"Zhang Cang is still easy to find..."
In Yangwu, Zhao Si led a group of cavalry through the city. The county officials asked questions one after another, but Zhao Si dismissed them one by one.
Historically, Zhang Cang fled back to his hometown after serving as the censor, and it was dark under the lamp.
However, most people don't dare to play this operation. Zhang Cang has the ability to play tricks under the light, because the Zhang family is a prominent local family in Yangwu.
How hopeful?
The surname Zhang in Yangwu all comes from the prosperous Zhang family.
Zhang Cangna studied under Xunzi and served as the censor of the Qin State. He also had a romantic relationship with Li Si, the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, so he was naturally able to play in the dark.
This is also cheaper for Zhao Si. As a prominent local family, the Zhang family is really easy to find.
"I have surrounded this house. No one is allowed to go out. Even if a bird wants to fly out, I have to shoot it down!" Zhao Si looked like a bully.
After all, Zhang Cang was a fugitive and a member of a local prominent family. Bao Buqi had already learned the news and planned to run away when he came here.
However, being so arrogant and domineering in public is just to deceive others.
Zhao Si is not a fool. Before he entered Yangwu, he had already entrusted the weak Heibingtai to send people to secretly monitor all the passages in and out of Yangwu County, including the dog cave!
After all, Zhang Cang is a fugitive, and he cannot take it too seriously. If Zhang Cang escapes this time, he doesn't know how long it will take him to find such a talented person who can cut his body into pieces.
"You guys, come in with me!"
Zhao Si ordered a dozen more soldiers and filed straight into the Zhang family's residence.
In the mansion, the ministers and concubines were in a panic, and they could only kneel down in a hurry when they saw her.
"Call your master Zhang Cang out!" Zhao Si glanced at Li Chen's concubine who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your master has never returned home since he went to the State of Qin to serve as censor." Chen Ping saw the flustered concubine and hurriedly opened his mouth to cover up for Zhang Cang.
Zhao Si frowned when he heard the sound and looked down, only to see that the person who answered was quite handsome and tall. He didn't look like a slave struggling for food and clothing.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with Zhang Cang?" Zhao Si asked.
"Your Majesty, I am Chen Ping. Tian is a guest of the Zhang family and is responsible for managing the expenses and support of the mansion..." Chen Ping answered.
It's not that Chen Ping doesn't want to use a fake name...
Now the household registration system in Qin is very complete, and everyone on the other side wears armor. If you use a pseudonym, the other side only needs to ask you to show your biography for verification and you can immediately identify your identity. On the contrary, you are smart but you are wrong.
Chen Ping boasted that his reputation was not good, and outsiders did not know his relationship with Zhang Cang. These Qin soldiers were from outside the area, and they were even less likely to know that he and Zhang Cang had communicated and met. If the other party checked the biography, My identity can withstand investigation...
etc……
Chen Ping suddenly noticed that the eyes of the heroic general wearing golden armor in front of him seemed a little strange?
? ? ?
"Chen Ping, show me your biography!"
Zhao Si was already a little stunned when he heard the name Chen Ping.
Chen Ping's wife's surname in history was Zhang, and Yangwu's surname was Zhang. They both came from the same family. Chen Ping and Zhang Cang must be somewhat related.
Now that Chen Ping appears at Zhang Cang's home, what does that mean?
It means that Zhang Cang is in his hometown, and what is Chen Ping talking about? Zhang Cang went to Qin to serve as censor and never came back. This is exactly covering up the facts...
Hey!
It also saves you an extra trip!
When Zhao Si came, he was still thinking that Zhang Cang was from a prominent family and had a good reputation. It would be easy to find Zhang Cang, but Chen Ping was not well-known now and did not live in the county, so he might have some trouble.
It's better now, you can save yourself the trouble of looking for it yourself, Chen Ping will deliver it to your door.
Chen Ping was puzzled, but still handed over his test.
I couldn't help but feel lucky that I was using my real name, otherwise it would have been difficult for the other party to ask for a check.
"Chen Ping, a native of Huyou Township, Yangwu County, six feet tall and five villages, brother Chen Bo..."
A check is just a small sign with name, place of origin, simple height and appearance information engraved on it, and official certificate printed on it.
It is not too difficult to imitate, but this thing is made in two copies and has been registered with the government, so it cannot be fooled even if it is imitated.
"Zhang Cang is not at home?" Zhao Si smiled and put away Chen Ping's test bag but did not return it to him.
"The master has not come back since he went to Xianyang to serve as censor."
"Search..." Zhao Si waved his hand, indicating to the soldiers to search.
Chen Ping wisely stepped aside and cooperated with Zhao Si's soldiers in the search.
"Not found..." The soldiers finally shook their heads.
After all, Li Si was Zhang Cang's senior brother. In order to help Zhao Si, he thoughtfully provided portraits and descriptions to help Zhao Si find his friend who was quartered.
Prime Minister Li has probably changed...
His love for power has not changed, but he also knows that this honor cannot be achieved by himself, and it may even make him surpass Shang Yang's five horses. Therefore, Li Si is more in favor of dragging people into the water.
Although he didn't think Zhang Cang would be stupid enough to hide in his hometown, Li Xiang was still willing to help Zhao Si. Li Si knew Zhang Cang's talents. Zhang Cang indeed had the talents of a king.
"Your Majesty..." Chen Ping asked tentatively after seeing that the search was over.
Zhang Cang had already run away through the tunnel and had probably escaped from Yangwu County now, so his mission was probably completed.
Chen Ping hoped it would end soon. He always felt that the young and handsome general in front of him looked at him strangely, and he felt a little uneasy.
"I didn't catch it..." Zhao Si shook his head and looked at Chen Ping.
"You said your name was Chen Ping, right?" Zhao Si asked.
Chen Ping nodded subconsciously.
"I'll confirm it again now. You said your name is Chen Ping. You have an elder brother named Uncle Chen at home. Your elder brother works day and night to provide for your education. Your sister-in-law was abandoned by Uncle Chen because she had complaints against you. It is this Chen Ping who is right to you. Bar."
Chen Ping nodded subconsciously again.
What Zhao Si said is not a secret. It has been spread among the villagers for a long time.
etc……
Chen Ping suddenly realized that something was wrong. The Jinjia General in front of him was not a local...
Even if this information is not secret, in the final analysis it is just gossip among family members. How could the other party know this information?
You can't let all your gossip spread to Xianyang, right?
Unless...the other party has deliberately investigated himself?
In an instant, Chen Ping felt a crisis in his heart!
Sure enough, looking at the golden-armored general, there was a smile on his face.
"Okay, since you are sure, then come with me!" Zhao Si smiled and waved.
The surrounding soldiers immediately drew their swords and quietly surrounded Chen Ping.
Chen Ping swallowed his saliva and looked at the soldiers surrounding him. They were all in full armor. Then he looked at the golden-armored general in front of him. He was taller than himself and looked very powerful. He finally gave up. The idea of running away.
"I'm just a small retainer in the Zhang family, but I don't know what mistake the master made, and he still involves us?" Chen Ping, who knew the current affairs, couldn't help but ask when he was at a loss.
"Zhang Cang is Zhang Cang, and you are you. If Zhang Cang wants to catch him, you have to catch him too!" Zhao Si stretched out his palm in front of Chen Ping in a playful manner.
"I want them all!"
Chen Ping had no choice but to remain silent and follow Zhao Si out in a depressed manner. He couldn't help but wonder what big mistake he had made, to go out in such a scene to arrest him, and to treat himself and Zhang Cang as the same status. .
Although... Chen Ping really hopes that as a rising star, he can catch up with Zhang Cang.
But you can’t catch up like this...
It's good now, Zhang Cang ran away and took care of himself. It can't be said that he caught up, but it can be said that he surpassed him.
Why did you arrest Zhang Cang and accuse me and Chen Ping... The Jinjia General in front of him was someone who made fun of him, so Chen Ping couldn't get any useful information.
I haven't broken any laws... Although in the process of traveling around the world, I inevitably followed the crowd and slandered the state of Qin and talked about the first emperor. But facts aside, I, Chen Ping, am definitely a good Qin who abides by the law. people.
You can't, just because your name is Chen Ping, right?
…
On the other side, Zhang Cang, who was white and fat, escaped from the dog hole in embarrassment and let out a long sigh.
Damn, that’s scary!
When Zhang Cang secretly came out of the tunnel, he watched from a distance in the city. He saw more than a hundred soldiers in full armor. Those were full armor!
It was heading straight to his own house without stopping at all, and his goal was extremely clear.
If we don't respond in time, I'm afraid we will really be caught in a trap.
"Who leaked the news?" Zhang Cang pondered, puzzled.
"It seems that I have to go out again to avoid the limelight. Fortunately, I have Chen Ping to cover for me at home. With his ability, it shouldn't be a big problem to fool the officers and soldiers." Zhang Cang left in a hurry and didn't even have time to pack his luggage. .
But fortunately, the Zhang family has a great business and Zhang Cang himself is famous, so he won't lose the family business and not even be able to eat.
The most urgent task now is to avoid it for now.
Zhang Cang held on to the dense tree not far from the dog hole and took a breath.
He knew that he couldn't stay too long, as it wasn't very safe here yet.
"It's better to walk a little further..." Zhang Cang took a few deep breaths, and suddenly saw an ox cart slowly walking out, and he was very happy.
"Come on, please stop the car and take me with you. I'll pay for the rental fee for you!"
Zhang Cang waved eagerly, and the bullock cart stopped in response.
"Where are you going?"
Before the ox cart, the fellow asked.
Wait, why is this fellow's voice so familiar?
Zhang Cang suddenly realized something and jumped out of the bullock cart. He saw that the other party's body had twisted around, and a very familiar face was in front of him.
Li Si looked at Zhang Cang who was about to leave in fear with a smile on his face.
"Cang? Are you planning to leave without saying goodbye this time?"
Zhang Cang covered his face, not knowing how to respond.
