"People's resentment will always be buried in their bones to cover up their unpreparedness." [婩言]
Zhao Wenwei agreed. He had recently been dedicated to the arrangements entrusted by the emperor, and soon became the emperor's trusted minister after Wang Bin, Yang Qi, and Shi Sunrui. In doing so, he not only obeyed the instructions of his brother, former general Zhao Qian,
In addition to ordering revenge on Wang Yun, he also had plans for himself.
This time Zhang Xi is imprisoned, the Weiwei will definitely be vacated. In addition, the emperor has always been interested in rectifying the imperial army around him, including Bingwei and Langwei. Therefore, the position of Weiwei will definitely be assigned to the emperor's close associates and given great power. This is also
The goal that Zhao Wen has been working hard for.
At this time, a group of people suddenly walked in outside the door, all dressed as low-level officials. The leader was young, wearing a bamboo hat, with a shrewd and cunning look in his eyes.
He stood by the door and glanced around the bakery. When he saw the group of guards, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately took back his steps. Before he could see clearly, there was someone sitting behind the bamboo curtain.
Who was that person? The young man retreated as if he had seen a ghost.
His move immediately shocked the others, and they quickly followed him out. One person asked: "What's wrong with Mr. Ting? Why are you so surprised? But what did you see?"
"You're still asking me? Mr. Li, haven't you noticed the clothes those people inside are wearing?" The young man called Ting Gong asked angrily, as if he had been deceived by the people in front of him; "That's Ru.
Hakama is the military uniform worn by army sergeants when they fight on horseback. Even if they are not soldiers, they are members of a wealthy family. We cannot touch such people, but you lied to me and said that they are a group of unknown outsiders. You are
Are you trying to hurt me on purpose?"
The two people called Ting Gong and Li Jun were the honorific titles of the pavilion chief and Li Zheng respectively. In the Han Dynasty, there was a pavilion every ten miles, and it was called a Xiang Pavilion. There were also pavilions in big cities, which were set up in the city. Those who managed part of the city were called "du".
"Pavilion", the one set up at the city gate is called "gate pavilion", each has a pavilion chief, whose powers are the same as those of the rural pavilion chief, responsible for public security and civil coordination.
This young man's name was Wang Zhong, who was from Fufeng. He once served as the uncle in Yongying under the command of Fufeng Commandery. Later, Dong Zhuo dismissed the Fufeng Commandery and incorporated Yongying into Yongying, and installed his cronies to clean him out. He used
Because of his family connections, he became a traffic pavilion chief in Chang'an City.
This Jiaodaoting is located in the northwest of Chang'an City. It not only manages Xiaoli, Beihuanli and other residential areas, but also manages Jiaodaoting City, Jiaomen City and Xiaoli City among the nine cities in Chang'an. It can be said that it has a humble and powerful position.
Although Wang Zhong likes to take advantage of some merchants on weekdays, he has never deliberately made things difficult for the people in the village. Firstly, these people are already poor, and there is no point in making things difficult. Secondly, Wang Zhong still has a trace of conscience in his heart.
I won't raid them unless I have to.
Normally, he prefers to wander around Jiaomen City with a few pavilions. It is close to the Wei Bridge and has a unique scenery. There are also many merchants who come from the Weishui River to sell goods here. It is a good place to make money.
But today, while he was walking around the city, he was suddenly informed by Bei Huan that a group of unknown outsiders had entered the village!
The chief of the pavilion is responsible for public security. He is responsible for monitoring and registering all strangers in the village. If there is any suspicion, he must be escorted to the government for treatment.
Wang Zhong had to be cautious about the safety of the people in his jurisdiction. You must know that at this time, the north of Chang'an City and other places far away from Weiyang Palace and Xuanping were almost full of bandits. He relied on some force and a group of followers.
The old brothers who had retired from the military camp were in charge of the market. Compared with the northeast of the city where thieves were rampant, the security in the northwest of the city was relatively good.
So when he heard that foreigners had entered his area, Wang Zhong subconsciously thought they were thieves on the run. However, when he went to the scene and took a look, he found that the situation was completely different from what Li Zheng said.
He didn't see the thieves in his impression, but he saw a group of dignitaries. He rushed in so rashly, and he didn't know if he had violated any taboos. If it affected his official career, it would be more than worth the gain. At this moment, he felt frightened and uneasy.
, and was humiliated again.
No matter whether Li was deliberately deceiving him or not, he had lost such a big face this time and he had to make him look good afterwards! If he was not dealt with, how would the people in these seven miles and three cities laugh at him in the future?
"Why are you gathering here and making noise?" A cold voice came from behind Wang Zhong, but it was Zhang Liao who noticed the commotion here, so he sent his brother Zhang Fan to investigate.
Wang Zhong gave Li Zheng a sharp look, and said condescendingly to Zhang Fan: "I am the chief of the Jiaodao Pavilion. I heard that your lords are visiting Beihuanli, so I came here to see you. If you disturb your lord's interest, I will
Don’t be surprised if you retreat now.”
Zhang Fan glanced at Wang Zhong suspiciously, as if he was sizing up a soldier suspected of spying on military intelligence.
Wang Zhong was irritated by his look, and his face suddenly became ugly. He couldn't get angry for a while. The bakery owner ran out to rescue Wang Zhong in time, panting slightly, and said with surprise: "It turns out
It's Mr. Ting! What kind of happy event happened today, so that Mr. Ting came to the villain's shop? "
"Do you know him?" Zhang Fan said to the boss.
"Yes, he is the director of our Jiao Dao Pavilion. He usually relies on the pavilion to take care of him, so that we can avoid the suffering of thieves." The boss saw that there might be a misunderstanding and came forward to defend Wang Zhong.
Zhang Fan was a cautious person, but he had no idea at this time, and said in a deep voice, "When I go back to report, you will wait here for now, and you are not allowed to leave without permission."
Wang Zhong's face turned red at the man's contemptuous tone, and he just wanted to knock him to the ground with a punch. No matter how much he was, he was just a guard, but he dared to bully himself, the chief of the pavilion. He remembered that he was
When Yongying was Du Bo, he was the only one who bullied others. How could it be others' turn to bully him?
The soldiers behind him were also very angry. When they followed Wang Zhong in Yongying, which one of them was not a captain or corps commander? How could they stand the insults of a guard?
"Brother, this man is really impudent!"
Li Zheng suddenly interjected: "Mr. Ting, this person is just a small bodyguard, but he dares to be disrespectful to you. Do you want me to go in and deal with them? I think there are not many of them. As long as we find a few more people, we can make it happen later."
Robbed by thieves..."
These words made everyone feel excited, and they all felt that this method was very feasible. The group of people were dressed luxuriously and must have a lot of property with them. If the matter was completed, there would be a lot of benefits. At worst, they would become bandits or run away to other places.
It is better to make a living as a soldier somewhere than to hang around as a pawn here all day long.
Everyone was ready to make a move, and some of the impatient ones started to roll up their sleeves. The bakery owner looked on with shock and fear, and his legs were weak from fear.
"Silence!" Seeing the guards behind him being provoked by Li Zheng's few words, Wang Zhong felt angry. It was already this time. How could he not know that Li Zheng was determined to harm him? A seemingly ordinary guard.
They were all wearing armor, so the people sitting here were definitely not ordinary members of the family. Moreover, the guards were all capable, and they were obviously veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time. If there was a conflict, I would definitely not be able to take advantage of it.
Wang Zhong couldn't watch people like him go to the road of death, and shouted: "These people are elite soldiers in the army, we can't afford to offend them. Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your family?"
Those people knew that they had been too impulsive just now. After hearing Wang Zhong's words, they all fell silent and no longer mentioned the matter of regaining the place. After Wang Zhong stabilized his men, he wanted to find Li Zheng in the crowd.
, but how could Li Zheng still be seen at this moment? Wang Zhong was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and he felt faintly that something was not good in his heart.
He was about to leave, but he didn't expect that Zhang Fan left and returned at this time and said to Wang Zhong: "Chief of the Jiaodao Pavilion, you are in luck. My young master wants to see you."
Wang Zhong took a deep breath, calmed down, turned around and hugged his fists with his men, and then walked into the cake shop. He did not enter the private room behind the bamboo curtain, but was only taken to stand in front of the bamboo curtain.
Wang Zhong didn't know the identity of the person inside, so he neither knelt nor stood, but simply gave a military salute: "Young Wang Zhong, as the chief of the pavilion, I don't know which noble family is inside the curtain. If there is a collision,
I also hope Haihan."
Zhang Liao was about to scold Wang Zhong for his rudeness, but was suddenly interrupted by a young voice from behind the curtain, his tone filled with inexplicable surprise and excitement: "What? You said your name is Huang Zhong?"
Wang Zhong was a general of the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. He was a native of Fufeng. He was the chief of the pavilion in his youth. During the chaos in Guanzhong, he ate people for food due to hunger and fled south to Wuguan. Later he defected to Cao Cao, became an official and worshiped General Zhonglang, and followed him on the expedition.
