Yongcheng's government was crowded with outsiders, and Zhaoyun stood anxiously in the middle, letting Wu Jia and Invincible on the side deal with those who wanted to talk to him.

He never expected that the woman just shouted for the first time, and the whole street ran like a fly! Even the old man he saw on the road just now, like a broken candle, threw away his crutches and ran away, like an Olympic athlete.

Hundreds of people rushed around the city, chasing a poor thief, and Zhaoyun will never forget this spectacular scene in his life.

Qin law has clouds, and if there is a thief within 100 steps and ignores it, he will be punished; It means that if you have a thief within 100 steps and you don't care, you are breaking the law and will be punished.

But this was not a big deal, Zhaoyun caught the thief back and was about to leave, he never thought that a person in charge came to him, and he had to take himself to the government office in Yongcheng to receive the reward, saying that the rewards and punishments were clear, and the righteousness and courage were to be rewarded...... Although it was only a reward of twenty gold, it was enough to make the common people crazy.

As for those witnesses who spontaneously followed behind him, Zhao Yun also learned from the mouth of the person in charge, and couldn't help but smile bitterly - it turns out that these guys can also receive rewards!

He also thought that these guys were enthusiastic, and he was completely wrong.

The steward was dressed in simple bureaucratic ornaments, or because of his low rank, he stood in the crowd and was no different from the common people. He looked at the saber on Zhaoyun's waist and asked respectfully, "Dare to ask where Gongzi is?" ”

Zhaoyun was just about to answer Shudi, but after thinking about it, he still said, "I am a person from Nanzheng." ”

Hearing this, the official's eyes instantly became alert, and he asked in a low voice: "Since Gongzi is from the Chu State, why did he come to my Qin State?" ”

“…… Come and pay a visit to the deceased. Zhaoyun could only tell another lie.

The official shook his head and seemed to be more alert: "Although the two countries of Qin and Chu are not at war, they must have evidence to communicate with each other; Since Gongzi is a native of Chu, if he is harmless to my Great Qin, he needs to show his identity! ”

Zhaoyun was speechless, why did he need any proof?

"In that case, why didn't you see the soldiers at the gate ask when you just entered the door?"

The official said confidently: "From Nanzheng to Qin has its own avenue, who would want to get the son to enter Qin from Baoxie Valley?" The soldiers of Ximen only regard them as sons and are from the Qin State, where can they manage so much? ”

Zhaoyun is also convinced, why has the ID card developed for so long? Traveling to a different country and asking for proof of identity at every turn?

It is said that Shang Ying was also refused accommodation because he had no voucher, which led to the defeat and killing of the army later.

"I didn't ......"

Before the words fell, a voice as crisp as a bell suddenly sounded: "Why are you like this?" He helped you catch the thief, and you didn't thank others, and you made it difficult for him like this! If it were in our house, we would definitely invite guests to the tent to drink goat's milk! ”

The person who spoke was a girl about ten years old, with strange hair in a strange bun, a white cloth wrapped around her forehead, and even her clothes were different from those of the Qin people, she was wearing a sheepskin gown, with colorful patterns, and wearing cloud shoes, which was quite exotic.

She has fair skin and is articulate, even though she has her chest up, she still looks very short, and she can't see her peers at all if she doesn't reach Zhaoyun's chest.

This girl happens to be the one who shouted to catch the thief before.

The official's face was bruised, and he shouted softly: "It's you Xijon girl again!" If it weren't for Ying Gong's order not to be embarrassed, how could this Yongcheng allow you to stand on it? ”

The girl stuck out her tongue at the official and said loudly, "What should you not be embarrassed about? This was originally my hometown, and you Qin people drove out all my people when they came! I live in our land, where do I want you to point me aside? ”

Although the official was angry, it was impossible to be serious with a little girl, and the girl took advantage of the situation to grab Zhaoyun's right hand, and said with a smile: "Big brother, thank you for helping me get things back, my grandma will definitely invite you to eat roast mutton if she knows!" ”

Zhaoyun seemed to want to say something, but the girl had already pulled him outside, and the official looked anxious, thinking that this son hadn't given his identity certificate yet! Just as he was about to pull back, the soldiers who had entered the palace before came out and said loudly: "The general has a word, and all witnesses will be rewarded!" ”

"Thank you, General!"

They knelt down and prostrated their heads, and they went away with joy. The soldier rushed out again and ran to the edge of Zhaoyun, and said, "Childe, the general is invited!" ”

Zhaoyun was at a loss for what to do with the girl, and when he saw the soldier as if he was a benefactor, he hurriedly broke the girl's hand and said, "Girl, someone invited me, next time if you have the opportunity, you can invite me to eat roast whole sheep again!" ”

The girl blinked her eyes, but she was not disappointed, and said softly: "Okay! When you come out, come to my house, my name is Golando, and I live in Xicheng, you must remember! ”

Zhaoyun nodded in agreement, and fled in the wilderness; He was the worst at dealing with these children, and although this Gorandor was not a bear child, her stubbornness really made him unbearable.

Seeing that he had finished handling his personal affairs, the soldier respectfully bowed his hand: "Childe, the general has been waiting for a long time, please come with me!" ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

Seeing that Zhaoyun was leaving, the previous official hurriedly stopped the soldiers in front of him and said, "My lord, this prince is from Chu State, and he hasn't shown his identity certificate yet......"

The soldier glanced at him coldly and said, "The general wants to see him, and it has nothing to do with his identity!" You Xicheng official failed to take care of your own security, wait for the board later! ”

The official was frightened, knowing that as a district official, he was guilty of having problems with his own security; Although the thief was caught, he was inevitably accused of lax management.

After restraining the official, the soldier led Zhaoyun into the palace. Zhaoyun only wanted to reward him in person, and didn't take it to heart, and said to Wu Jia and Invincible behind him: "I'll come out immediately, you guys are here......"

Before he could bring in an orange tree, the soldiers had already pulled him in.

Yongcheng is the capital of the Qin State for the longest time, and the time is before the construction of the capital Liyang; Therefore, the palace of Yongcheng is renovated on the basis of the original Qin Palace, and it is magnificent, and it is really not the one that ordinary people live in.

At first, Zhaoyun thought that the soldiers would lead him into the side hall to receive the reward, but he didn't know that the soldiers went all the way to the north and walked straight towards the main hall.

"Brother Bing, where are we going?"

The soldier replied: "If the general wants to see you, he will naturally go to see the general." ”

"General?" Zhaoyun didn't have the slightest impression of the general in Yongcheng, "Which general is it?" ”

“…… Win the pious general. ”

When the words fell, the two had already arrived outside the main hall, and the soldier asked Zhaoyun to wait for a while, and then went to report. After a while, the soldier walked out as he was, and arched his hand and said, "Childe, the general is invited, please unload your sword and go, don't lose your courtesy!" ”

……

The old man sitting in the hall was the crown prince and young master of King Qin Huiwen, and the prince Qian who was tortured by Shang Ying. It was precisely because of this humiliation that he endured it for many years, and finally killed his enemy Shang Ying after King Qin Huiwen ascended the throne.

Torture is the cutting off of the nose, and it is a corporal punishment below the death penalty, and I shudder just thinking about it. Ying Qian wore a mask, also to hide his noseless.

But personal enmity is personal enmity, and Ying Qian, as a nobleman of the Qin State and the uncle of Yingsi, cannot only see personal enmity with a narrow vision. He asked Ying Si to still maintain the law of Shang Ying, because he could see that the Qin State was driven by this law to rise in Hanguan!

He hated Shang Ying, because he knew that he was a victim of the new law, and it was Shang Ying who wanted to show the truth that "the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people" and made the Qin people completely obey the law.

Although he supported the Qin Law, after so many years, he still didn't understand why the injured people ...... But it's yourself?

Zhao Yunzheng knelt under His Highness, quietly observing the old man in front of him; Perhaps it is because there are too few records of Gongziqian in history, and Zhaoyun does not dare to judge the old man at will, he has to rely on his own eyes to figure him out carefully......

"Have you seen enough?" Ying Qian suddenly spoke.

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said softly: "Ying Gong's mask is very chic, and I can't help but look at it twice." ”

Ying Qian touched the mask covering his nose, after many years, he never dared to show his true face, and almost everyone who knew him did not dare to lift the mask on his face, so as not to reveal his scars, and the young man in front of him was fearless!

He doesn't know?

"Did you know...... Why am I wearing this mask? Ying Qian asked tentatively.

Zhao Yun said loudly: "I know it, but I don't think it's a thing that makes Ying Gong ashamed!" ”

Ying Qian was stunned, his facial features were ruined, his parents were unfilial, he ruined the country, and Yu Jun was disloyal. Although his brother and his nephew were appeased, he could hear the pity in their mouths; Because they all understand that they are the sacrifice of Shang Ying's prestige!

This mask is his fig leaf, and if it is torn off, he will die of shame.

"That's it...... Why? ”

Ying Qian's pale pupils gradually narrowed, and he didn't know whether he wanted to see through the young man's heart, or if his eyes really couldn't see clearly.

Zhaoyun laughed twice and said leisurely: "I don't think I have to say it, Ying Gong himself already has the answer." ”

"Got it?" Ying Qian looked at him puzzled and shook his head, "I have been tortured for many years, but I have also been confused for many years; Kill Shang Ying, I have revenge, but this shame can't be let go after all, where does the answer in your mouth come from? ”

Seeing this, Zhaoyun took a deep breath and said loudly: "Answer...... It is the Qin law that is opposite to the Ying Gong day and night! ”

"Ying Gong hates Shang Ying, why doesn't he hate Qin Fa, but he regards it as a treasure? Before the case is arranged every day, everything is measured by the Qin Law, lest a wrong word be made and a wrongful case for no reason will be brewed. Dare to ask Ying Gong, why don't you hate Qin Fa? ”

Ying Qian was silent for a long time, and the pen in his hand had already dripped a lot of ink, and finally said slowly: "I hate Shang Ying...... Don't hate Qin Fa. I just can't figure it out, there are thousands of people in the Qin State, who is not good to stand up for, why do they make enemies of me? ”

"At the beginning of the construction of the law, we should follow the example of Shang Jun and Mu Lixin; Shang Jun was not targeting Ying Gong, what the government and the opposition of Qin looked like at that time, Ying Gong knew in his heart. If we do not punish evil, how can we promote good? If you don't commit adultery, how can you do the right thing? Ying Gong is the young master of the crown prince, if even the prince has to be punished for breaking the law, then how can the Qin people not enforce the law impartially? ”

"You mean to say that my nose is cut well?" Ying Qian's words seemed to contain anger, but the seventy-year-old man failed to break out after all.

“…… Ying Gong, don't you really understand? ——Your nose is exchanged for the strength of Great Qin after a few years, and the capital of the Central Plains with all the heroes in the world! If it weren't for the pleasure of cutting your nose, how could Daqin be so magnificent today? ”

"A nose for a lifetime of prosperity, how can Ying Gong feel ashamed in his heart?"
