Liu Kan never expected that the arrival of the Xianyang envoy this time would make him a little unbearable.

Meng Yi!

The envoy sent by the First Emperor turned out to be his most favored confidant, the famous Shangqing Meng Yi above the old Qin Dynasty.

I have heard of Meng Yi's name more than once, and in Liu Kan's imagination, Meng Yi should be the same as Meng Tian, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the style of a general. However, when Meng Yi reported his name, Liu Kan peeked again, but found that this Meng Yi and his brother Meng Tian were completely different temperaments.

Meng Tian is resolute and resolute, and there is a killing spirit in his gestures, showing a unique temperament of a soldier.

And Meng Yi is slightly weaker than Meng Tian, thin and thin, polite, and always has a smile on his face. Standing there, Meng Yi was more like a Confucian student. But his eyes are very sharp, like two knives, and he can penetrate the heart.

Liu Kansu stood in the courtroom with his hands in his hands, and couldn't help but be cautious.

Meng Yi sat in the center of the main seat, and Wang Ke sat in his left hand position, expressionless, his hands in his sleeves, without saying a word.

"Duwei Liu, this is the first time we've met!"

Meng Yi's voice was slightly feminine. He poured himself a cup of wine, and after tasting it, he smiled and said, "But I've heard your name for a long time, and it's like thunder...... Hehe, when I saw it today, it was really a young hero, amazing, amazing! ”

Liu Kan said cautiously: "Shangqing has a good reputation, Liu Kan is ashamed!" ”

"Are you ashamed?" Meng Yi smiled. More splendid. Sound though. It's also more feminine. "What else does Captain Liu dare not do? Dare in front of Your Majesty. Called the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. If you are not stupid, you are foolish...... What a big breath! It's not the whole world. Only you, Liu Duwei, are loyal to Your Majesty? DID YOU KNOW. You're not stupid. Did you cause a lot of trouble in Xianyang? ”

Are you coming to trouble me?

Liu Kan couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart. Keep your head down. Peeked in.

He couldn't see Meng Yi's expression. But it is here. Wang Ke's stiff face. Inadvertently, it seemed to twitch slightly.

Seems to be laughing!

Liu Kan in his heart. It was more or less settled. He said softly: "Liu Kan doesn't know! ”

"The general said you were arrogant!"

Meng Yi snorted coldly, "Imperial Doctor Shi of the Chaozhong Dynasty is even more dissatisfied with you. There are countless pieces of impeachment against you.

Liu Duwei, you use four words to make most of the officials in Lao Qin hate you to the core.

Hey, from now on, your every move. will be seen by many people. Think for yourself where to go from here. ”

Meng Yi's words were very harsh, but they sounded to Liu Kan. But it seemed to remind him.

You have been smooth sailing over the years, and your promotion has been too fast, which has made many people blush. But since you don't have anything to do with them, I don't want to embarrass you. But this time, you really offended them, and you will definitely be remembered by them, so be careful......

"This official came to Pingyang this time to solve the chaos in the three counties."

Without waiting for Liu Kan to speak, Meng Yi suddenly changed his words. said to Wang Kewen: "Wang Junshou, Jibei Linzi and Linzi counties are now on their way to Pingyang. I guess it will be these days...... You are the local magistrate, and you should be in charge of this. ”

"Xia Guan understands!"

Wang Ke hurriedly got up and respectfully accepted the order.

Meng Yi continued: "Tian Fu has fled without a trace, and there is no news yet. However, his foundation has been lost, and he must not be able to toss too much storm. The officer has given the order. The soldiers and horses of the three counties of Surabaya, Langya, and Donghai were ordered to return to their own counties. From now on, the Xue County place will be taken over by you. Your Majesty's intentions, the matter still needs to be investigated, but there is no need to make a big move...... Wang Junshou, do you understand what Your Majesty means? ”

Wang Ke intervened and said, "The lower officials naturally know. ”

Only then did Meng Yi turn his head and look at Liu Kan, "Captain Liu." You're doing a great job this time! ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Now. The rebellion in the three counties has subsided, and the imperial court should remove you from the position of court lieutenant...... Within three days. Turnaround warehouse. The affairs of the three counties do not need you to meddle anymore. Be your lieutenant in Surabaya, that's your duty. Don't make any more extraneous branches! ”

Just drove me back?

Why is it a bit of a feeling of unloading the mill and killing a donkey......

But if you think about it carefully, Liu Kan, the governor of Surabaya, has only stayed in Loucang for a few months since he took office. At that time, most of the time, rushing outside. If the imperial court really wants to take care of it, Liu Kan's behavior is enough to be regarded as dereliction of duty.

According to the Great Qin Law, this is at least a crime of circulation.

Liu Kan is not very nostalgic for Xue Jun, but in his heart, there is one more thing he misses.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Kan said softly: "Then dare to ask Shangqing, the people of the three counties ......"

Meng Yi's face sank, "This official has already said that there is no need for you to interfere in the affairs of the three counties, don't you understand?" Anyway, Your Majesty has an edict here, which was originally intended for the official to give you privately. Now, since you want to know the result, just give it to you. ”

As he spoke, Meng Yi waved his hand, and a person walked in with a black wooden box in his hand and gently placed it in front of Liu Kan.

"Open it yourself!"

Liu Kan couldn't help but be a little nervous, opened the wooden box, and saw a roll of black silk inside.

Unfolded, Cheng Gong's paper was framed on the black silk, and there was only one line of text on it: Zhu Ziyan dared to speak presumptuously about the government.

Liu Kan's face changed, he respectfully rolled up the black silk, then put it into the black wooden box, held it up with both hands, and said loudly: "Minister Liu Kan, lead the order!" ”

"Alright, let's go down!"

Meng Yi said in a deep voice: "Within three days, you must set off to return to the building warehouse without delay." ”

"Liu Kan understands!"

Although the edict given to him by the First Emperor did not explain anything. But Liu Kan more or less understood what the First Emperor meant.

It seems that the First Emperor had accepted Liu Kandi's suggestion.

This edict is just a warning to Liu Kan not to do anything again.

The official position of Surabaya's lieutenant is a military attaché, and it belongs to the kind of official position that is not in the imperial court sequence. Through this edict, the First Emperor told Liu Kan: Do your own thing well, don't make any more extraneous branches. The internal affairs of the imperial court are not allowed for you to intervene.

It's good. Anyway, the matter is over, and Liu Kan now wants to go back to Loucang as soon as possible, and doesn't want to continue to stay in Pingyang.

Meng Yi did not have any further communication with Liu Kan.

Liu Kan stayed in Pingyang for a day, and early the next morning, he led his headquarters. Let's go.

Wu Chen did not go to Loucang with Liu Kan, because Xianyang had an edict ordering Wu Chen to be the county prince of Yanci, and he would go out from now on and go to take office.

Before leaving, Wu Chen told Liu Kan that the reason why the imperial court sent him to Yanci (present-day Lingxian County, Shandong) had ulterior motives.

Tired of times, it is known as Jiuda Tianqu. Geography is very important. It is reported that the remnants of Tian Fu and the Thorn Pu Army are very likely to have fled here. Wu Chen's mission. It is to eliminate the anti-Qin forces in the land of disgust, and ensure that the chaos in the land of Qilu will not spread to the land of Yan and Zhao.

Liu Kan and Wu Chen separated, and faintly felt in their hearts that the First Emperor was probably going to take action!

However, this has nothing to do with him.

What he wants to do now is to turn back to the warehouse as soon as possible. After more than a year, Liu Kan couldn't help but feel like an arrow.

Accompanying Liu Kan to Loucang were Jia Shao, Xue Ou and others. This Xue Ou. is a native of Xue County, if you talk about it, it is still a descendant of Xue Guodi in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, the Xue Kingdom has long since perished, and Xue Ou is now unconcerned, and he also wants to follow Liu Kan and establish a meritorious career.

You know, he once took refuge in Tiandu. If it weren't for Liu Kan to cover it up, I'm afraid that I would have lost my life long ago. Moreover, apart from Liu Kan, Xue Ou couldn't remember who else could take him in.

When I left Binh Duong, it was already mid-autumn in August.

According to the Qin calendar, one more month will be a new year.

Because the Qin calendar starts from October 1st, even if it enters the new year, calligraphy according to people's habits. Or willing to put the New Year. It starts as a New Year's place. Anyway, this kind of calendar calculation is for Liu Kan. It doesn't mean much. He only needs to live according to the habits of ordinary people now. If there is a big event, such as a sacrifice and sacrifice, there will naturally be a reminder from his staff.

It's a little cold!

Liu Kan led the men and horses, all the way non-stop, and after a few days, arrived at Zhaoyang Daze.

After Zhaoyang Daze, it was under the rule of Surabaya County. Liu Kan ordered people to rest in Huling for a day, and he took Kuaiche and came to the edge of Zhaoyang Daze under the escort of more than a dozen Loufu cavalry soldiers.

This was the place where he fought for the first time since he came to this era.

It was here that he began to assimilate into the era...... Many years have passed, and when Liu Kan came to Zhaoyang Daze again, both his identity and mood were different from the beginning. If at that time, he still had a trace of fear for this era, then now, he is no longer afraid. Instead, there is a kind of confusion, a kind of confusion about the future, which cannot be grasped.

Unconsciously, he went through a lot of things.

From the winemaker, to the Great War in Northern Xinjiang; From a convict to an official today.

It's hard to describe the taste in one or two sentences. It's just that as his official position increases, the more confused he becomes about the future......

knew Lao Qin's end, but he had to follow in Lao Qin's footsteps.

He couldn't even say whether everything he did had changed the original history. from confusion to confusion; From confusion, there was a trace of worry. Where is your own path? Can everything I do change Lao Qin's fate?

I don't know, everything is still a mystery......

"Captain!"

Seeing Liu Kan standing on the edge of the swamp, without saying a word, Kui Che couldn't help but be a little worried, and called softly, and then said: "The wind is blowing, look at the weather, there will be heavy rain tonight." Let's go back to Huling, these days are in a hurry, Duwei, you are also very hard, let's rest early. ”

Is it windy?

Liu Kan raised his head, looked at the dark clouds that were dense in the sky, and after taking a long breath, it seemed to dispel the depression in his heart.

The wind and rain are coming, and the rainbow after the rain must not be too far away!

The pouring rain came after midnight.

With the sound of lightning and thunder, it seems to announce to the world that autumn is about to leave and winter is coming. The rain was continuous, and it reached the extreme in Yinshi. It's like a river pouring down. The small town of Fengyi was completely annihilated in a vast ocean. Icy water, knee-high. Many thatched huts, which were not strong, were also turned into ruins in this pouring rain, so it was not sad.

The heavy rain did not abate until dawn.

The icy rain was like a mist. Shrouded in the sky over Toyoeup.

Many people who had lost their homes wept in the cold rain, and Lu Pheasant stood at the gate, looking at the scene in front of him, shaking his head and sighing softly.

Winter is coming, but this heavy rain, I'm afraid many people won't be able to survive this winter.

Fortunately, my house is sturdy and there is not much loss. It's just that the stored grain is soaked by the rain, and I am afraid that it will be lost heavily.

"Is Liu Ji at home? Is Liu Ji at home? ”

There was a sudden knock on the courtyard door. A familiar voice followed.

Lu Pheasant frowned, and Tibu Skirt stepped forward and opened the courtyard door. I saw it outside the door. Xiao He held a bamboo straw in his hand and smiled.

"Mr. Xiao, why are you here?"

Lu Pheasant couldn't help but ask strangely: "Look at this, you should have come from Pei County overnight, such a big rain, what must have happened?" ”

Xiao He smiled slightly, "Pheasant, do you have to let me stand outside the door and talk?" Is Liu Ji at home? ”

Lu Pheasant apologized and moved out of the way, and said softly: "On the ground!" However, he drank with Zhou Bo and a few others last night. I haven't gotten up yet. ”

A series of green linen long skirts made Lu Pheasant feel a little elegant.

It's just a bulging abdomen, which more or less affects her body shape, and she looks slightly bloated.

Sitting down in the room, Xiao He asked, "Ah Pheasant, how many months have you been?" ”

Lu Pheasant's face was a little pale, and when he heard Xiao He ask, he suddenly blushed, and said softly: "It's been almost four months." ”

That's when it happened. A little girl walked out of the side room, rubbed her eyes and said, "Mother, I'm hungry, do I have anything to eat?" ”

This little girl is about seven or eight years old, and her stature is much taller than that of girls of the same age. The melon seed face, fair cheeks, is very delicate.

Xiao He couldn't help but smile, "Yuan is already so high!" ”

"There's still a lot of food." Lu Pheasant saw the little girl. A smile appeared on his face. "No, yelling for something early in the morning.

Yuan. Go to the stove and make a fire, and my mother will cook for you.

Mr. Xiao, please wait here, I'll go and tell Liu Ji to get up. ”

After speaking, Lu Pheasant walked to the inner room.

Liu Yuan rubbed his eyes and jumped to the kitchen. Looking at Liu Yuan's back, Xiao He frowned and shook his head gently.

After a while, Liu Ji walked out with sleepy eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, is there something important about coming here so early in the morning?"

Liu Ji has passed forty years, although he is still the same as before, informal, but he is much more stable. Over the years, he has served as the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, and he can be regarded as doing his best. I saw him sit down, spread his legs, and shouted to Lu Pheasant, who was about to cook, "Ah Pheasant, blanch two pots of wine." ”

"I'm going to drink early in the morning, alas......"

Lu Pheasant sighed, but didn't say anything.

Xiao He scratched his head and said softly: "Liu Ji, I came from Pei County overnight and have something to tell you." The day before yesterday, a group of prisoners were sent from Donghai County and were about to be escorted to Lishan. However, the county is really unable to spare manpower now, so the county order asked me to inform you that you will escort these prisoners to Lishan. You have to leave early tomorrow morning, so get ready and go back with me. ”

When Liu Ji heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately became furious, "Mr. Xiao, I just came back from Northern Xinjiang for less than two days, and I didn't even sit down, why do I have to go out again?" ”

Xiao He smiled bitterly: "Isn't this something that can't be helped...... Originally, this year, your local conscription has been completed, but I didn't expect Donghai County to suddenly send such a group of prisoners. You also know that a few days ago, there was a rebellion in Xue County, and Donghai County sent troops to suppress it. Donghai County has a small number of people, and the chaos in Xue County is even more insufficient. Therefore, Sima Junshou discussed with Zhuang Junshou, and we were responsible for escorting.

Tu Zi and Ah Ying were ordered by the county guard to send troops to Xue County, but they have not yet returned.

The county government can't send people at all now...... No, even me. After I go back today, I will go to Xiangxian immediately to listen to the errand. ”

Liu Ji frowned and bowed his head silently.

Xiao He patted him on the shoulder, "Liu Ji, isn't this just in time?" There's no way around it! After the affairs of Xue County have calmed down, the coming year will not be too busy. When the time comes. I'll try to transfer it for you, so that you don't have one less conscription, what do you think?

This time, you can be wronged.

Anyway, it's just an escort of prisoners, and when you get to Lishan, you can return immediately.

If all goes well, maybe we'll be back in the spring......"

Liu Ji also knew that if something like this happened, he could only blame himself for being unlucky. It's no wonder that Xiao He. Who made Xue Jun make such a big mess? However, I heard that the Liu family was promoted again, as if this time the rebellion in Xue County was pacified. It's still that guy who comes forward to preside.

People are just different.

That guy went on a trip, and I don't know what kind of benefit he will get.

But what about yourself?

Maybe it's born to be this tiring life!

What about the son of the dragon...... Who has ever seen such an unlucky and tired son of the earth dragon as himself? Thinking of this, Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh with self-pity.

"Mr. Xiao, then you wait a minute, I'll ask Ah Pheasant to make me some dry food."

At this time, Lu Pheasant scalded two pots of wine and brought them in on a tray. Liu Ji told Lu Pheasant about the matter, and after Lu Pheasant listened. just nodded, and without saying a word, he went back to the kitchen and prepared dry food for Liu Ji. After Lu Pheasant left, Liu Ji poured Xiao He a glass of wine, and was just about to drink it, but Xiao He grabbed his arm.

"Liu Ji, I want to ask you something."

"Mr. Xiao, please speak."

"Where is your Liu Fei now?"

When Liu Ji heard this, his face changed suddenly. Qiang laughed and said: "Mr. Xiao, you also know that I have been busy with official business in the past two years and rarely go home to take care of it. Ah Fei is also older now, and I don't have time to care about him. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I really don't know where he is. ”

Xiao He didn't speak, looked at Liu Ji, and after a while, lowered his voice and said, "Liu Ji." Anyway, we're folks. There are some things I have to warn you about. Ah Fei's age is not young, and he is idle all day long. It's not a problem after all.

I heard that he often associates with some indiscreet people, and he still owes a ** debt in Pei County. Nowadays, the world seems to be peaceful, but it is not peaceful. Debt is a trivial matter, but don't go the wrong way because of a small matter, but it will be dangerous. ”

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xiao, but what did you hear?" ”

Xiao He said: "I only heard that he often goes to Qi County this year...... You also know that Qi County is in Xue County, and Xue County is currently ...... If you are implicated and want to get out at that time, it is not so simple. Liu Ji, you'd better let someone go to Qi County and get Ah Fei back.

Nowadays, it is an eventful time, so it is better to be careful and not to cause any trouble. ”

Liu Ji nodded, stopped drinking, and stood up, "I'll go to Wang Su, let him go to Qi County, and arrest that guy back." ”

The reason why he is so nervous is naturally not without reason.

Although Liu Ji is only a pavilion chief, he has a wide range of friends, and he knows more or less about Liu Fei's current situation. In the past two years, Liu Fei has met some lawbreakers, and his success is very complicated. There is such a big thing in Xue County, there must be a cleansing. If it gets a fishy smell, it will be difficult to wash it off. If you don't make a good one, even yourself will be implicated by that kid.

It's been an eventful year... As soon as Liu Ji left with his front foot, Lu Pheasant walked into the room.

"Mr. Xiao, Liu Ji will go to Lishan this time, there won't be any trouble."

Xiao He asked in surprise: "Ah Pheasant, this is not the first time Liu Ji has made a mistake, what can happen?" Don't be cranky. ”

Lu Pheasant shook his head, "Didn't you say it just now, the current world is not as peaceful as it seems. I also know it's not the first time he's been out of tolerance. But I don't know why, in my heart...... It's messy. It always felt as if something was going to happen. ”

Xiao He smiled: "Ah Pheasant, you think too much.

Although this world is not peaceful, it is not too bad. The rebellion of Xue County has been ...... by Liu The lieutenant has calmed down, and there should be no more trouble. ”

Since Liu Kan went to Loucang, whether it was Xiao He or Lu Pheasant, they deliberately avoided mentioning Liu Kandi's name.

Lu Pheasant shook his head, "Maybe I'm thinking nonsense...... But after I heard that Liu Ji was going out just now, I was a little uneasy.

Mr. Xiao, if something happens to me, I want to ask you for help.

Send Ah Yuan to Loucang, my parents and Ah Du are there, and they can also take care of her...... You know, the situation at Liu Ji's house. ”

Of course, Xiao He knew that Liu Ji's father, Liu Tuan and Mrs. Liu, didn't like Liu Ji.

Even with Liu Jidi's brother and sister-in-law, he is also very harsh on Liu Ji's family. However, he felt that Lu Pheasant was a little suspicious.

It's just an escort to a prisoner, what kind of mess can it bring?

This Lu Pheasant is smart and capable, and she is an assertive woman. It's just that when you have land, you can't help but think about it a little too much.

Thinking of this, Xiao He took a sip of wine and agreed to Lu Pheasant's request with a smile.
