Zhang Hong laughed and raised his wine glass. "The people in Jiangdong are simple and upright, so don't be surprised by Kong Zhang. Come and drink. Du Sanniang has three unique talents. First, he has good skills, brewed wine and cooked dishes. The Qinhuai River ranks among the top three, and the fried dried fish is the only one. Second, he has a good voice, good songs and good dances. Let her sing a few lines later and dance twice, and you will understand; third, he has a good eloquence, speaks like an arrow, and is unreasonable."

Chen Lin smiled embarrassedly and said, "It is worthy of being the old place of Wu and Chu, and it has a very ancient style. It seems that Jiangdong not only has soldiers, but also many women have heroes."

"The guest said this well. Jianye is known as Wu's head and Chu's tail, and has the aura of Wu's Chu. Even if his daughter's family is in the formation, he is not as weak as a man. Just now, Zhang Xiang said that I am good at speaking and speaks like an arrow. I think I shoot better. I just waited for the third general's Yulin Guard to recruit soldiers, so I went to apply for the conscription."

Chen Lin was surprised. "Take it serious?"

"It's true." Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Last year, Yulin Guard recruited troops, Du Sanniang accepted the recruitment, and passed three levels in a row. The last level was 12 shots and nine shots were also in line, which also met the requirements. However, the quota was limited, so she was not selected..."

Du Sanniang giggled and said, "It's not that I didn't shoot, it's the King of Wu who came to watch the game. I was distracted for a moment and took a few more glances. Then I missed an arrow and failed to be selected as the best, otherwise I would have been able to choose."

Chen Lin was surprised by Du Sanniang's harshness, and even more surprised by the high selection requirements of Yulinwei. The 12th round of the eighth round was the selection criteria for the shooter in the army. A boat girl who was rocking a boat actually had such a shooting skill? What's even more exaggerated is that she had such a good shooting skill, but she had not been selected yet.

"The Yulin Guard's standards are so high?"

"The martial arts style in Jiangdong is very strong, and there are many people who are good at shooting. Du Sanniang has been making a living on the water all year round, and it is inevitable that she will encounter a few playboys. It is not okay to have no martial arts to defend herself." Zhang Hong was used to it and said lightly: "Don't look at these boats being light and delicate, they all carry weapons. If anyone drinks too much, throwing them into the water to sober up, and it is not impossible to suffer a little. With a whistle, there will be a helping hand within a hundred steps, and it will take a moment to do it."

Chen Lin was shocked. He thought of the soldiers in Yuzhou. The Central Plains was a place of clothing and was known for their etiquette. After several years of implementation of the new policy, the whole people were already soldiers. The people in Jiangnan were fierce, so there was no need to say much. Zhang Hong didn't need to use this to scare him.

"The Qinhuai River is under the royal city, right?"

"The King of Wu rarely travels, and it is even more rare to travel privately."

"Even if the King of Wu is very strict when he travels, what about ordinary officials? They will inevitably make grudges when dealing with official duties, right?"

"You can't tell me, this is really something like this." Zhang Hong picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, picked up another nut, pinched it with his fingers, peeled off the shell, put the kernel in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. "Last year, there was a case like this. Someone wanted to build a manor, forcibly demolished the house, and colluded with relevant officials, and was not allowed to sue, which angered the family. The head of the family was outside the army, and there was only a woman and a pair of children in the family. What did you think? The woman took a crossbow and waited on the roadside, shot the official who was on the duty to death with an arrow, then cut off his head and surrendered himself."

"What happened later?"

"Later, Jianye Wei found out the case and reported to the King of Wu. The King of Wu issued an edict, and the relevant officials were punished according to the law. The murdered woman was executed, but she was reduced to one level, sent to the army to serve, and redeem her sins. And so on, this woman seemed to be in Junyi. When the last time the Land Office attacked Chenliu at night, she was under the scout camp and made merits. I saw her name on the military merit book. If Junyi had her this time, she might be able to go home."

"Where is the official who was shot to death?"

"The official who was shot to death?" Zhang Hong looked at Chen Lin, as if he was a little surprised. "He was dereliction of duty first and had more than death. Naturally, he investigated and punished according to the law and made public to the public to serve as a warning to others."

Chen Lin took a breath and was stunned for a while. "What if the official is innocent but has made enemies for business and is retaliated against?"

"If this is the case, officials will be dealt with as a result of death on duty, and the court will support their families. Those who kill people will be punished with the crime, and the family will be punished with the first grade. The family members are not an official slave, household registration, and the clan leader will deal with it according to the law. Killing is not impossible, but the price is very high, so unless it is absolutely necessary, the people still choose to sue. If the officials ignore it or protect each other, they can be killed."

"Isn't this... the thief Cao going to be exhausted?"

"Of course it will be very tired." Zhang Hong was stunned for a moment. "There is no complete law in the world, so it can only compromise. This method has always been controversial, but the King of Wu insisted on this. We can only select officials, try to avoid any accidents, and even if something happens, we must be able to solve them as soon as possible. The candidates for thieves are very important. Most of them are retired veterans in the scout camp in the army, or they are veterans who are skilled in handling cases. Despite this, training must be arranged every year to exchange cases."

Zhang Hong came back to his senses and said, "Of course, selecting honest and fair officials is the top priority. Officials are fair in their work. There are also a few people who are willing to risk being beheaded to cause trouble. Even if there are combative people, they can choose to join the army to fight. To kill people on the battlefield is not only without any danger, but also to make contributions. Why not do it without any effort?"

Chen Lin looked at Zhang Hong in surprise and didn't say anything for a long time. Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Kong Zhang, do you think I'm too murderous?"

Chen Linqiang smiled. "It's indeed a bit different from Zhang Zigang in my impression, and it's daunting."

Zhang Hong laughed loudly, obviously not the first time he heard such words.

At this time, Du Sanniang held a strange musical instrument and stood pretty on the bow of the boat, saying with a smile: "Zhang Xiang, sing first into the formation, how about?"

Zhang Hong nodded. "It's great, let the guests from Jizhou see the heroic spirit of Jiangdong first." Then he patted Chen Lin's hand. "Kong Zhang, speaking of it, this song of the formation was created by a woman from Jizhou. It is now popular all over the country. Almost everyone can perform concerts and dance, each with their own characteristics. Du Sanniang's song of the formation is also famous in the Qinhuai River. Even the King of Wu said it was good. She often had her when she could perform. You can enjoy it today."

Chen Lin nodded repeatedly.

Du Sanniang plucked the string lightly, and a crisp sound of "ding" was like broken gold and silk, and then a clear roar. Although "Yiya" was a crisp female voice, it had a heroic spirit, like a whistling whistling the wind, making people shake their hearts and numb their scalp, as if they were on a battlefield of thousands of troops, with drums of war and arrows covering the sun.

Chen Lin held her breath and looked at Du Sanniang's naked and tender little feet, dancing at the narrow bow of the boat, plucking the strings and singing. When her hands jumped to Du Sanniang's rhythm, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

It is better to see it at first sight than to hear it. The people of Jiangdong are so heartless and are so energetic. Does Yuan Tan still have the qualifications to negotiate with Sun Ce?
