Chapter Twenty-Seven: Success is also the Law, and Defeat is also the Law

Regarding Meng Tian's final fate, Liu Kan can still remember some of it.

Sometimes I think about it, such a meritorious general, who is also the first general since Queen Zhao Wuling to resist foreign races and expand his territory, ended up committing suicide, which is quite embarrassing. However, it can only be a sigh, and there is nothing else to think.

Be a man who knows where you are!

Liu Kan is now very clear about his identity. is just a remnant of the Six Kingdoms (Liu Kan can't be sure whether he is really an old Qin person, in fact, including Liu Kan's mother, and he can't figure out whether Liu Kan's ancestor is from Sanchuan County, or whether he escaped from Sanqin), and he doesn't even have his own family business, so why should he meddle in the affairs of the upper echelons? Even if he wanted to save Meng Tian, Liu Kan didn't have that ability.

Now, Liu Kan can only wait and slowly accumulate strength.

Waiting for the First Emperor to die and the troubled times begin, he may be able to profit from it. As for other things, Liu Kan didn't think about it.

Zhaoyang Daze fought a bitter battle, annihilating more than 1,000 bandits and capturing more than 2,000 people.

However, the township warriors who were temporarily recruited from Pei County also suffered heavy casualties. When they came out, there were nearly six hundred. After the end of the war, more than 200 people were killed and nearly 300 were wounded.

There are only more than 100 people intact, most of whom are Yongya and other remnants of the Chu State.

As a result, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Pei County quietly produced some cracks. When Liu Kan was helped into the ox cart, he was keenly aware that a pair of eyes swept over him. I turned my head to look at it, but nothing was there.

That's a group of Chu people!

But Liu Kan couldn't understand why these guys seemed to be quite hostile to him?

Forget it, let them go. For the people living in this era, their thoughts, and the way they think about things, Liu Kan still can't fully understand. But now that the war is over, presumably the next step will be a song and dance? Maybe!

When Liu Kan and the others returned to Pei County, the peaceful small county town suddenly became a sensation!

Especially after learning the news that Wang Ling was killed and the ten powerful bandits around Pei County were completely wiped out, many people's faces became very unnatural.

After Ren Huan settled the wounded, the fire began to operate.

On the night of Xiang Yong's return to Pei County, he sent elite Qin troops to capture several powerful families in Pei County one after another. It is said that there is a connection between these powerful men and the bandits. In this operation, it was these people who reported the news and informed Wang Ling.

Now, Wang Ling is dead, and it is time to settle accounts after the autumn!

The next morning, more than 100 bloody human heads hung on the gate tower of Pei County.

Ren Huan's vigorous and resolute iron-blooded wrist makes many guys with ghosts in their hearts uneasy. However, the panic quickly subsided. On the third day, Ren Huan ordered someone to tell the people of Pei County: The past is not to blame. Whether it is to report the circulation of the royal tomb, or if someone in the family has been a robber, and the government will never investigate it.

The time limit is 30 days, and if it is traced out again after the time limit, according to the Qin law, the heavier ones will be cut off and abandon the city, and the lighter ones will be punished with their noses cut off their faces, and even punished and lost according to the law.

The punishment of the Qin people was harsh, and there were many tricks.

黥 (qing) noodles are tattooed on the prisoner's face, as well as Chengdan (five years of punishment), Wancheng Dan (four years of punishment), Ghost Salary (cutting wood for the temple), and Bai Ji (rinsing white rice) for three years; In addition, the Si Kou (male guard, female Si Kou) is sentenced to two years.

According to Qin law, any detention of three months to one year is called punishment, and female prisoners are also called re-work.

Those who have been escorted for more than a year to serve their sentences are called losers (Yingbu at the end of the Qin Dynasty was first punished and then lost to Lishan).

In short, the announcement of the decree made countless people tremble.

In addition, the most powerful Jing barbarian thieves have been exterminated, and there are only a few small bandits left in the bandits around Pei County. In the face of the powerful force of the Qin army, various bandits began to tentatively return to Peixian to report. And Ren Huan is also as he said, after the report, he is not to blame for the past.

After the first bandit who came to report came home, the Pei County Office suddenly became lively......

However, this excitement has nothing to do with Liu Kan. At this time, he was lying in the home where he was recuperating from his injuries, and he was still holding a scroll of Qin Law in his hand.

This Qin Lu was a gift from Zhao Tuo to Liu Kan.

On the way back to Pei County, Liu Kan asked Zhao Tuo about some things about Qin Lu. As for Zhao Tuo, he really couldn't stand Liu Kan's curious baby's inquiry, and after learning that Liu Kan knew Qin Wen, he simply sent someone to send a volume of Qin Law to let Liu Kan understand it himself.

In fact, there are benefits to doing this!

Whether it is Ren Huan or Meng Tian, it seems that they all have the heart to promote Liu Kan. And Liu Kan knew Qin Wen again, which also made Zhao Tuo even more convinced that this guy was definitely a descendant of the Tang Kingdom of the Liu family. As long as he is old enough, Liu Kan will definitely be able to soar, and it is also beneficial to know more about Qin Law. Of course, giving away the law is not a trivial matter. Zhao Tuo also reported to Ren Huan in private.

However, Qin Fa is really fucking strict!

After Liu Kan finished reading the "Langyuan Law" given to him by Zhao Tuo under the corridor, he couldn't help but sigh.

The laws of the Qin State involve all aspects. Whether it is from the political, economic, military and other major national affairs, or from the small things such as building houses and opening fields, it can be said that it is all-encompassing. The law of the corridor is mainly aimed at the law of building houses, etc., in which what kind of people, what kind of houses are built, what specifications must be followed, and what materials are used, are all very clearly recorded, so that people can see at a glance.

Maybe it is because he knows that Liu Kan will soon settle in Pei County, so building a house is an indispensable thing.

Zhao Tuo gave him this volume of "Langyuan Law", perhaps to remind Liu Kan not to cross the law, otherwise he would suffer.

"Ah Kan, Ah Kan!"

As soon as he heard this voice, Liu Kan knew that he was drinking high again.

Sure enough, before the words fell, I saw the judge walking in, followed by a Tang Li, who seemed to have drunk wine.

Mrs. Kan was sewing underwear for Liu Kan in the house.

To be honest, it feels really uncomfortable without underwear. On the one hand, it is for shame, and on the other hand, it is also for hygiene. Liu Kan told Mrs. Kan what the underwear looked like. There was no paper, so she could only rely on the gesture, and Mrs. Kan finally understood Liu Kan's intentions.

Although she didn't understand why the old son wanted to make this thing, Mrs. Kan still agreed.

No, please judge his mother to come forward, buy some rags, sew and mend them, and sew underwear for Liu Kan.

"Kan, don't go out to drink!"

As soon as she saw it, Mrs. Kan frowned.

This guy is a good person, but he is a little frivolous and not steady enough, which is not as reassuring as Mr. Xiao. However, Mr. Xiao is now the chief official of the government, how can he come here easily? Anyway, Kan is not small, and some things can already be asserted.

Mrs. Kan put down the needle and thread in her hand, got up and walked out of the room, "It's not early, my mother is going to cook, you can talk to them here." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Kan also glared at Liu Kan.

Liu Kan smiled, "Mother, don't worry, the child knows the severity." ”

So, Mrs. Kan went to the kitchen. One of the judges sat on the porch, spread his legs, leaned against the pillar, and let out a long breath.

"What's wrong?"

When Liu Kan saw his appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously asked.

Tang Li said: "In the past two days, the government office has been really lively, and today at noon, dozens of people came to report. The county magistrate's hand is indeed beautiful to set an example of, and he killed a royal tomb, which can be regarded as scaring the thieves around Pei County. ”

"Yes, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid our Pei County will be peaceful!"

Liu Kan also thought so, nodded lightly, and agreed.

But Tang Li shook his head, and after sitting down, he whispered: "In my opinion, peace is only for a while, but it is impossible to be peaceful for a lifetime." ”

Liu Kanqi said: "How do you say this? ”

"Ah Kan, although you are brave, you are still inexperienced after all. The laws of the Six Kingdoms were abolished, and everyone was free. But Qin's law is strict, for the people of the Six Kingdoms, it is like a rope around their necks, how can they feel comfortable? When my grandfather was alive, he once said to my father: Although the Qin law is good, it is difficult to implement it in the Six Kingdoms. One day, if Lao Qin sweeps away the Six Kingdoms, it will just be the beginning of another chaos. ”

Tang Li's grandfather is that Mr. Tang Sui.

Liu Kan thought about it, but he admired this old gentleman very much.

Tang Li said softly: "Success is also the law, defeat is also the law...... According to the Legalists, it has reached its peak from now on, but it will inevitably fall. ”

The so-called boom and bust is probably this truth.

Liu Kan didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh, "Brother Tang, these things can't be worried about by our ordinary people. In any case, at least for ten years, Pei County will be peaceful...... Hehe, if you want me to see, we should think about what to do in the future. ”

"What should I do?" Tang Li shook his head, "Actually, I don't know what will happen in the future...... Kan, what do you have in mind? ”

"Yes, we're all so acquainted, just tell us what you think." Juan Shiqi sat up straight, saw that there was no one around, suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you just tell me, why did you replace all the knives and cloths in your hands with Qin coins?" ”

Liu Kan was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

"You kid looks stupid, but you're not stupid at all."

Judging Shiqi said: "When you asked me to exchange Qin coins, I still couldn't figure it out. But that day, after Boss Xiao said that King Qin might not seal the country, I think you, this kid, do have some ghost thoughts. To tell you the truth, I replaced the knife cloth ant nose in my hand with Qin coins. ”

"Huh?" Liu Kan's eyes widened.

Tang Li frowned, "How much have you changed?" ”

"Seven thousand antnoses!"

Liu Kan shuddered.

Seven thousand ant noses, that is, ...... 150,000 Qin coins?

F, you are judging it, I didn't expect this guy to make such a big move.

Tang Li said in surprise: "No, you ...... Changing so many Qin coins at once, why am I in Pei County and I haven't heard the slightest rumor? ”

Judging his smugness, "Nonsense, how could I do such a thing in Pei County, isn't that uncomfortable?" Let me tell you, after Boss Xiao finished talking that day, I found someone to go to Pengcheng the next day. You also know that there are many merchants there, and the circulation of Qin coins is also large, so I secretly replaced all the seven thousand ant noses with Qin coins, and then ...... Hehe, God doesn't know, ghosts don't know! ”

"You're so daring!"

Tang Li smiled bitterly: "No wonder you have been drinking for the past two days, and you have always pulled me." It turned out that I had no money on my body, so he pulled me out to prevent the disaster. ”

Liu Kan didn't speak, just quietly looked at Tang Li and the two of them.

It's weird...... With Tang Li's ability and the courage to judge it, how can he be a famous figure in history, why is he so unfamiliar? One currency, one currency...... O First Emperor, when are you going to wait before you start?
