The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 2 Chapter 31: do away with evil

The next change is at six o'clock in the afternoon.

——

A middle-aged family's wealth is less than 100,000 yuan, and the third Lan said it was 65,000 yuan. Le Jin was so angry that he drew his sword with his backhand. Xun Zhen's eyes were quick, and she hurriedly stopped him again: "Wen Qian! Don't be impatient." Le Jin's hand was tightly clenched on the hilt of the sword, blue veins burst out from his forehead, he gritted his teeth, looked at Xun Zhen, and waited for him to speak.

At a critical moment, the chengfu that Xun Zhen had cultivated over the years showed its effect. She hid her anger, smiled slightly, and said, "Sixty-five thousand dollars is too much. These two people were only beaten, and they were not injured. It's Gao Jue, and I don't need to lose so much money."

"Xunjun, you are in the township, and we are all people under your rule. You have to deal with things fairly! This thief is your friend, so I let him go. Instead of suing the officials, I allowed him to go out. Money Redeemer, -- it's all on your side. We've already made concessions like this, why do you still want to reduce your money? This is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? You can't lose a single penny!"

Le Jin said angrily, "I have nothing on me. If you want it, you are seven feet tall!" The implication is that if you want money or not, you will have to die. Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Why is this!" She said to the third Lan, "Wen Qian has just returned from his teacher's funeral, and he has no money with him. I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring any money. Otherwise, you or you send someone with me. How about going to the official temple to withdraw money?"

"Go to the official temple to get money?" Someone in the crowd whispered, "What if he doesn't want to give the money if you let this guy go to the official temple?"

The third Lanyi looked at Xun Zhen, smiled and said, "The official temple is too far away, I don't want to go. Xun Jun, since you have money in the official temple, why not bring it? We are here with your friend. ,Await your return."

How could Xun Zhen leave Le Jin alone? He pondered slightly, and said, "Then otherwise, I will leave Wen Qian's mounts and I as a pledge. Although these two horses are worthless, they are worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is enough as a pledge. How about it?"

The price of a good horse today is 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and the two "sweet horses" that Xun Zhen and Le Jin rode together are indeed worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

No. 3 Lan agreed this time and said, "I will never agree to change this to someone else! But since Jun Xun said it, who would call you a township leader? I'll listen to you. Leave the horse behind. , take money to redeem." He raised his chin and ordered a young man to go up to lead Xun Zhen's mount.

Le Jin can be humiliated by himself, but he cannot let Xun Zhen be humiliated. I think he passed through Fanyang last time and met Xun Zhenxue on the road. Xun Zhen and Xun Zhen "saw him at first sight", and treated him with all sorts of hospitality, inviting him to the house, setting up wine and vegetables, hospitable hospitality, talking all night long, congenial, and the next day, gave him money and borrowed a horse, and sent him out of the pavilion. It's nothing but close friends, and it's nothing more than relatives. Le Jin is not a merciless person, so he kept all of this in his heart, so after finishing his teacher's funeral, he didn't rest for a day, so he came back to make an appointment.

He was very sad when the teacher passed away, but when he remembered that he wanted to see Xun Zhen again, he was also very happy. He excitedly came to the village and went to Fanyang Pavilion first. Only when he saw Du Mai did he realize that Xun Zhen had just been promoted and was promoted. For the sake of order in his hometown, after hearing about it, he was even more happy, and he was happy for Xun Zhen. Du Maiben said he was going to take him to the official temple in the township, but two young men surnamed Su came looking for him. Zhong is old, and the Fan brothers are lazy. Chen Bao is resting today, and Le Jin asks how to get there. Without waiting for him to find someone to deliver it, he hurried to the countryside again.

It was such a happy thing, but I didn't expect to encounter such a group of rogues inside and outside the Sangyin Pavilion Zhu Yang.

Le Jin knows people like the third Lan very well. There are also people like this in his hometown. They fight bravely, they are not afraid of officials, they are not afraid of ghosts in death. No, it's impossible, it's intractable. Therefore, at first, he treated each other carefully and apologized endlessly, but it turned out to be useless.

Le Jin's temper is resolute and decisive. If this incident would happen elsewhere, he would have drawn his sword long ago. However, since he knew that Xun Zhen was promoted to his hometown and had rank, he really did not want to cause trouble for Xun Zhen, so he was patient again and again. It's not enough for him to be patient, but seeing that Xunzhen was also patient at this time, he couldn't hold back, raised his hand and drew his sword, and said angrily, "Shuzi!"

Xun Zhen handed over the reins of the mount to the young man who came over to lead the horse. Seeing Le Jin draw his sword, he hurried over three or two steps, held down his wrist, and with a "dang bang", pressed the half-drawn sword back into its sheath. , said: "Wen Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much. One day is like three autumns. I am looking forward to your return!

"Xunjun, this Shuzi..."

Xun Zhen held his hand, gave him a wink, motioned him to stop talking, turned to the third Lan and said, "Excuse me, please bring my scabbard over here?" Pick up the sheath and hand it over. Xun Zhen caught it, retracted the knife, put it back into its sheath, and inserted it into her waist. No. 3 Lan said, "Xun Jun, you cast the scabbard well just now.... Did you see that? Xiao Wen is still holding his arm and screaming." Xun Zhen asked with a smile, "What? It hurts. No? ..., do you want me to pay him back too?"

The third Lan laughed, took two steps forward, patted Xun Zhen on the shoulder, and said, "Master Xun is a native of the township, and Xiao Wen is a humble citizen. He offends your friend and deserves to be punished. This money does not need to be compensated already."

Xun Zhen slightly shifted her shoulders, let go of his hand, and said with a smile, "So, thank you Third Monarch for your kindness."

"Xunjun, you are now a village slaughter, and we are our parents. I will ask you to take care of you in the future."

"Why do you have to be polite? We don't know each other today. The four surnames in the township are Gao, Fei, Xie, and the third. I have long admired the name of the respected clan. The word 'care' is not suitable. Much reliance on the royal family."

"If Xun-jun has an order, you can do what you want." The third Lan laughed happily, pointed to the two horses that were gathered together, and said, "Keep the horse here, and I will wait for you to send the money there. already."

"It will be delivered to you within an hour." Xun Zhen handed over and said goodbye, grabbing Le Jin and leaving.

When the two of them walked away, looking at the backs of the two of them, the third Lan put away her smile, "Bah", and said, "'I don't know each other'? , a son of a famous family, the Xun family of Yingyin, who came to the hometown in his twenties and had a rank, carried a sash and a seal, and seemed to be a hundred stone official. Disdain.

A young man was a little worried and said, "I have relatives in Fanyang, and I heard that this Xun, when he was serving as the pavilion chief in Fanyang, captured a man named Wu Gui, and he has been locked up in the Tingshe Jail and has not come out. He once brought people to help the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and attacked thieves in the middle of the night—not like someone who is afraid of things and weak. Second brother, do you think he will not send money? Or do some tricks behind our backs to find our bad luck?"

"Looking for our bad luck? What kind of bad luck can he find us? What do you think the one in Fanyang Pavilion is called? Wu Gui, can it be compared with you and me? Ask the village, who knows Wu Gui and who doesn't. I'm the third Lan!..., 'Killing a thief'? Are you or me a thief? I have heard about him attacking a thief, but they are just a group of short-lived ghosts from Jiaxian! He has the guts to kill a native A hero? With his cowardly and weak appearance, at most he can bully outsiders."

The third Lan touched the beard under her chin, stood on the official road, and looked forward, Xun Zhen and Le Jin were already gone. He lowered his voice and said: "Even if he is not weak and afraid of things, what if he really wants to find you and me bad luck? It's a big deal to do the same thing fifteen years ago again! ..., what my uncle did, let's do it. Can't do it?"

...

Xun Zhen turned her head and glanced back at the departure point. He turned his face back, smiled and said to Le Jin, "Wen Qian, why didn't you say a word?" From leaving to now, Le Jin has a sullen face and hasn't said a word. Hearing Xun Zhen's questioning, he was silent for a while, then asked, "Mr. Xun, why did you pay him money?"

"There are only two of you and me. There are more than ten of them. This place is not far from Zhuyangli. They are outnumbered and outnumbered, so what if they don't give him money?"

Le Jin said generously: "Although they are numerous, and you and I are few, but in my eyes, they are just like chickens and tiles. I don't need Xun-Jun to do anything, I can kill them all by myself!"

Xun Zhen didn't answer him, but smiled: "Why do you call me 'Xunjun' again? You and I are the same as before, just call me by name."

Le Jin's face flushed again, he raised his eyes to look at Xun Zhen, and exclaimed angrily: "Zhenzhi! I'm not joking with you. Since Jin's hair was tied, he has never been insulted, nor has he swallowed his anger because he was greedy for life and fear of death. , Yigou life! Zhenzhi, as you said, you and I are 'the same as the old', although the relationship is short, but I thought you were a talented and brave person, but I didn't expect you to be so weak!"

Le Jin was angry, and Xun Zhen was also very angry. Le Jin had never been insulted since the hair was tied, and Xun Zhen was even more so. The Xun family in Yingyin is very famous in the world, not to mention a rogue in the countryside, even the county governor and county magistrate will be polite when they see the Xun family. Although some of the clan members who did not understand ridiculed him because of his self-appointed pavilion chief, but that was behind his back, but no one had ever said anything sarcastic in front of him. The third Lan made it clear that he didn't take his township seriously at all, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

He said: "Wen Qian, not only you are angry, but I am also angry. You are angry because you think you have been humiliated. I am angry, one because of the insult, and the other because of the governance of the township. If this township has rank, it will come to an end!"

Le Jin was stunned for a moment: "Zhenzhi, are you angry too? ... Then since you are angry, why did you promise to pay him back?"

"Wen Qian, I know that you are brave and that you have killed a group of thieves. The third Lan and the others may not be your opponents, but let me ask you, what should you do after the murder?"

"Murder should be killed, and I am willing to pay for my life."

Xun Zhen sighed, "Wen Qian, you're only brave!"

"The bravery of a man?"

"The courage of a man can't bear anger. My parents gave birth to me, and my teachers taught me. A boy of seven feet is not easy to live, so how can he die lightly? A man should keep this useful body and use it in time, how can it be just because of a temporary humiliation? Murder in anger? What you kill is just a stubby, but what you destroy is your ambition! The son said: 'If you can't bear the small, you will make a big plan' To be famous, to endure it, but to wait for the opportunity to expand one's ambition!"

Le Jin was thoughtful and silent, but there was still a look of resentment in his expression, and there was still dissatisfaction in his eyebrows.

Xun Zhen smiled slightly, and said, "Of course, the Master said: 'Repaying grievances with straightness'. A gentleman's righteousness will not be humiliated."

"..., Zhenzhi, what do you mean?"

"This third orchid must be removed!"

"But didn't you say this is the bravery of a man?"

"Killing one of him and paying for his life under the law is the bravery of a man. Executing his entire clan and eradicating evil for the people is what a gentleman does."

"Execution, execution of the whole family?" Although Le Jin was a future "famous general", he was only in his twenties at this time, and he was born in a poor family. Whole family? He was a little startled.

"Wen Qian doesn't know anything. This third clan has been in the evil town for a long time, and has suffered from it. I have long planned to destroy this traitor, clarify the village, and make the people safe. The humiliation of you and me today is just an introduction."

Xun Zhen noticed Le Jin's astonished expression, and thought to herself: "I once heard Brother Zhong say that in the past, the great Confucian Ma Rong discussed the difference between the children of noble families and the scholars of the poor family, saying that the scholars of the poor family: 'Although they specialize in rewards and punishments, they do not dare to overdo it. Its length is also; it is strict with the law and abiding by the law, and its shortness is also ', as expected. Although Le Jin will be a 'famous general' tomorrow, once he succeeds, he is still only a young man who has just won the crown! The whole family will not feel the color change."

——In the eyes of others, he has just been crowned, but he has been a person in two lives, more than 20 years in his previous life, and more than 10 years in this life. Together, they have been together for more than 30 years. More mature ~www.novelmt.com~ Killing one person is only five steps of bloodshed, and the entire clan will bleed into a river. Le Jin was no longer resentful, but said unbearably: "Although he is a traitor and a villain, he will kill the whole clan in one fell swoop? Isn't it a bit harsh?"

Xun Zhen had already made this decision when she was talking to the third Lan just now, and it would not change again. He didn't hide his thoughts, and said bluntly to Le Jin: "The reason why I decided to execute his entire clan is for two reasons. Be a swordsman, there are many wicked youths in Luli who follow him, his minions are all over the place, killing one person and leaving the whole clan is to bring disaster to you and me, do you still want to wait for them to take revenge? This is one of them."

Rangers and swordsmen all died lightly. If only the third Lan was killed without destroying his entire clan, there was a real possibility that his clan would come to avenge him, and assassins would come to murder him. Xun Zhen paused for a while, then continued: "To cultivate virtue and to nourish the people, and to eliminate evil, the family has been in chaos in the village for a long time, and killing one person without destroying the entire family is not the method of eliminating evil, not being able to bring peace to the people, nor the art of building virtue. I can't make a name for virtue. The second one....Wen Qian, you can watch it, within a month, I will destroy its entire clan."

When Le Jin met Xun Zhen for the first time, he thought he was a heroic gentleman, warm and hospitable. After drinking candles at night, he felt that his words were interesting, he had a beautiful belly, and he knew a lot; Worry about the world, have generosity. When he met again today, he found that his understanding of Xun Zhen was not comprehensive. Under Xun Zhen's delicate and gentle appearance, there seemed to be a fierce tiger that wanted to devour people.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and had to admit that Xun Zhen was right: "However, Zhenzhi, how do you plan to destroy his entire clan within a month?"

"Make a plan and then move."

"How?"

"How?..." As he was talking, three or four people rushed over from the opposite side.
