"Oh no! Look! ”

"Huh, what?"

Before waiting for the people in Linzi City, standing outside the city, watching the beheading of the old ministers of Chu State, they suddenly heard a discussion next to them, and then everyone saw that in front of the city gate, the officials were posting notices.

The proclamation stated in detail that within three years, all those who moved from Chu, Wei, and Yan to Qi must register with the government office, and if they did not register within five days, they would be regarded as black households and their status would be reduced to slaves.

"How is this possible! In the past, the king of Qi also did this, but there were still people in the city, hiding and not reporting! Now that Qin officials have posted notices, aren't those people who will take the initiative to register? ”

"Yes! Those people are all hiding, Linzi has such a population, even if you register all the household registrations from the streets and alleys, door to door, you don't know what year and month! ”

The moment he saw the proclamation, the people of Qi under the city gate were crowded with people, and they scoffed, after all, like these proclamations, not to mention that Qi Di is counted once every five years, and it is promulgated once, that is, in the past two years, Qi Wangjian has changed to two years, and there is no way to take those scholars who have secretly moved.

"Slash!"

However, in the midst of this up-and-forth discussion, suddenly there was an angry shout in the distance behind him, and the people looked over one after another.

When everyone saw it, just outside the city gate, behind the men, women and children kneeling on the ground, the executioner with a giant axe raised the giant axe and cut off the heads one by one.

In a flash.

All the people, merchants, and even scholars, when they saw the heads on the ground, their hearts jumped, and the whole person trembled, looking at the bloody scene, everyone fell silent, and their hands and feet were a little weak.

However, when they came to their senses, some of the scholars suddenly thought of something, looked at the decapitated corpses, and then turned their heads to look at the proclamation.

Wrong!

The King of Qi has no choice, because those scholars rely on the large number of people in Linzi, and the King of Qi can't find it, so he is not afraid, but now, in the face of the Qin State, in the face of Wu Liejun catching so much superfluous evil, can those scholars not be afraid? Do you still dare to hide?

Thinking of this, more and more scholars began to realize that Bai Yan seemed to have deliberately waited until this time to issue the notice.

Inside Linzi City.

Accompanied by the notices in the streets and alleys, in just two hours, outside the Linzi Mansion, there were countless people of the scholar clan, dragging their families and mouths in line, gathering together in turn to chat, and there were so many carriages that the entire street with no end in sight was blocked and could not move their feet.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Kuang, why are you here too!"

"Who wouldn't dare not come! So many old ministers of the Chu State have been caught, who knows if Wu Liejun Bai Yan knows about us, if he doesn't come, then there will be a big trouble! ”

"Yes, especially during this period of time, those scholars in Qi already have a grudge against us, and with this opportunity, those scholars will inevitably not tell Wu Liejun!"

Countless men in silk clothes gathered together, and when they saw familiar people, they greeted each other and chatted.

The old man and the old man were like that, the woman was like the woman, and even the young children were playing with the children of the other clans under the care of slaves and maids.

This scene made the people of Qi in the city amazed again and again, and they couldn't imagine that in just two hours, so many scholars came to the mansion.

Just as countless men of the scholar clan were complaining about why the government had not yet registered.

Finally, inside the gate of the mansion, under the guard of a famous Qin army soldier, Lou Feng, the general of the Qin army, slowly walked out of the mansion, and still held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Under the gaze of the dense people of the scholar clan, Lou Feng opened the bamboo slips.

"The general has an order, and if the person who registers today can report other people who are hiding, it will be meritorious......"

Lou Feng said something, and the many men of the scholar clan who heard Lou Feng's words all looked at each other and said nothing.

Whistleblowing, how can they report others!

In Linzi, these people are in Qidi, they are also people in distress, and it is naturally good to know that relationship, if it weren't for Bai Yan's fear at the moment, they wouldn't have come here, and now to let them report other people who don't plan to come, Bai Yan can't help but be a little whimsical.

Just when countless men, women, and children were all silent, looking at Lou Feng and laughing at Bai Yan in their hearts, behind Lou Feng, suddenly slaves were carrying shelves tied with cloth curtains.

Before everyone could understand why the curtain shelves and wooden tables were moved out, the next passage of Lou Feng made everyone hear it, and they all looked at each other.

"According to Qin's law, those who know but do not say anything will be guilty of sin! There are people who sit together, and only the clansmen have the merit of reporting can they resist the crime! Today's report on the hiding of one clan will be a merit, and tomorrow's report on the hiding of the three clans will give you a merit, and the day after tomorrow, only by reporting the hiding of the five clans will be regarded as a merit......"

Lou Feng read aloud according to the content of the bamboo slips, and after speaking, he signaled to the people of the scholar clan at the front, stepped forward to register, and after the registration, went to the side behind the wooden frame curtain, which was equipped with a wooden table, pen and ink, and bamboo slips, which were used for reporting, and there were also servants to take care of them.

Even if he did not report it, he had to sit behind the curtain and wait until the servant let him go.

After Lou Feng finished speaking, he put the bamboo slips on the wooden table in front of the Qin officials, and looked at the Qin officials who had been waiting for a long time, Lou Feng let the dozen or so Qin officials start to pick up the bamboo slips to register.

Outside the government.

Hearing Lou Feng's words, all the people of the scholar clan took a breath and secretly cooled down.

Looking at the friends beside him, even if the relationship is close at this moment, the people of the Shi clan can't help but worry, after all, the character of the friends can certainly be trusted with each other, but what about the people of their clan? Not to mention his uncles and uncles, they are all brothers of the same generation, not to mention the younger ones have heirs and nephews, and what is even more disturbing is those female dependents!

Who can guarantee that no one will want to report others and leave a way to save their lives.

In particular, the Qin people also specially took out a wooden frame curtain to block it, obviously to protect those who reported it, and no one knew whether they had reported each other at that time.

It's so ruthless!

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, looking at the scholars who were in front of the queue, the first to register, after someone had already registered, under the care of one Qin pawn, went to the wooden frame curtain, there were old people, men, and women, and many scholars who saw this scene couldn't help but glance at each other worriedly.

To say or not to say?

If you say it, you will betray other people, but if you don't say it, although there is no fault today, who can guarantee that the scholar who concealed it will not confess what he knows about himself after he is caught in the future.

Life and death are at stake, and no one dares to gamble easily, especially now that even all women and children are involved.

If you are really sitting, you will be arrested at that time, but you will be yourself!

Now when I go to the government to register, I don't want to take risks, I am afraid that I will be arrested, become a sinner, and be reduced to a slave in the future! Accustomed to the days of leisurely pleasure, no one wants to lose everything.

"Quick!"

"Hurry!!"

On the street, rows of soldiers of the Qin army armed with Changge and Qin swords also came to the street at this time to maintain order.

In the crowded streets, looking at the soldiers of Qin, and not preventing the clansmen from leaving, some old men and men of the clan hurriedly asked the children of the clan to tell those who had good relations about what happened here.

Inside Linzi City.

In the Jixia School Palace, the reincarnation and others were talking in the room, and when they saw the students coming in a hurry, they hurriedly told them what was happening in the city.

"That Bai Yan, what a powerful scheming!"

The reined master couldn't help but shake his head and said with a sigh.

Unexpectedly, when they were still thinking about how to save some people, Bai Yan had already made a move against the Chu Wei Yan clan in the city, and it was even more open and open to divide the Chu Wei Yan clan and the relationship between each other, so that the Chu Wei Yan clan, even if they wanted to destroy Bai Yan's purpose, they didn't dare to trust others easily, let alone let the Shi clan, who were already wary of each other, gather again.

"On the first day, you only need to report one clan to get a merit, and the next day you will be three clans! In this way, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, compared with the three tribes, many people will not hesitate to choose to confess the bad relationship on the first day, and people, all have preferences, men, women and children are different, what they say is different, which also means that with the confession, on the surface, it is meritorious, but in fact, the merit is offset......"

Lu Lao also shook his head at this time, his face was solemn, and after thinking about it, he quickly sensed Bai Yan's purpose.

As long as today's people confess, once this is started, it also means that they can no longer stop, and everyone is in full view, and they cannot discuss, and when they return to the mansion, even if they are honest with each other, the final result will only be to confess more nobles on the second day, in order to exonerate their crimes.

"Linzi City, it's going to be messy! That Tian Jin, how could he teach such an apprentice! ”

Tian Lao complained a little in his mouth, and when he looked at Wei Lao, who saw the wooden table opposite, he still closed his eyes and recuperated himself, Tian Lao was angry and helpless.

"Brother Wei! Thou hast thought of an idea! ”

Tian Lao shouted with some dissatisfaction.

Hearing Tian Lao's words, Master Gongzi, Lu Lao, and several other old men couldn't help but look at Wei Lao one after another.

It seems that he doesn't understand why Wei Zhe can still deal with it so indifferently, this Bai Yan has already turned the city upside down in the blink of an eye, and when the wind is calm, I am afraid that they will be powerless to do anything they want.

As for Wei Zhe's ability, these people all know it.

"Bai Yan has already laid out the situation, and the wood is already in the boat!"

Wei Lao opened his eyes and saw the gaze of these people looking at him, shook his head, and sighed.

At this moment, Wei Lao's hair was a little messy, the clothes on his body were also coarse cloth, and there was a pot of wine scraped around his waist.

in the room.

Hearing Wei Lao's words, Master Gongzi, Tian Lao and the others all froze, and looked at each other helplessly, in terms of doctrine, they are not afraid of anyone, but in the matter of intrigue, whether it is contempt or negligence, they have accidentally let Bai Yan occupy the people and geographical advantages.

"But if you continue to let Bai Yan go on like this, don't say that the clan of Chu Weiyan is the clan of the Qi country, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be spared! The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the Qi national warriors in the city have already handed over most of the household registration to Xiao He! When Bai Yan controls the Chu Wei Yan clan, he will definitely counteract the Qi Di clan! ”

The reined master looked at Wei Lao, and Yan Ming was powerful.

As the sacrificial wine of the Jixia School Palace, if he didn't know that the chaos in Linzi City was the mastermind behind Bai Yan at the beginning, then at this moment, with Bai Yan's actions one by one, the reincarnation had already noticed Bai Yan's plan.

Even the reined master had to admit that he didn't blame Yingzheng for paying so much attention to Bai Yan at the beginning, and even wanted to take Bai Yan, a Qi person, with him as a permanent servant.

"That's ......"

When Wei Lao heard the words of the regent, he took the wine jug, and stopped and paused when he was about to drink.

"Force Bai Yan to leave Linzi City!"

After Wei Lao finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine from the wine jug.

After two breaths, looking at the people of Fu Fuzi, Lu Lao, and Tian Lao, with a pensive look, Wei Lao smashed his mouth and directly raised his hand to wipe his mouth.

"Previously, Yunyang Jun was indifferent, so he took the people of the Ying clan to Linzi, and the purpose was to divide the seal! Now that the Qin State has annexed the countries, it is the lack of scholars to enter the Qin Dynasty, so that the scholars will help each other, in exchange for the people of Yunyang Jun Yingdan and the people of the Ying clan to dissuade Bai Yan, and the people appointed by the Qin court to be appointed by the county guards and county captains will arrive in Linzi, and there will be Yunyang Jun Yingdan and others in the ......"

Wei Lao slowly analyzed these people, and when he said the back, he burped and looked at the wine jug and shook it.

Lu Lao, Tian Lao and others, when they heard the words of the reincarnate, their eyes immediately widened, and they glanced at each other, full of joy.

That's right!

As long as Bai Yan is inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of Linzi City, everything will be difficult at that time, and it will naturally be solved.

"Ordinary scholars, Ying Dan and others, can't be full of ......"

The reined master nodded, but between frowning, he was about to say something, but before he could say anything, several students came to the study and hurriedly saluted the reined master and the others.

"Oh no, Master, Fan Zeng, and his clansmen have all been caught by the Qin people!"

"There are also Yu's family, Gu's family and others, all of whom have been arrested in the cell!"

The students, led by Tian Ziming and Tian Zinong, looked at Master Ru, Lu Lao and others with worried expressions.

"Fan was also arrested?"

When Lu Lao heard Tian Ziming's words, he frowned.

Someone must have told Bai Yan the addresses of these people, otherwise Bai Yan would not be able to arrest everyone at once.

"Old! The old man personally went to Bai Yan's mansion to ask for a favor and let Bai Yan let those scholars go! ”

Tian Lao looked at Master Gongzi, Lu Lao and the others.

Compared with those former ministers of the Chu State, the Fan, Yu, and Gu clans are all talented people, and it would be a pity to see them die under the sword of the Qin army.

It's better to go in person, let Bai Yan see the relationship between Tian Jin and them, and let those scholars go, after all, those people are not old ministers.

"Master, Master!!"

Before Tian Lao could get up, the master replied, and another student also came to the room in a hurry.

At the urging of an old man, the student told everyone the news he had heard in front of everyone.

Among them, not only Fan Zeng was taken to see Bai Yan, but even Fan Zeng had already inquired about the content of a piece of bamboo slip in his hand after returning to the cell.

"What? Say it again! ”

Tian Lao, who had planned to see Bai Yan, suddenly got up when he heard the student's words, and looked at the student with a blank expression.

"Bai Yan sent Fan Zeng's bamboo slip, which was written by Bai Yan himself, and he said: Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!"

The student repeated the report again, looking at the people with lost faces, this student was not surprised at this moment, when he learned these words, he was also in a trance for a long time, until he was woken up by the breeze, he came back to his senses and hurriedly came to the school palace.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people?"

Tian Ziming knelt on the ground, looked sideways at the person beside him, and couldn't help muttering when he heard the words.

"For the sake of the saints, for the sake of eternal peace!"

Tian Zinong and a few people were not much better, and kept repeating these words in a trance, this was the first time that everyone had read such thick words, and their profundity made them hold their breath for a moment.

"Peace for all generations!"

The reincarnation, Lu Lao, and Tian Lao also glanced at each other at this moment, reading this remark.

As a master and a few people who are already in their twilight years, they didn't expect to hear such words when they were about to be buried in the loess for most of their lives.

If the first two sentences are domineering and arrogant, then the last two sentences are frightening and admirable ambitions.

There are people who can say such a thing.

However, this person is for General Qin...... Bai Yan!

"That Tian Jin, how can you teach such an apprentice!"

At this time, the reincarnation also said exactly the same thing as Fang Cai Tian's complaint, but in the same words, people clearly noticed the difference in meaning.

One is like complaining, complaining, and a little blame, and the other is amazing, sighing, and a hint of imperceptible envy.

Wooden table.

Wei Lao took a sip of wine, and after swallowing it, he smacked his lips, it seemed that the wine tasted pleasant, the corners of Wei Lao's mouth rose slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes flickered slightly.

……………………

Xianyang, Qin State.

In the Xianyang Palace, a eunuch hurriedly held a bamboo slip, came to the study, and then knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Hangu Pass, the general Ling, led by the iron cavalry, has escorted the old man and arrived in Luoyang! You will be able to reach Hangu Pass in a few days! ”

The eunuch reported.

Behind the wooden table, Ying Zheng was reviewing the bamboo slips sent by various counties and counties, and when he heard the eunuch's report, his gaze suddenly stopped, and after two breaths, he put down the bamboo slips.

Meng Yi had also come to the eunuch at this time, holding the bamboo slips in both hands, and after the eunuchs retreated and left, he turned around and came to the wooden table and handed the bamboo slips to Ying Zheng.

As a close minister next to Ying Zheng and a regular servant of the Qin State, Meng Yi knows very well that Ying Zheng attaches great importance to the old man who wrote books.

It is no exaggeration to say that just because Ying Zheng used to read the old man's book alone in the late night, Meng Yi dared to be sure that when the old man came to Xianyang, Ying Zheng would definitely be generous and discuss.

And in the entire Xianyang City, all the ministers of the court, as well as the countless scholars in Xianyang City, will be shaken by the arrival of the old man.

"Your Majesty, do you need to send the CRRC Fuwei to escort you outside Hangu Pass?"

Meng Yi watched Ying Zheng take the bamboo slip, opened it, thought about it, and asked softly.

In the past, when Bai Yan attacked Chu and returned to Qin, Ying Zheng personally went to Wuguan to greet him, although he met in Ba later, but this is enough to see that Ying Zheng favored Bai Yan.

Now that the old man came to the Qin State, he didn't know how Yingzheng planned to greet him in order to show his importance.
