Chapter 52: The Night Rain Rises

The banquet that was originally smiling and smiling was as silent as death at the moment, and the tip of the needle could be heard falling to the ground.

In the huge hall, only the rough gasps of a few people could be heard.

Seeing that Fusu was calm and relaxed, it was clear that he had already included everything in his palm.

A few people knew that this matter could not be concealed.

Waiting for Fusu to report the extermination of the mountain bandits, even if it is not in the name of the three people.

They have long been inseparable from this matter.

There is no choice but to return to Fusu.

Bai Fu exchanged glances with the county lieutenant, and immediately left the table to bypass the table and kneel in the center.

The county also followed in fear, leaning behind the two.

Bai Fu's beard shook for a while, and then he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and said:

"Yes...... Mishi-sama. ”

"Supervisor Shi Li Chang?"

"Yes."

It was him, Fusu was slightly surprised.

This Li Chang and Li Si are inextricably linked.

He is not only a subsidiary of the Li family, but also relies on Li Si's status in the court to sit in the position of supervising the imperial history.

It is also one of Li Si's local forces.

Li Chang supervised the counties, and during this period, he contacted many local officials for Li Si, and Fusu knew a little about it.

But he never expected that Li Chang would be so bold as to dare to collude with mountain thieves in Chencang.

"Do you know why?"

In fact, Fusu had some guesses, but he still wanted to get more information from the mouths of these three people.

"The specific reason, the lower officials don't know."

"Probably, it's also for money and food."

Bai Fu kicked the road.

"They, since when?"

"When the lower officials knew, it was five years ago."

Five years ago, the actual collusion between officials and thieves would have only been much earlier than then.

It's just that five years ago, he was accidentally known by the Chencang County officials, and he had to come forward to coerce him.

In addition, Bai Fu and the others were afraid of things, so they naturally had to accept it.

is a good Li Chang, a good eunuch history.

No wonder no one reported this matter for a long time, it turned out that it was a self-theft by the supervisor of the imperial history.

Not to mention the people who supervise the place, how can the court in the capital of Xianyang know about it.

Fusu only felt that his chest was beating and the heat was surging.

He had to squeeze the wine bottle tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged, but he was already angry.

Li Chang and Li Si have such a relationship, and this matter must be inseparable from the prime minister.

Otherwise, the impeachment of him would not have allowed Li Chang to take the lead.

The collusion between officials and thieves has existed since ancient times.

One is to hoard money and food.

Fusu always knew that Li Si was secretly collecting money and grain, and he didn't want him to use such means in the local area.

The second is to eradicate dissidents.

No matter how powerful the henchmen and secret guards are, they are easy to leave traces.

Only this mountain thief is a vicious man.

Which merchant was robbed and which official was killed.

No one will suspect the important members of the court.

As long as the mountain thieves are not exterminated by the government, it is a foolproof plan.

Fusu didn't say anything for a long time, and the three of them knelt with sore legs and numb feet.

Especially Bai Fu, who was already old, was already trembling, and he only hung his head and didn't dare to speak.

Fusu waited for his mind to calm down a little before raising his eyes to everyone.

One faction said calmly: "Get up." ”

It was as if the surging color just now had never existed.

"Today's events, if half a sentence leaks out of the county government."

"What awaits you is not merit, but greatness."

Fusu's tone was the same as usual, but the coldness in his eyes was undisguised.

"Understood, understood."

"Xia Guan didn't say anything today."

Several people nodded their heads again and again, lest the next second of accountability would befall them.

After the three of them left, Fusu suddenly got up, his eyes awe-inspiring.

"Ganzi, people are staring at them."

"If there is any abnormality, detain it immediately."

"Han Min, immediately take Bingjia to the county government prison."

"Keep a close eye on the three thieves, they are key witnesses, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes, is Childe going to do so?"

"Huh!"

Fusu sneered.

He dropped the wine bottle in his hand heavily, and his eyes were surging fiercely.

"Li Si has attacked several times."

"Since it hit me this time, there is no reason not to do anything."

When Fusu returned to the room, he could only hear the noise of insects in the grass, which disturbed him.

Prime Minister's Mansion, back garden.

In the long chirping of insects one after another, Li Si and Li Chang stood by the pond under the willows.

There is no moonlight in Xianyang tonight, and the sparkling waves on the pool surface reflect the faces of the two with different expressions.

Li Chang was restless, clutching the drooping branches and crushing them into mud.

Lees' face was as usual, reflected in the pool.

Cut into a somewhat distorted face by the ripples of water.

"My lord, that Fusu has been in Chencang for a few days, but he hasn't left."

"Xia Guan is worried, he will be aware."

Li Si stared at the broken shadow on the surface of the lake, as if he was a little bored.

Li Chang led the impeachment without success.

On the contrary, Fusu was more trusted by the first emperor.

He still remembered that at the court meeting that day, the First Emperor made a final decision on the matter and did not allow anyone to say anything more.

His Majesty, who was sitting in the high hall, said:

"My son is benevolent and upright."

"Since the money came from the people, it is only natural that it should be returned to the people."

"Su Er is working hard outside to raise food for my Daqin soldiers, and Zhu Qing is in the court, so don't say much."

As soon as these words came out, the first emperor directly acquiesced to Fusu's discretion when he was outside.

This was extremely unfavorable to Li Si and the local officials under his command.

With the precedent of Fusu, the first emperor has also assigned some small errands to Huhai recently.

But this Hu Hai is stupid, and Li Siri has all the opportunities, and it is impossible to do everything.

Even with Zhao Gao's help, Yingzheng is still not satisfied.

Rao is Hu Hai is used to being obsessed and obedient, and he has also been alienated a lot.

In the harem, he lingered more at Zhao Ji's place.

His Majesty's trust in this mother and son has surpassed that of any prince and concubine.

Li Si had a big headache about this, and he was born to Zhang, who was the head of his horse.

Recently, he was also grabbed by the handle and stabbed in front of His Majesty.

The Zhang family was one of his great helpers to the nobles of the court.

has just folded a royal history, if something happens again at this juncture, Li Si will most likely not be able to keep it.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

Today, Li Chang got the news that Fusu did not raise food in Chencang, and stayed for several days and did not leave.

What Chen Cang has, they know well.

Fusu is the most keen, and if he really notices the abnormality, he will definitely investigate it to the end.

In the matter of the mountain thieves, on the surface, it was Li Chang, but the most profitable person was Li Si.

If he really let Fusu seize the evidence, he is afraid that the days when he is calling for wind and rain in the court will come to an end.

"What's the panic, isn't there no news yet!" Li Si was upset in his heart and vented and reprimanded.

Then he stared and asked.

"Bai Fu, can you trust those people?"

Li Chang said contemptuously: "Of course, they are useless, but there is only one point, they are afraid of death, and they just want to steal their lives and return to their hometowns." ”

"That's it, they won't take the initiative to mention it to Fusu."

The wind was blowing around the pool, and it seemed like it was going to rain.

The cold wind made Li Si's face even colder.

"Fusu is just an empty prince with no power in his hands."

"You're a prison historian, but there's a knife hanging above their heads, you can chop it if you want to."
