The reason why Nanjun is called "Nan" is because it is relatively far south in the Qin State Guanzhong, and the summers here always seem to be extraordinarily long. At the beginning of June, as the rainy season dissipated and the heat wave struck again, the ancient Yunmengze seemed to be boiling and steaming in the rising heat......

In this hot weather where everyone wants to hide at home and not go out, it was Heifu's turn to rest and mu, so he hid at home and didn't want to go anywhere, but the royal mulberry couldn't sit still.

"Lord, today you are going to put Yun Man and Liping to death in the city, won't you go and see?"

Heifu was sitting in front of an empty slip with a pen in his hand and pondering, and when he heard the words, he said: "Since I arrested these two people, their fate has been doomed, what is there to see?" ”

Then he waved his hand: "You go by yourself, I won't travel today." ”

Sang Mu answered and went out, he had been involved in this matter from beginning to end, and as a messenger to help Heifu send a message to Lexian, so I really wanted to go and see today, Heifu and they had planned the "results" for more than half a year.

At this time, half a month has passed since Yun Man, the left lieutenant of An Lu, and Liping, the third elder of Zhuanshui Township, were "shuanggui" by Heifu on the spot. Because Heifu asked Liham to design Yun Man and Liping to come together and arrest them on the spot, ruling out the possibility of the two families being arrested by force, Yun's guests and servants scattered after hearing the inquiry, and Li Shi honestly did not dare to make a mistake.

Heifu left some of the county soldiers to assist Anlu County in arresting the Yun children and guests who had escaped, and he himself escorted the two to Gangneung non-stop, and handed them over to the thief Cao and the prison Cao, thus completing the mission.

During Heifu's absence, Dou Ran, a tough man, couldn't bear the torture of waterboarding, so he recruited everything he could.

And the letters confiscated from Ritchie's house are all ordinary greetings. There is a saying in these years, called "The three worlds are the king; Reincarnation, of the Lord. It means that as a retainer who serves three generations, he must regard him as his own prince and must not betray him, and four generations will be regarded as his master, and life and death will be taken in his words.

Ritchie has served the Ruo Ao clan for more than ten generations, and the deep affection cannot be separated by a national border.

However, this is the Qin State where the law is above human affection, and stealing a mulberry leaf is also guilty of theft, and it is also illegal to collect gold and ignore it. Ritchie's behavior is like in the sixties and seventies of the last century, when he was in the mainland, but he kept writing letters with Taiwan, and he was easily labeled as an espionage.

There are many cool officials in the county government, who are the best at picketing details, and those recounts of the friendship between the two families can be regarded as nostalgia for the Chu State and dissatisfaction with the Qin State official government.

Those seemingly ordinary greetings can be regarded as leaking An Lu's recent situation, especially revealing the details of the Ruoao tomb robbery case cracked by Heifu, which almost put Heifu and Li You in danger......

Heifu remembered that after verifying the matter, Lieutenant Li was very angry: "If this old man says more, maybe this lieutenant and Heifu will be the prisoners of Douran!" “

Soon, Liping's "crime of communicating with the princes" was confirmed, and he was sentenced to abandon the city, because his son and Lixian reported meritorious, and this crime ended without implicating his family. When he learned of the verdict, the elder laughed loudly, saying that he had died a well-deserved death, and that Heifu could not help but feel sympathy for him......

Yun Man's case is a little different, the cautious Yun Man has long since destroyed all the letters, according to Dou Ran's confession, although the two families have dealings, but they are both on the commercial level, using their respective powers to communicate with each other in peacetime......

The Yun family sent their family's surplus grain and leather to Hubei in exchange for more gold, tin, and lacquerware in the Chu State! All transactions are carried out secretly in Yunmeng Daze, and because of this, the Yun family is rich and called Anlu, and is known as "Yunban County"!

Yun Man's crime is no longer a simple "communication with the princes", but the use of his position to carry out smuggling activities, fortunately, the all-encompassing Qin law also has corresponding provisions.

Xi, who was in charge of hearing the case, first pleaded guilty to the county guard and the county Cheng in shame, saying that he had been in Anlu for many years, but he didn't know that the Yun family was secretly doing this kind of thing, which was his dereliction of duty, and then he held the law in his hand and said solemnly:

"Shang Jun has a saying, Su is born and gold dies, Su dies and gold is born. If the gold is one or two into the territory, the twelve stones of millet will be lost abroad! If gold and jewels are accumulated in the territory, and grain is exchanged, the granary will be empty and the country will be weak! The customs are not strict, the forbidden network is leaky, and the rice and grain are all owned by the enemy! ”

"Yun Mantong princes, this crime is also, as a county lieutenant, but he knows the law and violates the law, and trades with foreign countries privately, this crime is also two, the law prohibits grain from leaving the country, and this crime is three!"

Xi who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes angrily reprimanded in court: "The county guard once wrote "The Way of Officials", and there are five mistakes in saying that the officials have five mistakes, one is called a lowly and expensive shellfish, the second is uneasy about his dynasty, the third is that the official is good at taking, the fourth is disrespectful to the order, and the fifth is that the family forgets the official mansion. If there is one of the five, it is an inferior official, and there are three of the five, and the official is cut and removed. ”

"The above crimes should be investigated together, and they should be cut in half!"

At this time, Yun Man was too late to quibble, and he, together with Liping, was sentenced to be beheaded today.

The old grudge was avenged, and Heifu should have been happy, but for some reason, he was a little unhappy afterwards, and he didn't even want to see the death of his old enemy.

In the evening, Sang Mu returned, and during the meal, he excitedly recounted how many onlookers were at the time of the execution, and that on a hot day, the county tycoons of Anlu were dressed in Chu clothes and killed like cattle in the city......

"Li Ping was calm and went to the execution indifferently, while Yun Man was greedy for life and afraid of death, struggled for a while, feces and urine flowed sideways, and finally he was knocked unconscious and carried to the execution platform."

Sang Mu described the scene of Yun Man's killing: "The knife and axe were not fast enough, and it took three slashes to break his waist, and Yun Man's upper body struggled to climb forward two or three steps, and then he stopped moving, his eyes widened, and he couldn't close them, which was really terrifying!" ”

Heifu listened quietly, his mouth was stuffed with food, but there was no fluctuation in his heart, maybe Yun Man felt that he was very wronged, but it was a pity that there were many "miserable" comparisons in seal characters, and I don't know how many he could write......

After swallowing the corn in the fish soup, Heifu said: "He really should die without turning a blind eye, because the Li clan has only one patriarch dead, but the Yun clan has the entire tree withered with branches and leaves." ”

After the arrest of Yun Man, Heifu instructed Lixian and Ji Ying to hand over the Yun's black material collected in the past six months, and began to investigate it from top to bottom.

In Anlu County and Jiangling, there were countless people who sued the Yun family, adultery, private fighting, buying people from Chu as slaves, as well as killing cattle, gathering drinks, and playing games, every crime is well documented.

In this way, the Yun family, which used to have children all over Anlu County, fell overnight, except for Yun Man's nephew Yun Xiong who was witty enough, on the day when Heifu went to Anlu to arrest Yun Man, he fled from Yunmengze with a few people, and the entire Yun clan was almost not spared.

Those who were officials were all investigated, and several of them were guilty of serious crimes and had to be executed along with Yun Man, while most of them lost their official positions and even became prisoners.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Cao officials in Anlu County were vacated by one-third overnight!

The cause of all the fruits was planted in the beginning, and the old grudge was over, which was no longer Heifu's concern.

When Sang Mu went to watch the execution, he had already considered the words and wrote a short and easy-to-understand official document......

……

The next day, when Heifu went to work at the county governor's office, everyone was still talking about yesterday's execution. Li Youyi brought up the old matter again, and praised Heifu for designing the arrest of Yun Man and Lixian, and making a chaos that might lead to turmoil in the border county disappear without bloodshed.

Heifu told Li You solemnly: "County Captain, An Lu's peace is just an illusion, although the fall of the Yun family has removed a cancer for An Lu, but it has also cut off a piece of meat, and Yu An Lu has been hurt a lot." Now in the Anlu County Lieutenant's Office, half of the officials have been dismissed because they are involved with the Yun family, and there are not enough people to handle daily affairs. And the right lieutenant of Anlu County is a foreigner, and it is difficult for people to convince the public, and the recruitment and training of Anlu County may be affected, and even become the weakness of Nanjun, giving the Chu State an opportunity to take advantage of......"

Anlu is a large county in Nanjun, with tens of thousands of household registrations and more than 1,000 conscripts, plus in last year's war, everyone in Anlu led by Heifu had a brilliant performance, so Li You planned to let Anlu soldiers and county soldiers together as the main force of the Nanjun Corps, if this incident affected the conscription, this is not what he wants to see.

"Since Heifu told me about this, there must be a countermeasure, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Heifu took out the slip in his arms and put his hands in front of Li You's case.

Li You looked at it and found that it was some suggestions for the current situation of An Lu, including quickly calming the hearts of the people, and at the same time highlighting the outstanding grassroots officials and nobles to fill the gap left by the fall of the Yun family.

Hefu repeated the thoughts in the article and said: "Hao Chang is entrenched in the place, not only in Anlu, but has always been one of the stubborn diseases of Nanjun. Ye County Shou once carried out the county rectification, killing hundreds of people in a row, and the county chiefs were somewhat restrained, but they still did not dare to poison the place, but there were not a few people who used public weapons for private purposes like Yun Man. ”

"Taking An Lu as an example, now that the Yun clan has fallen and the Li clan has also died, it is really a good opportunity to eliminate the power of the elder in one fell swoop! Those Shengdou officials who were buried in the pavilion because they had no family background and couldn't find a way out, so they had hope of getting ahead! ”

Heifu saw very clearly that a small peasant family of five to eight people, this is the foundation of the Qin State and the army, compared with the clan chiefs, these people are the biggest beneficiaries of military merit.

"Well said! In this way, if there are competent manpower to coordinate the implementation, Anlu will definitely be able to recover quickly, even better! ”

Li You clapped his hands and praised, and then hesitated: "An Lu is a big county, and this vacant position of left lieutenant must indeed have a suitable person to fill the ......."

Speaking of which, why didn't he understand the unspoken meaning of Heifu's words today? He smiled and said: "The right lieutenant must be an official in a different place, but the left lieutenant can be served by a local, Heifu, you are an Anlu person, you are familiar with the situation of Anlu, and you know the military affairs, if I remove you as the left lieutenant of Anlu County, can you stabilize the situation in Anlu, and then train more than 1,000 children of Anlu into a strong force for me?" ”
