The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Early the next morning, Xun Zhen and others went out of the city to travel to the county. In addition to Handan Rong and others, Xuan Kang also accompanied him.

Handan County was in the southernmost part of Zhao State, and the rest of the counties were in the north of Handan, so everyone went out of the city through the north gate.

The lieutenant's mansion is in the west of the city, go east out of the mansion, go to Cross Street, and turn north.

In Handan County, most of the nobles and tyrants live in the north of the city. As soon as you enter the north area of ​​the city, you will see cars and rides on the wide streets. Most of the people walking are wearing high-crown Confucian clothes, broad sleeves, or embroidered clothes and beautiful belts, and wearing sachets and swords, which are very different from those in the west and south of the city.

Since Xun Zhen traveled in low-clothing clothes, she would never wear official robes with a sash, without a crown, wrapped in a scarf, wearing an ordinary black robe of coarse cloth, with a straight-edged sword with a ring on her waist. The sword is a well-refined sword, and the scabbard is ordinary wood. Handan Rong, Xun You, etc. are also dressed in rough clothes. Although Zhao State is small, there are more than 200 miles from Handan to the northernmost Bai people. If you walk on foot, it will take ten days at least. In addition, if you go to the mountains to the west to take a look, it is estimated that this time will not be enough. After more than a month, Xun Zhen didn't have so much time, so even though she traveled to the county in Weifu, she also brought a mount. His snow-treading owl was too conspicuous, so he didn't bring it. Everyone brought ordinary horses. Because it was in the county, Xun Zhen didn't want to ride on a horse, so everyone led the horse and walked by the roadside.

They were dressed in ordinary clothes, and they were walking on the side of the road. No one noticed them by passing cars, riders, and pedestrians.

There are three li in the north of the city, and when he reached the second li, Handan Rong gave a light "huh". Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou were at the front, Dian Wei was at the back, Xun Zhen, Xun You, Xuan Kang and Handan Rong were in the middle. Xun Zhen heard Handan Rong's snort, turned his face to follow his gaze, and saw a limousine parked outside the second limen in the north of the city. The carriage is luxuriously decorated, but the most eye-catching thing is the horse that drives the carriage. It is a red horse. It is like fire all over the body. The tail is nearly 10 feet long, but it is a rare rouge horse.

A good horse in ancient times is like a good car in later generations. A good horse on the road attracts the attention of viewers. Generally speaking, there are several good horses in a county. Many people know it. This red horse is a famous horse in Handan County. Handan Rong looked at the horse and said, "This is the horse of the Yang family, but why is it parked here?"

"Yang family?"

The Yang family that Handan Rong said at this time can only be the Yang family of Handan. He said: "Although the Yang family is a powerful sect in the county, they do not live in the county town, but have lived in the manor in the township for generations. It's rare to see his family's parents enter the city, but why did they come to the county today... and park their car here."

This red horse is the best horse of the Yang family, and there are ten people who can use it to drive the yoke, that is, the head of the Yang family, that is, the patriarch.

Hearing Handan Rong say that this is the patriarch of the Yang family entering the city, Xun Zhen paid more attention.

He slaughtered the county soldiers a few days ago, and the chief of the village he killed was a guest of the Yang family. Many of the county soldiers who were slaughtered were also members of the Yang family. Although the Yang family didn't make trouble because of it, the more they didn't make trouble, the more abnormal it seemed. The Yang family is a local famous surname who lives in Handan for a long time. There are many slaves and guests in the family, and there are family soldiers in the family. There are also backers in the county. It is rampant and lawless, acting according to its past, it is a bit strange that it is silent and motionless today.

It was strange that there was no sound and no movement, and a few days ago, Handan Rong reported that the Yang family had invited many big names in the county, which was even more strange. Xun Zhen guessed at the time that the Yang family was probably trying to conspire and plot against him.

He looked at the red horse a few times and said with a smile, "It's really a good horse, just from the looks, it seems to be on par with my snow-trotting black horse!" He asked Handan Rong with a smile, "How can the Qing family be so good? horse?"

Handan Rong shook his head and said, "Not to mention the Rong family, even the whole county can't find a few horses that are comparable to the Yang family."

"do you like it?"

"Who doesn't like such a good horse?"

Xun Zhen smiled and stopped talking about this topic, and turned to look at the limen in the second li in the north of the city where the red horse and the carriage were parked, and said, "I remember that the Le family in this county is in this li. live, right?"

"Exactly.

Although there are many households here, the only surname is the Le family, which is worthy of the Yang family's visit, but only the Le family.

Xun Zhen asked, "The Yang family and the Le family have a good relationship?"

"The second son of the Yang family is a good friend, and he has a lot of good friends with the sons and nephews of the big families in the county. Not only the music family, but also the lieutenant. He also has a good relationship with several brothers, brothers and nephews of Rong."

"What about the parents of the Yang family and the parents of the Le family?"

"They haven't heard of much interaction."

While speaking, everyone had passed through the inner door of the second inner door. Xun You looked back while walking, and suddenly said, "Is the person who came out the head of the Yang family?"

Everyone turned to look, and saw a few people walking out of it. One of them was more than 50 years old. He was not tall, with thin eyebrows and a beard under his chin. He walked at the front. Two or three people followed behind him, and one of them followed closely behind him and bent sideways, as if sending him out.

Handan Rong nodded and said, "That's right, the one at the front is the one." The man who watched the Yang family's head out of the house said with a light sigh, "That's weird!"

Xuankang's face was also full of surprise, and he said, "Isn't the man who sent him out of the county a high-ranking official?"

Like the imperial court, the vassal state has officials such as doctors and officials, but they are not permanent. These officials are known as the subordinate officials of Lang Zhongling.

Xun Zhen suddenly remembered that Duan Cong also lived here.

Xun You hesitantly said, "The parent of the Yang family didn't come to the Le family, but to see Lang Zhongling."

Xun Zhen frowned and said in her heart, "The parent of the Yang family held a banquet, and I heard from Handan Rong that in addition to some big names in the county, he also invited Duan Cong, and now I meet him on the way to see Duan. Cong. What is he trying to do? Do you want to encourage Duan Cong to go against me?"

To be honest, although Duan Cong was the servant of Duan Gui, the regular servant of the middle school, he was not bad. Xun Zhen really didn't want to stand on the opposite side of him. The parents of the Yang family are in private connections. If the connection is only with some local surnames in Handan, Xun Zhen would not care too much. He has now controlled the county soldiers and city defenses, and his subordinates have more than 2,000 loyalties loyal to him. From the foot and cavalry, these Handan surnames have their own soldiers and family soldiers, but they can't cause any trouble, but if Duan Cong participates in it, it will be different.

The parents of the Yang family were entertaining Duan Cong and visiting Duan Cong's house again, which could not help but arouse Xun Zhen's vigilance.

But even though she was vigilant, having said that, Xun Zhen was helpless about this. Duan Cong is the nephew of the eunuch, he can't take the initiative to associate with Duan Cong, and Duan Gui is Duan Cong's backstage, and he can't move Duan Cong for no reason.

He pondered for a long time, sighed, and said, "Is it so difficult to do something real?"

The most difficult thing in this world is to do real things, especially in the case of long-standing abuses, if you want to do real things, you have to do real things, and if you do real things, it will inevitably affect the interests of certain people or groups, and affect the interests of these people or groups. interests, they will find trouble for you.

Xun Zhen has been in office for several years now. She has done some practical things and experienced setbacks. In fact, she has long understood the difficulty of doing practical things. He sighed just now, but he was not actually sighing about the difficulty of doing things. The harder it is, the more sense of achievement he has. What he sighed was that the Yang family did not wince. The Montenegrin Army is about to rise up, but your Yang family is still looking for trouble. Isn't this causing trouble?

Handan Rong thought that Xun Zhen was worried that the Yang family and Duan Cong might collude to oppose him, turned his face and glanced at the Yang family's parent who was boarding the car, turned his head, and said: "Although Yang's name is me The surname Qiangzong in Handan is nothing more than some farms and some slaves in the village~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is neither a famous family nor a hairpin for generations, and only a few county officials rely on them. Lieutenant He Do you need to worry about this? After returning from Xing County, if the lieutenant allows it, and see Rong's methods, how will he clean up his family!"

Xuankang said: "The Yang family is easy to deal with, but if Lang Zhongling is?"

"It's like rotten wood growing in bad soil. Without the Yang family's troubles, there will be no rotten wood."

Duan Cong is a foreigner, and the Yang family is a local. After Xun Zhen came, Duan Cong was very enthusiastic about Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Yang's family is the most common surname in the country. I came to Zhao State as an official, and I am going to use the power of all the surnames." , 'Clean up' the Yang family? Gongzai, you can't say this anymore, if it gets out, it might make the gentry and Qiangzong misunderstand me!"

Handan Rong understood and said in his heart: "It's not enough to 'clean up' without a reason, isn't it enough to 'have a reason'?" But he didn't say any more, nodding his promise.

When they were talking, the parents of the Yang family had said goodbye to the man who sent him out, got into the car, the husband turned his horse, drove onto the street, quickly passed Xun Zhen and the others, and went out of the city.

Xun Zhen and the others watched the carriage go away.

Seeing the strong and handsome red horse driving, Xun Zhen sighed again and praised again: "What a good horse!"

It is very comfortable to flow out of the city with people, and the cool wind blows on my face. Looking to the right, the distant mountains are continuous, and there are fields and trees nearby. Xun Zhen took the lead, and everyone got on their horses and went north along the official road.
