"What Zuo Bing Cao Shi said is exactly what I am worried about......"

Li Youshen agreed with Heifu's suggestion, because when it comes to use, their family is one of the best.

More than ten years ago, his father Li Si first entered Xianyang, first became the doorman of Wenxin Hou Lü Buwei, and was able to serve as "Lang", that is, the official of the king's attendants.

It was in this position that Li Si was able to get a glimpse of the temperament of the King of Qin, do what he liked, and lobby with the words of "urgent merger of the six countries", showing his talent for the first time.

So the king of Qin was overjoyed, thinking that he had found a talent who was quite in line with his heart, appointed him as the prime minister, and let Li Si personally preside, and sent strategists to bring gold and jade to lobby the princes. At the same time, he was also responsible for dividing the monarchs and ministers of the six countries, and waited until his government was corrupted, and then he would crusade against the army with good generals.

Later generations used this incident to make up the spy agency "Black Ice Terrace".

Therefore, now that the State of Chu sent assassins to assassinate the county Shouteng, in fact, it was just a repetition of what the Qin State and the princes had often done in the past few hundred years, and there was nothing new.

Li You once heard his father talk about it, and after a few years of doing this errand, he was promoted to guest secretary, and his future was bright, until the tenth year of the reign of King Qin, but he encountered a major crisis......

That year was really eventful, first Xiangguo Lü Buwei was implicated in the Chang Yu case and was dismissed, and at the same time, under the investigation of the strategist spy presided over by Li Si, the tired Qin plan of the Korean Zheng Guo to lobby the Qin State to overhaul the ditch was also exposed! According to the laws of Qin, Zheng Guo should die, and the king of Qin, under the persuasion of his clan relatives, developed a sense of distrust of the scholars of the Six Kingdoms, so he expelled the guests!

Li Si, as a native of Shangcai of the Chu State, was also in the ranks of the expulsion, but unlike other guest ministers who were dejected and ready to leave the Qin State, he took this crisis as an opportunity, and a "Letter of Exhortation to the Guest" made the King of Qin change his mind and began to further promote Li Si. At the same time, Li Si also became the benefactor and leader of the scholars in the Six Kingdoms of Qin at that time, and since then he has risen to the top of the court......

By the way, Li Si also took his family to Xianyang, and the Li family began to completely abandon their past identities and become loyal ministers of the King of Qin.

That year, Li You and them arrived in Qin at about the same time, and there was also a Liang man named Wei Yu......

He improved the strategy proposed by Li Si to use the Six Kingdoms, destroy their alliances, recruit their talents, and divide their monarchs and ministers, and further proposed to the King of Qin:

"With the strength of Qin, the princes of the six countries are like the kings of the counties, however, the ministers are afraid that the princes will join forces again, and attack Qin together by surprise, which is the reason why Zhibo, Fucha, and King Xiang died. May the king not love property, bribe his nobles, and plot against him, but if he dies 300,000 gold, then the princes can do their best! ”

Pay 300,000 taels of gold to get the world, this account is simply more cost-effective than Lü Buwei's business, so the king of Qin instructed Li Si and Wei Yi to jointly preside over this matter and cultivate the inner circle in the Six Kingdoms.

What is the meaning of "inner room"? Sun Tzu said: "Those who are in the inner room are used by their officials." It refers to bribing the enemy's magnates and officials as spies, or using them to gather intelligence, or urging them to defect.

Since the "insiders" are mainly the enemy's "officials", these people often hold the core secrets, have a deeper understanding of the enemy's political and military affairs, and even hold a certain military command.

Guo Kai of Zhao State and Hou Sheng of Qi State are both the inner chambers of Qin State. Guo Kai helped the Qin State get rid of the confidant Li Mu, and when the Qin State attacked Han and Wei and swept Yan Zhao, he let Qi Wangjian blindly pursue isolationism, and when the fight was in full swing outside, the Qi State was like an ostrich, digging his head deep into the sand, and chanting: "As long as I don't resist the Qin State, the King of Qin will not destroy me......"

Under the auspices of Wei Yi and Li Si, the inner chamber of the Qin State spread throughout the Six Kingdoms, and tasted the sweetness of this strategy. So when Heifu said that the Chu State might also have left a lot of insiders in Nanjun, Li You, the son of the former spy leader of the Qin State, suddenly became vigilant.

To say that the rest of the counties have Chu intermediates, Li You will not believe it, because he is very confident in the law system of the Qin State, but Nanjun is an exception.

Nanjun, as the former Neigi land of the Chu State, is still called "Western Chu" by some people, and the folk language and cultural customs are consistent with those of Huaibei.

What's even worse is that in addition to the three chief officials of the order, the captain, and the cheng, there are many former Chu nobles in the county and in the county. After these people surrendered to Qin, they turned into Qin officials, holding the real power of each Cao township, although after two or three generations, they have regarded themselves as Qin people, and took Qin law as a teaching, but from what happened in the Shangsi Festival, it can be seen that Chu Ci Qu Fu is popular among local scholars, and doctors are honored to wear Chu-style high crowns, and many people even feel nostalgic for Chu, thinking that it is a good time for nobles!

"The subordinates thought so, too."

Heifu continued to instigate: "Qin was defeated by Chu last year, and those who don't know the general trend are afraid that they will be bribed by the Chu people because of their strange thoughts and become their inner ......."

In this way, Li You, who was familiar with his father's side and knew the dangers of the inside, finally made up his mind: "Thief Cao Peng, together with Prison Cao, you will continue to thoroughly investigate the assassination case, and you will definitely follow the vine and find out the inner room behind it!" ”

Immediately, Li You looked at Heifu again: "If those insiders resist with their guest clansmen, and the left soldier Cao Peng, you will lead the county soldiers to exterminate them!" ”

……

The thief Cao is the master of thieves, similar to the Provincial Public Security Department in later generations, Tang Qian is the father of Tang Jue who was dumped on the spot by the woman in yellow at the blind date meeting of the Shangsi Festival. Tang Jue has now joined the medical and emergency personnel, and he is considered Heifu's subordinate, so Tang Qian also has some friendship with him, and after leaving the county governor's mansion, he complained to Heifu:

"Zuo Bing Cao Shi, it's not easy to catch this inner room."

Tang Qian has his own hardships, and now all the Cao lords and subordinate officials in the county are all descendants of Dr. Chu Guoshi, and the connections and accumulation left by the family are not something that can be eliminated casually, and it is a rare thing to be born from a common person like Heifu.

Therefore, Tang Qian thought that if he vigorously investigated the inner room, it would cause new turmoil, and when the time came, everyone in Jiangling City would be in danger, and the local clans would also be uneasy, wouldn't the order of Nanjun be chaotic?

Heifu's real purpose is not to "track down the inner world", anyway, when the Chu State is destroyed, everything doesn't matter. Originally, they had to be Qin officials with peace of mind, and it was not until more than ten years later, when the new storm and fire at the end of Qin were ignited, that they had the opportunity to resurface......

So Heifu comforted Tang Qian and said: "Of course, most of the officials are good officials of Qin, but there are a small number of people who have Chu in their hearts to make trouble in them. Didn't the county lieutenant also say that while handling the assassination case, follow the clues and secretly track it down, don't make a big show and startle the snake. ”

At this time, Heifu saw that there was no one left and right, so he lowered his voice and said: "But I also have a clue here, which may be useful to the thief Cao Peng......"

Tang Qian was a little surprised: "Oh? What did Zuo Bing Cao Shi find? ”

Heifu smiled: "It has nothing to do with the case in Gangneung, it is about my hometown Anlu, and I suspect that in Anlu County, there is also an inner room!" has been secretly communicating with Chu State! ”

Tang Qian was overjoyed, he urgently needed the results to be able to communicate to Li You, so he urged: "Please tell me in detail about the left soldier Cao Shi." ”

"This clue involves a key witness, that is, Hu Gong Douran, who was captured last year, and he mentioned that there was an old minister of the Ruo Ao clan in Anlu County, and he had correspondence with him, but he did not say who it was! Now that I think about it, that person is probably a Chu country who has been leaking An Lu's truth to the Chu State. ”

"There is such a thing!" Tang Qian was a little surprised, and asked, "I don't know where that Dou Ran is now?" ”

Heifu said: "Two months ago, I asked Prison Cao to send a letter to Nanyang County, and handed over Dou Ran to Nanjun to investigate the matter thoroughly. Just today, after I left the county guard's mansion, I went to the prison again, and found that Dou Ran had been taken to the county prison and was ready to be interrogated tomorrow! I will be a witness to confront Dou Ran and force him to say what he is known for! Once I sit down, I hope that the thief Cao Peng can help me arrest him! ”

PS: Recently, I studied the number of stones for each position in the Qin and Han dynasties, and re-set the number of stones for each position in the lower county: the county guard is 2,000 stones, the county lieutenant is 2,000 stones, the county is 600 stones, the chief officer of Cao is 300 stones, and the history of each Cao is 200 stones.
