"Yuan Chang, it's not difficult to ask Rui to assist in the arrest, but the Prime Minister has an order to let Rui recuperate in the mansion, this is a matter of arrest." Lu Rui agreed to Zhong Xuan at first, but it was still inappropriate to think about it carefully, Cao Cao had the hidden line of drama Zhicai, if Cao Cao had a bigger plan, it would be inappropriate to insert his own foot.

"Extraordinary, if it weren't for the Prime Minister's consent, how would I have come to the Hou Ye's Mansion? If you want your son-in-law to do something, you must always ask your father-in-law! Zhong Xuan smiled, took a sip of tea, and glanced at Lu Rui playfully.

"Oh?"

"Extraordinary, this is the Prime Minister's edict, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to confirm it." Zhong Xuan took out Cao Cao's edict and handed it to Lu Rui.

Sure enough, it was Cao Cao's edict, and Lu Rui took the text, which was an edict issued by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the order was to let Lu Rui assist Zhong Miao in searching for and arresting the masters hiding in Xudu. At the same time, Cao Cao also hinted that Lu Rui could let Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and other descendants of the Cao family participate.

In the end, Cao Cao also told Lu Rui in his edict that the information of Xi Zhicai would also be sent to Lu Rui's mansion, and when the time came, he would exercise and train the descendants of the Cao family. The master behind Liu Xie must be in Xudu City, but he doesn't know where he is hiding now.

It seems that Cao Cao wants to test himself. Lu Rui saw the edict and contacted Cao Cao's attitude, and Lu Rui guessed a rough idea, Cao Cao had basically locked the master behind Liu Xie, but Cao Cao asked Lu Rui to personally capture the master behind Liu Xie and establish meritorious service for the descendants of the Cao family. This is the first step for Cao Cao to install his cronies, and only after establishing meritorious service can he have an official position, in order to cultivate the sons of the Cao family. Cao Cao really took great pains.

"It turns out that Yuan often has a decree from the Prime Minister. Case. Rui will definitely help Yuan Chang. However, the people in the Xudu Yamen, Rui is inconvenient to use, and Yuan Chang can provide information to Rui for the investigation, and Rui is looking for someone to investigate secretly, I don't know what Yuan Chang thinks? "If you want to make meritorious contributions to the sons of the Cao family, you can't do it too obviously, and Lu Rui will do it on the surface. When the time comes to receive the merits, it is enough to count the sons of the princes.

"In this case, Yuan Chang is very thankful, Yuan Chang has already compiled the information of the investigation into a document, and he will send it to the Hou Ye's Mansion when the time comes." Zhong Miao was relieved when he saw that Lu Rui read the statement and agreed to assist in the investigation.

"It's time for Lao Yuanchang!"

"Extraordinary and polite!"

Zhong Xuan then handed over all the information to Lu Rui, and Lu Rui also called Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi from Cao's mansion.

"Brother Rui!"

"Yes. Zihuan, Ziwen. Zijian, you classify and sort out these expressions, and sort out the information of all people of the same clan, the same township, the same name, and the same three. Lu Rui pointed to the information sent by Zhong Xuan and instructed the three of them to do something.

"Oh my God, Brother Rui, how to classify and sort out so many expressions? How to register the same name in the same township? Cao Zhang was the first to shout, dealing with these literary affairs is Cao Zhang's weakness, he would rather go up the mountain to fight more big tigers.

"You're going to be lazy!" Lu Rui knocked Cao Zhang with a bamboo slip, how could Cao Zhang grow into a capable general if he didn't like to read?

"Brother Rui, how should people with the same three things be classified, if person A and person B are the same township, and person A and person C are of the same clan, how should person A be classified?" Cao Pi et al. only know simple classifications, and complex classifications are not clear.

Oops! Forgetting that they were all ancients, Lu Rui thought of the classification methods of later generations, which were all simple common sense, and they were very efficient skills in ancient times.

"Zihuan, Ziwen, Zijian, Brother Rui will teach you a new classification method today. First of all, all the forms are marked with numbers to distinguish all the information, and secondly, the names of the people who appear in the information are listed, and as long as there is matching information, the numbers are marked under the person's name, so that it can be classified. "Lu Rui taught a simple classification method to the three of them, and let the three of them classify all the information, so that a lot of information will be clear.

"Brother Rui is really a good way, Pi knows." Cao Pi is really a smart person, and as soon as he heard Lu Rui's introduction, he knew that this was a quick and easy method.

"Okay, you three will do so, and in an hour, I'll come back and check." Lu Rui slapped his hand and let Cao Pi and the three of them deal with the information, this is their training, and it is also Lu Rui's laziness.

"Yes, Brother Rui!" The three of them arched their hands and began to sort the information.

Lu Rui nodded, smiled secretly in his heart, and left the study. These three people are all the princes of the Great Wei in the future, and now they are willing to listen to their own lessons, and they are proud when they think about it!

"Have you ever classified the information?" An hour later, Lu Rui returned to the study, and Cao Pi and the three of them had already sorted out the information.

"Brother Rui, we're done." Cao Pi took the lead in answering Lu Rui.

Sure enough, it is Cao Cao's son, all of them are not bad, and this method was mastered so quickly.

"Okay, now that it's sorted out, let's analyze and analyze it together, screen out the suspects one by one, and see if there are any suspicious people." Lu Rui made a look of a brother and began to respect and teach Cao Pi and the three of them.

"Brother Rui, this person is suspicious."

"No, please report the wrong time." Cao Zhi is talented, but not stable enough.

"Brother Rui, this person is suspicious."

"It's just a small role, Ziwen has to take a good look, contact this person's information, and then make a judgment." Cao Zhang was not good at the article, so he hurriedly came to a conclusion.

"Brother Rui, here's a piece of information, this person should be the one involved."

"Yes, this person is the person involved, but the mastermind behind it is not this person, this person will enter the palace many times, and will definitely be discovered by our spies." Cao Pi is scheming and calm, but inexperienced.

"Brother Rui, the information has been searched, why are there no clues?" Cao Zhang threw the last bamboo slip aside, and after analyzing the information, he still didn't find anything, and he was already a little irritable.

"Brother Rui, why don't we reorganize the information, maybe something is missing?" Cao Pi was cautious and asked Lu Rui tentatively.

"No need Zihuan, although there are a lot of suspicious people in this information. But it's just some gunslinger. The mastermind is not among them. "Lu Rui has followed Cao Cao for many years. I have learned to observe and analyze subtly, these people are at most some scapegoats, and if they don't say it well, they are the ones who coax, and they are not the masters who assist Liu Xie at all.

"Brother Rui, you said that there is no this, there is no that, is the person my father wants to arrest is already in prison?" Cao Zhang shook the bamboo slip. Said an angry word.

"Wait, what did you say?" Lu Rui listened to Cao Zhang's words, and suddenly thought of something, is this the most dangerous place is the safest place?

"Brother Rui, I said, is it that the person my father wants to arrest has already been caught, otherwise how could we not find anything?"

"What do you mean? Ziwen? ”

"Ah, Brother Rui, I'm just talking casually." Cao Zhang didn't know what he said, it was just an angry word.

"Brother Rui?"

"Zijian, what do you want to say?" See Cao Zhi's appearance. As if he had thought of something.

"Brother Rui, I used to be a small official in the Xu Du Taishou Mansion. Generally speaking, anyone who has been investigated by the Yamen will check the prisoner's file first, and if the prisoner has already had a criminal record in Xu Du and is detained in the Yamen, it will be another way to deal with it. When Cao Zhi was a student by Xun Yu's side, he often helped Xun Yu deal with Xu Du's official documents and exercise his political power.

Another way to deal with it? Lu Rui was a county guard, of course he knew the law of governing the county under Cao Cao's control, if a person has a criminal record and is already in the yamen, and someone reports the person's other crimes, the yamen will first deal with it coldly, and then retry and convict according to the number of crimes committed by the person.

Since the prisoner is already in the yamen, the yamen will deal with other cases first, and then retry the prisoner when he has free time. During the Three Kingdoms period, the population decreased dramatically, and in order to enhance the national strength, all countries revised the heavy laws of the Han Dynasty, in order to give the criminals a chance to be new people and increase the population.

"Hmph, in my opinion, those who sinn will be killed, and now my father's law is too light." Cao Zhang naturally also knew the method of dealing with Cao Zhi's mouth, compared to the previous law, Cao Cao was too lenient.

"Ziwen, don't talk about the middle father's decision." Cao Zhang doesn't understand politics, he uses heavy codes in troubled times, and he uses kindness to govern the world, and now Cao Cao controls the most territory, and the places he governs are relatively stable, so he has to use kindness to win people's hearts.

"Oh." Cao Zhang glanced at Lu Rui and couldn't even speak.

"Brother Rui, you said that the master behind His Majesty would use this loophole to evade our pursuit?"

"Yes, Zijian, what kind of person will be shelved and treated as an alternative?"

"As long as it is a county under the jurisdiction of Xu Du, people with a criminal record will be dealt with differently."

"Okay, I know, let's go to Zhong Xuan's county mansion." Lu Rui got up and tidied up his clothes, and took Cao Pi and the three of them to Zhong Xuan's county mansion.

Zhong Xuan's county government is located on the west street in Xudu City, which is a relatively small yamen, specializing in handling all kinds of government affairs in Xudu. The new county government is still under construction. Zhong Xuan is the commander of Xudu County, not Xu Du Taishou, and the current Xu Du Taishou is still Xun Yu.

Xu is the capital of the country, and there are four places under the rule of Xu County, Yingchuan County, Changshe, and Xu Tian. Xuxian is also the real national capital, and the main body of Xudu is the later Xuchang City. Xun Yu is in charge of the government affairs of the consul general Xu Du, and Zhong Yu is the county official who manages Xu County.

"I've seen Master Hou, three sons!" Zhong Miao saw that Lu Rui came with the third son of the Cao family, and hurriedly treated him with public courtesy, after all, this was a yamen, not a private party.

"Well, Yuan Chang, Rui came to ask for something." Lu Rui then told his analysis of the three of them, and asked Zhong Xuan to transfer out the recent criminal cases in Xu Ducheng.

"I understood, and immediately ordered someone to send the file."

Soon, Zhong Miao moved all kinds of cases that had happened in Xu Du recently.

"There are so many criminal cases, Zhong County Order, you have too no way to govern Xu Du, right?" As soon as Cao Zhang saw that it was a bamboo slip like a mountain again, there was more information than just now, and he immediately began to accuse Zhong Xuan.

"Aki Gongzi."

"Ziwen must not be rude, how can you think so simple about one party?"

"Yes, Brother Rui!"

Subsequently, Zhong Miao told Lu Rui the reason why the case was like a mountain, after all, Cao Cao's son knew, if he made a small report. Zhong Xuan also has a saying.

It turned out that after Cao Cao closed the four gates of Xudu. The beggars and some displaced people in the city of Xudu had no source of livelihood. After closing the four doors. Some beggars and homeless people who went out of the city in the morning to forage for food and returned to the city to sleep in the evening suddenly lost their source of livelihood, and it was not enough to rely on the alms of the people in the city.

"Master Hou, now Xu Du is relatively stable. The homeless people and beggars from all over the country all rushed to come to Xudu, and for a time there was no source of livelihood, so they could only deliberately make trouble and come in to do some hard labor. Zhong Xuan talked about a helpless situation, now that the country's vitality has just recovered, many people still have no fixed place, only to rely on the big city, relying on coolies to support themselves.

Although Xu Du is big, there are not many jobs that can be provided, and some homeless people who have no choice have begun to come up with ways to go to prison. Do overwork. But I can drink it with a mouthful of porridge.

"Alright, Yuan Chang. Ben Hou understands, you also stay here, follow Ben Hou to take a closer look. Lu Rui also knew that the world was not easy, so he didn't ask Zhong Xuan too much.

"Zihuan, the three of you will sort out these files according to the classification method."

"Yes, Brother Rui!"

Cao Pi and the three of them began to sort out the criminal files of Xu Du again, and after sorting them out, Lu Rui and the five of them began to analyze to see if there were any suspicious people in the prison.

"Brother Rui, it's all the same files, and I can't find anything suspicious at all!" After looking for a long time, Cao Zhang began to complain again, these files are basically official documents, with the reason for the prisoner's crime and the sentence. It's very simple, and in order to make it easier to record, the words are basically the same, short and clear, and there is nothing unusual at all.

"Master Hou, I also looked at it carefully, and I really couldn't find any suspicious people."

"Brother Rui?"

"Yuan Chang, what kind of food do you give to the prisoners?" Since you can't see anything on the surface, it's time to use a strategy to see if there is any suspicious person in the prison.

"Master Hou, it's all some coarse vegetables, and gruel."

"Yuan Chang, tomorrow you give them more physical work, and then add vegetables at noon, I will order someone to prepare some special dishes."

"Yes, Master Hou!"

"Brother Rui, who are you?"

"Zihuan, a person can cover it up, but the habits left over from the environment where he grew up can't be changed" Lu Rui patted Cao Pi and left the county office.

"Whoa, whoa!" A new day began again, in the prison cell of the county government, Sima Min was already overwhelmed, he turned into a lazy three and hid in the cell, he didn't expect to be assigned to be a coolie, and the prison food was not delicious, when did he suffer this kind of crime when he was the son of the Sima family?

"Lazy three, get up, it's time to work!" The prison bully in the cell kicked Sima Min, a lazy man who didn't want to work.

"Yes, Brother Tiger!" Sima Min pretended to be flattering, got up and followed the team to work......

After a day's work, the prisoners were all physically exhausted and gathered in the square of the cell.

"In order to reward everyone, my lord will add food to everyone today!" The cell boss shouted, and ordered the jailer to bring the food.

"Wow!" As soon as the meal was served, the prisoners all let out an exclamation, this time the prison meal was really good, there was chicken, pork, some fish scraps, and some unknown vegetable scraps.

"These are the delicacies in the Prime Minister's house, and today the Prime Minister inspected the county government and specially rewarded you." According to Zhong Xuan's instructions, the cell boss told the reason for adding vegetables today. Lu Rui, Zhong Xuan and others were in the arrow tower upstairs observing the prisoner's every move.

"Prime Minister Xie!"

"Okay, each person can receive two portions of these dishes, and there is enough food to eat, and there will be fruits after the meal."

"Hurry up and get something!" The prisoners were delighted and began to line up to receive food. Sima Min's body was thin and was squeezed to the back.

"It's your turn, get two dishes!" When the cell boss saw Sima Min walking up to him, he impatiently asked Sima Min to receive the food.

Sima Min looked at the dishes on the table at this time, some ordinary dishes had been taken away by the prisoner in front, and now there were still unusual dishes on the table. The unusual dishes are for a big family like Sima Min, there are some dishes from Hainan, some seafood and some meat scraps of Lingnan game.

Sima Min looked at some dishes and chose one dish with shrimp and one with the residue of conch.

"Wait, here's your fruit!" The cell boss casually threw a rotten pineapple to Sima Min.

"Master Jun, this?" Sima Min was stunned for a moment when he saw the pineapple.

"What? I don't like this fruit, do you know, this is what Lord Sikong often eats, and it is your honor to reward you! The cell boss scolded Sima Min, this beggar really doesn't know how to lift.

"Yes, yes!" Sima Min took his food back to the corner and ate it.

Lu Rui noticed Sima Min on the top of the arrow tower, this person had doubts when choosing food, it seemed that he knew everything on the table, and he was hesitant to take the fruit, it was very likely that he was a child of the family.

"Alright, finish dinner and go back to bed!" The cell boss shouted, signaling the prisoner to hurry up and eat.

Sima Min ate the food and vegetables, then held the rotten pineapple in his hand, refused to swallow it for a long time, and later hid it in his arms.

"Yuan Chang, who is that person? What did you do? ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, that person's name is Lazy San, a beggar, who was arrested for robbery." Zhong Xuan motioned for a jailer next to him to return to Lu Rui.

"Where is his criminal record, show it to me!" Lu Rui's eyes narrowed, there was a problem with this lazy three. (To be continued......)
