Chapter 17 of the Six Kingdoms

Lu Ze saw that Ye Teng's words were stern but not angry, but asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Ye Shouke if you still remember the old things about Feng Shouting in the party?"

In the past, King Huanhui lost the wild land and wanted to dedicate the party to Qin, but the local people were unwilling. The king of Han sent Feng Ting to govern the party to surrender to Qin, and Feng Ting dedicated his land to Zhao to trigger the Battle of Changping, and his people were also defeated and died. Wu Anjun killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in the pit, known as "human slaughter", and his name can stop children crying at night.

Today, Nanyang and Qin are connected, what is the new king in Ye Shou's opinion? King Han may keep one side safe, can he appoint meritocracy? ”

Ye Tengshi couldn't praise the monarch against his heart and hesitated and said: "I was originally a cloth cloth, and the king appointed me to rule Nanyang." Now if you want me to betray Han and surrender to Qin, wouldn't it be revenge? ”

Lu Gong finally spoke up at this time: "What a roundabout, now that South Korea is dying overnight, if you stick to Nanyang, the blood will flow." The king of Qin was angry and raised troops, and the Korean ancestral hall did not protect the society, and the severance also originated from Junye.

Moreover, the king of Han was cowardly, and he was afraid that the king of Qin would sacrifice Nanyang to Qin with a little intimidation. What about Ye Shou? Does Ye Shou want to sacrifice the king of Tuwei? ”

Lu Pheasant sneered and said to Ye Teng: "I have heard that Ye Shou loves the people like a son, but I don't want to take my hearsay seriously. It turned out that Ye Shou cherished feathers, and would rather protect the king's land than the common people. ”

Ye Teng's face was full of shame when he was stabbed, and he had to confess: "If this is not the case, it's just that King Han sent Gongzi Sheng, and I am also deeply constrained." ”

The Lu family was kept by Ye Teng for more than ten days before continuing to set off to the west, this time they brought more Ye Teng's handwriting, and in the end Ye Teng still chose to protect the land and the people, and he also thought that he could ask the King of Qin to protect the Korean sacrifice at that time, but he didn't expect that something like that would happen later.

A winter in the Qin State was not cold, and the common people were busy with spring ploughing. The Lu family's convoy finally entered the territory of Qin, and they soon realized the difference between Qin and Han Wei. In the fields during the spring ploughing season, there are many farmers with black cloths on their heads driving their oxen to plough the land. The cold wind of spring did not blow away the enthusiasm of the peasants, and many of the peasants' dark faces were wet with sweat like rain.

The Qin State had a large proportion of state-owned assets, not to mention that even the land, such as the ploughing cattle used by the peasants in the fields, could be borrowed from the government, of course, the distribution order must be the first high lord and then the lower lord. Farmers with titles can also be assigned to their subordinates to help cultivate the land. If the cattle and subordinates are deliberately injured while working, the peasants must also compensate the government for the losses.

The Lu family and his party were carefully interrogated by the pavilion chief under the local county to enter Qin, and Lu Gongqiang couldn't help but be irritable and registered the family members and family soldiers at the pavilion chief one by one, and then he took the "inspection pass" in his hand and turned it over and over again. His age, surname, origin, and appearance are written on the bamboo pieces. In addition to young children, adults are issued with such documents.

The pavilion chief was regarded as a grassroots official in Qin, and it was their duty to maintain law and order, hunt down thieves, and popularize laws and regulations. The Qin officials in front of him looked like they were only in their twenties, but they tried their best to pretend to be mature and tell these distant visitors: "The Qin State strictly prohibits private fights, those who kill people die, those who hurt people are punished as Chengdan, and they have to pluck out their beards and eyebrows, can you remember?" ”

Lu Gong responded, thinking that his daughter had already thought of this matter, and he had taken the school examination many times before entering Qin, if he had to go straight to Xianyang, he could try to be a Qin official with his memory. It's just that the premise of being an official is to have a knighthood, and now even if he is rich and rich, it is impossible to be an official.

Just as they were about to leave and get back on the road, a young man with a large basket on his back shouted to the young pavilion chief in the house, "The clothes sent by the pavilion chief's mother, come and get them." "It turned out that the postman came to deliver the clothes, and the postman was a low-level public official in the Qin State, and he sent letters, clothes, and packages every day.

Lu Gong glanced at the young postman who was in a hurry before getting into the car and continuing to move towards the city, and he sighed to his son in the car: "It is not unreasonable that the Qin State is strong. ”

Lu Pheasant was in the back car with her mother's inspection pass, which was similar to the style she saw after marrying Liu Ji at that time, and the format was the same. When he was in a trance, he heard Chang Ji exclaim.

Lezi couldn't help but look at his daughter and asked, "What happened to Changji?" ”

"A strong man over there grabbed a thin man and took him away, why is this grandma?"

Lu Pheasant saw the man swaying on the road before, and he didn't pay attention to it when he was still thinking about things, and only then did he interject to explain: "When the spring ploughing was preparing for farming, he didn't wander on the road to production, and he committed the crime of impotence, and he was probably dragged to the township or county for trial." ”

"Ah Mei knows a lot." Being stared at by Chang Ji with adoring eyes, Lu Pheasant became a little ashamed.

This is really not what she saw from the book, but what Liu Ji did every day when he was the pavilion chief. It's funny to say that Liu Jiping has always been a disaster in the township, but he turned around and became a Qin official and went to arrest the same "scoundrel" as him in the past.

When the Lu family went to the county, they were intercepted many times to check the pass, and only after confirming that the person's ID was correct did they let go of the pass. When it gets dark, they will rush to the county inn. The post house is presided over by an old housekeeper, and the environment looks relatively simple. It's just that thinking that it was getting late, Lu Gong was still going to spend the night here.

"Uncle, our family and guards are going to stay for one night and find the largest courtyard." Guosheng first made a request to Lao Sheren.

Lao Sheren's eyelids rolled: "Check the inspection pass first, you can't stay without the test." ”

Guosheng was a little annoyed and was about to have a seizure, but he was quickly stopped by Lu Ze, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." Lu Pheasant also had a false alarm, when Lu Gong taught his family, but he forgot to teach his retainers and soldiers, which was also a mistake. It seems that in the future, Qin Fa will have to be taught to these people now, otherwise sooner or later he will be affected by the trouble.

Lao She sneered, and then slowly checked the inspection of the group, and found that it was foreign visitors who understood why they were a little unruly.

Lao Sheren turned back to Lu Gong and said, "There is also an upper courtyard in the house, there are many of you, and food can only be supplied with money." Your cars have to be parked on the sidelines, the yard is not that big, and the horses and fodder have to be paid for. ”

Lu Ze agreed and asked Lao She to arrange a place to live. A person who was eating in the front hall stared thoughtfully at the large copper coins that Lu Ze asked Guosheng to take out.

Lu Gong took his family to choose a room in the courtyard, and asked most of the domestic servants and soldiers to follow the housekeepers to live in other courtyards, and only a few people were left in his own courtyard. There is a stove in the courtyard, and Lu Gong has learned a few hands to cook their food at night, and he is indeed a little tired from dealing with the pavilion chief today.

Lu Pheasant found that his family members were a little difficult to adapt, so he comforted in the room: "It is inevitable that the conditions in the small border county are difficult, and we already have a large compound in Xianyang City, so we should bear with it first." ”

When Xi brought the food, everyone's interest was higher. After eating, Lu Gong taught Qin Lu again, and only then let Lu Pheasant and them retreat to rest.

Tonight, the moon was dark and the wind was high, but Lu Pheasant was a little restless on the couch, after the lights went out, she heard a sound in the distance when she was groggy, and it disappeared before she could listen carefully, and she slowly fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, they were woken up by the exclamation of the next door, and when they were fully dressed, they found that the courtyard was surrounded by men who looked like pavilion chiefs and his men.

Lu Gong took a few steps forward and asked, "I don't know why this pavilion chief is surrounding me and waiting?" ”

The pavilion chief looked at Lu Gongcai suspiciously, and said: "The old Sheren who had an argument with you last night was found dead in his courtyard, and someone reported that you might be the murderer, so I had to arrest all the suspects last night and investigate." ”

The soldiers of the Lu family had already exposed their blades and confronted the besieged robbers and others. Lu Gong hurriedly stretched out his hand and motioned to the soldiers to let them put down their weapons.

He looked back at the middle-aged pavilion chief dressed in black in front of him and said, "We just came from South Korea, so we won't come to kill a Lao Sheren. I heard that although Qin Law is strict, it is also fair. I hope to return my family's innocence. He tied his hands, looked back at Lu Ze and Lu Pheasant and said, "Don't panic, my father will come back soon." ”

The adult men of the Lu family were all taken away, leaving only a few maids with the panicked pleasure. Lu Pheasant frowned, thinking about what went wrong, his family has always been strict, and it is impossible to go out and kill people in the middle of the night. But I don't know who saw Qian and wanted to slander her family.

At the murder scene next door, Ling Shi Zheng took a pen officer to investigate the scene. Inside the house, he was examining the corpse for the clerk to record.

"The deceased was a man, in his sixties, six feet tall. Dressed in a long brown linen shirt, straw sandals have loose marks, which should have been damaged during the fight.

The body had no other wounds except for a knife and an inch-long obvious wound on the neck, and there were large bruises on the abdomen.

There are blood spots in the pupils. There were blood marks between the fingers, which should have been obtained by scratching the gangsters while struggling. Depending on the stiffness of the corpse, it was probably the time of death. ”

Ling Shi stood up again and walked around the corner of the house to check that the window was closed inward, and there was no trace of damage, seeing that the deceased was wearing underwear, and he should have been shouted by someone outside the door before he went to open the door and was attacked. According to the curfew, no one will come to stay at night, so the murderer should be the resident.

At this time, the pavilion chief who was investigating in Lu Pheasant's courtyard heard the report of the lower-level officials that the murder weapon had been found, and hurriedly went over to check. A bronze blade was thrown at the foot of the wall, which was the location of the murder.

He asked someone to report the new discovery to the side of Ling Shi, who came over to look at the position of the short blade, and returned to the courtyard where the crime occurred. He looked around the wall and found a few slight footprints, allowing the scribe to record its size.

He had already thought of a way to catch the murderer as soon as possible, but now he was just going to verify it, and if he wanted to blame others for his moment, it was really an axe.

Lu Pheasant also comforted the panicked family at this time, and explained in detail the investigation and trial process of Qin officials. Although she believed in the justice of the law, she couldn't help but be suspicious of Qin officials. After all, the rule of officials in the late Qin period was really corrupt. But I don't know if the current Qin officials can enforce the law impartially.

She begged Lu Ze to take her to the county office, she had some ideas, maybe she could bring the gangsters to justice earlier, and let Lu Gong get out of prison as soon as possible.

In the county prison, the Lu family was divided into several rooms and imprisoned, and Lu Gong and Guosheng were locked together, and Guosheng couldn't help but blame himself when he saw that Lu Gong was not in a hurry: "If it weren't for the dispute yesterday and being seen, there would not be this disaster today." ”

Lu Gong smiled before saying: "When I first came, Che Ma Ming was afraid that he would be framed by the gangsters, even if you didn't have a quarrel with Lao Sheren yesterday, someone would die because of us." ”

Guosheng was deeply moved and knelt down and said: "The Lord has never blamed his subordinates, and his subordinates dare not serve the Lord." ”
