Li Xin was still angrily scolding Chen Ping for the local magnates of Yan Kingdom and the rangers from all over the country, Chen Ping did not speak but quietly listened to Li Xin's complaints.

From Li Xin's words, Chen Ping also knew why Li Xin was so annoyed, Yan Kingdom surrendered because of Yan Wangxi's escape and capture, except for some diehards, other magnates did not experience the sword soldiers of Qin State, which also made the old Yan magnates left in Yuyang County very powerful.

These magnates are not only strong themselves, but also have a lot of contact with the local rangers, the magnates and the rangers collude to continue to oppress the locality, because the promotion of the Qin law has led to the continuous damage to the interests of these magnates, but they do not dare to openly obstruct the implementation of the Qin law, so these people instructed the rangers to resist the Qin law, and the most direct manifestation is to let the rangers break the law on the street, and then escape.

Because these magnates supported these rangers behind their backs, the local officials and the lack of manpower made it impossible to catch these people at all, which made Qin Fa have not established prestige in the hearts of the people, so that it was impossible to carry out reforms.

And Li Xin, as a member of the military, the local rangers can't be caught by the judge's office, so they can only let the army come forward to arrest them, and there are no longer a few bandits formed by the roaring rangers gathered in the mountains and forests of Yan Kingdom, so the Qin army still needs to suppress the bandits. Whether it is a ranger or a bandit, most of these people are in collusion with the local magnates, whenever the Qin army goes to encircle or arrest, these people have already received the news of the local magnates, run away in advance, and even kill the Qin army.

The Qin army was not unfamiliar with the terrain, and someone reported the news in advance, so that the Qin army has not made any achievements, and even lost a lot of people, so this made Li Xin extremely angry.

"I finally know why Taiwei wants to kill the magnates of Korea and Wei, they only have the interests of their own family in their eyes, once they touch their interests, no matter who you are, he will dare to do it. Let me lead my troops and slaughter them. Li Xin said angrily.

At the beginning, Yan Wangxi escaped and was captured, and Yan surrendered without a fight, Li Xin was the happiest one, because he easily won a very high military merit, and the marquis was already a sure thing. But now Li Xin just wants to scold Yan Wangxi to death, knowing that there will be so many things after the surrender of Yan State, Li Xin would rather plow the land in Yan State and kill all those powerful people.

"No, it is not a war between the two countries now, and if it is a war, there is a way to kill them without disturbing the people. But not now, if they kill them now without reason and evidence, they will make the people panic even more, which is not conducive to stabilizing people's hearts, and will make the Qin State bear the name of killing.

And these magnates are still rooted in the place, if they use sword soldiers, they will inevitably not unite to rebel, and then the Yan Kingdom will definitely be beaten to the ground" Chen Ping shook his head and said, fighting the world and ruling the world are two different things, and ruling the world cannot use sword soldiers in vain, otherwise it will only backfire.

And for the sake of his own future, it is impossible for Chen Ping to let Li Xin lead his troops to kill people, which will give them an indelible black spot in their political career, not to mention promotion, and even be killed to stabilize the people's hearts.

Not only that, Chen Ping's purpose in coming to Yuyang County was to govern Yuyang County, not to destroy Yuyang County. Even Yingchuan County, with the support of the power of the Qin State, only recovered in three years, and the Wei State has not recovered yet.

"So what do you say? Do you just watch these people do evil? Li Xin naturally knew the truth, but he really couldn't swallow this breath.

"Wait, wait until I find the evidence." Chen Ping said indifferently.

After Chen Ping took office as the county guard of Yuyang County, these old Yan magnates came to the door to test the attitude of the Qin State and wanted to better Chen Ping, and Chen Ping was naturally happy to see it.

"What if you find it? Aren't you asking me to bring someone to kill me? Li Xin complained.

"When I came to Yuyang County, my teacher gave me a task to implement the Lingyi system in Yanguo, so as to lay the foundation for the implementation of the Lingyi system. And these magnates are also population, and they can do things, so it's a waste to kill them directly. Chen Ping said.

Now the bitter cold of Yan Country, coupled with the military disasters and natural disasters in these years, has made the original small population even worse, and the few people are more than the current Yan Kingdom, so Chen Ping does not want to give up any population.

"Do you have a specific plan?" Li Xin asked.

"Naturally, there is, but it can't be said to appear yet." Chen Ping said.

"You Confucian scholars like to go around the bend more than those Taoist masters, you tell me when you can let me make a move." Li Xin said.

"This matter is also easy to do, you only need to catch the three leading magnates among these people, and as for the rest of the people, slowly cannibalize them." Chen Ping said.

"The dramatist, the Guo family, and the Ju family, these three are not unscrupulous, if you want to catch them, it will be difficult." Li Xin said.

"So my goal is not to contact them directly, but to the Li family, who have a marriage with the Guo family." Chen Ping said after arranging the jade pendant on his belt.

"Then you follow your own plan, if they toast and don't eat and drink, I don't mind sending troops to destroy them, it's a big deal for me to go back and inherit my father's title." Li Xin said.

Chen Ping glanced at Li Xin speechlessly, yes, your grandfather is a marquis, your father is a marquis, and your ancestor is a Taoist ancestor, so you naturally don't have to worry about any consequences from your background, but I'm different, I have to climb up on my own.

If Chen Ping only wants to be ranked in Jiuqing, he naturally doesn't need to care so much, after all, he is Ziyou's disciple, and he used to be a close attendant of King Qin, no matter what, he is Jiuqing didn't run away, it's just a matter of real power, but Chen Ping's goal is the prime minister of one of the three dukes, which naturally can't rely on Ziyou alone, and he also needs to prove his ability, and Yuyang County happens to be an excellent political achievement.

Chen Ping didn't talk to Li Xin, but put on a fluffy cloak of a thousand gold and walked out of the room, the horseman outside the mansion had been waiting for a long time, Chen Ping got into the carriage, and went directly to the Li Mansion in the east of the city.

At this time, the Li Mansion was very lively, the servants were cleaning inside and out, and the front of the door was cleaned and sprinkled with clean water.

In the study of the Li Mansion, the patriarch of the Li family, Li Huai is sitting opposite Guo Yuan, the patriarch of the Guo family, Li Huai's face is full of awe, so the Li family and the Guo family are married families, but in fact, the Li family has climbed the Guo family, and Li Huai, as a nephew, naturally respects his uncle very much.

Guo Yuan is a descendant of Guo Kui, a famous minister of Yan State, Guo Kui is one of the protagonists of the original daughter to buy horse bones, the teacher of King Yan Zhao, one of the key figures in the rise of Yan State, and it is precisely because of Guo Kui that the Guo family has become the top powerful family of Yan State in one fell swoop.

And the Li family is just a second-rate family in Yan Kingdom, as for why the top Guo family married the Li family, this is because Li Huai's grandfather once saved Guo Yuan's father, so Guo Yuan's father married Guo Yuan's sister to Li Huai's father, thus having Li Huai.

"Uncle, why are you here in person?" Li Huai asked.

"I heard that you are going to have a banquet for Chen Ping, so I will take a look." Guo Yuan said.

Li Huai looked at Guo Yuan's calm expression and couldn't guess Guo Yuan's thoughts for a while, now the upper echelons of Yan Kingdom want to befriend this new county guard, after all, Chen Ping's background is too big, so big that they must also be cautious, and some families have even gathered the rangers under their own families, wanting to sell their favors in front of Chen Ping, so as to exchange for Chen Ping's favor.

Li Huai is naturally one of such people, the Li family has become a powerful family from a small portal because of Li Huai's grandfather, but after all, he has a humble background and lacks background, even with the help of the Guo family, the Li family cannot become a real powerful family, so Li Huai also wants to climb Chen Ping's thigh.

And climbing on Chen Ping's thigh, there was naturally a gap with the old Yan magnates led by Guo, Ju, and Ju, which was also the reason why Li Huai was uneasy after Guo Yuan's arrival.

"Don't worry, I'm not looking for you to ask for guilt, it's right that you are close to Chen Ping, you have ambitions in your heart, this is what I know, as my Guo Yuan's nephew, you have developed the Li family into a real powerful person, this is a good thing, I won't blame you." But you have to understand that Chen Ping came to Yan on behalf of the Qin State in order to implement the Qin Law, and the biggest obstacle to the Qin Law is we, the old Yan magnates. Chen Ping's promise to your banquet is not necessarily a good thing. Guo Yuan said.

"Uncle, I naturally know your concerns, but don't worry, I have observed Chen Ping for a long time these days before I decided to invite him to the mansion. Since Chen Ping took office, although he initially refused to accept the overtures to various families, he gradually accepted them. Chen Ping has attended a lot of banquets these days, so I invited him to my house. Li Huai said with a sigh of relief.

Looking at Li Huai's relaxed appearance, Guo Yuan knew that Li Huai didn't understand what he meant, but continued

"I mean you're too anxious, you see that other families are starting to get closer to Chen Ping, and you're worried that you're slow to make a move, so you lose the opportunity. But you have forgotten the marriage relationship between the Li family and the Guo family, and it is very likely that Chen Ping wants to test me with your hand. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, although I am not as wise as you, I am not someone who can test the words at will." Li Huai said.

Guo Kui looked at Li Huai and sighed helplessly, he knew that his nephew was still blinded by the interests in front of him, or he was fascinated by the goal of his life's work, now the Yan Kingdom is in ruins, for a family like the Li family, the sooner he takes refuge in the Qin State, the more benefits he can get, and the more he can strengthen his family, but the benefits of the Qin State are not so easy to take.

"How much do you know about Chen Ping's background?" Guo Yuan asked.

Chen Ping was born poor, relying on his brother and sister-in-law to take care of him to grow up, and then Chen Ping became a disciple of Mr. Ziyou of Confucianism in Nanyang, and then entered the Qin State Zhaoxian Pavilion, and after studying in the Zhaoxian Pavilion for two years, he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and became a small official who dealt with documents, and was later appreciated by the King of Qin, and became a close attendant of the King of Qin.

Two years ago, he was sent to the Zhaoxian Pavilion to take charge of the imperial examination, but Chen Ping's reputation in the Qin court was not very good, and few people were willing to associate with him, and then he was sent to Yan to serve as a county guard. Li Huai said.

"Do you know why Chen Ping was sent here to serve as a county guard?" Guo Yuan asked.

Li Huai thought for a while and said

"It was the King of Qin who wanted to balance the court, and the position of Confucianism in the court of Qin was too heavy, which was not conducive to the balance of the court of Qin."

Guo Yuan looked at Li Huai with some disappointment, and Li Huai was a little puzzled in the face of Guo Yuan's disappointment.

"As long as Ziyou is alive, the status of Confucianism in the Qin State will never be lowered, and it will not be surpassed by others because of the departure of one Chen Ping. The reason why Chen Ping came to Yan Kingdom is because only Chen Ping can handle the current situation of Yan Kingdom, and only he can make Yan Kingdom become Yuyang County of Qin State the fastest and most smoothly. Don't underestimate Chen Ping, Ziyou's disciple, King Qin's close attendant, and the consul of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, these are not incompetent people who can become. Guo Yuan explained.

Hearing Guo Yuan's words, Li Huai was a little distracted, he had never thought of this, he thought that King Qin was relegated to Yuyang County because of his poor reputation in the court.

"Uncle, what should I do?" Li Huai looked at Guo Yuan and asked nervously, his invitation to Chen Ping to come over to the house was already a sure thing that could not be changed, but as soon as Guo Yuan said this, Li Huai retreated in his heart, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Now I can only turn passive into active, Chen Ping's goal is very simple, I want to use your hand to probe my reality and reality, and further want to find out the relationship between us and those rangers, so as to convict us through Qin Law. In this way, it can not only eliminate us people logically, but also stabilize the people of Yan Kingdom, this is Chen Ping's purpose. ”

"Uncle, I'll just make friends this time, right?" Li Huai asked.

"No, it's rare that Chen Ping is interested in you, why don't we take advantage of it? There are many people in the powerful who don't deal with us? Why don't we borrow their lives to help Chen Ping establish merits, so as to befriend Chen Ping? Guo Yuan had a sinister smile on his face.

"Uncle, you mean that you want to put all the things on the Ranger's head and borrow Chen Ping's hand to get rid of them, so that Chen Ping can not only complete the task, but also get rid of those who are not dealing with us. And the fact that getting rid of these people can also promote Qin Law will help Chen Ping increase his merits and transfer out of Yuyang County as soon as possible, as long as Chen Ping leaves, Qin State will naturally send other people, as long as this person is not as difficult as Chen Ping to deal with, this Yuyang County is our final say. Li Huai immediately understood what Guo Yuan meant.

"The children can be taught." Guo Yuan smiled with relief, although his nephew lacked vision, he could be called smart.
