"Yuan Chang, it's not difficult to ask Rui to assist in the arrest. It's just that the Prime Minister has ordered Rui to rest in his house. The arrest" Lu Rui agreed to Zhong Yao at first. , but if you think about it carefully, it's still inappropriate. Cao Cao has a hidden line of talent. If Cao Cao has a bigger plan, it might not be appropriate for him to get involved. "Bufan, if I didn't have the Prime Minister's permission, how would I come to the Marquis' Mansion? If you want your son-in-law to do something, you should ask your father-in-law!" Zhong Yao smiled, took a sip of tea, and gave Lu Rui a joking look. . "Oh?" "Bufan, this is the Prime Minister's handwriting. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to confirm it." Zhong Yao took out Cao Cao's handwriting and handed it to Lu Rui. As expected, it was Cao Cao¡¯s handwriting. Lu Rui accepted the order. This was a handwriting issued by the Prime Minister¡¯s Palace. The order was for Lu Rui to assist Zhong Yao in hunting down the masters hiding in Xudu. At the same time, Cao Cao also hinted that Lu Rui could let Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and other descendants of the Cao family participate. Finally, Cao Cao also told Lu Rui in his handwriting that the information about Xi Zhicai would also be sent to Lu Rui's house, so that the younger generations of the Cao family could be trained. The master behind Liu Xie must be in Xudu City, but we don't know where he is hiding now. It seems that Cao Cao wants to test himself. Lu Rui saw the handwriting and contacted Cao Cao's attitude. Lu Rui guessed that Cao Cao had basically locked the master behind Liu Xie, but Cao Cao asked Lu Rui to personally capture the master behind Liu Xie. Establish meritorious service for the descendants of the Cao family. This is the first step for Cao Cao to install his cronies. Only those who have established meritorious deeds will have official positions. In order to cultivate the Cao family's disciples. Cao Cao really took great pains. "It turns out that Yuan Chang has a handwriting from the Prime Minister. In this case, Rui will definitely assist Yuan Chang. However, it is not convenient for Rui to use the people in Xudu's Yamen. Yuan Chang can provide information to Rui for the investigation, and Rui will find someone to investigate secretly. , I wonder what Yuan Chang thinks? "If you want to make contributions to the Cao family, you can't do it too obviously. Lu Rui will do it superficially. When the time comes to receive merit, just count all the disciples as one. "In that case, I would like to thank you very much, Yuan Chang. Yuan Chang has compiled the investigation information into a document and will send it to the Marquis' Mansion at the next opportunity." Zhong Yao felt relieved when he saw Lu Rui read the form and agreed to assist in the investigation. "Thank you for your kindness!" "You're very polite!" Zhong Yao then handed over all the intelligence statements to Lu Rui, who also called Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi from Cao's house. "Brother Rui!" "Well. Zihuan, Ziwen, Zijian, you can sort out these records and sort out the information about people of the same clan, hometown, same name, and three common people." Lu Rui sent Zhong Yao over He pointed to the information and ordered the three people to do things. "Oh my god, Brother Rui, how can we classify and sort out so many documents? How can we register people from the same hometown and the same clan with the same name?" Cao Zhang was the first to shout. Dealing with these paperwork is Cao Zhang's weakness. He would rather go up the mountain to fight more big problems. tiger. "You are the only one who knows how to be lazy!" Lu Rui hit Cao Zhang with a bamboo slip. How could Cao Zhang grow into an effective general if he didn't like studying? "Brother Rui, how should we classify people with the same characteristics? If person A and person B are from the same hometown, and person A and person C are of the same race, how should person A be classified?" Cao Pi and others only know simple classifications, and complex classifications are not Not sure. Oops! Forgetting that they were all ancients, Lu Rui thought of the classification methods of later generations. These were simple common sense and were very efficient techniques in ancient times. "Zihuan, Ziwen, Zijian, Brother Rui will teach you a new classification method today. First, mark all the tables with numbers to distinguish all the information. Secondly, list the names of the people who appear in the information. Come out, as long as there is matching information, mark the numbers under the names of the people, so that they can be classified." Lu Rui taught the three people a simple classification method and asked them to classify all the information, so that a lot of information would be clear. "Brother Rui is indeed a good idea, Pi knows it." Cao Pi is indeed a smart man. As soon as he heard Lu Rui's introduction, he knew that this was a quick and simple method. "Okay, you three just do it like this. I'll come back to check after an hour." Lu Rui clapped his hands and let Cao Pi and the others handle the information. This was their training, and it was also Lu Rui's laziness. "Yes, Brother Rui!" The three of them raised their hands and began to classify the information. Lu Rui nodded, smiled secretly in his heart, and left the study. These three people are all the future princes of the Wei Dynasty. Now they are actually willing to listen to their own lessons. I feel proud just thinking about it! "Have you ever classified the information?" An hour later, Lu Rui returned to the study, and Cao Pi and the other three had already sorted out the information. "Brother Rui, we've finished it." Cao Pi took the lead in answering Lu Rui. ¡°As expected, he is Cao Cao¡¯s son. He is all very capable. This method is so fast.Just got it. "Okay, now that we've sorted it out, let's analyze it together and screen out the suspects one by one to see if there is anyone worthy of suspicion." Lu Rui acted like a brother and began to talk to Cao Pisan People respect teachings. "Brother Rui, this person is suspicious" "No, please report that the time shown on the report is wrong." Cao Zhi is talented and smart, but not stable enough. "Brother Rui, this person is suspected" "It's just a small role. Zi Wen needs to take a closer look and contact the information about this person before making a judgment." Cao Zhang was not good at writing, and he was in a hurry. He came to a conclusion. "Brother Rui, there is a piece of information here. This person should be a participant" "Yes, this person is a participant, but the person behind it is not this person. This person is If you enter the palace many times, you will definitely be discovered by our spies. "Cao Pi is scheming but inexperienced. "Brother Rui, we've found all the information, why are there still no clues?" Cao Zhang threw the last bamboo slip aside. After analyzing all the information, he still found nothing. He was already feeling a little irritable. "Brother Rui, why don't we reorganize the information, maybe we missed something?" Cao Pi cautiously asked Lu Rui tentatively. "Don't worry, Zihuan. Although there are many suspicious people in this information, they are just gunmen. The mastermind is not among them." Lu Rui has followed Cao Cao for many years. I have learned to observe and analyze in detail. These people are at most scapegoats. To put it mildly, they are just people who are making fun of him. They are not experts at assisting Liu Xie. "Brother Rui, you said neither this nor that. Could it be that the person father wants to arrest is already in prison?" Cao Zhang tossed the bamboo slip. Said an angry word. "Wait, what did you say?" After hearing Cao Zhang's words, Lu Rui suddenly thought of something. Is this the most dangerous place or the safest place? "Brother Rui, let me ask, has the person father wanted to arrest been caughtotherwise how could we not find anything?" "What do you mean? Ziwen?" "Ah , Brother Rui, I was just talking casually" Cao Zhang didn't know what he said, it was just an angry comment. "Brother Rui?" "Zijian, what do you want to say" Seeing Cao Zhi's look. It seemed like he had thought of something. "Brother Rui, I once worked as a clerk in the Prefecture of Xudu. I have handled the official documents of the Prefecture. Generally speaking, anyone who is investigated by the yamen will first check the prisoner's file. If the prisoner already has a criminal record in Xudu, he will be imprisoned. In the Yamen, there will be another way to deal with it. "When Cao Zhi was a student next to Xun Yu, he often helped Xun Yu handle Xu Du's official documents and exercised his political power. Another way to deal with it? Lu Rui had served as a county guard, and of course he knew how counties were governed under Cao Cao's control. If a person had a criminal record and was already in the yamen, and someone reported other crimes against that person, the yamen would first treat him coldly, and then proceed according to the law. Depending on how much the person has committed, he will be retried and convicted. Since the prisoner is already in the Yamen, the Yamen will handle other cases first, and then retry the prisoner when there is free time. During the Three Kingdoms period, the population dropped sharply. In order to increase national strength, all countries revised the heavy laws of the Han Dynasty, in order to give criminals a chance to start a new life and increase the population. "Huh, in my opinion, those who commit crimes will be killed. Now my father's laws are too light." Cao Zhang naturally knew the method of handling Cao Zhi said. Compared with the previous laws, Cao Cao was too lenient. "Ziwen, it's better not to discuss Zhongfu's decision too much." Cao Zhang doesn't understand politics. In troubled times, he uses heavy codes and governs with kindness. Now that Cao Cao controls the most territory and the place he governs is relatively stable, he needs to use kindness to win over people's hearts. "Oh." Cao Zhang glanced at Lu Rui and couldn't even speak. "Brother Rui, do you think the experts behind His Majesty will use this loophole to evade our pursuit?" "Yes, Zijian, what kind of person will be put on hold and treated as an alternative?" " Anyone with a criminal record in the counties under the jurisdiction of Xu Du will be dealt with differently. "Okay, I understand. Let's go to Zhong Yao's county magistrate's office." Lu Rui stood up, tidied up his clothes, and took Cao Pi and the others. Go to Zhong Yao's county magistrate's office. Zhong Yao¡¯s county government office is located on West Street in Xudu City. It is a relatively small government office that specializes in handling various general government affairs in Xudu City. The new county government office is still under construction. Zhong Yao is the county magistrate of Xudu, not the prefect of Xudu. The current prefect of Xudu is still Xun Yu. Xudu is the capital of the country, and there are four places under its rule: Xu County, Yingchuan County, Changshe, and Xutian. Xu County is also the real country?, the main body of Xudu was later Xuchang City. Xun Yu was in charge of the general affairs of Xu Du, and Zhong Yao was the county magistrate in charge of Xu County. "Yao has met the Marquis and the three young masters!" Zhong Yao saw Lu Rui coming with the three sons of the Cao family, and he quickly treated them with courtesy. After all, this was a government office, not a private party. "Well, Yuan Chang, Rui came here to ask for help" Lu Rui then told the analysis of himself and the three of them, asking Zhong Yao to call out various recent criminal cases in Xudu City. "Yao understands and immediately orders someone to send the files." Soon, Zhong Yao moved all the recent cases in Xudu. "With so many criminal cases, Magistrate Zhong, you are too incompetent to govern Xudu, right?" Cao Zhang immediately began to accuse Zhong Yao when he saw another mountain of bamboo slips with more information than before. "Mr. Zhang" "Zi Wen must not be rude. Is this thing so simple as you think?" "Yes, Brother Rui!" Afterwards, Zhong Yao told him the reason for the mountain of cases. Lu Rui, after all, Cao Cao's son knew, if he was a snitch. Zhong Yao also has a theory. It turns out that after Cao Cao closed the four gates of Xudu. The beggars and some refugees in Xudu City had no source of livelihood. After closing the four doors. Some beggars and refugees who went out of the city to look for food in the morning and returned to the city to sleep at night suddenly lost their source of livelihood. Relying on charity from the people in the city was simply not enough. They had to resort to stealing and being caught by the government officials so that they could go in and do hard labor and have food to eat. "Master Marquis, Xudu is relatively stable now. Refugees and beggars from all over the country are vying to come to Xudu. For a time, they have no source of livelihood. They can only deliberately cause trouble and come in to do hard work." Zhong Yao told a helpless situation. , now that the country's vitality has just recovered, many people still have no fixed residence and can only rely on big cities to support themselves by working as coolies. Although Xudu is a large city, it does not provide many jobs, so some homeless people who have no other options start to think of ways to go to jail. Doing an overload of work. But I can exchange it for a sip of porridge. "Okay, Yuan Chang. I understand. You can stay here and follow me for details." Lu Rui also knew that the world was not easy, so he didn't ask Zhong Yao too much. "Zihuan, the three of you will sort out these files according to the classification method." "Yes, Brother Rui!" Cao Pi and the other three began to sort out the criminal files that occurred in Xudu. After sorting, Lu Rui and the other five began to analyze , to see if there is anyone suspicious in the prison. "Brother Rui, they are all the same files, and there is nothing suspicious at all!" After searching for a long time, Cao Zhang began to complain again. These files were basically official documents, including the reasons for the prisoners' crimes and their sentences. It is very simple. For the convenience of recording, the words are basically the same. It is short and clear, and there is no difference at all. "Master Hou, Yao has also looked carefully and found nothing suspicious." "Brother Rui?" "Yuan Chang, what kind of food do you feed the prisoners? ? "Since nothing can be seen on the surface, we must use a strategy to see if there is anyone suspicious in the prison. "Master Hou, they are all rough vegetables and gruel." "Yuan Chang, you will increase the physical work for them tomorrow, and then add vegetables at noon. I will order someone to prepare some special dishes." "Yes, Master Hou!" "Brother Rui, what are you?" "Zihuan, one can hide it, but habits left over from the environment where one grew up cannot be changed" Lu Rui patted Cao Pi and left the county office. "Oh oh oh!" A new day started again. In the county government cell, Sima Min was already overwhelmed. He turned into a lazy man and hid in the cell. He didn't expect to be assigned to do hard labor. Prison food It's not delicious. When did I, the son of the Sima family, suffer this kind of crime? "Lazy San, get up, it's time to work!" The prison bully in the cell kicked Sima Min. This lazy man didn't want to work. "Yes, Brother Tiger!" Sima Min pretended to be complimentary, got up and went to work with the brigade. . After a day's work, all the prisoners in the prison were exhausted and gathered in the square of the prison. "To reward you all, my lord, I will give you extra food today!" the cell leader shouted and ordered the jailer to bring the food. "Wow!" When the food was served, the prisoners all exclaimed. The prison rice this time was really good. It actually included chicken, pork, some fish scraps, and some unknown vegetable scraps. "These are the delicacies from the Prime Minister's house. Today, the Prime Minister visited the county government and specially rewarded them to you." The prison head followed Zhong Yao's instructions and told the reason for the extra dishes today. Lu Rui and ZhongYao and others were observing the prisoner's every move in the arrow tower upstairs. "Thank you, Prime Minister!" "Okay, each person can get two portions of these dishes. The rice is enough, and there will be fruit after the meal." "Hurry and get something!" The prisoners were very happy when they heard this, and then started to line up. Receive food. Sima Min was thin and was pushed to the back. "It's your turn, get two dishes!" Seeing Sima Min approaching, the prison boss impatiently asked Sima Min to get the dishes. Sima Min looked at the dishes on the table at this time. Some ordinary dishes had been taken away by the prisoners in front, and now there were extraordinary dishes on the table. The unusual dishes are for a rich family like Sima Min. There are some dishes from Hainan, some seafood and some meat residues of Lingnan game. Sima Min looked at some dishes and chose one with shrimps and one with conch residue. ¡°Wait a minute, this is your fruit!¡± The prison boss threw a rotten pineapple to Sima Min. "Master Jun, this?" Sima Min was stunned for a moment when he saw the pineapple. "What are you doing? You don't like this fruit. Do you know that this is what Master Sikong often eats? It's your honor to give it to you!" The cell leader scolded Sima Min. This beggar really doesn't appreciate praise. "Yes, yes!" Sima Min took his food back to the corner and started eating. Lu Rui noticed Sima Min on top of the arrow tower. This person was doubtful when choosing food. He seemed to know everything on the table. He also hesitated when taking the fruit. He was probably a member of a noble family. ¡°Okay, after dinner, everyone goes back to bed!¡± The cell leader shouted, signaling the prisoners to eat quickly. Sima Min ate the rice and vegetables, and then held the rotten pineapple in his hand. He refused to swallow it for a long time, and then hid it in his arms. "Yuan Chang, who is that man? What did he commit?" "Report to the Marquis, the man's name is Lan San, he is a beggar. He was caught because of robbery." Zhong Yao motioned to a jailer next to him to report back. Lu Rui. "Where is his criminal record? Show it to me!" Lu Rui narrowed his eyes, there was something wrong with this lazy guy.
