Chapter 59, Cycling General

At this time, Gongsun Zhi asked seriously, "If it is as the eldest son said, Taiping Dao is a big hidden danger?"

Chunyu Pei sighed and said slowly, "I have reported in all counties of Xuanteng County, and the number of Taiping believers in each county is increasing day by day. In the past, we used to get together once a month to hold a legal event to diagnose diseases. Now there are many gatherings after a few days, and the number of people is very worried. However, even so, there have been no major accidents in this county in the past few years. I'm afraid more evidence is needed to say that Taiping Road can cause turmoil in the world.

He paused, as if he had sensed the reaction of the people present, so he added, "Anyway, I still have to be moreware of the criminals. If someone secretly colludes with the thieves to make trouble, it must be unpreventable. This time, Taiping Road and Hu Thieves collusion is more or less a warning.

Zu Zhao does not think that Gongsun Zhi's words are the same as Chun Yupei's words. Chun Yupei believes that it is obviously still affected by the local situation in Xuantu County. Xuantu County is sparsely populated and relatively limited in Taiping Taoists, so the biggest threat is still repeated aliens.

Zu raised his eyes for a while when Chunyu Pei spoke, but his face was still grim. Although he did not express a clear meaning, he still gave people the feeling that he was more inclined to his grandson.

Gongsun Zan and Zhang Nan have different degrees of conjugation. The chaos of more than a hundred people alone will involve such a big hidden danger. It does sound a little alarmist, but they have to be interested in Zu Zhao's analysis in many aspects. Let's not talk about whether Taiping Road is a blessing or a disaster. It's just a natural and man-made disaster in recent years. The people are living and hungry, which is really dangerous. After drawing from the past and the present, we can also know that there will be chaos after the disaster, so we have to be cautious.

Gongsun Zan had heard that Zu Zhao's teacher was from Lu Zhi, who could be his fellow brothers. Even if Zu Zhao dropped out of school, Lu Zhi's reputation can still occupy the top. Since he is also an official and a brother of the same family, he still admires Zu Zhao very much in his heart.

After a moment, Zhang Nan said calmly, "In fact, Lord Hao and Lord Sun are on the same road, but they came down to the trust of Lord Zhuo County. Yesterday evening, they entered the city and met the two majors early this morning and visited together. Zhuo County is similar to Jizhou, and Taiping Road originated from Giant Deer, so Zhuo County is deeply affected by it. Speaking of which, the lord of this county is worried about peace and demagogy. He happened to hear about the accident in your place, and the special commissioner came to learn more about it.

Zu Zhao had expected that Zhang Nan should have nothing to do with Gongsun Zan and Hao Yan, and he could not even sit with Gongsun Zan and Hao Yan in terms of official positions. Hearing Zhang Nan's words, he felt that the other party should understand the situation of Taiping Road.

At this time, Zuju followed Zhang Nan's words and made some additions, saying, "Zhaoer, Lord Wen, the governor of Zhuo County, is a highly regarded person. In the past, your father also made a special visit and made friends with Lord Wen. In fact, Lord Wen is also very worried about civil chaos. He hopes that after learning about the case of Lingzhi, he can submit a letter to give detailed explanations to the interests.

Zu Zhao knew that Zu Ju was reminding him. He searched for his memory and vaguely remembered that "this Lord Wen" was named Wen Shu, and his name was Tai Qiao. When his father dated him, Lord Wen had just taken office as Zongzheng. Later, when his father died of illness, the Wen family sent someone to hang him. Wen Shu is indeed a well-disciplined scholar. If it hadn't been for the suspicion of the party in those years, he would have been ranked among the nine ministers by now. Of course, in addition to Wen Shu himself, his son Wen Hui was also a famous minister in the Three Kingdoms period.

Zhang Nan then said, "To tell you the truth, although there is no major chaos in the Taiping Taoist in Zhuo County, they have repeated small breeding. Those Taoists pretend to use Fushui to cure diseases. If they recover, they will be effective. If they don't recover, they will be called dishonest. They will win people's hearts and swagger everywhere. At first, it was okay to see a doctor and save people without profit. Now with the increasing number of believers, it is inevitable that people who cheat can take the opportunity to cheat and gather people to accumulate wealth. Lord Wen of this county is very worried about this.

Zu Zhao said solemnly, "Lord Wen is really gratified to have such a vision. This time, if it is a simple thief, but when he led Benzhuang to fight with the thief, he encountered a neat and orderly team of horses with a rigorous formation. Even if he colluded with a thief, it should be an ordinary herdsman, so it makes me feel that this matter is different.

Gongsun Zan and Hao Yan looked at each other, and their faces had different degrees of concern.

Although Zhang Nan didn't look up to Zu Zhao very much earlier, after all, the reputation of the "Dragon City Flying General" made him feel very pompous. However, this time, he was a big thief. In official documents, he was famous for killing more than nine thieves. At such a young age, he had to look at such bravery. After listening to Zu Zhao's words, he raised his eyebrows and asked in awe, "Is it really so?"

Zu Zhao did not change his color and said, "My ancestors have witnessed more than a hundred children together, and they will never dare to say anything big."

Zhang Nan nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.

Gongsun Zhi sighed and said worriedly, "It's really an eventful autumn."

After a while, Zu Zhao said in a solemn tone, "I don't know if Lord Hao and Brother Wen Qiao have heard of the barbarians who are used to using black arrows?" He had told his grandfather earlier, but he did not deliberately emphasize the appearance of the black arrow thief that day, so even if his grandfather was very doubtful, he did not complicate this matter too much.

At this time, Zu Zhao mentioned the black arrow thief again. Zu raised his face couldn't help but look strange and stared at Zu Zhao deeply.

Gongsun Zan, Hao Yan and Zhang Nan looked at each other in con'spect and were mostly suspicious.

For a while, Hao Yan frowned and opened his mouth and said, "What Mr. Zu said about the black arrow means that the whole body of the feather arrow was black?"

Zui Zhao replied, "Exactly. Have you heard anything about Lord Hao?

Hao Yan's face hesitated and said, "A few years ago, when I was in Longyou, I seemed to have heard some legends about blackening the whole body of feathers and arrows, but it didn't seem to refer to the Hu people. What the local people said was about Xiliang people. More than ten years ago, all those who are superior in archery would make special marks on their arrows. Some people dyed red arrow feathers with cinnabar, and some people engraved arrows with paint. It was also possible to blacken the whole body of the feather arrow, but unfortunately, I just listened to it casually at that time and didn't pay attention to it, so I don't remember much. What, is this matter related to the case of Lingzhi County?

Zu Zhao nodded. He briefly described the black arrow Qiang people his grandfather and Wenxian lieutenant met in those years, and of course told him the story of meeting the black arrow thief. After that, he said, "These Hu people are haunted and sometimes hide in the Han Dynasty. There are not many clues at present, and maybe they can start from here."

Everyone was surprised to hear this.

Gongsun Zan was puzzled and said, "General Zu was many years ago. How can he be the same Qiang thief now?"

Chunyupei also said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Zuzu Zhao smiled indifferently and said, "I just know nothing."

Hao Yan said, "Anyway, the case of Lingzhi County is not a small matter. I will tell General Zhang truthfully."

Zhang Nan also nodded solemnly and said without neglect, "When I return to the county, I will truthfully report to the lord of the county."

Zu Ju said with a sigh, "In that case, it's still hard for you. It's getting late now. It's better to stay overnight in the village and have a banquet for several adults tonight.

Everyone refused in vain, and finally agreed one after another.

[Wen Hui (178-223), courtesy name Manji, a native of Qi County, Taiyuan (present-day Qi County, Shanxi Province), was a minister of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, served as the governor of Yangzhou, and later moved to the governor of Liangzhou. In the history book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wen Hui combined with Liu Fu, the governor of Yangzhou, Sima Lang, the governor of Yanzhou, Liang Xi, the governor of Bingzhou, Jia Kui, the governor of Liangzhou, and Zhang Ji, the governor of Yongzhou (formerly the governor of Yongzhou). These six assassins were rated by Chen Shou as models of "exquisite opportunity, Wien at the same time, so they can eliminate thousands of miles" in all state assassins at that time.]
