Chapter 113: Chen Di collaborated with the enemy
In the face of the crisis, Li Yuan's resolute measures made a group of officials who followed Yongqi feel happy and encouraged, although it was only a bumper harvest season, they seemed to see the hope of reviving Great Qin.
Among these people, Chen Di is undoubtedly the one who is most concerned.
"Gong Chen, there is a military marquis surnamed Han outside the door who asks to see you." Just when Chen Di was thinking wildly, a servant hurriedly came in to report.
"Please come in." Chen Di nodded.
He is still relatively familiar with the generals in Li Yuan's army, among the well-known ones, there is no surname Han, and with the growth of Li Yuan's strength, low-level positions such as military marquis are increasingly held by some newly promoted soldiers, these people are a group of people who are completely unfamiliar to Chen Di, who is accustomed to living in seclusion.
The noble blood of the royal family has given the inheritance clan a lofty status, so that they can reach a high position and be worshiped without much effort, but at the same time, it also keeps them away from ordinary people, and gradually becomes a group of idlers who are out of touch with the world, do not produce, and have high eyes.
The hereditary royal family began to decline in the troubled times, just like Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Huai, waiting for him is just a dead end, and waiting for Chen Di, the nobles of the Qin State, is also the same fate.
Standing under the low gatehouse of Zongzheng Mansion, Han Si, who was the first military marquis, was a little hesitant, for a craftsman who did carpentry work, there were few opportunities to deal with high-ranking officials.
The first time he went to Zongzheng Chen Di's mansion, Han Si was still a little unnatural in his heart.
"Han Junhou, Zong Zheng is invited!"
Hearing the servant's humble words, Han Si straightened the plate hat on his head, and strode in with a solemn expression with a few soldiers.
"Han Junhou, I don't know what's going on, I want the lieutenant generals of the Labor Army to come?" Chen Di knelt behind the desk in his robe, and looked up to see an unknown lieutenant general coming in from outside.
"Yu Zongzheng, we are ordered by Changshi to thoroughly investigate the recent sneaking in, how many portraits of people are here, I don't know if Zongzheng can know him?" Han Si said that, and ordered the entourage sergeant to unfold a few shadow figures.
"What does Han Junhou mean by this, do you mean that there is an enemy in my house? This is a big crime of collaborating with the enemy, so I'm going to see Chen Ping and say that I understand? Chen Di suddenly changed color when he heard this, and said angrily.
Li Yuan's order has already been unmistakably transmitted to every level of officials, and a high-ranking official like Chen Di, even if he does not have a specific position, knows what it means to have intermittent work in the palace?
"Don't worry, Zong Zhenggong, we are here on the order of Changshi. After many days of investigation, the traces of these suspicious characters were found in the Fuzhong Courtyard, and now, the soldiers in the army have surrounded the Courtyard, Han is here, just to ask, does Zong Zhenggong know about this? Han Si took a deep breath and took a step forward and said loudly.
"You, since you have already surrounded the other courtyard, why do you want to ask for instructions again, are you trying to humiliate the old man?" Chen Di had been so angry that he was about to lose his mind, so that he instinctively disgusted Han Si's words.
In fact, as soon as he saw Han Si, Chen Di's mentality began to become subtle, a little military marquis who didn't know strangers dared to come to the dignified mansion to ask for someone, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead, didn't he know that the world of Qin was established by the royal clan?
The fall of the Qin State and the glory of the past made Chen Di unable to extricate himself, so that he gradually forgot that the people who now rule this place are no longer the royal family surnamed Ying.
"Since Zong Zhenggong said so, then Han will retire first, another day, and then report back when he has accurate information." Han Si waited for Chen Di to vent almost completely, Fang Shi replied lightly, and without waiting for Chen Di to speak, he took the sergeant to roll up the album and turned away.
"This, Chen Ping, don't deceive people too much, come here, prepare the car, I will go to the eldest princess's mansion and accuse him of Chen Ping for the crime of disrespecting the royal family." Chen Di scolded angrily, and his old face was red and white for a while.
Not long ago, he also intended to compete with Chen Ping for the position of Changshi, but as soon as he said a word in front of the eldest princess, he was blocked back by Zhao Yushu, for Chen Di's ability, Zhao Yushu saw it clearly, the words "low eye" and "unworthy talent" are used to describe Chen Di, just imagine, if Chen Di is really talented, how can he be unknown in the court of Qin.
"Father-in-law, why do I look a little familiar with the portrait of Han Junhou Fangcai?" When Chen Di was scolding, Chen Da, the steward who had been standing on the side, said hesitantly.
"What, which one do you say? Come on. Chen Di was shocked, he didn't look carefully, and when he heard Chen Da say this, he was also a little panicked.
"It's the first one, a bit like the steward of the horse's house?" Chen Da didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly pointed out the suspicious object.
Not long ago, he did take in a few old friends and servants who fled from Xianyang, at that time, these former old friends came to vote, talking about the situation in Xianyang, lamenting that the emperor's son, Ma Cao, Feng Jing and other clan relatives were all killed by the overlord Xiang Yu, and all the old friends suffered misfortune, Chen Di was also sentimental.
"Who's got what?" Chen Di asked urgently.
"Ma Feng, who used to be the steward of the foreign government of the Ma Confessor's family, I remember that more than a dozen of them came at that time, and now they are all placed in other courtyards as slaves." Chen Da hurriedly replied.
Slaves are slaves who are lower than the tenants who have generally lost their fields, only output, no income, no freedom, no Fu records, they are only equivalent to a piece of property of the master's family, which can be transferred to others at any time, and can also be destroyed and lost at any time, the remnants of the slavery system have not been eliminated in this era, and there are hidden groups like slaves, not only in Chen Di's mansion, but also in other royal families.
Chen Di agreed at that time, and he was also greedy in his heart, thinking that there were more than a dozen or twenty strong men, just to produce more grain and more income, Yongqi This place is the land of the west, the products are not abundant, and Li Yuan's control is tight, Chen Di can't think about the luxurious days in the past.
"Slave, Chen Da, you quickly go and gather the doormen, do it tonight, remember, don't leave any traces." Chen Di's heart jumped up.
Under his hands, there was also a group of guests and guests who had robbed the prison at the beginning, and these people escaped one after another before the fall of Xianyang, and then began to gather around Chen Di in twos and threes.
The children of the Mo family, it sounds very majestic, rangers in the world, no worries, in fact, this is not the case at all, these customers also want to eat, and they also want to live a good life, and they are not engaged in production, and they have no other survival skills, the only ability they have is to become the thugs of the wealthy family.
In this troubled era when the gate valve clan is dying in an instant, it is not easy to find a haode master's house, Chen Di is kind and kind, and he is an old acquaintance, although Yongqi is a little remote, but it is still occupied by the Qin army, and all the guests flock to it, which also makes Chen Di surprised and feels that the burden is intensified.
Now, it is time for these moths to contribute, and the troubles of Ma Feng and these slaves must be solved before Chen Ping is arrested, otherwise, Chen Di will be convicted of collaborating with the enemy.
