As someone who has visited two museums in Hunan and Hubei, Heifu was certainly impressed by names like "Xiheifuli Cang". But in the two years since he had known Li Xian and gone through life and death together, he never thought that his son was also named Li Cang.
.
Of course, it is another matter whether it is the king of Changsha in the Han Dynasty, Li Cang, who was wrapped in gold and jade clothes and whose wife became the number one mummy in China. It is another matter. Maybe it is just the same name?
Heifu's attention was attracted by another thing Li Xian said.
"You want Yun Man to be blamed and removed from office?"
Heifu was a little surprised and a little amused at the behavior of his subordinates who spontaneously helped him plot against his enemies, but he could also understand that these people he brought back were already firmly tied to him, and they were both prosperous and devastated.
damage.
A new faction has emerged among the Qin officials in Anlu County: the "Black Party".
So Heifu asked Li Xian to explain the matter in detail.
Li Xian said: "Three generations of the Yun family have all become Zuowei of the county. Their old relatives are all over the county. Especially in the system of lieutenants, half of them are from the Yun family. They are all Qin officials with varying titles and powers.
Those people are colluding with each other, and they must have done a lot of corruption and perversion of the law. Although Yunman was careful enough not to give others any clues, it is impossible to completely cover up those old relatives."
"In the past, we were just pawns in the small pavilion and could do nothing about it. But now, we have become the Wei Shi. We can take advantage of our authority to secretly investigate the Yun family. Once we find any flaws, we can inform the right lieutenant and borrow the money.
It’s up to Yun Man to blame him. In this case, Yun Man’s Zuo Lieutenant will not be able to serve for long... and the official can replace him!"
After hearing this, Heifu thought thoughtfully. Just as Li Xian said, the Yun family's men must have caught a lot of small problems, but these things are not fatal enough to completely overthrow the deep-rooted evil in Anlu County.
Mr. Yun needs a serious crime that can be punished!
He had a vague guess, but as a key witness, Dou Ran was a hard-nosed nobleman from the Chu Kingdom, and he kept silent on the road. He was now being sent to the Nanjun County Prison, and he didn't know what the officials asked him.
What Heifu planned to do was to directly attack the Yun family from top to bottom and draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron. But Li Xian and others wanted to investigate from the bottom up, starting from the Yun family's old cronies, like termites eating a tree.
These two plans can be combined and implemented together...
Heifu agreed to Li Xian's request and allowed them to use their positions to investigate the lower-level personnel of the Yun family.
"The subordinates must report everything to the officials, no matter how big or small." Li Xian was very sensible.
But Hei Fu shook his head: "When I am not in Anlu, you will be in charge of this matter. Dongmen Bao, Xiao Tao, although your title is higher than yours, but you have the privilege of being a military official in the county, so I will tell everyone,
I need to listen to your command and don't act recklessly. In addition, you have to restrain everyone for me. Except for Xiao Tao, everyone else has bad habits. A Bao is addicted to alcohol, Ji Ying is lustful, and Fortune is greedy. How about you deal with the Yun family?
At the same time, Mr. Yun may be plotting against you, so be careful and don’t lose the big for the small!”
"Wei!" Li Xian was a little excited to have Hei Fu's trust so much, but then he realized what he was doing.
"Not in Anlu? Officer, are you going to another place?"
But Hei Fu smiled mysteriously and did not reveal anything. He just said: "Of course, I won't stay here for a long time. After the spring starts, everything in Anlu will have to depend on you!"
…
Free time at home always flies by. In the blink of an eye, it’s early January. Zhong, as Tian Dian, is busy preparing for spring plowing, and Heihu is not idle either. While rejecting several marriage offers, he surprises his younger brother.
Found a good marriage.
On the first day of the first lunar month, Heifu came to the house in person to marry his younger brother Jing, and asked Yan Zheng to marry his daughter to Jing!
Yan Zheng and Heifu have a teacher-student relationship. He recognized people with his sharp eyes two years ago, and now he has been richly rewarded. After Heifu became an official, Yan Zheng, who had already retired, became popular again, and everyone was surprised.
His wise move in accepting Hei Fu as his disciple made him respect Yan Zheng even more.
Yan Zheng felt a little difficult to deal with Hei Fu's request. In fact, their family preferred Hei Fu himself... But Hei Fu rejected all the matchmakers in the county and made it clear that he would not marry for the time being, so Yan Zheng could only retreat.
Secondly, giving birth to a daughter-in-law is also a way to build a deeper relationship with the Heifu family.
The only fly in the ointment is that Jing is currently just a young student in the academy and has no title. This marriage would be a bit embarrassing if word spread about it.
"Don't worry about your title."
There was no need for Hei Fu to hide anything from Yan Zheng. He lowered his voice and said to him: "If I am not mistaken, this year the King may issue the "Order of Grain Collection" again. People who donate thousands of stones of millet will be awarded the first level of nobility..."
Yan Zheng's eyes flashed: "You mean, the king wants to attack Chu?"
"Not only is it necessary to attack, but the whole country is mobilized to destroy Chu! Nanjun and Anlu will not be spared. This matter is no longer a secret in Guanzhong. I believe that after the spring plowing, the news will spread to Nanjun. The war is imminent.
First, we will ask counties and counties to train soldiers quickly, and secondly, we will also ask local warehouses to stock up on military rations."
After saying this, Heifu raised his hand and said, "Master, please rest assured that my family has stocked up on thousands of stones of food in advance. Within this year, I will definitely be promoted to a public servant!"
According to Heifu's plan, even his elder brother Zhong and his sister-in-law can rely on Xiansu to be promoted to one rank each, because this may be the last chance...
With Hei Fu's guarantee, Yan Zheng no longer hesitated and immediately agreed to the marriage.
When Heifu went to the county town and told Jingshi about this, Jingshi was so happy that he ran and jumped two more times on the same spot, bowed to Heifu and said:
"Brother Zhong, you are really my great benefactor!"
Thinking of getting married soon to the little beauty that I have been coveting for two years, I was so surprised that I couldn't even open my mouth from ear to ear.
"Don't be too happy too early."
Hei Fu said: "I have discussed it with Mr. Yan. You and Lady Yan are still young. It will not be too late to wait for you to successfully graduate from school and get married in two years. If you get carried away and abandon your studies,
If you can’t get out of school..."
Hei Fu threatened with a straight face: "Yan Jun will break off the engagement!"
I was shocked and immediately swore to God that I would do my duty as a disciple and not delay my marriage.
"Brother Zhong, just wait. Once you become the leader, I will work as a calligrapher by your side! I will go on an expedition with you!"
He was surprised to hear that when he reached the level of a commander who commanded thousands of people, he had to carry some documents, swords, and pens with him. He really wanted to join the army in this capacity after completing his studies.
Heifu looked at his younger brother who was yearning for the war and felt a little helpless. He blamed Ji Ying for being such a big mouth. Their battle deeds on the front line had a great impact on Heifu, making him full of curiosity and expectations about military life.
In the eyes of this young man, war seems to be a great adventure, a wonderful journey away from daily life, where he can witness wonders and win wealth and glory.
He had no idea that it was a hell full of stench, with feces and urine flowing everywhere, blood dripping, and life like grass.
"My stupid brother."
Heifu thought this way: "The reason why I tricked you into the school and stayed there for three years is to ensure that you stay away from the war and save this little life?"
So Heifu said: "Brother, I won't stand still and wait for you."
He took out a wooden slip from his arms and handed it to Jing. Heifucai had taken it from the county lieutenant's office.
"I'm leaving again."
"Where...are you going?" He was a little confused. Brother Zhong had only been back for more than half a month, hadn't he? It was only when he opened the wooden slip that his eyes widened.
"This is an order from the county!"
Heifu smiled and said: "Yes, the county captain conscripted me and asked me to serve as the county soldier cao! The county order cannot be violated, I have agreed! I will set off to Jiangling City to take up my post the day after tomorrow!"
…
At the same time, Zuo Wei Yunman also received news that was like a bolt from the blue...
Looking at the gifts in front of him that had been returned by the county meritorious officer, Yun Man's face turned green and white, and he just sat there, looking at these fine silks, gold and silver, in a daze.
Until his nephew Yun Xiong responded to the call, Yun Man threw the county meritorious officer's reply letter at his nephew Yun Xiong's feet!
"See for yourself! Look at your clever plan!"
Yun Xiong was also horrified. He picked up the wooden slip and took a look, only to find that it was full of reprimands from meritorious officials.
The meritor said that the Yun family was so ignorant that they actually wanted him to hide the meritorious minister. Does this mean that the name of the meritorious minister Heifu was known to the king? What if the king asked Heifu about it on a whim one day?
Now in any job, what should I do?
The meritorious officer also said that after the new county captain took office, the first thing he did was to recruit Heifu to serve in Jiangling City. At this critical moment, Yun wrote such a letter to him. What was his intention? It was to drive a wedge between him and his background.
Is the profound county lieutenant facing the enemy?
"New lieutenant? Could it be that..."
Yun Xiong looked at his uncle with a pale face, only to see Yun Man slumped down on the table and said desperately:
"Li You, Zuo Shu Zhang Li You is the new Nanjun Commandery!"
