three kings

Chapter 252

Seeing someone throwing himself into the river, Sun Can hesitated a little, and immediately galloped away.Rescuing people is like putting out a fire, and Sun Can didn't care about the danger, and plunged into the water with a "plop" when he reached the shore.

Originally, Sun Can didn't need to do this matter himself, but Xu Chu is a landlubber, and he has no fighting power in the water. Sun Can, who is a middle-level martial artist, can subdue him with one move in the water.

And he didn't know the guards beside him very well, and he didn't know who could swim, and he didn't have time to ask about the emergency, so he had to go out in person.

Swimming to the center of the lake, he found that the lake was so deep that Sun Can could barely see the bottom, and probably guessed that it was more than two feet away.Swimming to the center of the lake, he took a deep breath and dived down. With his faint sight, Sun Can soon found a white figure not far from him, slowly sinking down the water.

Sun Can dived twice before finally confirming the woman's correct seat. When Sun Can pulled him out of the water, the woman had already exhaled more air and less air.

However, the woman had a strong will to die. Although she was about to enter a coma, she still struggled to break free from Sun Can's arm.

It was already quite difficult for Sun Can to swim with one hand, but the woman's struggle made it even more difficult for him to drink two mouthfuls of river water.

If things go on like this, not to mention that people cannot be saved, if you don't let go, you will probably die from exhaustion.

Without hesitation, he hit the woman in the neck with a hand knife, knocked her out, and carried her back to the shore.

Liu Hua immediately stepped forward to take her pulse, and then pressed on his chest, pressing down heavily for more than ten times in a row.The woman finally vomited out the accumulated water in her abdomen and gradually recovered.

It was only at this time that Sun Can began to look at the woman seriously. She was very dignified and beautiful. Although she was not as beautiful as Cai Yan, Diao Chan, and Zhen Mi, she was still a rare beauty.

The woman opened her eyes blankly, looked around, vaguely remembered a young man dragged herself out of the water, and looked at Sun Can who was soaking wet. The woman didn't know whether it should be gratitude or resentment.

At this time, a wave of common people rushed towards them.

Hundreds of guards immediately stood on guard with knives.

The people who rushed over were startled by the situation, stopped immediately, and retreated one after another.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman rushed forward, not afraid of the hundred guards, looked at the woman not far away, and shouted wildly: "Don't do anything stupid, my daughter! You It’s fine if you don’t want to get married, why is it so! I’ve been a widow for 15 years, and you have only one daughter!”

When Sun Can saw this, he immediately asked the guard to let the middle-aged woman in. Only maternal love in the world can make him face hundreds of steel knives without fear!

The middle-aged woman hugged the girl, looked up at him, and cried bitterly: "My daughter, do you really have the heart to leave your mother alone?"

The woman didn't reply, she just covered her mouth with her hands and wept, tears pouring down like water.

Sun Can couldn't understand what he heard, and knew that based on the middle-aged woman's words, he could vaguely guess that someone forced the woman to marry, but the woman didn't want to, so she came here and threw herself into the river.

It wasn't until Sun Can asked the soldiers to inquire about the news that he found out that the woman who threw herself into the river was named Liu Lanzhi.Fifteen playing konghou, sixteen reciting poems and books, she is a rare talented woman.

Later, she married Jiao Zhongqing, the only son of the Jiao family in Wan County. For some reason, Jiao Zhongqing's mother hated and disliked the gentle and virtuous Liu Lanzhi, and forced Jiao Zhongqing to drive Liu Lanzhi back to her natal home.

Sun Can was also deeply shocked when he heard this. Being driven back to her natal family has no intention of divorcing her wife. This is indeed a great blow to a young girl's family.

Liu Hua on the side was even more shocked. Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi were not celebrities, but they were the first couple in feudal society in history who died in love because of feudal ideology.

Because of her mother-in-law's intolerance, Liu Lanzhi was forced to return to her natal home. When she left, she swore to Jiao Zhongqing: "You will be treated as a rock, and my concubine will be treated as a pussy. Pussy is like silk, but a rock cannot be moved."

Later, Liu Lanzhi's appearance and talents were successively favored by the county magistrate and the prefect, who respectively asked him to be his wife.

Liu Lanzhi didn't want to, but Liu Lanzhi's elder brother wanted to climb to the top of the prefect, so Liu Lanzhi agreed to the marriage.

In this era when elder brothers are like husbands and elder sisters-in-law are like mothers, Liu Lanzhi was forced to agree to her request and agreed to marry the prefect's son.

Jiao Zhongqing came to ask questions, and the two agreed to meet in Huangquan.

In the end, Liu Lanzhi committed suicide by throwing herself into the river on the day of her marriage. Jiao Zhongqing also heard the news and hanged herself under a tree in the courtyard.

Seeing Ai'er's body, Jiao's mother regretted it, and asked Ai'er to be buried with Liu Lanzhi.

When he read this narrative poem back then, he was also moved by the spirit of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing's loyalty to love and resistance to oppression.Compared with those bubble dramas in the later life, this real and full of twists and turns can truly be regarded as love.

At this moment, Sun Can also learned what happened in detail, and felt contemptuous towards Liu Lanzhi's brother. He had no ability, but traded his sister's happiness. It was really hateful.

Suddenly, I wanted to go to the drunkard I met in Xinghua Village a few years ago, and asked secretly: "Could it be him..."

At this time, a young man walked in tremblingly, walked up to the mother and daughter team, and said, "Mother, the prefect is here."

The middle-aged woman turned her head and said sharply: "Nizi, you almost caused your sister's soul to return to Jiuquan, but at this moment, you still want your sister to die again."

The young man retorted: "Jiao Zhongqing is just a small official, how can he compare with the son of the prefect?"

"Then your sister's life can be a bargaining chip for your career?" Sun Can couldn't help interjecting sarcastically.

"You..." The young man was furious at what he said, and shouted, "This is our family business, and you, an outsider, can't control it."

Sun Can was taken aback. Although he was the general of Zhennan and the overlord of Jinghuai, he was an outsider after all, and he really couldn't participate in other people's family affairs. If it spread, it would be bad for his reputation.

After thinking for a while, he said to the middle-aged woman: "Although the elder brother is like a husband and the elder sister-in-law is like a mother, but the mother is good, and the marriage of the children should be based on the mother. It happens that he will save Ling Nuan once. Next time you may see nothing but a lifeless corpse."

Then he said to the young man: "Virtue is the most important criterion for recruiting talents in the 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. If a person has no virtue, he will not be able to be honest and filial, let alone be in an official career. As a fellow countryman, you know it well. Wanting to use connections to get into an official career is undoubtedly a dream."

The officials around him are not of good moral character, so Sun Can can be employed as a talent, but the local officials must be of good moral character, otherwise, they will only corrupt the law and bring harm to the village.

As he spoke, he ignored the young man and took the lead to leave.

Liu Hua said dissatisfied: "Chan'er, just leave it alone?" Although he knew that it was really difficult for them to intervene, but because of the admiration of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi, he still hoped to bring them together.

Sun Can smiled slightly: "We can't control it in the open, but we can do it in the dark, right? Does Yafu think that the prefect of Zongyang will dissatisfy me because of a woman?"

"I don't think so!" Liu Hua understood what Sun Can meant, and said with a chuckle, "It seems that Can'er has already figured out a way!"

Sun Can nodded and said: "Generally there is no problem, but Jiao Zhongqing's mother is a problem. If this threshold is not resolved, it is impossible for Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi to be together."

"Leave this to me. Mother Jiao loves Jiao Zhongqing very much, otherwise, she wouldn't have asked for Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi to be buried together afterwards!" Liu Hua said confidently.

Sun Can couldn't understand Liu Hua's words, and Liu Hua also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he fooled around with a haha.

Afterwards, Sun Can let Xu Chu pretend to lose control of his horse, crashing the sedan chair that came to marry Liu Lanzhi, and knocking the gift on the ground.Later, Liu Hua was asked to go to Zongyang to inspect his political achievements. During the conversation with the prefect of Zongyang, Liu Hua deliberately revealed a little bit of rumors, saying that Sun Can himself was involved in Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi's affairs, and was very dissatisfied with his behavior.

As expected, the prefect of Zongyang was obedient, and as soon as Liu Hua left the prefect's mansion, his marriage with Liu Lanzhi was dissolved.However, Liu Hua pretended to spread the news in Wan County that Liu Lanzhi committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and her soul went to Jiuquan.

After hearing this, Jiao Zhongqing was heartbroken, and after bidding farewell to her mother, she committed suicide outside the house.However, he was rescued in time by Sun Can, who was already prepared, and explained that Liu Lanzhi was not dead.

Jiao's mother almost lost her beloved son, and she was in shock, knowing that if she insisted on her own way, she would only kill her beloved son, so she agreed to accept Liu Lanzhi.

Early the next morning, Jiao Zhongqing and Jiao's mother brought Liu Lanzhi back together.

Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi got a perfect ending, and Sun Can and others happily embarked on the road to Wanxian government office.

None of them knew that a trivial incident today would play a vital role in the decisive battle in the future.

Wan County Government Office.

When Zhang Liao, the prefect of Wan County, learned of Sun Can's arrival, he immediately put down the military book in his hand and went out to greet him.

"Wen Yuan! Don't come here without any problems!" Sun Can saw that Zhang Liao, whom he hadn't seen for several years, was still in good spirits. His heart was filled with the joy of reuniting his old friend, and he happily went up to meet him.

Zhang Liao was flattered and said curtly, "Zhang Liao has met the Lord."

Sun Can laughed and said, "Wen Yuan, you have fought with me through hundreds of battles, and you are already in love with brothers. We haven't seen each other for many years, so we should have a drink. Why let etiquette take away our interest."

Zhang Liao also thought of the days when he and Sun Can fought together, and said longingly: "Yes! It's still fun during the days when I followed the lord." Feeling emotional, he immediately invited Sun Can to talk inside.

Sun Can, Liu Hua, and Xu Chu walked into the hall of the government office.

Zhang Liao first reported the political achievements of Wan County to Sun Can one by one, and the achievements can be said to be remarkable.The tax money collected by Wan County this year was second only to Shouchun, which was governed by Gu Yong.

Seeing that Zhang Liao managed Wan County so prosperously, Sun Can praised him a lot. Seeing that the banquet was not ready, he asked about Jiangdong's situation.
