How will Zhao Ran react when Li Hu is suddenly taken?

In fact, Xun Zhen had already discussed this issue with Cheng Jia.

First of all, Zhao Ran will definitely save Li Hu.

Second, how to save it?

This has to be put in the past. If Xun Zhen first arrived in Wei County, Zhao Ran might have instructed his minions in the county to write to Xun Zhen and put pressure on Xun Zhen. Because of Liang Qiling's expulsion, his minions in the counties did not dare to work with Xun Zhenming now. In other words, it was impossible to rely on the "pro-Zhao forces" in the county to rescue Li Hu.

Then, Zhao Ran had only two options left.

One was Feishu's capital, and asked Zhao Zhong to help.

One is Feishu Prefecture, asking the prefecture to help.

Taking Xun Zhen to save him, Zhao Ran should choose the latter first, and then choose the former if the latter fails.

This is because:

Zhao Ran was Zhao Zhong's person who stayed in Ye County to guard the house. If he asked Zhao Zhong for help because of "a trivial matter", it would appear that he was very incompetent. - Who is Zhao Zhong? The Son of Heaven was called Amu, and he was a court official. He usually dealt with the court officials and the county magistrates. Li Hu's rank in Wei County was not low, but in the final analysis, he was only a county prince with six hundred stones. That's all, the position of county chief is very tasteless, it is said to be the deputy of a county, but if you encounter a strong prefect, it will be useless and have no real power at all, not even the magistrate of a large county, in Zhao Zhong's eyes. Li Hu is really a "little thing", this is one of them.

Second, although the capital is not far from Ye County, it is not too close. There are thousands of miles of land and two thousand miles back and forth. No matter how fast the road is, it will take more than ten days. If there is a little delay, a month will pass, and the time will be delayed. The longer it is, the bigger the variable will be. If during this period, Xun Zhen got Li Hu's "confession", and then clicked Li Hu and made the case an iron case, then Zhao Ran would be able to get Zhao Zhong. It was too late to take action. Li Hu was the governor of the county, so Xun Zhen could not kill him without authorization, but since this dynasty, how many officials have died in prison? Gui Ru San Gong all died in prison because of torture, what about a small county chief? If he dies, he will die, and no one will blame him.

Taking the above two points into consideration, Xun Zhen concluded that Zhao Ran would definitely choose Feishu Prefecture first and ask the prefecture to help rescue Li Hu.

Who is the current governor of the state? Wang Fen, one of the "eight chefs" of the party. Not to mention that Wang Fen and Li Hu have no friendship. Even if Wang Fen has friendship with Li Hu, he will definitely not help Zhao Ran asking him for help. In this way, Zhao Ran would at most find a few of the Zhao family's minions in the prefecture, like the prefectures, to put pressure on Xunzhen.

The state engaged in this official position, the rank is not very high, that is, only a hundred stones, but the actual power in the state is not small.

One, the state governor supervises the state department, but there are many counties, counties and roads in a state, and the state governor cannot manage it alone. Whether Haoqiang and others are doing anything illegal is done by the state. A state company may be responsible for supervising one county or two counties. They are responsible for all supervision matters in the county they are responsible for supervising, and they will report it after they find out. Giving the state prefect is equivalent to an incarnation of the state prefect, so although the rank is only a hundred stones, its power is enough to preside over the prefecture and the state; secondly, the state is usually performed by celebrities in the state, such as Xun Shuang, Kong Rong Wang Yun, the prefect of Yuzhou, was designated as the Biejia and Zhizhong in Yuzhou respectively. Both of them are famous people at home and have a high reputation. If they say a word, the minister of the county and the county magistrate will not obey, then it may be It will damage the reputation of these county governors and county magistrates in Shilin.

With actual power and "Shilin's public opinion", the state's power and status in the state can be imagined.

For example, if it was Xun Shuang or Kong Rong who "requested" a prefect of Yuzhou for something, then the prefect of the prefecture would never refuse their request.

However, although the prefecture had great power and high status in the prefecture, if Zhao Ran asked a prefecture to put pressure on Xun Zhen, Xun Zhen would not worry about it at all. As long as he can handle Li Hu's case as an "iron case" and leave no reason for others, no matter how powerful the state is, what can he do to him? Li Hu is the minion of the Zhao family, the Zhao family is the family of eunuchs, whether Xun Zhen arrests or gets rid of it, cleaning up Li Hu is like cleaning up the Zhao family. He ignores the requests from the state. After going out, not only will it not damage his reputation, but it will increase his reputation in Shilin.

Xun Zhen has already decided that until Li Hu is "arrested and brought to justice", he will immediately explain to Wang Cong and the chief registrar Shang Zheng. From today onwards, if anyone in the prefecture comes to see him, but there is no letter from Wang Fen, the prefect of the prefecture. , he was never seen.

The people in the state are easy to pass up, but then again, if the people Zhao Ran invited from the state return without success, then it is conceivable that Zhao Ran will definitely have to choose the first method, that is, Feishu Jingshi, Zhao Zhong asked for help.

Xun Zhen thought it over carefully: Zhao Ran sent someone to look for someone in the prefecture, and the person he found would come to Ye County from the prefecture, which would take time. It can be delayed for a few days until Zhao Ran has nothing to do and has to ask Zhao Zhong for help, and then wait for the people sent by Zhao Zhong to come to Ye County. If you add all these times together, it will take two months at least. There are these two. Months in hand was enough to pry Li Hu's mouth open and make the case an "iron case".

As mentioned earlier, as long as this case can be made into an "iron case", what if Zhao Zhong intervenes?

The case is an "iron case" with "conclusive evidence". Even if Zhao Zhong and Zhao Ran are angry and resentful, they can't do anything about it. At most, they would hate Xun Zhen a little bit more, but if they didn't have Xun Zhen's handle in their hands, if they didn't have the right opportunity, they wouldn't be able to pull Xun Zhen down from the horse -- you know, even if Zhao Zhong wanted to "frame a false accusation because of his hatred" "Xun Zhen, at least he has to be "groundless", he has to have some plausible basis, and can't be fabricated out of thin air. That is to say, he has to meet a suitable opportunity. After all, Xun Zhen now has "friends" in the court. It doesn't mean that a framed accusation can be framed, and a baseless accusation is definitely not acceptable.

If it had been before October, Xun Zhen might have thought twice about changing from "shou" to a regular one, but now that the trial match has gone to the capital, all the achievements and political achievements of Xun Zhen since taking office, the court will soon know. Now, his "prefect of Wei County" is almost certain that he will be able to become a "true prefect" by February next year, so why should he worry about Zhao Zhong now?

Moreover, to go further, Xun Zhen and the Zhao family are already rivals anyway, and Xun Zhen has already made the decision to "kill Zhao", so don't give Zhao Zhong and Zhao Ran face, no matter how much they resent him, they will all never mind.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "Because of being arrested by Li Hu, Zhao Ran won't have the time to trouble me again for at least a few months and a half year. Hand, Junchang can bribe Wei Guang or others anyway."

As long as Wei Guang or other people who know the details of the Zhao family can be bought, then Xun Zhen will take the initiative.

On the one hand, Xun Zhen knew all about the secret and illegal affairs of the Zhao family, and on the other hand, the Zhao family was ignorant. In addition, after this "little exercise" of "catching Li Hu", it was already confirmed that Luan Gu and others were available. Then Xun Zhen can kill Zhao whenever he wants, and he can start it whenever he wants.

Xun Zhen's consideration can be said to be a surefire strategy. Political struggles and military tactics are also insidious. In the final analysis, there are two words: initiative. Whoever seizes the initiative will be the winner.

However, something unexpected happened to him.

Luan Gu, who went to arrest Li Hu, sent people to report: Li Hu gathered more than a dozen officials and servants, resisted stubbornly, and resisted arrest with weapons.

...

Li Hu hadn't entered the gate of the county for several days. Xun Zhen put him aside, ignored him, and didn't give him any real power. He had nothing to do every day, either going to Zhao Ran's house for a day, or drinking all night. He drank all night long last night.

Early in the morning, before he slept, two doormen rushed into his bedroom, woke him up angrily, and said, "The county thief Cao Luan has brought twenty or thirty officers and soldiers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ holding them. The government's order has come to arrest you and put him in prison!"

In one sentence, Li Hu's drowsiness was driven away. He was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's the crime of arresting me?"

The doorman replied: "Li Xiang, Shoufan Yangcheng, was assassinated. Luan Gu said that the assassin was sent by Jun."

Li Hu immediately understood what was going on. He got up from the bed, he didn't care about getting dressed, he only wore obscenity clothes, grabbed the wall, grabbed the saber hanging on the wall, and urged a series of orders: "Li Xiang must have been killed by Yuzhou'er. He wants to frame me for this, so go to Young Master! Ask Young Master for help!"

Although Zhao Ran did not hold a post in the county, he had many disciples and dead men. As long as he could bring people here in time, the twenty or thirty people Luan Gu brought would never be able to capture Li Hu. Luan Gu couldn't catch Li Hu, as long as Li Hu could hide in Zhao's house, Xun Zhen would also be helpless. According to Li Hu's expectation, Xun Zhen would never have the courage to lead officials and soldiers to attack the Zhao family.

Let's not say whether Li Hu's estimate is correct or not, but if he really informs Zhao Ran, and if Zhao Ran really brings someone to rob him, then things will really be a little troublesome.

The doorman said, "Luan Gu blocked the gate and can't get out!"

"Come over the wall and get out!"

The two doormen agreed, one followed Li Hu and ran out of the house, and organized a stubborn resistance to prevent Luan Gu from entering. The official soldiers, four or five official soldiers stood with bows and crossbows, the doorman did not dare to take the risk and force his way out, slipped off the wall, and ran to the side yard. Looking up the wall, I saw that there were also several officials guarding the wall.

The doorman couldn't, so he had to go to the front yard again to find Li Hu.
