Three Kingdoms

"I'm going to Wu County..."

The fingers on the guzheng strings just pressed down, but they stopped there, as if they were stuck.

On the small building in the exquisite courtyard, Xiao Qiao raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu beside him.

Zhou Yu sat there, raising his head slightly, looking at the sky, and then slowly exhaled.

Today is cloudy and dark. It is obviously morning, but it feels like it is approaching dusk, just like my current mood.

Although Zhou Yu was called "Wu Wu Zhou Lang Gu" in history, and seemed to be prosperous in literature and music, in fact, he was able to follow Sun Ce and kill all the generals, and then lay the foundation of Jiangdong. He also had enough murderous spirit and martial courage. However, at this moment, Zhou Yu not only had no intention of listening to Xiao Qiao's music, but also did not even show any murderous aura. What was left was a sense of helplessness and confusion. It's like teaching your naughty child to do math problems. Watching the naughty child perfectly avoid all the correct answers and go straight to the most outrageous direction, you feel the helplessness and confusion in your heart.

If it had been...

Was the original choice the right one?

Zhou Yu suddenly felt a little confused, and had some emotions of self-interrogation and self-doubt...

"Wujun?" "Xiao Qiao asked, "Did something happen in Wu County? 』

"Well... it's not a big deal..." Zhou Yu said, "It's just that Jiangdong is unstable now, but the master wants to take over the power... If I don't go, something bad may happen..."

"Zhou Lang..." Xiao Qiao opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say anything specific. Although in the Three Kingdoms game Wushuang Mowing, Xiao Qiao is quite coquettish when waving his fan, but at the moment, it is still impossible for Xiao Qiao to give Zhou Yu any advice on the political situation in Jiangdong, or... What discussions and plans were conducted with Zhou Yu.

Some political evolutions cannot just appear. They must have been nurtured for a period of time. Some politically sensitive people can detect the subtle changes, while many other ordinary people are just ah-ha-oh trilogy. That’s all.

Zhou Yu's own status is not low, and he has been in Jiangdong for many years. Even if Sun Quan deliberately concealed it, Zhou Yu could still get the latest news. Zhou Yu must be more or less aware of some things that happened in Wu County, Jiangdong.

Originally, Zhou Yu didn't want to care about his thoughts. Because Zhou Yu also knew that he might not appreciate it if he took charge of Sun Quan. He would even think that Zhou Yu was meddling in his own business, and then he would feel that Zhou Yu was getting in the way more and more, which would lead to an irritable mentality. This might lead to more complaints and even resentment towards Zhou Yu. It's like some stupid kids in middle school, doing stupid things that they don't understand why they do it, and at the same time shouting for their parents' love and support, and yelling, "It's all my fault, isn't it my parents' fault?" Are you not wrong? 』

The problem now is that Zhou Yu is trying hard to learn how to get along with Sun Quan. He even left the inner circle of Jiangdong and came to a place like Chaisang to make room for Sun Quan so that Sun Quan would not feel depressed. But Zhou Yu Unexpectedly, after leaving supervision, Sun Quan did not know how to control and restrain himself, but instead showed self-indulgence and unscrupulousness.

The pacification of Jiangxia, Nanjun in Jingzhou, and even the turmoil in Changsha was not achieved by Sun Quan alone, and overall, although the territory was occupied, it could not be called smooth. Jingzhou Nanjun was gained and lost, leaving only Jiangxia in his hands. Although the rebellion in Changsha was suppressed, there were still hostile troops, but Sun Quan felt that he was ready. He left the keyboard with his hands, and the big orange was already in his belly.

"To deal with the people of Jiangdong, we can only slow down, not rush... Bo Fu is on this matter..." Zhou Yu said softly, "I originally thought that the lord would understand... But now it seems, My lord just made it clear with his words..."

"If there is a war in Wu County now, the whole Jiangdong area will definitely be in chaos!" "Zhou Yu frowned slightly, "Bo Fu separated various places with military power. It was originally a strategy for coordination between inside and outside the industry. But now the lord wants to consolidate authority. Although it seems reasonable on the surface, it may not work...and..."

The original starting point of the Sun family's fortune was not very high, so even now that the Sun family has gained control of Jiangdong, it has always had an innate and irreconcilable conflict of interest with these Jiangdong people who claim to be a wealthy family. At the same time, People from the Jiangdong noble clan would not bow their heads easily.

This is a very real problem that will inevitably arise.

Sun Ce wanted to change, but he was impatient and couldn't wait that long, so he thought if he killed those who were unconvinced, wouldn't the rest be convinced?

So in the end Sun Ce died, at the hands of these people who seemed "convinced" on the surface.

Then Sun Quan came to power. At the beginning, Zhou Yu thought that Sun Quan had learned to compromise. Under Sun Ce's lessons, he understood what was the most appropriate approach. Instead of going head-on with these guys, he slowly digested it through assimilation and decomposition. These Jiangdong nobles did not expect that Sun Quan only tolerated it on the surface for a while, and now he showed his fangs.

"My lord wants to die with national honors..." Zhou Yu sighed again, "Forget it...I have to go on a trip anyway..."

"After so-and-so goes to Wu County, you don't have to worry about so-and-so..." Zhou Yu said to Xiao Qiao, "Everything at home remains the same. If there is anything urgent and difficult, you can send someone to find Zijing... ...I have already told Zijing..."

"Husband, you don't have to worry about your family..." Xiao Qiao stood up, walked behind Zhou Yu, and gently massaged Zhou Yu's slightly frowned brow with his hands, "But my husband's illness has just improved a little... all this running back and forth. ...』

Zhou Yu said: "I'm fine...you don't have to worry..."

Xiao Qiao was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I just hope that your husband's trip will go well... I will meet you at home and pray every day, hoping that your husband will turn around soon..."

Zhou Yu hummed, tilted his head back slightly, and leaned against Xiao Qiao. Then he closed his eyes, as if he had accumulated strength for a moment, then stood up, shook Xiao Qiao's hand, and nodded, " That's enough... No need to see you off, I will come back as soon as possible..."

After saying that, Zhou Yu turned around and walked away.

Xiao Qiao couldn't help but followed two steps forward, and then stopped when she saw Zhou Yu waving her hand. She watched blankly as Zhou Yu walked out of the yard and disappeared from sight.

After a long time, Xiao Qiao lowered his head, his shoulders slumped, and he let out a long sigh...

……(〒︿〒)……

In early December, the weather became colder and colder.

The snow seems to never stop. It has fallen for a few days, stopped soon, and then started falling again.

Above the land in Guanzhong is a vast expanse of white.

The trees in the mountain forest are covered with snow, and they are as beautiful as green branches and jade leaves. However, the snow is heavy, and either the branches shake off the snow, or they are crushed by the snow. What is equally troublesome is the snow on ordinary stilt houses. Even though the people really want to hide in their houses and shiver and don't want to go out, they have to grit their teeth when they look at the thicker and thicker snow. Come out and push the snow down, otherwise no one can guarantee whether you will sleep inside the house or in the snow next night.

Although the weather is bad, there are still many pedestrians and vehicles on the road.

Ten miles south of Lian Shao, there was a group of people on their way.

There were seven or eight horses in front and behind, and about twenty people.

In the queue, there was also a prison car converted from a baggage truck. Within the thick wooden frame, several people were imprisoned, old and young, men and women. They looked like a family, miserable...

Everyone exhaled a puff of white air and walked forward against the cold wind.

This group of people was none other than Sima Fu who had just taken office.

Sima Fu had the cheat sheet, um, reference materials given by Sima Yi. Of course, there was not much pressure in the competition. After careful preparation, he won the position of county magistrate of Lian Shao.

But getting a position does not mean the end of everything. On the contrary, it is the beginning of busyness.

No, Sima Fu, who had only been in office for a few days, had to rush to deal with a lawsuit.

The lawsuit did not arise after Sima Fu came, but existed before. Because the magistrate of Lian Shao was implicated in the grain draft, all administrative affairs and so on were put aside, and the original inspection of Lian Shao was The inspector also died in the line of duty, and the new inspector also came with Sima Fu, so these cases were naturally delayed.

The lawsuit is not that complicated. Someone sued the pavilion director of Fengjiazhaizi. He had incited people to make trouble during the grain draft and attempted to rob other people's property. In the past few years, the pavilion director had been in the countryside. Some trivial crimes in the film were also uncovered...

When the pavilion chief was captured by the soldiers and pinned down in the open space in front of the village, the people in the Feng family village were almost boiling. Countless stones and earth flew from everywhere, and even hit them accidentally. The soldiers on the side were so angry that the soldiers who were originally pressing down on the pavilion chief had to move to the side and shouted to the people around them to control their emotions.

The chief of the pavilion was tied up, and was hit with rocks and dirt so that his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, his head was bleeding, and he was in a miserable state. He had nowhere to hide, so he could only fall to the ground and curl up as hard as he could...

There is actually nothing wrong with this case, and there is nothing strange about it. Sima Fu knew this when he first came into contact with the case. As one of the problems left over by the previous Lianshao County Magistrate, the Pavilion Chief of Fengjiazhai had many evil deeds. If it were easier, Sima Fu could even send people to arrest the Chief of Fengjiazhai directly and close the case... …

However, Sima Fu did not do this. Instead, he and the newly appointed inspector took some personnel to Fengjiazhai to pronounce the sentence on the spot.

There were no twists and turns in the sentencing process because there were too many witnesses. Just a few people from the Feng family village could point out some of the misdeeds of the pavilion director in the past few years, from kicking in widows' doors to robbing vendors of goods. , and then beating strangers, eating and drinking on credit, etc. Almost everyone can tell what the pavilion director has committed, confirming that the pavilion director is indeed guilty, there are many crimes, and even crimes over a long period of time...

So Sima Fu simply dismissed the pavilion chief from his post in front of everyone, and then confiscated his family property. All the pavilion chief and his family were forced to serve as laborers...

The pavilion chief who used to be so arrogant in the countryside and walked sideways now not only lost his job, but also had to work with the hard laborers he looked down on before. After hearing Sima Fu's verdict, everyone immediately He was stunned and paralyzed on the ground. His family members were also crying and crying. They seemed extremely miserable.

But Sima Fu wanted to be so miserable, and he specially called other nearby pavilion chiefs to come and watch. To be honest, the hands and bodies of these pavilion chiefs in other areas of Lianshao and in the countryside may not be clean. This is just because the pavilion chief of Fengjiazhai Village had some relationship with the former county magistrate of Lianshao. He just behaves recklessly and his behavior is most unscrupulous. Now that the backer has fallen, naturally everyone is pushing for it. The chief of the pavilion can't get away with any crime, so he will naturally bear the brunt and be used for surgery.

On one side was the crying pavilion chief's family, and on the other side were the people of Fengjiazhai who were celebrating. In such a scene, Sima Fu sternly lectured the other pavilion chiefs, who were the people in Fengjiazhai. After being repeatedly persuaded to stay, they escorted the family of the former pavilion chief of Fengjiazhai, and the group rushed back through the wind and snow...

It's not that the three elders of the Feng family's village don't know how to behave and are unwilling to leave Sima Fu to inspect and wait for people to eat, but it's because Sima Fu announced the crime of the pavilion chief's eating and taking cards, and then there were a lot of people in the village. Even if Sima Fu didn't care about taking advantage of this, he would definitely give him money or something, but it wouldn't sound good if it was spread, not to mention that there wasn't any good food in the mountains and villages, so it was better to go back to the county town directly. At least I can feel comfortable having a bowl of hot soup.

As for the property of the former pavilion director, it was sealed immediately. After inventory, those that were easy to carry were registered and taken away on site. Those that were not easy to carry were sealed and will be dealt with later. If someone is in this situation again He also stole sheep and so on. Sima Fu didn't mind adding companions to the pavilion chief and his family in the hard labor camp.

It seems that the case is closed, but this lawsuit either ends here or is completely settled.

The pavilion chief of Feng Family Village was dismissed, and another one needs to be elected. Although the official positions at the grassroots level, such as li,li, pavilion chief and so on, are small, they cannot be filled every day, and one must be elected.

According to the custom of the Han Dynasty, positions such as the chief of the pavilion were recommended by local residents or directly appointed by township officials. Generally speaking, they were held by people with greater reputation or stronger local financial resources.

Generally speaking, it is not difficult to choose an appointment. The difficulty is that the pavilion chief had a lot of shortfalls before. Because he was covered by the former county magistrate of Lian Shao, it would be okay even if the tax warehouse was in short supply. But now, This is a mess that no one wants to pick up...

Sima Fu was met with a cold reception when he asked if anyone in Fengjiazhai could volunteer or if someone should be elected by the public to serve as the chief of the pavilion. Seeing that it was difficult to decide on the spot, Sima Fu didn't necessarily decide on the candidate on the spot, and he didn't show anything. He just said lightly, "In this case, we will decide later..."

After arriving at Lotus Spoon, he ordered people to prepare some Tuo Tuo soup to give all the soldiers who followed him a hot meal, and then entered the hall with the patrol inspector.

A meal of Tuo Tuo soup, that is, pimple noodle soup, half a bag of couscous, salty pickled vegetables, a small piece of dried meat, and soup and dry firewood. How much is the total worth? But it can make these soldiers who followed Sima Fu on a trip in the wind and snow, smile happily...

Sima Fu did a good job in this aspect. After all, he came from a noble family and he didn't care much about the small money. Of course, his position as a superior was slightly different from that of the previous Lianshao County Magistrate.

This made the new inspector feel that Sima Fu was a good person at the beginning. Although he was not old, he was experienced and could cooperate well and put the lotus spoon in order. , the inspection team realized that some things may not be what he thought...

In the side room of the Lianshao Mansion, Sima Fu sat down and asked his servants to prepare some food. He also said to the inspector: "In the Feng Family Village, although the chief of the pavilion is breaking the law, the people are also telling lies. A cunning move..."

"oh? ” The inspector frowned slightly, “How do you say this? 』

"The combination of river ice and ice is not the result of a day's cold and the accumulation of soil into mountains. It is not the work of Si Xu. In the Feng family village, the pavilion chief is doing something wrong, and it is not just a recent incident..." Sima Fu smiled, and there was something in his smile. There was some contempt, "But the people of this village were timid and dared not speak out before, but now they act indignantly. Isn't it ridiculous?" 』

"Although the magistrate of Lianshao had acted improperly and had many partialities to protect him before, the Huqi Mansion Office is also in Chang'an. If the chief of the pavilion has done such harm, why can't he directly go to Chang'an to redress his grievances?" Why wait until now to complain? It's just an excuse to use the topic to find an opportunity... What's more, after the evil thief was removed, we should be grateful and share the responsibilities. However, the villagers know that the pavilion is short-term, so they shirk the blame and are unwilling to take the responsibility... Hum Huh...they only want to gain and are unwilling to pay..." Sima Fu chuckled and summed it up, "A bunch of unruly people! 』

In Sima Fu's view, the pavilion chief certainly deserved his punishment, but the people of Fengjiazhai, who were usually submissive and did not dare to say anything, and were even suspected of fueling the pavilion chief's arrogance, could not be considered good people.

The inspector frowned slightly. He subconsciously felt that Sima Fu's words sounded a little uncomfortable. However, the inspector himself had not read many books, so he could not tell what was wrong with Sima Fu's description of the people in Feng Village. .

After all, the inspector was older than Sima Fu, and he had seen life and death on the battlefield, so even if he felt he had different opinions, he did not speak out and argue with Sima Fu, he just listened.

After finishing the meal, the inspector returned to his squad room. After pondering for a moment, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down the matter in a very rough note, and then left him at the end. My own question, "Diao Min?" After all... what is a troublemaker? 』
