Chapter 13 Liu Taigong, bear the guilt of Jing petition
"Your Majesty, how is this good?"
Wang Jian stepped forward, his face full of worry.
Cao Xiu is too weird!
He has lived for so many years and knows countless people. A vertical like Cao Xiu, who has not yet reached the crown, only needs to know at a glance what they are thinking. But Cao Xiu is an exception, and he doesn't play cards according to the routine at all.
"Don't worry."
Qin Shi Huang waved his hand calmly, "It means that the world is bustling, and it is all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. The king of a thousand times, the prince of ten thousand families, and the king of a hundred rooms, are still poor, and the people of the erection of the household? ”
"Your Majesty is very true."
Wang Jian nodded in approval on the side.
How could a person like Cao Xiu, who is greedy for money, not care about being promoted to a knight? Money is only the lowest, and the most important thing since ancient times is power. With the power in hand, are you afraid that you will have no money?
Cao Xiu is so shrewd, it is impossible not to understand. He just refused, clearly modestly. Or they don't trust them, so they don't want to reveal their hearts.
It doesn't matter, it's still a long time coming!
As far as Cao Xiu is concerned, can he still play with them?
"Thou shalt be busy here, and thou shalt not move around."
"I'll take a look!"
"Huh?"
Seeing Qin Shi Huang slip away, Wang Jian was dumbfounded.
He has to do this job alone?!
Okay, good...... It's all to blame on Cao Xiu!
When he goes back, he will definitely repay Cao Xiu!
……
……
Hall.
Mrs. Liu, who is over 70 years old, sits upright on a mahogany chair with a cane. Next to him is a middle-aged man standing, and his appearance is somewhat similar to it, naturally it is Liu Ji, the famous Ren Xia of Pei County!
"Don't !! the Son"
"When I meet with the pavilion chief, I will apologize. On weekdays, if you don't do your job, you can't compare to your middle brother everywhere, and these old men are just that. But I didn't expect you, the evil obstacle, to be out drinking and in debt, and to provoke the pavilion chief. If it weren't for the old man, he still had some face, I'm afraid he wouldn't have arrested you as a city dan! Liu Ji, Liu Ji, why don't you look like an old man? ”
Mrs. Liu knocked on her crutches and spittled wildly. As for what he said, Liu Ji went in his left ear and went out in his right ear. If he can really listen to the persuasion, he will not fight cocks and dogs with some rich people all day long.
"Aung is really good at laughing." Liu Ji scratched his head and pouted: "In the past, the eldest father was the commander of Fengyi, and when it was Ah Weng's turn, he became an ordinary person. My Liu clan was originally a family of menyue valves, but now I can only make a living by farming, isn't this like Ah Weng? ”
"The old man killed you rebel!"
Mrs. Liu got up directly angrily, picked up the crutches and was about to do it. However, Liu Ji's skills are not simple, and he easily escaped around the column.
In the early years, he went to Wei to follow Xinlingjun with one person and one sword, and he also encountered mountain bandits who were not long-eyed on the way, and they were all surrendered by him. He didn't pull anyone to see the official, but let them all go, and fished out some oil and water when he left.
Of course, Liu Ji will not fight back. It's not that he is so filial, it's purely that Qin law stipulates that if his son beats his father, he will be made a city. A few years ago, there was a case of unfilial piety in Pei County, and an old man sued his son for being unfilial, and asked the county temple to cut off his son's feet and exile him to Shu, and he was not allowed to return to Pei County for the rest of his life.
After careful consideration, the prefectural order ...... Agreed!
Yes, it's that magical!
"Yo, where are you singing?"
Cao Xiu slowly walked out from the back of the hall.
watched the two chasing and fighting, with a cold face.
"Ji, I've seen the pavilion chief."
Liu Ji immediately bowed, but Mrs. Liu did not bow, after all, people are old here. Like he is over 70 years old, it is normal that he doesn't have to salute when he sees the county order.
"You don't have to be polite."
Liu Ji's appearance is actually quite good, even if he is thirty and seven this year, he can still be called a beautiful man. The forehead is raised high, the beautiful beard is a lot of points, and the gestures are also with an informal chivalrous demeanor.
Mrs. Liu stood next to him and said straight to the point: "I hope the pavilion chief will forgive me, the old man and his son have no way to come out of this evil obstacle." The liquor debt provoked the pavilion chief, and today he came to the door to ask for the guilt. ”
If it were an ordinary pavilion chief, Mrs. Liu's attitude would not be so humble. At best, the pavilion chief is just a small official, and his Liu family has some connections in Pei County. But Cao Xiu's pavilion chief is different, he has a lot of power, I heard that he won't change it for a countryman!
Cao Xiu is not a native of Pei County, but moved from Dangjun Shan Father County. But the cousin is Cao Shen, the prison Peng of Pei County, and the Cao family is only second only to the Xiao family in Pei County. Cao Shen has outstanding ability, and he is also doing well in Pei County. The annual assessment is only worse than Xiao He.
In addition to personal connections, Cao Xiu is also outstanding.
When participating in the pavilion chief assessment, he overwhelmed Liu Ji. Originally, Liu Ji was full of confidence and studied Qin Law for three years, coupled with his martial arts, it must be more than enough to be a pavilion chief, but he was cut off by Cao Xiu.
Under the governance of Cao Xiu, the Surabaya Pavilion can be called the first pavilion in Pei County. Even the county magistrate of Peixian County once praised Cao Xiu, and originally said that he would be promoted to Fengyi Township, but Cao Xiu said that he was still young and needed to be trained, so he was stunned. Provoking Cao Xiu in Surabaya Pavilion is equivalent to making enemies with all the leaders under his rule!
For this reason, Mrs. Liu didn't sleep all night last night. Before dawn, he pulled Liu Ji from Zhongyang to Cao's house. The debt of the wine is small, if he provokes Cao Xiu because of this, then how should he Liu gain a foothold in this Pei County in the future?
Don't look at Cao Xiu's low official position, but no matter how low he is, he is still a Qin official, and it is too easy to rectify them. For example, to persuade conscription, the Qin State stipulated that men of age must serve every year. But the service time is particular, and if it is arranged to serve for the New Year, it will be unlucky. Not to mention the cold weather, I can't reunite with my family yet.
The people do not fight with the officials, which is exactly the reason.
Fortunately, his Liu family is quite well-off.
"Ji'er!"
After Liu Ji was scolded by the old lady, he reluctantly took off his coat and reluctantly said: "I hope that the pavilion chief will not blame Ji Ji." Ji Zaina Wang is used to drinking women, so she forgot to write off the account, and specially came to the door today to make amends and settle the money! ”
As he spoke, Liu Ji took out all the money in the blanket. These are all copper coins of good quality, and the yellow ones are quite dazzling, and it is obviously a good money specially selected by Mrs. Liu.
"The pavilion chief can click on it."
"No need." Cao Xiu turned around, "Cao'er, go get those bonds." Liu Ji, I've heard about you. You are a lot older than me, and it is not an exaggeration to call Liu Gong. But after you have been assessed, you are not doing anything to produce, and you are idle all day long, so you can't do it. ”
"The pavilion chief is a lesson!" Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement, "After I go back, the old man will definitely teach this son a good lesson." ”
Although Liu Ji was silent, he was really unconvinced. Thinking that Naigong eats more salt than you eat here, it's your turn to teach Naigong a lesson?!
Of course, he certainly won't show it.
"In that case, let's go back first."
"Thank you, Pavilionman!"
Old lady Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to his humble attitude, something else would have happened!
"Wait!"
"Huh?"
Cao Xiu turned his head and saw Ah Zheng rushing out from the side.
Depend on...... Where did this guy come from?!
