Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Qilin Hall of Xianyang Palace, all the civil and military officials were sitting on both sides of the hall.
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was sitting on the dragon throne with a dignified look on his face.
He looked at the officials below with a dignified gaze.
"My dear ministers, what do you have to report?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Imperial Advisor stood up from his seat, walked to the center of the Qilin Palace, bowed to Ying Zheng and said,"
"Your Majesty, the Governor of Kuaiji Prefecture, Lord Fu Luo, sent a memorial a few days ago.”
"Fu Luo, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, Sir Fu Luo said that the local tyrants of Kuaiji Prefecture are tyrannical.
He didn't even care about the government.
He even dared to openly clamor with the government!
Thus, Sir Fu Luo requested that the Imperial Court deal with the local aristocrats in Kuaiji Prefecture as soon as possible.”
"What is it? How dare you be so bold!"
Ying Zheng's face turned ashen as he said,"
"Even the local gentry dares to look down on the Imperial Court.
One would know how arrogant these people were usually.
One could imagine how much power the Great Qin Empire had.”
"Where is the Defender Marquis?"
"Your humble subject is here." Li Xiao stood up and bowed to Ying Zheng.
"I order you to immediately send the most elite assassins of the network to Kuaiji Prefecture.
Investigate thoroughly!
As long as he could find any evidence of these people taking bribes, he would definitely kill them!”
"Yes!"
Li Xiao retreated. Actually, Fu Luo's request was also arranged by Li Xiao.
After all, they were going to attack the powerful scholar-bureaucrats in Kuaiji Prefecture.
They definitely needed the network to come forward.
This was also where Li Xiao was smart.
If he were to directly ask Ying Zheng in the Imperial Court to strike down the despots of Kuaiji Prefecture…
It was inevitable that there would be suspicion of using a public tool for personal use.
After all, many people in the royal court knew that the business of the top-grade wine was his. In the end, he sent a large number of people to Kuaiji Prefecture to attack the powerful.
Everyone knew what he wanted to do.
And if Fu Luo were to submit a petition to Ying Zheng, on one hand, he would be able to get rid of him, and on the other hand, it would also bring great benefits to Fu Luo.
Fu Luo had also been oppressed by many local tyrants in Kuaiji Prefecture.
Now that there was a chance to take revenge, he naturally wouldn't miss it.
Right at this moment, Emperor Ying Zheng suddenly turned to Li Si and asked,"
"Do you think this matter will be handled properly?”
Left Prime Minister Li Si walked out and said respectfully,"
"Your Majesty, the Network has the power to monitor the world and it is most convenient to attack these people.
If they sent the army over, they would not be able to catch the clues.
I think Your Majesty has handled it properly!"
"Alright, dear minister, you're right!"
A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face as he said,"
"Then let the net handle Fu Luo's matter, let the Defender Marquis handle it!”
At this moment, all the officials in the imperial court looked at Li Si, who was standing in the center of the Qilin Palace with cupped hands, in surprise.
Since when was Li Si so easy to talk to?
Furthermore, the Left Prime Minister Li Si and the Defender Marquis should not be on good terms!
However, Li Xiao knew what was going on. It was obvious that Li Si was returning the favor this time.
Li Xiao nodded at Li Si.
Both sides did not say anything.
After the court meeting, the Network sent out a large number of assassins in black to Kuaiji Prefecture, causing a commotion.
......
After half a month, the wounds on Liu Bang's face had completely recovered.
Initially, Liu Bang was worried that Li Xiao would send assassins from the Network to continue capturing him. However, after seeing that there was no movement, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, he was just a nobody.
Li Xiao shouldn't hate him!
During this period of time, Liu Bang had not told anyone how he got injured. Gao Yao was just curious. Only Yi Xiaochuan knew what had happened.
Just as Yi Xiaochuan was doing his best to help Liu Bang recover, Liu Bang's hatred for Yi Xiaochuan grew.
After all, Yi Xiaochuan had seen his ugly face.
Most importantly, he had been angered by Li Xiao and blamed everything on Yi Xiaochuan for implicating him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to cut off his balls!
Half a day later, Liu Bang arrived at the courier station where his subordinates lived.
After all, his identity was to escort corvee.
"What should we do, chief? This time, two of our people have sneaked away from the corvee.
It was time to hand in the corvee tomorrow.
If we don't have enough people, all of us will be beheaded!”
"That's right! Tingzhang, quickly think of a way for us! We don't want to die yet!"
......
Liu Bang's face darkened when he heard the discussion among the servants."
"What are you panicking about?
Who says we lack two servants?
Don't we have two ready-made servants that can be handed over to the government at any time?”
"We don't have two servants!”
Liu Bang couldn't help but say in a deep voice,"
"Isn't my brother Yi Xiaochuan and his fellow countryman Gao two different people?”
"But will they agree?"
"Gather all the money you have on you!
Tonight, he would prepare a banquet for them.
Tonight, they would get drunk, and tomorrow morning, they would be handed over to the officials.
What would he know tomorrow?
You must remember that it was my brother and his fellow countrymen who saved our lives.
All of you have to respect them!"
"Do you know?"
"Understood, Pavilion Master, Pavilion Master is righteous!”
"In order to save our lives, Pavilion Master has even abandoned his brothers.”
"When we return home, we will definitely publicize the noble act of the pavilion chief!”
......
When night fell, Liu Bang and his subordinates prepared a sumptuous feast.
There were also more than ten jars of old wine.
"Come, Brother Yi, let us toast you!”
"Brother Gao, let us toast you!”
"Come, let's drink!"
"Little Chuan, come, let's go again!”
"Brother Gao, let's have a drink too!"
......
Liu Bang and his subordinates all went forward to pour wine for Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao. In less than an hour, they had made them collapse on the banquet table.
"Come, big brother, let's continue drinking!”
"First, carry my Brother Xiao Chuan and Brother Gao over to rest!”
Yi Xiaochuan was still chatting when he was carried to the sleeping mat at the back by two servants.
After Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao were carried to the back, the group of laborers staggered to Liu Bang's side.
At this moment, Liu Bang squeezed out two fake tears and said,"
"I, Liu Bang, am really not human. I am really not human. This Little Chuan is my sworn brother!
But now, in order to save everyone's lives.
I actually harmed him like this."
Liu Bang emphasized the words " let everyone live ", obviously telling them that it was Liu Bang who saved their lives.
His appearance of buying people's hearts was simply hypocritical to the extreme.
However, these illiterate laborers were all extremely moved.
She was really touched by Liu Bang.
"Chief, you can't say that. What you're doing is a righteous thing!”
"That's right, Tingzhang, you saved our lives!”
"When we return to Pei County, we will definitely praise the noble deed of the pavilion chief!”
"We will definitely repay the great kindness you have shown us in the future!”
......
Seeing that these people had been fooled by him, Liu Bang deliberately wiped his tears and said,"
"Alright, it's getting late.
Tomorrow was the day of the payment, so he could not miss the official business.
Everyone, go to bed early!"
"Then the chief has to sleep early too!"
When the corvee was tricked by Liu Bang, they all went back to their places to sleep.
Liu Bang took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sack.
Then, he took out an ink-dipped brush.
"Brother Xiao Chuan and Brother Gao, which one of them should be the palace slave?”
Liu Bang thought for a moment, then put down the brush in his hand and took out a copper coin."
"Use this copper coin to decide which of the two of them will be the official slave.
If the word 'Yi' was on it.
Then let my brother Xiaochuan be an official slave.”
Bang!
It started to spin rapidly and then landed on the bamboo scroll with the word 'Yi' facing up.
"Looks like Brother Xiaochuan is going to be an official slave!”
Liu Bang said as he picked up the ink brush and prepared to write Yi Xiaochuan's name on the bamboo slip.
"No!"
"Xiao Chuan is my sworn brother. How can I let him become a eunuch?”
"Besides, Little Chuan has always been smart and quick-witted.
If he was sent to the palace, he would one day stand out.
If he returns to Pei County, what should I do?”
Liu Bang thought for a moment and said,"
"It seems that we can only let Brother Xiaochuan do the hard labor of building the Great Wall.
Since ancient times, no one had ever heard of the arduous task of building the Great Wall, and anyone had returned alive!
Yes, let's do that!"
"Sigh, I can only let Brother Gao down!”
Thinking of this, Liu Bang picked up the ink brush and began to write the names of Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan in the corresponding positions on the bamboo slips.
Then, he continued to keep the bamboo slips.
He slowly placed it into the burlap bag.
"Brother, I, Liu Bang, have let you down!”
After cleaning up, Liu Bang had a good night's sleep.
