This woman is naturally Ma Yun. Li Lin didn't recognize her. If he knew it was Ma Yun, he would never be so impulsive. At this moment, a thin young girl rushed over and stood in the middle. Li Lin slammed the girl's head firmly, and then he was controlled by the guards who rushed up. That girl is Erya. After she was expelled from the prefectural palace, she was sold to a family as a child bride-in-law. Erya, a child-naughter-in-law, has a hard time. Her little husband is only five years old. He usually takes children, buys vegetables, washes clothes, cooks, and has to endure the beating and scolding of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. However, in this way she also has the opportunity to go to the streets, so she can see Ma Yun, who likes to go shopping. Although Ma Yun didn't get along with her for a long time, she treated her very well, so she often followed his wife secretly, wanting to take a look at her. By coincidence today, she saw his wife enter the silk shop, so she quietly guarded the door, not wanting to block Ma Yun.
Liu Xin found out the ins and outs of the matter, and was also furious, the legendary hacking plan actually appeared on his own territory!
At this time, Fan Juan also came in with Er Ya. Er Ya was already awake, her already malnourished face became paler because of blood loss, and she was thickly wrapped in gauze.
Ma Yun led them to the inner house, and said to Liu Xin: "I want to stay Erya, and I will settle accounts with you later!"
Liu Xin was extremely wronged. Li Lin didn't secretly let me go. What kind of account is it with me. But at this time, Ma Yun belongs to a national treasure one level higher than the giant panda. He didn't dare to talk back, so he pinched his nose and said to Zhao Yun who was still in the hall: "Zhao Yun, you first send someone to bring Chen Jin Get caught, and then interrogate Li Lin carefully to see who else knows that Li Lin is not dead, and arrest them all."
Zhao Yunzheng was a little dissatisfied with Liu Xin's failure to arrange his own affairs. He was ordered to arrest people happily. Besides, Fan Juan was also with Ma Yun just now, so if Li Lin missed it, the stone fell on Fan Juan's head. What is good about going there? Naturally, Zhao Yun would not let go of these officials who knew nothing about it. As a result, in Hejian County, more than a dozen officials went to jail one after another.
On the outskirts of Julu County, there is a Taiping Villa, which is the residence of Taiping Taoist Zhang Jiao. The entire villa is well-designed, and there are many tortuous roads connecting different courtyards in the villa. In a secret room in a corner of Zhuangzi, Zhang Jiao recruited several henchmen.
Zhang Jiao’s beard and hair are all white, three strands of long beard under his jaw, and he looks like a fairy-style bone. He sits up on his head and slowly said: "Everyone, I have predicted that next year, an unprecedented event will happen. The drought will spread to the entire north. Today, Zhang Jun, the head of the river, brought a gift to the village and wanted to invite my teacher to ask for rain. What do you think of this matter?"
Zhang Bao first stood up and said: "Brother, in order to make good use of this drought, we sent more than 30 men and horses to move around, and everything went smoothly in all counties. Only this Hejian county has been a member of Liu. After Xin, he was very guarded, he repeatedly missed and broke Zhu Qing. Now he sends someone to ask his eldest brother to ask for rain for him, and he will never agree."
Zhu Qing and Tang Zhou are the two most proud disciples under Zhang Jiao's seat. That day, Zhu Qing pretended to be the leader of the horse thief and went to Gaoyang County, Hejian to grab food, but unexpectedly met Xu Huang, and committed suicide instead of surrendering. Later, because Zhang Jun hurried back to Hejian and urged Xu Huang to go on the road, Zhu Qing's body was snatched back by Zhang Jiao's men. Later, Liu Xin strictly ordered the counties to strengthen precautions, and Zhang Jiao stopped sending people to the Hejian area. Several of Zhang Jiao's confidants have been worried about Zhu Qing's death. They had to go to the river to find Xu Huang for revenge several times, but they were all stopped by Zhang Jiao.
Guan Hai also yelled from the side: "It wasn't the master who stopped the prefect. I went to Hejian to kill the dog official a long time ago."
Zhang Jiao said disapprovingly: "This Liu Xin is not easy. I didn't expect him to see that there will be a drought next year. I don't know what else he knows. This person should not be underestimated. There will be a severe drought next year, and the people will have no food and will inevitably wander around. , When the time comes, just make good use of it and don’t worry about people’s feelings. We can’t help but prevent Liu Xin. I want to take this opportunity to send someone to explore his reality. Who do you think is more appropriate?"
Zhang Liang, Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, and Tang Zhou all stood up and said, "I'll go!"
Zhang Jiao shook his head and said: "Liu Xin can see that next year's drought, it must be a scheming person. You are brave and brave. You should not be his opponent if you are brave. Don't let him calculate it. Let me think about it again..."
"Father, what's your embarrassment?" When Zhang Jiao was hesitating, a young girl rushed in and saw her waist resembling a willow, her face resembling a peach blossom, and her muscles resembling jade.
When Zhang Jiao saw it, it was her daughter Zhang Ning who had just returned from outside. Zhang Jiao knew that his daughter was clever and smart and had a good martial arts, so he suddenly had an idea: "Ning'er, you came just right. I have an important thing here that I need to send someone to the river. It's best for you to go."
Zhang Ning heard that it was Hejian, his eyes let out fire: "Father, are you going to kill that dog official?"
It turns out that Zhu Qing is Zhang Ning's senior brother, and Tang Zhou is Zhang Ning's second senior brother. Both senior brothers have affection for this beautiful little junior sister and treat her in every possible way. Zhang Ningnian just got married, although Chunxin has already germinated, but he still can’t say that he loves these two seniors, but it’s certain to get closer, especially Zhu Qing, the senior brother, but Zhu Qing died in Hejian. Zhang Ning was right. This has always held a grudge in his heart, and has secretly inquired that the prefect of Hejian was Liu Xin, and it was his lieutenant named Xu Huang who killed the brother, and he often thought about going to Hejian for revenge.
Zhang Jiao knew the reason for this most clearly, so he drank her and said: "Ning'er, I am sending you here this time because there is something important to ask, you must not be arrogant. If things go well next year, Qing'er Why don't you worry about not repaying your feud."
Zhang Ningqiang suppressed his heart and said angrily: "My child, everything depends on his father's instructions."
Zhang Jiao knew that his daughter’s faith was the most important. Since she agreed, she wouldn’t mess around. He was relieved to give the opportunity to the ground and said: "You are going to Hejian for me this time to help Prefect Liu Xin begging for rain. This is what we need to do..."
Of course Zhang Ning knew that she could not ask for rain, but she didn't know that her father could not ask for rain, so she was inconvenient to go out in person. After listening to her father's instructions, she nodded and made up her mind that she must find out Liu Xin during this trip. Secret.
Ma Yun was vomiting with Liu Xin at home, not because of Li Lin, but because of Erya. Er Ya suffered that for her, and was taken back to the Prefect Mansion by her. Naturally, she had to tell her what happened after being expelled. Ma Yun is a hard-hearted lord. After hearing Erya's cry, she couldn't help crying when she saw that she had suffered a lot. It was all because of Liu Xin's cruelty to drive her out. Liu Xin couldn't help her, so he had to send someone to redeem Erya back with money. When the family saw that it was the prefect to redeem the people, how dare not to refuse, let alone Liu Xin's offer was not cheap. That's the case, Ma Yun still didn't talk to Liu Xin for two days, until Liu Xin had a lot of good things to say, and then she barely broke his tears into laughter, and everyone around Liu Xin knew that he was afraid of his wife like a tiger.
Before Zhang Jun came back from Julu, the water conservancy projects in Hejian counties were already in full swing. On the one hand, a large number of ditches were built to connect the river, so that even if there is no drought in the future, it will be of great benefit to agricultural production. On the other hand, Many wells and water cellars were dug in villages and towns to ensure drinking water for humans and animals when the drought came. These measures were all thought of by Liu Xin based on some experience of later generations, and Tian Feng and Ju Shou also deeply agreed with them.
Because Zhao Yun arrested more than a dozen officials in one go, many affairs in Hejian County were still affected. People who came to intercede one after another, including Ju Sui and Tian Feng, also came forward to intercede for these people. However, the two of them are indeed out of the common heart, and sincerely consider Liu Xin. Because the arrested officials almost involved the entire gentry class in Hejian. The gentry class is the ruler of this era, and it is very unwise to oppose the whole gentry. Liu Xin didn’t think too much, anyway, Ma Yun’s anger disappeared, so he ordered these officials to spend money to atone for their crimes, and Li Lin and Chen Jin would not be let off by him. Chen Jin was dismissed from office and went home, and Li Lin was actually taken to the execution ground this time, and Liu Xin personally supervised the execution, and no one could save his life anymore.
Finally stabilized the situation in Hejian, Liu Xin just took a breath, and the soldiers who accompanied Zhang Jun to Julu rushed back to report. Zhang Jiao sent the saint in the Taiping Road to come to help the adults beg for rain, and asked the adults to go out of the city to meet .
Liu Xin sneered secretly, with a big tone, he wanted to play tricks with me, but he was still a little tender. However, Liu Xin also wanted to see who this saint was. He didn't have this character in the Yellow Turban Army in his impression. Of course Liu Xin would not meet him personally. After thinking about it, he sent someone to find Chen Jin. He was responsible for catching the thief. This saint is probably a witch or something. It would be best for him to deal with it, Liu Xin Promise him that as long as this errand is done well, he will be restored to his post.
Chen Jin took the errand and rushed to the gate of Beicheng. There was no one at the gate of the city, and the saint did not know where it was. Chen Jin waited left and right until sunset, and when the city gate was closed, he saw a group of people slowly approaching. Chen Jin had been trying to figure out Liu Xin's intention to send him to greet the saint. He asked the soldier who had come to report the letter, then looked at the sluggish team ahead, and finally understood.
The soldier at the gate knew that Chen Jin was here and asked, "Master Chen, the hour is here, do you wait for them to come and close the city gate?"
Without hesitation, Chen Jin waved his hand: "Close the city gate!"
Soldiers on both sides hurriedly got busy, dispersing the people at the gate of the city, so that those who should enter the city quickly enter the city, and those who should leave the city quickly leave the city. The team outside the city was getting closer, but the city gate was "creaking" closed.
Zhang Jun finally found Taiping Villa, but was told that the great wise teacher Zhang Jiao was practicing in retreat and it would take half a year to leave. He begged for two days in the villa, only then did the Taiping Taoist ask Zhang Jiao for instructions and sent the saint Zhang Ning to follow him. On the way, Zhang Ning did what he wanted, and lived as long as he wanted to live. Zhang Jun didn't even dare to put a fart. He slowly swallowed it and walked for five days before approaching Hejian County. Zhang Ning's whip raised: "Hurry up and call the prefect to come out of the city to meet you."
Zhang Jun didn't dare to neglect, and quickly sent his soldiers to report to Liu Xin. The team was still walking slowly, and finally saw Hejian City, it was already time to close the city gate. There was no greet team outside the city gate, but the city gate was slowly closed. Zhang Jun was taken aback, struck his horse forward, rushed to the city and shouted: "The saint is here, open the city gate!"
