Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 213, The Secret of Bai Qi's Death
Concubine Yan noticed the sight behind her, turned her head and saw the three little ones at the door, a gleam of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Xiao Yu, although Xiao Yu's appearance hadn't grown yet, it was enough to see what the future would look like , is definitely a complete beauty.

Concubine Yan looked at the two young men beside Xiao Yu again, her eyes lit up, she turned around and continued talking with Yan Lingji about buying silk.

"Shopkeeper, those three at the door are your guests, right? You entertain first, and we will see for ourselves." Concubine Yan said flatly.

"Okay, okay, take a look, if you need anything, just say it, Madam has already ordered, you three just take whatever you fancy." The shopkeeper said, after the three of Concubine Yan entered his shop, the widow Qing's guards came and asked him to entertain the three honored guests.

"Madam? But Madam Qing?" Concubine Yan asked.

"Yes, it is Mrs. Qing. The villain is a shopkeeper of the Bashi Chamber of Commerce. Yesterday, Mrs. Wang was able to escape without any danger. It is thanks to Master Wang. If there are three distinguished guests in the small shop, just take it. This is a bit of kindness from the Bashi Chamber of Commerce." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Yesterday's incident at the city gate has been widely publicized in Chengdu. The special envoy is Teacher Qin Wang, the world-famous Mr. Ziyou, who has a lot of opinions on the banditry in Shu County, and thinks it is the fault of Qu Yi, the governor of Shu County. When the news spread, it became a common topic of conversation after dinner. The same king of Qin, Master Wang personally came to award Mrs. Qing of their Bashi Chamber of Commerce. , It is tantamount to saying that the merchants of their Bashi Chamber of Commerce are different from other merchants.

They, the shopkeepers of the Bashi Chamber of Commerce, will feel superior to their peers in the future.

"Let me ask the shopkeeper, who are those three children?" Concubine Yan asked.

When Yan Lingji heard Concubine Yan's words, she glanced at the three children at the door out of the corner of her eye, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Although the three children looked the same, if you observe carefully, you will find that the two boys are very different. She has practiced martial arts and is a good player, especially the girl in the middle. Yan Lingji can feel that her inner strength is quite deep, which is not what an eleven or twelve-year-old girl should have.

"In addition to buying some things, my small shop also accepts some goods, such as furs of wild animals or medicinal materials. Every year on this day, someone will come to send me some furs and rare medicinal materials. These medicinal materials are from Shushan Mountain. Some are unique to the world, and some grow on cliffs, which are not available to ordinary people. We have become acquaintances after going back and forth.

In the past, adults brought children to find the way, and the three of them should have come here instead of adults.The children in the mountains have long been in charge of the family. It should be that the family has something to delay and let the three of them come over. "The shopkeeper said indifferently, this kind of thing has happened before, so he is not surprised.

"Go and do your work first." Concubine Yan said.

The shopkeeper bowed to Concubine Yan and walked towards the three children. Concubine Yan and Yan Lingji glanced at each other, and Shao Siming nodded at the two of them. Leaving the small shop with his head, and returning directly to the post house, Ziyou put down the book in his hand, looked at the three people who came back empty-handed and asked

"Aren't you going to buy something?"

"We found people from Shushan in the store of the Bashi Chamber of Commerce." Concubine Yan said.

"Oh? Tell me carefully." Ziyou said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yan Lingji told about the three children she met in the shop just now.

"People who can pick medicinal materials on the cliffs of Shu Mountain and practice martial arts have deep internal strength. If they are not Yu Yuan's guards, it would be unreasonable." Ziyou rubbed his chin and said, "Moya!"

"Sir." Mo Ya appeared in the courtyard in an instant.

"Take five guards and follow these three children secretly. Be careful not to be discovered. If my guess is correct, there should be adults following these three children, and follow them to figure out the way to Mount Shu." Ziyou Said.

"No!" Mo Crow said.

Mo Ya went to another courtyard and left the post house with five guards. As soon as Mo Ya led the people out, he saw Sima Chang walking with a middle-aged man.

"Mo is in charge." Sima Chang saluted Mo Ya. Although Mo Ya was not an official of the Qin State, he was Ziyou's coachman, a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone Mo Ya's personal coachman.

"Lord Sima, what is this?" Mo Ya looked at Sima Su and asked.

"This is my father. I will bring my father to meet your lord." Sima Chang said.

Sima Su cupped his hands at Mo Ya.

"Patriarch Sima, Master Sima, sir is reading in the yard, I need to go out for a while, please do it." Mo Ya returned the courtesy.

"Then don't bother Guan Mo," Sima Chang said.

Mo Ya led the people away from the station, Sima Su looked at Mo Ya's leaving back and said

"It seems that Master Wang is already preparing to attack Shu County, so it's not who is the first."

"I hope it won't be our Sima family," Sima Chang said.

Sima Chang brought Sima Su to the courtyard, and after seeing Ziyou, he saluted and said

"My lord, this is my father."

"Sima Su pays homage to Master Wang." Sima Su saluted.

"Patriarch Sima is welcome, please sit down," Ziyou said.

After Sima Su and Sima Chang took their seats, Ziyou put down the bamboo slips and said to Sima Su

"I like the bamboo slips that Patriarch Sima gave me very much. The things inside are exactly what I need. Thank you, Patriarch Sima."

"This is what I should do, as long as it is useful to Mr. Wang. There is no other meaning in coming here this time, just to thank you for allowing my dog ​​to go home and visit. To be honest, my wife misses him every day. " Sima Su said.

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of convenience. What does Patriarch Sima think about the Chamber of Commerce meeting tomorrow?" Ziyou asked while looking at Sima Su.

Sima Su and Sima Chang's hearts sank, they knew the opportunity had come.

"Although the Sima family has not established a chamber of commerce, they also have a caravan. They have been hanging under the banner of the Bashi Chamber of Commerce and trade with them, so they also know about the alliance of the chamber of commerce. The two counties of Bashu are rich in products, but the caravan There are many, in order to prevent internal friction, Mrs. Qing led the establishment of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce Alliance with the large and small chambers of commerce in the two counties of Bashu. One is to use the alliance of chambers of commerce to let everyone do business, and the other is to re-divide Shu County. Business roads, materials, etc., to prevent disorderly competition.

Generally speaking, this is a good thing. After the alliance of the chamber of commerce, the large chamber of commerce has lost unnecessary competition, and the small chamber of commerce also has hope of survival. It was a good thing before, but the resurgence of business banditry over the years , causing some caravans to suffer a lot. Although there is generally no problem, but in the long run, the caravans of Shu County may never dare to go out again. " Sima Su said with a sigh.

Ziyou glanced at Sima Su, feeling a little appreciative in his heart, he was worthy of being the head of the family, he was asking about the chamber of commerce, and Sima Su forced him to take him to the bandits.

"I have already told the governor of Quyi about the banditry. This is a matter that has endangered the people of Shu County for many years. If the banditry is not eliminated, the people of Shu County will never have peace. What does Patriarch Sima think about the banditry?" You said with a smile.

Hearing Ziyou's question, Sima Su didn't know how to answer for a while.Seeing Sima Su's hesitant and unpredictable face, Ziyou spread out the bamboo slips in his hands. On it was the last record about the Shu royal family. King Qin Zhaoxiang sent Sima Cuo to Zhu Houhui of Shu, and named his son Wan the Marquis of Shu.Shu people buried Shu Hou Hui outside Guo.King Zhaoxiang of Qin heard that Hou Hui of Shu had died innocently and unjustly, so he invited the funeral to be buried in Guo Nei.The Shu people built a shrine for Shu Houhui.King Zhaoxiang of Qin suspected that the Marquis of Shu was rebelling against him, so he punished him, the Kingdom of Shu was eliminated, and Shu County was established.

Sima Su's expression stabilized after seeing the bamboo slips, and he cupped his hands at Ziyou and said
"My lord, the banditry in Shu County is not outside, but inside, I can affirm that there are absolutely accomplices in the Shushan rebellion in Chengdu."

"How do you know?" Ziyou looked at Sima Su and asked curiously.

"The three rebellions in the land of Shu were quelled by the ancestor Sima's wrong troops. The last time the ancestors entered the palace of the king of Shu and killed most of the royal family, but there was one person missing, the son of the king of Shu. The ancestors sent people to look around, and finally found The son of the king of Shu was sent to Mount Shu by his confidantes with a part of the royal family of Shu, and only then did the army besiege Mount Shu.

Shushan faced the siege of the army, even with the protection of the Shushan Mountain Protection Array, it was only a matter of time before it was breached, so people were sent to seek peace with the ancestors.There have been many rebellions in Shu, and King Zhaoxiang has ordered that it must be resolved thoroughly, and the root of the rebellion lies in the Shu royal family, so the request made by the ancestors is to hand over the Shu royal family, otherwise there will be no grass in Shushan.

Shushan Yuyuan has a deep relationship with the Shu royal family, and he is unwilling to hand over the prince of Shu, hoping to keep him to sacrifice blood for the Shu royal family. Zhang Yi brought Qin Wangling to Shu County and took over the negotiation from his ancestors.

For some unknown reason, Zhang Zi signed a covenant with the great elder of Shushan Yuyuan. There are bandits in Shushan.

There are two kinds of people in Shushan banditry. At the beginning, Shushan banditry refers to Yuyuan in Shushan. Yuyuan in Shushan lived on the top of Shushan. It is dedicated to Yuyuan of Shushan Mountain, because Yuyuan of Shushan Mountain robbed the road of Shu due to the reasons of life and the royal family of Shu, they just intercepted the food of the army.

Later, the army besieged Shu Mountain again and killed hundreds of Yu Yuan's guards pretending to be bandits. Under Zhang Zi's suggestion, the ancestors gave Yu Yuan seeds, farming tools and techniques, which made the banditry disappear.

The subsequent banditry is the banditry after the Shu royal family was destroyed. Most of these bandits are the people of Shu. Because the king of Shu swore that some people regarded themselves as Shu people and refused to return to Qin. They fled to Shu Mountain one after another.

Afterwards, the ancestors contacted Yu Yuan's guards by relying on the contact information left by Zhang Zi, and wiped out most of the bandits.Later, relying on the governance of the three generations of ancestors, Zhang Ruo, and Li Taishou, Shu County was completely stabilized, and the banditry in Shushan gradually subsided, but for some reason, banditry has become rampant again in recent years.

The siege of the army was to no avail. Everyone who knew the movement of the army knew that there was a traitor in Shu County, but this traitor had been investigated by successive county guards, but it was all to no avail, and there was no evidence at all. " Sima Su said.

"I didn't expect there to be such a history. The person who can inform the movement of the bandit army in time is either the county guard or the army." Ziyou looked at Sima Su and said, the army has always been controlled by the Sima family, and the county guard It was appointed by the King of Qin, his loyalty is beyond doubt, and he is not a native of Shu County, so the suspicion is very small.

"My lord, why do you want to humiliate our Sima family!? My Sima family is from the authentic old Qin family. Our ancestors followed King Huiwen and King Zhaoxiang to conquer the north and south, destroy Bashu, quell the rebellion, and attack Chu. My father followed Wu'an Lord Bai Qi, After going through 72 battles, big and small, I don’t know how much blood was shed for Qin, no matter how much our Sima family declines, it is impossible to become the same as the bandits.” Sima Su immediately stood up and said angrily.

"The head of the Sima family is worrying too much. I don't mean to doubt the Sima family. The loyalty of the Sima family to Qin is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth. No one dares to doubt it. I am talking about other people. There are not only Sima in the county guard and the army. family members, and others." Ziyou got up and saluted.

Seeing his father's sudden anger, Sima Chang was already stunned. Seeing that Ziyou admitted his mistake, he quickly signaled Sima Su with his eyes, and he would accept it as soon as he saw it.

"Forgive me, my lord. I have offended you. The Sima family is today because of the gift of the King of Qin. Because of the matter of the late father, the Sima family has been far away from the court of the Qin State. Lord Wu An died together, this is my late father's choice." Sima Su said with a sigh.

"Oh? Didn't King Zhaoxiang bestow death on Lord Wu An and your father back then?" Ziyou asked curiously. Although the death of Lord Wu An was full of mysteries, the death of Deputy General Sima Jin was very clear. was given to death by jealousy.

"This is just an outsider's opinion. At the time when Lord Wu An and his late father killed 40 soldiers of the Zhao army, they were already filled with resentment and hated by the people of the world. There were countless people in the Jianghu who wanted to assassinate Lord Wu An and his late father. Even family members were implicated.

Later, Fan Sui attracted King Zhaoxiang's suspicion of Lord Wu'an's rebellion. In order to get rid of Lord Wu'an, the six countries also spread the news of Lord Wu'an's rebellion. King Shangzhaoxiang wanted to take back his military power, so he was ordered to die.

In the letter sent by my late father, it was clearly stated that when he and Lord Wu An entered Qin Palace together, Lord Wu An inhaled the secret medicine, and his whole body power was suppressed and passed out. On the way to post, there was also a decree from King Zhaoxiang in the car, which read: Lord Wu'an Bai Qi and his deputy Sima Jin were given to die in Du You.

Later, on the way back to Duyou, as rumored by people in the Jianghu, the sixth elders of the farm family used the 24 large formations of the farm house Dize to besiege and kill Lord Wu An, but are they worthy?A group of people from all walks of life, Mr. Wu An shot and killed five people. In the end, in order to completely silence the people of the world and exchange for stability for the Bai family and the Sima family, Mr. Wu An suspended his death again, and his late father followed suit.

Later, Mr. Wu An and his late father returned to Du You, and wrote this letter to explain the cause and effect. Later, my eldest brother and I went to Du You to visit Mr. Wu An and his late father.Two years after we came back, I don’t know why Mr. Wu An and his late father committed suicide. The letter sent back was only one sentence, full of resentment, 40 resentful spirits, and now we use our lives to comfort the resentful spirits. " Sima Su said with a sigh.

"I see. I really didn't expect there to be such a secret. Back to the topic, who do you think the traitor in the city might be?" Ziyou asked.

　I was in the hospital all day today. After the examination, he said it was a neurasthenia, told me to rest well, don’t be so stressed, etc., and prescribed some medicine for me.

　　Hey. It’s really raining all night, the update will be updated all the time, I will try my best every day, but this chapter is for today.

　　Ask for a monthly pass by the way! ! ! !
