Nearly dawn, Bai Qi and others returned to the village, as soon as they approached the edge of the village, they were intercepted by the Qin army of Fulu, and when they saw that Bai Qi and others were back, they also brought back dozens of horses.

By the time Bai Qi and Fan Ju came to the courtyard where King Qin lived, King Qin and Zhang Yi had already arrived outside the gate. Bai Qi and the others jumped off their horses, instructed the sergeant to collect the silver money and check it, and reported the situation to the king of Qin.

King Qin was very happy to hear this, Bai Qi did not say that he went back to the city to save Fan Ju, but Fan Ju said it, and he was extremely grateful to Bai Qi in his words. King Qin glanced at Bai Qi: "You did the right thing. If the two of you can work together, it is really my great Qin's luck, Fan Xiang go down to rest, and the right minister will accompany him to treat his injuries. ”

Zhang Yi accompanied Fan Ju to go, among the 10,000 Qin army soldiers, there were many capable people, before they joined the army, most of them were farmers, and some handicraftsmen, skilled craftsmen, and even medical fortune merchants, so after the Qin army came to these villages, on the one hand, they reorganized the villages, repaired the houses, and on the other hand, selected all kinds of talents in the army, opened furnaces and iron, made weapons, and even repaired clothes.

The king of Qin sent Wang Jian to check some money, and then half of it was put into the inventory, and the other half was handed over to the sergeant to buy grain, iron, and clothing for the winter.

At this time, there were only Bai Qi and King Qin in front of the door, and King Qin beckoned Bai Qi to enter the house, which was the only house in the village that was still intact, and it could be Baozheng's home, although the people were dead, but the house was not burned down.

The two entered the main hall, and King Qin ordered Bai Qi to close the door, and he sat in the middle, and suddenly shouted: "Kneel!" Bai Qi's heart sank, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The king......"

King Qin immediately asked, "How did Fan Xiang fall into the hands of the enemy?" ”

Bai Qi hurriedly said: "He has already reported it truthfully, I ......" King Qin said coldly: "It's nonsense." You deceived Fan Ju, but you can't fool me. Forty sergeants are around, why do you want to pull him personally? Bai Qi hurriedly said: "This ...... I'm afraid that others will be unreliable......"

King Qin sneered: "Really? ”

Although it was winter at this time, Bai Qi felt that his forehead was already sweating, and his heart was like beating a drum, and he was a little strange why he was so afraid of this King of Qin. When this person is usually kind and pleasant, he feels like a spring breeze, but now he sits there and asks himself, like a Mount Tai pressing on his head, making him breathless, unable to turn over, and trying to press out every truth in his heart.

Bai Qi really believed at this time, this King of Qin was able to unify the Six Kingdoms, and it was definitely not comparable to the thirty-six King Qin before.

He was on the verge of collapse.

King Qin stood up, slowly paced to his side, pulled out his long sword with a choked sound, and pressed it on his head, Bai Qi didn't dare to raise his head, he didn't dare to meet King Qin's gaze, he was like a lamb to the slaughter, without the slightest intention of resisting.

But King Qin's sword did not cut off, but gently patted the top of his head with the spine of the sword, and then withdrew into the scabbard, he leaned over and said in Bai Qi's ear: "You can go back to save him, you did a good job, so I won't kill you, but you have to remember that only this time, if you dare to be smart next time, I will behead you, don't think that the Qin army will not fight without Bai Qi, and it is Wang ......Jian who really destroyed the Six Kingdoms."

After finishing speaking, King Qin went out, and Bai Qi only felt that Taishan, who was pressing on his head, suddenly flew up, and with a bang, he involuntarily let out a breath and almost collapsed on the ground.

King Qin didn't tell anyone about this, he knew in his heart that what he needed most at the moment was to be in harmony.

With silver, many things are easy to do. The people who went out to buy grain went out and came back, and bags of grain and rice were brought into the village, as well as cloth, wood, ironware, and horses.

At this time, a seemingly inconspicuous little thing is happening in Luoyang, Henan.

"Xin'er, when you go out this time, you have to be more careful......"

A middle-aged lady was instructing her young son, and there were two domestic servants next to her, who were preparing the horses' food and water.

There was an official-looking person standing next to Mrs., who was born with dignity and stability, and was wearing civilian clothes at this time, but there was still a strong official authority in his words: "Xin'er, Lingbao is a place, close to Shaanxi, I have heard of the drought in Shaanxi, the court has no money to help, and countless thieves have rebelled, you have to be careful." ”

The young man Li Xin waved to his parents: "The second elder is too worried, although Lingbao is close to Shaanxi, but if the Shaanxi thieves want to enter Henan, they must pass through the Tong Pass, Tong Pass is an important pass, the court is very tightly guarded, and the thieves dare not attack if they want to come." Therefore, Lingbao is still very safe. ”

The official looked at his wife and smiled: "Although Xin'er is young, she already has the style of a general. ”

Madame was also very happy, but still instructed: "Even so, be cautious on the road, and don't show your money in va......in," and the servant on the side smiled and said: "Madame, just rest assured, my two brothers have been away for many years, how can you not know this?" ”

Li Xin nodded to the second servant: "With two elder brothers, the journey will be safe." ”

Then he knelt down to his parents and said goodbye, and the two old men sent them out of the gate, and watched the three of them get on the road and go west.

Of course, the young Li Xin would not have known that this time he went out to visit relatives and completely changed his life.

Besides, on the Qin army's side, with the silver, many things will be easy to do. The people who went out to buy grain went out and came back, and bags of grain and rice were brought into the village, as well as cloth, wood, ironware, and horses.

As soon as there was movement in the village, people from the government were immediately recruited. At noon on this day, a team of officials came out of Huayin County, went straight to Yuehuazhuang, and Bai Qi received a report from the sentinel, ordering him to be on guard in secret, and act at the opportunity. Fan Ju came to hide himself, afraid that someone would recognize them.

The officials entered the village and asked for a meeting. Zhang Yi stepped forward to answer, and the official asked them where they came from and why they lived in the village, Zhang Yi answered one by one, only saying that he was a hungry person from Xianyang, and he lived in the village when he saw that the village was empty and had no way out.

As he spoke, he handed over a few pieces of silver as a greeting gift.

Those officials immediately smiled, jumped off the horse and started a family affair with Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi's mouth was really ashamed of the matchmaker, and she was angry with the storyteller, and in a moment, she coaxed the officials to be excited, and felt that the scholar in front of her who was weak and weak was definitely a very good person.

The current Ming Dynasty has long been in chaos, and it is almost impossible to distinguish between officials and bandits, as long as they see the silver, everything is easy to discuss.

Zhang Yi also swore that his relatives and parents of these hungry people were killed by thieves, and he would be inseparable from the thieves in the future.

The officials were very happy, not only did they have money in their accounts, but they could also repay the credit in the name of "pacifying the township and reorganizing the village" when they went back. So after inspecting the vitality of the village, he returned to Huayin City with satisfaction.

As soon as the official left, Zhang Yi came to see King Qin, and said, "King, this matter is not very good." ”

King Qin was stunned when he heard this: "I have heard from the people that the reception errand of the right minister is very good, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "The officials are satisfied, but they returned to the county with the silver, so how could the county order not know?" Right now, he is missing tens of thousands of taels of silver, by the way, he doesn't have a nose, the nose is probably not growing, but the silver, he must try his best to get it back. When we first came here, we actually had some money to pay for, and the county order must be red-eyed, and we will definitely come to ask for bribes next. If you give too much, it means that we don't recruit ourselves, the silver will definitely not come from the right way, and if you give less, he will never give up. In the future, they will double their eyes on us, and when we recruit again, it will be very easy to be exposed, so I said, the big thing is not good. ”

King Qin nodded and said, "According to this, it is really not easy to deal with." ”

Zhang Yi laughed: "The king must also know that Zhang Yi deceived Chu and Han, deceived Zhao and Wei, which of those monarchs is not as cunning as this county order, Zhang Yi still plays with them in the palm of his hand, this small county of Huayin, Zhang Yi only used half of his mouth to settle it." ”

King Qin laughed: "I forgot. This has to be a gentleman. As long as this county order is not investigated deeply, my army of 10,000 people can stay here in peace and quiet, and learn a lesson! Zhang Yi nodded: "Exactly, I will go to Huayin City tomorrow, and stabilize the county order with my three-inch tongue." King Qin thought for a while: "It's not enough to be stable, it's best to ask for a name to come back." ”

Zhang Yi arched his hand: "I will not disgrace my life." ”

King Qin asked him, "How much gift money are you going to bring with you, sir?" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head: "Ten taels of silver is enough." ”
