Not long after, Wen Pin called some of the original officials in Shucheng over.

There were not many officials in Shucheng, but most of them were middle-aged people. Three or five gathered together. Some lowered their heads and spoke in a slight manner, while some stood beside them and shivered, and they did not dare to look directly at Liu Zheng. There was only the leading middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe, standing in front, looking at Liu Zheng calmly.

This person aroused Liu Zheng's curiosity.

"Are you the magistrate of Shu County?"

When Liu Zheng saw this literati so courageous and full of energy, he was not as afraid of Liu Zheng as others, so he took the initiative to ask this person, thinking that the other party was the county magistrate of Shu County.

After all, in the small county town of Shu County, the largest official is the county magistrate.

"Report to my sir, I am not the county magistrate here."

The leader answered Liu Zheng calmly, with a calm tone. He did not feel anything afraid because of Liu Zheng's inquiry and communication with Liu Zheng face to face.

If he answered, there was no trouble at all. This made Liu Zheng more and more interested. Ordinary people were afraid that even the county magistrate of a normal small county town would not be afraid when they saw Liu Zheng, a traitor who was famous in the Han Dynasty. The timid people were probably scared to their legs.

"Interesting, where is the county magistrate?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"The county magistrate fled to Lujiang as early as when Yuan Shu's men attacked Shu County. Now, the few people left here are just small officials in the original county town. Other officials moved their families to Lujiang."

"Oh, so that's it, then why don't you escape?"

"I was not an official from Shu County, why did I escape?"

Not only was the man not afraid of Liu Zheng, but he became more and more confident when he spoke. Seeing Liu Zheng asking, he became bolder and actually asked Liu Zheng back.

"If you don't run away, aren't you afraid that Yuan Shu will kill you?"

"Why did Yuan Shu kill me? He was not as good as he could to flatter me."

Middle-aged people are a bit proud.

This time, it came to Liu Zheng's heart, which made Liu Zheng become more and more curious about the person in front of him.

"Oh, then tell me why Yuan Shu still cursed you?"

"I was originally the Luoyang ruling of the court, my father was also the Grand Marshal of the court, and my brother was also the Grand Marshal of the court. What's the fear of the Yuan family? Even if I don't mention this, my Zhou family and the Yuan family are old friends, and then Yuan Shu also has some friendship with me. Even if Yuan Shu occupied Shucheng, he would not harm me with these friendships."

The middle-aged man counted his family background, which made Liu Zheng even more curious.

The little man in front of him who seemed to be unknown actually has such a deep background. He is probably not much smaller than the title of the Yuan family's three generations of the fourth generation.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Yi."

"Zhou Yi?"

When Liu Zheng heard the name of this person, he was stunned and frowned. Some people didn't think about who this person was.

Is there a man named Zhou Yi in the history of the Three Kingdoms?

Liu Zheng remembers a lot of people with the surname Zhou, such as Zhou Cang and Zhou Tai, his subordinates.

But this one is called Zhou Yi, and Liu Zheng really has no impression of it.

"You said your family and the Yuan family are family friends? What's going on?"

The middle-aged man didn't know why Liu Zheng was interested in this matter, but since Liu Zheng asked, he didn't hide anything, so he simply started talking to Liu Zheng.

It turned out that Zhou Yi's ancestor, the great-grandfather, was once summoned as an aide by Yuan An, who was the Sikong at the time. Yuan An was the founder of the Yuan family in Runan.

The Yuan family's four generations and three ministers started with Yuan An. The Zhou family has always been with the Yuan family for generations, and has always maintained a good relationship.

Although Zhou Yi and Yuan Shu are not particularly familiar with each other in this era, Zhou Yi has been in Luoyang for several years. In addition, the power of the Zhou family has not yet fallen behind and is also the target of the Yuan family's win over, so Zhou Yi stayed in Shucheng and would not be disturbed by Yuan Shu.

Not only will he not be disturbed by Yuan Shu, but after Yuan Shu occupied Shucheng, he also took the initiative to visit him and asked Zhou Yi, the former Luoyang Order, to temporarily preside over Shucheng's internal affairs.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Zheng's people mistakenly thought that he was the county magistrate of Shucheng and was arrested.

"So your family has so much involvement with that guy Yuan Shu."

After listening to Zhou Yi's description, Liu Zheng nodded in his heart. This is normal. After all, there was not a large population in ancient times, and the aristocratic system was serious. Communication between the upper class was limited to one circle.

It is difficult for ordinary people to climb to a high place, and these former senior officials will always control power, and then increase contact through marriage, so that those in power will basically not experience family decline.

The most interesting thing is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period hundreds of years ago.

It seems to be a melee between several countries and a war of hundreds of thousands of people. But if you think about it carefully, it is just a family matter.

"Since you are Yuan Shu's friend and have been a Luoyang ruling, then this..."

Liu Zheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him carefully, but he was thinking in his heart, no wonder this guy was not afraid of seeing him. It turned out that he was a person who had seen many storms and had been a Luoyang ruling, so he would not be scared by such things.

"Let me go! I want to see my dad, you can let me go!"

Just as Liu Zheng spoke politely to Zhou Yi, and before he could finish his words, a young and tender voice came from outside the house next to him.

Liu Zheng was disturbed by this voice. Before he could speak, Zhou Yi in front of him looked dark. He hurriedly poked his head and looked out the room.

When I saw the boy outside, my face suddenly darkened.

"Yuer, why are you here, what are you doing here?"

"Yu'er?"

Liu Zheng followed Zhou Yi's gaze and looked out the house.

Several soldiers were surrounding a boy. The boy held a sword and confronted the soldiers. However, because of his height and age, he was no match for these soldiers. He was suppressed in a few strokes, and then the sword was knocked down and he could only be captured by mistake.

Just when the soldiers were about to capture the young man, Liu Zheng spoke.

"Stop and bring that kid here."

Liu Zheng's words made Zhou Yi's face look better for the time being.

After seeing his son being brought over, he hurriedly went up to hold the boy's head and protected him in front of him.
