Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 18 Sheriff Qin Ling
Before reaching the city gate, Xiang Bo saw a person waiting at the city gate, and he was a little puzzled.

When he got closer, Xiang Bo saw that it was Qin Tong, the county captain of Wu County, and he was overjoyed.

Although he knew that there must be a special reason, Qin Tong, the five hundred lords of the Qin State and a county captain who was born in the old Qin, would wait for him and others at the gate of the city, but he still couldn't help being a little excited.

Uncle Xiang looked at Xiang Yu at the side, and saw that he was expressionless and calm, so he knew that this must be in his expectation, so he asked, "Yu'er! You guessed that Qin Tonghui was at the gate of the city?" Where are you waiting for us?"

Xiang Yu nodded his head as an answer, and then said to Uncle Xiang: "When Yin Tong, the county magistrate, sent his third uncle and an unrelated person to pass the news, I guessed that Yin Tong must have sent Qin Tong to report to the county magistrate. , and my uncle and I sent someone to find out about this county sheriff! This person is the same as Yin Tong, both Confucianists! But this person is not protected like Yin Tong, but relying on his own truth Only Cai Shixue can take the position of Sheriff of Kuaiji County! If the Sheriff Qin Ling knows that we are going to offer wine, he will definitely want to see us!"

"Why are you so sure?" Uncle Xiang asked puzzled.Today's Xiang Bo is only 27 years old and has not yet been baptized. Although he is a bit resourceful, he seems a bit inferior to Xiang Yu because of his lack of experience.

"Little uncle! This Tan Ling must have been told by other uncles to you?!" Xiang Yu did not answer, and directly guided.

"Yes! The third brother once told me that Tan Ling is cautious by nature! When dealing with a case, unless the evidence is solid, he will not draw conclusions easily! And this person..." Xiang Bo said Xiang Le once said to himself Suddenly he thought of something and glanced at Xiang Yu.

At this time, Xiang Yu also looked at Uncle Xiang, and the two looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.

The laughter of the two made Xiang An quite puzzled by the important task of accompanying him, but even so, not many people asked about it, and they all did their jobs well.

Under Xiang Yu's guidance, Xiang Bo quickly showed his character of being good at dancing with long sleeves, and fought fiercely with Qin Tong.

After a while, Xiang Bo and Qin Tong became brothers.

"Brother! This envoy Tan is not looking for us to swallow up the merits of His Excellency Yin County Magistrate, is he?" Uncle Xiang showed a very worried look, which made Xiang Yu on the side laugh in his heart.

Xiang Yu knew that Uncle Xiang already understood that Qin Ling, the governor, just wanted to see if the person offering the wine had any evil intentions, and he also wanted to try the highly respected Huadiao and Zuixian wines for himself. As rumored.

Qin Tong looked at Uncle Xiang very worried, and he had a better impression of Xiang's family in his heart, so he said to Uncle Xiang: "My dear brother, don't worry! The envoy will not take credit with the county magistrate, after all, this is the county magistrate." Let part of the credit go to the envoy! And the envoy is an upright gentleman, and he would not do such a thing!"

After Xiang Bo listened, he showed an open and cheerful demeanor.This made Qin Tong very happy after he finished speaking. From now on, he can also solve problems for others like a county magistrate, and he is no longer that mindless martial artist.

A group of people went to an inn under the leadership of Qin Tong. Xiang Bo ordered Xiang An to arrange food and accommodation for everyone, and he and Xiang Yu went to the sheriff's mansion together.

Qu'a County Sheriff's Mansion.

This county guard's mansion was originally the mansion of an aristocrat from the state of Chu, but this person was killed when he organized people to resist the rule of the Qin army when the Qin army went south.Since his mansion was the largest in Qu'a, after the establishment of Kuaiji County, the county government was established in Qu'a, so Qin Ling used this mansion as the county guard's mansion.

At this time, Qin Ling, the prefect, and Che Nan, the lieutenant of Qu'a County, were waiting for Qin Tong.

Although Qin Ling didn't join any faction in the court, he was good friends with Dr. Shusun Tong, who belonged to Li Si's faction in the court. He had already known that Tan Ling would be transferred to Guilin, a barren land, to serve as the sheriff.

After Shusuntong learned about it, he notified Tan Ling as soon as possible, asking Tan Ling to find a way to make meritorious deeds to change his fate of being exiled in disguise.

When Yin Tongping sent Qin Tong to deliver the letter, Qin Ling saw the hope of making great contributions. Although he couldn't wait, he wanted to meet the people who offered wine because of caution, to see whether these people really wanted to offer wine or were they going to commit treason? thing.

While Tan Ling was thinking wildly, Qin Tong brought Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu in together.

Xiang Yu saw a very imposing person beside Tan Ling, and knew that this person was extraordinary, so he used his eyes of insight.

"Character: Zi Che Nan

Identity: Lieutenant of Qu'a County (force +1), Tie Ying Ruishi (force +3)

Force: 88 (79/79+9)

Age: 34
Abilities: Basic Swordsmanship (Proficient +2), Basic Spearmanship (Proficient +2), Basic Archery (Proficient +2)

Faction: Great Qin"

Xiang Yu was shocked after reading it, and he immediately looked at Tan Ling.

"Character: Qin Ling
Identity: Sheriff of Kuaiji County (force +3)

Force: 50 (45/45+5)

Age: 45
Abilities: Basic swordsmanship (proficient +2), power of debate (beginner, can guide some people with weak willpower to their own point of view), persuasion (beginner, can persuade some people)

Faction: Great Qin"

After reading Tan Ling's attribute table, Xiang Yu was puzzled. Originally thought that Qin Ling was a person with a special status to be protected by Tie Ying Rui Shi, but he didn't expect that Qin Ling was just an ordinary official!

At the same time Xiang Yu was using his eyes of insight, Zi Chenan was also looking at him, while Xiang Bo and Qin Tong bowed their hands to Qin Ling at the same time: "I have seen you, Your Majesty the Sheriff!"

Xiang Bo and Qin saluted together, and Xiang Yu couldn't avoid the custom, so naturally he saluted with the two of them.

Tan Ling sat in his seat and nodded, and said to Xiang Bo, Qin Tong, and Xiang Yu, "Sit down!"

"Thank you, sir!" The three thanked at the same time.

Xiang Bo knelt behind the cushion, then cupped his hands and said, "I don't know your magistrate, why did you let Xiaomin come here?"

"Nothing else, I just heard that the county magistrate of Yin said that someone was going to offer wine to His Majesty the Emperor! I just want to see what kind of person it is that has the courage to do this!" Although Tan Ling didn't say it clearly, both Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu He heard what Qin Ling meant.

In the state of Chu, even though it was ruled by the people of the state of Qin, most of them were dissatisfied with the rule of the state of Qin, because the state of Qin destroyed the state of Chu after deceiving the feelings of the people of the state of Chu. The practice is very complaining.

"The current Emperor's Majesty has achieved greater achievements than the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Why not wait for the people in Qianshou to offer wine? Although I am from Chu, I admire our Emperor very much." Xiang Bo also sang without conscience Qin Huang Yingzheng, although in Xiang Bo's heart he had great resentment and complaints towards the Qin people, he did not dare to speak out. Speaking out would certainly relieve his anger, but it would also disrupt his family's plans.
