——

Early this morning, Shang Zheng, the county chief, and Shi Chenyi, the county chief hurriedly came to the Caoyuan of the Prefect's Mansion.

The name of Caoyuan is the hospital, but there is actually more than one hospital. To be precise, it should be called "Cao District".

There is a gate outside the Cao District. Entering the gate, there is a straight stone road, and on both sides of the road, there are various Cao's offices. Compared with the "Cao District" in the county temple, the "Cao District" in the Prefect's Mansion is much larger, and the distribution of Cao is also quite different from the distribution of Cao in the county temple. Temple officials often couldn't find where the specific Cao he was going to was.

Shang Zheng and Chen Yi were both county officials, but they didn't need to worry about this issue.

At this time, Cao's officials were all on duty.

Seeing the two of them coming, they hurriedly bowed down on the road outside to pay homage and make way for them, and in the courtyards of the roadside, some officials who were familiar with the two of them wanted to come out to say hello, but they didn't come out yet. When they got to the courtyard, the two of them hurried past the courtyard.

Chen Yi is young, this year is only twenty-four years old, and he has just entered the prefecture, so he may not pay much attention to "prestigious" at ordinary times. Shang Zheng is in his forties and has been in the prefecture for a long time. , is a pure Confucian, and has always been very particular about his words and deeds. There are very few times when he walks in a hurry and ignores his appearance like now, and the officials who are familiar with him are not surprised.

Where Chen and Shang passed by, many county officials gathered at the gates of each Cao's courtyard, either whispering or watching the direction they were going.

A lot of people realized that something big might be happening in the county.

Chen Yi and Shang Zheng didn't look sideways, and didn't notice the attention and whispers of the county officials.

Entering Cao Nei, Chen Yi took two steps and asked loudly, "Where is Luan Cao Ye?"

County bandit Cao is an important post in the county government. He is usually very busy. Although it is still in the morning, there are already some local officials in each Cao’s office, and some are reporting the results of the detection of a certain case in the county. , and some submitted a request for instructions.

There are several schools next to the gate of the Caoyuan. These rooms are used for the places where officials from various counties who come to the county to work in Caoli sit quietly and wait for their summons. There are also several people sitting in the school room.

Cao Cao in the prefecture is the office of the office, so loud noises are not allowed. Suddenly hearing Chen Yi speak so loudly, whether it is the county officials in the Cao's office or the county officials in the school room, they all turn their heads and look up.

Chen Yi was promoted by Xun Zhen as the main historian not long ago. After being promoted, he has not been to the county with Xun Zhen. Not many county officials knew him, and some of them whispered and said, "Who is this? Which county is it from? Just call Luan Cao Ye when you walk in?

The chief clerk was a close official of the chief official, and his status was not low, but his rank was not high. It is really surprising that a young "fighting clerk" came in and shouted for Cao Ye, who was looking for the county bandit Cao.

Few of the county officials knew Chen Yi, and quite a few knew Shang Zheng. Some people said, "Isn't that person behind you, Shang-Jun, the head of the house?"

"Shangjun came to Luan Caoyu, I don't know why?"

"Looking at him in a hurry, he seems to be in a hurry."

Chen Yi and Shang were waiting in the courtyard for a while, when Luan Gu came out of a Cao's room, went up to him, and welcomed the two of them into the room. There were originally two people in the Cao room, but after Shang Zheng and Chen Yi entered, the two immediately came out of the room.

Courageous and curious, he stepped forward and asked, "Why did the Master Chief come to Luan Cao Ye?"

The two of them looked inexplicable, and replied: "The master has entered the room, even if the two of us come out."

Hearing these words, the officials in the hospital became more and more certain that something big must have happened in the county, but what was the big thing?

Not long after, Shang Zheng, He Yi, and Luan Gu came out of the room.

Luan Gu stood in front of the door, holding a roll of bamboo slips, and said to Shang Zheng and He Yi: "Shang Zheng, He Jun, please tell the Fu Jun, Gu will do this now!"

Shang Zheng instructed: "It's important, don't be careless."

Luan Gu responded sullenly: "No."

Shang Zheng nodded, looked at the officials who were watching from a distance in the lower court, and said to Luan Gu, "Wang Gong, Cao Pingfu, has gone to the camp outside the county. The matter is done well! Time is running out, you don't have to send me, call someone to do it now, and Chen Jun and I will go back to the government and pay the order."

Luan Gu replied, "Yes."

Shang Zheng and Chen Yi turned around to press their swords and strode away.

Several officials of the county bandit Cao had been very curious for a long time. After waiting for Shang Zheng and Chen Yi to leave, they couldn't hold it in any longer. They hurriedly got close to Luan Gu and asked one of them, "What order did the lord of the government pass down? What to do?"

"Last night, Li Xiang, the guardian of Fanyang, was stabbed in the house."

When the officials heard the words, they were all surprised, and one asked, "I was assassinated in the house? Did you die?"

"died."

"Who is the assassin? Have you caught it?"

"Shou Fanyang Chief Xuan Kang Fei wrote an urgent report, saying that two days before Li Xiang was assassinated, Li Hu, the prefect of the county, sent an assistant to meet him. Li Xiang had a dispute with this assistant, and the assistant threatened him at the time. Li Xiang said, "If you don't agree to the request of the governor, then Li Xiang's death is just around the corner."

The officials looked at each other in dismay, and one said, "Is it an assassin from Li Cheng's faction?"

"The one who assassinated Li Xiang was the officer Li Hu sent to meet him, and he has been captured."

All the officials changed their expressions in horror. The county chief sent someone to assassinate the governor in the county, which was shocking.

Luan Gu raised the bamboo slips in his hand, looked around the officials sharply, and said loudly: "The government has issued an order: I order Cao to arrest Li Hu immediately! Please listen to the order..."

The officials suppressed the shock in their hearts, and bowed in response: "The officials are waiting."

"Immediately order Qi officials to die, leave the house, and capture Li Hu!"

"promise."

...

Shang Zheng and He Yi returned to the hall and handed in the order to Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen asked, "Have Luan Cao Ye received the order?"

"The order has been received!"

"Okay, then send this order to Huo Caoye." Xun Zhen picked up another roll of order from the case and handed it to Shang Zheng.

Shang Zheng and He Yi replied, "No."

Seeing Shang Zheng and He Yi holding their orders out, Cheng Jia, who was sitting in the hall, turned his face and said to Xun Zhen with a smile, "If it is as Junhou expected, Luan Gu will accept the order to arrest Li Hu without hesitation. Order, the matter planned by the lord and lord has become six points. As long as Huo Heng takes over the order of the lord, the big thing can be accomplished."

Xun Zhen smiled slightly, without answering, and looked outside the hall.

Li Xiang and Li Hu's assistant had a dispute, and Li Hu's assistant threatened Li Xiang and assassinated him. These two things were fabricated by Xun Zhen, which is exactly what Xun Zhen planned to "turn passive into active" .

To turn passive into active, there is only one way, and that is to "counterattack", and this "counterattack" is even more severe, and it will hit Zhao Ran's key point at once, so that he can no longer bother to find Xun Zhen.

To achieve this effect, "framing Li Hu and killing Li Xiang" is the best choice.

Li Hu was Zhao Ran's competent lackey in the county. If Zhao Ran and Li Hu were completely unprepared to catch Li Hu, Zhao Ran would be shocked and confused, thus turning passive into active.

And, there's more than just this benefit.

After Li Xiang died, Zhao Ran would definitely be suspicious, and would judge that this was done by someone Xun Zhen sent, and he would probably take the opportunity to make trouble and attack Xun Zhen. Now, Xun Zhen said that Li Hu sent someone to kill Li. Xiang, the focus of the conflict was shifted to Li Hu at once, so as to avoid the trouble of being attacked by Zhao Ran, which was the second benefit.

The most important thing is that Li Xiang's stabbed is framed on Li Hu's head. Although it will be surprising to say it, it will not make people suspicious when you think about it.

Li Xiang was Xun Zhen's cronies, Li Hu was Zhao Ran's cronies, Xun Zhen and Zhao Ran had a fierce conflict, Li Hu sent someone to bribe Li Xiang. It makes perfect sense to just kill him in the end.

In this whole matter, as long as one key point is grasped and handled well, the matter can be turned into an iron case.

This key point is not Li Hu, nor Li Xiang, but the assistant Li Hu sent to see Li Xiang.

This official was secretly arrested by Cheng Jia the night before Xun Cheng sent someone to assassinate Li Xiang. The reason why he was arrested so early was to cooperate with "Li Xiang was stabbed to death". At the time, this assistant was in Ye County, and Li Xiang was in Fanyang, not in the same county. If this assistant was not caught early, he would have evidence of his alibi.

To be honest, Xun Zhen had two worries before this, one was Luan Gu and the other was Huo Heng.

Although he was very confident in front of Cheng Jia, saying that Luan Gu and Huo Heng would never disobey his orders, but Luan Gu and Huo Heng had a short time to be under him, although according to the usual judgment, these two Personally, like Chen Yi and Shang Zheng, they hated the **** and his family, but Li Hu was the county magistrate, the imperial court commander of six hundred stones. In Li Hu's words, "a doctor in the middle and lower levels of the court", with a much higher rank and status. Yu Luangu and Huo Heng are "deputies of a county". Whether Luan Gu dares to arrest him or whether Huo Heng dares to interrogate him is not a good idea.

After receiving the orders from Shang Zheng and He Yi, Xun Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Luan Gu accepted her order without any hesitation.

As long as Luan Gu is willing to accept the order, Huo Heng can talk about it. Even if Huo Heng refuses to accept the order, Xun Zhen can choose another person from Cao Li to interrogate Li Hu, or simply interrogate Li Hu in person.

In order to prevent Luan Gu from not accepting the order, he originally arranged a back-up, that is, the magistrate of Ye County would lead someone to cooperate with Dian Wei to arrest Li Hu. Now that Luan Gu has accepted the order, there is no need to send Ye County anymore. The magistrate and Dian Wei went.

He looked outside the hall for a while, turned his eyes back, and asked Cheng Jia, "Have you made arrangements for that 'assassin' Li Xiang's assistant?"

"Don't worry, lord, you are safe."

"Oh?"

"There are two servants under my sect who are very good at interrogation and torture, and at noon, they will definitely be able to get the confession of this assistant."

"Okay."

As long as we can get the confession that the assistant "stabbed Li Xiang to death by order of Li Hu", and the person Xun Cheng sent to assassinate Li Xiang used this assistant's saber~www.wuxiaspot.com~the weapon" In addition, the guards in Ye County "witnessed" that he left Ye County in the evening the day before Li Xiang was assassinated, while the guards in Fanyang County "witnessed" him again at noon the next day, the day Li Xiang was assassinated. By the time he entered the city and the testimony of two "witnesses" in Li Xiang's house, the case was an ironclad case.

Not long after, Shang Zheng and Chen Yi came to report again: "Huo Caoyu took over the order from the lord of the government."

When Xun Zhen heard this, her face was sinking like water, her heart was overjoyed, and she said, "Luan Gu and Huo Heng can use it with confidence!"

To be honest, the arrest and interrogation of Li Hu, even without Luan Gu and Huo Heng, Xun Zhen could have done it. Xun Cheng and others went to handle the matter in person, and the reason why the order was passed on to these two people was first to be more legal "in terms of procedures", and second, to test whether these two people could be trusted, and for the next step in the future." "Zhu Zhao" to warm up, if the two of them can accept the order without hesitation and go to arrest Li Hu, then they can be trusted in Zhu Zhao. - Li Hu is "the court ordering", "" Deputy of a county", Zhao Ran's confidant and minion, if the two of them dare to arrest Li Hu, then the two of them will also dare to arrest Zhao Ran.

Xun Zhen instructed: "Er Qing has worked hard, ... Li Hu was taken, Zhao Ran may have trouble, please go to see the Zhao family again?"

Shang Zheng and Chen Yi agreed, left the hall, went down the stairs, and strode away again.

Cheng Jia said: "Li Hu is Zhao Ran's capable lackey. Now that he is suddenly taken, what is Zhao Ran's reaction?" (To be continued)
