Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 716

"Why must the historian be an upright person who writes straight and is not afraid of power? The historian is also a human being. Are there no exceptions?"

Someone asked in puzzlement.

Thinking of what Wu Liang did just now, especially taking their children as hostages when they were unprepared, people who could do such a thing made it really difficult for them to associate Wu Liang with the word "a man of integrity" stand up.

"This……"

The old man was silent for a moment when he was asked, and then he said, "Nowadays the world is in chaos and the imperial family of the Han Dynasty is in decline. Now besides some people who are stalking the emperor, they are powerful ministers with heavy soldiers. Everyone is trying their best to fight for power. Taishi Ling is one of the official positions that are farthest away from power around the emperor."

"This person is already an outlier among those people when he takes this official position, at least he is not a person who is greedy for wealth and power, that's all, but he is not like many celebrities who keep their doors closed and take care of themselves. Leading someone out to investigate the historical facts personally shows that this person still adheres to the ethics of a historian, such a person, even if he is really evil, must have a bottom line for evil."

"Also, you should all have heard of Tai Shigong, right?"

Having said that, the old man paused, looked at the crowd and asked.

Taishigong was originally an official position, the highest official position of historians. However, during the time of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, the official position of Taishigong was abolished, and only a lower official Taishi Ling was established, which was equivalent to lowering the rank and treatment of historians in disguise.

And this change happened not long after Sima Qian's death.

Even if Sima Qian was not the last Tai Shigong in the last history, he was the last most famous historian before Tai Shigong disappeared, so people in later generations used "Tai Shigong" to refer to Sima Qian specifically.

"I've heard of it."

Many people responded one after another.

"What kind of person do you think Tai Shigong is?"

The old man asked again.

"A doctor who understands the past and the present! His "Tai Shi Gong Shu" can be said to be unprecedented, but I am illiterate and have never read it."

"A righteous man who is not afraid of power! He dared to argue with Emperor Wu, which surpassed those who were greedy for life and fear of death. Who in the world has the courage and courage to write about Emperor Wu's faults."

"Anyway, Tai Shigong is a very powerful person, but I don't know why Uncle Jin is asking this?"

Everyone answered in a hurry.

"You are right. Tai Shigong is the representative of the world's historians. After Tai Shigong, all the world's historians follow him as an example, and everyone strives to be Tai Shigong."

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Pearls and jade are in front of me, I dare to say that this person will never dare to risk the disgrace of the world and tarnish the reputation of the official historian, otherwise he will become a sinner who will be infamous forever."

"But he said just now that he had slaughtered a city!"

Someone said again.

"That's [-]% of the remarks to scare us. If he is a massacre, how can he care about our lives? He has already ordered the soldiers under his command to do it."

The old man still defended Wu Liang.

In fact, he was not completely defending Wu Liang, but mainly to appease everyone's emotions, and at the same time, he was also reassuring himself. To put it simply, he was lying to himself.

Now that things have happened, he has to keep everyone safe, lest someone want to protect his son and do some extreme things, and in the end not only harm himself, but also those children who were captured by Wu Liang, this is the last thing he wants See the results.

Except for these villagers.

He also had to stabilize the Yellow Turbans who were about to come from Yuzhou Mountain.

Among the young children who were captured were their descendants, for example, the grandson of the old man was the son of the leader of the Yellow Turban Army... Yes, the son of the old man was the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and that is why he was able to become a leader in Qu County. With such prestige, to become the voice of this group of villagers, even Bing Li, the magistrate of Qu County, must be given enough respect.

"Then what does Uncle Jin say? Do you want to let this person blackmail us with children?"

Someone asked anxiously.

"I think that if he just came to investigate the historical facts, things would be easier. We just need to help him find out the historical facts as soon as possible. Naturally, he has no reason to stay here, and naturally he doesn't need to guard against us anymore. , will bring the child back.”

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "However, I can't decide on this matter alone. It's better to wait for the leader to come and discuss it with everyone before making a decision...By the way, County Magistrate Bing, you have never had a bad relationship with that Taishi Ling surnamed Wu. Bar?"

"That's not true. He probably doesn't know my position yet."

Bing Li replied solemnly.

"Maybe I have already guessed one or two by now."

The old man went on to say, "But since he wants to investigate the historical facts in Qu County, he can never skip us, so even though he has kidnapped these children, he still needs someone to negotiate with us, so that he can do what he wants. He is the best candidate, not to mention that he has already captured the children, and there is no need to take you as a hostage anymore... So I want you to follow up and find out their whereabouts. In the future, he will negotiate with us, or we If you want to negotiate with him, at least you know where to go."

"Then I'll go."

Bing Li agreed without hesitation.

……

"Wow--!"

"Mother, I want mother!"

"Let go of me, mother—"

"..."

At this moment, there was a commotion in the Huan army, and the crying of a dozen or so half-grown children should not be underestimated. The Huan army is almost all men, and they don't know how to fight back.

"Sir, this..."

Yang Wanli scratched his head helplessly and came to ask Wu Liang for help.

Wu Liangfang was the first to say that these children can't be beaten, and they have to be careful when they scold them. This is a bit embarrassing for this group of men who have basically never raised children.

"Give each of them a few pieces of dried meat, and they will naturally shut their mouths."

Wu Liangzhi beckoned.

The most immediate way to coax children is to eat delicious food. Later generations usually use candy. Not only is there no candy in this era, but honey is also an extremely precious thing. In addition, the soldiers will not wait for messy snacks when they go to war. Dried meat can be used.

Fortunately, in this era of lack of supplies, poor people can't eat meat a few times in their lives, and dried meat is rare and delicious for them.

"promise."

Yang Wanli heard the words and quickly followed suit.

really.

Holding a few pieces of jerky in their hands, the young children immediately calmed down and gnawed on the jerky with their noses soaking. They ate the two together without knowing it, and all enjoyed it.

But when they looked at the Huren Army soldiers, they were still a little scared, and they didn't know whether they were afraid of being beaten by the Huren Army soldiers, or because they were afraid that the Turen Army soldiers would snatch the meat in their hands.

"Wu Taishi, I wonder how you plan to deal with these children?"

At some point, the witch Hu had already come to Wu Liang on her own initiative, and while looking at the group of children, she frowned and asked Wu Liang.

"It doesn't matter much, as I said just now, as long as those people don't embarrass me anymore, I will naturally feed these young children well, and send them back unharmed in the end."

Wu Liang smiled.

"But you..."

The witch glanced at the overwhelmed Huren soldiers again, and said, "These children don't need to be adult prisoners, your people don't know how to take care of these children, they not only need to eat, but also need to shit. To pee, to sleep, to play, as long as one of them cries, all of them will cry, and..."

"..."

Hearing this, Wu Liang started to feel dizzy.

It's because he didn't think carefully. He only thought about these young children. Besides, humans and animals have the same instinct to lick calf and love. Taking them down is easier to make those people jealous. It's a pity that as a man who has never brought up a baby However, Wu Liang never considered other difficulties from the beginning to the end.

In fact, he should have thought a long time ago that the experience of raising human cubs is everywhere on the Internet, which can even constitute a bloody and tearful history of killing without blood.

"and also……"

The priestess continued to speak.

"Enough is enough."

Wu Liang quickly stopped the witch, and then looked at her with great interest, "Hiss... Hu girl, it seems that you have a lot of experience in this area."

"The shrine often takes in some orphans, and these orphans will serve the shrine when they grow up. I have taken care of younger children since I was very young, so I have some experience."

Witch Hu obviously didn't realize what Wu Liang was planning.

"In that case, I entrust this matter to you!"

Wu Liang said resolutely, seeing that Miko Ho seemed to be a little bit critical, he immediately added, "I came here to help you find Xu Fu's whereabouts in the Wa Kingdom, and that's why I encountered this and had to act like this, so as a Maiden of the Japanese country, you also have a certain responsibility for this matter, since I helped you, you should naturally do what you can, this is only fair, otherwise why should I help you?"

"..."

The witch was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Has anyone ever told you that you are despicable and shameless?"

"They all said it."

Wu Liang waved his hand and drew a circle in the air, drawing all the backbone of the Tuan army in it, with a complacent expression that he was not ashamed but proud.

"I can promise you... But now I am very suspicious. Although you keep saying that you are helping our country, if you really find the whereabouts of Qin Zhixu Jun, or find something related to Qin Zhixu Jun, you Will you allow me to bring it back to Wa Kingdom?"

The witch frowned.

"I guarantee with my personality, absolutely will!"

Wu Liang immediately patted his chest and said.

"Your mean and shameless personality?"

The witch squinted.

"Miss Hu, it's easy to lose friends if you talk like this, and as an envoy of the Wa country, if you speak rudely to officials of another country, it may cause disputes between the two countries. Please pay attention to your identity, and be careful in your words and deeds."

Wu Liang straightened his face again in an instant, and said to the witch seriously.

"..."

Miko Hu actually already had the answer in her heart, and she already had her own ideas. Although she was reluctant, she still chose a more compromise way and said, "At the very least, you should allow me to ask Qin Zhi in person. Xu Jun's idea, or allow me to copy or copy the things left by Qin Zhixu Jun."

"It's a deal, hurry up, the child is about to cry again, you go and see first."

Wu Liang nodded happily, and then forcibly pushed her towards the group of children.

Watching the shrine maiden walking towards the back of the group of children.

Wu Liang's gaze gradually deepened. There are certain things that he would never allow Miko to take away, even if it was a transcribed or copied version...

……

Bing Li, the magistrate of Quxian County, finally caught up with the Liren army.

The Zunren Army had already walked thirty miles away, Bing Li called out twice from behind, although the Zunren Army soldiers recognized him, but did not let him go easily, and he was allowed to go up only after Wu Liang agreed and searched his body. forward.

"Magistrate Bing, why did you come in such a hurry?"

Wu Liang asked knowingly, he had indeed suspected that Bing Li was on the side of that group before, and seeing Bing Li chasing after him now confirmed his suspicion.

"I've met Wu Taishi, and just now Wu Taishi left without saying goodbye. After learning about it, Bing hurried over to see him off."

Bing Li quickly said with a smile.

"If Bing County Magistrate wants to talk like this, I have nothing to say to Bing County Magistrate. Thank you Bing County Magistrate for your kindness. If I have the opportunity to treat you to a drink, please go back."

Wu Liang immediately turned cold, turned around and issued the order to evict the guest.

"Wu Taishi wait a minute."

Finally, Bing Li didn't dare to play sloppy with Wu Liang anymore, and quickly stopped him and said, "Actually, Bing came here to intercede with Wu Taishi at the request of those villagers. I wonder if Wu Taishi can give Bing some face..."

"No delivery."

Wu Liang said coldly.

"Wu Taishi, please stop."

Bing Li had no choice but to laugh and said, "It seems that Wu Taishi already knew, so Bing said frankly that those villagers are indeed the family members of the group on Yuzhou Mountain, and Bing lives in the county. After being settled down, he turned a blind eye to what they were doing, but there was nothing he could do about it. Since Bing took office, he had repeatedly written to the prefect of the county to explain the situation here, but even the prefect was helpless. And Bing is just a small county magistrate, so he is even more powerless, and sometimes he has to compromise with them on some things, otherwise the county government would have been taken away by them long ago... But Bing did not collude with them, otherwise They also wouldn’t specifically inform Prefect Wu about the band of yellow scarf thieves on Yuzhou Mountain, the original intention was to hope Prefect Wu would leave quickly and not run into them.”

Hearing this, Wu Liangcai finally turned around, looked Bing Li up and down and asked: "Then according to Bing County Magistrate's opinion, how should this matter be properly resolved?"

"In Bing's opinion, if Wu Taishi still wants to investigate the historical facts in Qu County, he must never return these children."

Bing Li said solemnly, "To tell you the truth, Wu Taishi, one of the children you took hostage just now is actually the only son of the leader of that gang of yellow scarf thieves. If you don't return them for a day, the yellow scarf bandits will not dare to act recklessly."
