The Ludong Post House was the busiest post house on the official road, but all that was left of the post house was a ruin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to later people, there were no less than five hundred Qin soldiers who came there, and countless corpses that had long been burned and could not be identified were piled together, and it was impossible to tell who it was, but these were not the most difficult things for the officials of Dongjun, and the most tricky thing was that the newly appointed county warden Yang Qingzhi also died in the fire.

Li Dong covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and rummaged through the corpses on the ground, countless bones and ashes stained his palms.

"Li Tou, how is it, I'm still waiting for you to reply?"

One of them gently put his hand on Li Dong's shoulder.

Li Dong stood up, slapped his hand away, and threw the arm he was holding in his other hand again, who he didn't know, into the pile of unrecognizable corpses.

He was about thirty years old, with a beard on his face, but his eyes were visibly circled, tired, and he hadn't closed them since he was called out of bed.

He spat fiercely, looked at the person who was talking to him behind him, and said heavily, "Reply, how can I judge that everyone has been burned like this." ”

The man laughed with him, "You are the best servant in our Eastern County, who else can tell apart from you, otherwise, the life of the county keeper will be difficult." ”

Of course, Li Dong can't fail to see anything, he just wants to leave here early, these people are too ruthless, they can do anything.

He came to the side of the Qin general who was dressed in armor, "Vice General Cao." ”

"Say what, no result."

Li Dong saluted, "Judging from the current situation, these soldiers were all killed by random arrows, and the cavalry commander was pierced through the chest by a sharp sword and died, and the county guard was undoubtedly burned alive." ”

"Is there anything else going on?"

Li Dong glanced around and stretched out his hand, "General, please speak here." ”

The lieutenant surnamed Cao stared at him and looked for a remote place, "Say it!" ”

"There is nothing suspicious about the way to die, it's just that those Qin soldiers were obviously killed by bows and arrows at close range, and the arrows completely penetrated the light armor in front of the cavalry, which is obviously not possible with ordinary bows and arrows."

The adjutant general surnamed Cao obviously knew what he was going to say, and he raised his hand to stop Li Dong from wanting to continue, his face already turning pale.

Li Dong looked at the officer's face, he knew what he was going to say, ordinary bows and arrows obviously could not be compared with the close-range bows and crossbows made by the military, and only these crossbow arrows in the Qin army had such power.

"Can you tell how many of these bolts there are?"

"According to the subordinates, there should be no less than fifty of these crossbow machines."

Fifty bodies can be regarded as major ordnance materials in the army, not to mention crossbow machines, each of which must be audited by the ordnance officer.

The matter became more and more suspicious, and it was obvious that killing the new county guard was not so simple.

Now there are two judgments: the first is that the soldiers in the army did it, and the second is that the people in the rivers and lakes don't know where they got these heavy weapons in the army and killed the county guard.

And either of these two speculations is enough to cause huge fluctuations in the East County, and even a little more serious will even lead to a major earthquake in the East County officialdom and the army.

……

……

Of course, Chu Nan would not care about some people who were dogs, but his management method was not for him to go, but to find Meng Tian, and he looked at Meng Tian's eyes at this time.

Meng Tian pondered what he had said earlier and asked, "You want me to send them to the north, you are sure, you must know that the north is very difficult, the Xiongnu are constantly harassing the border, and every once in a while they have to send a sufficient number of troops. ”

"I'm sure." Chu Nan nodded.

"But ......"

"How did you regret it?" Meng Tian turned around and said.

"It's not that I regret it, it's just that they're still young after all, so I won't send them to dangerous places!"

"This won't be, after all, they are not trained, if they are sent up, wouldn't it make those nonsense people laugh at me and think that there is no one in my Qin country."

At this time, it was really morning meeting time, and the conversation between the two ended hastily, and with the many ministers in the court advancing towards the hall, Chu Nan looked suitable in a simple Shaoqing suit, but how did he feel that the clothes on his body were unpleasant, he still liked that simple clothes.

He stood at the back of the whole team in turn, after all, he was only a young man and he was still young, and his qualifications were not as good as Meng Tianzhang and others, so he couldn't even hear what was being said in the back position, he was actually most afraid of these troubles, and he was happy to be quiet in the back.

Suddenly, the sound of anger filled the entire hall, accompanied by the sound of bamboo slips falling.

Chu Nan was awakened in an instant, and countless officials in front of him leaned to the ground.

"Dongjun is Dongjun again, this is the second time, you talk about it for the second time, even my Dongjun county guard was killed by these thieves, what do you say about the whole world, what kind of unification and what ...... to talk about."

Ying Zheng's roar filled the entire hall, and countless officials trembled.

"Your Majesty is angry." Lees got up.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si coldly, but his tone was much lighter, "Oh! What do you have to say? ”

"Your Majesty knows that Dongjun is located in Wei and borders on all sides, it is an extremely important transportation artery, countless people have poured into Dongjun, the forces of all parties in Dongjun can be described as complex, the only way to solve the various forces in Dongjun is to send a lot of troops to Dongjun to suppress it by force, and now the most important thing is to select the most suitable county guard."

"Proper county guard." Ying Zheng pondered, "But there are people who are willing to go to Dongjun. ”

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers below.

However, most of the officials didn't dare to raise their heads, they weren't fools, although the county guard was an excellent errand, but the county guard who went to the east county had died by now, and even if they dared to go, it was still important to go there compared to the official position.

"Why is there no one?"

Ying Zheng said loudly, "Isn't there anyone in my entire Great Qin who went to Dongjun. ”

Zhao Gao, who was dressed in red, stood up at this time, "Your Majesty's servant is a candidate. ”

"Zhao Gao, what do you have to say?"

Zhao Gao bowed, "The reason why these forces in the Eastern County don't take the orders of the county guard in their eyes is because we don't have a strong county guard, and this county guard must have enough strength. ”

"Then in your opinion, who is the most suitable."

"Chu Nan Chu Shaoqing is the most suitable for this position."
