Upon entering Lishan City, Ying Zheng was stunned.
At first glance.
Big!
Prosperous and lively.
When he was outside the city, looking at Lishan City, he felt like it was a dilapidated small city that could collapse at any moment. However, when he entered it, it felt completely different.
It was completely different.
The city was very clean and tidy, without any strange smell.
One had to know.
This was the Qin Dynasty.
At that time, it was common to urinate and defecate anywhere.
Mount Li had a population of hundreds of thousands. With such a huge population, even if only a small portion of them urinated and defecated everywhere, the place they went would be almost unbearably smelly.
But Lishan City did not.
The entire city was exceptionally clean and tidy.
The pedestrians on the streets seemed to have gotten used to it. Although there were many people in the city, it did not seem chaotic. Everything was in order, as if it had been planned out.
Each of them had their own duties.
Although Wang Ben was not good at internal affairs, he could tell that the people who were in charge of this city were very capable.
This made him less worried about Zhang Han.
after all
He would at least learn a little from reading, right?
"Let's go in and take a look." Ying Zheng took a few glances, then walked towards the center of the city.
It was just that he was getting more and more curious about Mount Li.
The security and living environment in Xianyang was not even as good as Mount Li. However, he could not say such words out loud.
After all.
No matter how bad Xianyang was, it was still the capital.
At Tian Zi's feet.
Wasn't saying it a slap to his face?
There were many cities in Lishan City, but most of them were ordinary houses. After all, it was impossible for all the hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Lishan City to live in the open.
It was already noon.
The sun was shining brightly.
However, Great Qin's spring was still quite cold.
The people coming and going in the city were basically the people near Lishan City. As for the prisoners and soldiers of Lishan who had been warned to come, they were still working in the mausoleum of Lishan.
Even so.
The city was still very lively.
In each city, there was an endless stream of people.
Ying Zheng brought Wang Ben and the others to visit a few nearby markets, but they found nothing, as they only sold common items.
For example, coarse cloth, millet, millet, and porcelain.
Ying Zheng was not surprised.
If Ying Che could sell the seasoning packets, wine yeast, and paper that he had made himself, he would have started to doubt his life.
Fortunately…
That did not happen.
He also felt a little regretful. Otherwise, he would not have been afraid that Ying Che would not have given in obediently if he had been caught red-handed. Now, he really needed to think about it.
While Ying Zheng was deep in thought, Wang Ben suddenly became excited.
"Mister Zhao."
"Look ahead, there's a noodle shop.”
"It says beef!"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and shifted his gaze over.
As expected.
Not far ahead, he saw a plaque with the words " Noodle Restaurant " written on it. At the entrance of the noodle restaurant was a wooden board with the words " Beef " written on it.
"How dare you."
"Don't these people know that Great Qin forbids the private sale of beef?”
"Killing and selling without permission is a serious crime!”
"Is this how Ying Che manages the company?"
"A small noodle shop in Lishan City is openly selling beef. Do they still have Qin Fa in their eyes?”
"How preposterous!"
Ying Zheng was truly enraged.
He could allow Ying Che to despise Qin Fa alone.
However, they could not allow a large group of people to look down on Qin Fa. If everyone in Great Qin did this, what would they do to Qin Fa?
In the long run, wouldn't Qin Fa become a joke?
Then how would Great Qin govern the country?
Wang Ben opened his mouth, but nothing came out of his mouth.
In the Qin Dynasty.
Killing cows was a serious crime.
It was even more serious than murder.
Under normal circumstances, he might be able to defend Ying Che.
After all, in Great Qin, if there were sick cows or old cows, they could be sold privately with the permission of the government.
But this was a shop.
In other words.
Beef was always coming in and out of this shop.
This could not be explained by a sick cow or a cow that died of old age.
And this shop was opened in Lishan City right under Ying Che's nose. Regardless of whether Ying Che knew about it or not, he had at least failed to supervise it.
Even worse.
There were so many people coming and going to Lishan every day, but not a single one chose to report the matter?
This explained the problem.
Wang Ben sighed,
Tenth Prince, oh Tenth Prince.
If His Majesty doesn't come, I can help you hide it.
But now that His Majesty has seen everything, there's nothing I can do. You're on your own.
Wang Ben glanced at the noodle shop and asked in a low voice,"Mister Zhao, I think there might be something else going on. Why don't we go in and ask? Perhaps there really was another reason?”
Ying Zheng gave Wang Ben a cold glance.
He said coldly,"
"Other reasons?"
"Then tell me, what is the reason?”
"Don't tell me that a cow on Mount Li dies a natural death every day? And every time the government auctioned it, it would coincidentally fall into the hands of this shop owner?”
Wang Ben was speechless.
This was indeed a little inexplicable.
Wang Ben said,
"Why don't we go in and ask?"
"Moreover, it's time for dinner. The location of this noodle shop is not bad, and there are many people coming and going every day.”
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The group of seven entered the noodle shop.
There were five or six square tables and ten wooden stools in the noodle shop.
Even though he didn't really understand what the design was, nor did he know what the item was, he still learned from the others in the shop and found an empty table and sat down.
The moment he sat down.
Wang Ben slammed the table.
He roared,
"Shopkeeper, give me half a catty of beef, two sides.”
"A bowl of hot soup!"
