Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 310 Yin Tong’s anger! (Please subscribe)

Huiji County.

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

restless mood.

He had trouble sleeping and eating for a period of time, especially when he thought about what happened in the counties near Yunmengze, it made him feel like a thorn in his back. He had some understanding of the situation near Yunmengze.

There is also a gathering place for the nobles of the six countries.

However, compared to the land of Wu and Yue, Yunmeng actually had more bandits and dead people. The number of nobles from the six countries was not large overall. Even so, under the vigorous investigation of the First Emperor, nearly a hundred officials were imprisoned. .

At present, officials in nearby counties and counties are panicking.

He was equally uneasy.

He also has a close relationship with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and has kept in touch with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in private. He even intentionally let go of Xiang Liang and other important criminals wanted by the court. If the court really investigates carefully, they will probably find him. , he might really be in danger by then.

At this time.

He called in a clerk.

He asked carefully about what he had ordered a few days ago.

Yin Tongtong: "Let me ask you, how did you do what I asked you to do a few days ago? Have all the things that need to be dealt with been dealt with? All the nobles from the six countries, including the Xiang family and the Song family, can move out. , and have all the things that might cause trouble been cleared out?"

This petty official was Yin Tong's confidant.

He has been with him since he first became an official, and he trusts this person very much.

The junior official looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Back to the senior official, all my subordinates have done what the senior official has ordered."

"only."

Yin Tong frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked, "Just what?"

"If there's anything going on, just tell me."

The clerk smiled bitterly, with a look of embarrassment in his eyes, and said helplessly: "The nobles of the six countries near Kuaiji County don't seem to have many thoughts of moving away. They said that the mountains in Wuyue are high and the water is deep, so the Qin army dare not search at will, and they are operating here. For a long time, I thought I was sticking to Jintang, and no matter how many times the Qin army was, it would be difficult to detect their whereabouts."

"They don't want to evacuate."

"Absurd!" Yin Tong raised his arms and yelled angrily: "That shit is impregnable. If I, Yin Tong, hadn't helped, how could their whereabouts have gone unnoticed? It wasn't just a few people, but hundreds or even thousands of people. Even if there were hundreds of them, Dogs, placed deep in the mountains, are eye-catching enough.”

"That's really what they said?"

Yin Tong still didn't believe it.

He has a close relationship with the Xiang family and other nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

I really can’t believe this is the reply from the nobles of the Six Nations.

The junior official smiled wryly and nodded: "How dare I deceive my subordinates and senior officials about this kind of thing for many years?"

"My subordinates have gone out of their way to persuade me several times in the past few days, but were stopped all the time. Xiang Liang's nephew, Xiang Yu, has made rude remarks many times, thinking that I am trying to sway people's hearts. If not for Xiang Bo's dissuasion, my subordinates would probably have to do it again. Got beaten severely."

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

"They are also very convincing."

"Some people thought of owning a large number of fields and houses in Kuaiji and were unwilling to give them up easily. Some said that the Qin army was just showing off and there was nothing they could do to them. The officials were frightening themselves and talked about their losses directly. They thought Let the government compensate you."

heard.

Yin Tong's face turned dark.

He was also completely angry, slammed the case and shouted angrily: "This is really unreasonable. Do they really think that it is me, Yin Tong, who is begging them to leave? I asked them to leave for their own good. They seem to have forgotten who has been here all these years. Help them secretly, if it weren't for my generous help, how could they, the remnants of the Six Nations, live so comfortably and nourished?"

"Okay."

"It seems they have completely forgotten now!"

The clerk said: "My subordinates also persuaded me in this way."

"only."

"Then Song Yi said that the Qin army was not targeting them this time, so they did not plan to change easily, and there was no time. The First Emperor's patrol was not far away. Once there was a big move, people would definitely discover it. Sometimes something happens, and besides, they use the excuse that they have hundreds or even thousands of people to move all at once, but they really don’t have the ability, so they just don’t want to move.”

"In addition, Song Yi also said"

The junior official raised his head and glanced at Yin Tong, who had a dark face. He hesitated whether he should say these words, but after pondering for a while, he decided to tell them all. He continued: "If the senior officials are in trouble, they can tell them When asked for help, they are willing to sacrifice their lives to help, and they are also willing to conspire with the officials to achieve great things."

After hearing the last sentence, Yin Tong couldn't hold himself any longer and cursed angrily:
"I knew that these nobles from the Six Kingdoms were just a bunch of unfamiliar wolves. It was in vain that I respected them so much. As a result, they clearly didn't take me, Yin Tong, seriously. They really thought that they were still superior to the Chu Kingdom. noble?"

Yin Tong was also completely angry.

How could he not know what the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were thinking?

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' participation in Chu to help them manage Kuaiji County, while the Chu nobles used him to avoid government investigation. In fact, neither party fully trusted the other, and they had always used him. relation.

But both sides have their own bottom lines.

However, this time the First Emperor went south with his army, and all the county and county officials were from the old Qin.

What did they use to oppose Qin?
In the end, most of them will end up like the Xiang family and the Song family. They are wanted by the court and hide in Tibet. And is this what Yin Tong wants to see?
As for what Song Yi said about not having enough time.

Complete nonsense.

When the First Emperor took action against Yunmeng, he had already secretly ordered the Xiang and Song families to move. Did they really listen?These people just made up their minds and didn’t want to leave.

Those are all excuses.

even.

These nobles of the six countries also regarded the First Emperor's attack as an opportunity to strengthen their own power.

Trying to completely pull the originally wavering officials over.

After all, as long as the First Emperor is in Kuaiji County, officials like him will be on tenterhooks. Or as long as these nobles from the six countries make some noise behind their backs and make the First Emperor dissatisfied, they will probably be found out in the end. They had no choice but to seek refuge with the nobles of the six countries if they did not want to be punished by the court.

And under their protection, you might 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. When the situation in the world really changes, how much value he still has is another matter. .

What's more, it's unclear whether the nobles of the six countries can protect themselves.

He had no confidence in the strength of the nobles of the Six Nations. If the nobles of the Six Nations were unwilling to protect him, wouldn't he have no choice but to wait for death?

And once it can't be saved.

Not only will he lose his position as the governor of Kuaiji County, but he will also be wanted by the court. From a high-ranking official, he will suddenly become a court criminal. In the future, he will have no choice but to hide in Tibet and rely entirely on the Xiang family and other wealthy families. The gap is too big. This is Yin. Tong absolutely cannot accept it.

Yin Tong's eyes wandered, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "You should immediately send someone to inform these nobles and tell them what their plans are. I know it very well, but I also tell them not to push me too hard. If they reveal their flaws, I will As a result, I will be investigated by the imperial court, and I, Yin Tong, cannot guarantee that I will not confess them when the time comes."

"I, Yin Tong, do what I say!"

The clerk's mind was trembling, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "My subordinates will go and send the message right now."

"Go down." Yin Tong waved his hand, his eyes a little tired, and finally added: "If they don't want to leave, then they will stay in Kuaiji. However, during the period when the First Emperor is patrolling, nothing can go wrong. , otherwise, I, Yin Tong, will show no mercy."

Wait for the clerk 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 lot of fun chatting with Xiang Liang and other nobles from the six countries, and they treated each other like brothers. However, when the critical moment came, these people only wanted to plot against him behind his back, and did not care about his life or death at all.

Yin Tong cursed angrily: "Xiang Liang, I, Yin Tong, think I treat you well, why are you not even willing to aggrieve yourselves when it concerns my life and death?"

"Do you really think that I, Yin Tong, am weak and can be bullied?"

"The clay figurine still has a third of fire."

"Don't you just rely on me to be intimate with you and don't dare to expose you? But if I, Yin Tong, really come to a dead end, I, Yin Tong, am not afraid of dragging you all down."

"If we die, let's all die together!!!"

Yin Tong also lost his temper completely.

Since the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are unkind, there is no need to blame him for being unjust.

But subconsciously, Yin Tong was still a little hesitant, because according to Qin law, he colluded with the remnants of the restoration, and his crime was worthy of death. However, if he really took refuge with the nobles of the six countries, there would be no way to survive, but he really couldn't lower his head.

And this is also where the nobles of the Six Nations plot their plans.

Just make sure they are afraid of death.

Three poles in the sun.

Yin Tong had no intention of dealing with political affairs.

He had dispatched all the officials close to him to secretly follow the movements of the First Emperor. At the same time, he investigated the whereabouts of officials from the Tingwei Mansion and the Yushi Mansion among the accompanying officials to ensure that he could grasp effective information as soon as possible.

It was at this time.

The county magistrate Li Mo arrived at his official residence.

Seeing Li Mo's arrival, Yin Tong frowned slightly, a little confused as to Li Mo's purpose.

Li Mo did not speak, but directly closed the doors and windows, and then said solemnly: "Chief, something happened. I just found out that the court actually sent people to our county to investigate the situation a month ago. , I’m afraid a lot of things have been investigated this month.”

heard.

Yin Tong was slightly shocked, but his expression remained calm and he said calmly: "Jun Cheng, why did you say this? Where did you get the news?"

Li Mo sighed and said: "To be honest, there is an official in the Yushi Mansion who was a good friend of mine when I was young. He is currently on tour with His Majesty. He also sent me a private message. Moreover, the matter investigated by the imperial court is in the local area." Officials colluding with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

After hearing Li Mo's words, Yin Tong's expression changed suddenly.

He concentrated and said: "Are you serious about what you say?"

"It's about my life and fortune, how dare I tell lies?" Li Mo said anxiously.

Yin Tong looked suspicious.

Why would Li Mo come to him for such an important matter?

He didn't have a close relationship with Li Mo.

Moreover, the county governor and the county magistrate have always been fighting for power privately.

The same goes for both of them.

It's just that they are friendly on the surface, but they often target each other in private.

see.

Li Mo got straight to the point and said: "You are from Kuaiji County, Sheriff, and I, Li Mo, am from Wei. However, after the fall of Wei, I switched to the State of Chu. After the fall of Chu, I directly became a Qin official. But the situation in Kuaiji County, Sheriff I know it, and I, Li Mo, also know it."

"Almost all officials in counties, big and small, have connections with the nobles of the six countries."

"If the court really pursues the case, most people in Kuaiji County will not be able to withstand the investigation, and we and other county officials will probably be massacred. Also, does the county guard know who the official who was ordered to investigate this time is?"

"Who?" Yin Tong asked.

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

"Tao She?" Yin Tong's expression changed slightly when he heard the name.

He certainly knew about Yin Tong, who was one of the censors brought by the First Emperor on this tour.

This person's real reputation actually came from the battle to destroy Chu. In the battle to destroy Chu, this person made considerable military exploits, and was later promoted to a bronze official under the Shaofu. Not long ago, he was promoted to censor.

Because of this.

Yin Tong couldn't help but be surprised.

Because Tao She had a blood feud with the nobles of Chu.

Others might turn a blind eye, but Tao She would not. He knew very clearly what he relied on to be promoted to this position, and he also knew very clearly that once the remnants of the Six Nations became bigger, What kind of liquidation will he face? Therefore, when clearing out the nobles, this person will definitely contribute incomparably.

This person is also the censor.

If it really fell into the hands of this person, he would probably die.

Yin Tong immediately understood why Li Mo came to find him.

He is also afraid of death.

Once Tao She really finds out something, none of them will be able to escape. This man will really kill them.

Yin Tong's face darkened.

He also felt that something was not good. The First Emperor was clearly trying to kill them all and push them to death, and they really didn't have much power to resist now.

They do have considerable local strength.

But he has no military power.

The military power of Kuaiji County is in the hands of the county captain.

Although the county captains usually have vague attitudes and get along well with each other, and even turn a blind eye many times, but that is normal time. If it is really the First Emperor's order, this person will probably obey it. In this way, they With the tens of thousands of troops accompanying the First Emperor, there was no way to resist. Could it be that they really had no choice but to defect to the nobles of the six countries?

Yin Tong's eyes flickered.

He was already a little undecided.

If he really chooses to rebel against Qin, the First Emperor will definitely be furious. It is hard to say what impulsive actions the First Emperor will make. He is really unsure whether the nobles of the six countries will continue to protect themselves. .

And this time Xiang Liang and others no longer care about his life or death. When he no longer has this official position, they are afraid that they will be even more unscrupulous, and he has no room for struggle at all and can only laugh at it.

Think of this.

Yin Tong's face was very ugly.

immediately.

He seemed to have thought of something, turned his gaze to Li Mo, and said sadly: "Jun Cheng, you came to me today, maybe you didn't come to scare me deliberately at this time, even if you are familiar with the official under the Yu Shi's rule, , but how could this person take such a big risk for you?"

"Go ahead."

"What's your solution?"
