Just when Chen Ke asked the question, the expressions of everyone present changed.
"Bang--"
The cup in Qi Lixi's hand fell directly to the ground. He looked at Qi Siji and Qi Lijun sitting next to him in shock.
It was at this time that Qi Lixi found out why he failed to pass the identity verification.
If he could pass the test like this, then the world would really be in chaos.
Only Qi Siji looked calm: "What did the Governor say?"
"I am just a Guizhou leader. How can I have such great ability and courage to burn you to death?"
"Stop making fun of Xiaomin."
There was no smile on Chen Ke's face, and he just said coldly: "Really?"
"The Governor is not joking."
He said with a hint of regret: "Actually, I'm also very confused about this question. Why do you think I don't know if you visit the people around you?"
"I'm also confused as to why you have become so stupid and reckless, and you are actually planning to burn me to death."
Chen Ke sighed faintly: "What I didn't expect is, why are you sure that I will definitely come tonight?"
There was something as cold and solemn as winter in his words, which made people feel a little confused after listening to them.
Chen Ke looked at Qi Siji: "You exposed this deliberately. You also know that when I appoint officials, I will thoroughly investigate the identities of these people."
"You also know that the most important thing I have done so far when I came to Penglaizhou is to select literary competitions and then select junior officials to carry out reforms."
Chen Ke looked at Qi Siji. Although his words were still questions, his tone was firm and affirmative.
"So, you did this deliberately just to get me to come. The purpose was so that I could see the turmoil of the people in the surrounding villages."
"Is it?"
Qi Siji listened to Chen Ke's words, looked into Chen Ke's eyes, and suddenly laughed loudly.
"Hahahahahahahaha, you are indeed Governor Chen."
"The little old man didn't think he could deceive Governor Chen, but he never expected that Governor Chen would see it right away."
"It really makes me feel ashamed."
Qi Siji stood firm, looked at Chen Ke and said, "Governor Chen, the little old man did this on purpose."
"There are people in Xianyang City who want to do harm to you, but there are people around the little old man."
"Only at this time, those people will withdraw because they have to prepare, and then they can be caught by your people."
"That's why we can talk here."
Chen Ke looked at Qi Siji with doubts in his tone, but also with a touch of confidence that came from nowhere.
"What are you doing for?"
"For power?"
Qi Siji shook his head slightly. He looked at his eldest son Qi Lijun, who had been pushed to the ground beside him, and said, "No, I'm not doing it for power."
He looked at Chen Ke and said with a serious expression: "I am here for the peace of the world."
"Perhaps Governor, you think these words are a bit empty, but they are actually the words from the heart of the common people. I have experienced the war, and I don't want to live that kind of life anymore."
"I was not the only one in my family. I also had a brother and a sister, but they starved to death during the war."
"I am the only one left in the whole family."
Qi Siji said quietly: "When the clan in Xianyang City came to find me, I was actually no longer willing to do such a thing."
"But then I thought about it, if the governor didn't guard against them and really let them succeed, wouldn't the world go back to the Zhou Dynasty back then?"
Qi Lijun, who was pinned to the ground and had not yet reacted, looked confused.
He thought that his father and he were of the same mind, but he didn't expect that he was the only fool in the end?
"Father?"
Qi Lijun's face was full of disbelief: "Have you forgotten?"
"Jingyang Jun promised that if we work hard, when big things are accomplished, he will call our family "Doctor Qing"? "
"How can you focus on the small profits in front of you?"
Qi Siji said coldly: "Doctor Qing? You don't even know what you look like. You don't have the same character, and you still want to be Doctor Qing?"
"You don't even know you were betrayed by that Ying Ku."
He turned his head, looked at Chen Ke and said: "Governor Chen, the clans in Xianyang City have not given up the idea of implementing the enfeoffment system until now."
"They feel that as long as they can stop the Governor's reform and let His Majesty see that the "prefecture and county system" is inferior to the "feudal system" and that there is no one more reliable than the clan in the world, His Majesty will change his mind. "
"I don't know what they will do, I just know their purpose is this."
"For the rest, you just have to be more careful."
Chen Ke looked at Qi Siji and smiled slightly: "I understand."
He looked at Qi Lijun who was standing aside: "As for your son, I will leave it to you to deal with it yourself."
"After tomorrow, let Qi Lixi return to the literary competition."
Chen Ke said softly: "It's just that I can't be awarded an officer. If I can continue to pass the assessment in the future, I will still have a chance."
"I will report this matter to the court, but it will not involve the rest of your family."
"Just take care of yourself."
After finishing speaking, Chen Ke turned around and left. Fusu who followed him had a blank look on his face from beginning to end.
After Chen Ke left, Qi Siji looked at the people holding Qi Lijun around and nodded slightly.
He nodded, and the man understood immediately.
Immediately, the knife in his hand fell directly, and in an instant, the head fell to the ground.
Until his death, Qi Lijun didn't believe that his father would kill him, and Qi Lijun on the side was also stunned.
The night sky seemed to be stained with the smell of blood.
...........
On the way back to the county town.
Chen Ke tilted his head, looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, who is Yingku?"
"Isn't His Majesty's previous attitude clear enough?"
"This person is still thinking about enfeoffment?"
Fusu shook his head slightly: "Teacher, in terms of seniority, Lord Jingyang is my clan uncle and my father's younger brother."
"My grandfather died early, leaving only these children."
"Cheng Jiao defected during the Battle of Changping and was immediately executed. The remaining children did not dare to show their faces. After my father unified the world, these people gradually began to want to divide the kingdom."
"It's just that due to the majesty of my father and the obstruction of Young Master Hui, I have never dared to say it openly."
"Today, if they dare to take action, they must be fully prepared."
Completely prepared?
Chen Ke chuckled: "Then let them prepare. I'm waiting."
........
Qinnu Island
It was only a little more than a year since Da Qin discovered this place.
At this time, Qinnu Island on Qinnu Island was different from what it was a year and a half ago, becoming more like Great Qin.
The city was built and stood on the ground.
The mines in the distance are being dug, and people are constantly transporting silver ore from them.
Footsteps sounded in the jungle.
"The sect leader's army is coming!"
The leader of the Qinnu clan, who was supervising the work, immediately put on a flattering smile.
