"That's right, Young Master, this…this is the truth!”
Xia Houying and Fan Kuai said hurriedly.
As for Xiao He, he was extremely disappointed.
He had misjudged her!
"Didn't Liu Bang say it just now? If anyone dares to lie to me, give me their dog head. Zhang Han, I don't need to tell you what to do, right?”
Zhao Tian immediately said.
As a superior, he had to be reasonable in his actions.
This was also why the wise emperors of the past, even if they were angry with their officials, would not directly use a knife most of the time.
Even if they did, there had to be a reason.
It was to block the endless mouth of the heavens.
To put it bluntly, the character setting could not be broken.
Who would be willing to use the name of a tyrant on themselves?
Fan Kuai, Xiahou Ying, and Xiao He knew that Liu Bang would be dead for sure.
Although they were already very dissatisfied with Liu Bang.
However, they had been brothers for many years, so they still felt a little sad when they knew that Liu Bang was going to be killed.
However, what Zhao Tian wanted to do was not over yet.
"Xiao He, do you know your crimes?"
Xiao He sighed.
He knew that what should come would come.
The Thirteenth Young Master was so wise that he naturally found out what he had done for Liu Bang in the past.
However, Xiao He was a smart person.
He immediately knelt down.
"Young Master, I know my sins!"
Zhao Tian looked deeply at Xiao He.
He was very satisfied with Xiao He's wit.
"Then tell me what crime you have committed.”
Xiao He immediately kowtowed.
"Once, Liu Bang was ordered to escort a group of prisoners to Mount Li to repair the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.”
"At that time, Liu Bang was unable to chase after them, nor could he suppress them. When they reached Feng Village, Liu Bang simply untied all the prisoners and let them escape.”
"And he himself, along with a dozen or so prisoners who were determined to follow him to the death, fled to the Mang and Dang Mountains to hide and seek refuge.”
"When the Pei County Magistrate found out about it, he arrested Liu Bang's wife, Lu Zhi, and imprisoned her. At that time, it was me…under my protection that she was released from prison.”
"Moreover, Liu Bang has committed many crimes in the past. It was because I used my connections that he was not in danger.”
"Young Master, I know my sins. Please punish me!”
Xiao He kowtowed again.
Zhao Tian laughed.
Xiao He knew the situation, which made him very satisfied.
However…
"Are you sure that you were the only one who protected Lu Zhi?”
Xiao He's heart skipped a beat.
He sighed in his heart. The young master was unparalleled in the world. Everything was under control.
His own thoughts really couldn't be brought up to the Young Master's face.
"And Cao Can."
"Men, bring Cao Can here!”
The Black Tiger Army was naturally swift and decisive.
In just a few moments, Cao Can was escorted up.
Zhao Tian sized up this famous Han Dynasty man with interest.
It had to be said that Cao Can looked quite brave, even though he was only a prison official in Pei County.
However, this guy's strength was still very strong.
In the first year of Qin II, Cao Can participated in the uprising in Pei County.
He had been through hundreds of battles, rebelling against Qin and destroying Chu, and had repeatedly made military achievements. He had also taken down two countries and 122 counties.
After Liu Bang settled the capital in Chang 'an, he rewarded Cao Can according to his achievements. Cao Can ranked second and was given the title of Marquis Pingyang.
He was the second prime minister of the Han Dynasty and was known as "Prime Minister Cao" in history.
Zhao Tian naturally would not waste such a capable person's talent.
Zhao Tian glanced at Xiao He. His meaning was very simple. Xiao He naturally understood, so he told Cao Can everything that had happened.
Cao Can's expression changed drastically.
"So that's the case. Young Master, I know my mistake!”
Zhao Tian's fingers gently tapped the table.
"According to the law, your actions should be severely punished. However, according to the investigation of the secret guards, Cao Can and Xiao He have a good reputation in Pei County and can be considered good officials.”
"I don't kill the innocent. I'm willing to give a chance to talented people.”
Cao Can and Xiao He looked at each other. After the shock, their faces were filled with surprise.
He thought that he would not be able to escape from prison this time.
He did not expect that there would be such a twist.
The Thirteenth Young Master was so magnanimous!
"Thank you for your kindness, Thirteenth Young Master. We are willing to serve you!”
The two of them quickly kowtowed.
Zhao Tian was satisfied.
These two famous people of the early Han Dynasty were now in his hands.
"Alright, then this Young Master will give you a chance to atone for your sins. Now, I will appoint Xiao He as the county magistrate of Pei County and Cao Can as the county magistrate of Pei County. Together with this Young Master, we will deal with the drought.”
Cao Can and Xiao He were stunned.
He had thought that even if the Thirteenth Young Master gave him a chance, he would only be doing his part.
However, they did not expect that the Thirteenth Young Master would actually bestow such a great favor on them.
County magistrate?
County magistrate?
This…
It was something they could never imagine.
Moreover, if he could follow the Thirteenth Young Master in the future, it would definitely be a great opportunity.
"Thank you for your kindness, Thirteenth Young Master.”
"We will definitely do our best for the Thirteenth Young Master!”
