White cliff!
This is a legendary place!
In the entire Liangzhou territory, the only place comparable to the capital Liangzhou is Baiya. Baiya's commerce is developed, its territory is prosperous, its people live and work in peace and contentment, and its military is strong. The most famous one is Baiya War Horse Armor World. There are many cavalrymen in Liangzhou, and most of the war horses come from Baiya.
But people may not believe it... The reason why Baiya is so strong and can compete with Liangzhou is not because of the prefect of Baiya, but because there is a bandit group in Baiya... known as the Baiya Army!
The Baiya Army has three leaders, the most famous of whom is the big leader, Duan Yifeng! This man has extraordinary talents, knows both black and white, and has a wide network of contacts. He was originally a horse dealer, and he gradually grew stronger, recruiting soldiers and horses. Now he owns the largest horse farm in Liangzhou, and has a lot of connections with the military. Precisely because he supplies high-quality war horses to the Liangzhou Army, he can have a private army, which is illegal but reasonable.
More importantly, Duan Yifeng is by no means the kind of person with shallow vision. He not only expands the size of his horse farm, deals with all parties, but is also proficient in business, making Baiya different from other places in Liangzhou that are generally barren. Prosperity and wealth. This also makes the people more supportive of these illegal armed groups than the prefectural government. The Baiya Prefect seemed to have no sense of existence.
So when people talk about Baiya, the first thing that comes to their mind is Duan Yifeng, the tycoon of Liangzhou.
Chen Ping did not dare to touch the tiger's beard.
"That's not true, is it?"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly, feeling a little dizzy.
Zheng Yueru also found it a bit absurd. The Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce has just started, and is it being targeted by the Baiya Army? That's an existence that can easily start with an army of 100,000!
The more they thought about it, the more headaches they got.
If not the White Cliff Army, then who would it be?
Liu Zheng simply didn't think too much about it. Anyway, the soldiers would come to cover up the water and the soil. We would wait until Liangzhou to see everything.
It was another three days, and it was only half a day to arrive in Liangzhou. At this moment, a horse suddenly rode up. It was the clerk of the Zheng family in Liangzhou Hualou. Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He had suspected before that this Zheng The main function of the flower house in the family should be to collect intelligence. At this time, seeing that this guy is so good at horseback riding, he was even more sure.
"Miss!"
"Master Liu!"
"I've met the county magistrate!"
The people who came were very capable and bowed one by one.
Zheng Yueru asked: "Why are you so panicked?"
The man said: "Your Majesty, the Governor of the County, Mr. Chen Ping and Chen, are very angry at Yinzhou's public announcement of revenue and expenditure. He has also appointed a counselor to accuse Yinzhou of seven deadly sins. I will wait for you to report on your duties! Liu Dahao, please Be prepared early!”
Liu Dahao was startled, with an angry look on his face: "This is unreasonable, why am I guilty? This old thief Chen Ping, this old thief..."
Zheng Yueru also looked worried when she heard this. She didn't expect that so many things would happen before she even entered the Liangzhou City Gate. It seems like what Liu Zheng said, Liangzhou at this time is really a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and there are countless monsters and monsters waiting for them.
"Zheng'er, Zheng'er, what should we do? Why don't we go back to Yinzhou? That old thief can't do anything to us!"
Liu Dahao was extremely anxious.
It is said that the first level of officialdom kills people. If Chen Ping really wants to give you some trouble in this matter, he will even skin you without dying!
Liu Zheng smiled coldly: "It seems that these people have indeed been unable to sit still this time."
It can be seen that these days, there are many tricks in these governor's mansions and county marquis mansions. Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver, it is indeed not an exaggeration. Liu Zheng's move, in this era, is like a bomb thrown into a lake, causing ripples that linger for a long time. While bringing Liu Dahao fame, he also offended too many people.
"Brother Liu..."
Zheng Yueru was also very anxious.
It seems that no matter what, Chen Ping is going to give the Liu family and his son a showdown! Even if the foundation of Yinzhou Mansion cannot be touched, Liu Dahao must be severely humiliated!
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and looked calm.
At this time, this group of people had reached the gate of Liangzhou City.
Looking up, Liangzhou is over there.
Enter? retreat?
This leaves little room for consideration.
Going forward, it will be a bigger stage.
If we retreat, we can only retreat to Yinzhou.
He said calmly: "Go in!"
"Zheng'er!"
"Brother Liu!"
Both of them looked pale.
Liu Zheng laughed, looked at Jiang Xuan next to him who had just recovered from his serious injury, and asked: "Xiao Xuanzi, what should we do now?"
Jiang Xuan has been afraid to talk to Liu Zheng these days. He feels guilty. The bottle of Zunhuang pure essence is extremely valuable, but he took it out without hesitation to heal himself. In Zheng Yueru's words, Mr. Liu is strict with you because he has great expectations for you. In fact, he loves you very much. You are like a rat's tail...
Jiang Xuan took a deep breath, cupped his fists and said, "Sir, Jiang Xuan has a plan... just."
Liu Dahao was anxious: "You bastard, what is it? Tell me quickly!"
"Just just..."
Jiang Xuan was sweating profusely and even crying. No matter how Liu Dahao and Zheng Yueru pressed him, he just refused to say anything.
Liu Zheng laughed loudly, glanced at Jiang Xuan, and shouted: "When Duan is constantly being disturbed, when did you become so indecisive? Remember, you won't be like this in the future!"
After saying this, Liu Zheng took out the Liangzhou Prefecture crossbow arrow from his pocket, gritted his teeth, and stabbed it into his chest.
"Zheng'er!"
"Brother Liu!"
Liu Dahao and Zheng Yueru were shocked, wondering why Liu Zheng was acting like this.
It really hurts!
Liu Zheng covered his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "Carry me to Liangzhou Mansion and see how Chen Ping defends me!"
Zheng Yueru's delicate body trembled, her heart ached extremely, and then she realized what Liu Zheng meant. When she looked at Jiang Xuan again, the latter did not dare to raise his head. He just looked at Liu Zheng, with tears already rolling in his eyes.
…
at this time.
Liangzhou Prefecture.
There was a huge crowd, and Chen Ping sat at the top, looking coldly at the group of people below.
Every year, after the Spring Festival, these county princes in Liangzhou will come to Liangzhou Mansion to report their work for the year to the prefect. Due to different distances and ancient traffic conditions, most of these county princes and state princes came to the Liangzhou Prefecture in the early days of the year to report their work for the year. The days from the third to the fifth day of the lunar month come. Today was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. What surprised Chen Ping was that this year, these county officials no longer procrastinated and arrived at Liangzhou Prefecture one day early for the first time.
As for the reason...
"Sir, that Liu Dahao is really hateful. There are many prominent families in Kezhou. When they heard about this, they all came to the table and asked me, Kezhou, to announce the revenue and expenditure. What should I do?"
"Yes! Liu Dahao's wolfish ambition will never be forgiven!"
"If this continues, who will make the decision?"
"Where is the majesty of the county magistrate?"
Among the thirty prefectures and counties in Liangzhou, there were more than twenty prefecture and county princes at this time. They were filled with indignation and heartbroken, and they denounced Liu Dahao's crimes.
Chen Ping looked at him coldly without saying a word.
If you are really innocent, are you still afraid of disclosing your financial revenue and expenditure? I’m afraid I can’t even figure out my own account! But he knows that this is the characteristic of this era. Which county can be so clean?
In the case of natural royal power, they rule the place "on behalf of the king" instead of serving the local idiots! Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. This is a difference in concepts that has been formed since ancient times. So Liu Dahao's actions, in their opinion, were shameless!
Liu Dahao is the outlier!
They are the ones who are reasonable!
This is what these people think at this time.
One can imagine his anger.
"Quiet, quiet!"
The counselor beside Chen Ping shouted.
People then closed their mouths angrily, but it was obvious that they were still very excited and could not calm down.
Chen Ping then chuckled and said: "Everyone, please be patient. Since Liu Dahao became the Marquis of Yinzhou County, he has behaved erratically and acted lawlessly. He changed the law privately and colluded with officials and businessmen. In this year's report, he will inevitably be held accountable by the law!" "
Everyone cheered and celebrated.
However, at this moment, someone came running in panic from outside the door: "My lord, something is not right!"
Chen Ping glared and shouted: "What's the fuss about?"
The man said: "Marquis Liu County has arrived in Liangzhou!"
When everyone heard this, they laughed one after another, waiting to see how good you look. If you don't come, they will really have nothing to do!
Chen Ping also smiled and said: "He's here as soon as he comes, what's the reason to panic? Send him to me quickly and escort him here, so that I can call for justice!"
The servant made a sad face: "He, he is carrying a stretcher and walking slowly..."
Chen Ping was stunned: "What stretcher?"
The others also looked at each other in confusion. What the hell is Liu Dahao up to?
"Sir... then Master Liu, he, he, he walked from the city gate, howling all the way, Liangzhou Prefecture sent assassins to kill his son!"
"What?"
Chen Ping's head was dizzy, and he stood up quickly, almost not stopping, with an angry look on his face: "He is spitting blood, me, when will I assassinate him?"
"Go and see!"
A group of people ran out of Liangzhou Mansion.
As everyone knows, at this time, the gate of Liangzhou City is already bustling with activity.
Zheng Yueru was riding a horse with a calm face, but her fists were secretly clenched. Because Liu Dahao in front was crying so miserably, he deliberately walked in front of the carriage and leaned over Liu Zheng on the stretcher, crying with snot and tears in his voice, with the gentle and miserable tone of Qinchuan's chant. Heartwarming.
"Zheng'er, I'm sorry for you as a father!"
"As a father, I must seek justice for you!"
"I, Liu Dahao, entered a place where there was no rule and worked hard. After a few months, the people returned to their homes and order was in order!"
"I was unexpectedly attacked by an assassin from Liangzhou Prefecture on the way!"
"Where is the law of heaven? Where is the justice?"
Passers-by looked sideways and gathered around.
"Who is this person?"
"Why does it look so familiar?"
"Oh my god, isn't that Liu Dahao, Marquis of Liu County?"
"Then the injured one is Mr. Liu?"
The whole city exploded.
Is it okay now?
Although the former No. 1 Dandy in Liangzhou has only been away for three months, his reputation is still there. Especially the Hualou fans in Liangzhou, when they heard that Mr. Liu was back, they all dressed up and ran to the streets, shouting.
"Enemies!"
"You are back..."
"When Jin Feng Yu Lu meets, he will defeat countless people in the world. Woo woo woo woo, enemy... you are really hurting others!"
All of a sudden, there was the sound of warblers and swallows, and the powder was on my nose.
Zheng Yueru looked confused. She waved her hand to drive away the powder floating in front of her, and looked at Liu Zheng on the stretcher speechlessly.
Is this guy who co-authored it so popular in Liangzhou?
At this moment, a red figure came on horseback.
"Drive!"
"Get out of here, Miss!"
The long riding crop was swung over, and the pink head was knocked aside with a snap.
Everyone was shocked.
Zheng Yueru also looked in shock.
I saw a peerless beauty, looking at Liu Zheng with wet eyes, biting her red lips, and was about to cry.
"You damn ghost, at least there were donkeys in Liliangzhou that day!"
"When you come back today, will you sit on a stretcher?"
"You damn ghost..."
