Among the three assistants in Chang'an, the Webster crisis spread like huge ripples.
Some duckweeds on the water are dancing gracefully driven by the ripples.
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Wang Zhao shook his head.
Although he didn't know what the arrangements were for the public trial of Webster, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
What's more, isn't life wonderful now?
He didn't need to take that risk.
Wang Zhao is a typical successful person who put down his butcher's knife and became a wealthy person immediately.
He was originally the bandit leader. When Xiliang soldiers and horses were in chaos in Heluo Pass, he also pulled up a group of people. Originally he just wanted to stay together and protect himself. Unfortunately, later on, he found that he actually had some authority.
He has somewhat changed his taste.
Did Dong Zhuo, Li Guo and others not care about Wang Zhao and other bandits at that time?
No matter.
Because the political system of the Qin and Han Dynasties only reached the county and county level.
Even the county may not be able to get there.
The prefects appointed by the court are at risk of being sidelined by local forces, so the Han Dynasty lacks administrative power at the bottom and can only rely on the three rural elders, local street... ahem, local squires to assist in governance. These local squires,
Although it is not included in the public service of the Han Dynasty, there are many hidden benefits.
Wang Zhao is such a local squire.
His father is a country squire, his grandfather is also a country squire, and his ancestors are all country squires.
Zuo Feng Yilian has been the director of this small place for many years.
Hereditary country squire, this is very common in feudal dynasties.
So at that time, Dong Zhuo, Li Guo and others only occupied the big cities, while the countryside became the "paradise" for Wang Zhao and others.
However, one thing that Wang Zhao is very smart about is that he has a strong ability to fall into the wind when the situation is bad.
So he successfully "transformed"!
After serving as a bandit for a period of time, he took advantage of Fei to sneak into Chang'an and start to pacify the place. He was willing to surrender, handed over the bandit soldiers, and became a small landowner in Lianshaoxia County.
Fei Qian didn't kill him, nor did he, like Cao Pi, proudly publicize it everywhere in order to show his "prestige", saying that "just thinking that surrendering by sitting down would be more effective than using troops to revolutionize" and so on.
There are actually many people like Wang Zhao.
Wang Zhao had a good friend before, who was a little bolder than Wang Zhao. The result...
This good friend of his is called Zheng Gan.
And now in front of Wang Zhao is Zheng Gan's son, Zheng Shuang.
Zheng Gan sacrificed his own life in exchange for his son's life.
It's a pity that his son Zheng Shuang didn't appreciate it.
Zheng Shuang felt that when he was young, whenever Zheng Gan saw him, his eyes would be straight or his nose would be straight. His first words when they met would be either scolding or blaming. His father had never said a good word or praised him since he was a child.
Let him do something.
Zheng Shuang was not a student, so he was in pain when he was studying. When he couldn't memorize the scriptures and was sad and autistic, crying, he did not get comfort from his father, but was treated coldly by his father, and of course he didn't get a word.
Heart-warming words like forget it if you can’t memorize it...
Therefore, Zheng Shuang does not like his father, hates his father, and feels that those fathers who play with their children all day long, take good care of their children's emotions every day, and can give a loving hug all the time are good fathers.
His father was not.
Even after his father finally sacrificed his own life in exchange for a way of living for him, Zheng Shuang still felt that that was what his father should have done in the first place, and there was nothing to say.
What's more, it was his father who caused him to be exiled to Jiaozhou. If it hadn't been for the strong support from his "friends", it's unclear whether he would have come back alive!
Therefore, Zheng Shuang also did not feel very good about his father's friend Wang Zhao. If he could not find any help, he would not be willing to come to Wang Zhao.
"Uncle Wang! Whether this is a trap or not is another matter, but if Wei Shi really comes to the stage and opens his mouth..." Zheng Shuang said in a deep voice, "I am not the only one who wants him dead! If this can happen, those people
Everyone owes Uncle Wang a debt of gratitude!』
Wang Zhao pondered, to be honest, he was a little moved.
Webster seems to be going down, but what Webster has left in Guanzhong is not only the tangible industries on the ground, but also intangible assets. No matter who it is, it can take a bite of Webster's collapse.
, it’s hard to say whether you can soar immediately, but you can definitely gain weight for a while.
Zheng Shuang's words also need to be listened to from both sides. If you do it, you will be favored. If you don't do it, will you be hated by others?
Wang Zhao stared at Zheng Shuang, grinded his teeth secretly, then put on a smile, making the wrinkles in the smile deeper, "My dear nephew, your father and I..."
"Can you not mention my father?" Zheng Shuang frowned and said, "I am me, and my father is my father!"
Wang Zhao was stunned.
Not mentioning your father? Then what the hell are you doing?
I recognize Zheng Gan as my brother, not as your subordinate!
Now Zheng Shuang came to the door with trouble. Wang Zhao didn't kick him out just to save the face of the dead Zheng Gan. But when Zheng Shuang said this, Wang Zhao was immediately dumbfounded.
But after all, Wang Zhao was older and had experienced more things, and he didn't have an attack. He just coughed twice to cover up the matter, and then asked: "Then... what do you want to do?"
"Easy! From Chang'an to Qinglong Temple, passing by Longshou Plain," Zheng Shuang raised his head, "Wei Shi will take a prison car, hide the good shooter by the road, and snipe him! As long as Wei Shi dies, the world will be at peace!"
Simple?
It's really simple to say.
Wang Zhao pondered for a long time, "So...what do you want from me?"
Zheng Shuang laughed, "He is the one who is good at shooting under Uncle Wang! I heard that there is a man under Uncle Wang who can penetrate a Yang with a hundred steps, and he is called Uncle Shooting..."
Wang Zhao's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, as a bandit leader, he had some people who were good at shooting under him.
"Oh, what a pity..." Wang Zhao patted his thigh, "It would have been better if you had come earlier! A few days ago, Uncle She went hunting in the mountains and broke his arm..."
Zheng Shuang's face sank, "Is it really such an unlucky thing?"
"It's such an unfortunate coincidence." Wang Zhao said sincerely.
Zheng Shuang snorted, "If that's the case, then forget it... Farewell, farewell!"
Wang Zhao pretended to beg to stay, Zheng Shuang grunted twice and left without saying anything more.
When Wang Zhao saw Zheng Shuang leaving, he darkened his face and said, "You are not the son of man! Even if you are the emperor, you know what you can do and what you cannot do! Do you think that everyone in the world is your parents?! Bah!
』
"Come here!" Wang Zhao called to a trusted servant, "Go, quickly go and report the news to Chang'an Youwen Bureau, just tell the truth... Just tell the truth, there is no need to hide it! Anyway, that Zhuzi doesn't recognize his father, so there is no need to stay here."
Love! Go on horseback! Don’t delay!』
…
…
"Sit down." Xun You gestured.
After Tian Yu sat down, Xun You marked a list on the desk and pushed it in front of Tian Yu.
Tian Yu looked at it, "This is..."
Xun You said: "I heard from the Secretary that there are thieves in the countryside who want to commit rebellion."
Tian Yu snorted, "How brave!"
But after a moment, Tian Yu frowned slightly and clicked on the list, "These... seem to be..."
Fengyi on the left, Fufeng on the right, one on the east and one on the west, scattered everywhere.
Wang Zhao's name is on the list.
Xun You nodded, "These people must send people to investigate, and they must do it quickly..."
"You Wen Si..." Tian Yu frowned slightly.
He did have some soldiers under his command, but most of them needed to be mobilized by the Tiger Talisman. Moreover, after the Weishi Manor was cleared, the Tiger Talisman was given back to Xun You and is now placed on Xun You's desk.
Moreover, isn’t the Wen Division more professional in this kind of investigation?
Xun You waved his hand, "I heard that the Department of Information and the Inspection Office want to help stabilize the tombs in Chang'an, and there are no redundant manpower available."
"..." Tian Yu was silent for a moment, seemingly hesitant, but still said, "Your Majesty... I suspect... this is a trap..."
Xun You raised his eyebrows, "I'd like to hear the details."
Tian Yu pointed at the list and said: "These... are all unknown people. Not to mention they are trying to rob a prison car. Even if they have some people, they are probably just a ragtag group of people, and it will never be possible..."
"Oh?" Xun You said with a smile, "Then Guorang thinks, who can cause trouble?"
"The rich people!" Tian Yu said without hesitation, "and the Shandong spies! And... the enemies of the Hussars..."
Xun You nodded and said, "For example?"
"Li Guo is a thief." Tian Yu said.
Xun You looked at Tian Yu, and after a while, he smiled and said, "As expected of the country!"
"So..." Tian Yu pushed the list.
Tian Yu understood why he was the one to deal with Webster.
Because he has no connection with the local gentry or the wealthy family of Sanfu in Guanzhong.
Moreover, Guanzhong and Longyou have been intertwined with each other since the Eastern Han Dynasty. If Fei Qian had not continued to govern from the outside in over the years, it would be impossible to say that the three assistants in Guanzhong would still be in a mess now!
Although it is said to have improved a lot now, there are still hidden dangers.
This hidden danger was not brought about by others, but originally existed among the three assistants in Guanzhong.
Simply taking the Longyou and Longxi area, during the period from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to the present, how many Longyou Qiang Hu Haoqiang were formed and had names? In addition to Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang, and Han Sui,
In addition to Ma Teng and other big heads, there are also more than 20 people including Yan Zhong, Huang Yan, Li Shen and so on!
And with the support of these powerful Qiang and Hu people and the local gentry and gentry in Guanzhong, there were still more than ten groups of small warlords in Guanzhong during the chaos of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo!
Of course, the most important thing is still the remnant thief Li Guo...
Xun You found a record from the other side of the desk and handed it to Tian Yu.
"Li Shi, the son of Li Jue, died in the rebellion. However, his younger brother Li Wei and his nephew Li Jin ended up unknown..." Xun You said slowly.
These are very common names, but they contain something very extraordinary.
"In addition, there are Li Ying, Li Huan and others, but there are no traces..." Xun You continued to say slowly, with a calm voice, "For example, Li Ying, who was once named Li Wei, served as a military academy lieutenant.
In the past, when Li Tie held the emperor hostage and wanted to kill Zhao Zirou, he persuaded him many times to relieve his trouble. Therefore, Youyun went east with Zhao Zirou..."
During the time of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, it was a complete failure.
The original household registration system of Han Dynasty was not perfect, and Dong Zhuo and Li Guo destroyed the weak foundation again. In this process, after Fei Qian took over Guanzhong in the later period, it was impossible to immediately establish something similar to that of later generations.
Household registration system. Even if Fei Qian wanted to register the population more truthfully and reconstruct the household registration files, it would only be after killing a few fools who showed up that the natives in Guanzhong became honest.
So, these large and small warlords who were rampant in Longyou, Longxi, Guanzhong and Sanfu, as well as their relatives related to the warlords, disappeared in an instant after the war?
If it didn't disappear, then where did it go?
The answer is of course obvious.
Those who were lucky enough not to die in the battle either went to Shandong or changed their names and hid themselves.
Just like how Xu Shu was able to escape capture after killing someone before, he can continue to live as long as he changes his name...
But similarly, without the protection of the local gentry and gentry, just like when the Jingzhou gentry accepted and protected Xu Shu, these people would not be able to hide either.
The laws of the Han Dynasty were often crude, negligent, and downward.
Among the upper classes, many Han laws were weakened or even rendered ineffective.
For example, the square in front of Liu Xie's palace must be solemn and solemn, and no fun was allowed. If ordinary people came to the door of his palace, let alone a little bit of arrogance, even if they accidentally stepped in, they would be killed on the spot.
But if Cao Pi went to the Palace Square to have fun...
He was not even Cao Pi, but just an ordinary member of the Cao family. When he went for a walk, Liu Xie could only laugh and pretend that he was blind and deaf and didn't know anything.
Therefore, if Xun You wants to lift up the rotten board of Webster, he must also make a plan to capture and crush the monsters hidden under the board. Otherwise, these monsters will continue to follow the shadows.
I know where I went...
As we all know, there is no special hatred between Fei Qian and Dong Zhuo. Fei Qian could even successfully inherit part of Dong Zhuo's inheritance. However, Fei Qian and Li Guo and others after Dong Zhuo were fighting for Guanzhong.
, leaving a relatively large degree of hatred. Some relatives and descendants of Li Guo will feel that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and then live in seclusion quietly, but there are also some people who feel that Fei Qian stole the happiness and happiness that originally belonged to them.
.
Tian Yu looked at the second list provided by Xun You. For some reason, he smelled something familiar to him.
After a moment of silence, Tian Yu said: "Shijun Xun... Is there any... um, Shijun Jia's handiwork in this?"
Xun You smiled but didn't answer.
Tian Yu didn't ask any more questions, and after giving a bow, he put the records away and left as ordered.
Now that you know that he is just a pawn on the chessboard, you must first do your duty well.
Xun You watched Tian Yu leave and asked in a low voice: "How is the General's Mansion?"
A confidant on the side replied in a low voice: "Colonel Huang replied, two posts have been set up, multiple secret posts, all direct guards, three shifts of inspections, day and night!"
Xun You nodded, "Good."
Xun You re-deduced what happened before and after, and found that there was nothing missing. He slowly exhaled and looked up at the sky, "Those who are good at fighting have no illustrious name..."
"Lang Jun," a confidant on the side whispered, "do you want... to stay away?"
Xun You shook his head, "If I avoid it, wouldn't it mean telling others that this is a trap?"
…
…
Several figures were hiding in the shadows, talking eagerly and arguing fiercely.
But no matter how fierce the argument was, these people still tried their best to lower their voices and turned their heads to look at the outside world from time to time, as if they were hiding behind a cover.
"This is a trap!"
"Who doesn't know this is a trap?! I mean use it in reverse!"
"The other way around? Why the other way around? They are just waiting for us to show up!"
"No, no, think about it, if we pretend to rescue or kill Wei Xiufu... they will definitely be more prepared, but because of this, the defenses in other places will be empty.
?』
"You, you mean..."
"Haha, it's just like the man named Wang... He reported the news and thought he had a plan... You must know that only Kan Derun is leading inspections in the city now, and new soldiers are gathering outside the city, and they don't dare to use it... Pang Shiyuan again
We are bringing the veterans in Zuo Fengyi! I also asked people to make more bait in Zuo Fengyi to lure him to stay... Anyway, now they must divide their troops to investigate and take precautions! We will then deceive the rest of the people to go to Qinglong Temple, thinking that we
We have to attack Webster...but this is a trap we set! Who the hell cares about Webster? We only care if we lock these guys, we just need to take advantage of this!"
"It's like a bait! A trap! A trap they have to jump into!"
"A trap?"
"We only need one hour! After one hour, it won't matter whether Wei Xiufu is alive or dead!"
"An hour?"
"An hour!"
"What can you do in one hour?"
"Kill people, set fire, and disrupt Chang'an! By the way...if I can kill..."
"Don't think about it! There are many sentries in the Hussar Mansion, with strong bows and crossbows. If you go there, you will die!"
"Then it's the officials... Anyway, killing some officials will always affect the Hussars' front line more, and it will also help the Prime Minister's advance! Think about it, isn't this a God-given opportunity? Anyway, it's all blamed on Webster, even if it's
If they find out, what can they do? Isn't it possible to instigate the period and make the place uneasy and the countryside uneasy?"
While several people were talking, the figure outside the window shook.
A few people immediately fell silent and stared nervously out of the window, fearing that the next moment they would hear the roar of "Youwen Secretary is working"...
Fortunately, it was not the people from Wensi who came, but their people.
"Someone saw with their own eyes that Tian Guorang left the city and headed west, probably to Youfufeng..."
The figure said this, then swayed for a moment and left again.
Several people in the room were silent for a moment, then became excited,
"The trap worked!"
"Tian Guorang fell into the trap!"
"This is the best time and the last time!"
"Now or never!"
"The time has come to be loyal to the country and serve the Prime Minister!"
