Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

Zhang Chen rushed out, grabbed Huang Wenyi's shoulders, pulled him back, and threw him to the ground.

Anyway, today's incident has become a big deal. The county magistrate and the county lieutenant have been killed, and you, a profiteer, are not a big deal!

Today, I will settle all the old and new grudges and get rid of you at the same time!

"Ouch!"

Huang Wenyi's fat body was knocked unconscious. When he looked up, he met Zhang Chen's murderous eyes. He was frightened and knelt down quickly, kowtowed continuously.

"Master Zhang, Master Zhang, please forgive me, forgive me! This... this... this... this is all what Zhao Xiong, that bastard, told me to do, not my idea!"

Zhang Chen said coldly: "Huang Wenyi, my father funded you because he saw your business acumen. He repeatedly warned you to be honest and trustworthy in business, but you threw his admonitions behind your back. Over the years, how many unscrupulous things have you done, can you still count them? Since Zhao Xiong took office, you have become even worse and colluded with him! Today, I, Zhang Zifan, will clean up the business world in this county, and I must get rid of you!"

"No... no... don't kill me! I'll give you money, as much money as you want! Please don't kill me!"

Money? If you die, your property, your shop, everything you have will be mine, why do you need to give it to me?

"Let me spare you? You might as well ask the people in this city if they agree!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Huang Wenyi, there was a severe drought two years ago. It was you who hoarded grain and drove up the market price. My father starved to death because he couldn't afford to buy grain!"

"Your Huang family's pharmacy sells fake medicine. My mother died after drinking your medicine!"

"My child is the same. His surname is Huang! Give me back my child!"

...

The crowd was excited. Over the years, Huang Wenyi had done too many unscrupulous things. The people obviously hated him to the core.

"No... no... it's not like that... I was wrong. Don't kill me, spare me!"

Huang Wenyi looked at the people in the city and no one spoke for him. He couldn't help but feel full of despair in his heart.

Zhang Chen sneered, and the knife in his hand drew a graceful arc, leaving a trace of blood on Huang Wenyi's neck.

Huang Wenyi stared blankly at the person in front of him. He was extremely regretful at the moment. If he had not made things difficult for the Zhang family at the beginning, perhaps he would not be here today...

Forget it, maybe in the next life...

Huang Wenyi closed his eyes dejectedly, a trace of tears passed through the corners of his eyes, and then he fell down.

The knife in his hand was full of blood, dripping from the tip of the knife drop by drop.

Zhang Chen looked at the three corpses in front of him, closed his eyes, and thought deeply.

Now that the evil leader has been eliminated, there is no turning back. If we want to subdue the police and take the city by force, it is not difficult, but it will also confirm the crime of treason. In the future, there may be constant attacks and it will be difficult to develop at ease.

The most urgent task is to stabilize this matter first and make a smooth transition, which is the best policy.

But how to stabilize the situation?

Zhang Chen secretly calculated and felt that this was not a difficult task.

At this time, the political situation in the court was in chaos. The death of a county magistrate seemed to be a big deal, but in fact, it could be a small matter. As long as the superiors in the county were stabilized, this matter would not be a big deal!

Earlier, I heard that Li Wen, the prefect of Wei County, was an upright official and was dissatisfied with Zhao Xiong and his ilk. Although killing Zhao Xiong was a serious crime, it was only a matter of a word from the prefect.

What we need to do now is to win the hearts of the people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen threw the knife aside and said to the officers beside him: "Brothers, please tie me up quickly and take me to the county to surrender!"

"Master, you can't do that!" Wu Guanjia was very anxious after hearing this, "If you go to the county, it will be tantamount to seeking death!"

Zhang Chen shook his head and said: "I killed these three people today, although I had no choice, but I still committed a serious crime. Killing an official appointed by the court without authorization is a crime of treason. Don't let the people of the city suffer because of me! I only hope that the county magistrate sent by the court in the future will be a good official who loves the people like his own children. In this way, I can die peacefully. "

Zhang Chen said, tears fell from his eyes, and he turned to Wu Guanjia and said, "Uncle Wu, remember, after I die, the porridge-giving program should continue, and it should not be abandoned!"

"Master..."

"You can't take Master Zhang away, Master Zhang is innocent!"

"Yes, it was Zhao Xiong who bullied the people and committed atrocities first, he deserves death!"

"Yes, if you want to take Master Zhang away, you have to step over our bodies!"

Seeing this, several officers were at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Although they were not familiar with Zhang Chen, they also knew that the Zhang family had always been kind and generous, and many people in the city had benefited from their kindness. Today, Master Zhang was giving out porridge here, but Zhao Xiong, the dog official, deliberately made things difficult for him, and he ended up losing his life.What does it matter to the son!

"Mr. Zhang is kind and righteous, why don't you take the position of county magistrate! Only then will we have a way to survive!"

"Yes, I support Mr. Zhang to be the county magistrate!"

"I support it too!"

"I support it too!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately attracted the response of the people.

Zhang Chen was delighted. It seemed that the original owner's father did a lot of good things in the past, which made the Zhang family so popular in Guangping. Now that the people's hearts are with me, why worry about not achieving great things?

Zhang Chen calculated in his heart, but said: "No, I have killed the county magistrate and the county lieutenant. If I steal his position again, wouldn't it be a rebellion? This is absolutely not allowed, absolutely not allowed!"

In the past, Jin Wen accepted the imperial edict and refused three times. Zhang Chen naturally understood this principle. You have to do the whole show!

Just as Zhang Chen pretended to refuse, Hua Tuo beside him said quietly: "Mr. Zhang, a real man should not refuse. Since you have a kind heart, you should do so. This is also what the people hope for."

Zhang Chen was stunned. He did not expect Hua Tuo to say this. He hurriedly said: "Sir, Zifan was reckless and made your medical knife stained with blood. It is my fault."

Hua Tuo stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "No, it is not wrong for a doctor to save people. However, under the medical knife, there is no Good and evil, right and wrong, all are life. Young master, you killed the evil and saved the people of the city, your merit should be even greater. "

"This gentleman is right." A young man dressed as a scholar stood up and said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, since Zhao Xiong took office, we have been oppressed and exploited by him, and we are miserable! Fortunately, Young Master Zhang has taken justice for the heavens and killed this thief with his own hands. How can we watch him suffer from prison and swords and axes and remain indifferent!"

After the young man said this, he knelt in front of Zhang Chen: "Please take over the position of county magistrate, Mr. Zhang, and save the people of the city from the water and fire!"

"Please take over the position of county magistrate..."

For a time, many people knelt down.

Seeing this, Wu, the butler, came to Zhang Chen and whispered, "Master, the people's wish is this, we can't go against it. Why don't we just do what everyone wants?"

Zhang Chen also saw that the time was almost right, so he said, "Since the villagers are so kind to me, I dare not refuse. Before the new county magistrate arrives, I will temporarily take over the position of county magistrate. If the governor charges me in the future, I will bear all the responsibility!"

"Greetings, Mr. Zhang!"

As soon as the voice fell, all the people knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing this, several officers also knelt down and kowtowed.

For these officers, no matter who is the county magistrate, they are just following orders. Besides, compared with Zhao Xiong, Zhang Chen is obviously a much better master.

"Haha, good." Hua Tuo stroked his beard and said, "I didn't expect that I would have such an adventure when I passed by here today! Don't worry, Master Zhang. I came here at the invitation of Master Li, the governor of Wei County, to treat his wife's chronic illness. I will tell you the truth about today's matter and will never cause you any trouble."

Zhang Chen was overjoyed when he heard it.

Hua Tuo is a famous doctor of the time, and he is very prestigious both in the court and the public. If he can mediate and find a way to befriend the governor, this matter will be suppressed! In this way, a lot of trouble will be saved.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen looked overjoyed and bowed hurriedly: "In that case, Zifan thanks you. I don't know your name, but if I can escape this disaster, I will repay you for your kindness in the future."

"Haha, I'm Hua Tuo, with the courtesy name Yuanhua, from Qiao County, Pei State. I'm just a wandering doctor, so you don't have to be like this."
