Chen Rui is from Xitian Township, western suburbs of Yuyang County. There are more than 20,000 households in Yuyang County and more than 70,000 to 80,000. It is a lot to say, but most of them were born and raised here for generations. When they are discussed in detail, many of them are related to their relatives. Chen Rui also has several relatives in the county town, and this time he was invited by a clan brother to attend the banquet.

In fact, according to Chen Rui's original intention, he didn't want to come. Although he was a clan brother, he was also a first-class country knight, but he was not very famous and had a long relationship with him. He was too lazy to come out and ran so far to just have a few glasses of wine.

There are two reasons why he came in the end. One is that his relative was very respectful and sent an invitation a day in advance. The other is that on this invitation, his clan brother vaguely mentioned one point: the most famous "heroes" in the county were Tian Peng and Wei Chong. Now Wei Chong died in war due to the Xianbei invasion. The young and young men in the town pavilions in the eastern suburbs of the county have no leaders. Recently, there have been many battles. The implication is that it seems to be that Tian Peng is very welcome. In this way, Chen Rui has to come.

He came to the county town with high expectations, looking forward to making peace with the goosemen in the eastern suburbs to expand Tian Peng's influence.

His clan brother greeted him early outside the restaurant and welcomed him into the private room. There were already seven or eight local young men, including those he knew, and those he didn't know but had heard of.

When the banquet was about to start, more than a dozen people came one after another - these people were actually the peripheral personnel of Yinyuan Wuwei, including the clan brother of Chen Rui.

The clan brothers introduced one after another - this is a fighting expert, this is a skilled archery and horse, and this is a good use of the espresso...

Chen Rui knew that they were all Wei Chong's right-hand men before, and after meeting, they were very enthusiastic. What satisfied him was that everyone was very polite to him. It seemed that his clan brother was right. Once Wei Chong died, the gentlemen around the eastern suburbs were indeed "no leader".

After the banquet started, after toasting his clan brothers, everyone toasted him one by one, with their attitudes very respectful. When they were reciprocating, he also toasted everyone. At this time, all 10 or 20 people in the hall, including his clan brothers, were all avoiding the floor to show their respect for him.

All of this satisfies Chen Rui. He was so happy that he drank a few more drinks. He looked around the boys in the hall and thought happily: "These few young men and young men in the town pavilions in the eastern suburbs have always been following Wei Chong as the leader and do not take the master's attention. Because Wei Chong and his friends are all brave, although the master is dissatisfied with them, he has to be afraid of it. God follows the will of others, and Wei Chong died in the war. Now these people are tactful and know that they can no longer fight with the master. Judging from their respectful performance at the banquet, they are clearly planning to surrender. Hehe, from now on, the heroes and heroes in this county will still be my master!"

Why did he surrender to the Tian family in Yuyang and be willing to be his lackeys and dogs? Isn’t it just to pretend to be a tiger's power and rely on the power of the people so that he can have a bit of face in front of many proud and tough knights in front of the villagers? Can he be more majestic? So although he usually doesn’t seem a domineering person, like a polite genius, he is actually "lowering people" in his heart. The only difference between him and Tian Lan is that Tian Lan has no brains and shows his domineering and rude men and women directly on his face, while he is a little clever and hides these negative things well.

At this time, everyone was respectful to him at the banquet. He was extremely satisfied. With his half-drunk drunkenness, he felt quite ethereal and deeply felt that his life value had been realized.

After the banquet, he said he wanted to gamble for fun. At this moment, the sky was already dim and it was about to go down. He wanted to rush back to Tian’s house before dark, but when he was about to speak, he noticed that his clan brother was winking at him. He thought for a while, and soon understood what his clan brother meant, and secretly became overjoyed, thinking: "It was gamble for fun, but judging from my clan brother's meaning, it was clearly a gift to me!"

Although he has a high status in the Tian family, he doesn’t get much money every month. Now there is a chance for others to give money, so how can he refuse?

He also came with two guests from the Tian family. He thought for a moment and thought, "It is better to eat alone than to eat three people together. If he and the other two stay, although the big head is mine, they must be divided into some."

It immediately made a decision, stayed by himself, sent away the two friends who came with him, and found an excuse to let the two go back to Tian Peng. Tian Lan reported the news first, and said that he would not go back tonight and would leave early tomorrow morning.

After sending the two men away, he sat on the gambling table with great enthusiasm.

For Chen Rui, everything seemed to be very smooth since he came to the county restaurant and up to now. Everything he saw, heard, and witnessed was satisfying and happy. However, just half an hour later, when Qian Zhao appeared in front of him with twenty or thirty soldiers, all this changed.

He led the people into the door. When they rushed in, Chen Rui was smiling and gathering the hundreds of copper coins from the table in front of him. He heard the sound and looked up, his smile condensed on his face, becoming astonished.

He held the armor on his body, held a bamboo slip with an arrest warrant written on his hand, and carried a knife on his waist and yelled, "Wait for boldness! Gathering people to gamble for money. Don't you know that this is a violation of the law? According to the law: 'If you gather to gamble and seize money, if you are a fair person, you will be one level of title and two years old.'!" Anyone who participates in gambling and is a referee will be severely punished.

Chen Rui subconsciously went to see his clan brother and the people sitting with him, but saw that they all didn't say a word. He didn't realize that he had fallen into a trap and thought that the county government had heard the wind and wanted to share some money, put down the money in his hand, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the one who will hold you?"

Qianzhao's face was cold Rubing, with a dark face, ignored him and ordered the left and right soldiers: "Take it down!"

The soldier walked forward with a knife, held the rope in his hand, and tied it to Chen Rui without saying a word. Chen Rui jumped up and avoided it, kicked the money on the mat forward, bowed, and said with a smile: "Hold me, I understand the rules. You come here and you can't let you go back empty-handed. Even if the money on the mat is my filial piety to you, I just treat it as I invite you to drink!"

He thought that this was very appropriate. After saying that, he looked down on the east outskirts who were kneeling on the left and right sides, and could not help but underestimate them, thinking: "But a county official scared you so much that you dare not speak out!"

He was very contented and proud of his performance. Unfortunately, his complacent and pride lasted for less than a moment. As the people of the East Outings stood up one after another, closed and surrounded him. Looking at the jokes and ridicule in the eyes of these people, he finally felt something was wrong.

"You, you, what do you want to do?"

The leader of the East Outing Ranger smiled and said, "I don't want to do anything. I want to invite you to walk to the county government office and stay in the county prison for a few days."

Chen was forced to the corner of the wall and looked for his clan brothers everywhere, but found that at some point his clan brothers had gone out and were no longer indoors. He also knew a little bit of the law. In desperation, he shouted loudly: "Take it! According to the law: 'The forbidden officials should not go into the house to catch people at night. Those who violate the law will beat and hurt them in the room, so that they will not be able to work in the law. Although I gathered to gamble and violated the law, you cannot break into the house to catch people at night! Even if I beat you to death, it is not illegal. You are a county official, don't you know this law?"

Everyone laughed, shook the knife in their hands, and chuckled and said, "If you can kill me, you will kill me."

No matter how stupid Chen Rui was, he guessed that the so-called banquet was actually a trap for him. So, who set this trap? From the current pull, it was not difficult for him to think of Tian Feng. So why did Tian Feng set this trap against him, a little man? It was obvious that it must be to deal with the Tian family in Yuyang!
