Chapter 30

~4 min read 651 words

"Cheng's arrival this time is to ask the magistrate a question!"

Taking a sip of tea, Cheng Yu put down the teacup and looked at Lin Yang with burning eyes!

"Oh? I wonder what doubts Mr. Zhongde has?" With a slight frown, Lin Yang looked at the other person curiously!

He was just a county magistrate, not a learned person!

What was worth the other person's attention?

"A few days ago, the magistrate said the words 'build high walls, store grain widely'; I wonder if there is more after that?"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became silent!

Lin Yang stared at Cheng Yu, and the latter responded calmly!

This made Lin Yang hesitate a little!

Naturally, there was a follow-up to those words!

But could this be said?

After hesitating for only a moment, Lin Yang made a decision!

"It's impossible to hide anything from Mr. Zhongde, after all!"

Sighing, Lin Yang laughed at this moment!

"Build high walls, store grain widely, and be slow to claim the title of King!"

As the calm words were spoken, the hand of Cheng Yu, who was sitting to the side, holding the teacup, trembled slightly!

Looking at Lin Yang, Cheng Yu saw the other person's ambition in his calm eyes!

"Slow to claim the title of King!"

Saying it lightly, Cheng Yu hadn't expected Lin Yang's plan to be so deep!

There were no kings with different surnames in the Han Dynasty now!

Even Dong Zhuo, who controlled the court, didn't grant himself a title of King!

Lin Yang's words were a bit rebellious!

But this was exactly what he wanted!

"The magistrate has such ambition; if you don't mind, Cheng is willing to help!"

Slowly standing up, Cheng Yu bowed respectfully to Lin Yang!

The other person's sudden action left Lin Yang overjoyed!

Quickly standing up, he supported the bowing Cheng Yu with both hands!

"Mr. Zhongde has great talent; if you are willing to help me, it is truly my good fortune!"

Lin Yang's excitement and words at this moment were indeed sincere!

He was not from a great noble family!

Although he had grain in his hands and could win the hearts of the people of the world!

But most of the scholars of the Han Dynasty were from noble families!

Without status, they wouldn't pay attention to you at all!

The Xiliang cavalry was fierce, and Dong Zhuo held power, but he was still cursed by scholars as a barbarian, and there were not many civil officials helping him!

One can see the weight of the contempt of the noble scholars!

How could Lin Yang not be excited that a great talent like Cheng Yu, who didn't even give face to Liu Dai, was willing to defect to him!

"Zhongde has great talent; it's a pity that I am only a county magistrate now, and it's a grievance for Zhongde to serve as County Assistant!"

Holding Cheng Yu's hand, Lin Yang felt a bit embarrassed!

Although the County Assistant was second only to one in Jiangdu County, it was ultimately too small!

"Thank you for your trust, my lord!"

Cheng Yu had no other thoughts; since he had decided, he bowed directly!

Then the two chatted for a while, and Lin Yang handed over all the affairs in Jiangdu County to Cheng Yu!

"By the way, my lord, if you are worried about those Huang Jin bandits, there are five thousand old, weak, women, and children detained outside the city, all of whom are their relatives and friends!"

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he turned and left!

Lin Yang looked at the other person's back, listening to the other person's final suggestion, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch!

Hiss!

Is this Cheng Yu, one of the three ruthless men of the Three Kingdoms!

This guy must not be let go, otherwise he would suffer greatly!
