Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 146 The Power of a Letter

When Siming said this, Lu Da immediately murmured in his heart. Could it be that this seemingly simple and honest heart actually has something to do with the old man Siming? If so, it would be troublesome.

Immediately stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Si Lao, why are you looking for this person?"

"It's nothing special. I just came to send a letter from home. The third brother of Zhongzhi sent a letter from home from the front line. I sent it to him specially." Since Lu Da asked, Siming didn't think much about it. Straight up.

When Siming said this, Lu Da was puzzled. If the postman would be responsible for delivering the letters from home, there would be no need for the three elders to do this job.

In fact, this was also the result of Heifu's negligence. According to the normal postal procedures, after Heifu's home letter was written, he would usually put a layer of wood on the wooden tablet or cover the contents of the letter with sealing mud. Hei Fu, who knew nothing about this, directly omitted this step and handed the letter to the postman.

Naturally, the postman would not help the black husband to deal with it. Besides, there is nothing to hide in the countryside, and there are not a few people who mail it directly without concealing it.

If it was normal, nothing would happen, but what happened was that after Ziying wrote the family letter for Heifu, he added a seal on it on a whim. At this time, there are very few people who use seals on home letters, and most people don’t have such a thing at all. .

In the Qin Dynasty, the "postal service" was not as popular as it is now. There were only a few letters in a county every day. After the Heifu's family letter arrived at the Anlu county government, the officials of the county government immediately discovered the difference.

Looking at the content of the letter carefully, there is nothing unusual about the text in front of it. It is simply asking his family to send him some money and clothes. However, when he saw the last line, the official couldn't believe his eyes. Impressively written: "Chang'an Lord Zhao Ziying is the book.".

Who is Lord Chang'an? He is the only one among all the sons of the Qin State who is enshrined as a monarch. After Changping Lord rebelled and Changwen Lord died of illness, he is the only "only remaining" in Qin State. Moreover, it is said that Mr. Chang'an grew up in the State of Zhao since he was a child, and his life experience is also full of legends, so he is naturally well-known in the State of Qin.

This little official should submit this family letter to Li Du's desk in Anlu County.

As a magistrate of a county, he naturally recognized that not only did Lord Chang'an write this letter, but the seal on the letter was also Lord Chang'an's private seal.

Moreover, after obtaining the sending and receiving information of this family letter, it was found that this letter was sent from the front line of the Chu campaign, and according to Xianyang's official documents, Lord Chang'an was serving as the supervisor of the Chu campaign.

There is not much practical benefit in writing a letter in the name of Mr. Chang'an, and it is very easy to get into trouble if someone finds out, let alone in the military camp.

After careful consideration, he concluded that this letter should undoubtedly be written by Mr. Chang'an.A small soldier is obviously not qualified to ask Mr. Chang'an to write a letter for him.

Since Heifu was able to get in touch with Lord Chang'an, the only explanation is that this Heifu may have been lucky enough to be accepted as a soldier by Lord Chang'an, and he should be a confidant of Lord Chang'an. It seems so reasonable.

With this judgment, then Du's next move is reasonable.No matter how much he is valued by Mr. Chang'an, Heifu is just an ordinary bodyguard now. Naturally, a county magistrate would not condescend to send a family letter to a small bodyguard, but it is also necessary to express goodwill in advance. It's easy to meet my husband if he gets an official position in the army.

Immediately, he recruited Siming, the third elder in the village, and ordered him to deliver the letter to Heifu's house in person, and sent five hundred dollars as a token of his gratitude, and then forgot about it.

Du, the county magistrate, said casually that it was like an "imperial decree" in Siming's place. After receiving Du's order, Dang even asked his son to drive him to Chang'an in a carriage. After reading the letter, Siming's The idea was the same as Du Ye's, and he immediately prepared a meeting gift of [-] yuan for Zhong's family out of his own pocket.

When I arrived in Chang'an, I was about to find someone to inquire about it. I didn't even think about getting out of the car and ran into the local village chief Lu Da. That's how this scene happened.

"It's just a letter, Mr. He Laosi condescended to come here in person." Lu Da said nonchalantly, since Siming and Zhong had nothing to do, he was relieved.

"This is not an ordinary letter from home, just take a look." Siming said, handing the wooden tablet in his hand to Luda who looked puzzled.

Lu Da took it, looked at it for a while, but didn't see any difference, and looked at Siming suspiciously.

"You continue to look back." Siming said inscrutablely.

Luda had no choice but to be patient, and continued to read. At the end, Luda finally discovered the unusualness of this letter from home.

"This..." Lu Da held the wooden tablet tremblingly and looked at Siming.

"The county magistrate has confirmed that this letter was indeed written by His Royal Highness Chang'an." Siming knew what Lu Da wanted to ask, so he replied directly: "The county magistrate is busy with official duties, so I asked the old man to come here. Please, be sure to deliver this letter to Heifu’s family in person.”

To be able to make a country enshrine the king as a ghostwriter, this black husband must be a very trusted person of Chang'an Lord, and Lu Da naturally thought of this at the first time.

Immediately frightened Sanhun was uneasy, he had just sided with Lu Wang and sentenced Heifu's elder brother to Chengdan, if this Heifu came back and found something wrong with him, he would not be able to bear it.

Glancing at Lu Wang, who was still standing carelessly aside, not understanding the seriousness of the matter, Lu Da thought to himself: "The current plan can only be to push all the faults on this nephew."

Now he said to Siming: "The mob, Lu Wang, has done harm to the village, and now he is molesting Zhong's sister-in-law. I am trying to win justice for Zhong."

Lu Da's words made Lu Wang stunned.

"Uncle, didn't we agree to sentence Zhong to the punishment of Chengdan, and we each have half of his family property? What are you talking about?"

"Bold mob, dare to talk nonsense, hurry up and take him down!" Lu Da shouted loudly.

Although they didn't understand that there would be such a change, the several robbers who accompanied Lu Da still followed Lu Da's order and detained Lu Wang on the ground.

Looking at Lu Wang who was still talking, Lu Da was afraid that he would bite him again.

"Gag his mouth!"

Luda ordered again.

Seeing Lu Da's performance, Siming also understood that Lu Da must have concealed something, but as long as it didn't affect his mission, he didn't bother to take care of it.

"Where is Zhong's House?" Siming continued to ask.

"Here it is, Mr. Si, please follow me." Lu Da led the way ahead and led Siming to the gate of the courtyard.

And the Zhong family, who were still immersed in the pain of parting a moment ago, were a little confused by the changes in front of them. Therefore, the head of the village, Lu Da, even sent someone to take down his nephew.

What happened next left his family at a loss.
