Chapter Twenty-Nine, The East is Unclear

When the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms, it generally used two methods for tough opponents, battlefield suppression and heavy bribery. If that doesn't work, send an assassin to assassinate him. At the moment, these people can neither kill nor fight, so they have to be bought.

Zhang Yi was a little worried: "I think these people are very loyal to Sun Chuanting, if they don't take our bribes, but report to Sun Chuanting, won't they expose their flaws?" ”

King Qin waved his hand: "It's so decided, I want to see if their loyalty works, or my gold and silver work." ”

The next day, those officers received the first bribe money, each tattooed ten taels of silver, and the baozheng of each village said that it was a meeting gift, but the officers did not accept it, and everyone persuaded them to live and persuade them, and finally accepted them. In the evening, Zhang Yi invited these eight people to sit at a table, set up a banquet, only said that he paid for it himself, not to disturb the people, and had a big drink with them, and when he left, he stuffed a small cloth bag in each person's arms.

Inside were ten taels of gold.

For these money, the officers are not without suspicions, but Zhang Yi has already made it clear that these silver coins were obtained when they fought against King Qi a few days ago, and they should have been handed over, and in order to make a living, they secretly left them, and now that the officers are here, it is natural to give them to them.

With the money to open the way, the officers naturally relaxed about the training, the soldiers of the Qin army followed the instructions, pulled the officers to eat and drink every day, the relationship is getting closer and closer, these officers are all happy, this errand was originally a chore, but now there is wine and meat every day, and there is silver to take, and the drudgery has become a beauty difference, and it is not good to say much about the lazy appearance that everyone made during training.

Although this is the case, as soon as they came, the village made weapons and recruited troops and horses naturally could not be done, or delayed a lot of things, King Qin was very unhappy, this night he summoned several ministers to discuss, to see if there was a plan, get these people away.

Zhang Yi smiled: "I've actually thought about this matter, if you want to get these officers away, there is only one way......" Fan Ju asked: "What way?" Zhang Yi said: "Get Sun Chuanting away......"

Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "We can't even get these little officers away, how can we get the surname Sun away?" ”

Zhang Yi had a straight face: "I don't understand, it's easier to get rid of the surnamed Sun than to get rid of these officers." Wang Jian was a little impatient: "Zhang Xiang, hurry up, don't sell it." Zhang Yi smiled: "As long as Sun Chuanting is promoted, he will naturally leave......"

Fan Ju suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, this is a way, but ...... How to get him promoted? At the moment, it is impossible for our king to seal him. ”

King Qin also smiled: "Yes, my will, I'm afraid he won't listen to it." ”

Zhang Yi shook her head and looked confident: "If you want to be promoted, you have to make meritorious contributions, and you have to fight your boss, which Sun Chuanting naturally won't do, if he doesn't do it, let's help him do it." ”

Bai Qi frowned: "But who can be sent to this matter?" We don't know about the government of the Ming Kingdom. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "I have a candidate, if this person goes, he will definitely succeed." ”

King Qin asked, "Who?" Zhang Yi said: "It's that Li Yan." Fan Juyi frowned: "He's just a child, too young." Leave such a big matter to him...... "King Qin is not at ease. Zhang Yi strongly supported Li Yan: "Judging from my observation for many days, this person's background is by no means ordinary, either after the official eunuch, or from the family of the big family, and he is no stranger to the current official mansion." And he can speak well, his heart is bright, and it is precisely because he is a child that he can work wonders. ”

King Qin thought about it carefully and shook his head lightly: "No, this is too slow, even if this kid does a good job, promotion is not a matter of time and a half, and this officer is in the village, it is a big trouble." Every day that passes, there is a danger of exposure. ”

He walked a few steps in the room, Huo Ran turned around, his eyes were cold: "Kill Sun Chuanting......"

Bai nodded: "Yes, it's better to assassinate faster." "The king of Qin ordered that the assassination be arranged by Wang Jian to be as foolproof as possible. Wang Jian received the order. Overnight, he found some of the best generals in the general, all of whom were skilled in fighting, climbing, and stealing. Li Kang is also among them.

Wang Jian said the meaning of the king, Li Dare was the first to ask for an order, Wang Jian knew that Bai Qi valued this person, and some important errands were also done by him, but this mission was extremely dangerous, in case it was folded in the city, it would not look good on the white face, so he hesitated, Li Dang was a very motivated young man, he knew that during the period when the Qin army was sting, there were not many opportunities for meritorious service, so he strongly requested.

Everyone saw that his intentions were very sincere, and it was not easy to compete with him, so everyone was silent. Wang Jian had no choice but to agree. This kind of task is best done alone, but it is easy to be found when there are many people.

Li Dang returned to his residence, cleaned up, and just after dawn, he pushed a cart with two bags of grain on it and walked towards Huayin City.

When I came to the city gate, there were still soldiers checking, but the intensity of the check was not great, because Huayin had been peaceful for more than half a year, and the soldiers had already slackened. Li Dang came to the city gate, the soldiers searched their bodies, touched the sack again, felt that it was food inside, and let him enter the city without asking too much.

Li Dang didn't sell grain, he pushed the cart around, he heard Zhang Yi say that the new Sun County Commander lived behind the county office, so he deliberately walked around the gate of the county government and outside the back wall, memorized the terrain, and then found a carriage and horse shop to live.

He did not go out during the day, and slept soundly, and when he arrived, the street was already dark and empty, and Li Dang got up quietly, went to the backyard of the shop, untied the sack, and took out a crossbow and a short knife from it. There was only one arrow on the crossbow, and he knew very well that he only had one chance, and if he missed an arrow, he would come in vain.

In order to cause Sun Chuanting to die, poison was specially fed on the crossbow arrows.

He climbed out of the wall, trotted, came to the back wall of the county office, listened carefully, there was no sound inside, he carried the crossbow machine, gently climbed the wall, and looked inside. There were lights on in the county office, and from time to time there were servants coming in and out, Li Dang observed, slowly went down to the wall, covered his face with a black cloth, and slowly walked along the dark wall to the back hall.

He heard Zhang Yi say that the back hall is where the family lives, and Sun Chuanting must be here.

Sure enough, he groped his way to the side of the back hall, heard someone in the hall talking, he crouched in the shadow of the flowers and looked, under the bright light, there were two people sitting in the back hall, an old man sitting on the chair at the bottom, and a man in his thirties sitting on the official seat at the top.

Li Dang had heard Zhang Yi's description, and he recognized it at a glance that this person was Sun Chuanting.

At this time, Sun Chuanting had finished talking with Lao Suo, and instructed his family to send off the guests, and at this time, a woman came out of the back hall, dressed plainly, without applying fat powder, and came to Sun Chuanting with a blessing: "Master, rest." Sun Chuanting shook his head: "At present, Shaanxi is in chaos, the affairs are complicated, in order to protect the territory and the people, I still have a lot of official documents to deal with, you go to sleep first." ”

The woman sighed softly: "Master take care of yourself, I'll cook you a bowl of jujube porridge......" Saying that, she retreated, and Sun Chuanting sat down in front of the official case and began to review the official documents.

Li Dang's heart moved, and he secretly thought: This person is hardworking and looks like a good official. How can such an official who is dedicated to the people be killed by me with an arrow, and his conscience can be at peace?

Just thinking about it, a soldier ran outside the door and stood in front of Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting seemed to know that he was coming, and asked without raising his head: "But what is the news?" ”

The soldier replied: "Most of them are not abnormal, but the villages in Yuehuazhuang are a little different." Sun Chuanting stopped writing and asked, "What's the difference?" The soldier replied, "Those villagers seem to have some money, and each of the eight officers has received a few dozen taels of gold and silver, and they are treated with good wine and meat every day, and if this continues, I am afraid that those officers will become their men." ”

Sun Chuanting smiled: "If you become their person, how can you know so much?" In addition to this, what else was found? ”

"The villagers are very lazy in training, but the officers say that they have a strange feeling that these villagers seem to be acting on purpose, or that they are not interested in such training at all," the soldier said. ”

Sun Chuanting paid attention: "You mean that those villagers are likely to have been trained for a long time, and now they are just pretending to fool the officers." ”

The soldier nodded: "That's what all eight of them meant." ”

Sun Chuanting had a grim smile on his face: "In this way, it's very interesting...... You tell them not to show any suspicion and to spy on the village, I think there must be some secret in the village. ”
