These people walked in a hurry. After selecting the books, they came to a small open space in the middle. There were more than a dozen slender silk threads hanging there. After hanging the books they found, the silk threads quickly rose upwards and passed through the top. An entrance leads to the fourth floor.
At the same time, a silk thread fell quickly, and a note was hanging on it. As soon as it reached the height of half a person on the third floor, someone would immediately take off the note and hurriedly went to the bookshelf to look for the book. Put it on the silk thread and send it to the fourth floor, repeating the cycle over and over again.
Wang Qizhi came to Lu Jingzhi and asked in a low voice: "Where is this place?"
Lu Jingzhi did not hide it, and said softly truthfully: "This is also a library, but the books hidden here are all the identity information of important figures in the three places."
Wang Qizhi continued to ask: "Why three places?"
Lu Jingzhi said: "There is no need to say more about the two regions of Wei and Southern Xinjiang. The more detailed we have, the better it will be for us. As for our Chu region..."
Before Lu Jingzhi could continue to speak, Wang Qizhi signaled that he didn't need to say more, as he already knew the reason.
The King of Chu controlled people's hearts and was a master of power, even worse than Wei Meng. He could only sleep peacefully if he found out everything about the family backgrounds of local officials and important figures. If someone wants to do something evil, he can be found out immediately, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, and eradicate everyone by their roots.
A few years ago, there was such a big case in the Chu region that shocked the world. A general with a heavy army wanted to rebel. He was not only a general, but also the brother of a favored concubine. He was also a relative. He wanted to be with The younger sister cooperated inside and outside to kill Chu King Wu Youding. Unexpectedly, Jiefanying found out about it. Lu Jingzhi quickly went to the palace secretly to report the matter to the King of Chu. Wu Youding was furious when he learned about it, but he did not say anything, but let him Lu Jingzhi secretly collected evidence.
Not long after, when pieces of evidence were placed in front of the King of Chu, he still did not say anything. Instead, he designed to lure the general, a relative, into the palace, and then secretly sent his beloved general to the military camp. After the beloved general successfully took over the military power of his relative's general, the fun officially began.
When King Wu Youding of Chu hosted a banquet in honor of the general relative, everyone was already enjoying themselves. The former said that he wanted to reward the general relative with some treasures. Soon a maid held a beautiful wooden box and brought it to the general relative's table. Then he hurriedly left, as if there was something terrible inside.
The general, a relative, was so good at the moment that he thought that his brother-in-law was so good to his brother-in-law that he even gave up the plan of rebellion. Little did he know that the next scene completely shocked him.
When he opened the wooden box with a smile, there was a still bleeding human head inside. It looked like it had been beheaded not long ago. The head was the sister of the general's relative.
The general's relatives stared at those eyes as big as copper bells. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He pulled out the sword from his waist and tried to fight the King of Chu. Before he could react, more than a dozen Ouchi masters came to his senses. He subdued him in a dozen rounds and pinned the burly general to the ground.
But the King of Chu, Wu Youding, sat on the high throne and watched all of this coldly without saying a word.
The accompanying ministers had different expressions when they saw this scene. Some were frightened, some were scared, some were secretly happy, and some were even more disdainful. It was simply more exciting than watching a big show.
The general who was a relative was still dissatisfied, saying that if he died, his generals and soldiers would definitely attack the city and let the entire Chu people bury him with him.
The King of Chu just showed a look of disdain and threw the tiger talisman at the young general. His heart thumped and he suddenly lost the idea of continuing to resist. He lay there limply and helplessly like a dead dog.
Later, the king of Chu tied the general who was a relative to a pillar and executed him in Lingchi. He had to be shaved more than 1,500 times before he could die. The general who was a relative was also very stubborn. During the execution, his teeth were broken and he remained silent. He really has some backbone.
As for the general's family, this relative was also massacred. No one, from the 80-year-old man to the newborn child, was spared.
This was not over yet. Under the orders of the King of Chu, Jie Fanying followed the clues and found out all the people involved in this matter. They beheaded them all and showed them to the public. It is said that there were four thousand people involved. These were the famous "foreign relatives" in the Chu region. case".
Outsiders can't comment on whether this matter is right or wrong. No matter what, at least the common people were not involved. However, in Wang Qizhi's view, it would be too cruel to implicate the whole family, including the elderly and children, if one person makes a mistake. , but this is the way the world is. If Chen Chenggong, the general who is a relative, is in charge, more people may die.
Wang Qizhi pointed to the silk thread hanging there and asked, "What are these things used for?"
Lu Jingzhi was not bored at all, but was somewhat relieved. As young people, it is always good to ask more and listen more, which will be of great help to oneself.
"These threads are also very simple and are used to pass things and items up and down the stairs."
Before Wang Qizhi could ask, Lu Jingzhi took the lead in explaining: "This can reduce the time of collecting information and pass on useful things as soon as possible."
"The people here are all soldiers from Jiefan camp and the king who were buried with him. Apart from doing things, they have no feelings to speak of, and they are not likely to go out and talk nonsense."
Wang Qizhi nodded and remained silent.
The two came to the entrance on the right and continued to the fourth floor. As expected, the security there was even heavier. Not only did they need to be searched when entering, but they also had to be identified. Of course, Lu Jingzhi didn't need this. Who asked him to He's the general here.
Following the stone stairs, he finally reached the fourth floor. The scene there completely shocked Wang Qizhi.
There are more than a hundred large long tables inside, with pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and a pile of books on them. There is a person sitting next to each table. They seem to be writing something. There are several or more pens on the top of each person's head. There were more than a dozen thin threads, and books and secret messages in bamboo tubes kept falling on the thin threads above their heads. After they collected these things, they began to look at them carefully, and wrote something while reading the books. After writing, they put the small paper Put the strip into the bamboo tube and hang it on the thin line above your head. With a slight pull, the thin line quickly flew up the mountain and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The thin lines above these people's heads lead to the top of the mountain pass. They are densely crisscrossed together. Looking at it, it looks like a huge spider web, with different items falling from it.
As for the entrance on the floor that connects to the third floor, there are more than a dozen people waiting there. Once books come up, someone will pick up the books and send them to different tables. They seem to have a clear division of labor and perform their duties without any trace of confusion. Signs of panic.
