Da Qin: Mythology and Immortal Cultivation, Starting with the Lu Sisters

Chapter 31: Anyone who commits fraud should be punished according to law!
the next day.

Gao Yao slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and found that there was only himself and Yi Xiaochuan in front of him.

And Liu Ji, the eldest brother Yi Xiaochuan said, had gone somewhere.

Last night, the other party drank so hard that he was now dizzy.

"Xiao Chuan?"

Gao Yao thought about waking up Yi Xiaochuan, but as soon as he stood up, he fell directly to the ground.

He looked down and saw that his wrists were bound by hemp ropes.

There are still shackles on both feet.

This moment made Gao Yao a little more energetic. He looked at Yi Xiaochuan, who was also shackled, and even restrained him a few more times than him.

"Xiaochuan, wake up!"

Gao Yao got anxious and kicked Yi Xiaochuan directly.

"What's wrong!?"

Yi Xiaochuan was still dazed and didn't realize what was going on.

However, when he opened his eyes and saw that Gao Yao's hands and feet were bound, he became more energetic.

"This……"

He looked down at himself and saw that he was also restrained, just like the corvées.

What's going on? Didn't they drink here last night? Who put the shackles on them?

"Big brother!"

"Brother, are you there? We are being tied up, come and save us!"

Yi Xiaochuan shouted loudly, trying to lure Liu Ji over.

He hasn't thought about who is behind this.

"Yes, yes, the remaining two corvées are inside."

At this moment, Liu Ji's familiar voice came from outside the door.

"One is going to be an official slave, and the other is going to build the Great Wall."

Gao Yao still didn't understand what happened.

Where is the corvée here?

He is just a cook, so what bad intentions can he have?

When Yi Xiaochuan heard Liu Ji's voice, he quickly shouted:

"Brother, brother, we don't have any corvee here. Some bastard has locked us up here. Come and save us!"

Although he heard what Liu Ji said, Yi Xiaochuan did not regard him as the bastard he scolded and wanted him to save them.

However, Liu Ji didn't seem to hear him and left directly.

The door banged and was kicked open.

A group of soldiers wearing armor directly targeted Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan and wanted to arrest them.

"No, what are you arresting us for? We are not corvees!"

When Gao Yao saw this, he shouted and tried to resist.

Yi Xiaochuan also wanted to resist and did not want to be caught by these soldiers.

"Idiot, there are only two of you here, and you are still wearing shackles. If you are not the corvee, who else can you be?"

The soldier snorted coldly and directly called his men, "Take them away!"

Although Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan resisted, it was of no avail and were taken away directly.

After the two of them were escorted away along with many corvees, Liu Jicai walked out of the house.

A cruel smile appeared on his face, and he said coldly: "I should never see you two again in this life."

Becoming an official slave and building the Great Wall were both highly fatal.

Liu Ji didn't think that these two guys would come back alive.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong. Either Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan would die, or he would just lose his head.

Obviously, he must choose to live by himself!

According to normal circumstances, Gao Yao was assigned to the official slave camp and was brutally beaten.

Then, when he voluntarily works as a cook in the palace, he will be castrated by the medical officer and become a eunuch...

And Yi Xiaochuan was sent to the north, preparing to build the Great Wall in the desert.

"Do you think you're smart?"

Just when Liu Ji was about to have a meal at the hotel, a young man wearing white brocade clothes appeared in front of him.Zhao Chen looked at Liu Ji calmly and said: "Yi Xiaochuan recognizes you as his eldest brother. You, the eldest brother, are quite capable. He sent him to build the Great Wall, and he could not escape death. But Gao Yao never messed with you, but you sent him away Go to the official slave camp and become that official slave."

Liu Ji was also shocked when he found out that he was the owner of the Black Dragon Chariot who looked familiar to him. He was the young master who married off the two ladies from the Lu family.

Why is the other party here? I heard what he just said.

The most important thing is that he seems to know Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao.

Otherwise, why would you stand up and say such things?

"Master Zhao, you misunderstood."

Liu Ji was still very thick-skinned. After being startled, he quickly defended:
"Those two people were originally working as corvees. It's none of my business whether they go to the official slave camp or to build the Great Wall. I just sent them here, that's enough!"

He secretly thought to himself that he would definitely be able to get away with it this way.

Seeing that Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao were both tricked by him, they probably haven't realized what happened yet.

The young master Zhao in front of him was of high status, but he looked too young, so he should be able to fool him.

As long as he was fooled, he would leave Xianyang directly.

Anyway, don't try to hold him responsible.

"Ha ha."

Zhao Chen chuckled, clapped his hands and said, "Generally speaking, you can definitely fool someone like this."

"But who made you meet me?"

The next moment, more than ten people appeared behind.

"Bold!"

I saw the Xianyang County lieutenant and the defenders immediately surrounding Liu Ji.

Before the opponent could react, two soldiers restrained him.

"You, Liu Ji, the chief of the Sishui pavilion, dare to commit fraud. You deserve to be punished by death and be executed according to law!"

In this case, Liu Ji was so frightened that his legs became weak.

He thought it was only Zhao Chen, so he could just fool him like that.

But, who knew that the other party would send such a garrison team.

The person who pointed at him and scolded him seemed to be an official!
"My lord, I am unjustly accused. I would never dare to commit fraud. Those two people are indeed corvees!"

Liu Ji was very frightened and spoke quickly, fearing that he would not be given a chance to defend himself.

He thought just now that he finally didn't have to worry about losing his head, but now he found that it had happened again.

If you can't get past this, you will definitely lose your head.

"Then do you know where Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan are from?"

The Xianyang County Lieutenant snorted coldly and asked.

Even if Zhao Chen, the Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty, was not present, he could still tell that Liu Ji was lying.

It is impossible for Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan to be corvees.

There are no traces of long-term shackles on the wrists and ankles.

This kind of person is either becoming a corvee for the first time, or is taking the lead when there is a lack of corvee work!

Now the Xianyang county lieutenant came to question Liu Ji. Since the other party said that Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan were corvees, they were from Pei County.

What is the specific identity?

You know, these corvées are all registered.

Although the Great Qin Empire had extensive corvee recruitment, it was not just randomly grabbing anyone and becoming a corvee.

Generally speaking, these corvees were prisoners who had violated the laws of the Qin Dynasty and were imprisoned.

Even those who become corvees for the first time will still be registered.

Top bag situations often occur.

If this is taken seriously, we can definitely find problems from it.

However, it is usually ignored. If the number of corvees is not wrong, then there is no big problem.

It's just...

The Xianyang County Lieutenant sneered in his heart. This ruffian probably hadn't thought about what kind of people he had offended.

Surabaya pavilion chief?

Fooling, definitely don’t try to fool him!
