Chapter 170 Eventful Autumn
It seems that the death of the second life of Daqin in his previous life is not unreasonable. Daqin faces many problems, like a seemingly majestic tree, with a high-spirited and straight appearance, but the borers have begun to chew on the heart of the tree.
Since the unification of the six kingdoms, although the Qin army soldiers have been brave and brave, they have gone from being middle-aged to being middle-aged, and the generals are more of veterans. The laws are strict and the construction of the country seems to be straws pressing on the camel of the Qin Dynasty. Fortunately, Li Chen came, and a series of reforms have made Wang Jian ill and almost exhausted the old man, but in the end, they have resolutely resolutely resolutely for the Qin Dynasty.
Although Ying Shu and Nie Xiaohua have noble identities, their marriage is extremely low-key. Although the First Emperor has entered Nie Xiaohua's identity into the genealogy, she still seems to be unable to be accepted by the people of the Ying clan. There is no need to say more about Ying Shu, who has always been inconsistent with the people of the Ying clan.
"Marty, look." Zhao Que hurriedly handed the secret letter in his hand to Li Chen, as if something big happened.
"All of them are married people, and they are still so frivolous." Li Chen scolded his "uncle" and brother.
"What a big trouble?" Zhao Que sighed.
"A collapse occurred in the Dongshan Tunnel 300 miles west of Xianyang City. Three hundred migrant workers were trapped in the culvert and no one survived. The next day, a plague occurred in Qingshan Village where the migrant workers left, and no one survived."
The news in the secret letter was like a bolt from the blue slashing on Li Chen. Li Chen had probably guessed the story of the matter. He was so brave that he was really a big deal. Why are these officials lawless? They are all the people of Daqin.
"Have you found out?" Li Chen suppressed the anger in his heart.
"The Ministry of Works has handed over the case, this is a file." Chen Ping handed the file in his hand to Li Chen, his fingers trembling slightly.
Today, it is Chen Ping who is in charge of the intelligence work, and he is also responsible for it.
The Ministry of Works’ files did not show what Li Chen expected, and they were all excuses. "The continuous rainy days caused the mountains to seep and collapse, and the Ministry of Works sent people to rescue them as soon as possible. The plague in the village was caused by the corpse."
This seemingly reasonable explanation is actually full of loopholes. Not to mention the officials of the Ministry of Justice, even the yamen runners who have handled the case slightly, they all know that things will definitely not be so simple.
"Bang."
"I'm not going to see this." Li Chen slammed the file in his hand on Chen Ping's face. Chen Ping seemed to be like Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, a high-end version of the Three Kingdoms. Such a person is smart and talented, but he is also good at protecting himself. What he gave Li Chen was the file submitted by the Ministry of Works to the Ministry of Justice, not the news that Tianting found. The meaning here is to tell Li Chen not to go into it. It is the best choice to make a conclusion.
"Mr. Marquis, this time is either black or white. Some things are really impossible to investigate." Chen Ping let the file hit his face and persuaded him with great thought.
"Marty, Shu'er said that she was involved in the harem at this time, otherwise she would have forgotten it." Zhao Que also advised. It was no secret in the Qin Dynasty's officialdom at this time. Because it involved a favorite concubine and prince of the First Emperor, the entire Qin Dynasty officialdom seemed to have agreed to the Ministry of Works. No one went to investigate, or no one dared to investigate.
"I don't want to ask for it a second time," Li Chen remembered the angry voice.
Li Chen has a very good temperament. Whether it is Chen Ping or Zhao Que, he has never seen Li Chen get angry. At this time, Chen Ping no longer dared to conceal "The merchants who contracted this section of the road often have friendship with the young master, and it is said that they are from the surname of the young master Chang's mother. In order to speed up the progress, the contractor rushed to work on a rainy day, which triggered the accident. After the accident, due to the conflict between the villagers and the contractor, the entire mountain village became such a hell on earth the next day. It must be that the contractor was afraid that the villagers would make trouble, so he simply did not do anything and poisoned all the villagers. Because the participation of the royal family was found, Tianting dared not investigate it."
The rest of the matter Li Chen could think of it, must have been after the contractor poisoned it, and the matter involved the royal family. In order to help the prince to provide a guarantee, the Ministry of Works will put this matter on the plague.
"Thousands of lives have been born and taken, these beasts."
"Zhao Que, follow me to the palace. Today, I will break the sky, and I will bring these people to the Dharma." Li Chen's eyes were red, like an angry lion.
"Marty, the tiger is poisonous and does not eat his son. This matter involves the prince. Li Ji is His Majesty's most favored concubine. In this case, I'm afraid you will be tired of Your Majesty." Chen Ping was still persuading Li Chen, and he was indeed thinking about Li Chen.
"Chen Ping, remember, you can only become an official before you can become an official. I may not be this marquis, but I must be a person." Li Chen said word by word.
"Think about it carefully, next time, you will still go back to your Peixian fortune teller." Li Chen patted Chen Ping on the shoulder and said.
"Brother Chen, don't care. The marquis has such a temperament. This is why we follow him wholeheartedly." Zhao Que said to Chen Ping.
"Yes, Ping is wrong. But if something happens to the marquis, who can think about the people like this?" Chen Ping whispered.
"I will enter the palace with the Marquis, Brother Chen, please rest assured." After Zhao Que said that, he chased Li Chen.
Soon, a well-equipped carriage drove out of Lijiazhuang and ran towards the palace.
"Mr. Chen, Brother Chen is also thinking about you." In the carriage, Zhao Que was still persuading Li Chen.
"I know." Li Chen said.
Chen Ping is too sleek. Li Chen really doesn't want Chen Ping to become a double-edged sword like Jia Xu in the Three Kingdoms in his previous life. If such a person is left to him, he will definitely be able to survive to the end, but it may affect many innocent people.
Perhaps because of the difference in thinking, Li Chen could sacrifice a few people for the majority of people, but he could never accept the sacrifice of most ordinary people because of a few noble people. What is more hateful than a hero who uses martial arts to ban the law is to know the law and break the law.
"Marty, the royal family who directly involved this matter was Gongzi Chang, while Gongzi Gao, Ziying, the imperial uncle Xiong Qi, and Li Ji were suspected of sheltering. As for the civil and military ministers of the court, there were countless people who covered up, but did not report the information, and turned a blind eye to each other." Zhao Que said in a nagging manner, all these news were told by Ying Shu. If the royal family was involved, no one dared to go directly to investigate without the orders of the First Emperor.
The First Emperor had a total of 23 sons and 10 daughters. The young master Yingchang was the seventeenth son, and the young master Yinggao was the third son. Yingchang and Yinggao were both born to Li Ji. Although they were a compatriot, Yingchang was a playboy who only made trouble, and Yinggao was different. This person could be considered both civil and military. As for Ziying, Qin Sanshi, who served as the King of Qin for 46 days later, he was the nephew of the First Emperor and now he has a position as a minister in the Ministry of Works.
"Win Xiong Qi, this old guy." Li Chen cursed. Every time he sheltered the royal children who made mistakes, this old guy took the lead. He really couldn't do anything and was the first place in the short-term protection.
It seems that God doesn't want to calm the Qin Dynasty, and it's still not yet calm and the waves are coming again and again. It's a turbulent time.
