After the order was issued, without any delay, Wei Wuji and Gai Nie set off for the Wei and Wei Kingdoms that afternoon.
On the afternoon of the third day, as Tian Dan brought a handwritten letter from the Queen Mother of Qi, the four countries reached an agreement in name.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to Linhe County?" Zhao Sheng asked.
"No, I believe Li Si. Let Yan Xiong lead 3,000 soldiers to Linhe County, and obey Li Si's orders. Li Si is given the right to kill first and then report later." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
…
Only five days after sending the news, Li Si received an order from Handan, appointing him as the special envoy of the four countries and fully responsible for the matter. He could kill first and report later.
"Terrible efficiency!" Li Si held the appointment letters of Zhao, Qi, Wei and Wei in his hand, and his heart was filled with shock.
It is very rare to be able to discuss the results in such a short time, let alone directly persuade the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Wei to issue a letter of appointment. This means that Zhao State did not waste any time, and a transcendent warrior must personally deliver the letter in time.
At the same time, Li Si also felt a sense of pride in being in a powerful country. This was a feeling that he had never had in Chu State, and it was also something that Zhao State had never had in the past.
When Mengchang Jun Tianwen passed by Zhao State, he was ridiculed by the Zhao people. In anger, he massacred a county. Facing the powerful Qi State, Zhao State could only choose to swallow its anger.
What if we tried it now? Not to mention a county, even a li, the State of Zhao would send troops to attack the State of Qi.
Li Siwang was sent the seal and ribbon together with the letter of appointment. From now on, he was the special envoy of Zhao, Qi, Wei and Wei. He could use the seal and ribbon to go to any country to arrest criminals.
However, Li Si was not at all happy, because this matter was more than that simple, and if it was not handled well, it might lead to fire.
"How long does it take for the army to arrive here?" Li Si looked at Yan Xiong who had sent the message.
"Special envoy, it will take three more days." Yanxiong said with clasped fists.
"No more waiting, summon the guards and county soldiers immediately, and follow me to surround Yanghuli." Li Si waved his hand and said.
Now that he has been appointed as a special envoy, there is no way to refuse. This kind of matter should be done sooner rather than later, so Li Si made a decisive decision and immediately surrounded Yanghuli.
"No." Yanxiong said.
Zhao Kuo ordered him to obey Li Si's orders, and he would obey no matter what orders Li Si gave. Besides, it was only one li, so even if he didn't bring a single soldier, Yan Xiong had nothing to worry about.
As evening approached, the sun set and the afterglow dyed half of the sky red, a team of more than 400 people moved quickly along the path.
There are rows of houses in the village ahead, no different from ordinary villages.
Li Si stood looking inside and outside Yanghu for a long time, feeling extremely confused.
He himself was not a particularly just person who dared to plead for the people. His childhood experience told Li Si that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. He himself also very much agreed with Yang Zhu's "for me" theory.
So after getting the news, I immediately thought of avoiding it.
Because no matter how this matter is handled, it is impossible to satisfy everyone.
Kill them all? He will be called an executioner, a butcher, a murderous cruel official, and will never be able to be the prime minister in the future, because no one will let such a devil stay above him.
A lighter sentence? If the matter had not been exposed, it would have been possible. Now that it has been exposed, a lighter sentence will only offend most people.
Even though those nobles didn't care about the common people, if Li Si let these human traffickers go, he would definitely be criticized worse than the human traffickers in Eastern Europe.
Kill some and leave some? The result is the same, even more people are offended.
Li Si had no time to think. Through the low fence, he could see villagers starting to gather here.
There were adult men holding swords and guns, looking at Li Si fiercely, there were old men holding sticks and shovels, their eyes full of vigilance, and there was an old woman hiding behind with a child in her arms, her eyes numb.
"I wonder why this gentleman surrounded me in Yanghu?" Soon, an old man in a brocade robe walked out. Although his hair was gray, he was in good spirits.
If he hadn't known him before, Li Si would have been deceived by his appearance, thinking that he was an old man who was well-read in poetry and understood etiquette, justice and integrity.
"Catch the traffickers." Li Si said.
"My lord, you must have gone to the wrong place. We have no human traffickers here. If your lord slanders us again, we will definitely go to Handan to beat the drum and ask the king to comment." The old man said solemnly.
"Haha." Li Si couldn't help but laugh, pointing at the old man and saying, "You don't think I'm here to reason with you, do you?"
"Arrest them all. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot." Li Si waved his hand and said.
"..." The old man's face suddenly turned pale with anger. He wanted to use his sharp tongue to make Li Si retreat, but he didn't expect that Li Si wouldn't give him a chance to speak.
"Nuo." Yan Xiong was the first to rush forward, knocked the old man unconscious with one palm, and then threw him to the soldiers behind him.
When the villagers in Yanghu saw this, they turned around and ran back. No matter how fierce and violent they were usually, their true colors were revealed once they encountered regular troops.
Like tigers descending from a mountain, hundreds of soldiers broke through the low fence and arrested one criminal after another. The old woman knelt by the road, shaking like chaff, and many children cried loudly.
Some personnel resisted fiercely, and soon a strong smell of blood filled the air.
Not long after, teams came out of the village one after another, followed by a group of women and children.
Most of the women were unkempt and disheveled, and most of them had dull eyes. There were scars on their exposed skin, and some wore anklets or handcuffs that made a swishing sound when they walked.
The women all lowered their heads and curled up, not daring to look at others or letting others look at them.
"Go and prepare some clothes, take them aside, and tell them that we still need their help later," Li Si said.
"promise."
"Are they all here?" Li Si said, pointing to these women.
"My lord, all the living people are here, and some are dead. The house I went down to has a cell. In addition to three living people, there are also two dead bodies. The bodies are already rotten. The middle woman asked
We said: Why didn't you come earlier? Then he crashed into the wall and died..." a soldier cried and said.
"If the king hadn't asked me to listen to you, I would have killed all these beasts in human skins. All the county magistrates in Linhe County were trash inferior to pigs and dogs. When I go back, I will impeach Linhe
The county magistrates of the past dynasties, if the king does not deal with it, I will kill these wastes, at worst, all military merits will be cut off, and we will start from scratch." Yan Xiong said in a deep voice.
"I will impeach with you then." Li Si knew very well that dealing with people like Yan Xiong would be enough, and he himself had this intention.
If it weren't for this group of pigs, this skeleton wouldn't have been able to wait for him to mend it.
Sure enough, after Li Si said this, Yan Xiong's attitude towards Li Si changed a lot. He no longer pointed his nostrils at Li Si as before, and only obeyed Li Si because of Zhao Kuo's orders.
"My officer, Li Si, came a little late and caused everyone to suffer. I would like to apologize to you. Please also stay in Linhe County for a while and assist me in arresting all criminals. After you recover, you can leave. You can also
Stay in the Kingdom of Zhao, and I will find a place for you where no one knows you, and arrange a simple job for you so that you can support yourself."
Even if the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were reopened, it would be difficult for a woman to raise her head and meet people after being tortured and humiliated. If she returned home, she would probably suffer a double blow. It would be better to stay in Zhao State and find a place where no one knows her.
