Chapter 36
On the Shangyuan Festival, the Public Security County Government had another day off, but Jiang Wan was not at all happy.

Ever since I went to Liu Jingzhou's banquet on the Spring Festival, people around me seem to be pointing at me more and more.

But when Jiang Wan watched intently, everyone was in peace.

In addition, another change is that there are not many jobs left even more.

"Are you going to send me a more difficult errand, or are you going to send me back to Lingling's hometown?"

Jiang Wan didn't accept these two possibilities very much. Now that the position of Shu Zuo is just to copy the official documents, the rest of the time is spent watching birds and flowers sitting by the door and watching the people hawking. It is very leisurely and comfortable.

Although Lingling is the hometown, it is quite troublesome to do things. When going in and out, you have to flatter and flatter the prefect, and the police came because they couldn't bear it.

As for the promotion... Jiang Wan thought of the name Zhuge Liang, and pain climbed up his handsome face.

It is said that the daily copying volume of the three clerks in Jiang Wan’s residence is only half an hour’s office work for the military adviser general, so it went to him...

I sighed again, but I still have to watch it during the Lantern Festival.

It is said that Xudu or Luoyang Chang'an have the habit of decorating lanterns and festoons today, but Gong'an County does not have these, but a few peddlers made their own pale paper lanterns, with the two vicious door gods Shentu and Yulei crookedly painted on them.

Jiang Wan walked over without squinting, he was going to see Qu Nuo.

A stage had already been set up in front of the county mansion, surrounded by densely packed crowds, Jiang Wan took advantage of her eight-foot figure and good vision, squeezed into a place with a good view, and laughed "ha" when she looked around.

He saw that Ma Youchang, who was talking at the banquet, was wearing a crooked Nuo hat and was talking to Zhuge Liang, who was three points more handsome than himself, with a bitter expression on his face.

As time passed, more and more people gathered here, and even the roofs were full of people, all waiting eagerly, without any open space.

It's a good thing you came early!
Jiang Wan was very happy.

As the sun officially disappeared behind the mountain, all the bonfire torches around the platform were also lit, and the surrounding area was as bright as day for a while, and the people became solemn.

Jiang Wan saw that Ma Youchang held back all his strength and shouted in a drawn out voice:

"Be prepared, please follow the epidemic—"

Dozens of men and women came to the stage solemnly, wearing various masks, and stepping on tiptoe barefoot in wonderful Nuo steps.

One of them, a tall bronze grimacing man, yelled, and the others sang along:
"...A's food is vicious, Yuefu's stomach eats tigers, Xiongbo eats charms, Tengjian eats ominous, blames all food, Boqi eats dreams!"

"Qiang Liang and Zu Ming eat phosphorus together, parasitize death, rely on the concept of food, wrongly cut off food giants, Qiongqi, and Tenggen eat Gu together! All the twelve gods..."

The surrounding people also sang along in low voices, and Jiang Wan also sang softly together, beating the time.

This is the exorcism song most familiar to the people of the Han Dynasty. It is sung in the hope that Jia Zuoxiong Boteng Jian Boqi and other twelve divine beasts will eat up twelve kinds of plagues.

After singing like this twice, the people on the stage wearing the masks of the twelve gods and beasts were also chasing other ghost masked people, and finally expelled the people with the plague ghost masks to the audience, and cheers broke out among the people.

After the epidemic was over, some masked men and women climbed up the stage again, led by the bronze ghost mask again, this time with a different libretto:
"...Go to carry Liu Jun to be angry, and the Chibi is full of fire and smoke...then the country will be settled in peace, and the Han Dynasty will last forever..."

"Because the Taibao appeases his anger, the good god protects Jiangyuan, Jingzhou is clean and peaceful, the emperor Weiqu is beside the river...everything is sexy and congratulates the prefect, as long as the year before last."

The public didn't understand it, but they could hear that Liu Jingzhou had won the battle before and protected everyone from Cao's bandits.

So many people hummed along.

In front of the county government, Kong Ming and Guan Yu were standing together watching Qu Nuo, Guan Yu squeezed his beard and said softly:
"I didn't expect the third brother to have such skills."

"The voice of the three generals is like a bell, and they are the best candidates." Kong Ming said.

The two looked at Zhang Fei who was wearing a bronze ghost mask on the stage, and they could tell that Zhang Fei was also very excited to play.

"Is it possible to just send Zilong to protect elder brother?" Guan Yu asked this question after hesitation.

"Sun Hou is a sincere friend, and General Guan is at ease." Kong Ming explained:

"Furthermore, General Zilong's 'Variety Horse Yicong' is no less powerful than the White Horse Yicong. It comes and goes like the wind, and the lord will certainly not be in danger of his life."

"And..." Maybe it's not good to say so, but Kong Ming still said:
"Furthermore, Zhou Gongjin planned Jing Yi with a sick body, but the sky is never a holiday, and she is jealous of talents. How can such a desperate plan come to fruition?"

There are still some hidden things that I didn't say, that is, in Kong Ming's view, the moment Zhou Gongjin received Lu Su's secret letter, it was impossible for Zhou Gongjin's plan to succeed.

Even though the governor of Zhou was talented and scheming, but Sun Quan was hesitant, lacking the ambition of a fierce hero like Sun Ce.

Thinking of Sun Ce, Lu Su who died of illness at the age of 40, and Zhou Yu whose lifespan was counting down, Kong Ming sighed.

In this place in Jiangdong, is it true that talents are short-lived?
"There is one more thing, please pay attention to General Guan." Kong Ming said softly: "Mrs. Sun is new here, she must be domineering."

Kong Ming is already planning the next thing:
"As for deterring Mrs. Sun, I also ask General Guan and General Zhang to make a plan or two, so as to keep the lord's back house clean."

"Sister-in-law, this..." Guan Yu was very hesitant, isn't this appropriate?

"Sunhou's backstab in the battle of Xiangfan." Kong Ming suddenly said something irrelevant:

"For ten years, Sun Hou sat and watched the lord take Jing Yi and Hanzhong. It was not until General Guan fought in Xiangfan that Sun Hou stabbed him in the back."

Speaking of this matter, Guan Yu's face is very ugly. He has no regrets when he died at the hands of a hero, but he was defeated by the actions of such a villain...

"After taking Xiangfan, in the words of the auspicious light curtain, it's like putting a knife between Cao's neck."

"But the knife was also placed on Sun Hou's neck. Such actions caused the alliance to break down."

"From this point of view, it seems that Sun Hou is quite afraid of the lord."

"Therefore, General Guan is free to do whatever he wants, as long as he does not exceed the etiquette."

Recently studying the discourse of the light curtain, Kong Ming also gained a new understanding of the word contradiction, and he also had a clear understanding of Sun Quan's situation.

Even though Zhou Yu was the one whom Sun Ce entrusted to his orphans at the end of his life, Sun Hou did not fully believe in Zhou Yu. He was born in Jianghuai.

Sun Hou, it seems that everyone believes it, but no one believes it.

To Sun Hou, Sun Shangxiang is just a chess piece that can be summoned to come and go.

Perhaps, there is also the meaning of wanting to monitor the interior of Gong'an County through her?
On the stage, the lyrics Zhang Feiqi sang has changed to the third paragraph:

"...The ghosts of the old age are expelled from other rivers in the territory. Cattle and sheep are everywhere, and the grain and wheat are like Tianzhu Mountain. Brothers and brothers are obedient, and sisters-in-law are connected."

"Men and women respect each other, fathers and sons are united for generations... All sons and sons are in unison, wishing that Peng Zu will be in the same year."

This time Jiang Wan cheered and sang loudly with the crowd, trying to let the gods and ghosts hear their best wishes for the new year.

During this time, some people were weeping softly, Ah Lang and father...maybe he can rest in peace?
Looking at the people whose faces were shining with bright flames, Kong Ming suddenly had an interesting question in his heart:

"Marquis Sun...do you know the injury of Governor Zhou?"
