For the tenth time, Liham read the silk book sent by the county town ten times, and after being sure that he had memorized almost every word on it, he threw it into the brazier and burned it, and watched the silk slowly twist and deform in the flames and turn into charcoal, and after making sure that there was no residue left, he pushed the door out.

He now lives in the small courtyard of the rest of the officials in the Chengguan Temple of Anlu County, and has a separate room of his own, after going out, Lixian greets his colleagues in the same courtyard as usual, and after a little late for dinner, he goes to the county lieutenant's office.

These few days are the critical juncture of conscription, so the county lieutenant's office is very busy, many pavilion chiefs and township officials are waiting outside, all holding slips in their hands, ready to submit the conscription situation of their own townships and pavilions, the county lieutenant demands, the conscription task must be completed in May, the formation in the township and pavilion according to the place of origin, and the summer harvest in June is completed, it is necessary to gather in the county seat for training.

Bypassing these village officials and entering the official office, he first walked to a house at the door, and in the presence of a janitor, he took a pen and drew a circle on a large wooden tablet with the names and dates of the 28 officials of the county magistrate's office written on one side......

In the Qin State, every official in the county had his own file, and the number of days of attendance should be recorded every day, and business trips and vacations should be noted. If there are too many absences, at the end of the year, the master will be blamed, which is equivalent to clocking in at work in later generations.

"Captain Zuo still hasn't come today?"

After punching in, Leham asked the little official casually.

"Not really."

Lixian is now the most important lieutenant of the right lieutenant, and the little official smiled flatteringly: "This month has been missing seven or eight days, and it is said that he is sick at home." ”

Li Xian nodded, and looked at the office of the two county lieutenants, the main hall is the right lieutenant Zheng Shui, and the side hall is the left lieutenant Yun Man. It wasn't until half a year ago that Heifu returned with many meritorious sons of the county, most of whom were recruited into the lieutenant system. At this moment, feng shui takes turns, Yun can no longer cover the sky with one hand, Zheng Shui began to withdraw a lot of power, Yun Man may also have noticed something, he has been sick at home in recent days, and he has not come to the council.

"Captain Zuo's days are numbered." Leham thought of what was said in the silk letter.

But Zuo Wei's high-rise mansion compound is like a city fortress, and there are nearly 100 servants and guests, if it is difficult to attack, not to mention, nearly half of the county pawns are Yun clansmen and clansmen.

"The pavilion chief said that he would arrive in Anlu tomorrow, and I only have one day to prepare in advance......"

Thinking so, when Lexian was in Mo, he went to inspect the training of county soldiers under the pretext of going to inspect the training of county soldiers and walked to the school field near the south gate.

There was a wooden fence outside the school yard, and there was a sentry post, and Liham was a familiar face here, so he let him in after a casual question, and when he reached the edge of the school yard, he heard a burst of cheers......

But when they saw that the spectators at the arrow target in the school field were blocked, the county guards clapped their hands while watching.

When he got closer, he saw a not very tall tun chief, standing sixty paces away, unlike ordinary people who shoot arrows for half a day, he almost didn't aim much, and the arrows were already out. An arrow followed an arrow, the arrow of the latter arrow chased the tail of the previous arrow, and the onlookers only heard "popping", three bowstrings sounded, followed by the people in the distance to report the target, saying that the three arrows were hit by the bull's-eye!

This hand is really powerful, and what is even more rare is that in the shooting from sixty steps away, the new pawns in the material officer and archers are very surprised, looking at Xiao Taotun Chang's muffled voice on weekdays, and he stammers when he speaks, and even needs someone to help relay it, who would have thought that he really has some ability.

The veterans on the side began to brag to the newcomers about the deeds of the little Taotun chief, from the whistle of an arrow in the blind mountain to shock hundreds of people, to the arrow attack on Xu Yang in Liyang City to quell the chaos, and then to the battlefield to prevent Chu Jiang from committing suicide with accurate arrows, which made everyone admire.

Xiao Tao just smiled and told everyone not to make noise, but to stand together and listen to him teach him the skills of archery.

The archery used on the battlefield does not have to be as particular as the Spring and Autumn aristocracy to learn archery, there are so many exquisiteness, and it has to be able to speak in the right way, Xiao Tao directly taught everyone the method of eye, body and foot......

The so-called eye practice, of course, it is impossible to see lice as the size of a wheel as in the legend, the most basic requirement is to make the eyes "not instantaneous", that is, not to turn their eyes, not to blink, as for the foot method, it is "left foot longitudinal, right foot horizontal", while saying, Xiao Tao also slowed down the action to demonstrate to everyone, the right foot is straight, so that the body center of gravity on the back foot, the left toe is aimed at the target......

That's when he saw Lyham.

Left ...... The left hand is like a stone, the right hand is like a brushing branch, the right hand is hairy, the left hand does not know, this way of covering the shooting, you will learn to practice again......"

After speaking, Xiao Tao asked everyone to contact themselves, and walked over to Lixian.

Li Xian smiled: "The army is really a place where you can speak with your skills, and these officers and shooters have been convinced by you." ”

Xiao Tao said embarrassedly: "I...... I just learned some of the pavilion chief's tactics of leading soldiers. ”

"Among these old people who follow the pavilion chief, you have learned a little bit of military training." Li Xian knew that he could not treat the soldiers with sincerity, and Dongmen Leopard was a reckless man, it was okay to charge and kill the enemy, and it would definitely be a mess for him to lead the troops, but it was a pity that Xiao Tao stuttered and restricted the way out, otherwise he would be more than one tun chief and a hundred generals in the future.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Tao, you taught the archery method of the county guard, didn't you teach the archery technique to the pavilion chief when you were in Wei Di."

Speaking of this, both of them couldn't help laughing, Heifu's martial arts skills are good, but his archery skills are very poor, and he has not made great progress after two years of practice, and he has only reached the passing line of ordinary officers.

After chatting about the current situation of the two again, Lixian lowered his voice: "The pavilion chief will be able to ...... tomorrow."

Xiao Tao was overjoyed, and then surprised again: "This ...... What's going on? ”

Li Xian didn't answer, and asked first: "How many of the two hundred Anlu County strokes in the city can act in the county tiger talisman?" ”

"All can answer the ......"

"What if the county's order is to surround the Yun clan and arrest Yun Man? There are also many Yun children who have passed away in the county stroke...... How many people will be ordered by then? ”

Xiao Tao understood and pointed to the officers who were practicing archery: "I don't dare to say anything else, but my subordinates ...... These fifty bows and crossbows, wherever the pavilion chief pointed, they could aim at them! ”

……

After leaving the school grounds, Lixian went back to his house before going to the door, and Ji Ying, who had made an appointment with him to meet at this time, happened to be nearby.

"You will go to deliver the letter first, and I will go to Liwei Shi's house to ask for saliva to drink!"

Ji Ying, who was already in charge of the post transmission in Yixiang, came with a smile, and it was not until he entered Lixian's house that he handed over a piece of slip that recorded a lot of things to Lixian.

"It's new."

Li Xian saw that what was written on this slip was all about the children of the Yun family and the old things, although they were all running accounts, but each one had a time, place, and person, and it was not casual nonsense.

Ji Ying said helplessly: "Adultery, private fighting, buying people as slaves and maids from Chudi, as well as killing cattle, drinking, and playing, these crimes add up, although they can make a few people of the Yun family who are officials in the county lose their officials, but for Yun Man, they are all insignificant, at most they can be regarded as teaching the clansmen no way." In the past few months, although I have taken advantage of my position to open a lot of Yun's letters, I have found nothing, and recently they seem to be a lot more vigilant, and they don't even vote private messages in official documents. ”

It could be seen that Yun Man seemed to smell something unusual and began to be cautious.

"That's enough." Li Xian put away the slip and said with a smile: "The pavilion chief has already verified Yun Man's great crime, if this crime is confirmed, it is enough to kill this bureaucracy!" Coupled with the crimes of these clansmen's children, the Yun clan will fall! ”

"Seriously!" Ji Ying was overjoyed, and said with a smile that the pavilion chief was still powerful.

Li Xian said: "The pavilion chief will arrive in Anlu tomorrow with the county soldiers, first pass through the northern suburbs, you will have someone send a message to Dongmen Leopard tonight, so that he can take the soldiers of the pavilion in the township to prepare." ”

Ji Ying was very excited when he heard it, they had been planning for half a year since they came back, and they also listened to Heifu's instructions to be careful not to use any illegal behaviors by the other party, which can be described as exhausting, and now it finally comes in handy.

"Going to do it?"

Li Xian learned from Xiao Tao's appearance, made a posture like a full moon, and aimed it in the direction of the Yun Mansion: "The arrow is already on the string!" ”

……

After sending Ji Ying away, Lexian thought for a moment and found that he had already arranged everything, and when Heifu arrived in Anlu, he could use the soldiers of the northern suburbs and the county officials to cooperate with the county soldiers to control the situation and suppress the possible resistance of the Yun clan.

"Then there's only one thing left......"

When Heifu's silk letter arrived last night, Liham also hesitated for a while, is there a way to live up to Heifu and protect the clan?

Lixian knows his clan, as a family of doctors who have served the Ao clan for 400 years, the old people in the clan have always been obsessed with the old master, not only often tell the young people in the clan about the past, secretly pass the festivals of the Chu period, hold priest sacrifices, and the patriarchs of the past dynasties are also closely related to the Dou clan.

Saying that the Li family is in the middle of Chu, and some sell Qin, this is a joke, the whole clan together does not have this courage, just nostalgia for the past, so if it is connected because of this, it is really a little wronged.

So Leham also thought: "Maybe I can fly back to my hometown, meet with the patriarch alone, and ask him to quickly destroy the past letters, and then commit suicide in advance......"

In this way, the guilt can be pushed on the head of the patriarch, and the clue can be broken, and there is no need to implicate too many people.

But Leham immediately dismissed the idea.

"If the king does not secret, he will lose his country, and if the minister does not secret, he will lose his body, and if he does not keep secrets, he will be harmful."

The clan can try to save it later, but what we have to do now is to protect our career and future first, as well as what Heifu instructed!

So, he has one last thing to do!

At this time, it was already the end of the afternoon, and the officials of the official temple had finished their busy day, and walked out with a smile and a smile, and Lixian greeted them as usual.

It wasn't until he walked into the hall of the county lieutenant's office that Li Xian took a long breath, put on a panicked and frightened look, deliberately didn't even take off his shoes, and hurriedly entered, bowed down in front of the county lieutenant Zheng Shu, who was about to go home, and took a big jump!

"Wei Shi, what's wrong!?" Zheng Shui thought it was the Chu army on the other side of Yunmengze who came over!

Liham said with tears in his eyes: "The subordinate has something to report to the right lieutenant!" ”

"What?"

"When the subordinate Xiu Mu returned to his hometown, he accidentally discovered that the patriarch of the Li clan in Zhuanshui Township had correspondence with the Chu State! It may also be the middle of Chu! ”

"Huh?"

Zheng Shui was shocked, the Li clan is the second largest chief in this county, and his children occupy half of the positions in Zhuanshui Township, and they have always been relied on by him, but his own Wei Shi is a member of the Li clan, so he will not frame his own clan, right?

"The subordinates are true in every word, and they will never dare to deceive."

"How can this be?" The right lieutenant was a little flustered, he had been reusing the Ritchie disciples to maintain the balance with the Yun clan, and now that Ritchhe's had an accident, half of his men would be unusable.

"In order not to startle the snake, it is better to earn the Li clan patriarch to the city first, and then arrest him when he enters the county governor's hall."

Leham lowered his head, hiding his cunning eyes and true purpose.

"This matter is not trivial, can the right lieutenant inform the left lieutenant Yun Jun to come to the county temple tomorrow to interrogate the patriarch of the Li clan? I've heard that Yun and Ritchie have always been at odds, and I think Captain Left will be happy to help Captain Right arrest Ritchhe! ”
