Chapter 50: Picking the Road (2)

Li Bo found that Wen Li and others had already arrived in Qi County. He knew that Wen Li had known about his greed and murderous intent in his heart. Wen Li was calm and allowed him to put him under house arrest. He spent a lot of gold and silver to invite one of the elders of the clan to find the wind, but there was no result. Li Bo did not dare to act rashly for a while. His Majesty sent people to Qi County, so he was naturally targeting him. Killing Wen Li and others was no different from plotting against him.

So Li Bo sent someone to Chengdu Road to inquire about the news and find his old friends and friends in Chengdu to help collect information. It took several days to go back and forth. Li Bo was not idle either. He took his servants to go around the house according to the list of people who should receive pensions. After intimidation, the people believed that they were unlucky and agreed to cooperate with Li Bo to tell lies. He did everything he should do, and added a lot of guards to the government office.

After finally waiting for the news to come back, he was happy and sad. He was happy that there was no public news on Wenli's trip. No one except His Majesty would know even if he died. He was worried that His Majesty had just announced the whereabouts of four people and ordered the four people to supervise the investigation of Chen and Xu's industries in each county. This means that Li Bo missed the opportunity to start and regretted it.

Chen and Xu were trapped in the hands of the current saints. Although the Li family is a "local emperor" with a radius of hundreds of miles, they are not arrogant enough to compare with Chen and Xu. Li Bo gritted his teeth and consulted the elders in the family and begged the clan to provide shelter and help. Li Mao was also a guy who was jealous of money. He felt happy to see Li Bo coming to honor him again. When Li Bo explained his purpose, Li Mao felt uncomfortable. Li Bo naturally knew that Li Mao knew that even knew more about the movements in the court than Li Bo. He could not help or dare to help. The clan had already passed on words. When encountering such a thing, he must clear the relationship.

As the head of a county, Li Bo has a great status in the clan. He added a lot of treasures to Li Mao, asking him to help mediate in the clan. Li Mao knew the risks, but he could not take his eyes off at the gold and silver treasures. He gritted his teeth and finally agreed. Seeing that Li Mao agreed to help him move in the clan, Li Bo was relieved. Money is really a good thing.

Soon after the envoys sent by the court came, Liu Bo agreed to help find Wen Li and others after receiving the order. Li Bo was not sure how to convince Wen Li and Guan Hu. But he had all his money, so he pulled Wen Li and Guan Hu into a boat and the matter was solved. Let's go back and forth, we will thoroughly investigate the property of the two major worlds, and we will make a profit. The temptation alone may not be effective, and we must also force it. Two-pronged approach is the magic medicine. He led Wen Li Guan Hu to the main hall and killed Liu Shao and others first. This is the right position. On one side, there are gold, silver and treasures, and on the other side, the death of the yellow spring is very easy to choose.

In the hall, Li Bo was sure to win and continued to put pressure on Wen Li with words. Wen Li felt ache in his heart and wanted to tear Li Bo out of his body! Li Bo was talking loudly, but suddenly he heard someone outside the hall laughing: "A corrupt official is about to die, but still dream?" Hearing the familiar voice, Li Bo jumped up suddenly, and Guan Hu, Liu Shao, Fan En and others walked in. Wen Li saw that everyone was fine, and held Guan Hu's hand and couldn't speak excitedly.

"How could this be? You are not..." Li Bo was very surprised. When he saw the elder Li Mao and the infantry captain Wang Jiecai of the county suddenly realized when he saw several people strode into the back.

"You! You dare to betray me!" As his emotions fluctuated, Li Bo rushed towards Li Mao.

Li Mao didn't look at Li Bo directly, but just shouted, "Take it down!" Naturally, the Li family members came forward behind him, and subdued Li Bo in a few strokes. Li Bo was pressed to the ground and struggled desperately, constantly shouting and scolding. Li Mao's eyes turned around, and some members came forward to block Li Bo's mouth.

Seeing that the situation was stable, Li Mao bowed and said, "I'm late, please forgive me."

"The envoy of the court has been waiting outside the hall, and I also asked Lord Wen to accept the order." Wang Jie walked to Wen Li and made a gesture of inviting him.

Li Mao, who was interrupted, had a very high status among the clans. Even Li Bo, the county magistrate of Dongguanghan, was also a ritual for his sons and nephews. Not to mention that Li Mao had an old age with Qiao Zhou, how could he allow the little Wang Jie to be arrogant?

"Prince Wang! Haven't you seen me talking with Lord Wen?" Li Mao shouted angrily.

Wang Jie said respectfully to Li Mao: "Also, Li is young, the court is big, and state affairs are the priority." After saying that, he turned around and took Wen Li and others out of the hall.

The wealthy family in Li County was not the Li family, there were still many families including Wang and Gao. Everyone was watching the actions of the court. Wen Li exposed his identity before the government office and soon learned about it for each family. Now Li Bo, an important member of the Li family, caused trouble. As one of the local snakes, the Wang family naturally liked to step on it.

Li Mao was so angry that he didn't dare to neglect it. He followed him to the courtyard and knelt down with everyone to receive the order. Wen Li and others sighed inwardly that the imperial edict was coming at the right time. If it was late, it would be impossible to escape the bad luck.

The news about Dong Guanghan quickly reached the Chengdu palace. After seeing it, Liu Chan was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed. The people from the Li family were so bold that they disobeyed the orders and deceived the people. They even had to move the pensions that the people deserved. They were simply bold. The ministers were waiting quietly for Liu Chan to curse enough, and they were thinking in their hearts that the Li family was really unhappy. After he healed, they forgot to hurt. This time, they saw how His Majesty dealt with the Li family.

The Li family in Qi County has some connection with Liu Chan. When Zhuge Liang passed away, Li Miao, the then patriarch of the Li family in Qi County, wrote a letter to say that he angered Liu Chan, who was mourning for Zhuge Liang. The consequences can be imagined, and he ended up in prison and killed. Who would have thought that decades later, the Li family in Qi County was another lineage that provoked Liu Chan, the emperor of Shu Han.

Chengdu soon issued an instruction, and the prefect of Guanghan, Zhang Wei, led his army to Dongguanghan again to assist Wenli in handling the case. The rebellions in the four counties were wiped out by Liu Chan, and the Li family in the mere county did not have the courage or strength to use any weapons. Zhang Wei's army only played a deterrent role.

The patriarch of the Li family was also furious. Such a big mess occurred during such a sensitive period. His Majesty had just cut off more than a thousand people, but was there still hundreds of people in the Li family? At this time, it was too late to say anything, and it was true that they were quick. So the Li family began to move around, clearing their relationship with Li Bo, etc.

When other families in Xi County saw the opportunity, they helped Wen Li and others collect evidence of Li Bo. Among them, the Wang family even mobilized a large number of people. At this time, everyone was worried and afraid. How could they have the intention to "help others" for self-protection? It would be good not to participate in the Wang family's injustice. The Li family had an activity but had no effect at all. In desperation, they had to leave it to fate.

After arranging everything in the village, Ma Cheng came to Chengdu with his three sons and more than a hundred confidants and accepted the formal appointment of Liu Chan. Ma Cheng was named General of the Supplementary Han, and his three sons were all appointed as the Imperial Guard and were trained in the army. The ministers in the court had long heard the news that Ma Cheng was invited back by His Majesty himself and would be used in the future. So the ministers who had not walked with the Ma family for many years came to congratulate him.

Ma Cheng traveled all over the country, and Xisai outside the region can be said to be knowledgeable, and Liu Chan came from later generations with amazing information. Although Ma Cheng's experiences were not as good as the historical predecessors of some regions, Liu Chan was unfamiliar with this era and benefited a lot from talking. Three new horses were newly introduced in the palace, all of which were selected by Ma Cheng in the village. Liu Chan liked riding all day long, and three horses could not ride one by one, so he gave them to Guan Yi and Zhang Zun. For warriors, having a BMW on the battlefield means a lot, and the most direct thing is that the chance of saving lives has increased greatly. The two generals were moved to see His Majesty so generous.

On that day, Liu Chan summoned Ma Cheng into the palace, and Yang Xi, Fan Jian, Zhuge Zhan, and Qiao Zhou were among the four people who entered the palace. When they arrived at the imperial study room, Liu Chan brought Xi Zheng, Sima Shengzhi, Xu Xun, and Yin Zong had been waiting for a long time. Unlike before, there was a map of animal fur hanging on one wall of the imperial study room. Fan Jian and others looked at the map with familiarity, and they couldn't remember where they had seen it for a while.

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Today's affairs are state secrets, so no one should disclose them."

Everyone's impression of Liu Chan has long changed. After several killings, no one is less than His Majesty's current decision. Everyone said in unison: "I will obey the sacred order!"

"Okay, why can you tell me this?" Liu Chan was very satisfied with the attitude of several ministers.

When everyone heard this, they looked at the map on the wall. The terrain on the map was steep and the mountains were high. After watching for a long time, they realized that some of them were the Nanzhong area of ​​Shu Kingdom, and the remaining places were never heard of.

"Is this picture offered by Huang Hao?" Fan Jian suddenly remembered that Huang Hao had already presented a wooden box on the hall that day, and the map of the animal skin was the object in the box.

"I can't forget Changyuan's eyes, and I admire him!" Liu Chan didn't expect that someone would remember this picture and blurted out.

Ma Cheng said thoughtfully with rich experience: "Your Majesty, is the one drawn in this picture the Poison Country?"

Seeing that Ma Cheng knew him, Liu Chan said happily: "General Ma is worthy of being all over the world, but he actually knows this place?"

"Your Majesty is too good. I just heard about it by chance when I was looking for a good horse, and I have never been there in person." Ma Cheng replied.

The Kingdom of Sindu was what later generations called the Kingdom of India and India. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Zhang Qian went on a mission to the territory and discovered Qiongzhu and Shubu in Daxia, namely Myanmar and Thailand in later generations. So he asked where the locals' Qiongzhu came from. People said that they were brought from the Kingdom of Sindu. When Zhang Qian met Emperor Wu of Han, he suggested that there was a road to the Kingdom of Sindu.

Emperor Wu of Han followed Zhang Qian's advice and sent four groups of people to find the legendary Ancient Road to explore the legendary Phosphorus. Unexpectedly, three groups of people were blocked by tribes in the mountains and could not move forward. Only one group of people arrived at Dianchi Lake, which was the Kunming of later generations. With the help of the Dian King, the people continued to try to travel west for more than ten years. Unfortunately, they were blocked by the local "Kunming" people and could not pass. "Kunming" is not a place name, but a type of local ethnic minority, and the name of the race is "Kunming".

The official efforts have come to an end, but this path does exist. With the development of the times, exchanges and communication among the people have gradually become frequent. Specialties from Shu are transported to Daxia through this road, and even further away from Zhendu and Daxia people have also moved to Nanzhong. With the introduction of Buddhism, the exchanges between Nanzhong and other countries have been increased. Now, Yongchang County, Nanzhong, Shu Kingdom, has already seen the figure of Zhendu people living in Yongchang County.
