Huiji County.

Yin Tong paced back and forth in the county guard's mansion.

Restless.

He couldn't sleep and eat during this time, especially when he thought of what happened in the counties near Yunmengze, it made him feel like a man, and he had some understanding of the situation near Yunmeng.

It was also a gathering place for the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

However, compared to the land of Wu Yue, Yunmeng is actually more of a rogue and a dead, and the number of nobles of the Six Kingdoms is not very large overall, even so, under the vigorous investigation of the First Emperor, there are nearly 100 officials in prison.

At the moment, the officials of the nearby counties are panicking.

He was equally distraught.

He has the same close relationship with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and he has a lot of contact with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in private, and even deliberately let Xiang Liang and other wanted criminals of the imperial court go before.

Then.

He summoned a servant.

Inquire carefully about what he had told him to go down the other day.

Yin Channel: "Let me ask you, what I told you to do a few days ago, how did you do?" Is everything that should be dealt with cleanly? The Xiang family, the Song family and other nobles of the six countries have all moved out, and some things that may have happened have been cleared? ”

This little official is Yin Tong's henchman.

He has been by his side since he first came out, and he has a lot of trust in this person.

The little official looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Back to the chief, the subordinates have done what the chief commanded." ”

"Just."

Yin Tong frowned, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and asked, "Just what?" ”

"What's the situation, just say it."

The little official smiled bitterly, with a look of embarrassment in his eyes, and said helplessly: "The nobles of the six countries near Huiji County don't seem to have much idea of moving away, they say that Wu Yue Mountain is high and deep, and the Qin army does not dare to search at will, and they have been operating here for a long time, and they think that they are sticking to Jintang, and even if the number of Qin troops is several times more, it will be difficult to find their whereabouts." ”

"They don't want to evacuate."

"Ridiculous!" Yin Tong raised his arms and shouted angrily: "The bullshit is solid, if it weren't for my Yin Tong's help, how could their whereabouts really go unnoticed?" That's not a few people, but hundreds, even if it's hundreds of dogs, in the deep mountains, it's eye-catching enough. ”

"That's what they really say?"

Yin Tong still didn't believe it.

He had a close relationship with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms such as the Xiang family.

I can't believe it, this is the reply of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

The little official nodded with a wry smile and said, "The subordinates have been with the chief for many years, how dare they deceive in this kind of thing?" ”

"The subordinates have deliberately tried to persuade them a few times in the past few days, but they have all been stopped, that Xiang Liang's nephew, Xiang Yu has also spoken out many times, thinking that I am shaking people's hearts, if it is not for Xiang Bo's dissuasion, the subordinates will inevitably be beaten."

"In addition to the Xiang family, the Song family, the Tang family and other nobles of the original Chu State are also unwilling to evacuate."

"They're just as eloquent."

"Some people think that they have a large number of farms and houses in Huiji, and they are unwilling to give up easily, and some say that the Qin army is just in vain, and there is nothing they can do about it, and the chief officials are scaring themselves, and they also talk about their losses directly, and want the government to compensate them."

Hear the words.

Yin Tong's face darkened.

He was also completely angry, and shouted angrily: "How can this be true, they really think that it is me Yin Tong who is begging them to leave? It was also for their good that I let them go, they seemed to have forgotten who had been secretly helping them all these years, and if it weren't for my help, how could they, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, live so freely? ”

"Okay."

"They seem to have forgotten it all now!"

The little official said: "The subordinates are also persuaded like this. ”

"Just."

"Then Song Yi said that the Qin army is not aimed at them this time, so they don't plan to change easily, and it's too late in time, the first emperor's patrol team is not far away, once it moves, it will definitely be discovered, and then there will be an accident, in addition, they use the excuse that their people are hundreds or thousands, and they move all at once, they really don't have the ability, so they just don't want to move."

In addition, Song Yi also said"

The little official raised his head and looked at Yin Tong, who had a dark face, and was a little hesitant whether to say this sentence, but after pondering for a while, he still decided to say it all, and he continued: "If the chief officials are in trouble, you can ask them for help, they are willing to sacrifice their lives to help, and they are also willing to conspire with the chief officials to do great things." ”

Hearing the last sentence, Yin Tong couldn't hold back at all, and scolded angrily:

"I knew that these nobles of the Six Kingdoms were a group of white-eyed wolves who were not familiar with them, and I respected them so much on weekdays, but they clearly didn't take me Yin Tong in their eyes, and they really thought that they were still the nobles of the Chu State?"

Yin Tong was also completely angry.

What are the intentions of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, how could he not know?

I just want to drag myself into the water completely.

In the past, they used each other, he wanted to use the prestige of these Chu nobles to participate in Chu to help them govern Huiji County, and the Chu nobles used him to evade the government's investigation, and both sides actually did not fully trust each other, and they have always used the relationship.

It's just that both sides have their own bottom lines.

However, this time, the first emperor went south with the army, and the county captains and county captains everywhere were all old Qin people.

What are they doing against Qin?

In the end, most of them fell into the fate of the Xiang family and the Song family, wanted by the imperial court, and hid in Tibet, and how could this be what Yin Tong wanted to see?

As for what Song Yi said, there is not enough time.

It's complete nonsense.

When the First Emperor made a move in Yunmeng, he had secretly ordered the Xiang family and the Song family to transfer, but did they really listen to it? These people just made up their minds that they didn't want to leave.

Those are all excuses.

Even.

These nobles of the Six Kingdoms also regarded this attack by the First Emperor as an opportunity to strengthen their own power.

Trying to pull the originally wavering officials over completely.

After all, as long as the First Emperor is in Huiji County for a day, these officials will have to worry about it for a day, or as long as these nobles of the Six Kingdoms make some movements behind their backs, causing the First Emperor to be dissatisfied, they are likely to find out about them in the end, and then they have no choice but to be punished by the imperial court, so they can only take refuge in the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

And under their protection, they may be able to escape.

However, Yin Tong knew in his heart that once he switched to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, there would be no turning back, and he would also be at the mercy of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

What's more, whether the nobles of the six countries can keep themselves is still a matter of two words.

He didn't have the slightest confidence in the strength of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, if the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were unwilling to protect it, wouldn't he have to wait for death?

And once it can't be saved.

Not only will he lose his post as the county guard of Huiji County, but he will also be wanted by the imperial court, from a high-ranking official, to a criminal of the imperial court, and he can only hide in Tibet in the future, completely relying on the Xiang family and other big clans, the gap is too big, which is absolutely unacceptable to Yin Tong.

Yin Tong's eyes wandered, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "You immediately send someone to inform these nobles and tell them what their intentions are, I Yin Tong knows very well, but I also tell them not to push me into a hurry, if I am investigated by the court because they show their feet, I Yin Tong will not guarantee that they will not confess at that time." ”

"I will do what I say!"

The little official's heart sank, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The subordinate will go and pass the word." ”

"Let's go down." Yin Tong waved his hand, his eyes were a little tired, and finally added, "Since they don't want to go, then stay in Huiji, but during the period of the First Emperor's tour, there must be no mistakes, otherwise, I, Yin Tong, will not be merciful." ”

Wait for the little official to go away.

Yin Tong could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

He just felt like he was being played.

In the past, he had a very happy conversation with Xiang Liang and other nobles of the Six Kingdoms, pushing cups and helping lamps, and even more commensurate with brothers, but when it came to the critical time, these people only thought about calculating themselves behind their backs, and did not take life and death to heart at all.

Yin Tong scolded angrily: "Xiang Liang, I Yin Tong thinks that I treat you well on weekdays, why is it a matter of my Yin Tong's life and death, you don't even want to wronged yourself?" ”

"Do you really think I'm cowardly and deceitful?"

"The clay figurines still have three points of fire."

"Don't you just rely on me to walk around with you and don't dare to expose you, but if I Yin Tong really comes to a dead end, I, Yin Tong, am not afraid of dragging you all down."

"Let's die, let's die together!!"

Yin Tong also lost his temper completely.

Since the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are unkind, they will not blame him for being unjust.

It's just that subconsciously, Yin Tong is still a little hesitant, because according to Qin Law, he colluded to restore the remnants, and the crime is enough to be beheaded, but if he really takes refuge in the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, there is no way to live, but he really can't lower his head.

And this is also where the nobles of the Six Kingdoms calculate.

It is to recognize that they are afraid of death.

Three poles on the sun.

Yin Tong has no intention of dealing with political affairs at all.

He has sent all the officials close to him out to secretly follow the whereabouts of the First Emperor, and at the same time investigate the whereabouts of the officials who accompanied him, the officials of the Imperial Court and the Imperial History Mansion, to ensure that he can grasp the effective information as soon as possible.

That's just at this time.

The county prince Li Mo arrived at his official residence.

Seeing Li Mo coming, Yin Tong frowned slightly, a little puzzled, Li Mo's intention.

Li Mo didn't speak, but directly closed the doors and windows, and then said with a solemn face: "County guard, something happened, I just heard the news, the imperial court actually sent someone to our county to investigate the situation a month ago, but I'm afraid that a lot of things have been investigated in this month." ”

Hear the words.

Yin Tong was slightly shocked in his heart, but his face was still stable, and he said lightly: "Jun Cheng, why do you say this?" Where did you hear about this? ”

Li Mo sighed and said, "I can't hide it, there is an official in the Imperial History Mansion, who was my friend when I was young, and he is now traveling with His Majesty, and he also sent a letter to me privately, and the matter investigated by the imperial court is the collusion between local officials and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms." ”

Hearing Li Mo's words, Yin Tong's face changed sharply.

He contemplated and said, "Are you serious? ”

"It's about my own net worth and life, how dare I tell a lie?" Li Mo said anxiously.

Yin Tong looked suspicious.

For such an urgent matter, why did Li Mo find him?

He doesn't have a deep friendship with Li Mo.

And the county guard and the county have always had a private struggle for power.

The same goes for both of them.

It's just that there is a kind of harmony on the face, but in private, they are not less targeted at each other.

Looked at.

Li Mo got straight to the point and said: "You are from Huiji County, and I, Li Mo, am from Wei, but after the fall of Wei, I switched to Chu State, and after the fall of Chu, I directly became a Qin official, but the situation of Huiji County, the county guard knows, and I, Li Mo, also know." ”

"Almost all of the officials of the counties and counties are connected with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms."

"If the imperial court really investigates it, most people in Huiji County will not be able to withstand the investigation, and most of the county officials such as me will be slaughtered, and the county guard can know who the officials who were ordered to investigate this time were?"

"Who?" Yin Tong asked.

"Tao She!" Li Mo said with a frightened face.

"The Pottery?" When Yin Tong heard this name, his face couldn't help but change slightly.

He knew Yin Tong, which was one of the imperial histories that the first emperor brought this time.

This person's real fame actually came from the battle of destroying Chu, in the battle of destroying Chu, this person made a lot of achievements, and then was promoted to the bronze official under the rule of Shaofu, and was just promoted to the imperial history not long ago.

That's why.

Yin Tong couldn't help but be surprised.

Because Tao She has a blood feud with the nobles of Chudi.

Others may turn a blind eye, but Tao She will not, he knows very well what he can be promoted to this position, and he also knows very well what kind of liquidation he will face once the remnants of the Six Kingdoms become bigger, so when it comes to clearing the nobles of Chudi, this person will definitely make an incomparable contribution.

This person is also the imperial history.

If it really falls into the hands of this person, it is likely that he will not escape death.

Yin Tong also instantly understood why Li Mo came to him.

He was also afraid of death.

Once Tao She really finds out something, none of them can escape, this person will really kill them.

Yin Tong's face became gloomy.

He also felt that things were not good, the First Emperor was clearly rushing to kill them and forcing them to their deaths, and they really didn't have much power to resist now.

They do have a lot of power in the local area.

But there is no military power in his hands.

The military power of Huiji County is in the hands of the county lieutenant.

Although the county lieutenants usually have a vague attitude, they are at peace with each other, and even turn a blind eye to each other many times, but it is usual, if it is really the order of the first emperor, most of this person will still obey, so that they have no power to resist under the army of 10,000 people accompanied by the first emperor, can they really only switch to the nobles of the six countries?

Yin Tong's eyes flickered.

He couldn't make up his mind a little in his mind.

If he really chooses to rebel against Qin, he will definitely arouse the anger of the First Emperor, and what impulsive actions the First Emperor will make at that time, but it is difficult to say, whether the nobles of the Six Kingdoms will continue to protect themselves at that time, he really has no bottom in his heart.

And this time, Xiang Liang and the others no longer care about their own life or death, and when they no longer have this official position, they are afraid that they will be more unscrupulous, and he has no room for struggle at all, so he can only let him laugh.

Come to think of this.

Yin Tong's face was very ugly.

Forthwith.

He seemed to have thought of something, moved his gaze to Li Mo, and said gloomily: "Jun Cheng, you came to me today, I'm afraid you didn't come to deliberately use this time to scare me, even if you are familiar with the official under the rule of the imperial history, but how can this person take such a big risk for you?" ”

"Say it."

"What's your way out?"
