In the face of the crisis, Li Yuan's vigorous and resolute measures made the officials who followed him to Yongqi feel happy and inspired. Although it was only a harvest season, they seemed to see the hope of reviving the Qin Dynasty.

Among these people, Chen Di is undoubtedly the one who is most concerned.

"Reporting to Duke Chen, there is a military lord named Han outside the door asking to see him." Just as Chen Di was thinking wildly, a servant came in hurriedly to report.

"Please come in." Chen Di nodded.

He was relatively familiar with the generals in Li Yuan's army. Among the well-known ones, none had the surname Han. As Li Yuan's strength grew, low-level positions such as military marquis were increasingly taken over by newly promoted officers.

These people were completely unfamiliar to Chen Di, who was used to living in seclusion.

The noble blood of the royal family gave the inheritors a lofty status, allowing them to reach high positions and be worshiped by others without much effort. However, at the same time, it also kept them away from ordinary people, and gradually became out of touch with the world and inactive in production.

, a group of idle people with eyes above their heads.

The hereditary royal family began to decline in troubled times, just like Xiong Xin, King Huai of Chu. What awaited him was death, and the same fate awaited Chen Di and the last nobles of the Qin Kingdom.

Standing under the low gatehouse of Zongzheng Mansion, Han Si, who had become a military prince for the first time, was a little hesitant. For a craftsman doing carpentry work, there were very few opportunities to deal with high-ranking officials.

When he first arrived at Zongzheng and Chen Di's house, Han Si felt a little uneasy.

"Marquis Han Jun, Zong Zheng invites you!"

Hearing the servant's humble and flattering words, Han Si straightened his hat on his head and stepped in with a few soldiers with a solemn expression.

"Marquis Han Jun, what's the matter? Do you want the Lieutenant General of the Labor Army to come?" Chen Di was sitting on his knees behind the desk in his formal robe. He looked up and saw an unknown Army Lieutenant General coming in from outside.

"Reporting to Zong Zheng, we have been ordered by Chang Shi to conduct a thorough investigation into the recent infiltration into Jianzuo. How many portraits are there? Do you know Zong Zheng?" After Han Si said this, he ordered the sergeant to unfold the portraits.

"What does Marquis Han Jun mean? Does it mean that I have an enemy collaborator in my house? This is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy. I will go see Chen Ping and explain it clearly?" Chen Di suddenly changed his color when he heard this and said angrily.

Li Yuan's order has been clearly communicated to every level of officials. Even if a high-ranking official like Chen Di does not hold any specific position, he also knows what it means to have an intermediary job in the government?

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Zong Zheng. We are here just under the orders of Chang Shi. After many days of investigation, traces of these suspicious characters were found in the courtyard of Fuzhong. Now, the army officers and soldiers have surrounded the courtyard.

Han came here just to ask, does Zong Zhenggong know about this?" Han Si took a deep breath, took a step forward and loudly reported.

"You, you have already surrounded the other courtyard, so why come here to ask for instructions? Are you trying to humiliate me?" Chen Di was so angry that he almost lost his mind, so much so that he instinctively resented Han Si's words.

In fact, as soon as he met Han Si, Chen Di's mentality began to become subtle. A little military prince who didn't know a stranger dared to come to the dignified Zongzheng Mansion to ask for someone. He really didn't know whether to live or die. Didn't he?

Do you know that the world of Qin was established by the royal family?

The fall of Qin and its past glory made Chen Di unable to extricate himself, so much so that he gradually forgot that the royal family with the surname Ying no longer ruled this place.

"Since Zong Zhenggong said so, Han will resign first and report back another day when he has the exact information." Han Si waited until Chen Di had finished venting his anger and then responded lightly. After that, he did not wait for Chen Di to say anything.

, he took the sergeant and rolled up the picture album and turned around and left.

"Here, Chen Ping, don't bully me too much. Come and prepare a car. I will go to the eldest princess's house and accuse Chen Ping of disrespecting the royal family." Chen Di cursed angrily, with an old face on his face.

Red and white for a while.

Not long ago, he was also interested in competing with Chen Ping for the position of chief historian. However, as soon as he said something in front of the eldest princess, he was blocked by Zhao Yushu. As for Chen Di's ability, Zhao Yushu clearly saw that he had high vision and low hand.

The words "Kandacai" are used to describe Chen Di. Just imagine, if Chen Di was really talented, how could he remain silent in the Qin court?

"My father-in-law, why does that portrait of Han Junhou look familiar to me?" When Chen Di was scolding, the steward Chen Da who had been standing by the side said hesitantly.

"What, which one are you talking about? Tell me quickly." Chen Di was startled. He hadn't looked carefully just now. Now when he heard what Chen Da said, he felt a little panicked.

"It's the first one, a bit like the steward of Ma Ye's family?" Chen Da didn't hesitate and quickly pointed out the suspicious object.

Visitor Ma Cao, when he mentioned this name, Chen Di's heart sank. Not long ago, he did take in a few old friends and servants who fled from Xianyang. At that time, these former friends and servants came to surrender, talking about Xianyang

Regarding the situation, he lamented that the emperor Ziying, Ma Cao, Feng Jing and other clan members were all killed by the overlord Xiang Yu. All his old friends suffered misfortune, and Chen Di was also filled with emotion.

"Whose name is that?" Chen Di asked anxiously.

"Ma Feng was once the steward of Ma Yezhe's family. When I was young, I remember that there were more than a dozen of them here, and now they are all placed as slaves in other courtyards." Chen Da quickly replied.

Nukes are slaves with a lower status than ordinary tenants who have lost their fields. They only have output, no income, no freedom, and no records of their identity. They are only equivalent to a share of the owner's property and can be transferred to them at any time.

Others can also be destroyed and lost at any time. The remnants of the slavery system have not been eliminated in this era. There are many hidden people like Nu Ke not only in Chen Di's mansion, but also in other royal families.

Chen Di agreed at that time, but he was also greedy in his heart, thinking that if there were more than a dozen or twenty strong men, he could produce more grain and more income. Yongqi was originally the land of the Western Frontier, and its products

With a lack of wealth and Li Yuan's tight control, Chen Di could no longer think about the luxurious life he had lived in the past.

"Nuke, Chen Da, go and gather the diners quickly. We'll do it tonight. Remember, don't leave any traces." Chen Di's heart pounded.

Under his men, there were also a group of guests from the original prison siege. These people escaped one after another before the fall of Xianyang, and then began to gather around Chen Di in twos and threes.

The children of the Mohist family sound very majestic, wandering around the world, and caring, but that is not the case at all. These disciples also want to eat and live a good life, but they are not engaged in production and have no other survival skills. The only skill they have is,

It means becoming a thug for a wealthy family.

In this troubled world where big families are disappearing in an instant, it is no longer easy to find a good host. Chen Di is a kind man and an old acquaintance. Although Yongqi is a bit remote, it is still occupied by the Qin army, and many guests flock to it.

This also surprised Chen Di and made him feel more burdened.
