Chapter 1071 Comprehensive Inventory
“King Feng Gui had a premeditated plan...”
“Nonsense, even a pig can see it now!”
The voice suddenly became louder and he said excitedly:
"I mean he had a plan from the day he entered Liangzhou!"
The listener still had a faint tone:
"I think he had already made a plan before he entered Liangzhou. How many families had secret contacts with Longyou Hanzhong back then?"
Perhaps from that time on, King Feng Gui was already planning how to divide Liangzhou.
This isn’t it, it’s only been a few years?
Not to mention those who stood by and watched, even the Qianghu who had never been able to withstand agitation, now there is no movement.
Occasionally, I was tempted. Once I learned that there were armored cavalry, I immediately turned my face on the spot. I put the people sent to lobby in sacks and sent them to the government.
Euphemistically called capturing the traitor for meritorious service—the sack covering the traitor’s head was made in Nanxiang!
Who are you going to reason with?
People's hearts are scattered. There is no longer the lively excitement of the past.
At that time, Duke Zhang, even after he became the governor of Wei, was unwilling to leave Liangzhou and go to Luoyang for some reason.
And now?
The Zhang family is determined to become the lackeys of the Han Kingdom.
"This court is holding a butcher's knife in one hand and a ticket in the other, forcing everyone to stand in line! Those who want to get the tickets are many, but those who dare to use the butcher's knife are few!"
This nonsense made the people next to me roll their eyes.
If it weren’t for the children in my family, I would be willing to take the money...
If there were no **** examples before, maybe someone would still be willing to give it a try.
But now, seeing that the government dared to be ruthless and slaughter two families, they did not care about the possible unrest in Liangzhou.
Even before the butcher's knife was raised above his head, someone was already beating a drum in his heart.
When it comes to the final moment, I wonder how many people present have the courage to drag the entire clan to bury a few unworthy members of the clan?
“The Zhang family has said that we should send the people out within a month. One month means that the government is not afraid of the people running away, let alone that we will..."
The last word was not spoken, but everyone knew what he was going to say.
Whether you want to rebel or do something righteous, if you have the ability, just stand in the way.
If you can’t stop it, you will exterminate the entire clan.
This is the attitude of the government.
He simply didn’t take Liangzhou’s century-old chaos into consideration, it was too much to bully others!
Compared to Zhao Guang, who caused a **** storm in Liangzhou, Li Yi seems to be much more low-key.
After the death of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's Mansion naturally ceased to exist. Li Yi, who joined the army as the Prime Minister's Mansion, transferred to the Shangshutai as a Shang Shulang.
It's just that Shangshu ordered Jiang Wan to have his own team when he stayed in Jincheng.
Now naturally all of them have been brought to Hanzhong.
In addition, Shangshutai officially succeeded the Prime Minister's Office and had just assumed the responsibility of handling all government affairs. The various households had not yet stabilized, and it was relatively chaotic for a while.
Li Yi was transferred from the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and has been somewhat idle these days.
Unexpectedly, one day, Shangshutai suddenly received a letter from General Zhendong sent from Guanzhong.
It is said that he hopes to send Li Yi to Jincheng to coordinate the problem of Dongfeng Express's transshipment of grain and grass.
Every time there is a war, the Xinghan Society will assist the court in moving part of the food and grass. This is already a common practice.
In addition, Feng Zhendong is the leader of the Xinghan Hui and is now on the front line, commanding the army.
As a minister, he personally asked Li Yi to go, so Jiang Wan naturally had no reason to stop him.
"Guanzhong is where the old capital of the Han Dynasty is located, so the matter of food and fodder for the army is a top priority. Shangshulang must not neglect it when he arrives in Jincheng."
Before leaving, Jiang Wan also gave some earnest instructions.
Although the war has subsided for half a year, the Wei thieves are eyeing the east and must be careful.
Jiang Wan knew that Li Yi's status in the Xinghan Society was not low, so he sent him to Jincheng to coordinate. He believed that he was the most suitable candidate.
After Li Yi agreed, he returned to his mansion, packed his luggage, said goodbye to his wife and children, and headed for Jincheng.
He seemed relaxed on the surface, but after leaving Hanzhong, he suddenly accelerated his pace, hurrying and slowing all the way. In less than ten days, he arrived at Jincheng.
“Wenxuan, we meet again!”
Outside Jincheng, there were already carriages and horses waiting.
Seeing the somewhat dusty Li Yi, someone from a distance smiled and shouted loudly.
Li Yi saw the person he was greeting clearly, and immediately walked a few steps quickly to greet him:
“Weizhe, how did you know that I arrived in Jincheng today?”
"I've been sending people out front to find out the news these days, just because I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up."
Deng Liang, who had been guarding the Jincheng Hall of the Xinghan Hui, smiled and held hands with Li Yi:
“When I saw you, my heart dropped by half.”
Over the years, every time there was a war in the court, Li Yi was either sent by the Prime Minister to Liangzhou, Longyou to contact Feng Junhou, or he was sent to Jincheng to coordinate the operation of grain and grass.
So this is not the first time that Li Yi and Deng Liang have collaborated, and they are very familiar with each other.
Hearing Deng Liang’s words, Li Yi also sighed:
"Weizhe and I have the same worries. I'm just afraid that Weizhe will go to Nanzhong before we get to Jincheng."
In a few words, the two of them saw the pressure underneath the seemingly relaxed look in the other's expression.
“Let’s go, let’s go back first.”
“Also good.”
Getting on the carriage, instead of entering the city, he walked around the city wall and went to the Xinghanhui Wharf Warehouse outside Jincheng.
After so many years of construction, this place has almost become a satellite city of Jincheng.
Countless goods are loaded onto and unloaded from ships here, either transported to Jincheng, or to Nanzhong, or to Hanzhong, or to Yong'an.
Xinghan Hui Warehouse, named Warehouse, is actually a large market integrating trade, entertainment, food, drink and fun. It is really lively.
The carriage entered the guesthouse dedicated to the Xinghan Club. The two got out of the carriage and walked into an elegant small courtyard.
The bustle outside was suddenly isolated from the outside.
The exquisite little house has already put out wine and food.
Wine is good wine, not only mead, fruit wine, but also peach wine.
Only no strong liquor, which no one except the northern barbarians likes to drink.
Everyone still likes to drink some soft wine.
Vegetables are even more delicious and can be prepared steamed, stir-fried or fried.
A maid came up with a basin. Li Yi picked up the soap and washed his hands, then wiped away the water before sitting down.
Poured the wine, ate a few more bites of food, and then breathed out comfortably:
"In the past half month, in order to rush on the road, I haven't eaten hot food a few times. Wei Zhe knows me, knows me!"
“Hahaha... come on, have a drink!”
“Okay, please.”
After three rounds of drinking, Deng Liang asked the servant to go out.
Then he looked at Li Yi, with a slightly solemn look on his face, and asked:
"Wenxuan, what happened to my brother this time? How could it be..."
Li Yi was half full after eating, and finally slowed down. He took a mouthful of vegetables and chewed it. After swallowing, he replied:
“What did brother tell Zhewei in the letter?”
"He just asked me to check the Nanzhong branch to see if there is anything that violates the rules."
Li Yi nodded:
“Brother told me the same thing when he asked me to come to Jincheng.”
Although they had already had a premonition, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little surprised and even shocked when they confirmed each other.
“Brother, why is this?”
Deng Liang said with some hesitation.
Li Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know."
He pointed to himself: "My ancestral home is Nanzhong. Logically speaking, I am more familiar with Nanzhong than you are."
Then he pointed at Deng Liang, "As for this part of Jincheng, you have been here for more than ten years. You are more familiar with it than I am, but brother..."
But the elder brother just asked the two to switch positions.
Does this mean you don't trust them?
Deng Liang hesitated to speak. Li Yi seemed to understand his thoughts and consoled him:
"Weizhe doesn't have to be like this. My brother's arrangement must be intentional."
"Oh?" Deng Liang looked at Li Yi, "From Wenxuan's point of view, what do you mean by this, brother?"
Li Yi poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, his face already turning reddish.
I don’t know whether it was due to the drunkenness or the help of the drunkenness, Li Yi spit out a breath of alcohol:
“Our Li family can be considered a bit thin in Nanzhong now. Although I went to Hanzhong to recuperate in my early years, most members of the Li family still stay in Nanzhong.”
“If something really happens over there in Nanzhong, I’m afraid there will be many uncles and elders who will come after me.”
“I feel embarrassed when I think about this situation...”
He looked at Deng Liang again:
“Weizhe has stayed in Jincheng for more than ten years, right?”
Li Yi stretched out his index finger and drew a circle in the air, "This area of Jincheng has a lot to do with it."
“If something is really found out and someone blames Weizhe, what are you going to do?”
Deng Liang poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip slowly, and then said:
"so serious?"
Li Yi smiled and shook his head:
“Weizhe, don’t underestimate this matter. You may not know that Zhao Erlang was sent to Liangzhou by his brother as early as a month ago.”
If you recognize the most important person in the Xinghan Association, except for the leader, Brother Feng.
Next are Zhao Guang, Li Yi and Deng Liang.
Liangzhou, Jincheng, and Nanzhong each sent one person there, which shows that they attach great importance to this matter.
Hearing this, Deng Liang nodded silently.
Li Yi saw him like this and said one more sentence:
"Before I came here, I saw a document at the Shangshutai, which was transferred from Guanzhong."
Deng Liang raised his head and looked at Li Yi.
“Brother transferred three thousand armored cavalry troops to Liangzhou.”
“Poof!”
Deng Liang spit out the wine in his mouth and shouted, "Cavalry in armor?!"
At present, the Han Dynasty only has one armored cavalry army, and it is also the most powerful cavalry army in the world. This is the common understanding of the entire Han Dynasty.
Perhaps this is also the perception of people all over the world.
It may be an exaggeration to say that one horse is equal to a thousand, but to say that one horse is equal to ten is to underestimate it.
Just... Why do we need to mobilize the armored cavalry to investigate the internal affairs of the Xinghan Society?
“Wenxuan, remember to talk about the most important things up front in the future!”
Deng Liang was so excited that he almost overturned the table and looked at Li Yi fiercely.
Looking around to make sure no one heard him, he moved closer to Li Yi and breathed on the smell of alcohol, but did not forget to lower his voice:
“Brother, are you really okay?”
“Brother, if something happens, can you mobilize the armored cavalry? It’s Liangzhou that should be worried.”
Li Yi smiled lightly, raised his neck and drank another glass of wine.
Deng Liang breathed a sigh of relief, sat back, and drank a drink too:
“Liangzhou, what happened?”
This matter, other people may not know about it.
But Li Yi would not have known it.
Deng Liang is sure of this.
Sure enough, Li Yi replied:
“Last year, my brother was leading the troops on the Guanzhong front line, and someone in Liangzhou crossed the line.”
Deng Liang frowned. What line had he crossed to use the armored cavalry?
It can’t be a rebellion, right?
No matter how powerful the old soldiers in the guild are, they don't have crossbows or armor, so they won't be able to use Zhao 3,000 and 3,000 armored cavalry.
Could it be that the Liangzhou branch had a peerless general who was comparable to his brother and led his people to rebel?
“Liangzhou is powerful.”
Li Yixi's words were like gold and he spat out four more words.
This time, Deng Liang finally understood. He shook the cup in his hand and nodded: "He deserves to be killed!"
This is to destroy the foundation of the Xinghan Society.
Failing to kill is not enough to deter future generations.
“Say it.”
Deng Liang was stunned: "What?"
“Jinchengtangkou, do you need to remind me?”
Deng Liang was stunned again, then laughed and pointed at Li Yi:
“You, you.”
Then he shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. I can only guarantee that there shouldn't be any problems with the people in this warehouse."
"After leaving this warehouse, I can't guarantee it. You can check it yourself and do whatever you find. Don't worry about me."
It has been more than ten years, and it would be a lie to say that there is no human relationship.
But Deng Liang only dared to say that he could only guarantee the people in the warehouse.
And he didn't expect that one day, a cavalry force would suddenly arrive outside Jincheng.
At this moment, he finally understood why his brother wanted him and Li Wenxuan to investigate.
It’s not that they can’t be trusted, but it’s to keep them out of trouble.
The knot in my heart was finally untied.
He drank another drink and said somewhat relaxedly:
"I will set off tomorrow to Nanzhong. What about you, do you have anything to tell me?"
Compared to Li Yi, who had already inherited the title, Deng Liang's eldest son Deng Zhi had always been in good health, and he had the support of Xinghanhui and his elder brother.
In order to take care of his old mother who stayed in Jincheng, he never entered the official position.
At the moment, as long as someone is arranged to take care of my mother, she can leave as soon as she wants, but it is much more convenient than Li Wei who has an official position.
Li Yi also shook his head: "No."
Xing Hanhui developed Nanzhong, and the Li family, as a local leader, naturally mixed in many industries.
But for Li Yi, even if something really went wrong over in Nanzhong, it would not be difficult to have a righteous extermination of relatives.
After all, he and his younger brother Li Qiu have already joined the government. As long as his two brothers are fine, the Li family will not fall.
Besides, it’s not necessarily a good thing if the branches and leaves of trees grow too lush.
With occasional pruning, the main trunk may grow better.
In the face of major issues of right and wrong, when it comes to political alignment, do you have the same surname as me?
"The prime minister has passed away, and the news should have spread throughout Nanzhong by now. No one can say whether the Yi people have other ideas."
“If something goes wrong, there are two people who must be trustworthy, and one of them is Zhuge Bosong.”
When the prime minister passed away, he made a will not to allow his family to go to Guanzhong for funeral, so Zhuge Bosong still stayed in Nanzhong.
Deng Liang listened to Li Wei’s instructions, nodded his head to express his understanding, and then asked: “Is there another one?”
“Meng Huo’s daughter, the flower lady.”
"oh…"
Understood.
Deng Liang hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask:
“What should I do over there in Yuexun?”
Although Yuexun also belongs to Nanzhong, it is more special.
"My elder brother has invited Zushi (Wang Xun) to be the governor of Liang, and Yizhi (Huang Chong) to be the governor of Yuexun."
Huang Yizhi will definitely conduct an inventory immediately when he takes office.
“The court agreed?”
“I agreed because my brother didn’t say who would succeed Nanxiang County Magistrate.”
If he didn’t say anything, it would be left to the court to arrange.
Exchanging a county magistrate for a prefect to lengthen the history seems to be a big profit.
But if this county is Nanxiang County, that is a different matter.
It is estimated that even if Feng Junhou recommends one more border county governor, the court may be willing to do so.
“Here’s a lot of blood.”
Deng Liang sighed, "Brother, for the future of us brothers, you have done your best to be kind and righteous."
Li Yi nodded in agreement, and then added:
“But it’s time to let Nanxiang go.”
The Prime Minister is gone and the world has changed.
