After Lin Chuan returned to the guest house, he had some recollection of Diao Chan and Cai Yan. He originally thought that Cai Yan was at most good-looking and famous for his talent, but he did not expect her to be such a peerless beauty.
As for Diao Chan, she was worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms. No wonder Wang Yun called her beautiful.
'It's a pity that I have to leave for Yanmen County tomorrow. Otherwise, I really wouldn't mind launching an attack on the two girls,' Lin Chuan thought in boredom.
Outside the door, there was the sound of hurried footsteps. Jia Xu walked in with a bamboo slip.
"My lord, Zou Jing's reply has arrived.”
" Finally, you're here. You're just in time."
Lin Chuan's expression became serious. He had been waiting for this reply these days.
As a matter of fact, when Linchuan Changshe won the victory and was awarded the position of Yanmen County Chief by Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, he had already sent someone to inform Zou Jing to understand the situation in Yanmen County.
Of course, no one knew about all this except Jia Xu. After all, Lin Chuan needed to keep a low profile.
"The situation might be more troublesome than my lord had expected.”
Judging from Jia Xu's solemn expression, Yanmen Prefecture should be a big pit. What kind of good thing could a eunuch like Zhang Rang do?
Seeing that Lin Chuan was silent, Jia Xu reported the situation one by one.
"In the past five years, the imperial court has sent four prefects to Yanmen Prefecture. Three of them died in the hands of bandits, and the last one was probably killed by County Magistrate Yang Lin.”
"Yang Lin? Who is it?"
Lin Chuan sneered. It was really a "good place".
"Yang Lin, also known as Yuantai, thirty-two years old. He's a sinister and cunning person. Five years ago, he was the county magistrate of Yanmen. In the past five years, he plundered the people wantonly and colluded with the bandits. He even had unspeakable secrets with the Xiongnu and Xianbei. He also gave a portion of the money he plundered to Zhang Yi, the governor of Bing Province, and a portion to Zhang Rang.”
Buying and selling officials, plundering the people, these were nothing new in the Eastern Han, especially during the Spirit Emperor era. However, colluding with the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and other Hu people was something Lin Chuan could not tolerate.
"Do you have proof that he colluded with the Hu?”
Lin Chuan's tone was filled with killing intent.
"Although there is no concrete evidence, there are twenty thousand soldiers in Yanmen County, spread out across fourteen counties. However, every time these soldiers leave the city to wipe out bandits, the Hu people will go south to plunder. Moreover, they had exterminated the bandits no less than ten times, but they had returned empty-handed each time.”
After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Lin Chuan clenched his fists tightly. Since he dared to collude with the foreign tribes, it seemed that Yang Lin had to die.
After seeing his lord's anger, Jia Xu calmly continued to analyze,"
"However, my lord, Yang Lin is not easy to deal with. The 20,000 troops in Yanmen Prefecture were originally controlled by 14 county magistrates, but now they are all under Yang Lin's control.
In Luoyang, Zhang Rang would speak up for him, and Prefecture Overseer Zhang Yi also valued him greatly.”
Lin Chuan knew what Jia Xu meant. This wasn't killing the Yellow Turban soldiers. If they went up, they would be aggressive. If they wanted to kill someone like him, it was very likely to cause a mutiny.
The 20,000 local soldiers could be wiped out in Lin Chuan's eyes with a snap of his fingers. The problem was that if there was no conclusive evidence, it would be tantamount to a mutiny and becoming the enemy of the entire Han Dynasty. Now was far from the time.
"Ah…don't worry, I have my ways.”
Of course, Lin Chuan understood these principles. He was also very confident. After a while, Lin Chuan asked curiously,
"Logically speaking, after plundering so much money, there's no reason for him to still be a county magistrate.”
"Hey, this kid is really smart.”Seeing that Lin Chuan had relaxed a little, Jia Xu sat down cross-legged and continued,
"If he wanted to be the governor of Yanmen, he would have done it long ago. The reason why he had remained as a county magistrate was because Yanmen Prefecture was often invaded by foreign races. When the case was reported to the court, there was no prefect, so the responsibility was borne by the fourteen county magistrates.
With no one to take the blame and Zhang Rang's bewitchment, Emperor Han Ling never pursued this issue.”
No wonder Zou Jing said that he was insidious and cunning. He was not lying.
After hearing these words, Lin Chuan was not worried at all. Instead, he was full of interest. He wanted to reach Yanmen County as soon as possible and see how capable Yang Lin was.
"By the way, we are leaving Yanmen Prefecture tomorrow. Have you found the person I asked you to find?”
Lin Chuan tilted his head and looked at Jia Xu.
"I found him. This person is called Zhang Xiao 'er, fourteen years old. His surname was originally Lu, but after following Zhang Rang, he was quite liked by Zhang Rang, so he changed his name.”
Little Zhang? Hehe, this picture made a castrated thief want to have a son. What a joke, using this kind of fantasy to satisfy his own desires.
Furthermore, she was only fourteen years old. It was obvious that she was a character that Zhang Rang treated like an inflatable doll.
"This matter is of great importance. Are you confident?”
"Don't worry, my lord. Although he is Zhang Rang's favorite, Zhang Rang loves money as much as his life and is unwilling to share a single cent with him. This Zhang brat is also a money-grubber. As long as the money is given, there will be no problem for him to be our spy.
Moreover, it was Zhao Yun who personally took action. There would definitely not be any mistakes.”
Lin Chuan wasn't the one who thought of finding an insider, but the old poisonous Jia Xu.
Once Lin Chuan rushed to Yanmen Prefecture, if there was no one of his own with Emperor Ling of Han, he might not even know that Luoyang had turned upside down. In this aspect, it had to be said that the old poison was more thoughtful.
Moreover, he also knew that Zhao Yun was the most suitable candidate to kidnap a eunuch in the palace late at night. It could be said that taking in Jia Xu had solved a lot of trouble for Lin Chuan.
After waiting for half an hour, the door creaked open. Zhao Yun walked in with a sack and casually threw it aside.
"My lord, I've brought him here."
"Thank you, Zilong."
Lin Chuan was indeed satisfied with Yun Zhao's performance.
After opening the sack, a young eunuch crawled out and looked around in fear.
Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Chuan, and his fear gradually receded. So he was a member of the official family. In this way, he did not have to worry about his life. After all, he was Zhang Rang's man, and no one in Luoyang would dare to touch him.
"Cloud Marquis, I am the attendant of the Middle Minister Zhang Rang. I wonder why Cloud Marquis kidnapped me here?”
"Of course there's something. You're not only Zhang Rang's follower, you're also his pet, right?
Tell me, from today onwards, you will be my spy and report everything that happens in the palace to me. What price do you want?”
Lin Chuan didn't even look at him. He wanted money anyway. A little eunuch wouldn't ask for too much.
