Chapter 40 For the name, but also for the people!(1/2)

 "Brother misunderstood me."

Cao Xiu quickly stood up and waved.

"I'm not hoarding, but I'm in a hurry. I just moved to Pei County in the past, and it coincided with the years of war. The rich raised the price of food to 500 meters per stone. In the head of Guizhou, the situation was miserable, and the only food was bark and grass roots.

.Thousands of miles away, there are people dying of hunger, and the ground is covered with red soil. As far as the eye can see, children and daughters are sold in Guizhou. Now in Dasuo Surabaya County, there will definitely be chaos!"

Mentioning this matter, Cao Xiu shed bitter tears.

At that time, the grain had just been planted, and you had to wait at least several months for a harvest. As a result, there were natural disasters and wars, so that some hungry people in Guizhou went to eat the seedlings that had not yet grown in the fields.

Swallow it into your stomach.

"It's true that I misunderstood you."

Cao Shen's tone softened.

Even though I have known Cao Xiu for many years, I still feel that I can't see through him. Cao Xiu is obviously a person who can't afford to start early, but he is willing to adopt orphans and homeless people. He spends his own money to build a private school and let them practice literature and martial arts. Perhaps Cao Xiu is trying to educate them.

Cultivated as a dead soldier, but there are some differences.

"Is Xiuer doing this for fame or profit?"

"For fame, 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.

Is it possible that this guy is having sex?

Hiss...

Is it grass?!

He knew that Cao Xiu would be unable to hold it in sooner or later. Thinking about how Cao'er was getting more and more out of control now, and how he kept Cao'er's house in order, according to Cao Xiu, Cao'er was his personal secretary. As the so-called busy secretary

Damn, it’s okay...

"..."

Cao Xiu felt guilty when she saw Xiao He.

"Brother, please don't misunderstand me."

"What did I misunderstand?"

"..."

So, Xiao He and Cao Shen went back first.

The price of rice will skyrocket, and they have to deal with it in advance. This matter will definitely affect the governor of Sishui County. If Cao Xiu can solve this matter smoothly, he will definitely win the favor of the governor.

……

"Ah Zheng, Jian!"

"Come to the study, there is an important combat mission!"

As soon as Cao Xiu swallowed his voice, the yellow dogs in the courtyard jumped up in shock. He turned his head blankly and found that it was Cao Xiu, and lazily lay down on the ground again.

Not long after, Qin Shihuang slowly walked to the study.

"What, the house was robbed again?"

"I am very serious and will not mess around with you."

"You said the same thing last time."

"..."

"When have you ever been serious?"

"..."

Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian sang in harmony.

It’s true that Cao Xiu doesn’t behave properly on weekdays. He doesn’t stand up or sit down. Just because he doesn’t want to kneel down for convenience, he made an object like a chair.

Yesterday, he said there was something good going on. Qin Shihuang hurried over and saw Cao Xiu suspended in mid-air with her hair hanging upside down. Seeing this, Qin Shihuang was almost frightened. No matter how courageous he was, he had never seen anything like this.

Wang Jian was not afraid of the ghostly scene. He just drew his sword and killed the evil ghost Cao Xiu.

Then... the straw rope hanging on Cao Xiu's back broke.

Is this something a human can do?

No wonder the dogs in the village stopped barking when Cao Xiu went out.

"Cough cough cough!"

Cao Xiu looked embarrassed and said with great seriousness: "As the saying goes, you can't keep the things of yesterday. Being too obsessed with the past will only increase your troubles. Let us be companions in the world of mortals, eat in vain and fat, ride horses galloping, and share the world.

Delicious."

"You said a lot, but I just didn't understand."

"Cough cough cough!"

Cao Xiu suddenly felt extremely empty, lonely and cold.

"Back to the main topic, I'll keep the story short." Cao Xiu looked at the two of them and whispered: "A few days ago, the First Emperor was attacked by assassins in Langya County, so he retreated back to Xianyang. He left behind Li Si, Wang Ben and other nobles in the court, Che

Check the assassin."

"Just know."

Qin Shihuang seemed very calm.

He and Wang Jian had discussed it long ago, and this matter was obviously a cover. They said they were catching assassins, but in fact they must have come to find them. Just to avoid suspicion from outsiders, they made such an excuse.

"The assassin was really cunning. He later fled to Dongwu County, and with the help of the magistrate of Dongwu County, he escaped again. My sworn brother said that Surabaya County had obtained a document written by Li Si and sealed all the passes in Surabaya County in order to capture the assassin.

."

"Tobu County... County Magistrate?!"

Qin Shihuang slammed the table and stood up.

He still remembers this animal very well!

At that time, he and Wang Jian were living in Dongwu County. Fortunately, the Black Bird Jade Talisman he wore next to his body was still there. So he went directly to the Dongwu County Temple, no matter what, contact Li Si and the others first. Who would have expected that Dongwu

The county magistrate actually took advantage of the wealth and snatched the jade talisman directly, and then drove them away!

Since he ascended the throne, when has he suffered from this anger?

"Damn it, do you still know the magistrate of Dongwu County?"

"Ahem, it does have something to do with it."

"That's no wonder. I guess Magistrate Towu's identity was exposed. He was really miserable. I heard that his whole family was killed, and even the family dog ​​was not spared."

"Huh?!"

Qin Shihuang frowned and looked at Wang Jian.

They all realized something was wrong.

First of all, the assassin is simply fake. Then the reason why Li Si killed Dongwu County Magistrate was not because he colluded with the assassin, but because he found the Black Bird Jade Talisman.

If he is Li Si, he must find out the person he holds based on the jade talisman. No matter who it is, he has to dig three feet into the ground to find it. Now that Sishui County is sealed, it means that their whereabouts are found within the scope of Sishui County.

.

Li Si has outstanding abilities, so he must be able to think of this. If he can't even find out this, there is no need for the prime minister to do it.

"Then what?"

"Dasuo Surabaya County, this is going to be troublesome!" Cao Xiu sighed, "If we are found here, wouldn't we be doomed?"

"Um..."

It would be a good thing if we really want to find out about Pei County!

"Of course, this possibility is very small. Besides, I have many people to protect me. If it doesn't work, I can run away and become the king of the mountain and the bandit of the grass. In addition, there is another disadvantage. Dasuo Surabaya County will definitely cause the local food price to skyrocket.

, the latest is tomorrow."

"Indeed."

Qin Shihuang nodded clearly, and then his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Is it possible that you plan to use this to hoard food prices, and then make a fortune?!"

"Damn, am I this kind of person?!"

"Yes!"

Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian nodded firmly at the same time.

Cao Xiu looked at the two of them and sighed, "So, I am so unbearable in your hearts?"

"That's not true."
To be continued...
