The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 2 Chapter 22: Wen Gao first met

There were about ten people who greeted Xun Zhen, most of whom were village officials.

The current one is not very old, in his twenties. He wears a high crown on his head, a big robe, and his feet are on his head. He has a belt hook around his waist, and a sword is inserted diagonally. Taking two steps, he bowed his hands from a distance, laughed and said, "Zhenzhi, you are here!" Di Sheng urged the official who was holding the comet, "Why are you still standing there? Come up and greet me soon!"

- "Comet", that is, a broom. "Embrace Hui" means to hold a broom. This is not only a kind of etiquette to welcome guests, but also used to welcome newly appointed officials. It means that the courtyard has been cleaned. "Walking with clothes and brooms is afraid of dust and the elderly, so it is also respectful. ".

The official who "supported Hui" hurriedly stepped forward, held Hui in both hands, and bowed to salute.

The rest of the people also bowed and bowed.

Wen Ping took the lead, and waited until he ran to the front before reining in the reins. When he sat down and the horse was galloping, he couldn't hold his feet for a while, and barely stopped, raised his two front legs and neighed. He didn't dismount, so he sat in the saddle and whipped the whip, looked down at everyone from a high place, and asked loudly, "You are all local officials, are you here to welcome Xunjun?"

——The Wen family is a big family in Wanxian County, Nanyang. Where is Nanyang? Dixiang, where Emperor Guangwu started his life. Thirteen of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai were from Nanyang. In the more than 150 years since ZTE, there have been more than 60 people from Nanyang who have been worshipped as the third Duke and Jiuqing, more than 100 people who have been appointed as lords and kings, nearly 70 people who have served as the governor of the county and state, and many nobles in the county. The surname You Ju has been a minister of many generations, with a family background of 2,000 stones, so it can be said that he is very noble. And there are "back families" like Xinye Yinshi, who have produced several queens.

Compared with these famous families, the Wen family is far inferior, but it is still a big family in Wan County. Wen Pin heard the stories of the founding heroes since he was a child, especially Li Tong, Wu Han, and Zhu Hu, who were also from Wanxian County among the twenty-eight generals. The deeds of these three people are even more familiar. Growing up in such an environment, he had a high vision, and in addition to being young and vigorous, he was very polite to Xun Zhen. It was because Xun Zhen had a high reputation and Xun Zhen's kindness for introducing him. Country officials, but naturally not polite.

This scornful attitude immediately annoyed the young man who came forward to greet him. The man took two steps back, raised his head, held down the sword on his waist, and said angrily, "Where did you come from! Hold your posture in front of Nai Gong!"

Wenping is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and has not yet been crowned. Although he has grown up, he is still immature. It is good to be scolded as "ruzi", but the word "Naigong" is very insulting. He was furious, urged the horse to move forward, swung the whip and slapped the man in the face, cursing: "The wild dog, the breed of Zang Huo, dare to insult me?" The two characters Zang and Huo are in Nanyang dialect. , used to scold slaves and maids.

Although the young man did not understand these two words, he understood the meaning of "mean dog". I think he ran rampant in the countryside, where did he get such anger? Avoiding the long whip, with a "dang bang", he pulled the sword out of its sheath, tied his neck, jumped his feet and cursed: "Xiao Zhi! Dare to scold Nai Gong, do you want to die?" He turned his head and called the people behind him, "Second year, senior year, you two still What are you doing? Pull him down from the horse! ..., thief, if I don't kill you today, Nai Gong will not be this high!" He couldn't wait for the people behind him to come up, and he stepped forward with his sword and went to pull Wenpin with one hand. The bridle of the mount, with the sword in the other hand, was about to stab the horse's neck.

Xun Zhen was a poor horse and walked slowly. Seeing that Wen Pin and the young man were about to start, he hurried to the front, and before he could get off his horse, he drove the horse to the middle of them, temporarily separated the two, and shouted, "Don't do it! Let's do it!" He got off his horse, stepped on two steps, grabbed the young man's hand holding the sword, and said repeatedly, "Don't be angry, Zixiu! Don't be angry, Zixiu!" Wen Ping called out from the side, "Zhongye, this is the Gao Junzi embroidery I often tell you, why don't you get off your horse quickly?"

This young man is Gao Su.

Gao Su relied on his family power and was domineering in the village. He was always the only one who bullied others. How could anyone dare to bully him? Not listening to Xun Zhen's persuasion at all, he pulled back his sleeves, bypassed Xun Zhen's mount, and took the second and third year of high school on his arm, and he was about to go to Lavinpin to dismount.

Wen Pin listened to Xun Zhen's words, took a few steps and jumped down. The second and third year of high school rushed to the place, and he raised his fist and hit him. He did not avoid or let it go. Gao Su, who came running, took a few steps back and said, "So you are Gao Su. .

Gao Su shouted: "Dead thief! You don't know it's me? I'll let you know who I am today!" Fu stabbed with his sword again. Wen Pin took two steps back and said, "I'm giving back again and again not because I'm afraid of you, but because I know that you respect Xun Jun, so I give you three points of face. If you don't know what's good or bad, I'm welcome!" Gao Su scolded : "Neigong respects himself, what are you doing, kid? Take a break and take my sword!"

Xun Zhen chased after him, grabbed his robe tightly, and said, "Zixiu, Zixiu! Zhongye is still young, so look at my thin face and put away the sword!" He couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself, "What is this called? What's the matter? You came to take office well, but you only arrived at the border of the township, so you will fight with swords and horses first!" He said to Wen Pin, who had retreated to the side, "Zhongye, you learned scriptures from my brother, and you are considered my nephew, Zixiu Nai. My friend, you are a junior, come here and make amends." He said to Gao Su, "Zixiu, Zhongye is from Shunai County Junxiang, and now he is an official in the court. He has always been friendly with me, you see it in my eyes. For the sake of it, don't get angry with a young man, put away the sword!"

Xu Zhong, Cheng Yan, Xiao Ren, Xiao Xia and others came to help hold Gao Su.

Gao Suwu was reluctant to forgive himself, and wanted to rush up, but he didn't rush two steps, and saw that the last few armored knights who arrived at the end dismounted, all stood behind Wenpin with swords, as if from Wenpin. Servant, follower.

His eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously glanced sideways at the sophomore and senior three who had just climbed up from the ground. Seeing that both of them were ashamed, covering the place where they were being kicked, grinning and grinning, a look of self-control endured the pain. He looked like, his mind changed sharply, and thought: "Today is to welcome Zhenzhi, and I didn't bring too many guests. Only these two wastes, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of Wen's children! If you insist on being strong, you can't say that you will suffer a big loss. Don't be afraid of losing face, it's too bad to lose face!" He rolled his eyes, thinking about it, "...Well, let's hold back the breath for now, and after I've told this kid to go to the pavilion with me, Call Qi Ren, call all the swordsmen in the family, and take revenge for humiliating me here!"

The county magistrate and the county officials couldn't scare him, but the hero did not suffer immediate losses. After he made up his mind, he still pretended not to be angry, but his subordinates became lighter, pretending to be pulled by Xun Zhen, then he stood still and said angrily: "Zhenzhi, I am overjoyed to hear that you took office today, so I called the township The officials have come to greet me! This kid is really rude, he is too rude to lash out at me and insult me ​​too much. If it's your fault, I must let him know about my Xixiang Gao Su's methods today!" pretending to be annoyed Vigorously retract the sword into its sheath.

How could Xun Zhen think that he had made up his mind to "lure the enemy to go deeper"? He thought it was because he was persuaded by his own family, and said with a wry smile: "Zixiu, thank you for coming to welcome me! ..., Zhongye, come to pay Zixiu a gift, and say no."

Although Wenpin was young and vigorous, his nature was simple and honest. Although he did not look down on a countryman like Gao Su, and although he was also angry with Gao Su's abuse, but now that he heard Xun Zhen's words, he still came forward and apologized, saying: " Gao Jun, it was me who was wrong, I shouldn't humiliate you first."

Gao Su hummed in her nose and said, "Let's look at Zhenzhi's face, I don't care about you as much!" He ignored him, took Xun Zhen's hand affectionately, and said, "Zhenzhi, come, I'll give it to you. You introduce, ..., these people are the assistants of the village." Pointing to the "Yonghui" official, he said, "This person's surname is Huang Mingxiang, and he is a village assistant in this township."

To Huang Xiang, Xun Zhen was "famous for a long time". As early as when Cheng Yan was involved, he heard that he was beaten by Gao Su, but he had never seen him.

After listening to Gao Su's introduction, he opened his eyes and saw that Huang Xiang was in his forties, with a medium build, thin face and beards. Bowing and saluting, even more timid.

Although Gao Su was careless when introducing him, and although he gave people a bad first impression, Xun Zhen was not arrogant, maintaining her usual politeness to people, returning a salute and smiling: "In the future, all matters concerning taxes in the countryside will be It will take a lot of trouble and rely on Huang Jun."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Gao Su squinted at him and asked, "Don't dare? Why don't you dare? Who dare you say? Is it me who doesn't dare, or Zhenzhi who doesn't? Don't dare? Don't dare to bother you? Don't dare to rely on you ?"

Huang Xiang hurriedly distinguished and said, "No, no!"

"No? What's not? Who are you talking about? I'm not, or Zhenzhi is not?"

Above the official road, all around are the wilderness, the cold wind blows, it is very freezing, but Huang Xiang is forced to sweat on his forehead by Gao Su, cupping his hands and bowing again, holding a broom, bending deeply. He lowered his waist and said in a trembling voice: "Gao Jun, calm down, no one's fault is wrong, it's all villain's fault!"—Since everything is wrong, I just don't tell the difference anymore, just apologize like saying a tongue twister.

Xun Zhen saw all of this and thought to himself: "This Gao Su is really a country tyrant. Although the village chief is working in the village, he is also a county official, and he is in charge of the tax collection of a village, and many of his candidates come from The surname in this town is reasonably powerful, but in front of Gao Su, this Huang Xiang is like a servant under the family, and I don’t know if it is because of his cowardly nature, or because he is afraid of being beaten by Gao Su?”

He glanced at Gao Su calmly, and thought again: "This Gao Su is arrogant and domineering, and there are many guests and followers in his family, and he is related to Yangzhai Huang's family. To have him respected will save a lot of trouble in governing the township in the future. However, this person acts recklessly~www.novelmt.com~, but it is also a resistance for me to govern the township, - he treats the villagers like this, not to mention the common people in Guizhou ?" Thinking of Gao Su's previous behavior of forcing Cheng Yan to give up his wife, "There must be a lot of bullying behaviors, which must have caused a lot of public resentment. ... How should I handle my relationship with him? I have to think hard."

Gao Su mocked and scolded Huang Xiang for a few words, and let out a little bit of the "bad anger" he had suffered just now. His mood improved, and he shook hands with Xun Zhen and said with a smile, "Zhenzhi, with your talent, how can you be the slaughter of ten miles? ? I knew you didn't stay in Fanyang for long, but I didn't expect you to be promoted in just three months! And you moved to your hometown, which is really gratifying! I prepared some beer wine at home to wash the dust for you ." He glanced at the horse that Xunzhen was riding, and shook his head, "This kind of horse is not suitable for you. Come, come, change my horse to ride. . . . When you and I are drinking at the banquet, While I'm listening to you talk about that thief at night, it's a pleasure!"

He had seen Xun Zhen's horse before, and he knew that it was an inferior horse, so when he came out to greet him today, he brought two more good horses with him. Xun Zhen couldn't resist his good intentions, so he had to change horses to ride, and the rest of the people followed and went to the pavilion.

——When he got on the horse and left, Gao Su secretly glanced behind him and saw that Wen Ping was also coming, so he felt relieved and thought fiercely: "The few people brought by the surname Wen are all majestic and majestic. They are like strong men, and they are not easy to deal with. I don't need to worry. I will wait for a while at the banquet. After three lines of wine, I will get them all drunk. I have to punch them all in the shit, and that's how I get out of my bad breath." Thinking of the beauty, he laughed out loud.

Xun Zhen was puzzled and asked, "Zixiu, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. I haven't seen you for a while. I remembered that I would have a good time with the wine later, and I didn't realize it, so I laughed out loud."
