Xiao County.
"puff……"
Wang Ben sprayed all the water on Zhao Gao's face.
"..."
Zhao Gao humbly raised his hands to dry them, not daring to show any displeasure. As the saying goes, one level of official rank can kill anyone, and Wang Ben's title is ten levels higher than his. The Wang family is a powerful family in the Qin State's military, with great influence. In the Qin State, only the Feng family can compete with them.
"Is everything you said true?"
"Gao Wan would not dare to deceive Marquis Tongwu until he died."
Zhao Gao bowed and bowed.
Wang Benhu's eyes were as wide as a bell, and he shot out lightning-like shrewdness. Staring at Zhao Gao, it's not that he doesn't believe this guy, it's just that he needs time to digest it.
His father and the emperor have become young again? !
Although Wang Ben was shocked, he was actually a little happy.
His father's health has deteriorated day by day since he was granted the title of Marquis of Wucheng. At the beginning of the year, Wang Jian wrote a letter, hoping that his grandson Wang Li would inherit his title of Marquis of Wucheng. In recognition of his hard work and merit, the emperor agreed directly with a stroke of his pen and changed the name of Wuchenghou to Wucheng.
As for this eastward tour, Wang Jian's body could not support the long journey. However, due to the emperor's kindness, he personally went to Pinyang County to invite him, saying that Taishan Fengchan had the spirit of an emperor and might be able to prolong his life. With no other choice, Wang Jian could only force himself to follow.
It's good now. I'm eight years old again?
The emperor gained thirty years of his life in vain, but Wang Jian gained a full sixty years. Isn't this great news? Maybe even if he leaves in the future, his father will still be alive and well.
Why didn't he become a child again?
This incident was outrageous enough, but what was even more outrageous was the emperor's subsequent actions. He accidentally bumped into a rebel thief, and was mistaken by Zhao Xie for Dai Wangjia's son, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate the rebel thief.
Oh, I got it.
The emperor is crazy and wants to create a new Qin Dynasty!
This is a scam!
"Are there any arrangements for the follow-up?"
"I don't know Gao." Zhao Gao raised his hand again and whispered: "Marquis Tongwu can come to Pei County tomorrow, but please don't reveal the identities of your majesty and the old master."
"I know."
Wang Ben nodded calmly.
Naturally, he wanted to see such an important thing with his own eyes. After all, this is related to the future of Qin, and it is impossible to believe everything just because of Zhao Gao's few words.
"Now that Marquis Tongwu knows about it, Gao will retire first. Gao still has an imperial edict, so he needs to rush to Xianyang and inform Prime Minister You of the matter."
Zhao Gao raised his hand again as he spoke.
Wang Ben immediately waved his sleeves and asked his subordinates to send Zhao Gao away. He and Zhao Gao were not close and had little contact. Zhao Gao has some abilities, but he is still considered half of the royal family by Zhao Yuanshu. He is extremely smart and studious. But as the teacher of the young master Hu Hai, he is really unqualified.
Then, he stood up and prepared to clean up.
Now that the emperor has been found, there is no need to continue searching for Surabaya County. He didn't bother to hide his identity, so he planned to go directly to see Cao Xiu. Then ask him if he has seen the assassin, and test him by the way.
He heard that Cao Xiu caught a wanted criminal a few days ago. The man's name was Xi, and he was from Donghai County. He is now dead. Just in time, just use this as an excuse to get in touch and have a look.
"I've seen you, Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?"
"Young Master has sent a letter."
Wang Ben took the bamboo slip and frowned as he read it.
After a moment, he threw it aside. The news from Wang Li is simple. He and his eldest son Fusu have arrived in Xiangxian County. They have already contacted the county governor Ye Zhuang, and they plan to hide their identity and go to Peixian County first.
What a coincidence!
Wang Ben still values Fusu very much, after all, he is his son-in-law. Fusu was a tolerant man and had many good reputations in Xianyang. Later, he married his beloved daughter to Fusu, and the two treated each other as if they were guests, which was a good story.
In his opinion, it was a good thing that Fusu left Xianyang to go to Sishui County to find the emperor this time. This further demonstrates Fusu's filial piety, even disregarding the throne.
No one knew whether the emperor could be found at that time. Fusu is based in Xianyang, and with Feng Quji and Meng Yi assisting him, he can legitimately inherit the throne. Including Meng Yi, they also disapproved of Fusu coming to Surabaya County to help. Fortunately, the iron-headed kid ran out on his own.
"That's it!"
"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's up to him."
Wang Ben looked out the window and whispered to himself. He can actually send someone to inform Fusu now, but he also wants to teach this kid a lesson. Since Fusu has to come to Surabaya County, let him suffer and give him a surprise.
In fact, it was okay for them, but Fusu was embarrassed. His father, the First Emperor, was eight years old again. How embarrassing would it be for the father and son to meet each other?
No, he has to join in the fun!
…
…
Pei County, Cao Zhai.
Wang Jian couldn't help laughing.
You must know that Li Si never suffered a loss. He fought with all the scholars in the court, and one person made dozens of doctors speechless. At that time, a doctor, who was probably too old, fainted on the spot as his blood surged up from the spray.
Now it's better, Cao Xiu broke through the defense directly.
This guy can do it, he has a future!
Li Si gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Xiu, clenching his hands into fists. He was also addicted to hacking, and he wished he could stab that bastard Cao Xiu to death with a sword.
Can this be said in front of the emperor?
This is to kill him!
Can't you just turn off the lights and be sneaky?
Besides, he had no such idea at all!
"Um?" Cao Xiu watched the other party's guard being broken, and couldn't help but whisper, "Is it possible that I work for the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister still wants me to pay for it?"
"..."
"..."
Li Si's blood pressure immediately rose.
I felt dizzy for a moment and almost fainted.
In fact, Cao Xiu did this deliberately. He did this just to vent his anger on Azheng. Didn't you see that Azheng's face looked better?
"enough!"
Li Si was too lazy to continue talking about this topic.
After looking at the smiling emperor, he said helplessly: "Sell this corn however you want. In addition, I heard that the assassin is about to be found. In a few days, the price of food will naturally come down."
"Make a profit at the end?"
"..."
Li Si opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.
Now he just wants to behead Cao Xiu alive!
Fortunately, Cao'er came in with his servants at this time, and each exquisite delicacy was brought to the table, as well as two jars of carefully prepared wine.
Cao Xiu stood up and poured a cup of millet wine himself, "Li Gong, I brewed this wine with great care. Except for Pei County, you can't drink it anywhere else. In addition, we are in a hurry. If the reception is not good, I will ask Li Forgive me."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Si raised the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, his face looked better.
Yes, this millet wine is indeed fragrant!
Even the fine wine of the palace cannot compare with it.
When Qin Shihuang saw this, he also wanted to have a drink. Although he often drank secretly, the more he drank, the more he became greedy. As soon as he reached out his hand, he was interrupted by Cao Xiu.
"Azheng, why don't you listen to my advice? I told you that minors are not allowed to drink. Besides, this wine is not a good thing. It hurts the liver, do you understand?"
Li Si was dumbfounded while holding the wine bottle.
Cao Xiu...are you tired of living? !
