Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

Si Qi changed clothes and went out, just in time to meet Zhao Yun's lieutenant, Ye Xiao, who came back early to return to his life.

Zhao Yun calculated that he still had plenty of time, so he took a shortcut on the way to Chengping and took a shortcut to Mount Miu, wanting to try his luck.

The Miushan bandits were avoiding Zhen Shu, Huo Xin and others when they ran into Zhao Yun's encirclement.

Zhao Yun directly killed the bandits. The first bandit leader fell off a cliff and died, while the second leader was captured alive by Zhao Yun.

There was a lot of movement on Zhao Yun's side. Huo Xin, who was struggling to find the bandits, rushed to fight and besieged the bandits in the cottage. Zhao Yun brought Zhen Shuxian back and returned to Si Qi.

Si Qi didn't expect Zhao Yun to have such good luck, but one thing to say, the ability to break into the cottage alone and capture the big and small leaders alive is not just something that can be done by luck.

Luck is also a strength.

Si Qi didn't know what the No. [-] leader who fell down the mountain looked like, according to Zhao Yun, he was a short, thin but very capable man.

And the No. [-] leader who was captured alive in front of him was stunned and didn't look very smart.At this moment, he was tied up and thrown on the ground, and Xun You, Sima Yi and others who were called by Si Qi to the meeting watched him for a long time, and he almost knelt down and cried out.

The embarrassing Siqi who was arranged by Chen Xing to try the case last time is still fresh in his memory, so this time he mainly arranged for Sima Yi, Zhou Buyi and other discerning advisers to preside over the bandit leader.

After almost all the people had arrived, Si Qi came out from behind and set the tone for this interrogation: "Whatever we ask you, you can answer whatever you want. Don't try to be clever and fool the gentlemen. Here, we have always been 'leniency for confession, strictness for resistance'."

Cao Zhi, who was standing diagonally behind Si Qi, couldn't help laughing.

Sima Yi looked back at Cao Zhi.

Sima Yi fell to Cao Pi early in the morning, and Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, as Cao Cao's most beloved sons, have always been in a competitive relationship, so Sima Yi and Cao Zhi have always been friendly, even this time they followed Siqi at the same time When they went out, there was not much communication between the two of them.

The second leader couldn't stand the interrogation by Sima Yi and Zhou Buyi, and couldn't stand Liu Yun's persuasion and intimidation with carrots and sticks, so they quickly recruited everything.

In the early years, there were constant wars in the dynasty. Cui Yi made a fortune by reselling war horses. Later, he worshiped under Cui's family and became even more arrogant. He thought about relying on Cui's family and training an army, like Liu Bei and Sun Quan. In that way, occupy a piece of land and separate power from Cao Cao.

Hearing this, Liu Yun couldn't help shaking his head. Although Cui Yi looked ugly and had a bear-like face, he still thought beautifully.Such a person who can't do well in the local area, has to rely on Qinghe's Cui family to put gold on his face, and stands up straight in the local area. He actually wants to dominate one side and stand shoulder to shoulder with Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others. It's ridiculous!

According to the confession of the second leader, if Cui Yi wants to become a powerful prince, he must first complete the original accumulation of money and grain. At this moment, he found out that some grain would be transported to He'an in Chengping for disaster relief, so he bribed the local county He joined forces with the officers, soldiers and bandits, and led the Cui family's army to march in three directions. Using his mastery of the terrain, he robbed the food sent by Chengping.

There were a lot of physical evidence dropped at the scene, and among the Confused Mountain bandits, the big boss died, the second boss surrendered, and the others were besieged in the cottage. It can be said that everyone is a witness.

Now that there are witnesses and material evidence, and the case has been solved, it is much easier to write a letter to Cao Cao or present a form to the emperor.

What Siqi meant was to ask the officials to decide first, Liu Yun to write to Liu Xie, Sima Yi to write to Cao Cao, and then Zhen Shu to return to Chengping to transfer troops.

When Cao Cao gave a reply and Liu Xie gave instructions, as soon as Chengping's army arrived in Qinghe County, they justifiably took Cui Yi.

Si Qi saw that there were a lot of victims in the surrounding areas, and he was worried that there would be insufficient food in Chengping this time, so it would be a good idea to use the food stored in Cui Yi's home to help the victims.

Everyone present had no objections, only Sima Yi shook his head lightly.

Weng Lord Cheng Ping looks very imposing, but after all, he is still too conformist. Judging from the current situation, Cui Yi has committed a heinous crime. Weng Lord can take the Cui family first and then report to the emperor and Cao Cao, but she would rather suppress it. Letting go of this tone for the time being, he must go through the procedure first, but he is really a cautious person.

There was a lot of movement in Confused Mountain, and Cui Yi also heard that Si Qi had already caught up with the bandits in Confused Mountain, so he was in panic at home all day long.

Si Qi has already deployed manpower outside Qinghe County, and he will arrest Cui Yi and bring him to justice as soon as he escapes.

Cui Yi still had a fluke mentality, and didn't want to leave Qinghe County behind and become a fugitive with nothing, so he didn't flee in fear of crime, but went to Cui's house to seek protection, and promised to sell his obvious property and shop Waiting to dedicate it to the Cui family, I only hope that he can be saved this time.

Not only did the Cui family fail to rescue him, but instead detained him in their own village, they decisively sent the head of the family to He'an to express their friendship with Si Qi, expressing their willingness to hand over the arrested criminal Cui Yi to Si Qi, hoping that the old man would You can raise your hands high, don't blame Cui Yi's crimes on the Cui family, and don't implicate the Patriarch and the Cui family.

The Patriarch of the Cui family also said that although this person always likes to act under the banner of the Cui family, his family has always drawn a serious line with him, and the outrageous things this person has done have nothing to do with the Cui family.

Si Qicai found out later that Cao Zhi and the Cui family's daughter had met for marriage, but Cao Zhi never agreed, and lived in Chengping all the year round, and Cao Cao was busy traveling outside, so he didn't mention it again.

No wonder Cao Zhi behaved a little wrong after seeing the Cui family that day.

Siqi asked Ayu to help the Patriarch of the Cui family up, and said calmly: "Cui Yi is not a child of the Cui family. I will describe this incident objectively and will not record it on your heads. But how does His Majesty and Duke Cao view this matter? How people in the world view the Cui family...is not something I can say."

Cui Yi spent a lot of time thinking about this looting of grain, and it wasn't something that could be planned in a day or two. According to Siqi's speculation, when the first wave of relief grain from the imperial court arrived in He'an, Cui Yi made a plan. The idea of ​​robbing food was just a coincidence that they robbed the food sent by Chengping.

She couldn't believe that Cui Yi's commotion was so loud that the Cui family didn't hear it at all.

However, the Cui family has never exposed the report in advance, nor did they give the authorities a warning. In essence, they still lack a sense of social responsibility. Knowing that Cui Yi colluded with the county guard, the local officials have no way to report. Thinking that more things are worse than less things, they even feel that Cui Yi is good. There is nothing wrong with him, so he has not taken care of it.

Si Qi heard that several children of the Cui family were also involved in this incident, and they would not be able to escape the investigation of the court's criminal law this time. The Cui family also caused a lot of embarrassment. wake up.

Seeing that Lord Weng looked worried, the man immediately stated that his family was guilty of negligence in this incident, and was willing to set up a shed on the outskirts of Qinghe City to give porridge for three months, and then donate half of the annual output of all his fields for this disaster relief. However, if Lord Weng still needs it, just ask someone to come to Cui's house to fetch food.

This statement was somewhat sincere, Si Qi thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement.

After dealing with the Cui family's affairs, Si Qi thought of the bandits again, so he called Zhao Yun to ask how the situation was going there.

Zhao Yundao: "The group of bandits are said to be bandits, but they are actually some poor people who revolted. Due to the constant famine and lack of food and clothing in recent years, they have grown rapidly. Compared with other refugees without special skills, most of these people are still Some people with kung fu skills didn’t do too many bad things, but they just took over the mountain as their king, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, I heard that this year’s spring on the mountain, the pheasants and hares were all wiped out by them.”

That's why he had no choice but to go down the mountain and do bandit work.

Si Qi remembered that before Cao Cao reorganized the Black Mountain Army to reorganize the official army, and now the Mioshan bandits have just started, and they are more suitable for reorganization than the Black Mountain Army.

Si Qi showed a thoughtful look, Zhao Yun was more straightforward, and said bluntly to Si Qi, those bandits are also considered available people, mainly Weng should not consider recruiting?

Si Qi lowered his voice and said "Okay", paused, and then told Zhao Yundao not to mention this matter to Father before setting off for Confusion Mountain.

Zhao Yun smiled and said hello.

On the way to Confused Mountain, Zhao Yun sent his deputy, Ye Xiao, to drive Siqi, and the two quickly became acquainted with each other during the journey.

When it was time to stop for a meal, Zhao Yun came over to Siqi, and saw the old god Siqi sitting on the ground beside him, holding a feather fan knocked out by Liu Yun in his hand, shaking it one after another, yes Looking at Ye Xiao also looks like an elder.

"How old are you Xiaoye? Where is your hometown? How many people are there in your family? Have you married a wife now?"

Ye Xiao answered one by one with a blushing face. Seeing his cuteness, Si Qi couldn't help asking: "Did you leave Jingzhou this time and go out with General Zhao voluntarily?"

Ye Xiao nodded, because General Liu ordered that there would be a subsidy for business trips, especially for Lai Chengping, whose subsidy was doubled, and everyone was willing to go out with General Zhao.

Although Si Qi said that he came out with Zhao Yun to "reorganize" the local armed forces in a serious way, but it was just a formality, let these people recognize their masters, and then he had to rush to Chengping to be trained by Huo Qiulan and others.

The Huo family was born in martial arts for generations, and they have strict rules and regulations. Compared with others, they are more strict with these bandits detained in the village.And he himself is a very clean person, and he couldn't bear the fallen leaves and dry grass in the cottage, so he ordered a few obedient bandits to clean it carefully every day.

As soon as Si Qi went up the mountain, he heard two mountain bandits wearing shackles and being punished to sweep the floor by the gate. I heard that the person who arrested them this time was unusual. She was a very powerful female mountain king, with great power and power , his subordinates are all cruel officials like Huoxing.

Huoxing heard the arrival of the Lord, and went out to greet him. Amid the searching and admiring gazes of everyone, Si Qi was brought to the main hall by Zhao Yun and Huoxing, and sat on the tiger leather stool at the top, instantly feeling like a king of the mountain. .

……

After this battle, Si Qi not only retrieved the lost food, but also confiscated the surplus food accumulated by Cui Yi in the previous years, and reorganized an army with a fairly good kung fu literacy. While the disaster relief was perfectly solved, Qinghe was also solved. The sheriff who was the least optimistic of the people beat the Cui family... It was a worthwhile trip for a moment of fame.

The next thing was smooth sailing, Sima Yi bid farewell to Si Qi, and went back to report to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked Sima Yi about what had happened, and gave Sima Yi a verbal commendation. After Sima Yi reported his work, he asked him how Ah Ying was doing during this time.

Sima Yi said that Mrs. Weng is very good. As soon as they arrived in He'an, King Chang handed over the disaster relief to Mrs. Weng. It can be seen that he trusts her very much. Mr. Xun You and Mr. Cao Zhi are very friendly to her, even Liu Bei General Zhao beside him is also willing to be at her mercy.

Cao Cao said hello with a smile, and said that this child, Ah Ying, has always been like this, and he is the most likable.

As far as Cao Cao knew, Zhao Yun's heart was toward the Han family, and he was very close to Liu Yun and Ah Ying. If Liu Yun had the ability to poach Zhao Yun away and go to work in Chengping, it would be tantamount to directly disabling one of Liu Bei's arms.

Liu Bei is his confidant, Liu Yun is his subordinate, and Si Qi is his "own man". Liu Yun's ability to take Zhao Yun away from Liu Bei is an excellent thing for him.

Sima Yi sensitively discovered that Cao Cao admired Si Qi very much, and this appreciation even surpassed the support and expectations of the elders for the younger generation. Cao Cao would even unconsciously want to consider her as an equal.

From this point of view, this Lord Chengping is indeed an extraordinary character. According to him, he is more capable than dealing with various forces in these years and standing still for many years with His Highness King Li.
