my grandfather was qin shi huang

Zhao Ying is nine feet six inches tall, just over two meters tall. He has been on the battlefield and has been in a high position for a long time. Standing in front of people already feels a strong sense of oppression. What's more, at this time, he is saying that people will be flattened, but he has a lot of trouble. The head is a pile of sins.

Wood and Song Wu were sweating from their foreheads in the middle of winter.

"Please give me your instructions..."

"You should know better than anyone else that neither the silk book in the belly of the fish nor the inscriptions in the foundation could have come out of thin air. Someone must have done it in advance..."

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

"In the name of the Governor of Jiangnan, I give you three days to find the person who is behind the scenes! You want to see who he is, who dares to hide in the dark to make trouble and spread rumors!"

Wood and Song Wu took over the task bravely. As soon as they returned to their study, Song Wu, who was a bit grumpy, couldn't help but jump to his feet and curse.

"Within three days, if he had the ability, why didn't he just chop off our heads! Those dogs are hiding like mice. Where can we find them? Within three days, even within three months. , and you may not be able to find it..."

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

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

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

"Brother Wu, what's your clever plan——"

Wood looked at the big unshaven head that suddenly stretched out in front of him, and calmly tilted his head back slightly, avoiding Song Wu's thick tone, and said calmly.

"Brother Song, don't you think the inscription just now is a bit strange..."

Song Wu was stunned.

"What's weird? You mean digging it out of the ground?"

Wood shook his head slightly.

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

"Specific, what specific?"

Song Wu was confused.

Wood clasped his hands behind his back and subconsciously took a few steps back and forth before adding quietly.

"Brother Song, in three days, it will be the twelfth 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 changed the topic pointedly.

"Brother Song, I've been working hard on you these past few days. Check carefully in the past few months, especially in the recent period, whether there are any strange faces in the southern suburbs, especially near Old Man Wei's house..."

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

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

Wood looked at Song Wu calmly.

"Brother Song, how much intelligence do you and I still have? Over the years, we have gained the trust of His Majesty and have been in charge of Changsha. We have been diligent and diligent in our work. Although the wealthy families in Chu are arrogant, they dare not be too rude to you and my brothers. Have you ever been as embarrassed as you have been recently?"

"I've been really unlucky lately!"

When this was mentioned, Song Wu felt a little aggrieved. He cursed and sat down, picked up the herbal tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Wood walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his hands, and said calmly.

"As ministers, we naturally have to do well in the tasks assigned by His Royal Highness the Emperor, but we must also do our own things well. Otherwise, we will look like you and I are too useless..."

Having said this, Wood turned around and looked at Song Wu who was thoughtful.

"Your Majesty is capable of appointing virtuous people, and His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson also has a reputation as a courteous and virtuous corporal. This inscription may not be an opportunity to show His Highness our abilities..."

Although Song Wu was a military general, he was able to serve as a lieutenant of a local county, especially in the Chu region, which had the strongest resistance to the Qin Dynasty, and was safe and sound. Naturally, he was not a fool, and he naturally understood what Wood was implying.

It’s okay to take the blame, but you can’t treat us like fools.

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

Seeing Song Wu hurrying away with his men, Wood walked back to his cases.

Think about how to deal with this matter.

Although he asked Song Wu to investigate, his intention was not only to tacitly name the emperor's eldest grandson, but also to make his attitude clear to the outside world. Otherwise, if such a big thing happened, the county governor's office wouldn't even investigate. Just start arresting people, and even fools will know that there is a problem.

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

Even if this matter really exceeded his expectations, and it really wasn't the handiwork of the person he guessed, and he really found the real person who did it within three days, he was not prepared to do it so quickly. Publish the answer.

In three days, it will be the twelfth lunar month.

That rumor is so outrageous that the best time to reveal the truth is when it is unfounded.

After Song Wu left, he led people to carry out a careful investigation door to door on the same day to find out where Old Man Wei was.

In this era, people's mobility is very poor.Most people have relocated and may never leave their county or even their town in their entire lives.It is not that difficult to check for unfamiliar faces.

Of course, Old Han Wei's house is located in the southern suburbs of Changsha County, where the flow of people is relatively dense, and there are relatively more new faces than in ordinary villages.But it was not much. Soon, based on the villagers' descriptions, dozens of unfamiliar faces that had appeared near Old Han Wei's house recently were identified.

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

Of course, this is only something that the villagers have seen before. It may not have entered the village at night, or it may have been something else that slipped through the net.

Of these seven people, the information of three of them was soon confirmed. They were all merchants from the city who came to the village to sell daily necessities. They were innocent. As for the investigation of the other three, it began to reach a deadlock.

After all, strangers will only check their personal identity information in accordance with court regulations when they stay in the village. If they are just passing by, who will check this?

Moreover, unlike later generations, this era does not have eyes that can be seen everywhere.

If you pass by, you really have passed by...

Song Wu was a little unwilling to give in. When he was about to retrieve the past information about the new faces that appeared in the city at this time point, he suddenly felt overwhelmed and had no time and energy.Because, similar predictions suddenly appeared all over the sky without any warning!

Under the rule of Changsha County, the territory of the nine counties of Xiang, Luo, Yiyang, Yinshan, Lingling, Hengshan, Song, and Guiyang was blooming everywhere. Either this one found a silk book in the belly of a fish, or that one dug out another inscription while digging the ground. .

But the content is even more varied.

Some are similar to the contents of the silk book in the belly of the fish, and some are similar to the inscriptions of the Han family of Wei, which predict that the First Emperor will die in the twelfth lunar month. An even more exaggerated inscription says that in the twelfth lunar month of this year, there will be ten stars in a row, and the sky will collapse. Fall into chaos.

Of course, there are also more alternative ones.

For example, many people at the foot of Mount Hengshan said with certainty that they heard a fox howling all night long on the hillside outside the village more than once in the middle of the night, shouting at the village: The great Chu is destroyed, the great Qin is reborn——

In short, it was very lively.

Can you still play like this?
As if we don’t exist!

Wood and Song Wu were going crazy.

But it's no use being crazy. After all, such a big thing happened in the local area. As the two highest local officials, how could they not go and take a look for themselves?
Therefore, in the next time, the two of them can only act separately, either to investigate the "prophecy" or on the way to investigate the "prophecy". People in nine counties are almost going crazy...

In the speeding carriage, Wood, who had been jolting for a whole day, had dull eyes and a look of despair on his face.

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

Wood and Song Wu were numb, but the county magistrates under their rule were even more numb.

There is such a problem under my rule that may cause the whole family to lose their heads. It is difficult not to think about it. All the officials in the county government almost go crazy. All the officials of the Yamen were dispatched en masse, from the county seat to the village, like combing a comb, to investigate all suspicious persons.

No clues were found about the prophecy, but a strange combination of circumstances caused a major purge in the entire Changsha County.

Bandits and thieves everywhere were almost wiped out.

The county captains in these counties became ruthless. In the past, once these people broke into pieces and hid among the people, or fled to the borders of the next county, they would withdraw their troops and not bother to fight with these people.

Not now, not to mention running to the next county, even if you hide in a mouse hole and dig three feet in the ground, you still have to dig the person out.

Needless to say, in just two days, the social atmosphere of the entire Changsha County was completely calm, and the public security situation was unprecedentedly good, almost reaching the legendary state of not closing the door at night and not picking up lost items.

When Zhao Ying heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Unexpectedly, there is such an unexpected gain.

Of course, Changsha County has such a big problem.

It was almost a naked provocation to His Highness the Emperor Sun, who was the governor of Jiangnan and came specifically to investigate the case of the silk book in the belly of the fish.After he got the news, he flew into a rage and smashed an elm table that was more than a foot thick with a slap in front of everyone.

"It's unreasonable, it's so arrogant, it's really too arrogant!"

His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson was so angry that his face turned red, he pressed the sword on his waist and said angrily.

"Check it for me! Once found, no matter who it is, the property will be confiscated and the three clans will be implicated!"

The majesty of His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun was offended because of the humiliation of the king and the death of the minister. The three thousand imperial guards under his command felt the same, as if they had suffered a great humiliation. They jumped to their feet and cursed, swearing and vowing to smash the thieves to pieces.

As if they had been given blood, they stared at each other, guarded the four gates, blocked the main roads, and launched an extremely rigorous investigation of the entire Changsha County, allowing some business travelers from other places who were stranded in Changsha County for some reason to One secretly complained.

But at this time, who dares to complain?
I can only admit that I am unlucky and pray that this kind of thing will never involve me.

……

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

One letter was written by Zhao Qi. When he went out this time, Zhao Ying directly handed over the affairs of the house to his younger brother. After all, there were no big things in the house now, and there were officials he had left in the house. With the assistance and the supervision of his eldest father, even if something does go wrong, it won't be a big mistake.

It's just a good opportunity to use this opportunity to exercise the talents of my own younger brother.

In this letter, Zhao Qi introduced in detail some affairs in the government and the results of his handling. What made Zhao Ying more satisfied was that although it was a bit naive in some places, overall, it was quite satisfactory and not in vain. Some training of your own.

Look at this posture. After practicing for a while, you can let it go and let him try to do something practical.

But the few things mentioned at the end of the letter made him frown slightly.

One is the marriage between Xiang Yu and Zhao Wan.

With Empress Zheng's intervention, the two were about to get married. Zhao Ying estimated the time. By the time he read this letter, the two of them should have already completed their wedding.

Regarding this matter, Zhao Qi said in a rather happy tone. In his opinion, Zhao Wan was his cousin who was closer to him, and Xiang Yu was his eldest brother's most capable person, and this marriage , or his eldest brother is the matchmaker himself.

It's a rare happy event.

The progress of this matter was slightly beyond Zhao Ying's expectation, but Zhao Ying immediately put the matter aside. Since he had made this decision to become a matchmaker, there was no reason to keep delaying it. .

Even if I was in Xianyang, there was no reason to continue delaying this matter.

The second thing was that he mentioned a name that he had almost forgotten.

The former leader of the Kushan tribe, Xihou Qiujiuque, recently attended a banquet hosted by courtiers. In front of everyone, he took the Marquis of Guicheng, King Donghu and Maodun to dance together for his great father. The dance on the grassland made my eldest father, Long Yan, so happy that he was awarded the title of Fifth Doctor.

Moreover, the former leader of the Kushan tribe, Xihou Qiujiu, was given the grace to return to his hometown in Hexi to worship his ancestors.

When talking about this, Zhao Qi wrote it with the attitude of telling interesting things, but when it fell into Zhao Ying's eyes, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Because, he suddenly remembered the achievements of this Jihou Qiujiu in later history.

That was a legendary figure who left a mark in the history of Asan.When the Yuezhi were defeated by the Xiongnu, the Kushan tribe led their troops to the west, crossed the Tarim Desert, climbed over the Alai Mountains, and entered the Indus River Basin, conquering a huge territory.

This time, could it be...

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

But this time, after pondering for a long time, he decided to let the matter go gently.

If that Xihou Qiuque can seize the opportunity this time and repeat his original historical achievements, it may not be a bad thing.

At the end of the letter, it seemed that I suddenly remembered it at the end of the letter and made a casual mention in an understatement. (End of chapter)
