Li Che looked at the energetic Xiao He and smiled.""If you don't return to your hometown after being rich, it's like traveling at night in brocade clothes. Xiao Wenshu is about to meet his fellow countrymen now.”
Xiao He smiled and said," Your Excellency is indeed perceptive. I am indeed very happy. However, I don't want to show off. I just want the people of Pei County to live a good life."”
"Don't worry! After the new law was enacted, taxes would be greatly reduced and the criminal law would be adjusted. By then, the people would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.”
Xiao He cupped his hands as he said," I thank you for your meritorious deeds on behalf of all the commoners. It's really a blessing for commoners to have the justice of the supreme court..."
Li Che waved his hand." Enough with the flattery. We are about to enter Pei County. I also want to see what kind of talents there are in this place!"”
After Li Che said this, he stared at Pei County. He was about to meet Liu Bang, Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, Zhou Bo, Cao Can, and the others. Li Che's heart was filled with anticipation.
A day later, the Qin Dynasty soldiers were less than fifty miles away from Pei County.
Pei County was in an uproar.
Zhang Han's vanguard had already arrived at Pei County. After checking the safety of Pei County, he reported to Li Che that he could go to Pei County to issue the law.
The news that Li Che was coming to Pei County spread like wildfire, causing the entire Pei County to boil.
The county captain and many county officials of Pei County didn't know what to do. They had never seen such a high-ranking official like Li Che. When they heard that Li Cheshu had led 20,000 soldiers to Pei County to issue the law, they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Of course, they were also looking forward to it.
Xiao He was appreciated by the president of the supreme court. The president of the supreme court came to Pei County to issue laws. I wonder if Xiao He followed him. If he followed him, I could ask him how to serve the president of the supreme court.
The entire Pei County slaughtered cattle and sheep, preparing tens of thousands of catties of beef and mutton. The number of Qianniu slaughtered was as many as 600. These healthy cattle were all contributed by the local families in Pei County. The local famous families in Pei County wanted to take this opportunity to gain some connections, so they contributed their livestock without any pain.
The Lu family was even more delighted. Just the Qianniu had contributed 20 and the fat sheep 50.
The Lu family was very rich. Old Master Lu gave away a precious horse like the Purple Zima without even blinking.
Li Che also liked Xiao He's Purple Horse, but he didn't want to steal it. A good horse was hard to find, but a talent like Xiao He was even harder to find. In Li Che's eyes, Xiao He was the best horse in the world!
Pei County's tenants and farmers who were on good terms with Xiao He also gathered under the pagoda tree at the entrance of Si Shui Pavilion, looking very excited.
Among the crowd was Zhou Bo, who was tall and played the suona. Zhou Bo was born in poverty. After he settled in Pei County, he made a living by weaving reed foil and silkworm tools with reeds in his youth because he was closer to Yi City. Sometimes, he worked as a drummer during weddings and funerals to make a living. However, he practiced martial arts since childhood and was skilled in archery and horse riding. He was powerful.
Zhou Bo had two sons. The eldest son, Zhou Shengzhi, was ten years old this year. The second son, Zhou Yafu, was five years old this year.
Lu Wan and Fan Kuai stood beside Zhou Bo. Fan Kuai was still wearing a coarse apron around his waist, and the blood on it was still wet. Fan Kuai sold meat, but pork was not easy to raise, so Fan Kuai caught a dog and killed it to sell meat…
Liu Bang had a straw in his mouth as he spoke excitedly.
"Don't you guys not believe me? Yesterday, when I went to Lingnan, I saw smoke and dust rolling from afar like thunder. I was shocked. I was afraid that I would encounter evil people, so I hid in the haystack. Guess what I saw?”
"What did you see?" Lu Wan asked.
"Big Horse! " I saw more than a hundred big black horses. Each of them was as tall as the eaves of a house. They were all wearing black armor. Oh my, they were so majestic. Those people were holding long halberds. The halberds were so long that they were dazzling under the sun…" Liu Bang described them one by one with his hand.
"Sharper than my knife?" Fan Kuai asked.”
" Hurry up and throw away this stupid knife. It's a blunt knife. You can kill a dog and let it run away…"
" Forget it. If it wasn't because you couldn't hold it down, I would have slit the dog's neck with this knife. If you let go, the knife would have gone astray and only pierced the dog. If I wasn't afraid of hurting you, I would have stabbed it a second time and it wouldn't have escaped…"
They were all lazy people from Sishui Pavilion. In the eyes of the other decent farmers, they were all hoodlums, led by Liu Bang…
While these people were boasting, a group of county officials ran into the Sishui Pavilion.
"Liu Bang! Where's Liu Bang?"
"Official, come, Liu Bang is here.”
"Liu Bang, a high-ranking official has come to Pei County. Tell the people of Si Water Pavilion not to go out. If anyone goes out during this period and is killed or trampled to death by horses, not only will they die in vain, but they will also punish you!”
"Official, what happened? Why aren't you letting me out?"
"A high-ranking official has come to Xianyang. There are 20,000 men and horses. Pei County county has killed more than 1,000 cattle and sheep to entertain them. Remember my words, don't cause trouble.”
After the county officials warned Liu Bang, they went to Yong Chi's house to inform him.
Yong Chi was the tyrant of Si Water Pavilion. His family was powerful. Yong Chi was familiar with military books since he was young and had a lot of power in the village. The officials wanted Yong Chi to restrain the villagers of Si Water Pavilion. At this critical moment, they must not go out at will. Otherwise, if they were killed by the Qin army, it would be a waste...
……
"A high-ranking official came to Xianyang. Shall we go and take a look?”Liu Bang looked at the people around him and asked.
Lu Wan shook her head." Just now, the officials said that we can't go. If we go, we'll be beheaded."”
" Kill the bird's head. They're just bluffing. When the State of Qin and the State of Chu were at war, they didn't even come to this godforsaken place…" Fan Kuai wanted to join in the fun.
The group of people couldn't decide. Some people wanted to go to the county to watch the show, but some people didn't want to go, afraid of causing trouble.
"Look at you cowards. If you don't go, I'll go.”
Liu Bang suddenly stood up, patted the dust off his butt, and walked toward the county town in his straw sandals.
The others glanced at him. Since the pavilion chief had gone, how could they not go?
No matter how small a pavilion officer was, he was still a pavilion chief.
