Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 238 Pull Fusu's Tiger Skin! (Second more)
Cao Shen nodded.

He said: "Perhaps what you said is right, I am a little too cautious."

"I hope Xiao He can return safely this time, and don't be targeted by Qin Ting, otherwise there will be troubles in the future."

At this time.

Lu Zhi walked in.

She put down the hot soup in her hand, and said with hot eyes: "What kind of trouble is this? Isn't it a good thing to be valued by the court? Just now you said that he is still the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. If Xiao He is really valued by the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, why don't he rise to the sky in one step in the future?"

Liu Ji snorted coldly: "What do you know as a woman?"

"No matter how close Fusu is to the people of Chu, he is still from Qin after all. Qin and Chu are different, and Xiao He is from Chu. Even if Fusu wants to entrust Xiao He with important responsibilities, you really think that he can be reused if he wants to be reused. Got it? Those Qin Ting officials will give up their seats?"

"Too natural."

"If everything in the world can go so smoothly, the state of Chu will not perish. This time, it's probably just for an assessment, but I don't know when I want to really reuse it. Moreover, once Xiao He shows too much talent, he will You will be watched by the people in Qin Ting, and that's when the real trouble will come."

Lu Zhi was dissatisfied and said: "You have already said that Fusu is the crown prince, and he is a crown prince, so he can't make the decision?"

Liu Jibai glanced at Lu Zhi, and said displeasedly: "We are talking, you don't want to interrupt, what's the matter with the prince? Isn't the prince a human? Back then, Lord Xinling was more powerful in Wei, and he was still the brother of the king of Wei. The result? Did he get pushed out? out."

"There's a lot of filth in the upper echelons of the government."

"It's not something you, a woman, can imagine."

Lu Zhi sneered, and said disdainfully: "As long as you know a lot, you'd better die outside when you go out this time, so as to save a day of making friends, I can be completely clean."

Liu Ji said angrily, "You shrew."

Just when the two couples were about to quarrel again, Cao Shen also hastily opened his mouth and interrupted the scolding battle between the two. He asked curiously: "Just now I heard from my sister-in-law that you want to go out, Brother Liu?"

Liu Ji nodded, and said with gloomy eyes: "The government just issued a notice asking me to escort a group of prisoners to Mount Li."

heard.

Cao Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked doubtfully, "Why haven't I heard about this?"

Lu Zhi's face softened slightly, and he said bitterly: "Is there any need to think about it? Naturally, it was sent directly by the county. A few years ago, he teased the officials of the county court in public. Now this person has been promoted to the county. Arrange errands for him when we go up.”

"In the past few years, on the way to escort the prisoners, there are quite a few prisoners who escaped."

Liu Ji's face was also a little ugly.

Although Lu Zhi's words were a bit harsh, his words were not harsh. In recent years, more and more people have fled during the apprenticeship. Even if he has some prestige in the local area, he may not be able to suppress him.

even.

He had already made up his mind to escape.

Although I thought so in my heart, there was another rhetoric in my mouth.

Liu Jidao: "This is a notice from the county. I'm just a pavilion chief, how can I refuse? But it's okay, Xiao He is going out to learn about the world's situation. This time, I will also go to Guanzhong, and I can also go to inquire about some news along the way. .”

"If Xiao He really thinks highly of Fu Su, maybe Xiao He and I can still meet in Xianyang."

"Haha."

Cao Can disagreed with Liu Ji's words.

Even if Liu Ji escaped this time, what about next time?The official that Liu Ji teased back then has now been promoted to the county. As the saying goes, a high-level official crushes people to death. Liu Ji is just a pavilion chief, and there is no room for resistance at all. The other party can suppress Liu Ji with a little trick You have to die.

Cao Shen said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Ji looked around, with hesitation in his eyes, and finally out of his trust in Cao Shen, he lowered his voice and said: "I actually thought about it, if there are prisoners running on the road, if they really can't be stopped, then Just don't stop it, at worst, you will follow the grass and become a bandit."

"Anyway, this pavilion chief can't continue to be."

"I don't want to be either."

There was a ruthless look in Liu Ji's eyes.

If he had hesitated before, but now that Xiao He is leaving Pei County, without Xiao He secretly helping him mediate, he simply cannot stop the official's calculations. Instead of being angry all the time, he might as well quit.

He is not affected by this bird.

heard.

Cao Shen's complexion changed slightly.

Liu Ji is the head of the pavilion, if he also escaped, it would be an added crime, and even if Xiao He wanted to intercede, he might not be able to turn around.

He persuaded: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, it must not be like this."

"The laws of Qin are strict. If you escape, not only will you be wanted by the court, but your whole family will also be killed."

Liu Ji was dissatisfied and said, "Then what else can I do?"

"As a jailer, you know the situation of prisoners better than I do. How could these people be willing to go to Lishan to build the emperor's cemetery? They will definitely run away. Even if I can catch them a few times, if these people are determined to run away , I can't finish it."

"And even if all the people are sent this time."

"What about next time?"

"Of course, I will still do what I have to do. I won't do it unless it is absolutely necessary. If this happens, I can't care about other things. I can't save my own life, so I can't care about other people."

Even though Lu Zhi was by his side, Liu Ji didn't shy away from it at all.

Only Lu Zhi's face turned dark.

If Cao Shen was not on the side, the bowl would have been smashed over.

Cao Shen also felt a headache.

Liu Ji is indeed in a dilemma right now, and there is indeed no way out. He really can't think of a solution to help Liu Ji solve the predicament in a short time.

a long time.

Cao Shen had no choice but to let out a long sigh, and cursed angrily, "What kind of world is this?"

"Qin law is illegal."

"Could it be that these villains can only be allowed to cause trouble?"

At this time.

Liu Ji turned his eyes around, and there was a strange expression in the corner of his eyes, he said in a concentrated voice: "Actually, if you want me to be safe and sound, there is actually a way."

"What way?" Cao Shen looked at Liu Ji curiously.

Liu Ji stroked his short beard under his chin, and said with a strange expression: "You said earlier that Xiao He received an order from the imperial court and was about to go to Lingnan, but the real content of the order may only be known to Xiao He, so... if the order allows Xiao He to take What about a companion?"

heard.

Cao Shen's eyes widened suddenly.

He looked at Liu Ji in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Liu Ji, do you know what you are talking about? This decree was issued by the imperial court, and the content on it is only for Brother Xiao. , if the imperial court finds out about it, it is a serious crime of beheading."

Liu Ji waved his hand, not paying attention at all, and said with a relaxed face: "It's not that serious, and the specific content of the order is known to those who have read the order. Even if the county magistrate asked Xiao He, would Xiao He say it word by word? come out?"

"I will only give a rough idea."

"So isn't there a chance to fish in troubled waters?"

"And it's not that serious."

Liu Jiman said indifferently: "I didn't ask Xiao He to usurp the imperial edict for me, but I just asked him to take me with him. In fact, this is just pulling a tiger's skin and borrowing some of the power of the prince."

"As long as Xiao He insists, he can bring a follower, and the prince agrees, even if there are opinions from the county, do you really dare to make things difficult?"

"Furthermore, Xiao He values ​​Fu Su at the moment. Even if these officials have a clear mind, why would they offend Xiao He because of me as a small pavilion chief?"

Hearing Liu Ji's explanation, Cao Shen was relieved.

He was really afraid that Liu Ji would make Xiao He do something against the order, which Liu Ji could do.

He thought about it in his mind, felt that it was indeed feasible, nodded and said: "This is indeed a solution, I will discuss it with Xiao He when I go back, but after all, Xiao He is handling political affairs for His Highness, you follow along."

Cao Shen showed a teasing look on his face.

Liu Ji straightened his bamboo crown, and said confidently: "I, Liu Ji, am also a pavilion chief. I have never dealt with major political affairs, but I have taken care of some trivial matters. As long as I don't make too many mistakes, basically nothing will happen. It's okay."

Liu Ji felt relieved about himself.

see.

Cao Shen also nodded.

He said: "Then I'll go back and talk to Xiao He first, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed in the end, but with your relationship with Xiao He, this matter shouldn't be difficult, but it's hard to say whether the county will make things difficult. You have to be mentally prepared for it.”

Liu Ji nodded and said optimistically: "Don't worry, there will be no complaints from the county. The county magistrate usually points to Xiao He to help with political affairs, and most of the county will turn a blind eye. As for the person I offended in the past , it’s just that you can talk to the county officials, how can those officials offend Xiao He because of this guy?”

"At least before Xiao He comes back, these people dare not offend."

Liu Ji saw clearly.

Now that Xiao He has pulled up the banner of Fusu, as long as Xiao He is still in the office of Fusu, no one in Sishui County will dare to really express dissatisfaction with Xiao He.

Cao Shen took a deep look at Liu Ji, and didn't stay any longer, he got up and left directly.

When Cao Shen was sent away, Lu Zhi took the pendant and threw it at Liu Ji. Liu Ji quickly dodged and cursed: "What a crazy woman, I'm going to divorce you sooner or later."

"Mike."

After a while of flying around, the husband and wife finally calmed down.

At this time, a simple and honest young man walked out of the shadows, looked at the scattered debris, as if he had long been accustomed to it, bent down, picked up the scattered debris in the house, and put them back in their original positions.

When everything is done, return to your own room.

Regarding Liu Fei's appearance and departure, Liu Ji and Lu Zhi didn't take it seriously. The husband and wife sat on one side and vented their anger in front of them. Lu Zhi's anger has dissipated a lot.

She looked at Liu Ji coldly, and asked, "You really want to go to Lingnan with Xiao He?"

Liu Ji snorted coldly, and was very displeased with Lu Zhi's questioning. He said dissatisfiedly: "I don't need you to tell me what to do? And leaving with Xiao He is indeed the best way at the moment, otherwise I'm afraid there will be only It's a way to turn grass into bandits."

"Does that mean that you can see the Great Qin Prince?" Lu Zhi looked a little excited.

What Lu Zhi was thinking, Liu Ji was clear in his heart, and said coldly: "That's natural. Not only can I see Fusu, but I can also help Fusu deal with political affairs. If I, Liu Ji, are valued by Fusu, then I will Follow me back to Xianyang, and when I, Liu Ji, really develops, I will definitely divorce you as soon as possible."

"Marry ten or eight more, that's the enjoyment of life."

heard.

Lu Zhi's face turned dark.

But this time she didn't shake Liu Ji's face, but held her temper and asked, "Why do you think this Fusu suddenly transferred Xiao Hezheng?"

"It's a bit unreasonable."

Liu Ji shook his head and said, "How do I know this? Maybe it's because Xiao He's annual assessment is very good, and he has a heart of love for talents, or someone in the court has taken a fancy to Xiao He and recommended him to Fusu, but this is not true. Do me a big favor."

"If it wasn't for Xiao He being valued by Fusu, I really don't know how to get out."

Liu Ji was also quite fortunate in his heart.

In fact, he had already prepared for the worst these days.

If it had been in the past, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, but during this period of time, when he communicated with the rangers around him, he also heard some news that the number of corvée conscripts in various places has been decreasing recently.

This invisibly reduced the local resentment towards Qin Ting a lot.

If the prisoner escaped while he was leading the team to Mount Li, then he might be forced to a dead end, and this dead end, under the current uncertain situation, is indeed like a dead end, so Liu Ji said Been hesitating for days.

Now that Xiao He received the order from the imperial court, the biggest worry in his heart was also resolved.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhi said: "If you go to Lingnan, be more disciplined. The officials there are not like local officials. If you offend those people, your career path will be cut off."

Liu Ji looked displeased, and said dissatisfied: "A mere pavilion chief, a small official in Douda, what is there to insist on, if you don't have it, you will be gone. You just talk about useless nonsense all day long."

Liu Ji complained again.

Lu Zhi was also not soft-spoken, and said coldly: "Aren't you boasting about yourself in front of people? Why? Now you are over 40, and you are still a pavilion chief? If Xiao He didn't speak for you from time to time, you might not be able to keep the pavilion chief. "

"What's wrong with Xiao He? Didn't I get to know you? This shows that I, Liu Ji, can judge people, and I can judge people accurately. I, Liu Ji, have someone to take care of me." Liu Ji looked smug.

talking.

Liu Ji's eyes were fixed.

Suddenly, there was a touch of whiteness in front of his eyes.

It turned out that when the two had a big fight just now, he unintentionally pulled back Lu Zhi's sleeves, revealing a piece of snow-white under his neck, seeing this, Liu Ji couldn't help feeling hot.

In the end, he couldn't help but walk over directly, hugged Lu Zhi and sat on the ground, without thinking about returning to the couch, just in the hall, while untying his belt, he muttered: "Wait for two days, I will I went to Lingnan with Xiao He, and I don’t know when I’ll be back, so I can’t take advantage of others.”

Not for a while.

There was a gentle sound in the house.

By the time the two of them left the hall in disheveled clothes, it was already completely dark.

Liu Ji was in a very happy mood.

Humming a ditty in his mouth from time to time, he looked very relaxed and happy.

The night is deep.

　The third update is estimated to be more than two o'clock, so let's get up tomorrow morning and watch it.
