Zhao Ying is nine feet six inches tall, more than two meters tall, and has been on the battlefield for a long time, standing in front of people, he is already full of a strong sense of oppression, not to mention, at this time, he is talking about making people flat, but there are a bunch of crimes in his head.

Wood and Song Wu were both in winter, and the sweat on their foreheads was down.

"Your Highness, please command......"

"You should know better than anyone that whether it is the silk book in the belly of the fish or the inscription in this foundation, it cannot be born out of thin air, someone must have done it in advance......

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's eyes were cold.

"In the name of the governor of Jiangnan, I have three days for you to find someone who is secretly doing it! I want to see what kind of person it is, who dares to hide in the shadows to make waves and spread rumors! ”

Wood and Song Wu took over the task head-on, and as soon as they returned to their study, Song Wu, who was a little short-tempered, couldn't help but jump to his feet and scold.

"Within three days, he has the ability to why not directly cut off our heads! Those dogs, hidden like rats, where can we find them? If you say that it is within three days, even if it is within three months, you may not be able to find ......"

On the contrary, Wood frowned, twisted his sparse mustache and pondered for a long time, and suddenly said something faintly.

"Three days, time may not really be enough......"

When Song Wu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and suddenly came over.

"Brother Wu's plan-"

Wood looked at the bearded head that suddenly stretched out in front of him, and tilted his head back slightly quietly, avoiding Song Wu's heavy tone, and said quietly.

"Brother Song doesn't think the inscription just now is a little strange......"

Song Wu was stunned.

"What's so strange, you mean dug out of the ground?"

Wood shook his head slightly.

"No, it's too specific......"

"Concrete, what concrete?"

Song Wu was confused.

Wood subconsciously paced back and forth two steps with his hands behind his back, and then added a sentence faintly.

"Brother Song, three days later, it will be the lunar month......"

Song Wu suddenly realized the problem, his eyes slowly widened, and he couldn't help but breathe a little heavier.

"Brother Wu, you mean, you mean ......"

Wood shook his head gently at him, and pointedly digressed the subject.

"Brother Song, I've worked hard for you in the past few days, carefully check the past few months, especially in the recent period, in the southern suburbs, especially near Wei Laohan's house, have there been any new faces......

Song Wu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wood suspiciously.

"Brother Wu, didn't you just say ......"

Wood looked at Song Wu calmly.

"Brother Song, you and my brother still have some intelligence, over the years, His Majesty has trusted him, he is in Changsha, and he is diligent in his work, although he is arrogant, he doesn't dare to be too rude to you and my brother, how can he be so embarrassed as recently?"

"It's been bad luck lately!"

At the mention of this, Song Wu was a little aggrieved, sat down scolding, picked up the herbal tea in front of him, and drank it all.

Wood walked to the window, stood with his hands in his hands, and said lightly.

"As courtiers, we naturally have to do a good job in the tasks arranged by His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, but we must also do our own thing, otherwise it won't seem that you and my brother are too wasteful......"

Speaking of this, Wood turned around and looked at Song Wu thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty can be virtuous, and His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is also known as a corporal of Lixian, this inscription may not be an opportunity to show His Highness your ability to you and me......"

Although Song Wu is a military general, he can be a county lieutenant, especially if he can sit in Chu Di, where the resistance to Daqin is the strongest, and he can be safe and sound, so he is naturally not a fool, and he naturally understands Wood's hints.

It's okay to take the blame, but you can't take us for fools.

After all, I have already carried it once before, and my hands are stained with the blood of the Chu people, so it will not be worse this time or twice, but you have to know that I know. Only when you know that I know, will you recognize this favor and leave this incense.

Seeing Song Wu hurrying away with his manpower, Wood walked back to his case.

Think about how to deal with this matter.

Although he asked Song Wu to investigate, in addition to tacitly pointing out the emperor's eldest grandson, he actually wanted to show an attitude to the outside world, otherwise if such a big thing happened, the county guard would not even investigate, so he would arrest people, and fools would know that there was a problem.

It has nothing to do with how to deal with this.

Even, even if this matter was really unexpected by him, and it was really not the handiwork of the person he guessed, and he really found the person who really did it within three days, he was not prepared to announce the answer so quickly.

Three days later, it will be the wax moon.

That rumor is outrageous, and when it is self-defeating, it will be the best time to reveal the truth of the matter.

After Song Wu left, he took people to carry out a careful investigation of Wei Laohan's existence on the same day.

In this era, people's mobility is very poor. Most people have relocated to their own county, or even the township, in their lifetime. It's not that difficult to check for new faces.

Of course, Wei Laohan's house is located in the southern suburbs of Changsha County, and the flow of people is relatively dense, and there are relatively more fresh faces than ordinary villages. But there was not much more, and soon according to the villagers' descriptions, dozens of unfamiliar faces that had recently appeared near Wei Laohan's house were circled.

And once the time is further compressed and controlled within half a month, there will only be seven people left.

Of course, this is only what the villagers have seen before, and it may not be that they have not entered the village at night, or it is other fish that have slipped through the net.

These seven people, soon with the information of three people, was confirmed, all of them were merchants from the city who came to the village to sell daily necessities, and they were innocent, but as for the investigation of the other three, it began to reach a deadlock.

After all, strangers will only check their personal identity information according to the regulations of the imperial court if they stay overnight in the village, but if they pass by, who will have nothing to do to check this?

Moreover, unlike later generations, there are no eyes in the sky that can be seen everywhere in this era.

Passing by, then really passing by......

Song Wu was a little unwilling, and when he was about to retrieve the past information of the fresh faces who appeared in the city at this point in time, he suddenly became anxious, and he didn't have the time and energy.

Because, suddenly, a similar prophecy flew into the sky without warning!

Under the rule of Changsha County, the boundaries of nine counties such as Hunan, Luo, Yiyang, Yinshan, Lingling, Hengshan, Song, and Guiyang are blooming everywhere.

But the content is even more varied.

There are similar to the content of the silk book in the belly of the fish, and there is also similar to the content of the inscription of Wei Laohan's family, predicting that the first emperor will die when he enters the wax moon, and there is an inscription that is more exaggerated, saying that when he enters the wax moon this year, there will be ten stars in a row, the sky will fall, and he will return to chaos.

Of course, there are also more alternative.

For example, the people at the foot of Heng Mountain, there are many people who say that in the middle of the night, they have heard a fox howling all night on the hillside outside the village, shouting at the village: Great Chu is extinguished, Great Qin is prosperous-

All in all, it's very lively.

Can you still play like this?

When we don't exist right!

Wood and Song Wu are going crazy.

But it's useless to be crazy, after all, there is such a big thing happening in the place, how can the two of them, as the highest magistrates of the place, not go and see it in person?

Therefore, in the next time, the two of them could only act separately, either to ask and investigate the "prophecy", or on the way to investigate the "prophecy", in the nine counties, people were about to run numb......

Inside the galloping carriage, Wood, who had been jolting all day, looked dull and looked loveless.

"I'm so stupid, really, I shouldn't have looked into it so seriously in the first place......"

Wood and Song Wu are numb, but the county commanders under their rule are even more numb.

Under his own rule, there is this kind of problem that the whole family may lose their heads together, and it is difficult to think of it, and all the officials above and below the county government are almost going crazy, from the old pavilion chiefs of the townships to the various places, as well as all the officials of the county government, they set out collectively, from the county seat to the village, like combing the grate, back and forth to check all suspicious people.

I didn't find out the clue about the prophecy, but by mistake the entire Changsha County came to a big purge.

The bandits and thieves everywhere were almost swept away.

In the past, once these people were broken into pieces, hid in the people, or fled to the borders of the next county, they would also take advantage of the situation to collect their troops, and they were too lazy to fight with these people.

Not now, let alone running to the next county, even if you hide in a rat hole and dig three feet into the ground, you have to find people out.

Not to mention, in just two days, the social atmosphere of the entire Changsha County has been suppressed, and the state of public order has never been better, almost reaching the legendary realm of not closing the door at night.

When Zhao Ying heard the news, he couldn't help crying and laughing.

Unexpectedly, there was such an unexpected gain.

Of course, Changsha County has such a big basket.

For His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, who is the governor of Jiangnan and came to investigate the case of the silk book in the belly of the fish, it is almost a naked provocation. After he got the news, he was furious and slapped an elm more than a foot thick in public.

"How can this be reasonable, rampant, it is too rampant!"

His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun was so angry that his face was flushed, and he pressed the long sword on his waist and said angrily.

"Check it out! Once it is found, no matter who it is, the family property will be confiscated, and the three families will be connected! ”

The emperor humiliated his ministers to death, and the majesty of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson was offended, and the three thousand Praetorian Guards under his command felt the same way, as if they had suffered a great humiliation, and they jumped to their feet and cursed, and swore that they would crush the thieves to pieces.

One by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they stared at each other, guarded the four gates, blocked the main roads, and carried out a strict investigation of the entire Changsha County, so that some foreign business travelers who were stranded in Changsha County for some reason secretly complained one by one.

But at this time, who dares to complain half a sentence?

I can only consider myself unlucky, and pray that this kind of thing will not involve me.

……

It was at this time that Zhao Ying suddenly received several letters from Xianyang.

One was written by Zhao Qi, this time when he went out, Zhao Ying directly handed over the affairs of the house to his younger brother - after all, there is nothing big in the house now, with the assistance of the officials he left in the house, plus his own father staring, even if there is really a mistake, there will be no big mistakes.

It is just the right opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to exercise the talents of this younger brother of his own.

In this letter, Zhao Qi introduced in detail some of the affairs of the mansion and the results he handled, and what made Zhao Ying more satisfied was that although some places were still a little naïve, on the whole, they were decent, and their own training was not in vain.

Look at this posture, and after exercising for a while, you can release it first, and let him try to do something practical.

But the few things mentioned at the end of the letter couldn't help but make him frown slightly.

One is the family affair between Xiang Yu and Zhao Wan.

Under the intervention of Empress Zheng, the two were about to get married, Zhao Ying estimated the time, and when he read the letter, the two should have already finished their wedding.

Zhao Qi said this in a rather happy tone, in his opinion, Zhao Wan is a cousin who is closer to him, and Xiang Yu is a capable talent under his eldest brother, and this marriage is still a matchmaker made by his eldest brother himself.

It's a rare event.

The progress of this matter was slightly unexpected by Zhao Ying, but Zhao Ying immediately put this matter aside, since he made this decision and became this matchmaker, there is no reason to keep delaying.

This matter, even if he is in Xianyang, there is no reason to continue to delay.

The second was the mention of a name that he had almost forgotten.

In the past, the leader of the Kushan tribe, Xihou Qiu, recently in a banquet of courtiers, personally went down, in front of everyone, pulled Guicheng Hou, Donghu Wang and Mao Dun, together for his eldest father to dance a grassland dance, so that his eldest father Longyan Dayue, originally rewarded him as the fifth doctor.

Moreover, the former leader of the Kushan tribe, Xihou Qiu, also got the grace of being able to return to his hometown in Hexi to worship his ancestors.

When he said this, Zhao Qi wrote it completely with an attitude of telling interesting things, but in Zhao Ying's eyes, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Because, he suddenly remembered the achievements of this Xihou Qiu in the history of later generations.

That is a legendary figure who left a strong mark in the history of Ah San. At the beginning, the Yueshi was defeated by the Xiongnu, and the Kushan tribe led troops westward, crossed the Tarim Desert, crossed the Alai Mountains, and entered the Indus Valley, laying a huge territory.

This time, it was ......

He is really worried about the self-correcting ability of history now, and naturally he does not want to see that anything may return to the original track of history.

But this time, he pondered for a long time, and decided to let things go lightly.

If it was that Xihou Qiu, this time he could seize the opportunity to repeat the achievements of the original history, which was not necessarily a bad thing.

At the end of the letter, as if it was near the end, I suddenly remembered it, and I made a casual mention of it lightly.
