Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 409 The undercurrent is surging and the wind is trembling! (Happy New Year)

Shanfu County.

The spacious county government office was completely silent at the moment.

It's so oppressive that it feels suffocating.

a long time.

Wu Ma Shu slammed the bamboo slips on the case to the ground and shouted angrily: "Where is Zhang Liang?"

"What about people?"

"After such a big incident, just let him run away?"

"What do you usually do for food?"

"Now that things have been done, the imperial court really sent people down, but they were not sent by officials from Dang County, but Meng Yi. This time they even brought thousands of soldiers. If the imperial court really investigates strictly, , with what we have done, can we really fool ourselves?"

"It's at this juncture."

"Tell me, Zhang Liangren is missing?"

Wu Ma Shu glared angrily.

He was about to explode with anger.

Originally hearing that it was Fan Mu who sent him, he felt a little relieved. After all, he was the censor of Dang County. Although he had not interacted with him before, as a local official, he still had some influence. He also thought that he would lobby with other county officials. Not necessarily unconvincing.

But they never thought that Fan Mu was not the only person in Qin Ting's faction.

There is also Meng Yi.

Who is Meng Yi?

Emperor of Qin Dynasty General Meng Tian.

Meng Tian is the military god of the Qin Dynasty, a military pillar-like existence.

Is this something they can provoke?

How can they bribe and lobby?

Once Meng Yi really gets serious, all the things they did in private will be exposed.

Due to the harshness of Qin's laws, they will undoubtedly die.

After hearing the news, he immediately had a premonition that something was not going to happen, but the idea came from Zhang Liang. With Zhang Liang's reputation, there might not be anything he could do about it. But his subordinates told him that Zhang Liang had run away?

How could this make him not angry?

How not to feel afraid and uneasy?

Silence everywhere.

a long time.

The county magistrate said solemnly: "County magistrate, the matter has come to this, there is no point in continuing to complain. Seeing that Zhang Liang is acting so carefully, he may not have any good intentions."

"The top priority is to deal with Qin Ting."

"In the opinion of the county magistrate, what should we do now?" Wu Ma Shu had a gloomy look on his face.

The county magistrate did not speak, his eyes were uncertain, he shook his head and said helplessly: "At the moment, we have no good solution at all, Qin Ting is simply not something we can resist."

"Now other officials, big and small, in the county are watching our good show. If we can cope with it, these people may do the same. If we can't cope with it, they may just laugh at us and suffer the consequences."

Wu Ma Shu's face was ashen.

How could he not know the truth?

But precisely because he was helpless, he was so helpless and furious.

They did disdain Qin Law at home, and they didn't bother to understand Qin Law at all. But if Qin Ting really sent people down, their hearts would always tremble, and once they really found evidence of Qin Ting's crime, they might not be able to do anything about it at all. No one will protect them.

Wu Mashu gritted his teeth and said: "This won't work, that won't work either. You can't just wait to die, right?"

The county magistrate showed a wry smile.

What's the difference between them now and waiting to die?

Unless you just run away.

But the world is so big, where can they escape to?

How many people will take them in?

What's more, this matter was done in the name of the nobles. It would be great if the nobles of the six countries did not add insult to injury and took them in.

This is simply fantastic.

immediately.

The county magistrate seemed to have thought of something, and there was a strange color in his eyes.

He hesitated: "Actually, we may not have no way out. What happened this time was indeed done by us and has nothing to do with the noble robbers. But what if we can really blame these things on Peng Yue and other robbers? Is it really possible? Is it true that they did it?”

"As long as there is 'conclusive evidence', what can Meng Yi do?"

The county magistrate's eyes flickered.

Hear the words.

Wu Ma Shu's eyes lit up.

This is indeed a hopeless solution.

But this is easier said than done?

He looked at the county magistrate and said in a solemn voice: "Has the county magistrate got an idea?"

The county magistrate stroked his beard and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he paced back and forth in the room. At this time, Wu Ma Shu was speechless. Other officials nearby also held their breath and concentrated for fear of disturbing the county magistrate Li Lin's thinking.

After a while.

The county magistrate Li Lin raised his head, with a cold look on his lips.

He said in a deep voice: "The people from the imperial court haven't arrived yet, so we still have room to struggle."

"Indeed."

"The imperial court's move this time was beyond our expectations."

"It also disrupted all our plans."

"but"

"As long as you make something 'real', then even if it's fake, it's still real."

The corners of Li Lin's eyes were slightly closed, shining brightly.

He continued: "Now that the salt and iron have been robbed by bandits, the only way for this to become true is to let the bandits admit it. Peng Yue and others obviously will not admit it, but the reason why we dare to take this idea is that Because some of Peng Yue's men are actually easy to bribe."

"As long as we bribe these people over and make them admit that they did it."

"Then there is room for struggle in this matter."

"of course."

"How can you convince people with empty words?"

"What's more, Qin Lu always pays attention to evidence. Without evidence, no matter how many 'false lies' it is, it can't be true."

“So the evidence must be ‘implemented’!”

"However, it is impossible for us to give away so much salt and iron, and we can't take it out at all, so we can only think of another way. The best way is to have someone pretend to be Peng Yue and transfer some large amounts of salt and iron to Secretly distributed to the families of those robbers, and the salt and iron must leave traces that they came from the 'stolen' salt and iron."

"On this kind of thing."

"Don't be stingy."

"No matter how important money is, it is not as important as life. The more we give, the greater the chance of escape."

"in addition."

"Hide some salt and iron where Peng Yue and others are hiding."

"And leave traces of the stolen 'salt and iron'."

"This amount of salt and iron cannot be less, in order to convince the court officials."

"But there are only one or two places where stolen goods can be hidden. No matter how many there are, we can't come up with that much salt and iron. As for the larger quantities, we will give them all to Peng Yue, but Peng Yue is very fond of these salt and iron. He didn't tell anyone except his confidants, and the robbers we captured only knew about some of the hidden places."

"The big head doesn't know."

"With this move, the matter has been confirmed."

"Although it will cost a lot of money and food, once the money and food are gone, it will be gone, as long as the people are there."

"The money and food will be back soon!"

Li Lin looked around sadly, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

Hear the words.

Everyone nodded slightly.

They were fine with it.

Although they have to spend a lot of money and food, which really makes their hearts bleed, as long as they can get rid of this incident and can continue to serve as local officials, they have many ways to get back the money and food they have spent.

They still have this little bit of confidence.

Wu Ma Shu hesitated for a moment and asked curiously: "The county magistrate's idea is excellent. In order to save our lives, we are willing to pay out of our own pockets. We are just afraid that Peng Yue and others will not cooperate, and these people will be bribed." 'The robber, can he really bite this off?"

He had some doubts in his heart.

Li Lin sneered and said coldly: "Everyone has a weakness."

"As long as you can understand its weaknesses."

"I'm not afraid that they won't be tough-talking, and I'm not afraid that they will talk too much."

"As for Peng Yue?"       “A mere robber, what do you have to fear?”

"Now that I have heard the news, I am afraid that he has escaped a long time ago, and he dare not not escape. As a robber, Qin Ting does not tolerate him, and he committed such a heinous crime. If he was caught by Qin Ting, how could he Listen to his explanation? And even if he makes a clear explanation, he will still die."

"As long as there is nothing wrong with Peng Yue's mind, he will definitely stay away."

"It will never show up."

"You can rest assured about this."

"These robbers are terrible to death."

"They won't do anything to risk death."

Li Lin looked confident.

Wu Ma Shu and others nodded, they did not deny this.

Everyone is afraid of death.

What about those robbers?

immediately.

Li Lin seemed to have thought of something, and there was a stern look in his eyes.

He said solemnly: "I almost overlooked one thing. Apart from us, other people who know about it should deal with it as much as possible. The more people who know, the more dangerous we are. If it doesn't work, remember to send it to other places." Go and avoid it, and never let anyone notice you at this time.”

“If the final problem lies with these people, then it’s really not worth the gain.”

Wu Ma Shu and others nodded.

This is indeed something to note.

There are actually many people who know about their incident this time, and they have also secretly told other counties. Now that the incident has occurred, these people will definitely seek to protect themselves. When the time comes to send the message, these people will not fail to listen.

Wu Ma Shu said: "I will deal with this matter."

"The more mouths you have, the more danger you have. I still understand this truth."

"What about Zhang Liang?"

"This man escaped so quickly."

"I'm afraid he may not have good intentions. If this person leaks the whole story, given Zhang Liang's status among the nobles, it will easily spread to everyone, and we may not be able to counterattack by then."

Li Lin nodded.

Zhang Liang is indeed a hidden danger.

However, there is no solution.

He sneered: "Remember what we said in the hotel?"

"One person is missing."

"The one missing is this Liang."

"It's just that later we thought that this would offend Zhang Liang and lead to Zhang Liang's revenge. Once such a smart person gets into a grudge, it will not be a good thing for us."

"Finally gave up."

"But now, since Zhang Liang has abandoned me and others, why should we be so polite?"

"Put everything directly on Zhang Liang's head."

"He framed everything."

"The intention is to put me to death and destroy the closeness between me and other local officials and Qin Ting, so as to realize his ulterior secret."

"We are officials."

"Zhang Liang is just a thief!"

"How can it be so easy to call a thief a thief?!"

Li Lin sneered.

He didn't take Zhang Liang to heart at all.

No matter how much Zhang Liang tried and advocated, he could not cover up the fact that he was a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, nor could he cover up the past attack and murder of the First Emperor. Compared with Zhang Liang's past "misdeeds", his accusations, the court How can you be gullible?

Hearing Li Lin's words, Wu Ma Shu and others smiled knowingly.

"The county magistrate is right."

"No matter how resourceful Zhang Liang is, we can't cover up the fact that he is a fugitive from the Qin Dynasty. We only need to encourage him a little. Even if we are really suspected by the court, the court will probably not believe the words of a remnant of the Six Kingdoms. Even this is He will prove our 'innocence'."

"After all, if we really collude with them, Zhang Liang and others won't be able to rescue them in time, so how can we add insult to injury?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"That being said, I quite hope that Zhang Liang can help me."

"Haha."

"."

The county government office was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The depression and lowness before was gone now.

Soon.

Everyone in the county government left.

They all have their own things to do.

They must rush to implement the things they have just planned before the officials sent by the court arrive, and they must do it as quickly as possible, and as carefully and thoroughly as possible.

There is absolutely no room for error.

Following the two decrees issued by Qin Ting.

There is an undercurrent surging up and down Dang County, and all forces are gathering momentum.

And Meng Yi, who finally caused the matter to become a big deal, is now standing on the bow of the ship, looking at the mountains and rivers ahead.

Behind him were more than a dozen officials from the Tingwei Mansion.

Meng Yi stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the calm water, and said calmly: "With the two decrees issued by the imperial court, I am afraid that Dang County and even the Wei Dynasty are already in turmoil. I don't know what the state of mind of the local officials is now."

Zhang Xi smiled and said: "I'm afraid it will be a mess."

"Dangjun was the place where the capital of the Wei Kingdom was located in the past, and the remnant forces of the Six Kingdoms were also more stubborn. After the imperial court destroyed Wei, it requisitioned many local officials on the spot. These people did not have any respect for the imperial court. This time the 'Giant Deer Robbery' The boat incident is a clear proof."

"It's time for the local government to carry out serious rectification."

Zhang Xi had a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He is Zhang Han's third brother. Now with Zhang Han being transferred to Nanhai as general, Zhang has become a new noble in the imperial court. As Zhang Han's third brother, he has also been reused. This time he followed Meng Yi to Dang County. Investigate the 'original story' of the 'Julu Ship Stealing' incident.

But be it Meng Yi or Zhang Xi.

They all know it.

Their purpose was not just to 'steal a ship' this time, nor was it to target a Dang County.

But to reorganize the entire Guandong officialdom.

Cleanse away the turbidity and raise the clearness!

Meng Yi turned around and ordered: "Notify the ship and the ship will dock."

"Let Dang County be in chaos for a while first."

"Wait until the mess is almost over, then go out and clean up the mess."

"At the same time, send an order to have the three thousand soldiers led by General Zheng set off immediately to go to Dangjun to suppress the formation."

"I want to see what kind of chaos Dang County will become this time."

"Is it really what His Highness said?"

"Hurry and choose the road!"

Hear the words.

Zhang Xi raised his eyebrows.

He glanced at Meng Yi suspiciously, feeling surprised in his heart.

From Meng Yi's words, he clearly heard that His Highness had other instructions when Meng Yi came this time, and His Highness had also made an advance estimate of the situation in Dang County.

But how is this possible?

Could there be other situations in Dang County?

Zhang Xi's eyes flickered.

As Meng Yi's subordinate, he would not ask any more questions.

But I also secretly fell in love with it.

If something else happened to Dang County, His Highness would be too far-sighted.

This can't help but frighten people.

　It was just a little bit of fun in the last two days.

　　I wish you all a Happy New Year.

　　May all your wishes come true.
