Chapter 105: False Accusations Against Liu Ji (Second Update)
Qin Gang kept reassuring Zhou Lanqi that he would not reveal the secrets of the Zhou family to outsiders, but when he turned around, he came to Cangyuan City, and told all the secrets of the Zhou family to Shi Zhao Cehe, the magistrate of Geshan County, and directly took refuge under Zhao Ce.

After Zhao Ce knew that the assassination of Taishou Zhao Mincheng was the real murderer, he immediately started a series of actions, according to what Qin Gang knew, he seized the Zhou family's various properties in Geshan County, arrested the people of the Zhou family, and some of the Zhou family's properties were even seized by Qin Gang, and even Qin Gang's father, Qin Hong, was personally captured by Qin Gang, but Zhao Ce did not embarrass Qin Hong and released Qin Hong directly.
In addition, Zhao Ce also made a complaint to the imperial court, suing Liu Ji, the lieutenant of Qi County, Changping County, Yongzhou, saying that Liu Ji conspired with the rebellious Zhou family of Geshan County and assassinated Zhao Mincheng, the Taishou of Geshan County, and the real culprits who killed Zhao Mincheng were Liu Ji and the two sisters Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin, the remnants of the Zhou family.
As for Liu Ji's credit for defeating tens of thousands of rogues outside Cangyuan City, he had already been put on his own by Zhao Ce, and on the previous excerpt, Zhao Ce had already invited credit to the imperial court for himself!
On January 10, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji's border army had already walked to the territory of Ningde County, Anhui Prefecture, and was about to leave Ningde County and enter Qianzhou, when the Zhou family's intelligence network in Anhui came to make people angry, and Liu Ji and others finally learned that Qin Gang had betrayed the Zhou family.
In Liu Ji's cloth tent, the atmosphere was very depressing, Zhou Lanqi's eyes were red and she said to Liu Ji in a lamented voice: "Son, they all complain about the concubine, if it wasn't for the concubine body to let Qin Gang leave easily, there would not be so many things, now not only Mingyue Building and a large number of properties have been seized, many people from the Zhou family have been killed and arrested, but also affected the son, according to the news obtained, Zhao Mincheng, the son of the dog thief, Zhao Ce, falsely accused the court of conspiring with our Zhou family and assassinated Zhao Mincheng, the Taishou!" Childe, what do we do now? ”
Zhou Lanxin next to her gritted her teeth and said: "I didn't expect Qin Gang to be so ungrateful and directly sell our Zhou family, now that Aunt Zheng has been killed, Master Qin has also been captured alive, and our Zhou family's power in Geshan County is equivalent to being completely destroyed!" Childe, why don't we go back to Cangyuan City and smash that Zhao Ce and Qin Gang into pieces! ”
Liu Ji now feels that his head is bigger, he didn't expect that Qin Gang to do such a desperate thing, he directly took refuge in Zhao Ce, and even his own father did not let go, and that Zhao Ce was even more ruthless, not only uprooting the hidden forces of the Zhou family in the entire Geshan County, but also directly falsely accusing the imperial court of assassinating Taishou Zhao Mincheng.
I knew that I should have slaughtered that Qin Gang in the first place, so there would be no need to have such a big trouble!
Liu Ji turned his head to Su Lie and Le Yi and asked in a deep voice: "Su Lie, Le Yi, now that Zhao Ce falsely accused the imperial court of assassinating the Taishou Zhao Mincheng, what should we do next?" ”
Su Lie pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, now that the number of soldiers under our command has reached 6,300, even if the imperial court listens to that Zhao Ce's words, I believe that there is no way to take us for a while, but when there is a day, our situation will not be good, and it is best to find a way to put down Zhao Ce's false accusation against us." ”
The more than 300 elite warriors of the Zhou family, coupled with the men recruited all the way after the Spring Festival, made the number of soldiers under Liu Ji's command reach 6,300 in just 10 days.
Le Yi sighed and said: "We have nothing to do with the court, if we want to settle this false accusation, there is no way at all, we can only come to cover the water and earth, if the court really wants to investigate, then we can only find a place to hide first and wait and see what happens." ”
Su Lie and Le Yi don't have any good solutions for the current situation, after all, Zhao Ce's status is far from Liu Ji's status, if the imperial court believes that Liu Ji assassinated Taishou Zhao Mincheng, Liu Ji doesn't even have a chance to defend himself, and the imperial court of the Great Jin Dynasty will not care whether a small border captain has been wronged.
The only good news is that now the Great Jin Dynasty is not as good as day by day, even if Liu Ji's crime of assassinating Zhao Mincheng is implemented, in a short period of time, the Great Jin Dynasty should have nothing to do with Liu Ji, but Liu Ji will only have a way to live in the future.
Then Liu Ji pondered for a long time and said to Zhou Lanqi: "Qin Gang can't blame Lanqi for you, no one thought that Qin Gang was such an ungrateful villain, now that Zheng Sanniang of Mingyue Tower has been killed, your sisters will elect a replacement as soon as possible, after all, in other counties and counties in Anhui Prefecture, the Zhou family's industry and intelligence network are still alive, we have to find a person in charge, and we also need to have a source of intelligence now!" ”
Then Liu Ji said to Su Lie, Le Yi, Hua Xiong and several other generals in the tent: "The news that Zhao Ce falsely accused me, don't spread it in the army, we will continue to set off for Qianzhou early tomorrow morning!" If the imperial court really wants to deal with me Liu Ji for this matter, we will find a place to hide in Qianzhou, and early tomorrow morning, we will send someone to ride a fast horse back to Qi County, and find a way to take my father, sister and Uncle Tie out, so as not to affect them because of this matter! ”
Le Yi opened his mouth and said, "Lord, then let Le Yi take someone away!" I must take the old man and the young lady out of Qi County and rush to Qianzhou to meet the lord! ”
"Okay, let Le Yi take someone around! Ugh—"
You must know that it is not too easy to take Liu Hao, Liu Niuniu and Liu Tie out of Qi County, and the people of the Chen family will definitely not let Liu Hao's family leave Qi County easily, otherwise the Chen family will have no bargaining chips to restrain Liu Ji, if Liu Ji does not take the soldiers to Qianzhou to defend the border, then the Chen family will be in big trouble.
Even if it is the Wang Ji county commander of Qi County, there must be some arrangements, and Liu Ji's family will never be allowed to leave Qi County easily, otherwise his Wang Ji's trouble will not be small.
What makes Liu Ji even more troublesome is that his father Liu Hao's injury has to recuperate for at least a long time, and taking it out of Qi County at this time will make his father's injury worse.
Liu Ji really wanted to slap himself, he was soft-hearted for a while, and he took care of the face of the Zhou sisters for a while, so he would make such a big trouble, Liu Ji really regretted that he didn't let Hua Xiong cut off Qin Gang's head with a knife.
Early the next morning, Liu Ji's border army had not yet set off, and the people selected by Le Yi to return to Qi County had not set off, so another news came through the Zhou family's intelligence network.
When Sun Youhao, the state pastor of Wanzhou, directly reported to the Great Jin Dynasty, Shi Zhaoce, the magistrate of Geshan County, framed Zhongliang, and Liu Ji, the captain of Qi County, Changping County, Yongzhou, led the border army to pass through Cangyuan City, and defeated tens of thousands of rogue soldiers besieging Cangyuan City, and beheaded countless people.
However, in order to covet the merits of defeating tens of thousands of rogues, Shi Zhao Ce, the magistrate of Geshan, framed the crime of assassinating Taishou Zhao Mincheng for no reason on the body of the captain Liu Ji, and Sun Zhoumu asked the imperial court to severely punish Shi Zhaoce, the magistrate of Geshan!
What's going on? You must know that Liu Ji and that Sun Zhou Mu don't know each other at all, how could that Sun Zhou Mu speak for Liu Ji?
Zhou Lanqi immediately analyzed to Liu Ji that Sun Zhoumu had some very big contradictions with the Geshan Zhao family, and this time he spoke for Liu Ji, probably because he wanted to use Liu Ji's matter to bring down Zhao Ce, so that Zhao Ce had no way to inherit the position of Geshan County Taishou.
Then Zhou Lanqi said to Liu Ji in surprise that the Sun family in Wanzhou, where Sun Zhoumu is located, is very powerful in the imperial court, and this time Sun Zhoumu intervenes in this matter, Liu Ji will not only have no more trouble, but maybe he can also get a blessing in disguise.
After getting the news of this accident, Liu Ji hesitated, and did not let Le Yi rush back to Qi County with someone, after all, it is not so easy to take the family out of Qi County, and the most important thing is that his father Liu Hao's injury may not be healed now, and it is a long way from Qi County to Qianzhou, if there is any accident, Liu Ji will regret it.
Although Liu Ji does not have any intelligence sources in the imperial court now, but the Zhou family's current intelligence network in Anhui is still very effective, once the imperial court does not listen to the words of Xinzhou Mu Sun Youhao, but instead investigates Liu Ji's responsibility for killing Zhao Mincheng, then Liu Ji should also have time to send people back to Qi County to rescue his father, sister, and Uncle Tie.
Immediately, Liu Ji led the border army to continue north, and at the same time asked the Zhou family's intelligence network in Wanzhou to pay close attention to the imperial court's attitude towards Zhao Mincheng's killing.
