Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Yanzhou, Puyang.

A young man in a blue shirt led a healthy horse on the road. The horse seemed a little tired after running for more than a hundred miles, and followed the young man silently.

The young man wore a blue cloth shirt, not very gorgeous, but the clothes were washed very clean. His face was not very handsome, but his eyes were very sharp, and his thin lips were tightly pressed, revealing a sense of heroism.

"Puyang? It's finally here."

The young man looked around and saw a huge city in his sight. The city wall was tall and generous, and two large characters written in small seals—Puyang—hanged above the city gate. The city gates were heavily antlers placed aside, and more than a dozen persevering sergeants inspected the passing pedestrians. Each of them was full of energy and physique. At first glance, they knew they were elite teachers.

Outside the city, there are two lines. Dozens of people are lining up to walk in, but they have to hand over a five-baht coin.

"A big piece of money? The price is not high." The young man smiled at the corner of his mouth, reached out his hand and took out a five-baht coin from the package, and led the horse forward.

"Go in, next one."

A middle-aged man in plain clothes appeared to be a farmer and walked in. The next one was the young man. He smiled and stretched out his palm with a five baht coin in it.

"Two military masters, you have worked hard."

The youth showed a harmless smile, but the two sergeants looked at him sharply.

"Boy, what's behind you?" The sergeant on the left stared at the cloth bag behind the young man and said coldly.

The young man made a haha: "The two army masters are now in troubled times and thieves are rampant everywhere. Naturally, the villain must bring the same weapon to protect himself."

"Hmph! Then you can rest assured that there is absolutely no banditry in our Yanzhou area." The sergeant replied coldly, "You quickly hand over the murder weapon. The court has an order. Except officials and military personnel, no one is allowed to carry it privately. Weapons such as swords, bows, crossbows, axes, hooks and forks enter the city, otherwise they will be arrested on the spot."

"Huh?" The young man looked slightly surprised: "But the students came from Jingzhou, and they encountered many thieves along the way. Is there really no banditry in Yanzhou?"

"This is natural! Let me ask you, since you entered Yanzhou, have you ever encountered a robber halfway through the robbery?" The sergeant looked up and asked.

The young man frowned and thought for a while: "It seems that there is not."

"Of course." The sergeant showed a proud look on his face: "It is not only Yanzhou, but the Sili school lieutenant department is also related to the land, and the banditry is clear. The general ordered that the thieves looted the people and robbed merchants. The harm is so great, we wait for the imperial master to be ordered to suppress the bandits, and the first priority is to completely exterminate the local banditry every time we go."

"Perhaps these thieves and bandits took shelter temporarily after hearing the wind?" The young man laughed and said, "Cunning Rabbit Sangu, since the court has sent troops to fight against them, these bandits are not stupid, I'm afraid they will hide, and wait until the wind and waves come out again?"

"It's nothing." The sergeant replied: "The general has foresight. If the people report the robbers and reward them with food, rice and money, the people will all cheer and cheer. Just the thieves who were killed by our king in Puyang will not be there. Hundreds of people."

"That's it, this is a good way." The young man nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, I've told you so much, the people behind are rushing into the city." The sergeant suddenly reacted and said solemnly: "Quickly hand over the murder weapon behind your back and register it. I will temporarily You keep it and collect it when you leave the city."

The young man said helplessly: "Okay."

Having said that, he untied the cloth on his back, pulled the cloth strips and spread it out layer by layer, revealing a three-foot-long iron sword with sharp edges and well maintained.

There was a sergeant sitting on his knees outside the city gate. There was a table in front of him. The sergeant glanced at the young man holding an iron sword, but his eyes gathered on the young man's palm.

The five fingers are slender, the back of the hand is wide, and there are thick calluses on the belly of the fingers and the upper edge of the palm. At a glance, he is an old swordsman.

"Name."

"Single Fu."

"Hometown."

"Nanyang County, Yuyang County."

"Why did you come to Puyang?"

"Study Tour."

The sergeant used a knife to carve the bamboo slips, and the next sergeant took the iron sword in Shan Fu's hand.

"Don't worry, come here when you leave the city, you may change the guards at that time, but as long as you complete the formalities and show evidence, you can get this sword back."

After all, the guard handed Shan Fu a smoothly polished and engraved bamboo stick, and said, "Don't lose it, otherwise your sword won't come back."

"So, thank you." Shan Fu bowed his hand to salute, took the bamboo stick, carefully stuffed it into his arms, and then led the horse into the city.

"The one behind, hurry up." The sergeant at the gate greeted him, and the next person came up again...

Shan Fu led the horse into Puyang City, only to see a lot of pedestrians on the street, walking in a hurry.

"This Puyang city was previously broken by the Yellow Turban thief, but I didn't expect it to recover so quickly. It seems to be well managed." Shan Fu smiled, and the shop Xiaoer who was shouting by the roadside saw him holding a horse, and his eyes brightened. .

"Does this man want to stay?" The shop Xiaoer enthusiastically came up and introduced: "The shop has good service, hot water, and the guest officer is satisfied. The guest room only costs five big dollars a night."

"Five big money, is it a bit expensive?" Shan Fu smiled.

"Hehe, value for money, value for money." Xiaoer laughed.

Shan Fu took out fifteen large sums of money from his bag and said, "Open a room for a certain person, have a meal, and feed the horse by the way."

"Okay, you are in love with you!"

Xiao Er was overjoyed and hurriedly took the horse from Shan Fu to the hall and tied it up. Then he took Shan Fu to the second floor and opened a room for him.

After a short while, the shop Xiaoer came up with a wooden plate on which was a meal, half a catty of corn rice, two taels of pork, two bowls of green vegetables, and a bowl of rice soup.

"This Puyang is slightly different from what I saw along the way."

After eating meals, Shan Fu sat on the couch and muttered to himself.

Apart from other things, it is very outstanding that it is the elimination of thieves and bandits to eliminate public order. He came from Jingzhou. Even if it is known to rule Qingming, there are many water pirates and stream thief along the Jingzhou ruled by Liu Biao. Therefore, people dare not walk alone if they want to go out, but gather a group of people and go together.

The situation in Yuzhou is not much different from Jingzhou. The only difference is that there are no pirates, because there are no big rivers in Yuzhou.

When it came to Yanzhou, it was completely different. There were no traces of thieves, and they were probably wiped out.
