The next day, Li Xiao was in the study looking at the information that the Network had recently sent back.
He put the useful ones aside and threw the useless ones into the trash.
bang bang bang
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
The door of the study room was pushed open, and a fragrance immediately wafted into his face. Li Xiao did not raise his head and said indifferently,"
"My husband is currently busy approving the documents.
I don't have the time to play with you for the time being.
If you are bored, let De Xiang bring the assassins of the Network to accompany you on the streets.
It would also save him the trouble of staying in the residence all day.”
But when his voice sounded, Lu Zhi or Lu Su's voice did not come from the study, causing Li Xiao to involuntarily frown slightly.
Li Xiao immediately raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him.
"You are De Xiang?"
Li Xiao's tone even carried a trace of uncertainty.
Because the woman standing in front of him even made him feel a sense of amazement.
Since then, he has been embracing Lu Su and Lu Zhi on both sides.
Li Xiao's willpower was very strong.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
Because of the Tiger Leopard Vajra Pill, De Xiang's skin had become fair and tender, and the edges of her skin had become gentler. When she wore Great Qin's women's clothes, she looked like a young lady from a noble family.
Seeing Li Xiao's shock, De Xiang's face could not help but reveal a few blushes as she said,
"Eldest Furen and Young Furen saw De Xiang become like this.
She said she couldn't let De Xiang wear her old clothes.
That was why she had specially chosen the clothes for De Xiang!”
"Lord Marquis, isn't it nice?" De Xiang asked shyly.
Li Xiao smiled and said,"
"You look like a girl now.
He was no longer like a tomboy who wore red clothes all day long.
En, it was much more beautiful now!
In the future, you will wear this in the residence."
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Hearing Li Xiao's praise, De Xiang's face couldn't help but flash with joy. She also had a hint of shyness, as if she was very happy to be praised by Li Xiao.
Indeed, the current Defender Marquis Li Xiao's reputation in Xianyang City was like the sun at noon.
A jade-like handsome man, the Defender Marquis!
Just how handsome was this man to have such an exaggerated title?
It simply attracted countless young girls who were in love.
It was said that countless young ladies of noble families in Xianyang City had their eyes on Li Xiao. During this period of time, there were countless people who came to him to propose marriage.
Even if he knew that Li Xiao already had the two sisters of the Lu family as his wife.
But there was still the position of a concubine, right?
Even Ying Zheng had once thought of betrothing the princess to him, which made Li Xiao break out in a cold sweat!
Sometimes, it was not good to be too good-looking.
At this moment, De Xiang said,"
"Lord Marquis, just now Tiansha sent someone back to say that the white paper has been successfully created.
The craftsmen were all under control.
Ask the Lord Marquis when he will go to the outskirts to take a look?”
"Oh, so fast?"
Li Xiao nodded and said,"
"Let's go take a look in a few days. If possible, we'll move to Kuaiji Prefecture.
After all, there were too many people in Xianyang City.
There were some things that were inconvenient to get involved in.”
"Understood, Lord Marquis."
......
During this period of time, because the Network had replenished enough manpower to begin clearing out the 36 counties in the world, the intensity of the clean-up had also increased.
Therefore, it could be said that there were a lot of things.
Li Xiao did not have the time to care about anything else.
At noon, the convoys that were sent to build the Great Wall had already set off from Xianyang City, and the Meng Army was responsible for guarding them.
The corvee for the construction of the Great Wall would usually be replenished from various places at regular intervals.
Because the distance between each place and Xianyang City was different, the imperial court would set a fixed time limit for the payment.
When all of them reached Xianyang, they would be sent to the Great Wall.
"Um, big brother, what happened? Why was the wooden bed at the courier station still shaking?”
Yi Xiaochuan rubbed his eyes and raised his head sleepily. However, he suddenly woke up.
"Where is this? Aren't I at the relay station?"
One of the servants at the side could not help but say,
"Brother, you must have gone crazy from drinking!
We're on the way to the Great Wall, and we're all working hard to build the Great Wall!
Do you think you're still drinking at the relay station?"
"What?"
Yi Xiaochuan said in disbelief,"
"How can I be a servant? I was drinking with my brother yesterday!
Why was I sent here to build the Great Wall?
Is there a mistake?"
"Did you make a mistake?"
The corvee at the side could not help but complain,
"The hard labor of Great Qin's Great Wall has to be registered in the government.
How could there be a registration error?
Even if they made a mistake, according to Great Qin's laws, they would be beheaded!”
To the servants at the side, Yi Xiaochuan was probably someone who had not seen much of the world. He was probably scared sh * tless by the construction of the Great Wall.
After all, everyone knew that the chances of surviving the Great Wall were almost zero.
Anyone would be afraid.
However, for someone as afraid as Yi Xiaochuan, there was probably something strange going on.
He wasn't afraid of provoking the Meng Army.
Give him a few whips!
Yi Xiaochuan kept shaking his head when he heard the servant's words. Only after he was sure that he was not dreaming did he shout,"
"Impossible, I'm not a servant at all!
How can I be here? I can't go with you to build the Great Wall.
I still want to fight with my big brother.
I still have to stop Li Xiao!"
"Yes, I want to leave. I have to leave!
Why would I, Yi Xiaochuan, build the Great Wall? They must have made a mistake.
Let's go, I want to go back to Xianyang now!"
Yi Xiaochuan immediately jumped off the ox cart. With a determined expression, he chose a direction and prepared to leave the convoy.
It was as if he could come and go at any time.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
This was ancient times, and no one would reason with you!
When they saw Yi Xiaochuan was about to leave in a frenzy, a few of the servants beside him immediately shouted,"
"Someone come quickly, someone is trying to escape!
Someone wants to refuse to obey the corvee. General, come and stop him. Someone wants to escape!”
Great Qin's laws were extremely strict, and it had always been a joint punishment system.
It was the same even if they were escorting corvee.
If they let Yi Xiaochuan escape, the group of laborers around the ox cart would be executed.
Because they knew and didn't report it.
The sound of the corvee immediately attracted a large number of black-armored Meng family soldiers.
Yi Xiaochuan did not even realize it.
They also did not know the cruelty of the corvee system.
Just as Yi Xiaochuan was about to step onto the small path to the side…
"How dare you! You're simply courting death!"
Pa!
The sound of horse hooves could be heard, followed by a black leather whip lashing at Yi Xiaochuan's body.
"Ah!"
Yi Xiaochuan let out a miserable cry. His voice carried a hint of stubbornness as he said,"
"Why did you hit me?"
"The corvee actually dared to escape. Shouldn't he be beaten?”
Pa, pa, pa.
The Meng Army's deputy general kept whipping Yi Xiaochuan with his black leather whip, causing him to scream and his skin to split open.
It made one's scalp go numb.
Great Qin's army was very strict, and anyone who was disrespectful would be whipped.
It could be seen from this point.
However, Yi Xiaochuan was a modern man who had never been whipped before. He rolled on the ground in pain.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me!"
Deputy General Pang snorted coldly and said,"
"Don't hit you? Just because you dare to escape the corvee without permission, I will kill you.
The laws of the Imperial Court will not do anything to me!”
"Ah!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vice General Pang brandished his blood-stained black whip and lashed it at Yi Xiaochuan's face. In an instant, Yi Xiaochuan let out a blood-curdling scream.
"Don't hit me, I'm not a slave!
Believe me, I'm really not a slave, I'm not a slave! Please believe me!
My name is Yi Xiaochuan."
Just now, Vice General Pang had whipped Yi Xiaochuan on half of his face, causing him to cry out in pain. It was a heart-wrenching pain.
Half of his face had already turned black.
The beating in society was too severe.
Xiaochuan expressed that he couldn't take it!
Upon seeing Yi Xiaochuan's miserable state, Deputy General Pang retracted the black leather whip in his hand. If this continued, if he was beaten to death, they would have one less person to work for the Great Wall.
"How dare you talk back to this general? This general wants to see if you're telling the truth.
Someone, bring me the registration bamboo slip!"
When the black-armored Meng Family Army soldiers surrounding Yi Xiaochuan heard the order, they hurriedly took out a roll of bamboo slips from behind and began to search.
He searched for the name Yi Xiaochuan.
"Milord, there's Yi Xiaochuan!
His native place was Pei County, and he was brought here by Pei County's chief, Liu Bang!
His name is on it!"
"What's impossible?"
Yi Xiaochuan was shocked."
"How could my name appear on the bamboo slips? This is impossible!
Liu Bang is my big brother!"
Deputy General Pang took the bamboo slip and took a look at the name on it. After thinking for a moment, he revealed a mocking expression and said,
"Big brother? If you really didn't come from Pei County.
That means your big brother sold you out.
Aren't you the same now?"
"Impossible. My big brother treats me like a brother. How could he sell me?”Yi Xiaochuan roared, his face red.
Pa!
"Ah!"
Deputy General Pang waved his whip."
"You really don't have a good memory!"
"If the corvee is short of people, people will die.
If I don't use you to fill in the numbers, then who will?
Not to mention your big brother, even your father might sell you out.
This general has seen many such things!"
"Big brother, big brother!"
Yi Xiaochuan was curled up on the ground by Vice General Pang's whip. One side of his face was stuck to the ground, and tears were already flowing down his face.
Why couldn't they believe this?
"He was really betrayed by Liu Bang!”
Deputy General Pang said to the two Black Armored Soldiers,"
"Pull him up and take him away!"
The two Black Armored Soldiers immediately dragged Yi Xiaochuan off the ground and towards the ox-cart.
It was as if he was dragging a corpse.
