Three Kingdoms

 Chapter 3247 Trap (additional update)

 Among the three auxiliaries of Chang'an, the Webster turmoil spread like huge ripples.

Some duckweeds on the water are dancing gracefully driven by the ripples.

　　　This is absolutely impossible! 』

Wang Zhao shook his head.

Although he didn't know what the arrangements were for the public trial of Webster, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

 What’s more, isn’t life wonderful now?

 There was no need for him to take that risk.

Wang Zhao is a typical successful person who put down his butcher knife and became a wealthy person immediately.

He was originally the bandit leader. When Xiliang troops were in chaos in Heluo Pass, he also pulled up a group of people. Originally he just wanted to huddle together to keep warm and protect himself, but unfortunately later on, after discovering that he actually had some authority, his taste changed somewhat.

At that time, did Dong Zhuo, Li Guo and others not care about Wang Zhao and other bandits?

 It doesn’t matter.

 Because the political system of Qin and Han Dynasties only reached the county and county level.

 Even the county may not be able to go down.

The prefects appointed by the court are at risk of being sidelined by local forces, so the Han Dynasty lacks administrative power at the bottom and can only rely on the three rural elders, local street...ahem, local squires to assist in governance. Although these local gentry were not included in the public offices of the Han Dynasty, they had many hidden benefits.

Wang Zhao is such a local squire.

His father is a country squire, his grandfather is also a country squire, and his ancestors are all country squires.

His family has been in charge of this small place under Zuofeng Yilian for many years.

 Hereditary country squire, this is very common in feudal dynasties.

 So at that time, Dong Zhuo, Li Guo and others only occupied the big cities, while the countryside became the "paradise" for Wang Zhao and others.

However, one of the smart things about Wang Zhao is that he has a strong ability to fall when the situation is bad.

 So he successfully "transformed"!

After serving as a bandit for a period of time, he took advantage of Fei to sneak into Chang'an and start to pacify the place. He was willing to surrender, handed over the bandit soldiers, and became a small landowner in Lianshaoxia County.

Fei Qian did not kill him, nor did he, like Cao Pi, proudly spread the word everywhere in order to show his "prestige", saying that "just sitting down and surrendering would be more effective than using troops to revolutionize" and so on.

There are actually many people like Wang Zhao.

Wang Zhao had a good friend before, who was a little bolder than Wang Zhao. What happened...

 This good friend of his is called Zheng Gan.

And now in front of Wang Zhao is Zheng Gan's son, Zheng Shuang.

Zheng Gan sacrificed his own life in exchange for his son's life.

 It's a pity that his son Zheng Shuang didn't appreciate it.

Zheng Shuang felt that when he was young, whenever Zheng Gan saw him, his eyes would be straight or his nose would be straight. His first words when they met would be either scolding or blaming. His father had never said a good word or praise to him since he was a child. Let him do something.

Zheng Shuang is not a student, so it was very painful for him when he was studying. When he couldn't memorize the scriptures and was sad and autistic and crying, he didn't get comfort from his father. Instead, he was treated coldly by his father. Of course, he didn't get a warm-hearted word like "just forget it if you can't memorize the scriptures"...

So Zheng Shuang dislikes his father, hates his father, and thinks that those fathers who play with their children all day long, take good care of their children's emotions every day, and can give a loving hug all the time are good fathers.

His father is not.

Even after his father sacrificed his own life in exchange for a way of living for him, Zheng Shuang still felt that that was what his father should have done, and there was nothing to say.

What's more, it was his father who caused him to be exiled to Jiaozhou. If it hadn't been for the strong support from his "friends", it's not clear he would have come back alive!

Therefore, Zheng Shuang did not feel very good about his father's friend Wang Zhao. If he couldn't find any help, he would not come to Wang Zhao.

　　　　Uncle Wang! Whether this is a trap or not is another matter, but if Webster really comes to the stage and opens his mouth..." Zheng Shuang said in a deep voice, "I am not the only one who wants him dead! If this can happen, those people will all owe Uncle Wang a debt of gratitude! 』

Wang Zhao pondered, to be honest, he was a little moved.

Webster seems to be going down, but what Webster has left in Guanzhong is not only the tangible industries on the ground, but also intangible assets. No matter who it is, it can take a bite of Webster's collapse. , it’s hard to say whether he can soar immediately, but he can definitely gain weight for a while.

Zheng Shuang’s words also need to be listened to from both sides. If you do it, you will be favored; if you don't do it, will you be hated by others?

Wang Zhao stared at Zheng Shuang, grinded his teeth secretly, and then put on a smile to make the wrinkles in the smile deeper, "My dear nephew, your father and I..."

　　　Can you not mention my father? Zheng Shuang frowned and said, "I am me, and my father is my father!" 』

Wang Zhao was stunned.

 Don’t mention your father? Then what the **** are you doing?

I recognize Zheng Gan as my brother, not your subordinate!

Zheng Shuang came to the door with trouble now. Wang Zhao didn't kick him out because of the face of the dead Zheng Gan. As a result, when Zheng Shuang said this, Wang Zhao was immediately dumbfounded.

But after all, Wang Zhao was older and had experienced more things, so he didn't have an attack. He just coughed twice to cover up the matter, and then asked: "Then...what do you want to do?" 』

"Simple! From Chang'an to Qinglong Temple, passing by Longshou Plain," Zheng Shuang raised his head, "Wei Shi must take a prison car, hide the good shooter by the road, and snipe him! As long as Webster dies, the world will be at peace! 』

Simple?

 It is really simple to say.

Wang Zhao pondered for a long time, "So...what do you want from me?" 』

Zheng Shuang laughed and said, "He is the one who is good at shooting under Uncle Wang!" I heard that under Uncle Wang, there is a man who can penetrate the Yangtze River with a hundred steps, and he is called Uncle She..."

Wang Zhao’s heart skipped a beat, as expected. As a bandit leader before, he also had some people who were good at shooting.

"Oh, what a pity..." Wang Zhao patted his thigh, "It would have been better if you had come earlier!" A few days ago, Uncle She went hunting in the mountains and broke his arm..."

Zheng Shuang's face darkened, "Is it really such an unlucky thing?" 』

　　　It’s really such an unfortunate coincidence. ” Wang Zhao looked sincere.

Zheng Shuang snorted, "In that case, forget it... Farewell, farewell!" 』

Wang Zhao pretended to beg him to stay, Zheng Shuang grunted twice and left without saying anything more.

When Wang Zhao saw Zheng Shuang leaving, he darkened his face and said, "You are not the son of a man!" Even if you are like the Son of Heaven, you know that there are things you can do and things you cannot do! Do you think that everyone in the world is your parents? ! Pooh! 』

　　　　Come here! ” Wang Zhao called to a close servant, “Go, quickly go and report the news to Chang’an Youwen Division, just tell the truth...just tell the truth, there is no need to hide it! Anyway, that Zhuzi doesn’t recognize his father, so I don’t have to show mercy! Go on a horse! Don't delay! 』

 …

 …

"sit. ” Xun You gestured.

After Tian Yu sat down, Xun You marked a list on the desk and pushed it in front of Tian Yu.

Tian Yu looked at it, "This is..."

Xun You said: "I heard from the Secretary that there are thieves in the countryside who want to commit rebellion. 』

Tian Yu snorted, "How brave!" 』

But after a moment, Tian Yu frowned slightly and clicked on the list, "These... seem to be..."

 Feng Yi on the left, Fufeng on the right, one on the east and one on the west, scattered everywhere.

Wang Zhao’s name is on the list.

Xun You nodded, "These people must send people to investigate, and they must do it quickly..."

　　　『Youwen Secretary...』 Tian Yu frowned slightly.

He does have some soldiers, but most of them need to be mobilized by the Tiger Talisman. After the Weishi Manor was cleared, the Tiger Talisman was given to Xun You again and is now placed on Xun You's desk.

Moreover, isn’t the Wen Department more professional in this kind of investigation?

Xun You waved his hand and said, "The Wen Department and the Inspection Office want to help stabilize the tombs in Chang'an, and they cannot mobilize extra manpower." 』

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…‖ Tian Yu was silent for a moment, seeming to hesitate a little, but still said, 『Mr.

Xun You raised his eyebrows and said, "I would like to hear the details." Tian Yu pointed at the list and said: "These...are all unknown people. Not to mention they are trying to rob a prison car. Even if they have some people, they are probably just a mob and it will be impossible to accomplish it..."

"oh? Xun You smiled and said, "Then Guorang thinks, who can cause trouble?" 』

　　　『Big family! Tian Yu said without hesitation, "And the Shandong spies!" And...hatred towards the hussars..."

Xun You nodded and said, "For example?" 』

　　　Li Guo is a remnant thief. ” Tian Yu said.

Xun You looked at Tian Yu, and after a while, he smiled and said, "As expected of the state!" 』

“So…” Tian Yu pushed the list.

Tian Yu understood why he was the one to deal with Webster.

 Because he has no connection with the local gentry or the big family with the surname Sanfu in Guanzhong.

Moreover, Guanzhong and Longyou have been linked to each other since the Eastern Han Dynasty. If Fei Qian hadn't been governing them from the outside in over the years, it would be impossible to say that the three assistants in Guanzhong would still be in a mess now!

Although things are much better now, there are still hidden dangers.

 This hidden danger was not brought about by others, but originally existed among the three assistants in Guanzhong.

Simply speaking, in the Longyou and Longxi area, during the period from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to the present, how many Longyou Qiang and Hu Haoqiang people were gradually formed and named? In addition to Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Ma Teng and other big heads, there are also more than 20 people such as Yan Zhong, Huang Yan, Li Shen and so on!

With the support of these Qiang and Hu powerful people and the local gentry and gentry in Guanzhong, during the chaos of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, there were still more than ten small warlords in Guanzhong!

Of course, the most important thing is still the remnant thief Li Guo...

Xun You found a record from the other side of the desk and handed it to Tian Yu.

“Li Shi, the son of Li Jue, died in the rebellion. However, his younger brother Li Wei and nephew Li Jin ended up unknown..." Xun You said slowly.

These are very common names, but they contain something very extraordinary.

"In addition, there are Li Ying, Li Huan and others, but there is no trace..." Xun You continued to say slowly, his voice was calm, "For example, Li Ying, who was once named Li Wei, served as a military academy lieutenant. When Li thief held the emperor hostage and when he wanted to kill Zhao Zirou, he persuaded him many times to relieve his trouble. Therefore, Youyun went east with Zhao Zirou..."

 At the time of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, it was a complete failure.

The original household registration system of Han Dynasty was not perfect, and Dong Zhuo, Li Guo broke the weak foundation again. In this process, after Fei Qian took over Guanzhong in the later period, it was impossible to immediately establish a system similar to that of later generations. Household registration system. Even if Fei Qian wanted to register the population more truthfully and reconstruct the household registration files, it would only be after killing a few fools who showed up that the natives in Guanzhong became honest.

So, these large and small warlords who were rampant in Longyou, Longxi, Guanzhong and Sanfu, as well as their relatives related to the warlords, disappeared in an instant after the war?

 If it didn’t disappear, then where did it go?

 The answer is of course obvious.

Those who were lucky enough not to die in the battle either went to Shandong or changed their names and hid themselves.

Just like how Xu Shu was able to escape capture after killing someone before, he can continue to live by changing his name...

But similarly, without the protection of the local gentry and gentry, just like when the Jingzhou gentry accepted and protected Xu Shu, these people would not be able to hide.

 The laws of the Han Dynasty were often crude, negligent, and downward.

 Among the upper classes, many Han laws were weakened or even rendered ineffective.

For example, the square at the entrance of the palace where Liu Xie was located must be solemn and solemn, and no fun was allowed. If ordinary people came to the palace gate, let alone being a little presumptuous, even if they accidentally stepped in, they would be killed on the spot.

But if Cao Pi went to the palace square to have a good time...

It was not even Cao Yu, but the ordinary children of the Cao family went to walk around, and Liu Xie could only smile, and he didn't know what he was blind and deaf.

Therefore, if Xun You wants to lift up the rotten wooden board of Webster, he must also make a plan to capture and crush the people hidden under the wooden board together. Otherwise, these monsters would have gone somewhere along the shadows again...

As we all know, there is no special hatred between Fei Qian and Dong Zhuo. Even Fei Qian could successfully inherit part of Dong Zhuo's inheritance. However, Fei Qian and Li Guo and others after Dong Zhuo were fighting for Guanzhong. , leaving a relatively large degree of hatred. Some relatives and descendants of Li Guo will feel that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and then live in seclusion quietly, but some people will feel that Fei Qian stole the happiness and happiness that originally belonged to them.

Tian Yu looked at the second list provided by Xun You. For some reason, he smelled something familiar to him.

After a moment of silence, Tian Yu said: "Shijun Xun... This, is there any... um, Shijun Jia's handwriting in this?" 』

Xun You smiled but didn't answer.

Tian Yu didn’t ask any more questions. After giving a bow, he put the records away and left as ordered.

 Since he knows that he is just a **** on the chessboard, he must first do his duty well.

Xun You watched Tian Yu leave and asked in a low voice: "How is the general's residence?" 』

A confidant on the side replied in a low voice: "Colonel Huang replied, two posts have been set up, multiple hidden sentries, all direct guards, three shifts of inspections, day and night!" 』

Xun You nodded, "Good." 』

Xun You re-deduced what happened before and after, and found that there was nothing missing. He slowly exhaled and looked up at the sky, "Those who are good at fighting have no illustrious reputation..."

　　　"Lang Jun," a confidant on the side whispered, "do you want... to avoid it?" 』

Xun You shook his head and said, "If I avoid it, wouldn't it mean telling others that this is a trap?" 』

 …

 …

 Several figures, hiding in the shadows, chatting eagerly and arguing fiercely.

But no matter how fierce the argument was, these people still tried their best to lower their voices and turned their heads to look at the outside world from time to time, as if they were hiding behind a cover.

　　　This is a trap! 』

　　　Who doesn’t know this is a trap? ! I mean use it the other way around! 』

"in turn? How to do it the other way around? They were just waiting for us to show up! 』

“No, no, think about it, if we pretend to rescue or kill Wei Xiufu... they will definitely be more prepared, but because of this, will the defenses in other places be empty? 』

　　　　You, you mean...』

"Haha, just like the man named Wang... He reported the news and thought he had a plan... You must know that now only Kan Derun is patrolling with him in the city. New soldiers are gathering outside the city, and they don't dare to use... Pang Shiyuan is with... The veteran is Zuo Feng Yi! I also asked people to make more bait for Zuo Fengyi to lure him to stay... Anyway, now they must divide their troops to investigate and take precautions! We then deceived the rest of the people to go to Qinglong Temple, thinking that we were going to attack Wei Shi... but this was a trap we set! Who the **** cares about Webster's? The only thing that matters is shutting down these guys, we just have to take advantage of that! 』

　　　　This is like a bait! A trap! A trap they had to jump into! 』

　　　　A trap? 』

　　　　　We only need an hour! After an hour, it didn't matter whether Wei Xiufu was alive or dead! 』

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　An hour? 』

　　　『An hour! 』

　　　What can you do in one hour? 』

 ‘Kill people, set fires, and disrupt Chang’an! By the way...if I can kill..."

"Do not think! There are now many sentries in the Hussar Mansion, with strong bows and crossbows. If you go there, you will die! 』

　　　That’s the government officials... Anyway, killing some officials will always have more influence on the Hussars’ front line, and it will also help the Prime Minister’s advance! Think about it, isn’t this a God-given opportunity? Anyway, it was all blamed on Webster. Even if they found out, what would happen? Isn't it possible to stir up the period, make the place uneasy and the countryside uneasy? 』

While several people were talking, the figure outside the window moved.

A few people immediately fell silent and stared nervously out of the window, fearing that the next moment they would hear the roar of "Youwen Secretary is doing business"...

 Fortunately, it was not the people who came from Wensi, but their people.

　　『Someone saw with their own eyes that Tian Guorang left the city and went west with his men, probably to Youfufeng...』

 The figure said this, then swayed for a moment, and then left again.

The people in the room were silent for a moment, and then became excited.

　　　The trap worked! 』

　　　Tian Guorang fell into the trap! 』

　　　This is the best time and the last time! 』

"Now or never! 』

　　　『The time has come to be loyal to the country and serve the Prime Minister! 』
