Chapter 40: For the Name, for the People!
"Big brother misunderstood me."
Cao Xiu hurriedly got up and waved his hand.
"I'm not trying to hoard Juqi, I'm in a hurry. In the past, when I had just moved to Pei County, it coincided with years of war, and the rich families raised the price of grain to 500 rice stones, while the Qianshou had nothing to say, and could only use bark and grass roots as food. Thousands of miles of starvation, full of terracotta. As far as the eye can see, Qianshou sells his sons and daughters. Now Dasuo Surabaya County will be in chaos! ”
mentioned this, Cao Xiu just cried bitter tears.
At that time, the grain had just been planted, and it would take at least a few months for the harvest to be harvested. As a result, they were hit by natural disasters and wars, so that some Qianshou were hungry to eat the seedlings that had not yet grown in the fields. A handful of seedlings and a handful of tears, just swallowed into the stomach.
"I misunderstood you."
Cao Shen's tone softened at this time.
Even if I have known Cao Xiu for many years, I always feel that I can't see through him. Cao Xiu is obviously a person who can't afford to be unprofitable, but he is willing to adopt orphans and displaced people. Pay out of their own pockets to build private schools, so that they can practice literature and martial arts. Cao Xiu may have been cultivating them as dead soldiers, but there were some differences.
"Xiu'er's move, is it for fame or profit?"
"For the sake of the name, but also for the people."
"Oh?"
Xiao He looked at Cao Xiu with interest.
He suddenly felt that Cao Xiu seemed to have grown up.
Could it be that this kid opened a meat and fishy one?
Hiss......
Is it grass?!
He knew that Cao Xiu would not be able to hold back sooner or later. Thinking about Cao'er's whereabouts now, Cao'er is also taking care of Cao's house in an orderly manner, according to Cao Xiu, Cao'er is his personal secretary. As the saying goes, if the secretary has something to do, it's okay......
“……”
Cao Xiu was looked at by Xiao He's heart.
"Brother Yi, don't misunderstand."
"What did the old man misunderstand?"
“……”
So, Xiao He and Cao Shen went back first.
The price of rice is going to skyrocket, and they have to deal with it in advance. This matter will definitely affect the county guard of Surabaya County, and if Cao Xiu can solve this matter smoothly, he will definitely be favored by the county guard.
……
"Ah Zheng, Pu!"
"Come to the study, there is an important combat mission!"
Cao Xiu's throat went down, and the yellow dogs in the courtyard jumped up. After turning his head blankly and finding that it was Cao Xiu, he lazily lay on the ground again.
Not long after, Qin Shi Huang slowly walked to the study.
"What, there is another thief in the house?"
"I'm serious and don't mess around with you."
"That's what you said last time."
“……”
"When did you ever get serious?"
“……”
Qin Shi Huang and Wang Jian are singing and harmonizing.
It's really that Cao Xiu doesn't have a proper line on weekdays, and he doesn't stand and sit together. Just because I didn't want to kneel and sit for convenience, I made a chair and this kind of object.
Yesterday, he said that there was something good, Qin Shi Huang hurriedly ran over, and saw Cao Xiu suspended in mid-air, his hair hanging upside down. Seeing this scene, Qin Shi Huang almost didn't scare the burp. Rao is a man of courage, and he has never seen such a ghostly scene. Wang Jian was not afraid, and he directly drew his sword to cut down Cao Xiu, the evil ghost.
And then...... The straw rope hanging on Cao Xiu's back was broken.
Is this tnd something that people can do?
No wonder Cao Xiu went out, and the dogs in the village stopped barking.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Cao Xiu's face was embarrassed, and she said with a very straight face: "The so-called things of yesterday cannot be kept, and being too obsessed with the past will only increase your troubles." Let us be the companion of Hongchen and eat for nothing. Gallop and share the delicious taste of the world. ”
"You said a lot, but I didn't understand it."
"Ahem, ahem!"
Cao Xiu suddenly felt extremely empty, lonely and cold.
"Without further ado, I'll make a long story short." Cao Xiu looked at the two of them and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, the First Emperor encountered an assassin attack in Langya County, so he retreated back to Xianyang first. Leave Li Si Wang Ben and other nobles in the court to investigate the assassins thoroughly. ”
"I know."
Qin Shi Huang seemed very calm.
He had discussed with Wang Jian early on, and this matter was clearly a cover. Said to be catching assassins, in fact they must have come to them. Just to avoid the suspicion of people outside, I found such an excuse.
"The assassin was really cunning, and later fled to Tobu Prefecture, where he ran away again with the help of the Tobu Prefecture Commander. My brother said that Surabaya County had obtained Li Si's handwritten document and sealed all the passes in Surabaya County in order to capture the assassins. ”
"Tobu Prefecture...... Magistrate?! ”
Qin Shi Huang slammed the table and stood up.
He remembered the animal very well!
At that time, he and Wang Jian were exiled to Dongwu County, and the loss was that the Xuanniao jade talisman he wore was still there. So I went directly to the Tobu County Temple, no matter what, I contacted Li Si and them first. Who would have thought that the Dongwu County Decree would actually snatch the jade talisman directly and drive them away!
When did he suffer this anger since he ascended the throne?
"Damn, do you still know that Tobu County Order?"
"Ahem, it does have something to do with it."
"Then it's no wonder, it is estimated that the identity of the Tobu County Order has been exposed. He was really miserable, I heard that the whole family was killed by the pit, and he didn't even let go of the family dog. ”
"Huh?!"
Qin Shi Huang frowned and looked at Wang Jian in the eye.
They all realized that something was wrong.
First of all, the Assassins are simply fake. Then Li Si's killing of the Dongwu County Order should not be the reason for colluding with the assassins, perhaps because he found the Xuanniao Jade Fu.
If he is Li Si, he must find out the person who holds it according to the jade talisman. It doesn't matter who it is, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out. Now Surabaya County is sealed, that is, it is found that their whereabouts are within the territory of Surabaya County.
Li Si has outstanding ability, and he must be able to think of these things. If you can't even find out this, the prime minister doesn't have to do it.
"And then?"
"Dasuo Surabaya County, this is troublesome!" Cao Xiu sighed, "If you find out that we are here, won't it be the end of the calf?" ”
"Forehead ......"
If you really want to find out Pei County, it's a good thing!
"Of course, this is very unlikely. Besides, I also have a lot of people to shelter, and if I can't do it, I can run away, occupy the mountain as the king, and fall into the grass as a coward. Another drawback is that the price of food in Surabaya County will skyrocket, at the latest tomorrow. ”
"Indeed."
Qin Shi Huang nodded clearly, and then his pupils contracted suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that you plan to use this to hoard Juqi and raise the price of grain, and then make a lot of money?!" ”
"Damn, am I that kind of person?!"
"Yes!"
Qin Shi Huang and Wang Jian nodded firmly at the same time.
Cao Xiu looked at the two of them, but sighed, "It turns out that I am so unbearable in your hearts?" ”
"Not really."
"Huh?"
"It's a hundred times worse than that, no, ten thousand times!"
Damn, I can't talk about it this day!
Cao Xiuqiang suppressed the anger in his heart.
He has to be a good teacher, and he can't physically punish students!
"Maybe you misread me Cao Xiu yesterday, and then you misread it today, and you may be wrong in the future, but I am still me. I've always been a man who has money and whomever earns money, but I won't be in the same league as those merchants. ”
"That, you should be the richest in Pei County."
“……”
"Lean !!!"
