Chapter 48
Just when the crocodile was hesitating, Annan County, the county guarded the yamen.
Liu He's brows were tightly locked, and there was uncontrollable worry on his face: "If the Qiangshui Water God does not move this time, Chen Lang, I must also arrest him and report it to the imperial court!" ”
Chen Lang is the official who took refuge in the crocodile, and he is also the county lieutenant of Annan County.
The "lieutenants" of Zhao are generally in charge of military affairs, conscription, conscription, etc., and the status of county lieutenants is only under the county order, which can be described as a high authority. However, because Annan County is the seat of county governance, there are all characters who Chen Lang can't afford to offend, and he can only be a man with his tail between his legs.
Chen Lang was born in a local family in Minjun, although his family is not here, he still has some power. But Minjun is different from Fan County, Zhaoguo can tolerate Fanjun Haoqiang sitting big, because the ministers don't care about Fanjun at all, as long as there is no chaos and Zhaoguo's energy is not involved. But Minjun is different, as a strategic place in Zhaoguo, the local families in Minjun who are not inferior have already been killed when Zhaoguo conquered this land.
Zhao ruled Minjun, and the life of these families was certainly not as prosperous as before. Before the Zhao people came, the land and population were all local families and heroes, and now when the Zhao army comes, these are all owned by the Zhao country, and the local heroes can't just catch the people as slaves, of course, there will be many dissatisfied local families.
But for the restless Haoqiang of Minjun, whether it is the previous county warden or Liuhe, there is only one way to deal with it - find the crime of this family, and then according to the Zhao law, send the army to fill the army, just build the river embankment scarce manpower, this is a political achievement sent to the door, don't be in vain.
Because of this, Chen Lang, as well as some of the families behind him, only dared to rely on his position to secretly sell slaves, trying to keep their lives at the previous level, but they did not dare to make trouble with the county guard openly, and their attitude on the surface was extremely deferential. So for many years, Liu He never found out that Chen Lang had bad intentions.
Unexpectedly, this time, the princess made a plan to attack the west, and someone needed to popularize the system of Zhaoguo to the god of Qiangshui. She didn't say a word, she pointed at Chen Lang, just one sentence - this person has malicious intentions towards me.
For Yanagi, this is no less than the collapse of the sky.
Sun Qing saw that Liu He was restless, and in order to marry this feudal official, he comforted him in a tone as close as a nephew: "Uncle Fang, don't worry, the princess doesn't take such villains to heart. ”
Liu He could only smile bitterly.
As the county guard of a county, Fang Bo, who guarded Min County on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he didn't even find out that the officials under his rule even had such a small person! And the princess obviously found out that this person had hatred, but she didn't take it seriously!
This makes Liu He not know what to say!
Chen Lang's thoughts, Liu He knew it after knowing about the Chen family's slave trade. It is nothing more than that the Chen family used to be a retired minister in Minjun, and he was a powerful man, although the Zhao Kingdom destroyed the Minguo and changed the country to a county, the Chen family knelt fast, was erected as a model, and was given a certain status, but the days were much sadder than before, and if they wanted to maintain pomp, they could only secretly rely on slave trafficking subsidies.
For the Chen family, they thought that they had given in to the point where they could no longer back down, the fields were gone, the slaves were gone, and they could only rely on slave traders to make a living. Now that the princess has to cut off even their only way of wealth, leaving them to live on a meager income, they naturally hate the princess to the core.
The villain flies camp dogs, thinking that if Annan County is flooded, the king will be angry and will definitely punish the princess. In this way, the princess will naturally be unlucky, and according to the laws of Zhaoguo, she may be executed.
But Chen Lang didn't want to think about it, not to mention that the king didn't explicitly say that he was sending the princess to control the water at the moment, but just said that he was going to preside over the sacrifice. Even if the king issued an edict, the result was that the princess did not do her job well and caused Annan County to be flooded, so what? It's just a county town, if you lose it, you lose it, where is the importance of the princess?
Liu He knew that with the current situation of Zhaoguo, even if he lost half of the land, as long as the princess still had such a strong strength, it would be impossible for the king to have a stalemate with the princess.
As for the princess......
The princess is as clear as the sun and the moon, and she doesn't take these details to heart at all.
Thinking of this, Liu He sighed again.
Chen Lang thought that he could use his strength to drive away the princess, but he didn't know that for the princess, he was so trivial that it was not worth mentioning. But this made Liu He bitter, and he lost five pounds in three days.
At this time, in the face of Sun Qing, Liu He sighed half sincerely, half deliberately: "The princess is merciful, but we can't be lucky, as soon as this matter is over, I will arrest the Chen family and my in-laws, and then write to the king to ask for guilt." ”
When Sun Qing heard this, he was a little puzzled: "But the princess ......"
Liu He interrupted Sun Qing's unfinished words: "Even if the princess doesn't inform the king about Chen Lang, how can we, as courtiers, be lucky and hide it from such fanatics?" ”
He was mentioning Sun Qing.
Liu He has already seen that Sun Qing is a more utilitarian person, and he will do things that can show his face no matter how difficult it is, but obviously he can't please good things, so Sun Qing is better than less.
For this kind of mentality, although Liu He doesn't like it, it's not that he can't understand it, after all, Sun Qing is only fifteen years old, young people, it's normal to be frivolous and play a little smart.
But once Sun Qing enters the officialdom, this mentality will be terrible. Therefore, Liu Hecai deliberately brought up this topic in order to mention Sun Qing.
Although the princess didn't take Chen Lang seriously, if she didn't say it, wouldn't the people around her say it?
Even if the people around her don't say it, then Liu He must have an excuse to deal with the Chen family! Chen Lang is a county lieutenant, his identity is different, Liu He can remove him, but if he arrests the whole family and confiscates the army, how can he not give an explanation to the imperial court?
Although Liu He's control over Annan County, including Min County, is relatively effective, who can guarantee that no one is eyeing him in the shadows and using this matter as a lever to attack him the next day? What if people fabricate accusations, saying that he was greedy for the wealth of the Chen family, or because of his personal abolition, he deliberately took advantage of the power of the county to attack Chen Lang?
That's right, of course Liu He can defend himself, but then he has to explain why he has to deal with Chen Lang, and it is because of official affairs, not private affairs.
At that time, Liu He will explain the cause and effect to the court and the princes again? What will the king think, and what will the minister think? Chen Lang dared to do something to the royal family, but Liu He dared not report it? What heart do you have?
Sun Qing is not a stupid person, Liu He mentioned it so lightly, he immediately thought of this, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Liu He saw that Sun Qing understood, so he sighed again: "So, there are some things, even if you know that it won't be good, you still have to do it." "Because you think it's easy today, tomorrow you will have to spend a hundred, a thousand times more effort to make up for it, maybe there is no way to remedy it.
Sun Qing bowed deeply to Liu Yiyi, and was about to say something, but he was suddenly stunned.
In his ears, the sound of a monstrous flood sounded.
