In Anyi City, Zhang Deyao rode in a chariot and slowly approached the city gate surrounded by hundreds of horsemen.

"Xiaguan Hedong County guards Zhou Yangyou, leads the ministers of civil and military affairs of the whole army, and welcomes the angels!" As soon as Zhou Yangyou, the governor of Hedong County, saw Zhang De's honor guard appear, he immediately brought dozens of officials and wealthy merchants and landlords in the county to greet him, bowed and saluted, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

When Zhang De saw this situation, his heart was very happy.

It is unthinkable to make a county guard bow to him, compliment him, and slap him.

"The angel has been traveling all the way, and the lower officials have prepared a banquet to wash the dust for the angel, and asked the angel to move to Hedong County to guard the yamen......" Zhou Yangyou barely held back the nausea and nausea in his heart, forced himself to smile on his face, and stammered.

You must know that in the minds of literati, doctors, and aristocratic ministers, eunuchs belong to the lowest, lowest and most untouchable group.

At this time, the palace punishment was inferior to the punishment of beheading and Ling Chi, and even higher than the death penalty.

When Zhou Yang was a Lang official in Chang'an, he dealt with a eunuch and had physical contact, so he put his hand into the canal water in front of the eunuch and washed it for half an hour, and the eunuch was so ashamed of him that he committed suicide after going back.

The fault is that Zhou Yangyou now has a ghost in his heart, otherwise, Zhang De doesn't say that he came with a festival, even if the emperor is in front of him, Zhou Yangyou dares to give Zhang De's small shoes to wear.

Literati, doctors, officials, nobles, and eunuchs, that is the political zhì correct!

But now, for the sake of his life, Zhou Yangyou has to smile all over his face. The contrast of stammering a eunuch made Zhou Yangyou feel very uncomfortable!

But his stammer. But it seems to have been in vain.

He only heard that the eunuch standing on the chariot and holding the Son of Heaven Day laughed at him twice, and said: "I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to come to Hedong to supervise the case of the fire in Gencang and the perversion of the law in Dayang County, for the sake of justice. Zhou Yang's good intentions, I can only understand it! ”

Although Zhang De was very satisfied with Zhou Yangyou's attitude, now all his thoughts and attention were focused on fighting for the vacancy of the eunuch order.

Who wants to call himself a slave for the rest of his life. Even after death, you can only be wrapped in a straw mat, and you don't even have a tombstone?

Anyway. Zhang De himself is very reluctant!

"It became a eunuch's order. I will be able to list the clan openly, and I can also open a clan and inherit the incense, even if I die, I may even be awarded by the imperial court......" At this time, Zhang De was full of fantasies about his bright future after becoming a eunuch.

If he can mix a nickname after death, he will be virtuous, and he will not live in vain in this life.

And this is the lifelong pursuit of all eunuchs.

Compare it to. The other qiē are as insignificant as floating clouds.

Thereupon. Zhang De didn't even see the boxes full of all kinds of wealth behind Zhou Yangyou and the others, he put on a straight face and asked, "Hedong County Magistrate Shi, where is the post supervisor?" ”

Han system, Changshi is the head of the county guard adjutant, responsible for sorting out the county's official documents, managing large and small staff, assisting the county guard and the county lieutenant to deal with the county's military and political affairs, with a rank ratio of 1,000 stones, and is the second only important minister in the county to the county lieutenant.

The superintendent is responsible for supervising the work of the county magistrates and county governors in the counties under the jurisdiction of the county, and inspecting the security and warehousing correspondence of the counties.

As soon as he arrived in Anyi, he summoned these two people, and the posture he put on was to do official business, leaving no room for personal affection and conversion.

Immediately, Zhou Yang was blackened by the old face.

Zhang De took out a silk book from his arms without turning a blind eye, which was the list of officials of Hedong County copied from the documents of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang De looked at it, cleared his throat, and asked again: "Changshi Wenxin, where is Li Ke, the post supervisor?" ”

The audience was silent.

Zhang De immediately felt that he had been slapped in the face, and his face was hot and painful.

He was furious and shouted: "Changshi Wenxin, Supervisor Li Ke, where are these two people?" Dead? ”

"Do you have to invite the Son of Heaven?" As he spoke, he made a gesture to invite the Son of Heaven Festival.

This time, Zhou Yangyou finally replied out loud: "The angel's eyes are like torches, the lower officials admire, the angel returns, Changshi Wenxin, the post supervisor Li Ke, Sima Zhang'an, these three people, repeatedly violated the law of the country, accepted bribes, bent the law and disrupted the government, played favoritism, and committed suicide the day before yesterday...... The subordinate officials are not strict, and there is a lack of discipline, and the angel is also asked to punish the sin......"

Zhang De looked at Zhou Yang's face that was as calm as a lake at the moment.

Even he finally knew that the problem of Hedong County was very strict.

Changshi, Sima, and Governor Post are all giants of a county, and in some counties, if the county guard is a little weaker, they will even be overtaken by these three giants.

However, in Hedong County, these three Qianshi officers, who were second only to the county guard and the county lieutenant, committed suicide in fear of crime.

It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, Zhang De doesn't believe it anyway!

Not only did he not believe it, but he was deeply suspicious.

Whether the three giants in a county can be forced to 'commit suicide' actively or passively, it can only show one thing - the situation in Hedong is far more complicated than imagined, once the lid is lifted, maybe the person who lifts the lid will be burned!

Zhou Yangyou looked at Zhang De, who was still majestic a moment ago, but was silent and hesitant at this time, and sneered in his heart: "Do you have the courage to continue to investigate?" ”

After returning to Anyi, Zhou Yangyou arranged to deal with Wenxin and others on the one hand, and began to think of a solution, and finally made him think of this method, which is not a solution.

If the imperial court wants to investigate the matter of Gencang and the matter of chasing Dayang County, then investigate it!

It's just that now the princes of Kwantung are ready to move, and the imperial court has even sent a general in Xingyang to supervise Qi and Zhaobing.

What's more, Zhou Yangyou now has no worries.

His cousin, Liu An, the king of Huainan, sent him a letter the day before yesterday and asked him to discuss important matters together.

What's the big deal?

Of course, it is to avenge his father and overthrow the Son of Heaven in Chang'an!

If Chang'an Tianzi and Liu De are more aggressive. Don't blame him for turning his face ruthlessly and making noise in Hedong!

In Zhou Yangyou's opinion, if the people of the imperial court dig up the dark side of Hedong again, dig it like this. When the time comes, the top and bottom of the Hedong officialdom will inevitably unite under the banner of his county guard.

When the time comes, the whole county will be united, the officials and gentry will be united as one, and it will not be impossible to bring in the Huainan army as foreign aid!

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you can't do anything. He could also abscond from Huainan, and then flee from Huainan to Wuchu or Xiongnu.

Zhang De was really entangled at this time.

Looking at Zhou Yangyou, he snorted coldly: "Zhou Yang is too guarded." You're too bold! ”

Three thousand stones! Say it's dead, it's dead!

Who deceived a suicide in the name of suicide?

But looking at the silent officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the soldiers at the head of Anyi City, Zhang De's courage was suddenly discharged.

After all, he was just a eunuch, and this was his first time on a mission. Where is the courage and guts to deal with this kind of thing?

"The lower officials don't dare to ......," Zhou Yang said lightly.

Originally, he was still a little hesitant. I was a little afraid, after all, the emperor of the Han family had accumulated prestige for a long time, and the people's hearts were attached, so he rashly followed his cousin Liu An, the king of Huainan, to rebel, and he may have been disarmed by the officials guarding the yamen in his county before he had time to raise the flag.

But now, when he saw the horror and suspicion on Zhang De's face. The original fear and fear of imperial power in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"That's it......" Zhou Yangyou seemed to have a devil in his heart and sighed: "The slave is like this, how strong can the master be?!" ”

Zhou Yangyou at this time. It's no longer the Zhou Yangyou from before.

The county lieutenant Shentu went to Xingyang, and the remaining henchmen and cronies were also swept away by him, and the rest were all kittens and dogs, which was not a problem, and the power in the county was in his hands, and the real power was monopolized.

In other words, he already has the capital to jump over the wall.

And when people have a guard of honor, and after breaking the fear in their hearts, their ambitions swell rapidly.

Back then, Xiang Yu saw Qin Shi Huang traveling, and said directly: "I can replace him!" ”

At that time, Xiang Yu had no soldiers and no power, he was just an old nobleman of the Chu State, why did he dare to have such a big rebellious idea and dare to announce it to the public?

Without it, there is no fear in the heart.

………………………………………………

Pingyang County, in the Pingyang Hou Mansion, Yuan Ang is living a drunken dream of death, several delicate beauties hammer his back, melodious music, listen to the ears, this day, don't be too comfortable.

At this time, one of his relatives quietly came to his side, whispered a few words, Yuan An's face immediately became stern, waved his hand to make the maid and the musician retreat, and asked, "Really?" ”

"No!" The pro replied, "It's confirmed!" ”

"What an idiot!" Yuan Ang immediately stood up and cursed in his mouth: "How can the Liu family be a threatened person?" ”

"Emperor Gao can even share the meat of Emperor Taishang with Xiang Yu......" Yuan Ang muttered: "Isn't this forcing the Liu family to kill you?" ”

Back then, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, Emperor Gao's biological father Liu Bang's biological father Liu Taigong was obtained by Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu thought he had won the trump card, and forced Emperor Gao's life to try to force Emperor Gao to submit, where do you know, hooligans have culture, no one can stop them, Xiang Yu said that he wanted to cook Taigong, Liu Bang backhanded a sentence 'Please share a bowl for me ......', Xiang Yu was immediately choked and speechless.

Since then, anyone who wants to threaten the Liu family must think about it, for the sake of the Liu family, even his father's life can be wanted, and his wife can be abandoned casually, how can he be threatened casually?

But things are undoubtedly getting bigger, and he must rush there immediately to help clean up the mess!

So he said to the Pingyang Hou family who were waiting left and right: "Please pay tribute to your family order on my behalf, thank you for your hospitality, I am grateful, but I have important things to deal with at this moment, so I won't bother anymore......"

Both left and right said: "Si Gong, please go slowly, my young master and family order have been ordered, Si Gong comes to my Pingyang, you can ...... as you like your own home"

Yuan Ang laughed, this is indeed the proudest thing in his life.

No matter where he goes, even if it is the land of Jingchu barbarians, the country outside Rongdihua, he can also have a place to stay. (To be continued......)
