"Brother misunderstood me."
Cao Xiu quickly stood up and waved.
"I'm not hoarding, but I'm in a hurry. I just moved to Pei County in the past, and it coincided with the years of war. The rich raised the price of food to 500 meters per stone. In the head of Guizhou, it was unspeakable, and they could only eat bark and grass roots. . Thousands of miles away, people are dying of hunger, and the land is covered with red soil. As far as you can see, Guizhou’s sons and daughters are being sold. Now there will be chaos in Dasuo Surabaya County!"
Mentioning this matter, Cao Xiu shed bitter tears.
At that time, the grain had just been planted, and it would take at least several months to harvest. As a result, there were natural disasters and wars, so that some hungry people in Guizhou went to eat the seedlings that had not yet grown in the fields. A handful of seedlings and a handful of tears were swallowed into the stomach.
"I did misunderstand you."
Only then did Cao Shen's tone soften.
Even though I have known Cao Xiu for many years, I still feel like I can't see through him. Cao Xiu is obviously a person who has no profit and cannot afford to be early, but he is willing to adopt orphans and homeless people. They spent their own money to build private schools and let them practice literature and martial arts. Cao Xiu may have cultivated them as dead soldiers, but there were some differences.
"Is Xiu'er doing this for fame or profit?"
"For the name, but also for the people."
"oh?"
Xiao He looked at Cao Xiu with interest.
He suddenly felt that Cao Xiu seemed to have grown up.
Is it possible that this kid is having sex with meat?
hiss……
Could it be Cao'er? !
He knew that sooner or later Cao Xiu would be unable to hold it in any longer. Thinking about it, Cao'er is getting more and more prosperous now, and he manages Cao's house in an orderly manner. According to Cao Xiu, Cao'er is his personal secretary. As the saying goes, if the secretary has something to do, it's fine...
"..."
Cao Xiu felt guilty when she saw Xiao He.
"Brother, please don't misunderstand me."
"What did I misunderstand?"
"..."
So, Xiao He and Cao Shen went back first.
Rice prices will skyrocket, and they have to deal with it in advance. This matter will definitely affect the governor of Sishui County. If Cao Xiu can solve this matter smoothly, he will definitely win the favor of the governor.
…
"Azheng, Jian!"
"Come to the study, there is an important combat mission!"
Cao Xiu shouted, causing all the yellow dogs in the courtyard to jump up. She turned her head blankly and found that it was Cao Xiuhou, and lazily lay down on the ground again.
Not long after, Qin Shihuang slowly walked to the study.
"What's the matter? There was a thief at home again?"
"I'm serious and I won't mess around with you."
"You said the same thing last time."
"..."
"When have you ever been serious?"
"..."
Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian sang in harmony.
In fact, Cao Xiu was not doing anything right on weekdays. He didn't stand or sit down. Just because I wanted convenience and didn't want to kneel down, I made an object like a chair.
Yesterday, he said there was something good going on. Qin Shihuang hurried over and saw Cao Xiu suspended in mid-air with her hair hanging upside down. Seeing this scene, Qin Shihuang was almost frightened. Even though he was very brave, he had never seen such a ghostly scene. Wang Jian was not afraid, he just drew his sword to kill the evil spirit Cao Xiu.
Then... the straw rope hanging on Cao Xiu's back broke.
Is this tnd something that humans can do?
No wonder the dogs in the village stopped barking when Cao Xiu went out.
"Cough cough cough!"
Cao Xiu showed embarrassment and said with great seriousness: "As the saying goes, you can't keep the things of yesterday. Being too attached to the past will only increase your troubles. Let us be companions in the world of mortals and eat in vain. Let's ride horses and share the world. tasty."
"You said a lot, but I was so stunned that I didn't understand."
"Cough cough cough!"
Cao Xiu suddenly felt extremely empty, lonely and cold.
"Getting back to the subject, I'll keep the story short." Cao Xiu looked at the two of them and whispered: "A few days ago, the First Emperor was attacked by assassins in Langya County, so he retreated back to Xianyang. He left behind Li Si, Wang Ben and other nobles in the court, Che Check for assassins.”
"Just know."
Qin Shihuang seemed very calm.
He and Wang Jian had discussed it long ago, and this matter was obviously a cover. He said he was looking for assassins, but in fact he must have come to find them. Just to avoid suspicion from outsiders, I made this excuse.
"The assassin was really cunning. He later fled to Dongwu County, and with the help of the magistrate of Dongwu County, he ran away again. My sworn brother said that Surabaya County had obtained a document written by Li Si and sealed all the passes in Surabaya County in order to capture the assassin. ."
"Tobu County...magistrate?!"
Qin Shihuang slammed the table and stood up.
He still remembers this animal very well!
At that time, he and Wang Jian lived in Dongwu County. Fortunately, the black bird jade talisman he wore close to his body was still there. So I went directly to the Tobu County Temple, no matter what, I contacted Li Si and the others first. Who would have expected that the Dongwu County Magistrate would actually take advantage of the wealth, snatch the jade talisman away, and then drive them away!
Since he ascended the throne, when has he been so angry?
"Damn it, do you still know the magistrate of Dongwu County?"
"Ahem, it does have something to do with it."
"That's no wonder. I guess Magistrate Towu's identity has been exposed. He is really miserable. I heard that his whole family was trapped and killed, and even the family dog was not spared."
"Um?!"
Qin Shihuang frowned and looked at Wang Jian.
They all realized something was wrong.
First of all, the assassin is simply fake. Then the reason why Li Si killed the magistrate of Dongwu County was not because he colluded with the assassins, but because he found the black bird jade talisman.
If he is Li Si, he must find out the person holding it based on the jade talisman. No matter who it is, you have to dig three feet into the ground to find it. Now that Sishui County is sealed, it means that their whereabouts are found within Sishui County.
Li Si has outstanding abilities and must be able to think of these things. If even this can't be found out, the Prime Minister doesn't have to do anything.
"Then what?"
"Dasuo Surabaya County, this is going to be troublesome!" Cao Xiuchang sighed, "If we are found here, wouldn't we be doomed?"
"Forehead……"
It would be a good thing if we really wanted to track down Pei County!
"Of course, this possibility is very small. Besides, I have many people to protect me. If it doesn't work, I can run away and become the king of the mountains and the bandit of the grass. There is also a disadvantage. Dasuo Surabaya County will definitely cause the local food price to skyrocket. , the latest is tomorrow.”
"indeed."
Qin Shihuang nodded clearly, and then his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Is it possible that you plan to use this to hoard food prices to raise the price, and then make a fortune?!"
"Damn, am I this kind of person?!"
"yes!"
Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian nodded firmly at the same time.
Cao Xiu looked at the two of them and sighed, "So, I am so unbearable in your hearts?"
"That's not true."
"Um?"
"It's a hundred times worse than this, no, ten thousand times!"
Damn, we can’t talk today!
Cao Xiu suppressed his anger.
He has to be a good teacher and not punish his students corporally!
"Perhaps you misjudged me, Cao Xiu, yesterday, and you misjudged me again today, and you may misjudge me again in the future, but I am still me. I have always made money for whomever I have, and I will not collude with those businessmen. "
"Well, you should be the richest person in Pei County."
"..."
"Depend on!!!!"
