When the king was angry, the mountains and rivers were shaken.

With Li Yuan's personal intervention, the cause of the conflict between Li Bi and Yan Le was finally clarified. The reason can be said to be very simple and ridiculous, that is, Li Bi was dissatisfied with Yan Le, an important figure in the former Zhao Gao Group. At the same time, the Military Intelligence Department, as the most shameful department of the Qin State, was extremely rich. Li Bi was reluctant to give up such a big cake, especially to someone like Yan Le.

I can't handle it.

This is a trick that Li Bi thought. He thought that as long as he delayed this matter, Li Yuan's attitude towards Yan Le would change over time. By then, he would not only not disobey his orders, but also make a contribution. Even if Yan Le could still gain trust, it would be no big deal. Then he would just apologize.

After finding out the truth, Li Yuan was furious and immediately ordered Li Bi to be removed from the position of Xianyang Order and directly thrown into the Tingwei Prison. After finding out the amount of money he had filled his private pockets, he would make a decision.

At the same time, Li Yuan ordered the border general Meng Hu, who was transferred to Gao Nu, to lead his troops to Chang'an City to take over the public security affairs of Chang'an and Xianyang cities, and appointed Meng Hu as the court lieutenant, who was fully responsible for investigating and handling Li Bi's corruption and dereliction of duty.

"Meng Tingwei, your uncle Meng Yi once served as the Tingwei of Qin and investigated several major cases. Today, the Li Bi case is also believed that you can find out the truth with a fair attitude and not favoritism."

When he welcomed Meng Hu into the city, Li Yuan said this decisively, Li Yuan had no choice but to transfer the border troops into the city. Li Bi had served as the general in the personal military camp. He was in charge of Xianyang for many years. Although the soldiers under his command were unlikely to rebel, he would at least have sympathy for Li Bi. In this case, Li Yuan could not guarantee that there would be no violent incidents such as prison robbery.

The entry of the side cavalry into the city suddenly intensified the tension in Chang'an City, and the Hu Shang in the east was even more panicked. There were rumors that the Huns in the north had come again.

For several days.

The bright sunshine in Chang'an is no longer there, and there are bloody storms on the long streets. Any officials involved with Li Bi were invited by the Tingwei Mansion to "drink tea". In order to thoroughly find out the matter, Li Yuan personally took over the Tingwei Mansion, urging Meng Hu to speed up and interrogate Li Bi, and be sure to explain the problem clearly.

When Meng Hu started to interrogate, he was still a little worried about Li Bi's relationship and his previous friendship. His speech was quite tactful. Unfortunately, after Li Bi was arrested, he was extremely excited and did not listen to Meng Hu's advice at all. It was not until Meng Hu had given him the advice of Li Bi's subordinates. Li Bi began to lower his high head.

In the fifth year of the New Calendar of the Qin Dynasty, January, spring.

After a month and a half of thorough investigation, the truth was finally revealed. As the explanation deepened, the amount of money involved in the Li Bi case reached an astonishing level.

In just one and a half years, Li Bi served in the Military Information Department and the Xianyang Order. He used false reporting of people, appointing confidants, embezzling public wealth and other means to directly or indirectly receive bribes and other money totaling 30,000 yuan, 280 yuan, and several other precious objects. Some of these things were handed over by Li Bi, and more were hidden in private fields outside Xianyang City.

A chain of interests was slowly exposed. Just as Chen Ping thought, Li Bi used his special relationship with Li Yuan and Ying Yushu to convince many people who wanted to get close to Li Yuan. This chain was like a rolling snowball, involving more and more Qin officials and important figures.

"Anyone who has committed corruption will be executed immediately!" According to Qin law, there is nothing to say about Li Bi's final outcome, but during the verdict of the Tingwei Mansion, Li Yuan was caught in a crisis of trust.

The case of Li Bi shocked the Qin State, and there were also one person who pleaded for Li Bi, among which the eldest princess Ying Yushu was the most.

"Mr. Wu and Li Bi are indeed wrong. However, he did not spend the money he had privately detained, but he did not spend it alone. Many of them were sent to the palace. If the sentence was severe, I really couldn't bear it." Ying Yushu came from the palace in person and went to Li Yuan's study to plead for mercy.

"Yu'er doesn't have to worry about this matter. Li Bi is seeking death, no one else's fault." Li Yuan waved his hand, shook his head weakly and refused.

"Wuhou, you can't be so heartless. At the beginning, if it weren't for Brother Bi, you wouldn't have lived now-!" Ying Yushu continued to persuade, with tears faintly appearing in his eyes.

Li Bi is an old man from the Li Mansion in Xingyang. He has been growing up in the mansion since he was beaten. His parents are also old servants in the mansion for many years. This time, she asked Ying Yushu for help, how could she ignore it?

"Yu'er, you know what Li Bi did. He took bribes, embezzled public money, and retaliated against all these things that cannot be done according to the law. If he was spared lightly, how could I face the thousands of people of Qin?" Li Yuan said hatefully. Ying Yushu was thinking about his old love, but he didn't know that this old love would ruin the new Qin State.

"What do the people know? This time, if Chen Ping hadn't been unwilling to take responsibility, and if Yan Le hadn't been against him, how could Bi Ge'er's affairs be so big?" Ying Yu was furious and shook her sleeves and said.

"What do you know? This is what Li Bi did. It has nothing to do with the prime minister and Yan Langzhong. Now, it is me, Li Yuan, who wants to chop his head, not anyone else." Li Yuan said loudly. He felt confused and disappointed for the first time with Ying Yushu's incomprehension.

The army has no jokes, and the military orders are like a mountain.

Li Bi's corruption made Li Yuan deeply saddened. Li Bi was also a soldier. When he knew what Qin Rule was, he was breaking the law. According to the law, he should be punished with crime. Li Yuan never relaxed his requests for himself, and he repeatedly made requests to his trusted generals around him. Why is this? It is to keep the new Qin State positive and vigorous vitality.

What has Li Bi done now?

Ying Yushu left with grievance and disappointment. She felt incomprehensible about Li Bi's "ruthlessness". As a princess who grew up in the palace, what she came into contact with was not only privilege but also privilege. Therefore, in her eyes, as long as Li Bi was loyal to Li Yuan and her, Ying Yushu, then everything else could be forgiven.

January 13th.

With Li Yuan's insistence, the former Xianyang Order Li Bi was sentenced to death by the Tingwei Mansion. In terms of execution, Li Yuan did not pull Li Bi to Xishi and behead him. Instead, he decided to end his life with a glass of poisonous wine on the execution ground of the Tingwei Mansion.

When he was sentenced to death, Li Bi calmed down. He asked Meng Hu to see Li Yuan again.

On the execution ground.

Li Bi's hair was disheveled, and his clothes had already formed blood scabs on many parts. It can be seen that he suffered a lot during this period. Seeing Li Bi's appearance, Li Yuan's heart suddenly felt ache.

"Brother Yuan, don't frown. It's okay. Although the wound on this body was ordered by that boy Meng Hu, I don't hate him. I only hate myself--." Li Bi looked up and looked at a corner of the sky around him, his voice was hoarse and low.

"Brother Yuan, do you know? When you were a child, you told me that when we grew up and could make a lot of money, we would have to build a big house. At that time, you also said that we would have enviable horse riders and marry a woman ten times more beautiful than Xiaoqing." Li Bi said with a smile, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

Xiaoqing.

Li Yuan's memory has no impression of this name. Maybe it was a pretty little girl in the Li family back then. Maybe one afternoon, two teenagers were thinking about their dreams in the future. Among them, there were Xiaoqing, including the money, house, and Malaysia that Li Bi said.

That was the memory of "Li Yuan" in his previous life, not of Li Yuan from his later life. Li Bi may never know that the childhood playmate in front of him was no longer the same person.

Black blood.

It slowly flowed down from the corner of Li Bi's mouth.

"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry!" When his heart stopped beating, Li Bi said this sentence with difficulty. From his gradually lost eyes, Li Bi saw a trace of nostalgia for life, regret for the past, and a little sadness and sentimentality of an inexplicable boy.

Li Bi is dead.

On this night when the autumn leaves were gone and the wind was cold, I closed my eyes and died quietly without pain in front of Li Yuan. Those officials who gave gifts to Li Bi, or who threatened to accept bribes, embezzled public funds were later beheaded, exiled or served hard labor one by one. Chen Ping was negligent in supervision and was negligent indulging in the information and did not report it to the public. He was the first to be officially appointed by Li Yuange, and started again as the chief minister.

When this news spread throughout the counties through the notices of the Qin court, officials at all levels of Qin felt the coldness of the slaughter from Chang'an. This high-pressure internal policy made them both unfamiliar and familiar. What was unfamiliar was that the relaxed national policy of the new Qin for the past four years made them accustomed to being big-handed. What was familiar was that this policy was not the continuation of the former Legalist policy of governing the country.

After Li Bi, Li Zheng was transferred from Longxi by Li Yuan to serve as the Chang'an Order. This once powerful position has now become a hot potato, and no one dared to take over it. Li Zheng is Li Yuan's second brother. He came to Chang'an at this critical time and quickly took over the internal affairs of Chang'an, which made Li Yuan feel close care from blood.

Meng Hu did not return to Gao Nu and continued to serve as the Tingwei. In the trial of the Li Bi case, the young general in the border army showed integrity and fairness, which made Li Yuan highly appreciate him.

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

Similarly, a competent court lieutenant is more important to the new Qin State, because he can make the body of Xin Qin healthier and prevent the invasion of montworms in advance.
