After seeing the person coming, Cao Xiu quickly stepped forward.

"Xiu, I've met my adopted brother."

"I've met my uncle."

Since ancient times, brothers and uncles have been ranked as uncles. Although Cao Shen is a cousin, he is also the elder of the Cao family, so Cao Xiu directly calls him uncle.

When they moved from Dang County to Pei County, the life of the orphans and widowers was quite difficult. Cao Shen never disliked them and took care of Cao Xiu as his own brother. When his mother died of illness, Cao Shen presided over the funeral, so she could be buried in a grand ceremony.

Cao Xiu's success in Peixian County was all due to Cao Shen's backing.

Cao Xiu was not afraid of Cao Shen, but respected him. Cao Xiu respected him not only because of his achievements in history, but mainly because of Cao Shen's various care and help to him.

Cao Shen was a true all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. When Liu Bang established his capital in Chang'an to discuss merit and rewards, Cao Shen ranked second in merit. After hundreds of battles, he captured two vassal states and 122 counties. The world was at peace.

Later, he became prime minister and adopted Huang Lao's theory of recuperation.

Cao Shen smiled and nodded in approval.

"No need to be too polite. Xiao Jun and I are here to inspect your reading of the order today. You must behave well and don't let Xiao Jun get the handle."

"Ahem, I will do my best!"

The so-called reading of orders actually means reading out and explaining laws. Since King Shang's reform, great emphasis has been placed on reading orders. Because Qin's laws are complicated, if the head of Guizhou does not know the laws of Qin, he will not be afraid and will easily make mistakes and be punished.

Qin Fa is the soul of Qin!

Every Qin official must engrave Qin law into his soul!

"If the second and third sons don't understand the rules and regulations, they can ask."

"Ahem, I have it!"

Then, I saw a middle-aged man standing up nervously. His face was somewhat similar to Liu Ji, but darker. The nails on both hands were stained with dirt, and he could tell at a glance that he was someone doing farm work.

He is Liu Ji's brother, Liu Xi.

"If you don't understand anything, you can ask now."

Cao Xiu held a wooden tablet measuring one foot and six inches, with the time and place written on it, as well as his and Liu Xi's names. There were two copies, and he and Liu Xi each held one. Liu Xi's questions were to be recorded on it.

, and Cao Xiu’s answer.

"If a wife is violent and her husband beats her and treats her, her ears will be broken, her fingers will be broken, and her body will be mutilated, what should the husband say?"

"Be patient!"

"Thank you, Mr. Pavilion."

Cao Xiu answered fluently, after all, these were all lines that had been agreed upon a long time ago. What Liu Xi asked was if a husband beats his wife and ends up tearing her ear, breaking her limbs and fingers, or causing dislocation, what should be the judgment?

Very simple, endure punishment!

This is a relatively humiliating criminal law. It is equivalent to shaving off all the beard and sideburns of this person, leaving only the hair. When he walks out, he will be laughed at by others. This is a sinner who has been punished.

During the Qin Dynasty, people paid great attention to their beard and hair.

Normal men will grow beards, and there will never be a man with a cleaner face than a woman like in later movies and TV shows. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore being slovenly. You also need to take care of your beard after growing it. Like Liu Ji, he is in

Pei County is famous for its beautiful beards.

After explaining, Cao Xiu wrote down.

Then, the wooden talisman was divided into two parts. The left one was given to Liu Xi, and the right one belonged to him. After returning, he had to put the wooden talisman into a wooden box and then hand it over to the local mistress to seal it.
p>

Don't think that this is the end of it. If Cao Xiu didn't interpret it or his interpretation was wrong, it would be troublesome in the future. If Liu Xi committed this crime, the county magistrate sentenced him to a long term, but Liu Xi said that at that time

If the pavilion chief says he is not guilty, then Cao Xiu and Liu Xi will be tortured together!

This is exactly the case, so even though Qin is regarded as a barbaric Qin, in fact, the literacy rate of Qin people was the highest at this time. This was purely forced by Qin's law, and it was not enough if they didn't know it.

……

……

Cao Shen looked at it with interest and smiled helplessly.

"Look, do these people look familiar?"

"Can I be unfamiliar? Every time he comes to Zhongyangli, the people he picks are all the same." Xiao He stroked his beard and said with a wry smile: "I think this must have been arranged by Xiu'er."

"I'm still lazy..."

Naturally, this could not be hidden from Cao Shen and Xiao He.

However, Cao Shen obviously has no intention of pursuing it.

"Well, there's a problem!"

At this moment, I heard a slightly childish voice.

Qin Shihuang stood on the stone pier, raising his right hand high.

"Oh? Is it him?"

"Who is he?"

"Xiu'er's newly adopted child." Xiao He smiled faintly, "It's just that the origin of this child must be extraordinary. At only eight years old, he is proficient in the laws and regulations of hundreds of schools. I heard that he is also proficient in riding and archery swordsmanship."

"So awesome?!"

Cao Shen was shocked when he heard this.

Where did you pick this baby up?

He also has to pick them up and take them back!

"Cough cough cough!"

"You are too young, so don't make trouble."

Cao Xiu was quite unhappy.

"No matter your age, you should read the order."

Qin Shihuang was very disappointed.

As a Qin official, Cao Xiu didn't even understand Qin's laws?

Do you still have to rely on this method to cheat and cheat?

"Chengchengcheng, just ask!"

"If there is more than one word for profit or loss in a decree, what does it matter?"

"There will be no forgiveness until death!"

For example, Li Si formulated regulations and passed them down layer by layer. If any official missed or added a word in the process, he would die!

"If you use the cattle field and the cattle reduce the income, what does the owner say?"

"The one who beats the master is ten inches!"

Cao Xiu still answered questions fluently.

Speaking of this, Cao Xiu had a headache. He had also read some online articles about letting cows fall to death and then eating beef. In fact, it was impossible to do this in the Qin State. During the farming period, Qin State's treatment of cattle

The protection is simply outrageous, even more exaggerated than protecting pandas in future generations.

For example, if oxen are used to plow the fields, and the waistline of the oxen is reduced, the person in charge will be beaten ten times for every inch lost. Every year in April, July, October, and the first month of the year, the oxen will be judged. Those who raise the oxen well will be rewarded.

The poor ones still have to work hard.

If the cow dies, it must be reported to the county magistrate immediately. The body will then be inspected by a specialized person and confirmed to be correct before it is collected. If the body is not disposed of in time and causes decay, the county magistrate will have to make up for it himself. After processing, the sinews, skin, corners and

All money earned from selling the meat must be handed over.

The county's cattle-raising situation is also assessed every year. If more than one-third of the cattle die, then the officials in charge of the cattle, the apprentices, orders, and prime ministers who feed the cattle are all guilty. If the cow does not give birth to a calf, he will also be punished.

!

These days, cow life is more valuable than human life!

Qin Shihuang asked several more questions.

As a result, Cao Xiu could answer questions fluently and effortlessly.

And, every word is correct!

"Any more questions?"

"You are obviously proficient in the laws of Qin, why do you resort to fraud?"

"Fuck..."

Cao Xiu glanced at Cao Shen furtively, her face full of embarrassment.

"Xiu'er, why do you do this?"

Cao Shen also stepped forward to ask.

"No need to ask, Xiu'er definitely didn't want to write the wooden talisman. So he asked Cao'er to write the wooden talisman in advance, and then arranged it properly here, so that he could hide it from the enemy!"

"The one who knows me is Mr. Xiao!"

Cao Xiu was moved to tears.

"Xiu'er..."

Qin Shihuang stared, and for a long time two words came out.

He never expected that there could be someone like Cao Xiu?

Just because you don’t want to write, do you do so many things?

"It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that it's too difficult to write on wooden symbols!"

"Don't worry, it will be convenient when I get the paper out."
