Chapter 142 The lame man
When he found that someone suddenly rose up and rushed at him, Xiao Tianjian knew that he was playing big this time. He originally wanted to reflect his pro-people style, take the opportunity to buy the hearts of these scholars, and establish a good image among them. At the same time, he also knew that among these scholars Most people will be eliminated and go back to their hometown, so he also takes this opportunity to appease these people by the way, so that they don't turn around and become his enemies because they fall, at least let the scholars who come this time see his style and give them a reassurance.
That's why he ventured to come to the scholars and chat with them, but it's not that he hasn't considered the possible potential danger. Now he can be said to be the thorn in the imperial court, a thorn in the flesh, and a sworn enemy of a large number of officials, gentry and rich people in the world. I don't know how many people want his life! There are not tens of millions of people in the world who want him to die, at least hundreds of thousands, so whether it is the court or some extreme people, it is very likely to send assassins to assassinate him.
During this period, Jiang Qin has secretly caught more than a dozen details sent by the Nanzhili government in the city, pulling out a detailed network in the city. When interrogating some of the details, some of the details could not bear the punishment and confessed everything he knew. Some of them confessed. They were ordered to find a way. It is best to assassinate Xiao Tianjian in Wuchang Mansion and kill Xiao Tianjian. In this way, Xing Tianjun will become a set of scattered sand. There will be a situation of power grabbing internally and falling into civil strife, which will not be enough to become a big trouble for the imperial court in the future.
At this point, many officials and emperors in the court have seen that Xiao Tianjian is the soul of Xing Tianjun. The whole Xing Tianjun can be said to be condensed with Xiao Tianjian as the core. As long as Xiao Tianjian encounters an accident, Xing Tianjun will be chaotic, so this solution can be figured out.
But Jiang Qin also found a problem, that is, the detailed work captured in Wuchang Prefecture this time does not belong to one person's dispatch, but a lot of things happen. There are people sent by Ding Qirui in Nanzhili and people sent by Dongchang. Obviously, they do not know the existence of each other, but they are in their own way. But the goal is unified, that is, to find a way to kill Xiao Tianjian.
So Jiang Qin reported this matter to Xiao Tianjian, so that Xiao Tianjian must be careful. Don't show up often. If he has nothing to do, he will go outside to observe the people's situation and inspect the camps. However, Xiao Tianjian thinks that there are many loyal guards around him, and he is not a person without the powerless, although he dares to say He is the kind of fierce general who can take the head of the general in the Wanma army like exploring the bag and taking things, but at least there are not many people who can challenge him alone.
What's more, Jiang Qin and others have done a good job at present. They have arrested these people and even uprooted two groups of people who tried to assassinate him, so it was not a big problem. So after getting Jiang Qin's warning, he just slightly strengthened his guard's strength, and when he went out, he added it to his clothes. I put on a soft armor, and then I continued to do my own way.
But he didn't expect that there were assassins hidden among these scholars who came to take the exam, so when the assassin broke up, Xiao Tianjian just didn't take precautions. When the assassin pounced at him, he basically didn't even have a chance to draw a knife.
Zhao Xueyao is just a very ordinary scholar. He was originally just a dilapidated scholar in Gwangju. He is also a white-clothed scholar. The so-called white-clothed scholar is actually a fallen scholar. When he participated in the autumn festival in the first few years, he failed to win, and he was quite depressed at home. .
Later, there was chaos in the people in Henan, and it was difficult to escape from it in Gwangju. Originally, Zhao Xueyao's family was quite rich. There were dozens of mu of thin fields at home. Although he was not rich, at least he could live a decent life. With the people's chaos, their family's life would be difficult. People from all walks of life lived near their home like stars, which was inevitable. To his family, his family was first robbed by bandits, but at least although his family is a small landlord, it is still slightly well-known in the local area. Therefore, although the bandits robbed his family, they have some good reputation in their family. They did not go too far. They were just forced to rob dozens of taels of silver from the family, and some of the grain storage left by themselves. No beatings, cursing and hurting people.
However, it was not the rebels or bandits who really let them break their homes, but Zuo Liangyu's men. The year before last, Zuo Liangyu led his troops into Henan and fled in Qi County. He fled back to Huguang around Gwangju. He happened to lead the remnants and defeated generals through Zhao Xueyao's home. When Zuo Liangyu was defeated, he almost lost all the grain. Raising, I relied on to live on life all the way, so when I passed through Zhao Xueyao's house, I broke into Zhao Xueyao's house indiscriminately.
Zhao Xueyao's father and his theory turned out to be killed on the spot. Zhao Xueyao's newly married young wife was a little thin, but she was also snatched and ruined by Zuo Liangyu's men. All the slightly valuable things in the family were robbed. Zhao Xueyao was also broken by a leg. The old mother also saw her husband killed on the spot, so she threw away. He went up and worked hard with Zuo Liangyu's men. As a result, he was also cut into two sections on the spot. He died at home. When Zuo Jun was about to leave, he also set off a fire to burn Zhao Xueyao's house clean.
Later, after Zhao Xueyao's wife was released home, he threw himself into the river that night. Then Zhao Xueyao learned that even his sister, who had married to a neighboring village, also suffered a disaster and was also killed by Zuo Jun.
So Zhao Xueyao crawled to sue the official, but the officials in Gwangju heard that it was Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, so they didn't dare to care about it at all and didn't have the ability to manage it. So he drove Zhao Xueyao home and told him not to make trouble. He didn't even give any pension at all. If Zhao Xueyao's family hadn's good reputation in the local area, the neighbors would have helped If he buried his parents and wife and took turns to take care of his life, Zhao Xueyao should have died the year before last.
His leg injury didn't heal until this year, but he was still a little limping when he walked. After Gwangju was captured by Xing Tianjun this year, Zhao Xueyao learned that Zuo Liangyu, a big enemy, was actually killed in Jingzhou City led by Xiao Tianjian, the commander of Xing Tianjun, who was deeply revenged for him, so he made a temporary fight. He cried in the hut, and went to the grave of his parents and his wife to cry and offer a sacrifice. After that, he set fire to his temporary hut. Even if he found Xing Tianjun's people and threw himself to Xing Tianjun, his legs and feet were not very convenient. It was impossible to be a soldier. Fortunately, Zhao Xueyao could write well and was very familiar with it. After knowing the local situation, the local people of Xing Tianjun asked him to be a civil official to help manage local affairs around Gwangju. During this period, Zhao Xueyao has been helping Xing Tianjun do these things in Gwangju, and he has done quite well. Now he is dedicated to following Xing Tianjun.
When I heard that Xing Tianjun was going to take a course in Wuchang Prefecture, the people of Xing Tianjun encouraged Zhao Xueyao to take the exam in Wuchang. At the beginning, Zhao Xueyao was a little hesitant. It was not that he didn't want to be an official. In the past, he read a lot at night and read a lot of books. Originally Thinking that one day he could be named Guangzong Yaozu, but after experiencing that tragic disaster, his leg fell disabled and limped. Now he feels that it's enough to help Xing Tianjun as a civil servant. He doesn't dare to think of being an official in the exam.
But I didn't think that the people around Xing Tianjun said that he was talented and his legs were nothing. He asked him to try it. With his ability, he should be able to pass the exam. In that case, he didn't have to be a small literati below. At least he could be an official like a county, so Zhao Xueyao was encouraged to set out. Wuchang took the exam. Before leaving, his colleagues in Gwangju also sent him a ride and arranged for him to take a car to Wuchang with the convoy of goods to Wuchang.
So Zhao Xueyao limped and came to Wuchang City. In ancient times, when scholars wanted to get fame, disabled people were generally not selected, and it was difficult to be ugly to be promoted in officialdom. In fact, when Zhao Xueyao came, he was also hot-headed at the beginning. After arriving at Wuchang Mansion, he calmed down. I felt cold again, so I had a retreat.
But when he saw Xiao Tianjian today, he was very excited. He knelt down and thanked Xiao Tianjian for his kindness. Xiao Tianjian was a little surprised, so he helped him up and asked him what he was. Zhao Xueyao then told his background. Xiao Tianjian heard that Zhao Xueyao was now working for Xing Tianjun. After listening to his background , he also sighed. Taking this opportunity, he preached about the brutality of the court and the officers and soldiers. Later, he saw that Zhao Xueyao's legs were a little lame and retreated to the back corner. So he personally walked through the crowd and took Zhao Xueyao's hand and encouraged Zhao Xueyao not to be discouraged. Xing Tianjun wanted capable people, no Regardless of whether his leg is disabled or not, as long as he can get good grades, he can be hired as an official, which makes Zhao Xueyao not worry.
After Zhao Xueyao heard this, there was no need to say more gratitude in his heart, and hope was rekindled in his heart. He walked back to the crowd like looking up at the gods, looking up at Xiao Tianjian, his face was full of excitement, and tears flashed in his eyes. The haze accumulated in Zhao Xueyao's heart over the past few years, in At this time, it can be said that it was swept away. With Xiao Tianjian's promise, he made up his mind that even if he failed this time, he would continue to work with Xiao Tianjian in the future. If he could not be an official, he would be an official. In short, he would sell this life to Xiao Tianjian in his life.
When Zhao Xueyao was full of longing, he suddenly heard an exclamation and only felt that a person rushed past him like lightning. The afterglow of Zhao Xueyao's eyes just saw a cold light flash in the man's hand, so somehow, he didn't even think about it. Zhao Xueyao stretched out a hand and grabbed him. The clothes under the ribs of the person who slipped over, even when he took action, did not figure out what had happened. Maybe he subconsciously felt that this person was unfavorable to Xiao Tianjian! So he didn't go through his brain at all and caught this man.
(Khan, there are so few rewards this month! It seems that the writing has not resonated with the brothers! The next step is to consider the plot! Ha ha!)
