Chapter 16: Chen Yaotian is besieged and County Wei surrenders

"Who beat my second brother like this?" The county magistrate came to the front hall and looked at the dying young master lying there. His face turned blue and he was angry. The little boy who was beaten heard the question from his eldest master.

, hurriedly stepped forward and told the story of what happened, right and wrong.

"Eldest Young Master, what happened is this. We and the Second Young Master were wandering on the street near the South City Gate. We met a group of evil people there. Seeing that we were blocking the way, the other party took advantage of the strength of the crowd and came up to me.

One punch. The second young master saw that I was beaten and wanted to come forward to argue. Unexpectedly, the other party was unreasonable and slapped the second young master. After the beating, he still felt that it was not enough, so he called his men to break the second young master's legs. Big

Young Master, look at how many of my teeth have been knocked out, you have to make the decision for us!"

After hearing the boy's flawed rhetoric, the county magistrate frowned and said secretly that I don't understand your moral character. Usually you don't let others give way, but they happily burn incense. Who would be so ignorant to bully you?

Ah! I know that no matter how much I ask, I won't be able to get anything out. But no matter whether the other party is right or wrong, the revenge for my second brother's broken leg must be avenged.

"Go and notify County Lieutenant Chen and ask him to go to the fourth gate to close the city gates, and then lead his troops to search out these thugs in the city." The guard followed the order and left.

After a while, a soldier came to the county government on horseback and reported to the county magistrate that the target had been found.

"Let's go, let's go meet these lawless villains earlier." The county magistrate was very satisfied with the efficiency of Chen County Lieutenant, and after saying that, the soldiers led the way to the location of the violent incident.

Chen Yaotian and others were waiting on Nanmen Street without escaping. During this period, Xi Zhicai persuaded Chen Yaotian to leave more than once. The last time Chen Yaotian broke into the bully's house at night, he was injured by an arrow. It is said that once he was bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of the well rope for ten years.

, this is the opponent's home base. Although it is under the jurisdiction of Chen Yaotian on the surface, if the opponent does not follow this trick and engages in a head-on confrontation, there will inevitably be casualties. If Chen Yaotian has another shortcoming, Xi Zhicai will not give up. Photographed by Chen Yaotian

He patted him on the shoulder to show his relief. Although the imperial court was corrupt now, it still had some power. Without orders from above, no one would dare to touch him openly.

Not long after, he saw a group of soldiers rushing towards him from a distance. Xi Zhicai secretly thought that he couldn't run away now. After a while, they surrounded them three times inside and three times outside. He saw that they made no move after being surrounded.

.

Soon after, a middle-aged man wearing a county official's uniform came angrily, pushed through the crowd and appeared in front of Chen Yaotian.

"I am Zhang Ju, the county magistrate here. You are so brave. You dare to beat my second brother like that. Do you want to die?" The man who called himself Zhang Ju was angry and asked arrogantly as soon as he came.

His attitude is even worse than that of his second brother.

"It doesn't matter who I am. As a parent official here, you don't work for the welfare of the people. Instead, you indulge your second brother to harm the village and bully the people. Do you know your crime?" Chen Yaotian was slightly startled when he heard the other party's name and made a gesture.

Let the guards behind him prepare for battle. Zhang Ju is no stranger to Chen Yaotian, who is familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms. History books record that in 187 AD, Zhang Ju colluded with Qiu Liju, the leader of Yuyang Wuhuan, and others to rebel against

He caused chaos and claimed to be king. From this, it can be seen that this man is simply a lawless and lawless lord.

Zhang Ju didn't care about Chen Yaotian's questioning. Instead, he said rebelliously: "Your Excellency is really naive. Now the Han Dynasty is weak. In this three-acre land, I am the sky here. Now you are all surrounded. How can I ask you how to punish me?"

My crime? What right do you have to punish me for my crime?"

"Very good. You are so arrogant. Today I will arrest a rebellious person like you on behalf of the Emperor. Yan Liang, step forward and capture him." After receiving the order, Yan Liang rode forward alone, intending to capture Zhang.

He took it down in one fell swoop and was blocked by the surrounding soldiers.

"I am the prefect of Shanggu whom I personally proclaimed today. Now why are you trying to arrest the rebels? Are you trying to rebel?" Seeing someone blocking me, Chen Yaotian revealed his identity and scolded him. After saying this, he ordered Xi Zhi to take out the documents.

When the soldiers heard Chen Yaotian's scolding, they couldn't tell whether the other party's identity was true or false. They stopped to stop him and looked in the direction of their superiors. The officials headed by Zhang Ju had already received the document from the Han court and knew that there would be a meeting in the near future.

A new governor came to take office. Now that Chen Yaotian revealed his identity, everyone was shocked.

"His identity is fake. Don't believe him. Lieutenant Chen, arrest the man in front of me." Zhang Ju watched Yan Liang getting closer and shouted calmly. Zhang Ju's trusted generals listened.

After the order, he immediately ordered his men to stop Yan Liang. Zhang Ju had just been impulsive and said such treacherous words. If he was caught secretly, would he still have a way to survive? Now it is only right to kill them all and then cover up the facts.

County Lieutenant Chen heard Zhang Ju's order, thought about it for a moment, called his confidants to ride to his side, clasped his fists and said, "I obey, your Majesty the County Magistrate." After saying this, he took advantage of Zhang Ju's distraction and fired a shot.

He swept him to the ground and ordered his cronies to come forward and tie him up. All this happened so suddenly that Zhang Ju and others had no chance to react. Why did County Lieutenant Chen rebel? After some thought, he decided to step forward to help Zhang Ju.

It was just the icing on the cake, and helping the prefect capture Zhang Ju would be a great achievement, and he might even be reused. After weighing the situation, the smart County Lieutenant Chen chose the latter without hesitation.

"Chen County Lieutenant, I usually treat you well, why did you betray me?" After Zhang Ju was arrested, he was confused. He couldn't understand why Chen County Lieutenant, who usually obeyed his orders, rebelled.

"You are so arrogant that all the rebels who commit crimes will be punished by everyone. Brothers, follow me and take down all the remaining rebels." After saying that, he took the lead and rushed out, hoping to leave a good place for Chen Yaotian and others.

"Brothers, follow me forward and rescue the county magistrate." Soon the two parties started fighting, and for a while the sounds of killing and the clash of weapons were heard.

Chen Yaotian saw that the strength of the two sides was about the same. If the situation continued like this, the outcome would be uncertain. He turned his head and shouted: "Do you really want to rebel with Zhang Ju? As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, I promise everyone that things in the past will be forgotten.

After saying that, the twenty guards behind him all shouted: "Surrender without killing, surrender without killing..."

Rebellion is punishable by death. Disobeying the orders of their immediate superiors, the soldiers on Zhang Ju's side fought against the army led by County Lieutenant Chen. Now that Chen Yaotian was shouting slogans and Zhang Ju was also in the opponent's hands, there was no point in resisting.
