On the tenth day of January, the black husband was wearing casual clothes, wrapped in a scarf, wearing a black robe, sitting on the carriage, behind him was the gradually blurred Anlu City Wall...

He was not alone. Cao Lingshile was going to work in the county town and was also walking with Heifu. He was too lazy to ride a horse, so he got on Heifu's carriage and took the initiative to drive for Heifu. He smiled and said, "Official doctor, Zuo Wei gave you a thousand dollars, wouldn't you take it seriously?"

Giving money is an unwritten practice in the officialdom of various countries. If someone goes to guard the country and becomes an official, his colleagues will give it to him with silk cloth and money, which is called money. In fact, it is a red envelope for farewell. The minor officials in the county town do not have much salary, so ordinary people only give one hundred, two hundred, and those with deep friendship will give three or five hundred.

But today, when Heifu's friend came down to see him off outside the city, Zuo Wei's nephew Yunxiong appeared inappropriately and also gave him a gift with a smile. Heifu weighed it and was afraid that it would be as much as a thousand dollars...

Of course, Heifu knew that it was Yun's showing kindness to him, but Heifu did not intend to write off the previous complaints. He smiled and threw the wallet back to Yunxiong, saying that he had received Zuo Wei's kindness, but if he received the "huge sum of money".

"Aren't you just becoming the Zuo Wei bribed me?"

Heifu told a joke that made Yun Xiong look sour, then bowed to everyone and left...

"If I give it to me, I'll accept it."

Le haha ​​smiled, and at the same time he turned around and shouted to the person behind him: "You must arrive in Jiangling in late January, and you cannot delay. You can speed up and follow the carriage. If someone is tired, go to ride my horse. Remember to watch out for the criminal!"

The two prisoners wearing wooden clamps were escorted, and the three or five prisoners slowly walked slowly agreed. At the same time, someone joked: "There are warriors, heroes, such as officials, and we are with us, so they don't dare to run away."

Heifu said a few words humbly and asked Le in a low voice: "Le Lingshi, what crimes have these two committed? The county court cannot even come to trial, so you still want to take them to Jiangling in person?"

Le shook his head: "These two brothers are crazy about money, and they dare to steal coins at home!"

Blackfu glanced at the two men in a mess behind the carriage: "This is a serious crime."

After going to Wei and Chu, Heifu was deeply moved that the government could not control the circulation of private coins in other countries, so he simply released the law and let you cast them casually. The Qin State was uniformly minted by the state, and local and private minted coins were strictly prohibited. The Qin Law clearly stipulated that in addition to "searching the house" and confiscating the house, the money and money he had cast was confiscated, and the punishment of Chengdan should be arrested and severely punished.

Even so, many people still take risks because the denomination value of copper coins is greater than the actual value of their raw materials. It is absolutely profitable to mint coins without being discovered.

Ledao: "Although some of the half liang coins circulating on the market have been circulated for too long and have been damaged, they are of the same size and color. When the workshop minted coins according to Xianyang's standards, but in the twelfth lunar month, there were more coins with darker colors on the market, which must be counterfeit coins. So I followed the clues and caught two craftsmen, and found the copper model of coins in their homes, as well as 1,100 new coins that I just made!"

So the two were confirmed to be stolen casting, but during the trial of the prison, they revealed even more amazing facts: the mold used by the two was obtained from Jiangling. It is said that there was also a stolen casting gang in Jiangling, and the quality of the copper coins casting was no different from the official copper coins casting!

This is no longer something Anlu County can handle. Le was ordered to escort the two of them to the county town and hand them over to the county judge for trial.

At the same time, Le also sighed: "Oh, Xijun is not here, and these cases have been dealt with a lot of time."

Heifu smiled and said, "I heard that Xijun was transferred to the county town last year and also served in the county prison chief?"

"Yes." Le said: "Xijun was attracted by the censor and recommended it to the county magistrate, so he was promoted and is now a left prisoner in the county magistrate Cao."

The Qin State had already divided the Cao Cao in counties, but it was not the six Caos that were neatly arranged in later generations. Instead, it was divided more. Heifu knew that in addition to the chief, he had made merits, such as warehouses, fields, households, prisons, soldiers, and thieves, which were equivalent to the various departments and bureaus in the province. The chief officials of each Cao Cao called him "deputy" (yuàn). In name, he was the same level as the county magistrate, but in fact he was even higher. Those who took the title below the public were not allowed to hold the position.

There are two assistant officials under the commanders of each Cao Cao, named after the left and right, and are generally held by official officials and duke officials. Xi is only a good official, but can be promoted to the Left Prison Cao Shi, which is definitely an exception to be promoted.

Heifu was helpless: "I thought I would be considered a high-level high after I came back, but I expected that our position would still be the same."

This time he was enlisted into the county town and served as the "Left Military and Military History".

"It would be great if the official and the doctor went to the thief Cao to serve."

Le quipped: "Maybe after this case is examined by Xijun, you can still assist in arresting people."

Heifu laughed: "I also want to work with Xijun."

That being said, but in the military affairs, this is what the black man needs most. The thief is equivalent to the Provincial Public Security Department and is in charge of public security. However, the military affairs are equivalent to the provincial military region, specializing in conscription, training, combat and other corps affairs.

Heifu also knew that the person who transferred him to serve was the new Nanjun County Magistrate Li You, who was self-evident.

Li You want to make good achievements in Nanjun!

Heifu secretly guessed: "In the first battle to attack Chu, Xianyang was amazed by the excellent performance of a remnant soldier in Nanjun, and Li You also tasted the sweetness of leading this soldier. So he applied for an external transfer to coordinate the military affairs of Nanjun, which was just right. This was to prepare for the second attack on Chu."

The county magistrate soldier with a military position of two thousand stones, which matched the title of Zuo Shuchang. Nanjun was also a major county on the front line of attacking Chu. Li You personally recruited and trained troops and led them to fight, which made it easier for him to make contributions.

This is both happy and worried for the people of Nanjun. What is happy is that they finally don’t have to treat them as “miscellaneous troops” like the last war, and do something to lure the enemy, fill in the ravines, and cut off the rear. What is worrying is that when the war starts again, Nanjun may have to recruit more soldiers and bear heavier responsibilities.

But the general who attacked Chu for the second time was Wang Jian. Heifu felt much more at ease when he heard this, at least he felt much more reliable than Li Xinwei's general.

"Li You is from Shangcai, and most of the people who surrender to Li Si are You Shiwen and civil servants. I believe there is no knowledge of military affairs and people familiar with this county can be used, so I was recruited to serve in the military. With Li You as my backer, I don't have to worry about being excluded. I still have to think carefully about how to achieve results..."

Thinking of this, Heifu yawned and fell asleep on the swaying carriage.

...

Nanjun is a large county with a territory of thousands of miles. The distance from Anlu to the county town is not close, and it is more than 400 miles. Heifu and his team walked for seven or eight days, heading west, passing Xinshi, Yundu, Dangyang, and then entering the Xia Road, which is connected to the north and south, and turning south.

When I was hungry and tired, I rested in the pavilion house along the way. Looking at the pavilion chiefs, fathers and husbands who were busy with entertainment, I remembered the days I had at Huyang Pavilion earlier.

On January 18th, the dusty crowd approached the center of Nanjun.

There were gradually more pedestrians on the road, including vendors traveling from south to north, garrisons serving in labor, prisoners with disheveled heads, and sloppy officials, and small officials with hurrying footsteps. Sometimes there were many people, and even had to avoid the road left to pass.

This area is also Yunmeng. On the banks of the river, the climate has warmed up in mid-January. The rice fields on the roadside are endless. There are hundreds of thousands of farmers and subordinates scattered in the fields, rushing to plow oxen and plow the fields.

Tian Dian wearing soap clothes, Tian Zuoli stood on the edge of the field and glanced at Heifu and his group, but just took a casual look, then turned around and continued to urge everyone to work hard on the field.

"It's worthy of being the county seat."

He said with a smile: "The official and the doctor walked in Anlu County wearing a double crown, which will attract frequent attention. Looking back and bowing, but before he reached the county town, the officials by the field seemed to be used to it, and just took a look and stopped looking."

"What is my title of official and official, what is it to be in the county?"

The black husband laughed in silence. He had heard that in the county town, there were many public servants and doctors walking all over the ground. Unless they were officials of the five doctors, they were worthy of attention.

At this time, a city had appeared in front of everyone.

The wide and deep moat circles the city, and the waves are sparkling under the twilight. After passing the moat, we are facing the majestic city gate, with two big characters on the top of the gate.

"Ying County."

Heifu breathed a sigh of relief and his destination arrived.

"Doctor, you and I will say goodbye."

Le Yiyi reluctantly got off Heifu's carriage and bowed to him. They had to bypass the city and walk five or six miles south to reach the real county seat: Jiangling.

It turned out that after Qin State controlled the Jianghan State, the original Chu State's Yingdu was divided into two parts. The Chu Palace in the north was Ying County. The resident Shisi District in the south was called Jiangling County. The county magistrate and the county magistrate were stationed in Jiangling. The Nanjun County magistrate was stationed in Ying County, which was easier to defend and difficult to attack.

The county magistrate's capital is generally not in the first county, but has its own separate capital, which is also the norm in the Qin State.

Heifu watched Le and others take the prisoner away on the fork road, then took a deep breath and asked the driver to drive down the gate of Yingxian County.

Unlike merchants gathering and prosperous Jiangling, Ying County has a bit of the temperament of a military city.

Flags were flying on the five-meter-high city wall, and county soldiers patroled and walked on it, and more than a dozen soldiers wearing spears and armor stood on both sides of the city gate.

Heifu showed his own verification, biography, and the letter of office sent to him by Li You. The servant looked at each word carefully and kept looking up to observe Heifu's face. There was no problem checking, so he let him enter the city. "The Qin State was too troublesome, and the recruitment was urgent. I didn't even have time to change the name from the county town officials, otherwise I would be in trouble."
