The Nameless of the Common Clans

"The village that was massacred this time was Liangzhuang, with a registered population of 103 households, but judging from the scene, there were thousands of people, at least 300 households. Yesterday it was Liang Zheng, the son of Liang Huan, Liang Zheng. Huan is usually domineering, and his son..." In the government office, the county magistrate reported the news about Liangzhuang one by one.

"Stop!" Zang Hong waved his hand, looked at the county magistrate and said: "He is dead, so there is no need to talk about his virtues. What is the connection between Liangzhuang and the Gao family? In addition, besides the Gao family, what other outsiders were invited yesterday? Have you found out?"

"It doesn't really matter. As for why the Gao family appeared in the village yesterday, it's all because Zhou Yuan, the son-in-law of the Gao family, grew up in Liangzhuang. Later, after marrying Mr. Yuan Jin's beloved daughter, he went to Luxiang. Yesterday Liang Zheng When they got married, they invited Zhou Yuan to go, but because Zhou Yuan was busy, he didn't go there and just asked people to send him a congratulatory gift." The county magistrate shook his head and said.

"In addition, people from all over the country have been invited, and no one has returned!"

"The amount of medicine that can make so many people lose is not small. Check the medicine sales nearby, including in Luxiang. Are there any records of large purchases recently?" Zang Hong thought for a while, looked at the county magistrate and said with a smile.

"What if..." The county magistrate hesitated, looked at Zang Hong and said, "What if this matter is really related to Mr. Yuan Jin?"

"Just deal with it according to the law." Zang Hong answered simply. Although he thought this was unlikely, judging from the matter itself, at least the Gao family was the most capable of doing it.

"Also, check for me about Zhou Yuan. Does he have any relatives in Liangzhuang? And...does he have any issues with Liang Huan or anyone else?"

"Here!" The county magistrate bowed, said goodbye and left.

Chen Mo knelt down and sat aside. It wasn't until the county magistrate left that he looked at Zang Hong: "Teacher, didn't you mean..."

"Now I still believe that Mr. Yuan Jin has nothing to do with this matter." Zang Hong nodded and said: "But the investigation cannot be influenced by emotions. Even if I believe him again, there will always be a conflict between emotions and legal principles in a person's life. , just do what you think is right.”

"Disciple, be taught!" Chen Mo felt relieved when he heard this, and then bowed to Zang Hong and said, "Disciple thought..."

"Do you think I won't check?" Zang Hong smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Here you go!"

Chen Mo hesitated a little, but finally got closer and stuck his head over.

"It's normal to have doubts." Zang Hong stretched out his hand, rubbed Chen Mo's head and sighed: "It is said that it is difficult to have both loyalty and justice. In this life, emotion and law are the most difficult to balance. Love can be regarded as righteousness, and law can be regarded as Loyalty is not loyalty to the emperor, but loyalty to the world. We are constantly making choices, growing old slowly, and learning...actually teaches us how to choose, but everyone values ​​different things, so I read the same The book will be different in the end.”

"Teacher, do you think Zhou Yuan is suspicious?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

"He is the only link between the Gao family and this matter. As long as it is proven that there is no connection here, it has nothing to do with the Gao family. On the contrary, it can also save a lot of manpower. Judging from the clues currently available, the Gao family is indeed the most capable. He did this." Zang Hong sighed at the end. He wanted to prove to Gao Wang that this matter had nothing to do with the Gao family, but the things found so far probably couldn't be separated.

Chen Mo nodded thoughtfully, that's right.

"By the way, teacher, do you recognize Taishi Ci?" Chen Mo suddenly remembered Taishi Ci and asked Zang Hong.

"I've heard about it, he's quite famous in Donglai." Zang Hong smiled upon hearing this.

"Oh?" Chen Mo was a little surprised when he heard this: "Does Cao Shi have a high official position?"

"Generally, the report to Cao Shi is idle and has no fixed position. It is not as good as the official system. Among the county officials, there is no real power. However, Tai Shi Ci is quite famous." Zang Hong said with a smile: "This person is from a well-known family. Later, his family fell into decline, and Taishi Ci's father died early. He was dependent on his mother. He had a good reputation as a filial man, and he was a righteous man. He liked to make friends with knights from all over the world, and because of his good martial arts, he was considered for promotion in the county in his early years. "

"Then why..." Somehow, Chen Mojue felt that Tai Shici looked a bit like him, and he paid more attention to it.

"He had a friend who was imprisoned. He went to vouch for it, but he made a careless friend and was almost imprisoned as an accomplice. Although he was talented, he was unruly and often pointed out the shortcomings of county officials." Zang Hong shook his head and sighed. Talent, but too sharp.

"What's wrong with this?" Chen Mo frowned and said, Tai Shici was right.

"If I talk about others, you may feel that I am short-tempered. How about I use you as an example?" Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo with a smile.

Looking at the teacher's smile, Chen Mo suddenly felt a chill behind him, but he thought his point of view was correct, so he nodded and said, "Teacher, please speak."

"Okay." Zang Hong thought for a moment and said, "Mo'er, you are actually a bit stingy."

"I didn't!" Chen Mo immediately denied.

"You never gave Juan'er a reward. Da Lang traveled thousands of miles with you, and you also provided him with food and accommodation. But other than that, think about what else you gave him? Is it true? With your new friends , I never want to take the initiative to share. When someone gives you a gift, you have to weigh the pros and cons. You don't want to give something worse than others, but you don't want to give something better, right?" Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo and said.

Chen Mo was speechless and opened his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Zang Hong.

"Furthermore, I heard from Juan'er that when you wake up every day, you will definitely stare at the bronze mirror for a long time. Although people say you are good-looking and you will be modest, in fact you often feel proud of it."

"I didn't, Juan'er is talking nonsense!" Chen Mo gritted his teeth.

"Now I am Tai Shici and you are the county governor. Your current mood is probably similar to that of the county governor. Regardless of what I said, how are you feeling now?" Zang Hongxiao asked.

Chen Mo: "..."

It wasn't very good, but there was nothing to say, so Chen Mo could only remain silent.

"Teacher, let's talk about it in another way. You can taste it carefully." Zang Hong saw that Chen Mo was silent and said with a smile: "I heard from Juan'er that you live a frugal life and are never extravagant. It's just that sometimes it's a virtue to be frugal to yourself and to be frugal to others. It’s just being stingy. There’s a degree to it, and you need to weigh it yourself.”

Chen Mo blinked, it seemed that the meaning was still the same, but it didn't seem to be so repulsive.

"Juan'er often praises you for your handsome appearance to me, but you will always refute when others say you are handsome. Sometimes it is also a kind of honesty to admit your own superiority appropriately."

"Teacher, Juan'er really told you everything?" Although Chen Mo felt a lot more comfortable, he still gritted his teeth and felt like there was a traitor beside him.

"The way to govern requires both kindness and power, otherwise not only Juan'er but also Da Lang may abandon her." Zang Hong said with a smile: "Besides, I don't object to you having your own opinions, but how can you express your ideas clearly at the same time?" It’s also a skill to keep people from being disgusted.”

"Disciple understands." Chen Mo said quickly and solemnly.

"Reflecting on yourself three times a day is a kind of cultivation. I give you these words as a teacher. It will definitely be good for you in the future. You are not afraid of doing wrong things, but you don't even know how you are wrong. This is the difference between a wise man and a fool. "Zang Hong stood up, stretched and said, "Okay, it's getting late, come with me."

"Here!"
