Chapter 1 Sergeant, please show your ID!
In September of the twentieth year of the reign of King Qin (227 B.C.), in Anlu County, South County of Qin, in the evening, it rained on the bank of Yunmengze, causing ripples in the lake, and the plantains were scattered.
In a humble inn by the lake, the white-eyed "housekeeper", that is, the owner, was busy humming a Chudi ballad, when he heard a dog barking outside, followed by a heavy knock on the door.
"Someone is coming at this late hour." He cursed, and then slowly moved over and opened the door.
"Thank you, sir!"
The visitor came in embarrassed, only to see that he was wearing a wet brown coat, wearing a silk shirt underneath, stepping on straw sandals, using a wooden stick as a hairpin, and fixing his hair in a bun on the left side of his head......
The young man wiped the rain from his face, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said to the housekeeper: "Uncle, the rain is blocked, I want to stay in the guest house for one night." ”
"Can there be a test or a pass?"
As soon as he heard that this person wanted to stay in the hotel, Sheren instantly changed from an ordinary country man to a shrewd man, and his eyes swept to the short sword on the young man's waist.
"There is a test."
The young man buried his head in the blanket and dug it out, carefully took out the "inspection" made of poplar planks and the "pass" made of willow strips, and saw that the words on it were not wet by the rain, so he breathed a sigh of relief, handed his hands to the housekeeper, and introduced himself at the same time.
"I'm a Shiwu of Yunmeng Township, Anlu County, and my husband can call me Heifu!"
"Hef?"
She Ren has many acquaintances in Yunmengxiang, but he has never heard of this person, his eyes wander back and forth between "Inspection" and Heifu's face, this seriousness makes Heifu have the illusion that he was checked by the police in his previous life, and he broke out in a cold sweat for a while......
I can't help but be weak-hearted, because his identity can be said to be true or false!
It turned out that he was no longer the original Qin native "Heifu", but a student of a provincial police academy in the 21st century, who was admitted to the county police station after graduation, and went to the lake with friends to celebrate, but unfortunately drowned in order to save a little boy who fell into the water.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a hard couch, surrounded by a group of "strangers" dressed in simple clothes.
Later, I learned that it was his mother, older brother, younger brother, etc. I probably encountered the vulgar passage called "Crossing" in the novel, and I also returned to more than 2,000 years ago in one breath and became a young man named "Heifu" in Anlu County, Qinguo!
"Heifu, isn't this the Qin soldier in the 'China's earliest family letter'."
He had watched some programs reporting on Yunmeng and Qin Jian, and was especially impressed by "Heifu Mumu", but he didn't expect that he would become the owner of that letter......
He shuddered at the thought of his future, and the TV show said that Heifu had written a letter in the barracks. The two brothers were just ordinary pawns of the Qin army, not only had to carry out combat missions, but also lacked food and clothing, so they had to write a letter to ask their family for money to buy clothes, saying that if they didn't send money, they would die! Hurry, hurry!
It is unknown whether the clothes and money that Heifu asked for from his family were sent to future generations, but one thing is certain for archaeologists: during the excavation, there was only this letter in the tomb and no Heifu's bones, that is, Heifu probably died in the war between Qin and Chu, leaving only this letter, which was brought into the tomb by his family as a thought......
"Will I die on the battlefield and have no bones left?"
Heifu began to rack his brains about how to avoid the fate of dying in battle in the future, and before he could come up with an eyebrow, the local village chief (Li Zheng) suddenly came to the door and asked to see him by name!
It turned out that Heifu was 17 years old this year, and according to the laws of the Qin State, he, as an adult man, should be "Fu Ji", that is, register his household name, and bear the obligation to serve.
Although he had received some training in the police academy in his previous life and had seen blood during his internship, it was one thing to fight alone, and it was one thing to fight alone on the battlefield where tens of millions of people were fighting.
His eldest brother laughed when he heard his concerns, answering Heifu's doubts.
Qin Guo is still very thoughtful in this regard, as the first time in his life, Heifu only needs to go to Anlu County to be a "guard" for a month, help the public repair the city and stand guard, or receive military training, and will not go to the battlefield, Heifu is relieved.
The deadline for the Anlu County guards to assemble was the first day of October, and now it was the end of September, and the service period was in full swing, so Heifu had to hurriedly pack his bags and go on the road.
When saying goodbye outside the door, his mother and eldest brother sincerely told him a thousand things, which made Heifu, who lost his mother at a young age in his previous life and was withdrawn in his childhood, feel a touch of home warmth and began to gradually identify with this identity......
At this time, Heifu's heart was also much more steady, he thought: "If you come, you will be safe, anyway, it is still too early before the big battle that will determine my life and death, and it is useless to worry, it is better to watch and listen more, understand this era well, and slowly think about how to save my life." ”
As a result, Heifu put his anxiety behind him and began to look curiously at this country, which was called "Violent Qin" in the history books.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, along the way, the completeness of the Qin State system and the strictness of the law surprised Heifu! I thought I was on the wrong set, is this still ancient?
For example, he came to stay in this guest house and gave up the "test" and "pass" that people asked for.
"Inspection" is the ID card of the Qin people, made of palm-wide poplar wood, which is engraved with the identity of Heifu's hometown: "Nanjun, Anlu County, Yunmengxiang, Sunset, named Heifu, the second son of the family, is Shiwu, seven feet five inches high." ”
Shiwu is the name of the Qin State for the flat-headed common people who do not have titles. In addition, the people of Qin live next to each other, five households and one army, ten households and one tithe, and they have to farm well on weekdays, and they are not allowed to leave their hometowns at will. If you want to go far away, not only must you have a reasonable reason, but you also have to have the village head (Lizheng) and the police station chief (pavilion chief) where your place of origin is located to write you a certificate, which is the "biography", which is equivalent to a letter of introduction from the people of Qin.
As in modern times, in the Qin State, you can't live in a hotel and open a house without an ID card and a letter of introduction, and if the shopkeeper dares to take in such a person, he will be fined and even lose his job!
Therefore, she carefully interrogated Heifu, so detailed that there were several people in his family, and they had to confirm what they were doing, and asked him the names of several old people in the sunset in Yunmengxiang, are you okay? to determine the authenticity of his identity.
Heifu had already prepared, answered them one by one, and there was no problem in checking the passes, so he let him go and said, "It turned out that he was a soldier who went to serve in the county, come in with me."
"Yui."
Heifu promised, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, I didn't repeat the mistakes of Shang Ying."
Heifu had heard this story before he crossed over, and after the death of Qin Xiaogong, the nobles who had been touched by the new law united and branded Shang Ying as a traitor, and he was wanted by the whole country. Shang Ying fled to a hotel to stay overnight, but was turned away by the owner because he could not provide a test pass.
It is a great irony that Shang Ying was driven to a dead end by the system he created. But that's okay, it's unlikely that there will be fugitives and villains living in the guest house, everyone is a good citizen of the Qin State, and they can sleep with peace of mind.
The inn is not big, it is a courtyard with two entrances, and when he passed the courtyard, Heifu saw a carriage parked here, probably belonging to a certain resident official.
Later, he followed the housekeeper to a large house built against the east wall, but before entering the door, the housekeeper suddenly turned around and said, "Do you know that it is a felony to fight in the guest house?"
Heifu hurriedly said: "You know, I will never make trouble."
The state of Qin encouraged public warfare and strict private fighting, and those who fought with others would have their hair and beard shaved off and become prisoners.
"It's good to understand." The housekeeper still asked Heifu to hand over the weapons he carried, and then he opened the door of the big house with a stinky face, and a warmth suddenly came to his face......
There were already four or five people in the house, who were roasting around the stove, and when they saw that the old man had brought another guest, they each squeezed in, and one of the thin monkey-like young men greeted him warmly: "Little brother, come and sit here."
"Wait a minute, I'll prepare the hot soup."
Lao She people are old, everything is slow, the guest house only provides food for the officials, as for the ordinary people, just gnaw the dry food in their arms, can give them a bowl of hot soup for free, it is already benevolent and righteous.
Heifu found a comfortable position and sat cross-legged, roasting his clothes while looking at several people under the same roof. They were dressed like the black man, all dressed in brown and wet. It is not easy for people who still go out to work in this kind of weather, but after a while, a few people chatted about the day, from today's weather to the harvest after autumn......
Hefu listened carefully, and from time to time he should make a few conversations, he didn't talk much, but he liked to listen to other people's conversations, which could make him feel the people and things of this era more realistically, and at the same time absorb useful information.
As they chatted, the topic slowly shifted, shifting from daily life to the recent "world events".
"Have you heard the rumors?"
The thin black young man who beckoned Heifu to sit beside him, named "Ji Ying", suddenly lowered his voice and said to Heifu and the others:
"I heard from someone from Guanzhong that last month, there was an assassin from Yan Kingdom who dared to assassinate the king in the Xianyang Palace!"
