Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Seeing the Chu-style armor thrown at his feet, Feng You's always calm expression changed for the first time.

However, he hid it very well. His eyes flashed several times in succession. Suddenly, he pretended to be confused and asked, "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I don't quite understand what the Sheriff meant."

Seeing Feng You trying to pretend to be stupid, Mr. Mo also laughed, touched the mane of the horse that sat down, and said: "Haha~~ It seems that the head of the Feng family is indeed old. Forget it! Then let me give Feng a little care. Master, please give me some tips!"

"A year ago, I encountered a little trouble. I believe that the head of the Feng family has also heard about it."

Feng You nodded and replied: "I have heard a little about the merits of the Governor of Qin."

Feng You admitted this matter very simply. Pretending to be stupid is also a technical job. Some things can be pretended to fool others. But if you insist on pretending to do something that is too obvious, you will be treating others as fools.

Seeing Feng You's straightforward admission, Mo Jun also continued: "Since the Feng family master knows about this, he must also know that in order to protect me, the Nanjun County Lieutenant specially sent a team of elite soldiers to guard the governor's mansion. .”

Feng You continued to nod and said: "General Meng's importance to the county governor is now well known to everyone in the world."

Lord Mo said calmly: "Does Master Feng know how those assassins broke through the defense of Qin's elite soldiers and sneaked into the inner courtyard where I am?"

Feng You shook his head in confusion and replied: "This, I really didn't know about this."

Mr. Mo chuckled, and then stopped trying to show off. He jumped off the horse with a light body, slowly came to Feng You, and said: "That's because there are traitors in my Nanjun! Those traitors I actually secretly helped the people of the Chu State and transported fifty sets of Chu State's fine battle armor into the capital of Ying. This blocked our Qin State's elite soldiers and allowed assassins from all over the world to sneak into my Lord's inner courtyard smoothly."

"Master Feng, tell me... what kind of person can cross the border and secretly transport fifty sets of high-quality armors into Yingdu without telling the city guards?"

As the last word fell, a dangerous cold light suddenly flashed across Mo Jun's eyes.

Throughout the ages.

All feudal dynasties did not have strict jurisdiction over weapons such as swords.

But armor is different. Qin law stipulates that any private possession of privately made armor, even just one, will be regarded as treason.

The city gate guards of Yingdu might dare to accept some small favors, help others steal some small taxes, and do some small things. But they would never dare to put fifty sets of fine armor into Yingdu, because if caught, it would be a major crime for the Yi tribe.

Therefore, anyone who can bring fifty sets of armor into Nanjun, or even into the county governor's mansion, must have extraordinary energy in Nanjun.

As for those in Nanjun who have such energy and are willing to take this risk for the Chu State, after much thought, it is basically impossible to have another candidate besides the four major clans.

Since Mr. Mo dared to directly lead the army to surround the Feng Mansion today, he naturally couldn't just want to simply 'frame up'. It's not that this trick can't be used, but that Mr. Mo's power has not reached that level yet.

The backing of the four major clans in the Qin State is the Queen Mother Huayang, and the Queen Mother Huayang is the grandmother of the current Qin King Ying Zheng. This is a very thick thigh, so thick that even Ying Zheng is quite afraid.

Therefore, if there is no sufficient reason, anyone who attacks the four major clans without any reason will face a violent backlash.

This was also when Meng Wu knew that the four major clans planned to not sell the grain to the people of Nanjun at this critical moment, but to transport it to Chu State, Meng Wu had no choice but to come up with the idea of ​​'tampering in secret' The reason for the conspiracy.

But if there's a good reason, that's another story.

After listening to Mr. Mo’s words.

Feng You was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and smiled at him, saying: "The Sheriff's speculation is indeed wonderful, but it's a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that you have forgotten the most important point, which is the evidence."

Feng You grinned at Lord Mo with an extremely arrogant smile and said, "I wonder if your Excellency has any evidence to prove that your assassination is related to my Feng family?"

At this point, Feng You had actually indirectly admitted that the fifty sets of armor were delivered by him, but he firmly believed that Mr. Mo had no evidence at this time.

Because all the hands and tails who transported the fifty sets of armor had already been cleaned up by their four major clans.

After listening to Feng You's words, Mo Jun looked at him for a while, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said: "Pfft~~~ Master Feng, you are so smart in your life, but you were so confused for a moment!"

Seeing Mr. Mo's smile, Feng You's expression suddenly froze, and an uneasy premonition suddenly surged out of his heart. He subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

Mr. Mo stopped smiling, and slowly revealed a cruel and cold arc at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "What do you mean? Master Feng, don't you understand? You don't think that I will bring so many troops here tonight." Feng Mansion, I really want to tell you the evidence!"

Seeing Lord Mo's expression, Feng You seemed to realize something, his expression changed completely, and even his voice couldn't help but become sharp, and he said in shock: "Jun Mo, are you crazy? Do you dare to attack my Feng family?" Take action? Have you thought about the consequences of doing so! The Queen Mother Huayang and the Chu State will not let it go..."

Phew~

Feng You didn't finish speaking.

Suddenly there was a slight 'sound' in his ears, and then Feng You felt a chill in his chest. He looked down and saw a copper sword piercing his chest from the front, and the hilt of the copper sword was shocked. It was Mo Jun's white and flawless palm.

"you······"

Feng You's pupils suddenly dilated, and he raised one hand tremblingly, pointing at Mr. Mo opposite him, his eyes full of shock, fear, and disbelief.

It seemed that he never expected that Lord Mo would really dare to kill him, and actually dare to take action against the Feng clan.

However, facing Feng You's gaze, the smile on the corner of Mo Jun's mouth became colder. He slowly leaned into Feng You's ear and said, "You still don't understand! Master Feng."

"If you are just smuggling armor, I can't touch you in a short period of time. After all, I have a reason but no evidence. If you are just smuggling armor at this time, I can't touch you either, because I have evidence but no reason. "

"But you shouldn't have done it at all. You shouldn't have done the two things at the same time, and they both just caused trouble for me."

"Do you know what the king said to me when I came to Nanjun this time?"

"Cheap... act!"

After hearing Mo Jun say the last four words, Feng You's weak eyes suddenly shrank to a point.

The handling of cases emphasizes cause and effect.

Under normal circumstances, the reason for handling a certain case is the cause, and the evidence that determines the case is the effect.

In fact, Mr. Mo did not expect to fall out with the four major clans so soon. After all, the four major clans are really difficult to move. Their influence in Nan County is deeply entangled, and they have the Queen Mother Huayang as their backer. It is not easy to move them.

Therefore, Mr. Mo had always kept the fifty sets of Chu armors with Meng Wu. He did not intend to use them now, but planned to keep them for now and find an opportunity to settle the score later.

After all, although there is a reason to handle this matter, without 'evidence', Mr. Mo can only be cautious even if he wants to investigate, because if he cannot find enough evidence in the end, Mr. Mo will not only alert the snake, but may even be bitten.

But they never expected that during the flood in Nanjun, the four major clans not only stocked up on food, but also planned to send Qin's food to Chu for disaster relief. This behavior undoubtedly offended Ying Zheng.

"Smuggled Armor" has a reason.

There is evidence for "gathering grain to help the enemy".

Although the 'cause and effect' of the two are not connected, Mr. Mo happens to have the right to 'act expediently' given by Ying Zheng.

In this way, Mr. Mo was given the right to handle the case in an open and honest manner. As for the incriminating evidence afterwards, hehe, how many of these so-called old nobles of Chu can really stand up to investigation?

Although his vitality has disappeared rapidly, perhaps because of the flashback, Feng You's thinking is clearer than before. In almost an instant, he figured out all the connections in this matter.

The so-called 'smuggling of armor' is simply an excuse. The other party's goal is still food for the Feng family.

After thinking about it, a great fear suddenly emerged in Feng You's heart: "You are seeking death. Even if you succeed in this matter, the Queen Mother will not let you go, and Ying Zheng will not be able to save you." ·····”

Mo Jun chuckled and said, "Master Feng doesn't have to worry about my fate."

Lord Mo naturally knew that after this incident, he would inevitably face revenge from the Queen Mother Huayang and other forces from the Chu Kingdom.

This kind of revenge is a matter of position and has nothing to do with right or wrong.

However, there are strong and weak forms of revenge.

If he was in the wrong this time, for example, if he took down the four major clans by 'framing up', then even if Ying Zheng was willing to protect Lord Mo, and considering Lord Mo's contribution, he would still have to pay a certain price.

Because a mistake is a mistake, and sometimes the merits and demerits cannot be offset.

However, in this operation, I used the words "just and fair" to describe myself. In this way, relying on his great achievements of "improving rice seeds and doubling the yield", if the other party dares to retaliate at this time, Mr. Mo can use his backhand to hit him with a big force.

"Wait~~"

Seeing that Mr. Mo's clothes were full of grease and salt, Feng You could only choose to give in. He took the initiative to stop Mr. Mo and said sadly: "I can give you the food. And the Feng family can also help you with any subsequent troubles." You solve it, I just ask you... to let the other members of the Feng family go."

It was obviously very difficult for Feng You, the leader of the Feng family who had been noble all his life, to ask for help in such a low voice. Just one sentence seemed to drain all of Feng You's energy in an instant.

However, facing Feng You's plea, Mr. Mo just glanced at him indifferently and said, "It's a pity that you said this too late."

The next second.

Mo Jun suddenly pulled out the long sword that had pierced Feng's right chest, waved it lightly, and coldly ordered at the black-armored soldiers: "Kill, no one will be spared!"

The long sword on his chest was pulled out, and Feng You's life force suddenly dissipated at a faster speed. But just a second before he died, after hearing Lord Mo's order, Feng You's old body suddenly shook with resentment. He looked at Mr. Mo and said: "You... are so cruel!"
