Chapter 14 Chen Gong

Under the leadership of Liu Pi, Zhou Cang easily found the treasure house of mountain thieves.

Zhou Cang opened the box in front of him and was dazzled by the golden light. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Liu Pi with great difficulty, "Are you mountain thieves really so promising?" If I had known that the mountain thief had such a "money way", I would have gone directly to the mountain to fall into the grass.

Liu Pi also straightened his eyes and muttered to himself, "Didn't you say that there was only a little left? Damn Wang Da (the name of the big mountain thief leader), how dare you lie to me!" His heart had already regretted that his intestines were green. If he had known that there would be so many words, he would not have told Zhou Cang.

Liu Pi quietly put his elbow on Zhou Cang and said in a low voice, "Why don't we swallow this box?"

Zhou Cang subconsciously nodded when he heard the words. Halfway through, he suddenly woke up and stared at Liu Pi viciously and shouted, "Is Zhou Cang such an unjust person? I put my words here. There will be nothing missing here today."

When the soldiers beside him heard the words, they all looked up at Zhou Cang with very respectful eyes.

Zhou Cang put on a shape, but in fact, his heart was bleeding with pain: "Woo-woo, Liu Pi, you son of a bitch, if you want to find a box, bring me here in private! With so many people watching now, how dare I swallow it? You should know that General Li Er is a money-threatening person. I want to hack his money, and he can eat me alive. Whoo-hoo, where's my money!"

Such as Zhou Cang put on a righteous and awe-inspiring shape while bleeding with heartache.

In Runan City, Li Feng suddenly sneezed and said doubtfully, "Well, is Sister Diao Chan thinking about me again?" Thinking about it, he looked like a pig brother; suddenly saw the account book in front of him and woke up from his dream, one head and two big.

Li Feng said to Zhang Fei, "Brother, I can't go on like this. I'm about to be driven crazy by these things!" He pointed to the high account book of the hill in front of him, with a deep hatred on his face.

Zhang Fei heard the words and greatly agreed. Liao Hua and Liao Da Niu also nodded like chickens pecking rice.

Li Feng said again: "Zhou Cang defeated the bandits. In a short period of time, there is nothing to worry about in Runan City. I plan to take advantage of this time to go to Yingchuan Academy to visit some talents, especially those in internal affairs.

Liao Hua heard what he said and agreed: "The second brother is right. We are all rude and don't understand internal affairs. You can barely resist it in a short time. If it takes a long time, there will be trouble sooner or later. Why don't I go with my second brother so that I can have a care.

Li Feng thought for a moment and said, "Well, my third brother and I went to seek virtuous, and Ru Nancheng asked my eldest brother and fourth brother. This is the foundation of my standing in this troubled times, which should not be ignored.

The four brothers agreed, so they won't say more.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Li Feng and Liao Hua embarked on the long road of seeking virtuous.

On the way, he passed Yingyang County and saw the people living and working in peace and prosperity. Li Feng was surprised.

You know, this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when there were frequent wars. It is really surprising that a small county has such a prosperous scene.

Li Feng secretly said, "There must be talents here!"

Looking back at Liao Hua, Liao Hua nodded, and the two found a restaurant to live in the county.

Running all the way, Li Feng and Liao Hua have already been hungry. At this time, how can they stand it when they come to the restaurant? Before long, a table of wine and dishes was swept away.

During the discussion, they suddenly heard the conversation between the merchants, but the two of them became interested and listened attentively.

A merchant said to his colleague's partner, "I came to this Yingyang County a few years ago, and I only saw the people's livelihood withered and the city dilapidated. How can there be today's weather? It's really strange, strange!"

His partner said, "It's nothing strange. Two years ago, a good official came here, painstakingly and lonely, and there is such a scene like today."

The merchant asked, "Are you talking about the county magistrate of Yingyang?"

"No, although this county magistrate is not greedy, his ability is mediocre. How can he have such a ability?"

"What the hell is that..."

"Forget it, I won't sell it. The good official I said is the main book of Yingyang, Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai."

The merchant listened and didn't say anything, but Li Feng was scared by this. He sprayed out with a mouthful of wine and didn't care about wiping it. He hurriedly asked the merchant's partner, "We just heard you two talking about a good official. I don't know what you are talking about?"

The merchant's partner looked at Li Feng strangely, but due to etiquette, he still repeated what he had just said.

Chen Gong (?-198), a public platform, a counselor under Lv Bu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, from Dongwuyang, Dongjun (now Xin County, Shandong Province). He is straightforward and resourceful. When he was young, he made friends with well-known people in the sea. In 192, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, died in the fight against the yellow scarf in Qingzhou. Chen Gong and others advocated that Cao Cao took over as the pastor of Yanzhou. However, Chen Gong turned against Cao because Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, and lodged Zhang Mi and others to betray Cao Cao to welcome Lv Bu into Yanzhou and assist Lv Bu to attack Cao Cao. After Lv Bu was defeated, he was captured by Cao Cao with Lv Bu and others and decided to die.

Cao Cao's knife assassination of Dong Zhuo was defeated and fled to Zhongmou and was captured by the sergeant. Chen Gong knew Cao Cao and plotted with him. On the way, he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's cruel killing and left. Chen Gongyi interpreted Cao Cao and wanted to solve Li Shu's slaughter. Later, he voted for Zhang Mi and then to Lv Bu. Lv Bu listened to his plan to defeat Cao Cao in Puyang. Chen Gong offered advice for Lv Bu several times. Lv Bu almost did not obey. The city was broken. Chen Gong was captured by Cao Cao and determined to die.

Li Feng thanked the merchants and frowned and thought, "I remember that Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Pangzi, but he was saved by Chen Gong; Cao Cao fled from Luoyang to his hometown of Ai County and would not pass through Yingyang. Why is Chen Gong here? And Chen Gong was the county magistrate when he rescued Cao Cao. Why did he become the main book again? Was it the official who was promoted later? According to this, who will save Cao Cao after his assassination failed? Isn't Cao Heizi dead?"

Li Feng thought about it, but felt a mess in his head. He simply didn't think about it and took Liao Hua to visit Chen Gong.

After many insinuation, the two finally found Chen Gong's home in an inconspicuous alley.

Liao Hua came forward and patted the door.

Not long after, he heard a "who?" A scribe in blue opened the door and frowned at Li Feng and Liao Hua.

The scribe was about 30 years old, with a handsome face and clear eyes, but stared at Li Feng and Liaohua's two strangers at this time, with a wary face.

Li Feng hurriedly explained, "My brother-in-law and I went to Yingchuan. Through Yingyang, I saw the people living and working in peace and contentment; in troubled times, there were such happy places in the world. For a moment, I was curious and couldn't help but inquire about it. Because Chen Gongtai, the two merchants, said that Chen Gongtai, was a sage in the world, so he came to visit and chattered about the trouble. I hope you can forgive me.

After listening to Li Feng's explanation, the scribes saw that their clothes were luxurious and not like bad people, so they invited them into the room.

After entering the house, Li Feng looked around and saw that the house was small and did not look like a tall family. He knew that Chen Gong was poor and definitely not those fat corrupt officials.

The scribe asked the two to sit down and said, "I'm Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai. I don't know what's your business?"

When Li Feng heard the words, he hurriedly replied, "My surname is Li Feng and my name is Zhong De. This is Liao Hua and Liao Yuanjian. This time, the two of us passed through Yingyang. Mr. Wen is talented and has the intention to make friends with him. Please give me some advice."

When Chen Gong saw this, he said, "I'm ashamed to say the word 'teaching'. Brother Zhongde can say it directly if he has something to do." However, when Chen Gong saw Li Feng's words and manners, he was polite and thoughtful, and he couldn't help but feel a good impression and his attitude was even more kind.

Li Feng and Chen Gong talked about ancient and modern times, but the more they talked, the more opinative they became. Unconsciously, the sky was getting late. Seeing this, it was difficult for Li Feng to stay, so he had to say goodbye: "It's getting late. Brother Gongtai also wants to rest, so Li Feng won't disturb you."

Unexpectedly, Chen Gong and Li Feng talked happily. Hearing the words, he left guests and said, "It's hard to walk at night. Why don't you two live in a cold house?" Although the humble house is small, there are still two rooms.

Li Feng was overjoyed when he heard the words, pretended to refuse, and then took the opportunity to stop.

For several days in a row, Li Feng and Liao Hua deliberately made friends with Chen Gong, but the relationship between the three rooms was much closer.

On this day, Li Feng saw that the fire was coming, so he asked Liao Hua to buy good wine and invite Chen Gong to drink together.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Feng pretended to be careless and asked, "With the ability of Gongtai brother, why do you succumb to a small county to be the main book?" In my opinion, with my brother's talent, Sangong Jiuqing is not talking about it.

It doesn't matter, but Chen Gong was sad. He picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and said, "To tell the truth, I'm still a little talented, but Shangguan is mediocre and loves to slap horses. Although I have made contributions, I have never been promoted. I have wasted half my life, and I am just a small master book. Alas, I'm really ashamed to be a teacher!"

Li Feng was overjoyed and quickly wink at Liao Hua. At the same time, he asked Chen Gong, "If, I mean, if a county magistrate is willing to obey his brother, will the public Taiwan brother succumb and go to the county to be an official?"

Liao Hua took out a small silk pocket from the carry-on package and handed it to Li Feng.

Chen Gong was confused by Li Feng's words, but he still honestly replied, "Of course I would like to, but which one of the eunuchs came back to hire me? Brother Zhong De is joking!"

Li Feng didn't say anything, but just handed the red silk pocket in his hand to Chen Gong and motioned him to open it.

Chen Gong was confused by Li Feng. He slowly opened his pocket and saw one seal lying quietly in his pocket. Chen Gong picked up the seal and looked carefully. He only saw five anti-character rules engraved on the seal, "Runan Taishou Zhang".

Chen Gong has been in officialdom for a long time and can naturally identify the authenticity of the official seal. He was shocked at the sight of this seal. For a long time, he looked at Li Feng and said with a wry smile, "Lord Taishou is so hard to hide Chen Gong!" But he understood Li Feng's inexplicable words.

Li Feng smiled and said, "Brother Gongtai should keep his word! Yes, my eldest brother is Zhang Fei, the governor of Runan. Since the public brother has agreed, please condescen. After saying that, he saluted Chen Gong.

Chen Gong returned the salute and smiled bitterly: "Can I say no? Anyway, I'm tired of this main book. Please wait a few more days and let Chen Gong prepare for it.

In this way, Li Feng fooled a great man of the Three Kingdoms and took a step closer to his goal.
