Chapter 2 Storm (2)

There is never a need to argue for who is 100% correct in disputes between husband and wife.

Seeing that her husband was determined to save Hu Yancong's life at any cost, Zhe Saihua smiled and no longer advised him to change his course. After hearing his wife's worries, Yang Chonggui began to silently think about what to do to handle the whole thing more smoothly. If he could try to avoid causing cause and effect for Yang and Zhe's two families without going against their true intentions.

The couple reached a tacit understanding and continued to lead their troops to hurry on their way. On this day, a scout who was responsible for opening the road came to report that Sun Shan, the magistrate of Dingzhou County, brought the county officials and constables to place fresh fruits and wine not far ahead, hoping to welcome General Xuanwei and his brothers.

"County Magistrate Sun Shan?" Yang Chonggui frowned and whispered: "Where did this guy come out? I have different civil and military careers with him, and it is not a relative or a relative. Where did he wash the dust for me?"

"I'm afraid I'm asking for help if you have something to do!" When Zhe Saihua saw Yang Chonggui's expression, she knew that her husband looked down on Sun Shan, a local official who had been transferred from a bandit. She smiled and whispered to remind her. "As the saying goes, if you treat others with courtesy, you will have something to ask for. In such hot weather, he will face the scorching heat on the roadside, and I'm afraid the help he needs will not be too small."

"He was rewarded by the county magistrate under the name of Sun Fangjian, the governor of the Yiwu Army. He asked for help. He should not bypass the Sun brothers." Yang Chonggui frowned again and responded in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly waved to the scout, "Go to tell the magistrate Sun, and say that Yang is in trouble. He immediately led his brothers over and thanked him and the elders of Dingzhou in person for their kindness!"

"Yes!" The scout crossed his hands on the horse's back and turned around and hurried away.

Looking at his back, Yang Chonggui shrugged and shook his head and sneered: "I understand. The two brothers named Sun have a ghost in their hearts, so they sent Sun Shan to explore the way. If these two cowards had known this, why would they have to be greedy for the favors of Youzhou in the past!"

From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on a guy like Sun Fangjian who was walking on several boats at the same time. However, from the interests of Yang and Zhe families, he didn't need to make the relationship too stiff with the other party. Anyway, if the Sun brothers didn't want to rebel to Liao immediately, they would not dare to do anything to themselves and the hundreds of brothers around him. If he didn't want to help with what the other party asked for, he could pretend not to understand.

After thinking about the regulations in his heart, the next meeting became much easier. Sun Shan led a group of local staff to flatter him. Yang Chonggui and Zhe Saihua took out the basic ancestral skills of the children of aristocratic families, and talked with each other happily, making every local official feel like a spring breeze. However, the other party wanted to try to bring the relationship between them closer, but immediately encountered a high wall with invisible shapes, colors, but toughness and warmness. All efforts were blocked outside the "wall", and they could not express their temper at all!

Seeing that the food and fruits were about to be eaten up by the cavalry, the carefully prepared dishes, wine, and snacks were swept away by the officers under Yang Chonggui. In desperation, the county magistrate Sun Shan no longer cared about the gentleness of being an official. He raised his head and looked around, and suddenly he knelt down at Yang Chonggui with a "thump" and shouted: "General Yang is kind to you, please be sure to save the officer. The officer and my gentry in Dingzhou are willing to lead the horse and fall into stirrups for the general from now on!"

"What are you saying?" Even though Yang Chonggui had already done enough and accurate in his heart, he was still shocked by Sun Shan's shameless behavior, frowned and asked in a deep voice. "You are the county magistrate of the Han Dynasty, and you are naturally protected by the national laws. If you make a mistake, your boss must first hand the memorial to the Ministry of Personnel before you can deal with it according to the law. Yang is just a passing general. How can he interfere in the administration and judicial department in the local area? County magistrate Sun, you are afraid you have asked for the wrong person?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the magistrate Sun's commander and officials from various departments also knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Yang Chonggui for mercy: "You are asking for nothing, you are asking for something wrong, you are asking for something wrong, the general will be kind, let me finish the matter!"

"Since we have been loyal to the court, we have been grateful to the great emperor's grace, and have worked diligently and never slacked off at all. However, fate has made people..." They were afraid that Yang Chonggui would refuse, and they did not wait for the other party's consent at all. I immediately started crying one by one, one by one, in the order of rehearsals in advance, and cooperated extremely skillfully.

As the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, rats have rats holes. County Magistrate Sun Shan has very ordinary vision and mind, and is not very good at handling government affairs. However, he is extremely proficient in reversing black and white and making trouble. Before Yang Chonggui was impatient, he clearly turned the ins and outs of a "misunderstanding" through the mouths of his subordinates.

According to their rehearsals many times in advance, it was naturally that the three brothers Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng Ziming were seriously ill and refused to take the initiative to reveal their identities with the government. Liu Sheng, the county magistrate of Ding County, regarded the three brothers as ordinary tycoons. Under the heavy bribes made by Youzhou, he secretly cooperated with the three brothers to chase after the three brothers without hiding the money from his colleagues in the county. Although the county magistrate Sun Shan quickly found out the truth and snatched the three brothers in Liu Sheng.

Before the disaster occurred, he decisively took action to kill him. However, the misunderstanding was born. The three brothers of Guo Rong regarded all the officials of Ding County and even all the soldiers of the Yiwu Army as enemies. Now the three brothers are preparing for war in Lijiazhai and are ready to enter the county town to take revenge at any time. As officials of the Han Dynasty, the county magistrate Sun Shan led his troops to resist and would inevitably offend the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor Guo, and if he surrendered, he would lose the face of the court, and he would be in a dilemma!

"As a result, you don't know anything about the three of them being hunted down?" Yang Chonggui laughed when he heard this, his lips curled up slightly, and he asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, really, I don't know. It was all made by Liu Sheng, and it was all done by Liu Sheng! If the official knows any news, it will be struck by lightning!" County Magistrate Sun Shan only wanted to get rid of the disaster, so he ignored Yang Chonggui's tone when he spoke. He raised his right hand and made a swearing statement.

"The three of them are still using the title of Taihang Mountain heroes to conceal their identities. The county magistrate sent a few missions to clarify, but they were all beaten back by the township warriors!" Fearing that Sun Shan's words were not enough, the master quickly added next to him.

If you are fishing the white dragon fish clothes, you can't blame the fishermen for being disrespectful. If you, Guo Rong, have not revealed your identities to the local government in advance, and are sold to Khitan by local county magistrates as ordinary people, you cannot blame the local officials for deliberately provoking the majesty of the Deputy Privy Councilor. (Note 1)

"Then you just need to prepare for the war. Anyway, the fault is not yours! As far as Yang knows, Guo Shumi has always been generous and generous. Since Mr. Guo is unscathed, you have sent someone to clarify. In the future, he will definitely laugh it off. It is absolutely impossible, and there is no time to deliberately make things difficult for you!" After hearing the master's words, Yang Chonggui smiled again and responded indifferently.

It is absolutely easy for the Deputy Privy Councilor who holds heavy troops to deal with a county magistrate. But in his opinion, Guo Wei has no time at all and is too lazy to do such boring things. It is worth losing the price and embarrassing! The actions of the Ding County officials today are completely a terrifying person in their hearts and scaring themselves.

"General Yang is kind to you!" Hearing this, the county magistrate Sun Shan immediately threw himself in front of his combat boots and cried loudly. "I also know that Mr. Guo is generous and will not be skeptical about Mr. Gui. However, since ancient times, it has been difficult for a little kid to deal with him. If this matter is not explained clearly, Mr. Guo will not have to take action at all. Of course, someone is rushing to vent his anger on Mr. Guo. If Mr. Guo is humble, it doesn't matter if he is disgraced. However, Mr. Guo's reputation will not be destroyed by villains!"

"General Yang is kind to you, save me!" The officials also followed suit and cried. "We definitely dare not meet Mr. Guo."

Of course, they also understood in their hearts that the revenge of the Privy Councilor Guo Wei would never fall on their heads. Guo Rong was preparing for war in Lijia Village, just to protect himself, and would never take the initiative to attack the county town. But the pain in their hearts is that Sun Fangjian, the governor of the Yiwu Army, had personally sent someone to pass on the words and asked them to block the holes they had pierced by themselves. If they could not satisfy Guo Rong, they would probably not have to please Guo Wei at all. Sun Fangjian's brothers would take the heads of some of them and go to Guo Wei for an explanation.

"You really asked for the wrong person. Yang is just a fourth-rank general and is under the command of Liu Gong of Taiyuan. He has never seen Shumi Guo at all. He is only a few friends with Mr. Guo. He is hard to believe what he says!" Yang Chonggui was upset by their crying, so he took several steps backwards, turned around and took the reins of the war horse from the guards.

"General Yang helps. We wait, don't ask, don't ask, don't ask you to plead for me, just ask, just ask, just ask, just ask, just ask, just ask, just ask, please give us a chance to clarify to Mr. Guo!" County Magistrate Sun Shan was willing to let him go? He cried a few steps and hugged his thighs with both hands. "General Yang, howling, howling, howling, howling, we are! Although we are humble, we have several lives! As long as you bring Xiaguan into Lijia Village, the rest will naturally be done by Xiaguan himself. Even if Mr. Guo refuses to forgive Sun, Sun will at least die with peace of mind!"

While crying, he continued to kowtow hard. His nose, tears and blood on his forehead were mixed together, rubbing everywhere. The rest of Ding County officials knelt in a row on the avenue and played with mangy dogs directly. If Yang Chonggui refused to help, he would rather be trampled to death by a war horse now than be afraid all day long.

"What do you think of you? Where is the face of the court?" Yang Chonggui made friends with heroes and dignitaries. He had never dealt with such a rogue? He was so disgusted that his throat was itchy, frowned, and scolded loudly.

"You are! You are like an official! You have always had such virtues since ancient times. What's so strange about it?" The first answer suddenly came from behind him. He was weak, but his face was instantly filled with ecstasy.
