Chapter 366 The shocked three people and Gan Sis confusion
In Shanwu City, a carriage used by officials of the Qin State drove slowly to the city gate, followed by another carriage.
When the Qin officials guarding the city gate saw this, although they knew that the people in the carriage should be Qin officials, for the sake of safety, they still stepped forward to ask.
After all, the assassination case that shocked the whole Yanmen some time ago, the rebellious nobles captured very few people, and many of them left the city in official carriages. It is impossible to find out whose carriage they took.
As the carriage stopped, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a man wearing common clothes appeared in front of the Qin officials.
"I am the Cheng Cheng who has come to take office! Gan Si."
As Gan Si spoke, he took out a small bronze seal from his arms. It was slightly smaller than Bai Yan's original seal, but it was enough to prove his official status.
"grown ups!"
When the Qin officials saw the seal, they hurriedly prepared the ceremony. From the corner of their eyes, they saw that there was no one in the carriage and he was relieved.
But this time.
However, the Qin official heard the Cheng Cheng in front of him speak again.
"The carriage behind is my good friend, you don't need to search anymore!"
While Gan Si carefully put away the bronze seal, he ordered Qin Li not to disturb the carriage behind him.
"Sir, many scholars have tried to assassinate the county captain before. Now the county guard and the county captain have ordered a strict investigation. Please forgive me!"
The Qin official looked embarrassed and saluted Gan Si, and then told him what happened some time ago.
There was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going at the city gate. When some people saw this scene, they glanced at it, but they were worried about causing trouble, so they quickly looked elsewhere.
Gan Si on the carriage looked surprised when he heard what Official Qin said.
After hearing the orders from the county guard and the county lieutenant, Gan Si naturally did not dare to use his authority anymore. Not to mention that he was just a city chief at the moment. Even if he was promoted to the city guard, he would not dare to disobey the orders of the county guard and the county lieutenant.
What's more, this is a county governed by Shanwu!
After receiving Gan Si's permission, Qin Li breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and walked to the carriage behind him. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and what he saw was a middle-aged man and a young man.
"Lu Jia, Lu You!"
The Qin official took the wooden sign and looked at the name and portrait on it. After confirming that it was from Shangjun, he nodded.
"go in!"
After the Qin official returned the wooden sign to the two of them, he said softly.
soon.
Gan Si, Lu Jia, and Lu You's carriage drove into Shanwu City.
"Father, that General Bai Yan is really powerful! Along the way, except for Yanhe, people everywhere are in dire straits, and everywhere in Yanmen is a new scene. No wonder I saw so many Zhao people along the way, who would rather raise their families.
We will also migrate to Yanmen."
The young Lu You stretched out his hand to open the small window on the carriage. As the carriage jolted slightly, he looked out the window and sighed.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu You wouldn't have believed that the noisy street in front of him was the street of Yanmen, a place that had just experienced drought and war.
"Hmph~! When my father was in Shangjun, he knew from looking at Gao Nu that General Bai was a very good person. Even if he was not a leader, his talents were still enough to be the leader of the court."
When Lu Jia heard what her eldest son said, she looked like she had known it for a long time.
When Lu You heard this, he did not expose his father.
When he was in Yuzhong, Shangjun, my father saw Gaonu's new look and prosperity. Indeed, he often said with emotion that the people of Gaonu had Bai Yan as the city guard. It was not an honor for Bai Yan, but a blessing for the people of Gaonu.
However, every time when drinking with other noble friends in the mansion, my father said that Yanmen is different from Gaonu. Gaonu is a city and Yanmen is a county. Moreover, it has experienced several years of natural disasters and wars.
, a place where plundering and selling troubles, Bai Yan wants to manage more than ten large cities and twenty small cities in Yanmen, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, far more than the Gaonu city.
I recall that my father looked at the migrating people with surprise before he entered Yanmen along the way. After entering Yanmen, he stared wide-eyed when he saw the scene in Yanmen.
Lu You suppressed the laughter in his heart.
"Here we are, father!"
Lu You saw the carriage stop slowly and turned to his father Lu Jia and said.
After finishing speaking, Lu You took the lead to get out of the carriage.
Outside the carriage, Gan Si had already walked over.
"Junzi Lu, uncle, please put your luggage here first. Gan Si will go to the city guard first. Later, he and uncle will go to visit the county guard and the county lieutenant."
Gan Si said to Lu You and Lu Jia with their hands raised.
Seeing Gan Si being so polite, Lu Jia and Lu You returned the favor one after another.
"It's a pity that Ru'er doesn't like Gan Si!"
Lu You said something regretfully after watching Gan Si leave in a carriage.
As for Gan Si, as someone of his own age, Lu You still liked him very much. There were not many people with Gan Si's temperament at his age, and the most important thing was that Gan Si was born into a famous family after Gan Mao.
Although the clan has declined, it still has a reputation.
"What a pity! This Gansi is good at small things, but hard to achieve big things! How can it be compared to Qiang Xu?"
Lu Jia heard Lu You's words and said softly, frowning slightly.
Previously, Gan Si was the chief official in Yuzhong, and it was Lu Jia who helped him establish relationships in Shangjun and Xianyang, spending money and money. In the end, Gan Si was promoted to Chengcheng, and he was also an official in Yanmen County and Shanwu City.
But this grant is a grant, which does not mean that Gan Si can allow him, Lu Jia, to betroth his daughter to Gan Si.
"Since childhood, the only person Ru'er has admired is Bai Yan. Now that Ru'er has finally fallen in love with Qiang Yu, please don't mention this again!"
Lu Jia turned to look at the eldest son and warned.
After the fall of the Zhao Kingdom a few months ago, Qiang You led the Qiang cavalry from the north all the way back to Longxi, preparing to go south from Longxi to Shu.
When passing through the county, Qiang You went to see Gao Nu's famous Xiongnu Wanshou Mountain, Erlang Tomb, and the Yueshi City where tens of thousands of people died, and then also came to Yuzhong to visit Feng Quji.
In Yuzhong, Qiang You also saw Lu Ru, fell in love with her, and proposed marriage to Lu Jia.
What's surprising is that when faced with the straightforward Qiang He, Lu Ru rarely resisted.
"I know, father!"
When Lu You heard Lu Jia's words, he said dumbfounded.
He just felt a little pity. Seriously speaking, it was his younger sister Ru'er who had never had the chance to meet the person he admired, Bai Yan, in Shangjun.
I hope that I can meet my little sister in Xianyang in the future after she becomes Mrs. Qiang Yu, which can be regarded as my wish.
An hour later.
Lu Jia brought Lu You and Gan Si to the governor's mansion as promised.
"Uncle, I don't know if Mr. Yang will receive us."
After Gan Si got off the carriage, he came to Lu Jia and said, looking at the huge mansion next to him, Gan Si felt uncertain.
Unlike other county governors, Yang Duanhe was a veteran of the Qin State and a general of the Qin State. With such qualifications and now he is serving as the governor of Yanmen County, it can be said that most people can't help but feel a little weak when they think of asking to see Yang Duanhe.
Just like now, Gan Si was very nervous and even breathing a little quickly.
"Don't worry, my father has had contact with the Yang family, and Mr. Yang should not be missing!"
Lu Jia looked at the mansion and told Gan Si not to worry too much.
Talking room.
Both Lu Jia and Gan Si saw Lu You directing his servants to lift a large box of gifts out of the carriage.
"Uncle, please!"
Gan Si gestured to Lu Jia.
Lu Jia nodded and then walked to the gate of the mansion first.
And in the governor's mansion.
Yang Duanhe was sitting in the pavilion with Bai Yan, drinking tea, looking at the surrounding scenery, and talking about things in Yanmen.
"Mr. Yu has been working hard during this period."
Yang Duanhe said to Bai Yan.
After Yanmen experienced natural and man-made disasters, Bai Yan led his troops on a killing spree. Most of the powerful old nobles in Yanmen were eliminated. Now, if Yanmen wants to run, some things have to require nobles.
The nobles headed by the Yu family have been quite helpful during this period.
Without them arranging people to join the people of Yanmen and going to other counties through connections, Yanmen might not be able to recover so quickly right now.
"The Yu family wants to rise, but others want to benefit."
Bai Yan nodded and drank some tea.
Thinking of drinking with those scholars every day some time ago, Bai Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't drink as much wine in his life as he did some time ago.
However, the effect was also very significant. After getting the hint, both the nobles here in Shanwu and the nobles in other cities in Yanmen began to contribute their efforts to attract people and financial resources to Yanmen.
"Then Yu and I met last time. He is not a person who has a relationship. With his bloody nature, he should not be aware of Yu Qi's actions."
Yang Duanhe said.
I recall the last time when I went with Bai Yan to inspect the newly built canals because of the upcoming spring plowing, I met those generals from Zhao Bianqi.
What impressed me most were the three capable generals under Li Mu in the past.
One of them was named Yu He.
As a veteran general who had been in the military for most of his life, Yang Duanhe could tell at a glance that Yu He was a bloody man, both in his eyes and the old scars slightly exposed in his clothes.
"I really don't know!"
Bai Yan said with a smile.
"How are you going to arrange that Yu He?"
Yang Duanhe looked at Bai Yan, but just as he finished speaking, a servant walked into the pavilion.
"Sir, there is someone outside the mansion asking to see you!"
The servant said to Yang Duan and Ji Li.
Hear the words.
Both Yang Duanhe and Bai Yan looked at each other and frowned slightly.
Recalling that during the period after taking office, countless nobles came to visit, and some of the scholars who were not familiar with them wanted to become his disciples. Now that they heard that another person came to visit, Yang Duanhe and Bai Yan were naturally not happy.
After all, it is acceptable to visit in three to five days, and it is understandable to visit ten days later, but how long has it been, and it has been like this, and in this special period of Yanmen, no one is allowed to deal with Yanmen's affairs.
"who?"
Yang Duanhe asked softly.
The servant could also tell that Yang Duanhe was a little unhappy, so he quickly prepared the ceremony.
"My lord, I said it was Gan Si, the Cheng Cheng, and Lu Jia, the son of Lu Shen, was also with him!"
the servant said.
As the servant said the name of the person, Yang Duanhe looked thoughtful, then suddenly remembered something, and his frown slightly relaxed.
Turning to look at Bai Yan, Yang Duanhe smiled and shook his head.
"Lu Shen and I have quite a lot of contacts."
Yang Duanhe looked at Bai Yan and said.
Bai Yan also came to his senses at this time. Surprised, he also raised his hand to Yang Duanhe and gestured with a salute that he didn't mind disturbing him.
"Invite someone in!"
When Yang Duanhe saw Bai Yan's appearance, he turned to the servant and said.
In Yang Duanhe's eyes, it was normal for Lu Jia to visit him. After all, he and Lu Shen were old acquaintances. Now he came to Yanmen to serve as the county guard. As a businessman, Lu Jia would naturally be anxious to visit Yanmen.
After a while.
When Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe said this, they saw the servant leading three men into the pavilion.
"Sir, people have been brought here!"
The servant said to Yang Duanhe, and then slowly withdrew.
At this time, Yang Duanhe and Bai Yan looked at the three of them.
The three of them also saw Bai Yan at this time, their faces full of surprise, and then they couldn't help but look happy.
Regardless of Gan Si, Lu Jia, or Lu You, they all thought that Yan had performed meritorious service with General Bai and had been promoted, and now he was given a position or was transferred to serve in the county governor's mansion.
Although it is unclear what official position the young man holds now, the three of them are very happy at the moment.
After all, the young man had some contact and friendship with them.
Inside the pavilion.
Lu Jia, Gan Si, and Lu You suppressed the joy in their hearts. They all knew that now was not the time to reminisce with the young man. The important thing now was to visit the county governor Yang Duanhe. They would also go to the county governor's mansion to visit General Bai later.
Anyway, knowing that Yan is here at the governor's mansion, there will be no shortage of opportunities to interact with him in the future.
"Cheng Cheng Gan Si, pays homage to Lord Yang, the governor of the county!"
"Lu Jia, meet Shibo!"
Gan Si and Lu Jia saw Yang Duanhe and the young man getting up and saluted Yang Duanhe and Ji.
Lu You also followed and compiled the ceremony.
"No need to be polite!"
Yang Duanhe raised his hand to bow, first glanced at Gan Si, then looked at Lu Jia.
Listening to Lu Jia's words of uncle, Yang Duanhe naturally understood that Lu Jia wanted to get closer, and Yang Duanhe did not refuse. After all, he had many contacts with Lu Jia's father.
After the ceremony.
Yang Duanhe looked at Gan Si, Lu Jia and others who did not salute Bai Yan. Only then did he notice that due to yesterday's incident, Bai Yan had not yet come to wear his official uniform and his rank.
So Yang Duanhe looked at Lu Jia and introduced him to Lu Jia.
"This is County Lieutenant Bai Yan!"
Yang Duanhe said.
A short sentence sounded in the pavilion.
In an instant.
The pavilion became quiet and silent.
Gan Si, Lu Jia, and Lu You all looked at the young man at this moment, with confused expressions on their faces, and what they had just heard came to mind.
At this moment, all three of them wondered if their ears had heard wrongly. What did General Yang say?
white.!
Bai Yan?
Thinking of this, Gan Si opened her mouth slightly in shock with a look of disbelief. She recalled the first time she saw this young man in Lu Mansion. At that time, the young man was standing next to Lu Qi, and Lu Sheng introduced him to him.
This young man's name is Yan, who has the same name as Bai Yan, but he is not Bai Yan.
Why do Yang Duan and the old general now personally say that this young man is Bai Yan?
Bai Yan?
With this thought, Gan Si looked shocked. He finally understood why Lu Qi, Lu Sheng's younger brother, could know Bai Yan in the first place.
This was basically introduced by this young man.
But this young man himself is Bai Yan!
this moment.
Lu Jia and Lu You also had the same idea as Gan Si.
The father and son also had dull faces. They never imagined that the young man they saw in Shangjun Yuzhong was actually Bai Yan.
Bai Yan, the Qin general who led troops in Gaonu, Shangjun, fought to the death with the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi and burned the city. The young man who shocked the world with his bloodshed.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Duanhe was a little confused when he saw the appearance of the three people.
After Lu Jia and Gan Si came back to their senses, they quickly smiled bitterly and looked at the young man.
Bai Yan also smiled and bowed to the three of them.
"Bai Yan, I've met three of them!"
Bai Yan compiled etiquette.
Bai Yan's words surprised Yang Duanhe, because from Bai Yan's words, he could tell that Bai Yan seemed to know all three of them.
"I've seen the county captain!"
"Gan Si, meet General Bai!"
Gan Si and Lu Jia saluted, and Lu You on the side raised his hand to salute. The expressions of the three of them were still a little dazed at this moment. After curtsying, they looked at the young man with blank eyes.
Bai Yan?
Looking at the names that came to mind when they were young, the three of them had too many doubts that they wanted to know.
Why didn’t Lu Sheng know?
This is Gan Si's biggest doubt. Thinking about what Lu Sheng said in his previous letter, Gan Si feels completely ridiculous at this moment.
Lu You, on the other hand, looked at the young man and couldn't help but think of his little sister Lu Ru, who had always admired Bai Yan.
The middle-aged Lu Jia looked at the young man with doubts in his mind.
At this moment, Lu Jia just wanted to see Lu Sheng, or Lu Qi, anyone.
