Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 424 Let's Go Back and Make Arrangements
"Prefect Chen, you are sitting peacefully. You have watched a good show." Seeing everyone coming, Wu Jie shook his head and walked forward with a wry smile. Unexpectedly, the person sitting in this car was really the prefect of Daijun. "I'm here It's Sima and Wu Jie who are under the general's residence. When we enter the city later, I will convey the general's words and then I will apologize to you."

"What crime is Mr. Wu guilty of?" Chen Zhi shook his head and said in a sincere tone: "As the saying goes, he who does not know is not guilty. Mr. Wu came here under orders, and he did not come to target Chen. What order was passed from above? How can I blame you if you execute it like that?”

Wu Jie looked ashamed, but smiled coldly in his heart. He felt that Chen Zhi was just showing off and could not escape his discerning eyes. But on the surface, he quickly expressed his position: "You can't say that, it's because the message is too conveyed." Wait, the general is in trouble too. I can’t blame the general for this order. Governor Chen doesn’t know something. The general asked me to come this time, obviously to hold him accountable, but actually to protect the governor. Because of the verbal reproach, That's all false and will not reduce your real power."

"I see, the general is interested." Chen Zhi nodded, as if he understood very well, and then changed the subject, "Mr. Wu, there is no need to be so polite. We are not in court now, but outside the city. You and I don't have to treat you like this." The position matches the position. I have heard of Mr. Wu's name a long time ago. The battle at Wuhuan Mountain was Mr. Wu's strategy, which allowed our Han Dynasty to win a great victory and shocked the Northeast! It also stopped the two Xianbei tribes from invading the Central Plains. On this point, You have made great achievements, and I also admire you."

A simple sentence with a sincere tone made Wu Jie both proud and wary. Because what Chen Zhi said was exactly what he was proud of, but similarly, when it was publicized to the outside world, there was no How much has been written about him, and the main credit and praise go to Wang Jun. People who don't have an in-depth understanding of it will not mention it at all.

This Chen Zhi has studied the people around the general!He's very familiar with me too!

With this understanding, how could Wu Jie not be vigilant?But he didn't know that Chen Zhi could always remember things he had seen or heard, and there wouldn't be any confusion within a few years. Moreover, he was not pretending to be polite, but sincerely appreciated the matter and saw it. After Wu Jie, he took the opportunity to speak out without any intention of covering up or being polite.

However, Chen Zhi's praise made everyone around him smile at Wu Jie. This made the two soldiers who were embarrassed and uneasy feel relieved and smiled back.

So, in the weird atmosphere, Chen Zhi and Wu Jie made plans to enter the city side by side, but Wu Jie refused repeatedly, but he felt as if he had eaten a fly. Now he just wanted to keep a low profile, publicize the matter quickly, and leave quickly , but Chen Zhi insisted on showing his face, which made Wu Jie feel like he was being roasted on a fire.

Looking at the situation, even the two generals and their own soldiers were relieved and praised Chen Zhi repeatedly for being so open-minded and capable of achieving great things!
However, neither Wu Jie, nor the two soldiers, nor Chen Zhi, Su Liao and Chen Zi, as well as Lu Dao and others who were laughing beside him, never said a word to Zheng Shi from beginning to end, or even She didn't even look at him, as if he didn't exist and what happened at the scene had nothing to do with him.

Even the soldiers guarding the gate quickly retreated, avoiding Zheng Shi as if they were avoiding the plague.

At this scene, the captain of Daijun looked dull, but his heart seemed to have sunk into the abyss, and his legs began to tremble subconsciously. He was thinking about running away, but he was afraid that if he moved, he would attract the attention of others and the situation would become even worse. wonderful.

So, he stood by without saying a word, but he was on pins and needles, just hoping that Chen Zhi and others would finish their words quickly and then enter the city together so that he could escape.

After finally seeing Chen Zhi and Wu Jie becoming polite, they were talking about who should go first, and then they decided on priorities and were about to enter the city. Zheng Shi finally felt relieved and waited for everyone to go in before he hurriedly left. Here, rush home, inform everyone at home, and then find a way to make up for this mistake.

With Wu Jie's warning just now, Zheng Shi did not dare to think about subsequent revenge. Even the general wanted to treat Chen Zhi kindly. Who else in this Youzhou realm could support him?Is it possible to find a barbarian?Even if they are Hu people, the Xiongnu were defeated and disabled a surprising army, and the Xianbei people came to support Chen Zhi. It would be inappropriate to find anyone.

Therefore, all Zheng Shi could choose was to plead guilty and hope that Chen Zhi would let him go, so that no matter what happened, the family would not be harmed.

"Then the Tang family just didn't find the right time and made trouble right before Governor Lu took office. In the end, he was caught and used as a model. He taught him a lesson and used it to scare the monkeys. They haven't gotten over it for three years. All the industries in Dai County have been destroyed. There is a decline, and the Liu family is about to catch up. I, the Zheng family, must not follow in their footsteps! Fortunately, the prefect seems to have no intention of pursuing the case now. When he leaves, I will return home, prepare generous gifts, and rely on my connections and The prefect’s staff set up a call to get through the immediate difficulties first..."

Just as he was thinking this, the group of people walking towards the city gate had already arrived beside him. The leader, Chen Zhi, suddenly stopped and looked towards Zheng Shi.

Chen Zhi's gaze was very calm, not aggressive, not to mention cold. It was as if he was looking at an insignificant passerby. However, just such a gaze made Zheng Shi feel cold from head to toe, as if it was light. He stood naked in the ice and snow, his whole body trembling.

"Zheng Shi, you are a subordinate officer. If you feel that I have done something wrong, you can tell me first. Even if you don't want to, there are Zhongzheng officials who can report it. You can directly go over the county yamen and report it to the governor. It’s too unsightly, and it’s also suspected of being exaggerated and fictitious. You know the situation of the Huns and the situation of Daijun and Daixian, so why would you spread such words?”

Hearing Chen Zhi calling himself "my official" and not being polite in the slightest, Zheng Shi became more and more panicked and opened his mouth to explain, but Chen Zhi didn't give him this chance and sat in the carriage waiting for a justifiable name. Reasons for hammering.

"False reporting, reporting over the top, and being suspected of provocation are not suitable for staying in the position of captain. Let's go back and make arrangements."

Chen Zhi waved his hands, and after saying this, he turned around and left without listening to Zheng Shi's explanation. The others were stunned for a moment, and they were a little surprised. Seeing Chen Zhi's attitude towards Wu Jie, they thought he was trying to be gentle. Unexpectedly, after being polite, he turned around and gave Zheng Shi a hard blow.Does this mean you want to take action on the Zheng family?

Lu Dao couldn't help but become vigilant. With Lu District's past experience, no one in Dai County dared to take it lightly, but he also knew in his heart that Zheng Shi had brought it on himself, so that even if everyone wanted to stand up for him and prevent Chen Zhi from establishing his power Interference doesn't even have a legitimate name.

However, after the accident, everyone felt that it was understandable and that it was a reserved item for new officials, so they quickly calmed down and followed suit.

But after Zheng Zhi was panicked, he hurried over and said to Chen Zhi with a bitter look on his face: "Prefect! Prefect! I was confused for a moment! Please give me another chance, give the Zheng family a chance! The Zheng family will definitely assist you, Grand Administrator!"

At the critical moment, he no longer cares about his status. There was an example of the Tang family in front of him. Now that he has handed the clue to Chen Zhi, how many times will he and his family be stabbed by the other party's method of plotting against the Huns? A hole, that's weird.

The problem is, Zheng Shi can't let this happen!Regardless of his personal future or the fate of his family, the story of the Tang family cannot be repeated, especially when the current situation is unclear. The final situation may be even worse than that of the Tang family!After all, there are people behind Chen Zhi. If nothing goes wrong, the Zheng family may always be suppressed after the six-year term is over. Even if he is promoted midway and his influence remains, it will be enough for the Zheng family.

The key is that the Zheng family can wait and wait for a few years before resurrecting, but given his age, Zheng cannot waste time. Once he leaves the job, his career will be bleak!
With all these considerations in mind, Zheng Shi naturally couldn't care less about his appearance, and his plea was sincere.

"Captain Zheng, you are still a captain now. You should represent the majesty of your official position. You are also the head of the Zheng family. You should show the dignity of the family. Why should you be so pretentious?" Chen Zhi stopped, turned around and said, "I The officer asked you to go back and prepare. He wants you to think clearly about what you want to do and what the Zheng family wants to do. Go back and think clearly. I will ask you when I will ask you. Don't ruin the reputation of the government and the Zheng family here right now! Come and send Lieutenant Zheng home!" At the end of the sentence, Chen Zhi gave the order to the two servants, who immediately obeyed, and regardless of Zheng Shi's struggle, they picked him up and headed towards the Zheng Mansion.

Suddenly, everyone was silent.

In particular, Lu Dao and other Daijun officials saw another side of Chen Zhi, which was different from the previous calmness and gentleness, but a kind of calm cruelty.

Even Chen Zi, Yang Song, Su Liao and others who followed Chen Zhi from Luoyang saw something different in their deployment. It seemed that after arriving in Daijun and truly taking control of the place, Chen Zhi began to show another side. .

However, for Chen Zi and others, it was not Chen Zhi who had hidden anything in the past, but his past position, which was more focused on affairs and part of the execution. It was enough to do well, which reflected There is not much personal will, but the position of the prefect is different.

"Could this be what he really looked like after taking power?"

While several people were thinking about it, Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Okay, a little interlude really made Mr. Wu laugh."

Wu Jie hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and he became more and more scruples about Chen Zhi, but at the same time, he had a little thought——

"It seems that this person wants to imitate Lu District and intimidate the family to establish his prestige. In this way, he must seek help from the general, otherwise the family will complain and the public opinion will be together. He alone will not be able to control the situation! Returning to this matter, We must report it to the general!"

Then he changed the topic and looked at Lu Dao and others and said: "The affairs of Captain Zheng and the Zheng family are not official matters. Daijun's top priority is to get rid of the turmoil caused by the Huns' invasion. Before that, I don't want anyone to spread other news. Don’t tell anyone what happened today.”

"Yes, yes, I'll understand later!"

Lu Dao and the others hurriedly expressed their opinions, and they were obedient. When Chen Xing turned around and walked away, looking at his back, Lu Dao realized that he was already covered in cold sweat.
