Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 62, Li Yi
"A descendant of Lord Yan?" Ziyou asked with narrowed eyes.

"That's right, my grandfather is Lord Yan." Chu Liyi said neither humble nor overbearing. Although their Chu Li lineage has declined, the pride of belonging to the Qin clan is still there in his bones, so when he saw someone bullying and tricking him, Qin Liyi When he was a commoner, the responsibility in his bones made him stand out.

"My name is Ziyou, you should know my name, right?" Ziyou looked at Chu Liyi and said.

"I've heard of Mr. Ziyou's name. Mr. Ziyou proposed the three measures to control locusts. It's a pity that these big clans don't treat the people of our Qin country as human beings, and only care about themselves." Liyi said with some hatred.

"Do you want to change this situation?" Ziyou said calmly.

"Think!" Chu Liyi looked at Ziyou firmly and said.

"Adore me as your teacher, and I will teach you how to govern a powerful and powerful family." Ziyou looked at Chu Liyi and said.

Zhao Gao and Wang Ben looked at Ziyou in astonishment, and looked at Qi Liyi with some envy. If Qi Liyi worshiped Ziyou as his master, as long as he grows up smoothly, he will definitely be listed in the court of Qin State in the future, Ziyou's disciple, Yan Liyi The grandson of the king, the former clan, no matter how you look at it, he is an inevitable figure who started in Jiuqing and was the king's queen.

Xi Liyi looked at Ziyou with a complicated expression and said

"I can't promise sir now, I need to think about it."

"Son, although you are a descendant of Lord Yan, the Xili lineage has already declined. Countless people want to be apprentices to you. If you give up now, you may have no chance." Zhao Gao reminded.

"No, I'm waiting for you. I'll work here for three days. In these three days, you can find me when you think about it. How about asking me as your teacher?" Ziyou asked, looking at Xi Liyi.

"Okay, thank you sir." Chu Liyi bowed to Ziyou, and then left.

Looking at Chu Liyi's figure, Wang Ben said in a low voice

"Sir, although the Xili lineage is a concubine, and now he has left the royal family, his blood is still the royal bloodline. If you rashly accept Xiliyi as a disciple, there may be objections from the clan."

Wang Ben is different from Li Xin, he is a full-fledged Yingzheng faction, because his father, Wang Jian, was a servant of Yingzheng, so the label of Yingzheng on him cannot be removed. Wei Tu couldn't help reminding.

"Don't worry, the clan will be very happy to see this matter. Since the three generations of Qin monarchs, the Chu family has continued to grow. Who can tell whether the current Qin Dynasty is the Qin Dynasty or the Chu Dynasty? They will be very happy. I saw Chu Liyi." Ziyou said confidently, since King Zhaoxiang, the temples of the Qin Kingdom have always been dominated by the Chu clan, even if the four nobles were expelled, King Zhaoxiang attracted a large number of foreign sages to settle in the court hall , but the Chu family is still too big to lose. Even if it is temporarily suppressed, it will soon counterattack, as is the case with today's court.

Although Lu Buwei is the number one power in the temple today, Lu Buwei's foundation is too shallow and the influence of foreign relatives such as the Chu family that has been rooted in Qin for a hundred years is still insufficient. The combined forces of the Zhao family and Lu Buwei of the Queen Mother Zhao can suppress the Chu family .

Wang Ben and Zhao Gao saw that Ziyou was very afraid of the Chu family. Although they didn't know why Ziyou was so afraid of the Chu family, they had silently distanced themselves from the Chu family. His father, Wang Jian, talked about this matter.

"Sir, what are we going to do next?" Zhao Gao asked.

"Ask from this man how he summoned the locusts. Secondly, Wang Ben went home and mobilized a team of guards from your father. This middle-aged man escorted him back to Xianyang." Ziyou said.

"Sir, do you want to borrow a knife to kill someone?" Wang Ben said.

"No, the battle in the court naturally requires professional people. These people can't do without the figure of Lord Chang'an. Now we represent the King of Qin, and we can't tear ourselves apart with the Chu family, so the best way is to send them to the court. , someone will make a move." Ziyou said.

"Yes, sir." After Wang Ben finished speaking, he rode away and went back to mobilize the manpower.

Zhao Gao glanced at Ziyou and said

"Sir, did you send Wang Ben away on purpose?"

"It's pretty smart. The Wang family is a staunch supporter of the king, and they are also one of the big families. If they rashly start a war with those big families, the Wang family will be implicated. How can they be entrapped by allies? This kind of thing is still left to those who can handle it." Come on, don't worry, he will thank us afterwards." Ziyou smiled slightly.

Bei Mingzi, Bei Mingzi, coming and going is indecent. Li Xin, who was guarding the middle-aged man at this time, couldn't help but sneezed, and then felt a chill. He felt that someone was plotting against him.

"At any time, you must learn to follow the trend and take advantage of it, especially when facing an enemy stronger than yourself. You must think that the enemy of the enemy is your friend, but be careful of seeking skins from tigers." Ziyou said.

"Zhao Gao is taught."

"Take him and follow me to find Li Xin." Ziyou said.

"It's sir." Zhao Gao found Li Xin with a charlatan in his hand and Ziyou.

Li Xin was in charge of guarding the middle-aged man. He was currently in a simple prison cell in the village. Outside, Li Xin was talking to the elders. Seeing Ziyou and Zhao Gao approaching, the four rushed forward.

"Mr. Ziyou." The four saluted.

Ziyou skipped his body to avoid the three elders' salute, and joked that these three people who add up to two hundred years old saluted him, he couldn't bear it, after Ziyou returned the salute Li Xin and Zhao Gao stood behind Ziyou, Ziyou You and the old man sat around the table, listening to the old man talking about this matter.

"The common people are still too afraid of locusts. Although they are led by the army, they still dare not. In addition to the propaganda of these people, if it weren't for the military orders, the soldiers would not dare to hunt and kill locusts." The third elder said.

In ancient times, locusts represented natural disasters and divine punishment. The common people were deeply afraid of them, and generally dare not hunt and kill locusts at all.

"I understand, I will solve this matter." Ziyou looked at the half-dead charlatan "Zhao Gao, wake him up."

Zhao Gao woke up the quack warlock with a bucket of cold water. The first thing the quack warlock woke up was to run, but he fell to the ground with a kick from Quilt You, and Li Xin grabbed his neck with his sword.

"My lord, don't kill me." The quack warlock kowtowed.

"I only ask you two questions. If you tell the truth, I will let you go." Ziyou said.

"You say?"

"First question, how did you control the locust?" Ziyou asked.

"This"

"It seems that you don't want to say that Zhao Gao sprinkled this powder on his body. It was developed by doctors and has no special effect. It's just that the people who are infected will be extremely itchy. As for the end? You should be able to imagine it. .” Ziyou took out a bottle of powder from his pocket and threw it to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao took the medicine bottle, looked at the quack warlock on the ground and said
"If I were you, I would say it, and maybe my husband would let you go."

Seeing that the other party refused to speak, Zhao Gao directly sprinkled the medicine powder on his body. Before the charlatan could react, a strange itching spread all over his body, as if countless ants were crawling and biting him. , For a moment, the charlatan scratched his whole body frantically, and soon his face and body were covered with countless scratches.

Zhao Gao and Li Xin looked at the miserable appearance of the quack warlock and turned their heads away, but Ziyou watched with relish, drinking tea while watching.

"I, I, I, I, I said," the quack warlock yelled frantically.

"Give him Zhao Gao." Ziyou threw another bottle to Zhao Gao.

After taking the antidote, the quack warlock lay on the ground panting like a dead dog, and said
"This is a medicine I discovered by accident. I mixed it with other medicines to feed some locusts, and then used these medicines to attract small groups of locusts to pretend to be locust gods and defraud money. I was just defrauding in some remote mountain villages. , But then someone came to see me, hoping to join forces with me.

At first I refused, because I knew that Qin Fazhong would divide the body into five horses for this kind of thing, but they said that there are people above them, so there is no need to worry, they gave me a lot of money, so I believed it, and finally At first we were in Beidi County, and I found that, as they said, the local government was turning a blind eye, so I came all the way to Xili. "

"Do you know who is behind them?" Ziyou asked.

"I don't know, I'm only responsible for playing tricks and counting money, and I don't know the rest."

"Do you still have these medicinal powders and the locusts you fed?" Ziyou asked.

"Yes, but there are not many locusts to feed." Seeing the change in Ziyou's face, the charlatan said quickly, "It doesn't take long to feed. As long as you catch the locusts for me, it only takes seven days to feed them."

"How many locusts can it attract at one time?" Ziyou asked.

"At most tens of thousands, no matter how many locusts there are, they will be attracted by other locusts."

"Zhao Gao took him down to heal his injuries, and it will be useful to keep him in the future." A perfect plan emerged in Ziyou's mind.
