"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Wang Jian walked forward with worry on his face.

Cao Xiu is so weird!

He has lived for so many years and has known countless people. A person like Cao Xiu, who has not yet reached the top, can know what they are thinking with just one glance. But Cao Xiu is an exception and does not play according to the routine at all.

"Don't rush."

Qin Shihuang waved his hand calmly, "It is said that the prosperity of the world is all for benefit; the hustle and bustle of the world is all for benefit. The king of thousands of chariots, the prince of thousands of families, and the king of hundreds of families are still suffering from poverty, and the situation is that the Zhuzi family is established.

People?"

"What your Majesty said is true."

Wang Jian nodded in agreement.

How could a person as greedy for money as Cao Xiu not care about being promoted to an official position? Money is just the lowest level, and the most important thing since ancient times is power. If you have great power, why are you afraid of not having money?

It is impossible for someone as shrewd as Cao Xiu to understand. He refused just now, which was obviously out of humility. Or maybe he didn't trust them, so he didn't want to reveal his true feelings.

It doesn’t matter, it’s still a long time!

How can a guy like Cao Xiu be able to outplay them?

"You are busy here, don't move around."

"I'll go over and take a look!"

"Ah?"

Seeing Qin Shihuang escape, Wang Jian was dumbfounded.

He has to do this job alone?!

Okay, okay...it's all Cao Xiu's fault!

When he goes back, he must repay Cao Xiu well!

……

……

Hall.

Grandpa Liu, who is over seventy years old, is leaning on a cane and sitting upright on a mahogany chair. Next to him is a middle-aged man who looks somewhat similar to him. Naturally, he is the famous Ren Xia Liu Ji from Peixian County!

"Unworthy!!!"

"When you meet the pavilion chief later, you must apologize profusely. You don't do your job properly on weekdays, and you can't compare to your brother Zhong in everything. These old men are just fine. But I didn't expect that you, an evil person, would go out to drink and get into debt, and even offend the pavilion chief. If not

I still have some dignity, I’m afraid I’ve captured you and made you a city dandy! Liu Ji, Liu Ji, why don’t you look like me at all?”

Old Mrs. Liu banged his cane, spittle flying everywhere. As for what he said, it went in one ear and out the other. If he could really listen and persuade, he wouldn't have been fighting with some rich families all day long.

Bo Taju.

"Aweng is really good at joking." Liu Ji scratched his head and curled his lips and said: "In the past, my eldest father was the magistrate of Fengyi, but when it was my turn, I became an ordinary citizen. I, the Liu family, was originally from a powerful clan, but now I can only

Living by farming, don’t I look like Aweng?”

"I'll beat you to death, you traitor!"

Mrs. Liu stood up angrily, picked up the crutches and started to take action. However, Liu Ji's skills were not simple, and he easily escaped around the column.

In the early years, he went to the Kingdom of Wei to follow Lord Xinling with one man and one sword. He also encountered some short-sighted bandits on the way, and they were all surrendered by him. He did not bring anyone to see the official, but instead let them all go.

I caught some oil and water.

Of course, Liu Ji will not fight back. This is not because of how filial he is, but simply because Qin law stipulates that if a son beats his father, he will be tattooed as a Cheng Dan. A few years ago, there was an unfilial case in Pei County, and an old man sued him.

His son was unfilial and asked the county temple to cut off his feet and exile him to Shu. He was not allowed to return to Pei County for the rest of his life.

After careful consideration... the county magistrate agreed!

Yes, it’s so magical!

"Hey, how can you sing this?"

Cao Xiu slowly walked out from the back of the hall.

Watching the two chasing each other, a cold expression appeared on their faces.

"Ji, I have met the pavilion chief."

Liu Ji immediately bowed and saluted, but Liu Taigong did not bow. After all, he was at this age. As he was over seventy years old, he normally did not need to salute even when he saw the county magistrate.

"No need to be polite with your first step."

Liu Ji's appearance is actually quite good. Even though he is already thirty-seven this year, he can still be called a handsome man. His forehead is high and he has a beautiful beard.

Liu Taigong stood nearby and said straight to the point: "I hope the pavilion chief will forgive me. I have no way to teach my son to get into this evil obstacle. I have offended the pavilion chief by drinking wine and owing debts, so I came here today to plead guilty."

If he were an ordinary pavilion chief, Taigong Liu would not have such a humble attitude. At best, the pavilion chief is just fighting for food with minor officials. Liu family has some connections in Pei County. But Cao Xiu, the pavilion chief, is different. He has great power. Listen,

Even if you give him a country man, he won’t change it!

Cao Xiu was not a native of Peixian County, but moved from Shanfu County of Dang County. Danren's cousin was Cao Shen, the jailor of Peixian County. The Cao family was second only to the Xiao family in Peixian County. Cao Shen had outstanding abilities.

, his work in Peixian County was also prosperous. He was only slightly worse than Xiao He in the annual assessment.

In addition to personal connections, Cao Xiu also has outstanding abilities.

When he took part in the pavilion chief assessment, he beat Liu Ji head-on. Originally, Liu Ji was confident that after three years of hard study of Qin laws, coupled with his martial arts skills, he would definitely be more than enough to be a pavilion chief, but in the end, he was cut off by Cao Xiu.

Under the governance of Cao Xiu, the Sishui Pavilion was regarded as the first pavilion in Peixian County. Even the magistrate of Peixian County once praised Cao Xiu and originally proposed to promote him to Fengyi Township. However, Cao Xiu said that he was still young and needed

After experience, I was surprised to be pushed. Provoking Cao Xiu in Surabaya Pavilion is equivalent to making enemies of all Guizhou leaders under his rule!

For this reason, Mrs. Liu didn't sleep all night last night. Before dawn, he dragged Liu Ji from Zhongyangli to Cao's house. He had a small debt due to wine. If Cao Xiu was offended because of this, then Liu Ji

How will we establish ourselves in Peixian County in the future?

Although Cao Xiu's official position is low, he is still a Qin official no matter how low he is. It is too easy to punish them. For example, to persuade the corvee, the Qin State stipulates that all adult men must serve every year. However, the service time is particular.

It would be unlucky to arrange to serve during the Chinese New Year. Not to mention the cold weather, I won’t be able to reunite with my family.

This is why the people do not fight with the officials.

Fortunately, his Liu family is relatively well off.

"Ji'er!"

After Liu Ji was scolded by the old lady, he reluctantly took off his robe, bowed reluctantly and said: "I hope the pavilion chief will not blame Yu Ji. Ji is the king's wife and the warrior woman is used to drinking, so

I forgot to write off the account, so I came here today to apologize and pay!"

With that said, Liu Ji took out all the money from the bag. They were all high-quality copper coins, and they were very dazzling. It was obviously the good money specially picked by Mrs. Liu.

"The director of the pavilion can click on it."

"No need." Cao Xiu turned around and said, "Cao'er, go get those bonds. Liu Ji, I have heard about you. You are much older than me, so I can't call you Mr. Liu too much."

But since you took the exam, you haven’t been engaged in production and have been idle all day long. This is not acceptable.”

"That's what the pavilion chief taught me!" Taigong Liu nodded in agreement, "When I go back, I will definitely teach this evil boy a lesson."

Although Liu Ji remained silent, he was really unconvinced. He was thinking that Nai Gong ate more salt than you did, so it was your turn to teach Nai Gong a lesson?!

Of course, he will definitely not show it.

"In that case, please come back first."

"Thank you, Director!"

Grandpa Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his attitude was humble enough, otherwise something would have happened!

"Wait!"

"Huh?"

Cao Xiu turned around and saw Ah Zheng running out from the side.
Chapter completed!
