Volume 1 Ling Yuan's Old Affair and New Plot Chapter 54 Examine His Name and Truth, Be Careful of His So-called (Middle)
Seeing such a scene in the county guard's mansion, and hearing Gongsun Haojin's evaluation of the county guard Fan Tingnan, they couldn't help but admire this Lord Fan.
"This Fan County Shou has some means to deal with government affairs, if the officials of my Han Dynasty can be as pragmatic as him, and have no worries, it can be regarded as a prosperous peace!" Xia Qing sighed softly.
Dongfang Chunsheng habitually rubbed the coins hanging from his waist with one hand, and sighed, "The ancients were more real, and the present people are more delusional, so the ancients knew themselves, and the present people don't know themselves, so that's it." Twelve years ago, the patriarch of the clan An warned the army, ignited the imperial beacon, and supported the eldest prince as the crown prince. They think they have made great gains, but they don't know that they have lost the sacred heart and the hearts of the people on which they live. ”
Liu Yi asked curiously, "Grandpa Dongfang, what happened twelve years ago?" ”
Dongfang Chunsheng, who had always answered Liu Yi's questions, stopped talking, shook his head, and was silent.
Liu Yi was thoughtful, and when he saw that Dongfang Chunsheng deliberately avoided it, he didn't ask more, but he had been immersed in the sea of books for many years at a young age, and he had never read between the lines in the book, which also aroused the curiosity of the teenager, and he secretly decided in his heart that he was going to find an opportunity to explore this old past.
"Come with me, perhaps, you can hear something interesting." Dead Shichen, who was investigating the situation in the mansion just now, suddenly snorted coldly, and his tone was cold, "Young Master Gongsun, you don't want to follow!" Thank you for bringing us here, and I believe that we will give justice to the people of Zhangwu. ”
The sudden change of face of Dead Shichen made several people suspicious, and they guessed that Dead Shichen must have found something, and they were eager to try it one by one, and they all wanted to find out.
Long, winding, deep and narrow alleys often hide tempting interests and unpredictable dangers.
Everyone cautiously followed Death Shichen, and the Death Shichen case sword followed the small bead infused with thoughts, and the group turned east and west, and finally arrived at a very barren and secluded place.
Gongsun Haojin still followed, and it was precisely because of Gongsun Haojin that everyone was able to go all the way in this county guard.
"Please wait here!"
Dead Shichen put down a sentence, and then moved lightly by himself, and after a while, only a few low and muffled drinks were heard, and a few dark piles lurking around were silently cut off one by one by Dead Shichen.
According to the Han Dynasty's central twelve kings, the Tingwei Temple, which is responsible for arresting the masters of the rivers and lakes, and the Zongzheng Mansion Wentong Museum jointly recorded that the Great Han, Daqin, Wusun, Dayue, Goguryeo, Biyue and other large countries have less than 2,000 warriors above the city border and literati above the Zhiwu realm (Wusun and Dayue belong to the Western Regions, and the masters of the 29 countries in the South of the Western Regions and the 32 countries in the North are counted in the Wusun and Dayue countries). In the vast world, hundreds of millions of people can be described as rare.
Among the more than 2,000 people known, the Han Dynasty and the Great Qin jointly occupy 'most of the country', that is to say, within the territory of the Han Empire of tens of millions of miles, there are only more than 1,000 literati and martial artists above the broken city border, distributed in the prefectures and counties, which can be described as very few, and there are only a handful of masters above the city border in Goguryeo, which is located in the northeast of the empire.
It is precisely because of the presence of a master in the upper reaches of the rivers and lakes like Dead Shichen that although everyone is very panicked about today's trespass into the hinterland of the county guard's mansion, they are also fearless.
The conspiracy started in the dark room, the catastrophe started in the Xiao Wall, and everyone saw that the crowded county guard mansion actually had such a secluded place, such a secluded place, and there were even hidden pile guards, and they were even more puzzled in their hearts.
The group left Xiao Yixian to watch at the door of the withered courtyard, and the rest of the people crept outside the broken thatched hut, and the two in the house were controlling their emotions, lowering their voices, and 'attacking' each other with their mouths.
"Big brother, I'm your own brother, how could I do such a rebellious thing?" One of the people in the room had a hoarse voice, and there was a hint of reluctance and excitement in his words.
"Joke, you are my brother, what does it have to do with not doing things that are contrary to the Great Dao? Don't you think this sentence is a bit of a donkey's lips and a horse's mouth? The other man's voice was extremely cold, and there was obvious anger in the coldness.
"Big brother, if the younger brother has the ability to manipulate natural disasters, why should he still be a common man! Eldest brother! "The 'younger brother' in the room spoke sincerely, as if he was struggling to explain.
"Oh? What if the Zhangwu plague is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster? Fan Guanbei, Fan Guanbei! You have insulted the family style of my Fan family for four generations! The 'big brother' in the house seemed to be furious, and said angrily, "Fan Guanbei, today, I have three questions, if you can answer them one by one, then it can be regarded as my Fan Tingnan who mistakenly blamed you!" ”
Liu Yi and the others, who were eavesdropping outside the house, suddenly realized that it was the county guard Fan Tingnan and his younger brother, Fan Guanbei, who were talking in the house. Judging from the conversation between the two, Fan Tingnan obviously discovered the hidden truth behind the plague, this great plague that killed thousands of people seems to be a man-made disaster, and the initiator seems to be Fan Tingnan's own brother, Fan Guanbei.
As a result, Liu Yi's eyebrows were furrowed together, his eyes gradually became cold, and there was gradually a trace of killing intent that was not easy to detect.
"Big brother, excuse me! The younger brother will know everything. Fan Guanbei in the room was no longer as convincing as Fang Cai, his words suddenly calmed down, and he replied to Fan Tingnan.
"First, since the Great Plague, ordinary farmers, soldiers, guards, hawkers, merchants, and officials of the family have been infected with many diseases, why are your relatives, wives and children, servants, and private soldiers in Fan Guanbei all unharmed, is this plague long-eyed? Or do you have a magic way? Saved your own servants from the plague? Fan Tingnan's language is smooth, but it gives people a sense of not being angry and arrogant.
"Oh, big brother, these words are heart-wrenching! Since the plague, the younger brother is afraid of adding trouble to the eldest brother, strictly managing relatives and relatives, and strictly prohibiting going out, so everything is fine in the family, and the private soldiers and servants are used by the eldest brother, and the younger brother can't figure out why! ”
In a few words, Fan Tingnan's first question was turned invisible by Fan Guanbei, and between the words, he bit Fan Tingnan.
"Good, good! The second question is, the grain that has been distributed to the people recently is all from the official warehouse and my Fan family's private warehouse. After I became the county warden, I no longer participated in household chores, but why did all the people who had eaten my Fan's private food get sick, but the others were safe? Fan Tingnan was a little colder again.
"Big brother, this..., brother doesn't know! My Fan family also eats our own private food, and they don't all fall ill! Fan Guanbei didn't know, and he shirked the matter cleanly.
"Third question." Fan Tingnan paused, and took out a small packet of brown medicine powder from his arms, "This is your housekeeper Fan Yi handed over to me, according to Fan Yi's confession, a few months ago, you Fan Guanbei secretly transported three truckloads of this thing from Shuiheguan, ten miles away from the north of the city, and sprinkled it in the bazaar at the beginning, and after the outbreak of the plague, he simply poured it into the private food distributed by my Fan family." What is this? If it's a tonic, can my brother dare to taste it? If it's something else, I need an explanation! ”
The human and material evidence was there, and the silence in the room was suddenly a little terrifying.
Outside the house, everyone gritted their teeth, and Dongfang Chunsheng's hands trembled even more angrily.
Family strife, disaster to the people, such an act, how is it different from the Lingyuan Liu family? How is it different from the national moth?
"Hey! Everything is fate, and no one can help it! Fan Guanbei sighed, then let go of his voice, and said angrily, "Big brother, in terms of ability, talent, and appearance, I think I am not inferior to my eldest brother, just because I was born half a moment late, the meal should be eaten by the eldest brother first, the official should be made by the eldest brother first, and the good one should be chosen by the eldest brother first, I am unwilling." ”
"So, you used this method? If the eldest brother guesses correctly, when the time is ripe and the people are resentful, you will incite the people, blame me, go to the court, weave sins, and seize the position of county guard, right? If my prediction is correct, the reason why the county soldiers I sent to the city to deliver a message to the governor and the righteous soldiers who asked for help from outside the city have not heard from them is because they have been poisoned by you, right? Hey, after so many years, you finally told the truth and went astray! ”
Facing Fan Tingnan's lamentation, Fan Guanbei snorted coldly, "I have never regretted taking this road." ”
