Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 106
Zhao Ran was arrested.

There are village elders in the village, and there are pavilion leaders in the pavilion.

The role of these two is probably the township head and the head of the police station.

Therefore, as a township government office, Suiting has thieves and guards.

In normal times, Zhao Ran, as a descendant of the Zhao family in Anzhong, a rich family in the county, would be treated a little bit less favorably by everyone.

But the person he provoked had a deeper background, the Xinye Deng family.

Although the Deng family in Xinye declined, in the past two years, with Deng Mao serving as the county magistrate and Deng Hong serving as Liu Biao, it has gradually grown.

In particular, Deng Hong also married Cai Zan's daughter. Although Cai Mao is currently the head of the Cai family, Cai Zan and Cai Yan are also his brothers, and they are compatriots with the same mother as Mrs. Cai.

Therefore, even if Cai Hao wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, he had to be concerned about Liu Biao's attitude and his younger brother's face, because he had a different stand from Shen Chen, and it was impossible to really send someone to mess with him.

So on the official level, it was obvious that Deng Hong and Liu Xian, the two Liu Biao sent to the platform, were doing more work. Naturally, the robbers would not get used to Zhao Ran and send him to Xiangyang County for false accusation.

of course.

Due to his family background, even if Zhao Ran was really locked up, he wouldn't be locked up for too long.It's probably just a show, and it will come out in a few months.

But even so, it was a declaration of Shen Chen's not only a moral victory, but also a moral victory.

Now that the truth of the matter came to light, the surrounding villagers applauded and praised Shen Chen's conduct.

"I said that Shen Xiaolang wouldn't do this, it must be a false accusation."

"That's natural. Shen Xiaolang has lived in our Longzhong Township for two or three months. Who doesn't praise his character?"

"For fear of causing misunderstanding, I would rather give my pigs and belongings to others, and return them after others find them. This kind of character is really great. I am also willing to put my son under his door to study."

"More than that, he is also worried that the villagers will lose their belongings. I am afraid that life will not be very good this year. Such a benevolent little man can also read very well. No one can compare to him."

"It's a good thing that there is such a virtuous person in our township. If we encounter any injustice in the future, we may find him to judge."

The villagers talked a lot and praised Shen Chen for his conduct.

This is also a reassurance for parents who come to send their children to study.

Thinking that he did not misunderstand the person, and handed over his child to him, he felt relieved.

In fact, this is also human nature. The public opinion environment at that time started in the countryside, and then slowly spread to the surrounding areas.

For example, Qingzhou celebrities Wang Lie, Wang Xiu, Bing Yuan and others were famous in the village at first, and then became known to the world.

Like Cheng Yu, who simply kills all the people from his hometown to make meat jerky, so that the elders in his hometown can't evaluate his reputation. After all, there are only a small number of people.

So the word-of-mouth of the villagers near the place where you live is actually very important to you, which is why Shen Chen gave Zhao Huazhu and Du Lao coins as gifts.

Some people think that this behavior is like a fool, and they also call it a kind of degrading behavior.

That only shows that you don't understand the Han Dynasty.

There is a poem by Cao Zhi called "The Way of a Gentleman", which reads, "A gentleman takes precautions and stays out of doubt. The melon field does not accept shoes, and Li Xia does not take the crown".

This is the origin of the famous idiom "Guatian Lixia", which means don't do things that arouse suspicion.

When Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, just moved from Yingchuan to Xiangyang, because he was a famous scholar in Yingchuan, Jingzhou scholars knew him, but the local villagers didn’t know him very well, so he had some conflicts with the local people. Misunderstand.

At that time, the villagers near his home lost a pig and saw that his pig looked exactly like his own, so they said that Sima Hui's pig was the one he lost.

In order to avoid suspicion and arouse criticism from the local villagers, Sima Hui gave up his pigs to this person.

A few days later, the man found the lost pig again, hurriedly returned Sima Hui's pig, and kowtowed to blame himself.Instead of scolding him, Sima Hui thanked him for sending his pig back. Since then, his virtue has spread to the countryside.

Is Sima Hui wrong in this matter?
Of course it is.

But the pigs in his family are exactly the same as the pigs in the villager's house where the pig was lost, so it will arouse suspicion.So Sima Hui gave the pig to the villagers in order to dispel this suspicion and misunderstanding.

This is the so-called "the melon field does not accept the shoes, and the plums do not have the crown". Once there is doubt in the hearts of the people, cracks will appear.

So when a gentleman does things, he has to find a way to eliminate even this kind of doubt.

The same is true for Shen Chen.

He and Zhuge Liang were wandering around the surrounding countryside in a carriage. At that time, people didn't know his character, so when Zhao Hua threw a pig, someone saw Shen Chen's guards taking a pig back. His guards were also seen herding horses by the river.

So everyone would instinctively have such suspicions, thinking that maybe he stole Zhao Hua's pig, and his horse ate Uncle Du's wheat grain.

Since this kind of suspicion and misunderstanding may cause him to lose his reputation among the people in the surrounding countryside and make people criticize him morally, Shen Chen's response method is the same as Sima Hui's, choosing to return the pig. Gift coins.

Afterwards, the truth came to light, and the people in the surrounding countryside naturally knew what kind of person Shen Chen was.If he appeared at the scene of the crime again in the future, he would naturally not be suspected.

Moreover, this incident not only spread Shen Chen's reputation to the countryside, but also because he debated with Jingzhou scholars and easily defeated them, so that the surrounding people also affirmed his talent and learning, thinking that he is a well-read poet. , a talented young man.

With this understanding, everyone is naturally willing to entrust their children to him for education, and believe that as his fame spreads, more people will send their children to his academy in the future.

"Let's go, go back and report to your parents and teachers."

Hu Shang watched Zhao Ran being taken away, and the students who came to make trouble naturally got into the carriage and left in despair. Before leaving, they all gave Shen Chen a very unwilling look.

But they have nothing to do, they can't compare with the scriptures, and they are not as good as others when talking about current affairs. Even personal attacks, starting from the moral aspect, are easily resolved by others.

They really have no other tricks, they can only go back and report the situation to the parents, and tell the parents, teachers and others what happened here one by one.

Soon the carriages took them away. When they came, they were proud and arrogant, and they were all powerful families in the counties. When they left, they were despised by the surrounding villagers and lost face.

After they left, Shen Chen bowed to the surrounding villagers, and then dealt with the affairs of Zhao Hua and Old Man Du.

Different from Xiao Da who has also been taken away, Xiao Da is a scoundrel who took money to deliberately frame Shen Chen, while Zhao Hua and Old Uncle Du belonged to a cause.

Zhao Hua had long suspected that Shen Chen's pig did not belong to him, but he was not sure and said to put Shen Chen's pig with him for the time being, and return it when he found it, which showed that he was actually an upright person.

Uncle Du guessed that his wheat valley might be called by wild boars, but after all, there were some horseshoe prints on the ridge.

Although Qibashi Maigu contains more than 100 kilograms of wheat, no matter how much two horses can eat, the old man is worried that there will be insufficient food this year, and people at home may starve to death. Shen Chen's horse is related.

So the two of them are not morally corrupt, but one is a misunderstanding, and the other has a certain interest concern. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, both of them blamed themselves very much, and immediately found Shen Chen to apologize.

Shen Chen forgave them, and took the wild pork they gave as a gift. Wild pork was actually not as expensive as domestic pork at the time, but after all, there were more than a dozen of them. Even if half of them were distributed to Shen Chen, the other half would weigh at least four to five hundred catties. Selling is more than enough to make up for the loss of the two.

Everyone was happy with this matter, Zhao Hua and Old Uncle Du happily took their brothers and heirs to the market to sell, while Shen Chen asked people to take the pork to be marinated at home and made into smoked bacon, which he could eat alone Not so much.

After everything was settled, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Wang Can, Pan Jun and other scholars who came to see the excitement came up.

"Brother Zhongxuan, Brother Chengming, Brother Yuanzhi, Brother Zhouping"

Shen Chen saluted them one by one.

Wang Can sighed: "I was a little worried about you at first, but now it seems that I am supercilious."

Shen Chen thanked and said: "Since I entered the academy, it was brother Zhongxuan who helped and sheltered me, so that I am here today. This kindness is unforgettable."

Wang Can said with a smile: "You have grown up and have your own ideas. Although we think differently from you, as the saying goes, only by advocating opinions can a business be established; as a rule for all generations, some ideas are compatible and inclusive. But we've always been friends."

"Thank you brother."

Shen Chen thanked him again, the master's position was different from his, and it was not easy not to come and make trouble, not to mention that the teacher and fellow disciples still recognized him, maybe this is the ancient way of mentoring and fellowship.

"Let's go, come to the academy to see us in the future, or sometimes we will come to see you too."

Wang Can, Pan Jun and others left.

Shen Chen bid farewell again.

After they left, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Cui Jun, Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others also came up.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "Ah Chen, you are amazing. I have nothing to say when I refute these Xiangyang scholars, so I can only flee in despair. Their talents and learning are admirable."

Shen Chen hurriedly said: "Brother, I'm over-reputed. It's just because I'm sitting upright that they can't criticize me. Brothers, your talents and learning are ten times better than mine, and your morals are ten times higher than mine. Small things, what's the point? hang your teeth."

When Pang Tong was young, he was quite dull, taciturn, and didn't look very smart, but he still praised: "Your talent and learning are like a steed, with the power of a thousand miles, and you will definitely do something in the future."

"Thank you, Brother Ah Tong."

Shen Chen cupped his hands and said: "You brothers are also resourceful people, but Jingzhou people don't know it. If the situation changes in the future, I believe that you brothers will have the ability to help the universe."

This is flattering each other. When others give you face, you can’t really feel that you are invincible. People still need humility to make friends.

Although in Jingzhou he was already full of enemies and offended those capitulators, and even Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, the two highest-ranking factions in power, didn't like him very much, but the great man once said that he should make many friends, Make the enemy a little less.

Now celebrities all over the world think that Cao Cao is a loyal minister because he flatters the emperor, but after the Yidai Zhao, Cao Cao killed the queen, the uncle and the prince, there are always a few like Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong who can see his true colors clearly People will stand on the side of the emperor's uncle and come to help the Han Dynasty together.

So it is very important to have a good relationship with them at this time.

After the two parties flattered each other, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and the others bid farewell to Shen Chen, who sent them to Ting Dong before returning.

When they got home, Deng Hong and Liu Xian walked over.

Deng Hong happily patted Shen Chen on the shoulder and said, "Ah Chen, I knew you could defeat them. In the future, let's see if these people dare to talk behind our backs that we are traitors who violate the imperial court."

"Is anyone talking behind your back?"

Shen Chen asked.

Deng Hong sighed: "Yes, they say that Cao Cao conquered Nanyang in the name of the emperor, but we want to go north to stop it. This is an act of disloyalty."

Shen Chen sneered and said: "They only dare to say behind their backs, if in front of Liu Shijun, I am afraid that Shijun will be furious."

"That's true."

Deng Hong also laughed.

As a minority faction in Jingzhou, he is also under great pressure, even his father-in-law's elder brother is not in the same faction as him.

But he is in the same camp as Liu Biao, the ruler in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao didn't want to be attached to Cao Cao, he had great ambitions, and he still had a dream of becoming emperor in his heart.

Therefore, no matter how happy the capitulation faction was, they could only find trouble with Shen Chen. To find Liu Biao was to seek their own death.

Liu Xian sighed at this time: "Today I watched Ah Chen's debate, and his talents and learning are excellent. My sister stopped Bu Yi from coming, which is really short-sighted. After returning, I will personally send him to study with you, Ah Chen. "

Shen Chen thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Shizong."

After Zhou Buyi followed him down the mountain at the beginning of the year, because Zhuge Xuan happened to die of illness, Shen Chen hurried over, and Zhou Buyi stayed at home all the time.

Later, after Zhuge Xuan's funeral was finished, Shen Chen also sent someone to Liu Xian's mansion to inquire about the situation, but the answer he received was that Zhou Buyi would not come.

This made Shen Chen feel a little regretful.

But it was only recently that I found out that it wasn't that Zhou Buyi didn't come, but that his mother didn't want him to come, so she kept him at home and wanted to send him to Xianshan Academy to study.

It wasn't that his mother knew that the Jingzhou Surrenderers were powerful and didn't want Zhou Buyi to get involved with Shen Chen.

But Shen Chen was only 12 years old.

When any mother in later generations sees two teachers when sending her child to school, one is a national-level professor and the other is a junior high school student, she will choose the former with her toes.

So Zhou Buyi's mother certainly didn't want her child to study with an unknown person.

Song Zhong is a famous Confucian who is well-known all over the world. It is the best choice for Zhou Buyi to stay in Xianshan Academy and learn knowledge from the great Confucian.

However, Liu Xian saw that Shen Chen was debating today, and he almost memorized the Seven Classics backwards. He could speak any allusions easily, and even the "Three Biography of Spring and Autumn", which had a lot of words, could talk so thoroughly, which naturally made him approve of Shen Chen. He planned to go back and persuade his younger sister to send Zhou Buyi to study.

This is also a good thing for Shen Chen.

Deng Hong and Liu Xian chatted with Shen Chen for a while before leaving and going back. They also need to report today's events to Liu Biao.

For those capitulators, Liu Biao had to exercise restraint in many places. Even if he guessed that those who persuaded him to surrender to Cao Cao might be led by his cronies Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, he could not tell.But it is also a happy thing for Liu Biao to see them deflated now.

After they left, only Shen Chen, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun and some villagers were left on the scene. After thanking the villagers, Shen Chen and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

From today, at least in the matter of Liyan, there has been a good start.

But don't be careless.

These people are just the first wave of temptation.

The real celebrity hasn't shown up yet.

For example, Wang Junying, Rong Weixi and others wrote a letter against Liu Biao's yin with Yuan Shao and asked him to belong to Cao Cao.

So the real trouble is yet to come.

　I went to watch the game in the morning, today is still good, I won a big victory, I hope LPL will continue to work hard.Try to code in the afternoon, it may be late, don't worry.In addition, my collection has reached 7777 today, and the will of 7 is everywhere.
