Xinxiang County, a fairly prosperous road.

Suddenly, groups of soldiers came from a distance.

"Sister-in-law Liu, how are you selling mutton today?"

"How to sell it? It's still the original price!"

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

Waves of footsteps came in an orderly manner. People doing business on the street and going to the market all noticed the soldiers driving over quickly.

In particular, you can see the soldiers, fully armored and holding sharp swords in their hands.

The people on the street were in awe as soon as they arrived. However, it was still some distance before the soldiers came over, so some people on the street started talking about it.

"Hey, why are there so many soldiers?"

"Look at this? You don't know how to fight, do you?"

"Bullshit, our Weihui Mansion has always been very peaceful. Who would fight here?"

"Then if we send out so many troops, we won't be able to hold back one or two thousand of them, right?"

The soldiers quickly arrived on this bustling street. Some sellers who had no time to close their stalls, and some pedestrians who had no time to hide, suddenly jumped up and down, but the soldiers were in a neat and tidy team.

Chaos, armor and weapons just passed by.

Behind these soldiers, teams of government officials followed closely, running behind them.

It's just that these government officials were escorting two carriages while they were running.

At this moment, the curtains of the carriage in front were suddenly opened, and the face revealed was none other than Liang Ping'an.

He first looked at the sky. At this time, dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and it felt like it was about to rain.

"A storm is coming, hehe...hehe..."

As the curtains were lowered, low laughter came from inside, lingering in the air where the carriage passed.

The armored soldiers, as well as the government officials and carriages behind them, quickly passed through the street and arrived at the gate of Zhang's mansion.

One of the leading officers immediately waved his hand and shouted: "I am surrounding you!"

The other soldiers all responded with military salutes: "As ordered!"

At this time, the residents near Zhang Mansion were also attracted by the excitement here.

The general immediately shouted to the crowd at the gate of Zhang Mansion:

"According to reliable information, Zhang Qing came to Zhang Mansion to plot rebellion. This is a heinous crime. Following the orders of Lord Lu, the commander, Lord Huang, the magistrate of Xinxiang County, and others, we made a decisive decision.

Therefore, we sent troops and government officials to suppress the rebellion!"

Although what the general said was a bit confusing among ordinary people, everyone heard it clearly. The Zhang family dared to rebel. No wonder there were so many soldiers?

This, this, it looks like the Zhang family is going to end!

Then the general gave an order, and thousands of soldiers, who looked like wolves and tigers, rushed directly towards the gate of Zhang Mansion.

Hearing the sound of someone banging on the door, a doorman of the Zhang Mansion immediately opened the door and impatiently yelled subconsciously: "You are blinding your dogs..."

However, before he could finish his words, he saw a sharp blade piercing through his chest. The man opened his eyes wide, and in complete disbelief, he only uttered half a sentence: "How...how dare you...

…”

He immediately fell to the ground and died with his eyes open.

About a quarter of an hour later, the general immediately walked to the carriage in front and said cautiously and respectfully: "Mr. Liang, the Zhang Mansion is almost clean. Do you want to go and take a look?"

A young boy's voice came from the carriage: "Will Zhang Qinglai and Zhang Kun keep both?"

The general nodded immediately and said: "According to your previous instructions, we wanted to see the two of them die with our own eyes, so we only drove them to the Zhang family hall."

The young man's voice said again in the carriage: "I'm sorry to bother Jiang Qianhu."

When the general Jiang Qianhu heard this, he immediately became excited and said hurriedly: "I am just following orders, I don't dare to bother you."

At this time, a fat young man jumped out of the carriage. He was Liang Pingjun. He immediately took out a mat and placed it next to the carriage. Then a slightly pale young man stepped on the mat and got out of the carriage.

The young man was Liang Pingan, and it was he who was talking to Jiang Qianhu just now.

After the four young men from Liang Ping'an got off the carriage, people also got out of the carriage behind them. The person who got off was none other than Liao Laiwu, the master in charge of punishment at the Xinxiang County Government. He was sent here by his county magistrate.

And Liang Ping'an also heard the movement behind him, and immediately turned around and looked over, with a forced smile and said: "Master Liao, would you please go first?"

Liao Laiwu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. In this situation, who should be invited first and who should be invited last?

But Master Liao felt a little relieved at this time, but his face was still full of spring breeze: "It doesn't matter, you go first!"

Liang Ping'an laughed and didn't say anything more. But he smiled like this and immediately felt dizzy. He held Liang Pingjun's shoulders. After he recovered a little, he stopped supporting him and walked towards the gate of Zhang's Mansion.

walk over.

And everyone else followed soon after.

The government officials were clearing the way in front with swords and guarding the surrounding areas.

And watching the young man who was holding on to his sick body enter the Zhang Mansion, followed by Master Liao Laiwu and Liao, who also walked to the gate of the Zhang Mansion, he watched the young man move forward step by step without hesitation.

There was a trance in front of his eyes. He looked at the blood-red footprints of the Zhang family that were stepped on by the young man in front of him. His mind couldn't help but recall the scene in the county government's small garden more than half an hour ago...

…

"Sir, a man named Liang Ping'an, who claims to be the leader of this county examination and your student, is asking for an audience outside the door!"

Huang Mingde's housekeeper came to the small garden and reported to Huang Mingde.

"Oh, look, Cao Cao is here!" Huang Mingde said to the people present with a smile.

Huang Mingde immediately looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Uncle Fang, let him come in."

Butler Fang immediately took the order and left.

After a while, Butler Fang led a very young boy in here.

As soon as the young man came in, he took a look at the situation and immediately bowed to the county magistrate in civilian clothes and saluted: "Student, meet your teacher!"

This young man was Liang Pingan. He had met this county magistrate before. Because the magistrate was the chief examiner and had patrolled the examination room, Liang Pingan immediately recognized him and saluted him.

Before Magistrate Huang could speak, a fat man in brocade clothes walked over and looked Liang Pingan up and down, and then said, "Are you Liang Pingan?"

Liang Ping'an didn't know who the other party was, but he didn't dare to neglect him at this time, "That's the student."

"Your county examination essay was well written, and I like it very much!" The fat man in Jinyi said immediately.

Liang Ping'an was suddenly at a loss. He heard that the other party reported that he was an official, so he knew he couldn't be negligent, but he rashly asked what official the other party was, which seemed to be a little disrespectful, and he was hesitating.

Magistrate Huang was picking up the teacup on the table next to him and drinking tea. When he heard the fat man in brocade clothes speaking, he immediately took a sip of tea, moved the teacup away, and said, "Oh, Ping An, he is from this county."

Cheng, Lord Cheng Gao of Gao County!"

When Liang Ping'an heard that it turned out to be the county magistrate of his county, he thought that the other party knew that he must have read the article about his county examination. The county magistrate's official position was only lower than that of the county magistrate in the county. He was actually the second-in-command in the county, so

Liang Ping'an immediately put on a respectful look, bowed his hands to the county magistrate and said, "Student, I have met the county magistrate!"

"'Boil the beans to make a soup, and drain the bean sprouts to make juice. The bean sprouts are burning under the cauldron, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron. They come from the same root, so why fry each other in a hurry?' Was this poem written by you?" Suddenly, someone walked over from the side.

A lean man, he first recited the "Seven-step Poem", then looked at Liang Ping'an and couldn't help but ask.

After Liang Ping'an found out that the man in brocade clothes was the county magistrate, he was already careful and told everyone here not to neglect him. Maybe they were all officials?

So Liang Pingan carefully responded: "This is exactly what the students wrote." Liang Pingan also wondered in his heart, how did this person know about "his" poem?

But this lean man looked at Liang Pingan with doubts and said:

"There must be some story in this poem, right? Although the whole poem seems ordinary, the last sentence, 'We are born from the same roots, why rush to cross each other' seems to be a metaphor for something?"

Liang Ping'an immediately nodded and said: "This poem..." He told the story of his uncle's taking over the house and the poem he composed and recited on the spot out of "helplessness".

.

"Hahahaha," the lean man laughed, and then pointed Liang Ping'an with his hand, and said with a smile: "You really have the ability to be on the spot. In such a short time, you can recite this poem because of the scene.

He is really a child prodigy, yes, he is a child prodigy!”

After Liang Ping'an heard the lean man's praise for himself, he felt troubled again. At this time, he wanted to ask what kind of official this gentleman was, and it seemed that he should ask this question at this time.

However, Liang Ping'an was still afraid that if he asked this question, he would feel disrespectful to the superiors. After all, he was just a student.

Magistrate Huang, who was looking at the garden scenery, squinted his eyes and said softly: "He is Lin County Lieutenant of this county."

Liang Ping'an was suddenly enlightened, and immediately saluted the lean man and said, "Student, I have met the county captain!"

"Okay, let me introduce you to Ping'an." At the right time, County Magistrate Huang came over and introduced the positions and names of the people present one by one to Liang Ping'an.

Liang Ping'an immediately showed a flattered look and saluted each of the people present.

Later, County Magistrate Huang Mingde looked at Liang Ping'an and said with a half-smile, "Ping'an came to see me. I must have something to do, right?"

Liang Ping'an couldn't help but feel shuddering. He came to see the county magistrate himself. The magistrate seemed to know why he came to him. Could it be that it was the Zhang family?

The Zhang family actually has something to do with the county magistrate?
