Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 626

Chapter 626 Zhou bream breaks hair

In April of the sixth year of Jianxing, Lu Xun, the governor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, returned to Jianye by water, and at the same time inspected the counties and counties along the way.

Traveling to Chaisang, officials from all over the country came to pay homage. Only Zhou Bing, the prefect of Poyang County, sent someone to tell that although the bandit commander Peng Qi was captured last year, there were still remnants who raised his banner against him.

When Lu Xun learned of this, he rushed from Chaisang to Poyang County to see the military situation.

When they arrived in Pengze County, someone secretly reported to Lu Xun, saying that Zhou Bream did not go to encircle and suppress the rioters at all, but thought that the journey to Chaisang was too far away, and he didn't want to flatter Lu Xun, so he resorted to the riots.

Lu Xun doubted but didn't believe it, but after entering Poyang County, he kept an extra mind and deliberately understood the people's conditions in various places in Poyang County.

Lu Xun originally didn't mind whether Zhou Bream came to Chaisang to see him, but under his deliberate understanding, he was furious when he learned that Zhou Bream had privately planted sugarcane with the new land reclaimed the year before.

The year before last, due to the prolonged war, the people left the farms, and father and son couples were often separated. Therefore, he wrote to Sun Quan, the king of Wu, to order the generals to increase the number of acres.

At the same time, this is also the beginning of the official farming of Wu State.

The king not only agreed to his proposal, but even took over the fields himself, and changed the eight oxen driving the cart to four oxen, to show that he was equal to everyone.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than two years, and Zhou bream not only dared to occupy the farmland privately, but even used it for other purposes.

Seeing his hard work being ruined like this, why didn't it make Lu Xun furious?

He immediately summoned Zhou Bream, and sternly reprimanded them in public, "A dog knows how to protect the family, but it is as greedy as you, and it is worse than a dog if you don't want to enrich yourself!"

Not only ordered Zhou Bing to return to the invaded farmland, but at the same time, his anger was still there, and he repeatedly said that he would read a copy of it in front of the King of Wu.

Zhou Brem was scolded a lot, and Lu Xun took advantage of him. He didn't dare to refute, sweated on the ground, and kept begging for mercy.

Finally, Lu Xun let Zhou Bingtong go because of his origin in Wu County, so he let him go.

Losing all face in front of his colleagues in Poyang County, Zhou Bream was ashamed and ashamed.

After returning to the mansion, a servant brought the food. He took a bite and felt that the food was not tasty, so he threw the chopsticks and cursed, "You slaves dare to bully me!"

He was already very angry with Lu Xun, and felt that his colleagues would inevitably use this matter to ridicule him in the future.

Now that he returned to his house, he felt that the food was much worse than before, so he became furious immediately, ordered the cook to be tied up, and beat him with a leather whip until he was beaten to pieces before he would stop.

After the fight, Zhou Bing scolded Lu Xun in his own house again: "It's just because I am the son-in-law of the Sun family. If you are so arrogant, I will call you good-looking one day sooner or later!"

The cook got an accident and felt resentment in his heart. He escaped from the mansion at night, followed Lu Xun all the way east, and told him exactly what Zhou Dory had said.

When Lu Xun heard about it, he was so angry that he almost smoked. After returning to Jianye, he told Wu Lord Sun Quan all about Zhou Bream's actions in Poyang County.

Sun Quan sent his son-in-law to Poyang to question all the affairs of Poyang County.

On this day, Zhou Bream was drinking in the mansion when he saw Bu Qu rushing in, shouting loudly, "General, it's not good. Your Majesty sent Shang Shulang over, saying that he wanted to investigate the fields."

Zhou Bing heard the words, dropped the earcup in his hand, his face turned pale, "It came so fast!"

Then he suddenly remembered something, and said angrily, "Lu Xun Zhuzi, didn't you say you won't pursue this matter? You turned your back on your promise, and you're not the Son of Man!"

No matter how Zhou Bing scolded Lu Xun, the Lang Guan sent by Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, was already rushing straight to the Poyang Prefect's Mansion without stopping.

Before Zhou Brem had time to prepare, Jianye had already ordered Jianye to move all the books of the fields in the prefect's mansion with the warrant of the King of Wu, and had them all moved out and counted in public.

At the same time, they dispatched manpower to conduct on-the-spot investigations of the acres of land in each county.

The matter of Tianmu has not been investigated yet, and the second group of Lang officials from Jianye came to inquire about the people's conditions in various counties.

After two days of waiting, the third Langguan arrived again...

For a while, Poyang County was flying like dogs and dogs, and everyone was in danger.

Zhou Bing knew that these officials were obviously coming for him, so he stayed at his house these days and didn't dare to go anywhere.

Although no one restricts his freedom, he feels that he is already a prisoner who has been captured and imprisoned.

Because Lang Guan would come to his house at any time and question all kinds of things.

Although these officials would not do anything to him before the king of Wu convicted him, their lofty demeanor and sneering eyes had already made everyone in the Zhou mansion panic.

At this time, Han Zong, who took his mother and his family to the north the year before last, rescued him.

Han Zong, the son of Han Dang, sent his servants, concubines, relatives and sisters to the generals the year before last, and then led thousands of songs to the north, and was named Guangyang Hou by Cao Wei.

For more than a year, Han Zong showed his loyalty, relying on his familiarity with the distribution of Wu's population and military force, he repeatedly violated Wu's territory and killed the officials and people of Eastern Wu, making Sun Quan often gnash his teeth.

Just when Jianye kept sending Lang officials to investigate Poyang, Han Zong once again led his army to invade Lujiang County.

Zhou Bing was refreshed when he heard the news.

After thinking about it, he finally stepped out of the mansion for the first time.

Although no one stopped him from leaving the mansion, he knew very well that at this moment, many eyes were staring at him.

Those gazes were not just staring at his face, staring at his back, but staring directly at his heart, which made him feel extremely heavy.

Under burning eyes, he finally came to the gate of Poyang County Mansion.

First glanced to the left, then to the right, then tentatively entered the gate, took only two or three steps, and stopped again, as if he no longer had the strength to lift his legs.

Although he is still the prefect in name, the master of the prefect's mansion, but at this moment he is actually looking inside a little timidly, as if he doesn't know what to do.

"Hey, isn't this Zhou Taishou? What? Finally free to come to duty today?"

A sharp-eyed Lang Guan saw Zhou Dory standing at the gate, and greeted him with a smirk, "I'm sorry, Governor Zhou, I guess you will stay at your home for a few days, and the affairs of the prefect's mansion are still waiting for you." It's not over yet."

Hearing this, Zhou Bing finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and pulled out a dagger.

Lang Guan was so frightened that he quickly backed away and exclaimed, "What do you want to do, Zhou Bing?"

Zhou Bing didn't answer, raised his dagger, and cut himself on the head, cutting off a lot of hair.

I saw Zhou Bream holding a dagger in one hand, clutching his hair in the other, with a sad face, "Masters, since a certain self-proclaimed filial piety, he has successively served as county magistrate, general commander Shi, and western captain, beheaded Peng Shi, and captured Peng Qi. With credit, there is also hard work.”

"However, once you offend a villain, and you are bullied like this, I really can't bear the humiliation! But please report back to the king of Wu, the matter of Tianmu is indeed a moment of confusion, but the king of Wu has a punishment, and the bream is willing to plead guilty."

"Just for the sake of being officials in the same dynasty, please don't humiliate Yu like this again. If a villain can humiliate me today, how can you know that you can't humiliate me in the future?"

"Four years ago, Ji Yan devoted herself to personal love and hate, and did not act according to reason, and dismissed many officials. If someone hadn't risen to resist, how many of you would stand here?"

"The same is true today. If you allow the villain to deceive the king, you will not stop it, but will help the tyrant to abuse you. In the future, you will know that the Zhou bream matter will not fall on your head? Who will speak for you then?"

Zhou Bing's sad and indignant words shocked the officials who wanted to see a joke.

They are either the descendants of veteran heroes of the Sun family, or they are from Jiangdong aristocratic families. In their view, occupying some land is really not a big deal.

Whose family is not full of fertile land?

Which family is not full of slaves?

How did the fertile land come about?

How did the servants come here?

If it was really because of this matter that he was so heavily bullied, it would be a bit too much.

"Now that the Cao bandits are invading the Lujiang River, Poyang across the river, instead of being able to help, will fall into chaos by itself.

"I also ask you to put the country's major affairs first, and don't let the officials and people of Poyang County panic because of Zhou Bing's fault."

Zhou Bing was overjoyed when he saw that the officials were silent, and added fuel to his anger, and then gave them a deep salute.

Seeing Zhou Bing's unremitting apology, and hearing his words, and these days, it is true that Zhou Bing's other illegal activities have not been found out, and the officials felt a little sympathetic in their hearts.

In the following days, they relaxed a little bit towards Zhou Dory, and at the same time, some people returned to Jianye by boat and reported to King Wu.

At the same time, in a certain village in Lujiang County, the robbers from the north had just left.

Smoke lingered over the village. It wasn't the smoke coming out of the chimneys from the women cooking dinner, but the thick smoke from the fire, with the smell of burnt human flesh, which was pungent and unpleasant.

The peaceful village in the past has become dilapidated and desolate, only the ruined walls that have been burned black, implying that there were people living here before.

I don't know whose wall it was that collapsed, and whose house was burnt black. Which family's roof beams might the scorched wood be?

It was clear that the sky was clear, but when a gust of wind blew up, it raised up bursts of dust, and it seemed that it suddenly became dark and gloomy.

Han Zong leads the series and is retreating to the north.

Many of them were riding horses, with women straddling them in front of and behind them.

Some people even put their hands into the skirt of the woman's clothes, with an indescribable smile on their faces.

Every woman on horseback is disheveled, with wet tears on her face, and numb eyes, like a lifeless walking corpse.

Everyone in Cao Jun was carrying baggage, which was full of gold and silver, which was the harvest of the plundering going south these days.

In the past, in Soochow, at most, they robbed business travelers secretly and secretly, and they still had to worry about being found out about their true identity. How can they rob openly like they are now?

After confirming that Wu Jun did not catch up, Han Zong ordered to bury the pot and make a meal, and was ready to go on his way when he was full.

"Jun Hou, caught a spy!"

The scouts scattered around on guard brought a person over to report.

"Oh?" Han Zong glanced over with ruthless eyes, and said calmly, "Just kill it directly, why bring it here?"

"Report to Junhou, he said that he has something very important, and he wants to talk to Junhou face to face."

Han Zong looked straight at the plain-faced eunuch, waved his hand to let the scout go down, and then pressed his sword and asked, "Who are you?"

Xi Zuo, who had been silent all this time, glanced at the people around Han Zong, then lowered his head again.

Han Zong's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at a school lieutenant beside him.

The lieutenant nodded slightly, and Han Zong dispersed his people further away so that they could not hear the conversation.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

Xizaku looked at the captain next to him again.

Han Zong didn't have such a good temper this time, he drew out his sword with a "clang", pointed at Xi Zuo, and shouted sharply, "How dare you play tricks! Do you think I really can't kill you?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and was about to stab him with a sword.

Xizuo saw that Han Zong's sword didn't seem to be fake, so he quickly said, "General Han, the villain has something important to do, so I can only talk to the general."

Han Zong's sword drew a thin red line on Sezuo's neck, only to hear him sneer, "I have nothing to say to others, tell me quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Sesaku moved his lips, then closed his eyes and remained silent.

Han Zong exerted more force on his hand, and the bright red blood began to flow onto the sword, but the meticulous worker remained motionless.

Han Zong looked at the captain next to him with a questioning look.

The lieutenant nodded again, turned and left.

"Okay, you can talk."

Xiao Zuo opened his eyes and made sure that no one around could hear their conversation, and then he asked, "Does General Han remember General Zhou Bing?"

"Zhou Bream?" Han Zong frowned slightly, "Of course I remember, maybe you were sent by Zhou Bream?"

He took refuge in Cao Wei, and in order to show his loyalty, he even took the initiative to lead troops south to plunder Soochow. Naturally, he didn't want to have any contact with people in Jiangdong.

"If Zhou Bream sent you to persuade me, then it was a wrong idea. No way, I will borrow your head to use it."

Han Zong said with a sinister smile, but the hand holding the sword became more and more forceful.

Hearing this, Xizuo showed a sneer on his face, "The villain hasn't explained his purpose yet, and General Han made wild guesses, isn't he afraid that he will be a villain in vain?"

When Han Zong heard this, his anger rushed straight from the bottom of his feet to the top door, his eyes glowed red, and he couldn't hold back the rage, so he wanted to kill the guy in front of him who dared to mock him!

It's just that he knows that there are still people watching from afar. If he kills this person like this, some things may not be explained clearly.

At this moment, he had no choice but to forcefully resist the urge to twist Sizuo's neck, and gritted his teeth, "Then let you explain why you came here first, and if you can't say one, two, three, then I'll see how I cut off your tongue!"

Xizuo then cupped his hands, "Then please listen to the villain's words, General: General Zhou wants to learn from General and return to the north, please be an introducer."

Xizuo's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder, rumbling Han Zong's ears.

"What did you say?"

Han Zong couldn't believe his ears, and asked again.

The voice was so loud that the captain in the distance couldn't help but look sideways.

Han Zong's second reaction was disbelief: "As a prefect of a county, Zhou Bing has long made military exploits. Besides, his ancestral home is in Wu County. How could he come here as a traitor? Could it be that you are lying to me? ?”

Xizuo sneered, "General Han attacked the title of old general Han. His future is limitless. Why did he suddenly vote for the North?"

This sentence simply lifted Han Zong's scars, and then poured salt on it.

I saw that his face immediately flushed red, his teeth were gritted, and he wished to poke a transparent hole in the sharp-toothed creature in front of him!

"Sun Quan can't tolerate others, how can I wait to die?"

This was originally his excuse, but Xi Zuo nodded in agreement, "This is the truth! Sun Quan is narrow-minded, and if he violated the slightest, he would like to be executed."

"General Zhou made a small mistake a few days ago, and Sun Quanlian sent officials to question him, forcing General Zhou to apologize in public, so he escaped by luck."

"Now General Zhou has lost face in Jiangdong and has become the laughing stock of everyone. Although there is a lot of sorrow and hatred, it is not enough to explain the resentment in General Zhou's heart. Therefore, General Zhou wants to raise the county and surrender. I hope General Han will see it in the eyes of his former colleagues. On the face of affection, I will introduce you."

Han Zong heard that the other party actually scolded Sun Quan, and he couldn't help feeling a little confidant in his heart.

Then when he heard about Zhou Bing again, although he didn't believe it immediately, he felt a surge of joy in his heart: It's the best thing for Sun Quan to betray his relatives, which shows that his choice is right.

"How do I know you weren't sent by Zhou Bing to pretend to surrender?"

After listening carefully, he grinned and gnashed his teeth on the spot, pointing at Han Zong and sternly saying, "Your body is hair and skin, and you got it from your parents. General Zhou was forced to cut his hair in public by Sun Quan. Is it fake?"

"I'm afraid everyone in Jiangdong is about to know about this matter. If you don't believe it, go ask yourself and you will know the truth!"
