Three Kingdoms

Dali Temple.

"What? Is this the end? ” Li Er was startled.

Sima Yi nodded slightly.

"Uh, what..." Li Er suspected that there was something wrong with his ears for a while, "Dali Qing, is this the case?" 』

Li Er's heart was beating wildly. At this moment, he was just worried that the hussar was chasing closely, so he suggested that Sima Yi could use the little thief to hit him first, at least to prove that he was doing something and not just a freeloader. Unexpectedly, Sima Yi directly said that he wanted to get married, and he immediately His expression changed.

"Dali Qing..." Li Er said a little cautiously, "Is it a little bit...well, the official said, is it a little hasty to get married so quickly?" 』

"It doesn't matter..." Sima Yi still smiled and said, "It's over." Could you please send someone to send the body and everything to the Yizhuang outside the city... In addition, a certain person will ask Dali Temple to issue a notice saying that the thief is seeking wealth and killing, and will be imprisoned in Dali Temple and will be executed in the autumn. 』

"This..." Li Er was stunned. Is Sima Yi really going to do this? Didn't Sima Yi already say before that he was not that money-greedy guy? Why are you saying it's him now? What causes this? Anyone heard about it?

Sima Yi glanced at Li Er and said, "If Captain Li doesn't want to do it, I can let others go." 』

Li Er reacted immediately, "I don't dare, I don't dare. I'll do it now." 』

However, as the leader of the inspection team, Li Er obviously did not have the authority to question the minister of Dali Temple, so he could only respond in confusion, then retreated and acted according to Sima Yi's instructions.

Of course, the innkeeper was so happy that he almost flew up on the spot, and then he hurriedly tried to give Li Er a red envelope, but Li Er refused.

Li Er had a cold face and didn't say much nonsense. He did as Sima Yi asked. Then he thought about it all the way and always felt that something was wrong, so he called in his subordinates halfway and gave some instructions.

Li Er's men nodded, turned around the street and walked away in different directions, heading straight to Chang'an Youwen Division.

……(???д???III)……

You Wensi.

After hearing Ma Gang's reply, Kan Ze's eyes moved slightly, "Is this what the Minister of Dali Temple said?" Nothing more to say? 』

Ma Gang lowered his head and replied, "No, that's all." 』

"Well..." Kan Ze nodded, "Okay, I understand." You... still follow the previous arrangement and explain it first..." Kan Ze obviously didn't want to explain anything to Ma Gang immediately. He asked Ma Gang to go ahead and come back later.

Ma Gang was confused, but he could only respond and retreat.

Kan Ze lowered his head and continued to comment on the documents on the table. After he finished writing, he put down his pen and said, "Come here, call Li Congcao." 』

Kan Ze probably guessed what Sima Yi meant.

"Report!" Maoling Inspection Team Li sent people here to see the director and report something important. 』

Li Congcao hadn't arrived yet, but Li Er's men arrived first.

Kanze thought for a moment, then nodded and let people pass in.

Not long after, Li Er's men came forward to pay homage to Kan Ze. Then, according to Li Er's instructions, they recounted what happened in Dali Temple before and after, and then asked Kan Ze what his instructions were on this matter...

Kan Ze smiled and said, "I'll tell you the team leader. I know this. Just do what the Minister of Dali Temple ordered. There's no need to worry about it." 』

Li Er's men bowed again and left.

You heard that Mr. Li from the Department had just walked through the corridor, then turned to look at Li Er's men who were leaving in a hurry. He raised his eyebrows slightly and bowed down to the hall. "I have met the Director. May I ask the Director if he has any questions?" What's the order? 』

Kanze waved and indicated, "Sit down first." 』

Li Chong went inside and sat down.

Kan Ze lowered his head and started writing. In a short time, he wrote a briefing, sealed it, covered it with fire paint, and sent it directly to the Husband's Mansion. After the messenger left, Kan Ze looked at Mr. Li for a while and said slowly: "The defense line you are responsible for is likely to have problems again..."

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What?" ! 』

……(·???·??)???……

Hussar Mansion.

Fei Qian frowned slightly as he looked at the summary of the documents sent almost from the front and back.

Not only did the Department of Information report it, but Dali Temple also reported relevant information.

Zhang Cun is a clown, and he is actually of little value whether he is alive or dead. But the problem now is that someone is taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Initially, Fei Qian thought that it was Zhang Cun who was causing trouble, but it turned out that it was not the case. Zhang Cun was just being taken advantage of.

"It's either Shandong... or it's..." Pang Tong shook his head, "There are more in Shandong." 』

"oh? Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tongyi and said, "You mean Zhou Gongjin is too busy now?" He is just sick, it’s not like he will be gone now..."

"Ah," Pang Tong clapped his hands, "My lord, when you say that, I'm not sure." 』

There are spies in Chang'an.

And it's not just one or two spies.

But the problem is that this thing is like weeds in a field. If you hoe it once today, it will quietly grow back in two days.

The big man doesn’t have paraquat. Moreover, even if paraquat is available in later generations, it will not work well. Once the effect of the drug wears off, the growth will continue as usual, and there will be many side effects. In later generations, when cameras were everywhere and people had to verify their identity one by one when entering and exiting customs, spies and spies still emerged in endlessly. What's more, in the Han Dynasty, which did not have imaging technology and timely information inquiry, it was basically impossible to completely eliminate spies. impossible.

As long as you clean it frequently, some fish may slip through the net.

"If Jiangdong wants to move eastward..." Pang Tongba smacked his lips and said, "Zhou Gongjin should be more concerned about Sichuan and Shu. After all, there is Jingzhou in the middle... But my lord, what you said actually makes some sense. , after all, things in the Western Regions seem to be bigger now. If Guanzhong is overwhelmed with the Western Regions, Jiangdong will naturally be more bold..."

Fei Qian nodded slightly.

"However, I still feel that the majority of those who care about us so much are probably Prime Minister Cao..." Pang Tong chuckled, "It's as if we also care about him... Prime Minister Cao, I'm afraid he can't even eat a few bowls of rice for the Lord." Everyone wants to know...haha..."

Fei Qian laughed and said, "Actually, I also want to know how many bowls of rice Cao Mengde can eat now..."

The monarch and his ministers burst into laughter.

Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?

After Cao Cao detected and captured some of Fei Qian's ambushes in Shandong, he did not relax because of this. Instead, he became more cautious. He did not even stay in Xu County and Yecheng for a long time, and did not talk to anyone in advance when coming or leaving. Tell me, maybe I was still in Yecheng yesterday, and today I arrived at the military camp outside the city, and then arrived in Xu County two days later. It was quite elusive.

In other words, as the proverb of later generations said about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived...

At the same time, Cao Cao's censorship of various places was also intensified. In particular, Youwensi, who followed Fei Qian's example, established a school affairs office, or it could also be called a school affairs office. There was a governor, a left and right lieutenant, and similar to other military offices, there was a chief minister and a lieutenant. Wait, and then recruited a lot of school officials and school officials. On the surface, it was for spying on the enemy, spying on the enemy, etc., but in fact, it also monitored and verified local officials.

The Youwen Division here in Feiqian used to have the function of monitoring and supervising local officials, but now it has handed over this part of the official work to the Examination Division, which not only dispersed the firepower, but also reduced the local officials' knowledge of Youwen. The hatred level of the company.

And the biggest difference is that Fei Qian's Youwen Division only has the power of spying and supervision, but does not have the power of law enforcement, while the School Affairs Bureau does.

Perhaps Cao Cao felt that centralizing power was not a problem?

Of course, there is another possibility that Cao Cao is worried about devolving this authority...

In history, people often say that Cao Cao "employs people without suspicion and does not use those who doubt", and then babbles about a lot of methods and methods used by the company to select talents. In fact, there are some discrepancies in their interpretation, and this sentence describing Cao Cao should be understood correctly. , cannot be read together, but must be viewed separately, that is, the first half of Cao Cao's words is "do not doubt the people you employ", and the second half is "do not use the people you doubt".

In the entrepreneurial period, winning over people's hearts and wooing younger brothers is the first factor.

For example, in history, Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao, and everyone advised Cao Cao to take action early. Guo Jia persuaded Cao Cao to "recruit heroes by being honest and trustworthy, but he is still afraid of them." "If you harm the virtuous in the name of it, the wise men will doubt themselves and change their minds to choose their master. Who will rule the world?" 』

Cao Cao was convinced.

As your business gets bigger, how to concentrate power on yourself and eliminate dissidents becomes more important than winning over people's hearts. In the second half of the period, Cao Cao's suspicious side came out...

In history, Cao Cao basically killed this and that, mostly in the second half.

Now that Cao Cao has killed Kong Rong, it is confirmed that Cao Cao has officially entered the second half...

"My lord..." Pang Tong stopped smiling, "Now this matter...my lord's intention is...for Sima Zhongda to just do this?" 』

"Hmm..." Fei Qian pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Does Shi Yuan have any better way?" 』

Sima Yi has been surrounded by various cases of corrupt officials for a while, and he seems to have been feeling aggrieved for a long time. Finally, he found a fun thing, which can be used as a way for Sima Yi to express himself?

Pang Tong pinched his chin, "It's okay, let him try it first..."

Fei Qian nodded and smiled slightly, "Then let him try it first." 』

……(＾－＾)~……

Maoling.

At the street corner notice board.

Notices of Zhang Cun's death were quickly posted.

Human nature is similar in that feudal dynasty. Greed and laziness are still two huge stones blocking the path forward for most people. Therefore, in Chang'an and the surrounding tombs, various vicious incidents still occur from time to time, including robbery, murder, and arson.

But like most criminal cases in later generations, the criminal is often close to the victim and has a certain degree of social relevance. Therefore, most of the time, with the victim as the center and expanding the screening outward layer by layer, some clues can be found in most criminal cases. In addition, it is obvious that no one can find the criminal methods of these ordinary criminal cases in the Han Dynasty. Some methods were learned from some criminal investigation movies and TV shows in later generations, so once the relevant suspects are found, they are often easier to detect.

After all, there is no such thing as a big man's suspicion of guilt, but that of suspicion of guilt.

There are indeed unjust cases, but they are not as many as imagined.

On the contrary, it is a stranger who commits the crime, which is the most difficult to crack.

Because the stranger's social relationship is basically very far away from the victim, and even completely out of the pursuer's thinking range, coupled with the flow of people...

Generally, when a major fatality occurs, the area is always sealed off as soon as possible, and then suspicious persons are searched within the area. This is considered a basic operation, but even so, it may not be possible to catch the big fish, because the murderer is very capable. He might have run away a long time ago.

However, when the notice is posted, it means that the entire incident has come to an end.

When people die, they die, and once they die, a hundred people die, while living people still live and are busy working.

Therefore, after the notice was posted, most people just said "Oh" and continued to work on their original matters.

The innkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his men to tidy up the room where Zhang Cun died. However, since there were no strong detergents in the Han Dynasty, the innkeeper was reluctant to fumigate the house with expensive spices to remove the smell of blood. After adding the death of a person, this room will also be considered a haunted house, and no one may dare to live in it, so it is equivalent to the innkeeper having to endure a long period of vacant houses...

This means that the innkeeper's interests are damaged, so the innkeeper hates the murderer more than anyone else, and also scolds Zhang Cun for bringing him trouble.

There was no grudge between the innkeeper and Zhang Cun before, but now there is.

"As I said, that guy is wearing bright clothes. Isn't he inviting thieves to himself?" ” The innkeeper tried to prove that he was also a victim, an innocent person implicated by Zhang Cun, an idiot. However, Zhang Cun’s death in the inn was not the inn’s fault, nor his problem. “Which place in this world will be free of thieves? Wandering around in this outfit and being noticed by thieves will mean death sooner or later, right? Therefore, it is better to be more honest and responsible! Everyone should keep a close eye on their belongings. If you have any problems, call the inspector as soon as possible! 』

Wealth is not revealed in vain.

This is a cliché.

Obviously, what the innkeeper said did make some sense.

The innkeeper sighed, thinking that this matter was basically over. After a while, everyone gradually forgot about this matter, at least after the smell of blood in the room receded, everything would return to peace.

However, the innkeeper soon realized that the trouble was not gone.

On the third day, guests who originally stayed near the rooms in Zhangcun asked to check out...

"What? Did you hear... someone crying in the room? There is still... there is..." The innkeeper's face trembled, and he did not dare to say the word on the edge of his mouth, "You guys, did you hear it correctly? In this bright world, in broad daylight, how could...what could be there? 』

"No during the day, but it's not broad daylight at night!" ” One guest obviously had dark circles under his eyes and said, “I can’t stay here anyway, so I’ll refund my money!” Get your money back! I want to live somewhere else! 』

Inn rentals are all short-term rentals. Some people pay once a day, and some pay once every three or five days. Therefore, if you want to pay back the money and leave, the innkeeper has no choice but to let him return the money and leave.

"This is impossible! ” The innkeeper gritted his teeth and denied, “There is no ghost at all! 』

Of course the innkeeper can't admit that there is a ghost. If he admits it, wouldn't the entire inn stop thinking about doing business?

In order to prove that the house where Zhang Cun died was normal, the innkeeper endured it, gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth, shook his legs and opened the lock on Zhang Cun's door, and then pushed the door open tremblingly... …

There was a strange creaking sound from the door, which made everyone present tremble. Even at noon, I seemed to feel some icy air coming out of the door, which made people's hair stand on end.

The innkeeper held the door frame, took a few quick breaths, and then stretched his head and took a look inside.

Everything is business as usual.

In addition to the dark marks on the ground that have not been completely removed, there is also the faint smell of blood inside the house.

"look! Nothing at all! "Seeing that there was no movement in the room for a long time, the innkeeper took a breath and his voice gradually became louder. He tried to prove that there were no ghosts in the house. "It must be just the sound of the night wind!" Look, there's nothing! 』

The innkeeper stood inside the house, waving his arms, wanting to invite more people to come in for verification, but most people stood at the door and peered in, not daring to go too far.

"boss! Do you only have the key to this room? "Someone in the crowd suddenly asked.

The innkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, I am the only one who has..."

"Since the door is always locked, that person can't get in...but there is a sound inside the house...unless..."

The innkeeper was shocked and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" 』

"I'm not talking nonsense, many people heard the sound!" It’s not there now, I can’t say it came out again at night! 』

The innkeeper became anxious, "No, absolutely not!" 』

"No matter, I want to check out now... As you said, I don't dare to stay anymore..."

"That's right, let's check out first!" 』

"It's always better to be careful..."

"Check out, check out!" 』

"Boss, please act more quickly and don't delay us in finding a place to live!" 』

However, as more and more people checked out and left, other guests who did not hear any cries and screams at night, but wanted to be careful and did not make any big mistakes, asked to check out one after another. Some even asked the innkeeper to find them. An expert can perform a ritual or something. For example, I heard that the Taoist priests of the Five Gods are very powerful. Opening a water and land ashram to send away lonely souls and wild ghosts may be able to eliminate disasters, eliminate ghosts, and so on...

The innkeeper was so anxious that he couldn't stop these guests from checking out. Even later, he himself became suspicious of the ghost in Zhangcun's room, so he had to send people to the Wufang Dojo to invite Taoists to come and perform the ritual. Exorcise ghosts.

The people from Wufang Dojo are here.

The innkeeper watched with pain as Taoists from five directions arranged the ceremony, and then chanted scriptures...

Some of the people watching were worshiping devoutly, some were laughing and joking, and some were silently reciting their thoughts. They all had different opinions, but everyone had the same understanding. Now not only the people around the inn knew that the incident in Zhang Village had been settled, but also Even the people who were walking around to watch the excitement knew what was going on...
