A moment later, on the crystal white surface of Weishui ice, several more blooming bright blood flowers appeared, and the two corpses were dragged ashore and placed together.

At the ferry pavilion, the officials of Chunyu County held their breath, kneeling on the cold and hard ground, their hearts were uneasy, except for Heifu sitting on the seat, drinking the hot water boiled by his subordinates, as if nothing had happened.

He didn't get angry and scolded, but drank a few sips of hot water and went down to his stomach calmly, gently put the lacquer cup on the case, and beckoned Chun Yu, who had kneeling pain, to come over, and said with a smile:

"This is the first time in my life that I have been assassinated, Chun Yu county order, you and others, it is really a great gift for me to go to the post!"

Although Heifu's black face could not see the anger, and the smile was as kind as when he first met, but Chun Yu County Commander was about to be frightened, when he heard that the newly appointed county guard was "Wei Shao Shangzao", he didn't spend time asking the people who had recently come to Qidi from Guanzhong, who was this general?

Guanzhong people told him that this was the emperor's close minister, very favored, and when the Northern Expedition to the Huns, there was the eldest son Fusu as the supervising army. In the battle of Henan, he broke the Xiongnu Shan Yu with Li Xin, and after the war, he killed thousands of Xiongnu prisoners, and he was a murderer without blinking......

It was too late for Chun Yu County to make a stammer, but such a bad incident happened, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and he was questioned by Heifu.

"I really don't know how this guy became the county magistrate."

Gong Ao shook his head, the doormen who guarded Heifu were all one in a hundred martial artists, how could the three poor fishermen be his opponents? Three times five divided by two, and then they were killed.

He originally wanted to catch it alive, but the man desperately ran to the thin part of the ice, causing the river ice to crack, fall into the ice hole, and never come out again - the original plan of these three people was to lure Heifu to wait until the thin place, and use external force to cause the ice to crack, even if he couldn't kill the dog guard, he would freeze half his life......

It was clearly an organized, premeditated assassination, but the Chunyu county order was kept in the dark from beginning to end. If it weren't for the fact that the assassin wanted to catch the big fish of Heifu, he would have died long ago if he had let his family cross the river on his back, which was really mediocre to the extreme.

Not only the county magistrate, but also the county lieutenant who was responsible for managing the Tingyi ferry port was also guilty.

Heifu asked the two incompetent guys to kneel down and sober up first, and then said, "Where is Chunyu County?" ”

"The subordinates are here."

A man in his forties, full of Nanyang accent, came out to meet Heifu, claiming to be Chao Ping, and when the county magistrate and the county lieutenant complained of the crime, Chao Ping did not say a word, because he did not have to be responsible for it, but afterwards, Heifu noticed that Chao Ping asked his subordinates to surround the pavilion and did not allow anyone to leave.

Heifu didn't give instructions directly, but asked: "The county is the county commander Zuo Er, who is in charge of justice and prison, what should I do next?" ”

Chao Ping replied like a stream: "The case should be filed first, and these three people should be convicted of treason, although they themselves are dead, their bodies should still be killed, and the heads of the tyrants should abandon the city to deter Xiaoxiao." Then, according to the criminal law, the three clans will be razed! ”

The so-called three clans are parents, brothers, wives, and the families of the three criminals combined, there are also 10 or 20 people.

Chao Ping said indifferently: "When he tattooed his face with ink, gouged off his nose, cut off his left and right arms, whipped him alive, cut off his head, and dumped his body on the street. During the execution, if someone shouts and abuses, pull out his tongue! In this way, the people will be deterred from following suit! ”

This was a harsh punishment for the crime of "rebellion", and Heifu had seen Gao and his friends suffer this punishment.

This is a cruel era, I don't want to be a slave to the country, I am indignant for a while, and I am very happy to raise my arms and exhale it, right? It is easy for me to die on the spot, but the living relatives will be subjected to harsher treatment. Qin Law stipulates that before you commit a crime, if your wife takes the initiative to denounce you, you can avoid being implicated, if not, then you can't get out of the matter.

Heifu nodded indifferently: "As it should be." Then he asked, "And then?" ”

Chao Ping said: "The law says, five families are together, ten families are not, it is not allowed to move without authorization, supervise each other, report each other, if you don't expose it, ten families will sit together." The three thieves, their neighbors, Lidian, Lizuo, and Lijianmen must all sit together and be taken into custody for interrogation, and those who are guilty are convicted of conspiracy, and those who have done so are punished as concubines. ”

If they engage in anti-Qin activities, there will definitely be personnel contacts and secret plots, and their behavior will definitely be different from ordinary people, and their neighbors will not be able to escape responsibility if they know about it but turn a blind eye.

Chao Ping said again: "There are also Weishui Pavilions that these three people have been active for many years, and the pavilion chief and more than ten people, including the thief, the pavilion father, the pavilion pawn, and the boatman, should all be arrested and interrogated. ”

Coincidentally, let the three guys who were dissatisfied with Qin lead the way, and the pavilion chief and the others would definitely not be able to get out of it.

As a result, the number of arrests for torture has changed from three to nearly 100.

This is not Heifu's deliberate expansion of the scope of the attack, but the normal operation of the Qin Dynasty to catch the rebels. Shang Ying thought very clearly back then, as long as they are human, they have social relations, and some people can not care about themselves, but they have to take care of their parents, wives and children, neighbors and friends. In this way, according to the context of interpersonal relationships, combing down one by one, and then fishing up and checking one by one, sooner or later we can find the accomplices of this assassination case.

For example, the rangers who had close contacts with the three of them, the merchants and peddlers who provided them with information, the officials who had the power to arrange for them to take people across the river here, and even the Jiaodong Haoqiang who secretly organized anti-Qin forces......

After listening to the county Cheng's report, Heifu was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "It seems that this Chunyu county finally has a chief official who can do things." ”

"The subordinates are just doing what they do." Chao Ping paused, knowing that he had seized the opportunity.

So Heifu exercised his duties as a county guard, and ordered: "Chun Yu is old and faint in the county order, and after five years in office, he still doesn't know the local language, he doesn't know the traitor, and his corpse is vegetarian, and he is exempted from the county order, and the county is both in charge of Chao Ping!" ”

"The same is true of the county lieutenant, the negligence of governing the county has led to the emergence of treachery and hypocrisy, and connived at the rebels to infiltrate the pavilion, almost causing a catastrophe, and he will also be dismissed from his position! Gong Dafu Gong Ao, acting as a fake county lieutenant. ”

Chun Yu county order and county lieutenant looked at each other, but they didn't expect that on the first day of the new county guard's office, he lost his official seal, but he didn't dare to have any objections, and he was guilty of the crime, and they would go to the county government with Heifu and hand it over to the superintendent to deal with him.

The county Cheng Chaoping has been aggrieved for several years under the incompetent county order, and once he straightened out, he was naturally excited and geared up to investigate the case thoroughly.

But Gong Ao resigned from the Nanchang County Lieutenant and came to join Heifu, and now he wants him to be a fake lieutenant, but he is unwilling in every way, he just wants to protect Heifu nearby.

But Heifu patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "I still have dozens of Menke Township Party members from Nanjun by my side, and you have taken them for so long, it's time to let them be alone." What's more, I can rest assured that you will do things. When this case is over and the new county lieutenant arrives, you come back to me, and I will have another important ......"

Gong Ao had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.

Heifu has always felt that Gong Ao is loyal and brave, and it is a condescension to be the captain of the guard. Now is an opportunity, let him experience again, and by the way, help himself firmly control Chunyu County, the west gate of Jiaodong.

"This is also the beginning of my governance of Jiaodong." Heifu thought to himself.

"This case will be handed over to you and the two of you, and within a month, it must be closed!"

Heifu did not intend to expand the case, but only confined to Chunyu County, where there was a lot of bloodshed, high-pressure rule, and the dismissal of incompetent officials, which helped him to establish his authority.

But elsewhere, it cannot be affected for the time being.

Arrange henchmen to govern, Dasuo County, Heifu can do it. If it affects the whole county, just when he has just taken up his post and Wang Ben has left Qi and returned to Qin, if he does not control it well, there will be a big mess.

Jiaodong County has a population of 130,000 households and more than 700,000 people, and there are probably dozens of chief officials and Baishi officials from Qindi, and the rest are indigenous officials. Coupled with the guests and subordinates brought by the Qin officials, there were no more than 1,000 Qin people in Jiaodong. There were another 2,000 soldiers in Jimo City, but the soldiers came from a variety of sources, most of them were locals, and they were unreliable.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for the tens of thousands of garrisons in Linzi, Jiaodong would have joined forces with the two giants, and they would be able to lift the Jimo County Temple at any time......

Relying on these people to clean the whole county, indiscriminately offending everyone, those real enemies who want Heifu to die, I am afraid that they will laugh out loud in their dreams.

"Unite the majority and fight a handful, if I can't do this, I won't be able to gain a foothold in Jiaodong!"

……

After making up his mind, Heifu only stayed in Chunyu County for two days, which was also the two days of the entire Chunyu County, where chickens and dogs danced.

On the third day, Heifu's motorcade was about to leave Chunyu, and as he passed through the city, it snowed again, and Heifu looked out of the window and saw a horrible scene.

More than 20 bloody corpses of the "five punishments" were hung outside the city for public display, and Heifu could smell the stench of intestines and flesh.

The weather was cold, and the hot flesh quickly stiffened, and the limbs were twisted, and the face was terrifying, like an ice sculpture of a ghost.

This terrible scene shocked the locals who were ordered to come to watch, and they all trembled, fear prevailed over anger, and resistance was to pay a heavy price. So when Heifu's carriage passed, the natives were terrified, and no one dared to face it.

If three people rebel, dozens or hundreds of people will be killed, and hundreds of people will be punished and sentenced. In the next month, Chunyu County, which is covered with frost and white mist, will be shrouded in the black terror of Qin officials!

This is just to let the local officials act according to the law, without any anger and revenge, tyranny, not casually.

The snow seemed to be getting heavier outside, and Heifu closed the window and closed his eyes.

"Terror can be deterred for a while, but if only terror remains, can such a rule be stable in the long run?"

The chariot and horse went east and left Chunyu, leaving only two rows of bloody rutted marks on the snow......
