"The county lieutenant, Dou Ran couldn't bear the punishment, so he confessed that his ancestor Ruo Ao clan had ruled Anlu for 400 years and 20 generations. After the Dou clan moved east with the king of Chu, the Yun clan and the Li clan, the old ministers who stayed in the local area, all secretly exchanged letters with the Dou clan......"

In the evening of the same day, Heifu and Tang Qian returned to the mansion of the county governor of Yingxian County and reported the progress of the case to Li Youyu.

Tang Qianyang proudly made a report, although he had not made much progress in tracking down the "inner room" of Jiangling City, but he was able to use the two small fish of An Lu Li's and Yun's to make a difference to Li You, and the two families had little impact on the entire Nan County, but they were also the head of a county!

"For example, the left soldier Cao Shi was the pavilion chief in Anlu, and the case of thieves stealing the tomb of the Ruo Ao clan was solved by Li Ping, the patriarch of the Li clan, who informed Dou Ran."

Li You was immediately afraid, this matter almost made Heifu's plan to surrender fail, and he was also taken prisoner, this Liping, it is really hateful!

Heifu didn't want to steal Tang Qian's limelight, so he had been listening silently beside him, but the image of a person appeared in his heart, that is, last year, Layue, he invited him to his home as a guest, and also invited officials to be matchmakers, and wanted to marry his daughter to Heifu's Li clan patriarch, and after retirement, the three respected township elders in Zhuanshui Township, Liping!

Although the marriage did not take place, because of Heifu's confidant Liham, Ritchell was still close to him on the whole.

"I've injured a friendly soldier by mistake."

He regretted it a little, he should have thought of it a long time ago, how could Yun Man tell Dou Ran about Heifu's heroic deeds? Moreover, he had also heard Lixian mention that the old people of the Ritchie family are still telling some stories about the Ruoao family, which is not forgetting the old master.

However, this emotion soon disappeared, and Dou Ran also confessed some black material to Yun Man, which is what Heifu wants......

Tang Qian said: "As for Yun Man, he has some trade contacts with the Dou clan. According to Dou Ran, in the years before Qin and Chu went to war, the two sides still had some merchant ships to communicate with each other, and the Yun clan, by virtue of his status as a county lieutenant, secretly bought some gold and tin from the Dou clan to make a profit, and at the same time sold the rhino wood in Yunmengze to the Dou clan. ”

"However, as for whether these two are inside, revealing the truth of Nanjun, Dou Ran flatly denied it......"

After hearing this, Li You looked at Feng Jing on the side: "Death history, what should these two families be guilty of?" ”

Feng Jingying said: "The ancients, the people, the ministers, have no diplomacy, and dare not be the second king!" It is a common practice for a courtier to not entertain and associate with a foreign person without the order of the monarch. Dou Ran is the county prince of Chu State, a feudal monarch, and he is also within this ban. ”

Heifu secretly slandered in his heart, so to speak, isn't Ye Junshou of this county a foreign country during his tenure as an official in South Korea, and he can be regarded as a minister who Han Fei scolded for "forgetting the master of diplomacy in order to enter his relationship"......

However, judging from the international environment of the Warring States, letters and trade exchanges between various countries are very frequent, and if the princes are so strict with their own courtiers, there is no place for Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, and others.

Therefore, the princes only forbade it verbally, but the Qin State made a law specifically for this purpose, and severely punished one if it was caught......

Feng Jing said: "When the first monarch Zhao Wang, the 'crime of passing through the princes' was added, if these two families sit on this crime, they should be punished according to law!" ”

"Guilty ...... Princes"

Li Youchin shook his head, and then remembered: "If I remember correctly, King Zhao's Hedong County Shouwang Ji was sentenced for sitting on this law and abandoned the city in Xianyang!" ”

Heifu also heard about this matter, Wang Ji was originally a Qin state confidant, that is, a diplomat, he assisted the down-and-out Wei man Fan Ju to enter Qin, hid him in his own carriage and transported him to Xianyang, and recommended Fan Ju to King Qin Zhao.

Fan Juxian made a long-distance friendship and close attack strategy, and was reused by King Qin Zhao, and after becoming the prime minister of Qin, he did not treat Wang Ji as a life-saving benefactor, and under his strong recommendation, Wang Ji and another benefactor, Zheng Anping, were promoted. Wang Ji even became the county guard of Hedong, and enjoyed the privilege of not reporting the political and economic situation in the county to the imperial court for three years.

After the Battle of Changping, the Qin army attacked Handan, and Fan Ju thought that Zhao Guogang had just died 400,000 young men, and Handan had no ability to resist, so he strongly advocated Zheng Anping as a general.

Who expected that the sequelae of Wu Anjun's massacre began to appear, the Zhao people hated the enemy and united as one, Wei Gongzi Wuji also sent troops to help, Zheng Anping not only did not win, but in Handan with more than 20,000 subordinates were surrounded by the Zhao Wei coalition army, this greedy guy who was afraid of death led the people to surrender to Zhao and was named Wuyang Jun.

At this time, Fan Ju was embarrassed, because according to the Qin Law, if the recommended person violates the law and treason, his host will also be guilty of the same crime!

King Qin Zhao and Fan Ju can be regarded as kings and ministers, and they can't bear to kill him, under the pretext that Zheng Anping has changed his position once after being recommended, so Fan Ju does not have to be punished, and he also ordered the country: "Those who dare to speak out about Zheng Anping's affairs will be punished for their crimes!" "I used the prerogative of a king to suppress this matter.

Unexpectedly, two years after this incident, Wang Ji was the county guard of Hedong, and was reported by his subordinates that he had an affair with the princes.

Wang Ji was really recommended by Fan Ju to serve in Hedong County, but he was not promoted during this period. This time, in front of the law of Rushan, King Qin Zhao couldn't protect Fan Ju, so Fan Ju died in a row because of this incident......

It can be seen from this that the Qin State dealt with the ministers and foreign fornications, and the punishment was relatively severe, but Nanjun was on the border, and the officials in the territory had a historical relationship with the Chu State, so the connection was severed.

If Qin Chu was peaceful, no one would have enough to eat and support the strict investigation, but now that Qin Chu has become an enemy country, and the assassination of the county guard has occurred, foreign people will receive and interact with each other, so it is easy to put on a "inside" hat.

As a native of Anlu, Heifu also reported in detail: "Yun Man is the left lieutenant of Anlu County, in charge of military power, his family is Anlu County Hao, there are nearly 1,000 clansmen, and hundreds of servants and guests. Liping is a townsman in Zhuanshui Township, the former three elders, there are also hundreds of clansmen, if these two people are really the inner middle of the Chu State, it is not trivial, if they are in turmoil, to the enemy with Anlu, then the land of a county is all eroded, and will threaten the safety of several counties next to Yunmengze! Be sure to arrest Yun Man and Liping quickly, take them to the county to confront Dou Ran, and investigate this matter thoroughly! ”

"This statement is reasonable, and there is no room for loss in key border areas."

The pressure of a county's customs defense was pressed on his shoulders, Li You didn't dare to have any carelessness, and the hundred-foot room was burned with a sudden gap, so in Li You's heart, he would rather kill these people than let them go! It must not affect the preparation plan.

With that in mind, he gave the order.

"Left soldier Cao Shi."

"Yui!" Heff is out again.

"Give you a tiger talisman, bring three hundred county soldiers, and go to Anlu to arrest two people in the name of inspecting the recruitment situation in the eastern counties!"

Li You gave the tiger talisman to Heifu with his own hand and held his hand, the Zuo Chang's eyes were full of murderous intent: "If the Yun family and the Li family dare to jump off the beam to resist...... It can be regarded as a crime of rebellion, and it will be punished by raising troops! ”

……

After returning to his residence, Heifu called the coachman Sangmu, who was squatting outside and chatting with the little servant.

Sangmu is the younger brother of Huaimu who died in the battle of Chu State, Heifu saw that he was honest, so he took him out of Jingling County, but he was not regarded as a servant, what Heifu ate, let him enjoy the same food, treat him like a brother. So a few months passed, and Sang Mu also became his confidant.

"Feed the horses, put the spare wheels on the chariot, tomorrow I have official business, and I have to go to another county."

Mulberry answered, and immediately went to the stable to prepare.

Heifu went into the house, and behind the bed, he asked his sister-in-law to help him make a secret grid, and found a few slips, which were letters sent from An Lu.

It was not a letter written by the elder brother and younger brother, but a report made by Heifu's subordinates every half a month, all of which were written by Liham, and sent to the ...... by Ji Ying, who was the "director of the post office" in a township

Liham is currently a captain in the county, and he is always monitoring Yun Man. At the same time, Ji Ying, Xiao Tao and others, who were small officials in the township and pavilion, were also secretly investigating the Yun family under the command of Lixian.

Although Yun Man is cautious, but the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, dozens of Yun children, and there are many officials everywhere. Although he was shocked by Qin Law and didn't dare to do anything too excessive, there were countless small mistakes. Accumulate a lot, and now a lot of black material has been collected.

These things are not fatal in normal times, at most Yun Man is responsible, and a few of his children have lost their officials, and that's it. But throwing it out when the Yun family was suspected of "communicating with the princes" was enough to add fuel to the fire and completely downfall the family.

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?"

An Lu is Heifu's hometown, and his relatives and henchmen are all there, and if he doesn't move the Yun family, he can't be at ease outside. What's more, Yun Man once had a murderous intention against him, which was his late counterattack.

Hefu silently put away the slips again, and then found a fine piece of silk, lit a lamp made of animal anointing oil, and thought about it in the flickering candlelight.

He was pondering the man Liham.

Heifu remembered the cloudy day in the snow, and the scene of his first acquaintance with Liham, and this literate pavilion guard looked like a person who was unwilling to accept the status quo. Then I thought of the ruthlessness of the Waihuang War, in order to win the knighthood, Lixian did not hesitate to instigate Heifu to kill the old man of the Wei people.

As for the time when Heifu surrendered, Lixian quelled Xu Yang's rebellion in one fell swoop with Gongao, Xiaotao and others in Liyang City, and Heifu will never forget it. If it weren't for these powerful subordinates, Heifu would probably have been a prisoner of the Chu State, maybe he would still be the Douran retainer who was tortured to death by him today......

Since then, Heifu has regarded Leham as the most powerful and worthy of the great task. By the way, he also has a son named Licura, and twenty or thirty years later, he may also be a talent no less than his father.

Finally, Heifu thought of Liham's attitude towards the clan and the patriarch when he went to the Rhi for a banquet.

"He quoted what I said, saying that the clan is just a person who is a former and a descendant, just the icing on the cake, and I am the ...... who sends charcoal in the snow."

Thinking so, Heifu made up his mind, put down his pen like flying, wrote seal characters on the silk, and after it dried, stuffed it into a bamboo tube and sealed his mouth.

At this time, Sang Mu also came in, saying that the carriage and horses were ready, and he could leave early tomorrow morning.

"That best red horse doesn't have to be a hitch, that's for you." The red horse "Red Gall" bought in Anlu is already in the prime of life, not only durable, but also fast, and is an old comrade-in-arms of Heifu.

Sang Mu was a little surprised: "Lord, you don't want me to drive this time?" ”

This honest boy thought that his driving skills were not good, and he was disgusted by Heifu, so he immediately bowed down and pleaded guilty.

Hev pulled him up: "I have something else for you to do......"

He gave the letter to the illiterate Sangmu, and instructed: "Early tomorrow morning, when the gates of the city are opened at sunrise, you will ride away." If an acquaintance sees it, he will say that he has something to do in Jingling County......"

Sang Mu was very strange: "What am I going to do in Jingling?" ”

Heifu smiled: "It's fake to go to Jingling, you have to go to Anlu for me!" "During Heifu's stay in the county, Sang Mu once went to Anlu County for him, and he also knew his subordinates, who were good candidates to be messengers.

"You must travel day and night, arrive at the county seat of Anlu, and give this letter to Lieutenant Shi Liham, who is in the county lieutenant's office! And tell him a word for me......"

Heifu said: "The survival of the clan and the future of the career are all in one thought!" I hope to see that in the city of Liyang, that decisive Lijun! ”
