Overview of Chen Shi’s character story.

Chen Shi came from a humble background. When he was young, even though he was playing, he was still supported by the children. When he was young, he was a county official. He worked for some slaves in the county and later served as Du Tingzuo. He is eager to learn and can sit up and read without stopping. The county magistrate Deng Shao tried to talk to him and thought he was not an ordinary petty official, so he asked him to study at Taixue. Later, the county magistrate called him as an official again, so he escaped and lived in seclusion in Yangcheng Mountain. At this time, someone killed someone. Yang Li from the same county suspected that it was Chen Shi, and the county arrested him.

The torture and interrogation had no basis in fact, so he was released. Later, Chen Shi became the postal supervisor and secretly asked Xu Ling to summon Yang officials with courtesy. When people near and far heard about it, they marveled and admired him. Chen Shi's family was poor, so he became the head of the west gate pavilion of the county. Soon, he was promoted to a meritorious official. At this time, Zhongchang Shihou Lan asked Gao Lun, the prefect, to appoint officials, and Gao Lun ordered him to act as a literary director.

However, you cannot disobey the orders of Chang Shi. I will ask you to go to the office." Officer, this will not harm Mingde." Gao Lun listened to him.
