Chapter 100: Thieves as Soldiers
"Your Majesty, what are you bringing your ministers here for?"
Qin Chuan didn't speak, and gently pushed open the courtyard door.
Li Er was sleeping on the chair inside, and there were a few jewels on the table in front of him, which seemed to have just been acquired.
This thing is a thief, he sees six ways and listens to all directions, and as soon as the courtyard door opens, he opens his eyes.
Seeing that it was Qin Chuan coming, he got up instantly: "Prince? ”
Qin Chuan: "You are still a thief, the prince is the old Huang calendar, and I am now the emperor." ”
While speaking, Qin Chuan walked up to him and grabbed a string of jewels: "Yo, the condition is good, just got it?" The big goods are pressed for three days, and you just put them on the table? ”
Li Er smiled: "There are not many people coming to this alley, just a few old guys, how did I know that the emperor was coming." Who is this old man? ”
"This is Lord Liu."
"Oh, then the emperor came to me to see the scenery?"
Li Er is still the same Li Er, unruly, not groveling like others.
Liu Zhongping's face is not good, how can the dignified king of a country deal with a thief, it hurts the saints.
"Li Er, I want to ask you for a favor and do something."
Running errands again, Li Er sat back and slapped his belly with a banana fan: "Your Majesty, isn't the matter between us already over, why are you still looking for me?" I'm not an official, I'm a thief at best, you're the emperor Laozi, we can't stand it. ”
"You are a righteous thief, different from ordinary thieves, what I asked you to do, you have to go, you have to go, you have to go, you have to go."
He rolled his eyes: "Come on, I, Li Er, have never been threatened by anyone, so you should ask for another master." If you don't like me, you can arrest me, you can kill me, but you must not force me, that's my temper. ”
This thief is really arrogant.
Liu Zhongping couldn't look at it, and was furious: "You thief!" In front of the emperor, you dare to speak like this, it's against you! ”
He closed his eyes and hummed a little tune, ignoring it.
Qin Chuan has a way to deal with this kind of person, is it a thief...... What kind of punishment should be imposed for stolen things, just convict it.
People who say that they are not afraid of death, when they really want to die, they will not be so righteous and unrestrained.
Holding a piece of golden Buddha, Qin Chuan looked at the bottom and sat down: "Yo, this thing is not cheap, Liu Gong, how much do you think this is worth?" ”
"The sea has gone, let alone three thousand taels of silver."
"Count everything on the table, how much is it worth."
Liu Gong glanced at it roughly: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand these things, but it will never be less than 80,000 taels of silver." These things must have been stolen from the rich and noble, according to the laws of Great Xia, 80,000 taels of silver is enough for Ling Chi. ”
The word Ling Chi made Li Erteng jump up in fright: "Hey, hey, what are you two singing and harmonizing?!" Your Majesty, when you were the crown prince, we discussed it, you said that you would give me convenience, and I have never robbed the rich to help the poor, and I did not steal from the common people, why did you kill me?! ”
"Robbing the rich and helping the poor? The money of the rich is also accumulated by others, and people do not steal or rob, why do you want to steal? ”
"You...... You're being unreasonable. ”
Qin Chuan: "Hehehe, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I will give you greater convenience, and I will also give you a gold medal, and you can be exempted from the crime if you are caught by the people of the Yamen, how about it?" ”
Fight with whom, don't fight with Emperor Lao Tzu, Li Er is discouraged now.
He sighed: "Say, what do you want me to steal, I was blackmailed by you." ”
"Don't steal this time, burn things this time, and you're not enough alone, I need agile hands, and you have to be ten people in your industry."
Li Er was weird: "Ten people? Ten thieves? ”
"Yes."
He groped his chin: "Your Majesty, what kind of play is this singing, ten thieves...... Oh my god, are you stealing the Jade Emperor's pants? ”
"It's to go to the border, burn the grain and grass in Western Qin, and burn down the two big warehouses in Western Qin."
This is a big thing, and it can scare the thief.
Li Er clasped his nose and rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, aren't you cheating me, I will only steal things, you let me go to Xiqin, how far is that, and you want me to burn it...... No, you wait a while, can't the imperial court send people, so you have to let us go from the wild road? ”
For this, Qin Chuan is difficult to say, the relationship between the border people and Zhou Dewei is ambiguous and difficult to restrain it.
In addition, there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in Western Qin who are missing, and thousands of people on the border cannot leave their posts without permission, so the use of people on the rivers and lakes is not only hidden, but also able to surprise and be flexible.
Qin Chuan: "This favor, you have to help me no matter what, I won't let you do it in vain, after the matter is completed, you and the other nine people, I will give you a token each, and enjoy the benefits of the imperial court." ”
"Wait a minute...... Your Majesty, those of us who do three hands, it is not rare for the court's reward, as long as one person gives two thousand taels of gold, since it is a transaction, it is better to be simple and direct. ”
Liu Zhongping couldn't bear it: "Your Majesty, is this too child's play?" ”
"Duke Liu, I can only do this, the border affairs are complicated, and the magistrates are unreliable, this is a helpless move for me to do."
There is a word first, Qin Chuan didn't ask about the identities of the other nine people, he just handed over the money to Li Er, and he didn't ask about the rest of the matter.
On the way back, Liu Zhongping always felt that this matter was inappropriate.
"Your Majesty, you let a thief do such a big thing, it's too rash, the thief took the money, what if he ran away? Can he agree to go to Xiqin? ”
Qin Chuan: "Liu Gong, don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, Li Er has helped me, you can be trusted, he is a righteous thief, and this matter has to be done by someone like him." ”
After returning to the palace, Qin Chuan was also sleepy, so he wanted to stay in the south study.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Xiao came to report and said that today should be the day of Princess Qinchuan Linxing Anping, and the queen specially arranged it.
Princess Anping's current position is Concubine Lan, and she is waiting in her palace.
"Your Majesty, will you drive over now?"
"No, I'm tired all day, and I just want to rest."
"Yes."
Men, when they are tired to a certain extent, they don't want women in their minds, and no matter how beautiful they are, they can't be interested.
He slept until noon.
"Huh? Xiao Banban, what time is it? ”
Xiao Jin looked sluggish: "Your Majesty, how many ...... Dot...... What does that mean? ”
Ouch, forgetting that he had crossed over, and he spoke smoothly, Qin Chuan yawned: "What time is it?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's the beginning of noon. Are you going to Concubine Lan's palace? ”
Oops I'll go, forget about the princess.
Qin Chuan quickly put on his shoes: "Let's go!" Go meet the princess now. ”
