There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The potter couldn't help but hold his breath when he heard this: "If the Zhuge clan wants to move south to Yuzhang County, which way will it go?"

Guo Jia closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said slowly: "It's easy to say, there are three best routes for him to go south, but the one on the west passes through Kaiyang. , and Danyang elite soldiers and Taishan Army are performing martial arts in Tan County, which is also a place of trouble, so the best choice for him at present is to go to Houqiu on the east road."

The pottery breathed heavily and clapped his fists heavily: "Then I will send troops to stop them in Houqiu!"

Guo Jia laughed and said: "You think you are kidnapping Guo? I'm a poor family boy from other places, you can bully him, but his Zhuge family is a local gentry in Xuzhou. You detain him for no reason and turn around. When the news spread to Pengcheng, your Dow's reputation among Xuzhou gentry will be rotten! If those gentry leaders don't tell you, your father will be the first to beat you to death."

Pottery merchant frowned, and said unhappily: "Why, I am such a big sheriff, Mr. Xu Governor, or Mr. Taiping, I can't touch him, old man Zhuge?"

"You remember that you are Mr. Taiping now? Why didn't you remember when you did those nasty things?" Guo Jia said with a slightly teasing smile: "Actually, there is nothing difficult. Guo just said that you can't take people for no reason. Detain them, then you can find a suitable reason to detain them, right?"

The potter thought for a moment, then said softly, "What reason is more appropriate?"

Guo Jia spread his hands apart: "Of course it's Zhuge's who broke the law. As long as you break the law, you, Tao, as the governor of a state, naturally have the right to detain Zhuge for questioning, as the saying goes. Righteousness."

Dow asked again: "Then what law will Zhuge commit?"

Guo Jia said slowly: "Tax evasion, dereliction of duty, disrespect for ancient etiquette, you can do anything, you don't know how to find fault? Besides, you should go to the Han law to look up such things, not ask me."

Hearing the words, the pottery merchant suddenly became enlightened, and said to Xu Chuyan: "Find out where the Yangdu county government is, let's go and investigate the criminal record of Zhuge's family!"

Chapter 1: Investigation of the Zhuge Family

Although the county magistrate of Yangdu County is currently under the jurisdiction of Zang Ba, it is only because Zang Ba cut off Langya County and Pengcheng, so he had to make false claims. In fact, the magistrate of Yangdu County still belongs to the Tao family. What's more, the lords of a county are generally the sons of the gentry who were appointed for their filial piety. How could they easily give in to Zang Ba, a second-hand cavalry captain who was born as a bandit?

I heard that Mr. Taiping came to Yangdu County and even visited the magistrate's mansion in person. The magistrate of Yangdu ran out to greet him enthusiastically.

Welcomed by the county magistrate into the hall of the county government, the county magistrate of Yangdu asked the pottery merchant to be in the upper position, accompanied him with a smile and said, "Mr. ?”

The pottery merchant waved his hand and said: "County magistrate, Mr. Tao won't speak politely to you anymore, let's get things done quickly, I'm not here for anything else this time, I'm here to pick on Zhuge Xuan!"

In a word, the officials in the county sitting in the hall were dumbfounded.

"Specially picking on Zhuge Xuan's faults?" Yangdu County Magistrate seemed to be a little confused and said, "What's wrong with Zhuge Xuan?"

"Then I have to ask you." The pottery merchant looked at him with a smile: "Since Zhuge Xuan returned to Yangdu City last year, has he done any shameless things?"

"This..." Yangdu county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said weakly, "He didn't do anything, he's quite calm."

The potter's face darkened, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What didn't you do? That's not okay, he has to do this!"

The county magistrate of Yangdu did not expect that the pottery merchant would give him such a big meeting gift as soon as he arrived at the county government, and all the excitement of being able to welcome the Chief Inspector just now was wiped out at this moment.

Isn't this kid nicknamed Mr. Taiping?

Then why do you have to pick things up when you come here?

At this moment, the magistrate of Yangdu County couldn't see with any eyes that this was a Taiping man.

"Well, my son, I really can't find anything wrong with him."

The potter frowned and said, "Is he not greedy for ink?"

The county magistrate of Yangdu laughed and said, "Before Zhuge Xuan returned to our Yangdu, he was an official of Jingzhou. It seems that we don't care if he is greedy or not."

The pottery merchant pondered for a while, and then asked, "Did the Zhuge family evade taxes?"

The county magistrate of Yangdu shook his head vigorously: "Zhuge's land rent, agricultural lessons, grass, draft money, and mu tax are all in abundance every year. At the beginning of the year, the county even presented a special reward. what is the problem."

The pottery merchant frowned: "Then Zhuge Xuanqiang robbed the women?"

The cold sweat dripped down the head of Yangdu county magistrate.

This is the rhythm that really wants to kill Zhuge Xuan.

The county magistrate shook his head vigorously: "Zhugexuan is generous and righteous, and he has a good reputation on weekdays. He has never been in the market like this. Besides, he is also a man in his fifties. If he wants to rob people's women, he probably won't be healthy."

The pottery stood up abruptly and paced back and forth in the hall.

"Except for Zhuge Xuan? None of the other members of the Zhuge family committed crimes?"

The magistrate of Yangdu grinned, and said: "The Zhuge family has an upright family style, and the members of the clan have a good style of conduct, are extremely respectful, and have never made mistakes."

The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard the words, and stared blankly at the county magistrate of Yangdu, not knowing what to say.

Could it be possible that all members of the Zhuge family were descended from monks?

As a group of nobles, but they don't even get out of the way, don't do any bad things, and don't even snatch the daughters of the people from their homes. It's too boring to live, isn't it?

What's the point of staying in such a family, even if it is a gentry?

The magistrate of Yangdu looked at the thoughtful face of the pottery merchant, and after a long while asked in a low voice: "My lord, what kind of enmity do you have with Zhuge Xuan?"

The pottery merchant woke up when he heard the words, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk nonsense, magistrate, what kind of enmity can I have with old Zhuge?"

Speaking of this, it seemed that he was afraid that the county magistrate would not believe him, so the potter added: "I just want to tease him."

The county magistrate of Yangdu really didn't know what to answer when he heard the words.

To tease him?

You are really trying hard enough to be funny.

The potter was at a loss, turned to look at Guo Jia: "Help me."

Guo Jia was drinking with a wine gourd at the side, and rolled his eyes involuntarily when he heard the words.

"You ask Guo to help you with this kind of dirty matter, and pass it on later. How do you ask Guo to behave in the future? Is my reputation okay? Aren't you cheating me?"

The pottery merchant bowed deeply, and said: "Mr. is a natural genius, a hero in this world, besides you, Tao really can't think of anyone who can help me with this."

Hearing this, the magistrate of Yangdu County looked at Guo Jia cautiously.

Mr. Tao praised this person so much, but he didn't seem to have heard of such a capable person in the world?

Besides, a born ghost and a hero in the world just specialize in finding faults?

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Guo Jia sighed helplessly: "I still have to give the money."

The potter nodded in agreement.

But Guo Jia stood up, bowed to the magistrate of Yangdu County, and said with a smile, "The county magistrate will borrow Zhuge's household registration and resume for students to read."

Although he didn't want to give it to him, the magistrate of Yangdu County didn't feel too embarrassed to directly offend the pottery merchant, besides, Zhuge's family was law-abiding, no matter how powerful this kid was.

Immediately ordered someone to send Zhuge's household registration and tax name.

Look at this kid like a wine grinder, forgive him for not being able to make much waves.
