Back to the Qin Dynasty as a prince

Chapter 29: Zhao'er's Secret Lost Power and Captured the Head [2 more to be sent]

From Zhaoer's mouth, Fusu got a deeper message.Zhaoer's father was a military officer named Xu Cheng.It is quite powerful in Shangjun.And the northern Xinjiang pass guarded by Zhaoer's father is a place where the commercial route must pass through, otherwise the original route must be detoured, and the cost will increase greatly.

Xu Cheng is a man of integrity, benevolent, and has a good reputation in his hometown.Several rich families in his hometown also made good deals with Xu, so although Xu Cheng disdained to do that kind of smuggling, he didn't investigate strictly because of his fellow countrymen's affection, so he turned a blind eye.

However, ever since Zhao'er was targeted by Chen Qing, blessings and misfortunes never come singly.Inexplicably, the pass guarded by Xu Cheng was captured by thousands of Huns.

Xu Cheng led three hundred men and killed nearly a thousand enemies.When the news reached Shangjun, the Xu family was deeply saddened.Just at this time, something even more unexpected happened.

The messenger who came to report the letter died of a serious illness, and the infection spread to a small village outside the city.As a result, the whole village was infected with the disease.

This disease has an incubation period of more than ten days, and everything is fine at the beginning.However, after a few days, it erupted violently and died suddenly.Qin people are simple and warm, and if there are visitors from other places, they will definitely entertain them.

Therefore, foreign caravans usually travel outside and like to camp in the village.There are especially many merchant convoys at this time, and many convoys have camped in that small village.

These convoys traveled to Beidi County, between the two counties of Shang County.Immediately spread the plague.The hardest-hit area was in Shangjun, and there were refugees outside Fushi city.They are all people who come to the city to seek medical treatment.

Fushi City is only so big, and there are only dozens of doctors.Where there is enough, the rich and powerful in the city have dispersed.Although county and county officials did not dare to escape, the government officials and employees were all cunning.Fearing the plague, they all fled without a trace.This is why Fusu guessed why the government moved slowly.

At the beginning of the plague outbreak, Zhao'er followed his mother to take in refugees and distribute herbal medicine and food.She has a great reputation among the refugees, and many people are grateful to Zhao'er and her daughter.

However, not all refugees are honest and kind people. The rogues in the city and some middle-aged refugees seem to have no money.He actually set his mind on Zhaoer's mother and daughter.

Dozens of rogues and refugees gathered together and rushed into Xu's house, intending to loot Xu's house.Fortunately, more than a dozen old servants in the family are old soldiers who survived the battlefield under Xu Chengende.

Nature desperately escorted Zhaoer's mother and daughter to escape.

Having said that, Zhao'er could no longer hide the sadness in her heart.With tears streaming down his face, Fusu sighed: "Don't worry, I will take over Fushi when I enter the city. I will avenge you."

Zhaoer's eyes counted, and big tears fell down.Fu Su suddenly became at a loss.The more sympathetic and sympathetic a person is, the less he can see a woman cry.

Fusu is exactly that!

Helpless, Fusu had no choice but to comfort him lamely based on his memory.Zhao'er stopped crying, feeling rather embarrassed.

Fu Su turned his head to look out the window, and wondered for a long time: "A dozen or so old soldiers should have good martial arts skills. It should be fine to deal with dozens of rascals who have never seen blood and only bully the old and the weak."

Zhao'er's expression suddenly became agitated: "Supposedly, there should be no problem. But, there are horse thieves mixed in. This is thousands of miles away, except for his Chen family who has a close relationship with the horse thieves. Who has the guts to dare to provoke the horse thieves!"

Fusu's eyes flashed sharply.

Zhao'er looked painful, and seemed to think of the bloody scene before: "Uncles and uncles all died fighting to cover Uncle Chang and my mother and me. My mother and I planned to go to Yangzhou to seek refuge with my mother's family, but I didn't want that murderer." Chen Qing with a thousand knives blocked him with his minions."

Fusu's heart moved when he heard this, it is said that even though people like Chen Qing are greedy for beauty, they must cherish their own lives.If Chen Qing's own life is gone, then there is no such thing as enjoying beauty.

But Chen Qing came to rob people with a group of cronies, his arrogance and domineering was obvious.But there must be secrets in it, and Chen Qing must have his own reliance.Could it be that the Chen family in Beidi County is also related to this matter?

Fusu suddenly thought of the death of Xu Cheng, Zhao'er's father, and was startled.

But at this time Zhaoer continued: "Fortunately, Uncle Chang was quick-witted and took my mother and me to the place where the villagers fled. He shouted that the villain Chen Qing was coming to arrest me. These villagers all stood up to protect me and my mother. But, but the scene was chaotic at that time. My mother and I were separated. I covered my face with a layer of dust, and no one could recognize me. Only then did I escape to Yiqu."

Fu Su nodded, and was about to say something.Only to find that Zhao'er, who had been talking for more than an hour, was already so tired that she fell into a deep sleep.Fusu let out a laugh, took off his cloak and covered Zhao'er.Get out of the carriage and blow the whistle.A handsome white horse galloped over and rubbed against Fusu, staring at Fusu with big eyes.

Fu Su showed his face: "Old man, let's go!" After saying that, he got on his horse.

In the city of Fushi.

Wearing a shabby government uniform.Zhu Lin returned home exhausted and pushed open the old door.There was a creak, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

In the kitchen, my wife is busy cooking.Looking at this busy figure, Zhu Lin felt deeply guilty for not marrying into his family.This childhood sweetheart was one of the most beautiful women in his hometown at that time.Now follow yourself, but labor every day.Became a yellow-faced woman.

After a simple and vulgar meal.It was late at night, and Zhu Lin was lying on the bed.Look out the window at the stars!My heart is full of depression.

At this time, he came over with his arms around Zhu Lin: "Husband, is something not going well with the Gongmen?"

Zhu Lin turned around and nodded, "I've been very busy these past few days. I can't relax."

indeed.The plague broke out in Shangjun, and the first person to know was not the county guard.On the contrary, it is the low-level yamen servants, these people are connected with all kinds of teachings and nine streams.The high-level secrets of the righteous news may not be known, but the bottom-level secrets are clearly known to these people.As soon as the plague broke out, many civil servants and government servants who were greedy for life and afraid of death fled.

Shi Jun was furious, but he didn't dare to waste manpower to investigate at this time, so he had to reward those who stayed behind.But everyone's work is more than doubled.

Zhu Lin's wife shook her head, and said in a soft voice: "Husband, I am your wife. Can't I relieve some of your worries? I can also share some of the family's burdens."

Zhu Lin felt even more guilty: "It's Lin Wuneng who didn't let you live a life of being a servant."

The wife hugged her hands even tighter: "No. It's good to be able to start a family and start a business. Now it's better than being poor before."

Zhu Lin sighed and talked about the county government affairs.Public officials in local counties and counties, after all, in the county, the people govern the county guard and the county magistrate, the military governs the county lieutenant, and the supervisory supervisor supervises the censor.The giants of the three aspects are not affiliated with each other.

Nominally, the Sheriff is the highest local governor.He is a high-ranking official of the imperial court and is registered.The same is true of the Juncheng, more reluctantly, counting the masters and other chief officials under the jurisdiction of the Juncheng.These are barely considered officials, and the rest are just officials.

Officials are officials, officials are officials, and officials are officials.There is a clear difference.

In terms of locality, if it is said that the number one person is the county guard, it is undoubtedly the first choice.However, local wealthy families also had great influence.

People's hearts are not enough. These aristocratic families have such great influence, so they naturally want to stand firm politically.Gain the right to speak in the local government.

The escape of a large number of subordinate officials is naturally regarded as an excellent opportunity for the aristocratic family to gain a foothold in the yamen.Zhu Lin even wondered whether it was these aristocratic families who single-handedly promoted the escape of these subordinates.After all, the laws of the Qin Dynasty were not only strict, but also harsh.Run away when the plague breaks out, even if you don't die in the plague.He must die in prison, under the guillotine.

If it is about fleeing, under the strict state machinery of the Qin Dynasty, the sea arrest document was issued.Even fleeing to the northern regions of the South China Sea is useless.

It should be said that there is the support of local wealthy families.Hiding in a small village and deep in the mountains, it is quite reliable that these subordinate officials can escape.Thinking of this, Zhu Lin shivered.Take those thoughts back immediately.

Zhu Lin is now just a small yamen arrester, and even the last one.Even these aristocratic families may not be able to fight against the government, after all, the county magistrate who broke the family and the Ling Yin who destroyed the family.But it is easy to deal with a small headhunter.

Moreover, Zhu Lin deeply knew how powerful the aristocratic family was, so he missed Zhu Lin himself.It's just that he was promoted step by step from Yangzhou County because of his hard work, without a trace of background.

So Shangguan was willing to use himself, and gave Zhu Lin all the dirty and tiring work of offending others.Fortunately, Zhu Lin stepped up from the grassroots step by step, with outstanding abilities.It didn't offend people too much to barely sit down one by one.Barely considered a foothold in the county.

But as for the other arresters, Zhu Lin was quite upset when he thought of this.Everyone who is a member of the public family has no integrity at all to add to the heels of those aristocratic families.He was all overwhelmed by the family's money, and was dazzled by the beauties of the family.

Zhu Lin spit out all the grievances and resentments one by one, and the depression in his chest dissipated.Looking at his wife's face.Zhu Lin felt warm in his heart.

Zhu Lin's wife Fu Shi has been listening quietly, looking at the man in front of him who is working hard for his family.I am also proud in my heart, the other headhunters are just relying on the prestige of the family, but my husband is relying on his own ability to fight for his future step by step.

How do those people compare to their husbands?

Fu said with a smile: "I don't care about other people. I only know that my husband relied on his own ability and worked hard. In my eyes, my husband is the best."

Zhu Lin no longer felt bored, what more could a husband ask for after getting a wife like this?I am even more determined in my heart, and must make a career out of it.To let the wife live a good life, there is no need to talk about the yellowing and deformation of the youthful appearance baked in the fireworks.

At this time, Mrs. Fu suddenly said: "My husband, I heard that the young master is going to make meritorious service in northern Xinjiang. If he passes by us, what should we do? Isn't my husband going to be even more busy?"

Zhu Lin also frowned when he heard that, and suddenly thought sharply in his heart: "
