Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 404 Crowd
Originally, with the heads of Zhang Yuan and other gentry children falling to the ground, the incidents caused by Song Bin's incident have subsided. The power of the new law has been established, the anger of Song Xian and other generals has disappeared, and the influence of the gentry is also It was imperceptibly weakened again, and Lu Bu didn't intend to continue to investigate further.

Even if there were other things, Chu Nan would not pay too much attention to them.

However, Zhang Yi's suicidal surrender brought another wave to the already subdued matter, and if the last time it was only the members of the gentry, then this time it was the core members, not limited to the younger generation, but the ascendant. It's official!

Zhao Wen didn't look for Lu Bu or Chen Gong this time. He figured out that in Xuchang City, Lu Bu was the most powerful, but it was Chu Nan who had the most useful words, so he went directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Ziyan, we have already backed down on this matter, why are we still aggressive? Are we really going to kill all these old guys like me!?" Seeing Chu Nan, Zhao Wen went straight to the point. He knew that Chu Nan was eloquent, the kind who would be mad at others, so he might as well be more frank.

"Situ Gong's words are interesting, why back down?" Chu Nan glanced at Zhao Wen curiously, shook his head and sighed: "It's better to call it helpless, some things, he always has to pay back, Situ Gong, you I just want to talk about whether these criminal evidences are convincing, did the Ministry of Punishments fabricate them? If so, I can ask Man Chong to come and confront Situ Gong."

Zhao Wen hesitated, and then sighed: "Whoever has no faults, Ziyan can guarantee that you will always be without faults?"

"I can't." Chu Nan shook his head: "But you have to have a bottom line in life. In troubled times, life is indeed worthless, but there are places. You are all virtuous people. You have to bear as much burden as you receive. If morality is not matched, there will be disasters, and I think it is most appropriate to use it at this time."

"Ziyan..." Zhao Wen wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"I don't have such acquaintance with Mr. Situ yet. Mr. Situ is just like them. Call me Mr. Ling." Chu Nan took a sip from his glass and said calmly.

Zhao Wen was stunned when he heard the words, he is Situ, no matter in terms of rank, age, or fame, it is no problem to address Chu Nan with his name, but it is not suitable for Hu Lingjun. Although there is no explicit order, but Chu Nan asked so It's already a little rude.

"Lingjun, if this goes on like this, there will be no one to use in the court." Zhao Wen took a deep breath and said to Chu Nan.

"Mr. Situ is worrying too much. In fact, there is no need for so many people in the court, especially at this time. The more people who decide important matters, the harder it is to make decisions. It's okay to be less. As long as the grassroots are not chaotic, it will There are only a dozen people left in the court and nothing will happen." Chu Nan shook his head, looked at Zhao Wen and said with a smile: "I know, it's rude for you to call me Ling Jun, but I did it anyway. , do you know why?"

"I just want to humiliate the old man, as long as Ling Jun is willing to stop, the old man is willing to suffer this humiliation!" Zhao Wen said coldly.

"Don't pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring, you are not worthy!" Chu Nan glanced at him: "I still want to call you Lord Situ, just to respect that you are older than me, so that you can be called a king, but you are not worthy I respect."

Zhao Wen glared at Chu Nan.

"I didn't want to ask about this matter, but since Master Situ is here today, I will make it clear to you that the effect I want for this matter has been achieved. Even if you don't come to ask, this matter will be considered over. The criminal evidence is not in my hands, and I didn't know about it before." Chu Nan looked at him and said, "It was sent by Zhang Yi."

When Zhao Wen heard this, a shadow flashed in his eyes.

"Being counted by an inconspicuous little person, how do you feel?" Chu Nan looked at Zhao Wen and said with a smile: "You can't be too extreme. Zhang Yi must die. If he doesn't die, this matter will never be over, but it can I killed it, but it should never be you. You can say that he is not a member of the gentry, which is also reasonable, but since he is not Situ Gong's minion, he should not let him sacrifice for you, and even coerce him. My son is dead, no matter how many tricks you have, you will be dead on both sides, why should you be afraid of threats from you?"

Zhao Wen didn't speak, Chu Nan got up and said: "So, Mr. Situ, you are the leader, you are destined to be just a mob, you can deal with your own people, but to the outside world, you can't do big things, I won't To become one with you, Dong Zhuo is the best example, but it is also very difficult for you to be my enemy. This face is not that I don’t give it to you, but you threw it on the ground yourself;
This incident was reported by Zhang Yi. Since the Ministry of Criminal Justice has accepted it and the evidence is convincing, it must be handled according to the rules. I will not care about the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. If you have the ability to make Man Chong let go, then go, but don’t find me!You and I are different, celebrity! "

After finishing speaking, ignoring Zhao Wen's livid face, Chu Nan walked straight out. This is his territory, but he really didn't want to stay with such an opponent who was not considered an opponent.

"Chu Lingjun!" Zhao Wen got up, his face still ugly, but he still said to Chu Nan: "The dog's crime is not worthy of death!"

"The Ministry of Punishment has its own decision on this matter. Mr. Situ shouldn't have come to tell me that he can't help you." Chu Nan was a little impatient.

"Lingjun, aren't you afraid that I will take a risk!?" Zhao Wen looked at Chu Nan and gritted his teeth.

"I have been assassinated thousands of times since I followed my father-in-law. Although I have no evidence for collaborating with the enemy, I believe that Master Situ has been doing it all the time. The way of the nobles will not work here, and..." Chu Nan looked at Zhao Wen sighed and said: "If you have a big family and a big career, don't say these naive words. It's just making people laugh. Your nine clans won't let you do anything foolish."

After finishing speaking, ignore him and go straight to another place, leaving Wang Zifu and others to entertain him.

"Mr. Situ, there is nothing we can do about this matter." After Chu Nan left, Wang Zifu and Zhong Ji came over, looked at Zhao Wen's downcast look, and sighed.

Although the two of them are in charge of the household affairs department, in the end, they are just helping out. Although Chu Nan does not do much, the decision-making power rests with Chu Nan. The two of them seem to have power, but in fact they are empty airs , fledgling, dare not openly disobey Chu Nan's order.

Besides, this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment. It is strange to say that the Ministry of Households is almost all their own people, but the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry have no own people at all. Their words can only be used in the Ministry of Households. In the Ministry of Criminal Justice, no one paid any attention to them.

Zhao Wen sighed, and didn't say anything more. Chu Nan seemed easy to talk, but in fact he was the most difficult to talk. He glanced at Wang Zifu and sighed, "You two, find another way out."

"What does Mr. Situ mean by that?" Wang Zifu was startled, looking at Zhao Wen and asked.

"The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, and even the Ministry of Rites are all like these two people, but this Ministry of Households is all there. Chu Ziyan is a man with deep scheming and insightful eyes. How could he not investigate?" Zhao Wen sighed. One thing, he only realized it when he came to the household department today.

With Chu Nan's shrewdness, how could there be spies around him but none of them noticed, at least the two in front of him, Chu Nan didn't believe their position, but they were the most important ones.

Chu Nan employs people, and he also knows his background, but it is the opposite of others. From this point of view, Chu Nan should not use these two people; it's just that they are in the middle of the game, and they haven't noticed this. In fact, Zhao It was only after Chu Nan ruthlessly talked about the matter today that he became aware of Chu Nan's employment methods.

Zhang Yi is the best example. Although he betrayed, this is just an example.

Ignoring the two people who were stunned on the spot, Zhao Wen left the Household Office directly, did not go to the jail, and did not go home, but came to Xun Yu's mansion. This time he did not bring Kong Rong, but came by himself.

"Mr. Situ?" Xun Yu looked at Zhao Wen with some surprise. There was a lot of commotion in Xuchang City in the past few days. Xun Yu naturally knew about it, but what did Zhao Wen come here for?

"Wen Ruo, I want to ask Wen Ruo for help with something." Zhao Wen sat down at Xun Yu's invitation, looked at Xun Yu and sighed.

"Mr. Situ, although Bo Ning and I have served Duke Cao together, but Bo Ning is different from others. Love and righteousness are separated." Xun Yu shook his head. If possible, he would naturally be willing to come forward. But he knows that at least here in Manchong, private affairs can't mess up his judgment on business affairs, let alone affect his decision.

"The old man knows, but this time the old man didn't come here for this matter. The old man wants to ask Wen Ruo for advice, or to ask Wen Ruo to return to the court." Zhao Wen said, recounting the conversation with Chu Nan today.

He was indeed hit. If Chu Nan was just spraying randomly, he would have laughed it off. However, what Chu Nan said was the truth, which made the sixty-year-old man unacceptable. At the same time, he realized that he was not suitable to be the leader of this noble family. The sheep need a more capable person to come out.

"Whether I enter the court or not, the ending will not change in any way. You will not believe me, let alone use my tricks." Xun Yu sighed helplessly.

"Wen Ruo might as well talk about it." Zhao Wen looked at Xun Yu and said.

"Forbearance!" Xun Yu's answer was simple.

"Forbearance? What do you mean?" Zhao Wen frowned.

"Lü Bu's momentum has been achieved. The population, military power, money, food, and people's hearts are already sufficient. Unwilling people in the world have joined him and enriched his wings. Right now, his momentum is like a raging fire cooking oil. It is difficult for others to stop him. If this is the case, we will not compete with him. Dormant silently, accumulating strength and waiting for the right time."

Xun Yu sighed: "The gentry are weak in the middle of the country, and their foundation will not be shaken if they use their strength indiscriminately. Just like this, even if everything goes according to Situ's wish, Lu Bu will lose some people's popularity if he saves Song Bin, but it will not be shaken." As for shaking the root, such a strategy, even if it succeeds a hundred times, it will be difficult to shake its momentum, but as long as it fails once, Situ Gong will be hurt, just like today."

Zhao Wen nodded: "It's hard."

"It's very difficult, so it doesn't matter whether I enter the court or not." Xun Yu sighed softly.

The difficulty has actually been made clear by Chu Nan. Even if he knows this is the best way, but Chu Nan has been weakening the power of the gentry, that is, mobilizing the foundation of the gentry, which is related to their own interests. Most people can't help but resist and take revenge. , and then the strength of the gentry was constantly weakened in the process of contending with it again and again.

There is no one who can integrate the power of the gentry, so the gentry is always a mess in front of Chu Nan, that is, a mob, how can they win?
For the people of the world, what Chu Nan did may be a good thing, but for the scholars, it has to be viewed in reverse.

Xun Yu chose this kind of secluded life just because he found that he could do nothing.

"If Wen Ruo sees it clearly, then Chu Nan is right, the old man...is really not worthy of being an enemy!" Zhao Wen sighed, got up and said goodbye.

In fact, it's not good to be yourself.

Xun Yu sent Zhao Wen out of the house with a smile, looked at his hunched back and shook his head, returned home and lived his own secluded life...
