Only then did Li Canghai understand what was going on with the official system of the Tang Dynasty.

The grades of officials in the Tang Dynasty were divided into nine grades and thirty grades according to the upright, subordinate, upper and lower grades.

The complexity of its classification made Li Canghai feel that his head was big, and after listening to it for a long time, he figured out the relationship, in short, it was graded according to the richness of each state and county.

The wealthier ones are called the top, and the second is the bottom.

Li Canghai always thought that he was the seven-rank county order he heard in his previous life, but after listening to Huang Fukun's introduction, he realized that he was just an eight-rank county, and Zhengyang County under his jurisdiction was still a poor county.

Luoyang, as the accompanying capital, generally has people from the royal family, and at the same time set up the government Yin as the highest governor, the official rank belongs to the four grades, and at the same time governs the districts and counties near Luoyang.

During the reign of Taizong, according to the situation of mountains and rivers, the country was divided into ten provinces. In the 21st year of Kaiyuan, Gyeonggi Province and Togi Province were added, and the scope of each province was gradually customized.

Dugi Province includes the prefectures near Luoyang, Henan Province, and its highest official is the Shangzhou Assassin Shi, and the official is from the three grades, and he is an out-and-out feudal official. In the final analysis, even one acre and three points of land in Zhengyang County must be managed by Dugi Province.

Li Canghai touched his chin and pondered, and after a while, he suddenly said, "General, I don't know if you can invite Lord Shi to come to Luoyang City?" ”

"Naturally, although General Ben has no right to interfere in government affairs, he is after all General Jin Wuwei who defended Luoyang." Huang Fukun looked at him suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "What are you looking for?" ”

"When the time comes, the general naturally knows that since the general can ask Lord Shi to assassinate, then this matter will bother the general." Li Canghai clasped his fists with both hands, arched his hand to him, and said solemnly.

Huang Fukun saw that he didn't want to say more, and he didn't ask anymore, he knew that Li Canghai had always planned and then acted, and since he handed over this matter to him, he had to fully trust him.

"I immediately repaired a book, and sent it to the Ruzhou Thorn Mansion overnight with my personal guard."

After speaking, Huang Fukun led people to leave this place in a hurry.

Let Chang Feng and other officials return to Zhengyang County first, and after dealing with all the things, Li Canghai took advantage of the night to hurry back to Luoyang.

When I returned to Luoyang, it was dark and it was close to early morning.

Luoyang seems to have suffered from small-scale fighting, and some houses in the southeast of the city were badly damaged, and some houses were still smoking from them, and there was a mess everywhere.

Xue Xuan and a group of soldiers and servants were busy putting out fires, pacifying refugees, and registering the suffering.

"Miss Xue, how is the situation? Are there any casualties? Li Canghai only glanced at it, and knew that it must have been done by 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu', and when he saw many suffering people lying on the side of the road, anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Xue Xuan helped an old woman bandage her arm, stood up, frowned, and said: "This is a slum, most of the houses are built of wood and grass, and the master has counted it, and the number of casualties has been more than 20 people. ”

"More than twenty?" Li Canghai's face instantly fell, he clenched his fists, and scolded hatefully: "'Reverse Scale Xuanwu', I will settle this account with you sooner or later!" ”

Xue Xuan saw the anger on his face, and comforted: "Li Gongzi doesn't have to blame himself too much, if you hadn't discovered their conspiracy in time, I don't know how many people would have suffered accidents." Oh, by the way, we've put the antidote in the liquor stores, and I've had people put up notices telling those who have bought the liquor to go to the city gate to get the cure. ”

The tense muscles on Li Canghai's face eased a lot, and he looked at Xue Xuan approvingly, as if he didn't expect her to be so careful.

Xue Xuan's pretty face was hot from his staring, and she hurriedly stepped aside and continued to help the injured person bandage the wound.

"Canghai, you're back." As soon as Li Canghai bent down to help pack up his things, Di Qing's voice came from behind him.

Di Qing acted like the wind, a distance of dozens of zhang, and stepped over in the blink of an eye, her face was slightly cold, her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to have encountered something difficult to solve.

"Qing'er, why did you go?" Li Canghai saw the fine sweat on the tip of her nose, stood up and wiped her with his sleeve, and asked.

Di Qing muttered angrily: "I don't know what's going on recently, everyone I meet can escape from my hands, it's just unreasonable." ”

"Huh? What's going on? Li Canghai asked with a slight frown.

"I went to track down the arsonist, that person has average martial arts, and I injured a few ribs, it stands to reason that he could not escape from my pursuit, but when I chased him to Xicheng, the man suddenly disappeared, as if he disappeared out of thin air." Di Qing pursed her lips, she boasted of her superb martial arts, but she was escaped one after another, which made her arrogant heart a little unbearable.

"Where did you chase to Xicheng, so that the other party is nowhere to be seen?" Li Canghai asked after a moment of contemplation.

"Near the mansion." Di Qing wrinkled her nose.

When Li Canghai heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Qing'er, you go and check one thing for me." Li Canghai said, leaning into Di Qing's ear and muttering.

After Di Qing heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but she didn't hesitate and immediately turned around and left.

Xue Xuan saw that the two of them were intimate, and a sense of loss suddenly rose in her heart, and she looked at Li Canghai's angular and resolute face, and was suddenly stunned.

"Miss Xue? Miss Xue? ”

Li Canghai saw that she was a little distracted, and screamed twice.

"Huh?" Xue Xuan sighed, only then did she realize that she was a little out of shape, and hurriedly blushed and said, "Gongzi Li, what's wrong?" ”

"Are you alright?" Li Canghai asked with a hint of concern in his tone.

"It's okay, I was thinking just now that 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' wants to plunge Luoyang into chaos, why don't you see Hongyan coming? Without the wild goose, there would be no 'Melting Fire Gu Worm', so even if the wine was transported to Luoyang, it didn't seem to be of much use. Xue Xuan calmed down her shyness and said casually.

Li Canghai touched his nose and muttered: "This is indeed a mystery, but I think there will always be a time when the truth will come out." After a pause, he looked at Xue Xuan, and suddenly asked, "Miss Xue, I heard that the Gopher Gate is good at the art of disguise, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Xue Xuan nodded: "This is indeed the case, how could Li Gongzi suddenly ask about this?" ”

"As far as the current situation is concerned, is there a gopher gate person in Luoyang City who is good at this technique?" Li Canghai pondered for a moment and asked.

"When it comes to the art of disguise, there is only one person in the world who can stand out from the crowd, and that is He Xiao." Xue Xuan smiled slightly.

"He Xiao?" Li Canghai was a little surprised.

"He Xiao's martial arts skills are not high, but he is proficient in all kinds of hidden weapons, and he is the best at disguise, otherwise how can he become the helmsman of the Gopher Gate Luoyang?"

Li Canghai recalled the Kang Xu he pretended to be at that time, and suddenly it suddenly dawned that He Xiao could be so similar to someone who had only met once, it seemed that he did have some means.
