    In the north of Linzi City, there is a small courtyard. Most of the small courtyards in this era were restaurants and merchants. However, since the war in Linzi City, it has been under martial law. People here are not allowed to enter or leave.  The streets are guarded.  At this time, in a small courtyard, an inconspicuous middle-aged farm man was squatting outside the door, his ears close to the door, listening nervously to something.  In the room, there were two people having a secret conversation. One of them was an extremely powerful middle-aged man, and the other was also quite majestic, but there was a hint of aristocratic accomplishment in his words.  I heard the middle-aged man say to the noble: "Brother Tian, ??a message has been sent from General Zhou outside the city, asking you to go there and discuss the matter as soon as possible." After hearing this, Brother Tian thought deeply: "I know what they mean,  But I can't take risks for the time being. If I go to his place, it will be bad if I get controlled by him. Chen Sheng is very ambitious." After hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head and suddenly said: "Brother Tian, ??don't worry, Chen Sheng.  He is powerful, but his men are not monolithic. At least, as far as I know, Zhou Shi and Ge Ying are not of the same mind, and the military officials like Zhou Shi and Zhao Di have other ideas. " "What do you mean?" "Brother Tian?  Startled.  The middle-aged man lowered his voice again and said: "I heard that Zhou Shi and Wei Bao were very close. After the military officials pacified Zhao, they should have returned to Chen County to meet Chen Sheng, but they were delayed." "They have different intentions!" Tian  Heng exclaimed, and finally said: "But, what does this have to do with me?" The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Brother Tian, ??think about it, since Zhou Shi and Wei Bao have other plans, then he must  Facing Chen Sheng's anger, or looking for an ally, Brother Tian, ??you are a noble of Qi. He will definitely need you to call on Qi to become allies in the future. If he occupies Qi at this time, Ge Ying will be there.  "You are right." Tian Heng nodded: "Okay, let's go now." After that, the middle-aged man stood up and walked to the bed.  Play around with it a bit.  After lifting the bed board, a big black hole was exposed underneath.  Tian Heng did not delay, stood up and walked towards the cave, and then said to the middle-aged man: "Wu Yong, please contact other brothers in the city and let them prepare in advance. Maybe the action will be tonight." Wu Yong nodded:  "Okay, I'll wait for the good news from Brother Tian." Soon, Tian Heng got into the tunnel, and then Wu Yong carefully closed the bed, cleaned up the traces, and finally made sure that there was no leakage, then stood up and walked out the door.  At this time.  The peasant man who was eavesdropping outside cleverly turned around, turned a corner, and ran away quickly.  At the same time, I was still shocked in my heart, dear, these two dealers seemed to be big shots, and they actually dug a tunnel in my house.  It seems that it is not easy to have a sharp weapon.  No, I have to go back and talk to my mouth.  Soon, he ran out of the small courtyard and arrived at a larger courtyard ten feet away. This was his home. He was just an honest farmer, but when the Qin State destroyed the Qi State, his old father was in Linzi.  After acquiring many houses for sale at low prices, he later made a living from the store.  In the yard, a middle-aged woman was spreading grain to feed the chickens. As soon as the middle-aged farmer man came in, he shouted: "Old woman, old woman, it's terrible, something big has happened." "You damn ghost, what are you doing in such a panic? Now,  The whole city is under martial law. Mr. Hou just won a battle. What big thing could happen?" The middle-aged woman continued to feed the chickens without raising her head.  The farmer man said anxiously: "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with Mr. Marquis." After that, he didn't wait for the old woman to ask her in detail, grabbed his hand and went into the house. Then he looked out for a while when he got into the house, and finally  Close the door carefully.  When the woman saw this, she said with a sullen look on her face: "What are you doing so mysteriously? My two old hens are about to lay eggs. If the eggs they lay are too small, I will settle the score with you." "What a woman."  , something big has happened, and you still care about the eggs laid by those two hens," the middle-aged man scolded.  "Please tell me what the big deal is. If you dare to trick me, I'll have something for you to eat on the kang tonight." The woman said with a stern face.  The middle-aged man was excited when he heard this, as if he thought of something terrible, his eyes showed fear unconsciously, and he quickly said: "I found a cave in the yard to the east of us, and there was a big shot." "Where?  Home? What kind of big shot?" "Hey, he just gave us a year's rent and said he didn't want us to disturb him. I haven't seen him go out much in the past six months, so I wanted to take a look today.  What do you think I overheard?" The woman was aroused and said anxiously, "Speak quickly, don't wait any longer." The middle-aged man said mysteriously, "I heard them talking about going outside the city. What are they looking for?"  General Zhou?80% of them are the group that attacked us, and there are others named Tian who claim to be nobles of the Qi State. Think about it, the nobles of the Qi State also have the surname Tian, ??aren't they the royal family back then?  From what he said, there were still many of their people in the city, and they were probably conspiring with Zhou Shi to do something big.  "    "What?  The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said cleverly: "I'm afraid our Linzi City is in danger."  The middle-aged farm man sighed and said, "Who says it's not the case? I'm worried about what we should do now."  " After the woman regained her composure, she glared at him and said, "What should I do? Go and notify the Marquis immediately.  " The peasant man was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "But after all, we were all from Qi State. If Qi State recovers, then we will follow suit.  " "Bah.  The woman said disdainfully: "The Qi Kingdom is all a thing of the past. Now the world is under the Qin Dynasty. Can those who are rebelling now defeat Qin?"  There were many strong men in the Six Kingdoms back then who were not wiped out by the Qin State. How could these people succeed? If they were defeated, you and I would not be able to escape the disaster of annihilation.  " "But what if it happens? Wouldn't we have accomplished something by then?"  "The peasant man was still speculative. After hearing this, the woman said angrily: "I think you old guy is really confused. They are acting in secret. If you want him to know that you have discovered their secret, I'm afraid he will immediately  They will kill you. If you don't tell them, how will they be grateful to you afterwards?  Moreover, there is Zhang Chu's army outside the city. They don't talk about us as Qi people. When the city is broken, if we are unlucky and are harmed by the soldiers entering the city, you deserve to suffer.  " "This" the peasant man still hesitated. The woman chattered her teeth in anger, hating the iron that could not turn into steel, but in the end she suppressed her anger and patiently guided her: "Old man, let me ask you, if you touch your mother's heart, this  How have you treated the people of Linzi in recent years?  " "It goes without saying that the taxes and corvee have been reduced by nearly half. Even those who are officials are more polite than before, and they no longer dare to treat the people roughly. If he hadn't set up a private school, the children in my family would still be here.  I don't know the big characters.  "The man said without hesitation. The middle-aged woman nodded after hearing this and asked: "Then I'm asking you, the laws and regulations in Qi were lax, but are they as good as they are now?  " After hearing this, the middle-aged man looked thoughtful, and finally shook his head: "That's not true. Although the laws in Qi are not strict, personal relationships are serious. It is impossible for the common people like us to fall in love with others, and the nobles will kill one or two  There was nothing wrong with the untouchables. Although there was a lot of freedom at that time, it was not as fair as it is now, and it was not as kind as the Marquis was to us.  " "That's fine.  The woman rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry about which country you are from. Our good life is real. You should go to Shenwu Marquis' Mansion now and inform the Marquis. If you are late, it will be too late."  " At this time, the middle-aged farm man had woken up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I will listen to you.  " After saying that, he stood up to leave, but the middle-aged woman said again: "Remember, you must see Mr. Hou before you can tell him. The first is to keep the news confidential, and the second is that you have met Mr. Hou, Mr. Hou.  Naturally, we will remember our feelings. When the rebel army is defeated, the benefits will be indispensable to us.  " "Okay, I know, then I'll go.  "The man opened the door, ran out of the yard, and finally walked to the Marquis's Mansion as if nothing had happened. After a while, he looked relaxed on the outside, but anxious in his heart. However, there was something outside the door of the Marquis Shenwu's Mansion.  Guarded by iron guards, "Who are you, stop!"  "As soon as the iron guard saw someone approaching, he immediately became vigilant and did not take it lightly because the man was dressed as a farmer. The farmer man bowed his head and smiled and said: "I am Butcher Zhang from the east of the city. I have a restaurant and butcher shop at home.  Business, could you please inform Mr. Hou? I want to meet him.  " "Meet the Marquis?  The Marquis has a lot of things to do every day, how can you just see him whenever you want?  "Tie Wei said coldly, there are usually people like this every day. They are usually sent to the post house or the county governor's house, and only after the officials have reviewed them will they report it to Marquis Shenwu. Otherwise, Marquis Shenwu will just see people all day long.  He was going to die from exhaustion. The peasant man was stunned for a moment, and then he said anxiously: "Please forgive me, sir. I really have a big matter, and I want to report it in person.  "
