The last three kingdoms

Chapter 56
This night was destined to be a restless night. The Lieutenant's Mansion mobilized almost all its forces to search and arrest inside and outside Chengdu. Many "worms" hidden in the official offices of the Shu Han Dynasty were wiped out one by one, and many strongholds harboring Wei State spies were wiped out. Remove them one by one.

It has to be said that the operation of the Lieutenant's Mansion was quick and powerful. Because Hei Sha was captured in an abandoned village outside Chengdu, and Liu Yin deliberately acted in a low-key manner and did not make the matter public, so Hei Sha was arrested. Not many people know about it.In order to keep secret, the underground intelligence network also adopts a single-line contact method. Although the security is improved, the timeliness is not flattering. Therefore, except for a few spies with a keen sense of smell, there is no time to make many detailed operations. The reaction, especially those traitors lurking inside the government office, many geniuses contacted the upline, was even more accurate.

Faced with the envoys of the Lieutenant's Mansion who were descending like heavenly soldiers, the arrested traitors were all shocked without exception. Most of them could only be caught without a fight, and individual attempts to resist stubbornly were captured on the spot by the envoys of the Lieutenant's Mansion who had been prepared for a long time. .After the incident of Huang Ran's escape, the Lieutenant's Mansion has greatly strengthened its arrest efforts.

At dawn, the dungeons in the Lieutenant's Mansion were already overcrowded, but the arrests did not stop there, and the arrest of individual fish that slipped through the net was still going on in the streets and alleys. The official letter requesting cooperation in the investigation, the nine gates of the city are heavily guarded, strictly checking the passing pedestrians and business travelers.For a time, the city of Chengdu was full of turmoil, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers.

At this time, Liu Yin did not appear at the scene of the arrest, but came to Dongguan Pavilion alone.

Dongguan Pavilion is an official office where archives are stored. All ancient books and historical materials are kept here. The reason why Liu Yin came here was not for other reasons, but to prove Wei Yan's matter.

Although the words of Wei Xuewu and Hei Sha confirmed each other, Xue Wu's identity could basically be confirmed, but for the sake of prudence, Liu Yin decided to come to Dongguan Pavilion in person.

Of course, as Lieutenant Youcheng, Liu Yin was still not qualified to directly enter Dongguan Pavilion to review files. He entered Dongguan Pavilion with the official letter issued by Zhijinwu He Zeng.

The one who received Liu Yin was a secretary. Seeing the official letter submitted by Liu Yin, he hurried to inform Guange Lingshi. After all, Liu Yin's identity was there, so he, a small secretary, could receive him.

Liu Yin quickly met the person in charge of Dongguan Pavilion—Guange Lingshi, who looked about 30 years old, with a fair face, straight and thin eyebrows, and a gentle and elegant temperament, but His eyes were very indifferent, and he had a feeling of being at ease with the situation and detached from things, and there seemed to be no fireworks in his whole body.

It seems that this kind of person should not be an official, but more like those pure-hearted ascetic seekers in the mountains——Liu Yin secretly said in his heart, but he still bowed his hands very politely and said: "The next lieutenant, Youcheng Liu Yin, because of a This case involves some old things in the past, I want to check the files in Guige, hoping to get Ling Shi's assistance, I don't know what Ling Shi is called?"

"I'm Chen Shou, I don't know which file the Lord Youcheng wants to check?"

Chen Shou?Liu Yin couldn't help looking at him a few more times, it turned out that he was Chen Shou, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms!It's like thunder.Three Kingdoms can be called the four major historical books in Chinese history together with Shiji, Hanshu, and Later Hanshu, which is inseparable from Chen Shou's talent.According to historical records, Chen Shou, courtesy name Chengzuo, was born in Anhan, Basil, Yizhou. He was smart and studious when he was young. Guange Lingshi and other posts.

However, Chen Shou's official career was not very smooth. His father once served as Ma Di's army.In this era that emphasizes family background, although Chen Shou is full of talents, he has never been reused.

Chen Shou is not only talented, but also extremely proud. When he was serving as the servant of Sanqi Huangmen, he had to deal with people in the inner palace. At that time, Huang Hao was in power, and everyone was following others, but Chen Shou refused to follow suit. , was hated by Huang Hao, and was relegated to Dongguan Pavilion to be the official history of Guan Pavilion.

The duty of Guange Lingshi is to manage a pile of dusty historical files every day, and there is nothing to do with leisure. Occasionally, people like Liu Yin will come to look up the ancient books, but most of the time, the Dongguan Pavilion is empty and has nothing to do.

"I want to check the information about the rebellion of Zhenbei General Wei Yan in the 12th year of Jianxing." Liu Yin said.

Chen Shou nodded slightly and said, "My lord, please come with me." Chen Shou always looked calm and breezy, and he didn't even ask Liu Yin why he was interested in Wei Yan's information.You must know that Wei Yan was executed for the crime of treason, and his family was copied and executed. Wei Yan's files are basically sensitive information, and most people dare not touch them lightly, for fear of getting burned.

The area of ​​Dongguan Pavilion is very large, there are at least dozens of buildings. If it is filled with classics and books, it will take me how many years to read it from the beginning to the end. If there is no one to guide the way, Looking for what Liu Yin wants to see in these vast materials, I am afraid that he may not be able to find it after a year.

The buildings of Dongguan Pavilion are different. The main body of the house is suspended below, and a few thick wooden piles are erected, which is very similar to the bamboo buildings built by Nanban in the jungle. There is a slope shape on one side of each building. wooden stairs.

Chen Shou stopped under a stilt house, and explained: "There is a lot of humidity in Sichuan, and these houses were built suspended in the air to prevent the moisture from corroding silk and paper classics. Lord Youcheng, please."

Liu Yin hummed lightly, thinking that compared to these peculiar buildings, he cared more about the things in the buildings.

A Jian has been following Liu Yin like a shadow. When Liu Yin went into the house to check the information, he stood at the door to guard.

Walking into the room, Liu Yin couldn't help but gasped. The room was full of bookshelves, the height of which was close to the roof, and they were arranged in a long line with almost no end in sight. On the top of the bookshelves were All kinds of classics are densely piled up, the most of which are all kinds of bamboo slips, which are placed on the bookshelf in rolls. Paper and silk documents are rare, mixed in the sea of ​​bamboo slips, Extremely rare.

Although it is said that paper was invented in the Han Dynasty, the quality of the paper is not flattering. Official documents and records, but without exception, use bamboo slips.Of course, the emperor's imperial edict is an exception, all of which use expensive silk.

If he really wanted to find information about Wei Yan from this vast file, Liu Yin would have a headache just thinking about it.Fortunately, Chen Shou seemed to be familiar with the road, and quickly took down the materials Liu Yin wanted from the bookshelf.
