Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 19 Poor Xu Cheng
After leaving Gai Nie's small courtyard, it was empty to go there again.

This time, Sima Shang was obviously determined to leave Handan, the center of the vortex, so he took the whole family with him on the road and rushed to Raoyang.

On the bumpy carriage, the little girl Sima Jingjing couldn't bear the fatigue of the journey and fell into a deep sleep.Ziying looked at the Mozi sword in his arms, which symbolized the status of the giant, and recalled the experience of the past three years, and was filled with emotion for a while.

Sima Shang obviously knew Gai Nie's decision a long time ago, as Gai Nie's confidant and the backbone of Mo Sect.Sima Shang obviously obeyed Gai Nie's decision unconditionally. When he came back that night and saw Ziying, he clasped his fists and saluted him, and said that he would obey the new giant's order. Obviously, assisting Ziying was also one of the last tasks Gai Nie left for him. one.

As for the other fellow traveler, Xu Cheng, Ziying simply ignored him.When this man came out of Handan, his nose seemed to grow into the sky, and everyone was inferior to him, even Sima Shang, who went to the post with him, was just a countryman in his eyes.

In the city of Handan, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, anyone who pops up at random will be higher in rank and higher in official position than him, so Xu Cheng can only behave like a man with his tail between his legs.

This time I will go to Raoyang to serve as Raoyang Junxiang, and the new Raoyang Junziying is just a baby, and Xu Cheng is not the one who has the final say when he gets there. It is completely like the existence of the emperor.

So along the way, for a while, he disliked that the frame was not comfortable enough, and for a while he was furious because the food was not tasty enough, tiring the servants who served him like dogs.

These servants who serve him are also from his family, and they also can't figure out why it seems like a different person for this master when he leaves Handan.

So along the way, Xu Cheng was more like the real Lord Raoyang, and Ziying and his party were more like his followers.

Ziying and Sima Shang didn't bother to have the same knowledge as him. In Sima Shang's mind, Xu Cheng was just like a clown.

But Ziying directly and silently sentenced Xu Cheng to death, and let him jump for two days first. It's the flames of war.

When Zhao Guozhong was too busy to take care of himself, Xiang Xu Chengjun, who only wanted to go to Raoyang to make a fortune, would be fine if he was sensible, but if he continued to jump around recklessly, it would be more normal for him to die in chaos.

Since Ziying had already received the appointment of King Zhao when he was in Handan, Ziying was already a veritable prince-Raoyang Lord after a group of people arrived in Raoyang.

Although Ziying has grown a lot in height in the past three years as if he had taken growth hormone, but fortunately he is still young and his face has not changed much.

Due to etiquette, mother Du Ling was unable to greet her far away and could only wait anxiously in Raoyang Jun's mansion. As soon as Ziying entered the gate of the Jun's mansion, the mother recognized her son. The mother and son hadn't seen each other for three years. Being held tightly in the arms of the mother, the mother and son were in tears, and they did not separate for a long time.

Looking at the crying mother with pear blossoms and rain, Ziying knew that it was not only because of his return, but more because of the death of his father, which made his mother suddenly less dependent. The mother who died and was worried about the safety of her son was finally relieved, so she finally burst into tears.

In fact, Du Ling is just a woman in her early 20s, and her mental age is not as old as her own.In today's society, girls of this age are generally still enjoying their college years and are still the apple of their parents' eyes, but their mother has experienced everything that shouldn't belong to her too early.

But in this era, after any war, sons cry for their fathers, mothers cry for their sons, and wives cry for their husbands. Every family wears white silk, and every household hears crying.

After comforting his mother, he had to clarify many relationships when he first arrived in Raoyang.

In order to prevent the troops he led from having friction with the Raoyang Qin army, Sima Shang directly led the troops to set up camp outside the city, except Sima Jingjing and Ziying who stayed in Raoyang Junfu.

The first trouble that came to Raoyang Jun's mansion was Xu Cheng, Rao Yangjun's prime minister who was stationed by King Zhao to monitor him.

"Mr. Raoyang, the king ordered me to go to Raoyang to assist you in commanding Raoyang's political affairs. May I ask where are the subordinate officials of Raoyang's government affairs and when can I hand over the government affairs to my subordinates?"

It was Han Tan who jumped out to answer Xu Cheng. "Xu Neishi, you are here. When we heard that Wang Shangpai Neishi condescended to come to Raoyang to handle internal affairs, the whole family was really happy." Han Tan's performance was similar to that of a young man who had suffered so much. Like a daughter-in-law, she spoke with as much enthusiasm and enthusiasm to Xu Cheng as she spoke, and felt tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke, and wiped away the tears.

Ziying took a look and said, I didn't realize that Han Tan is a talented person before. If he hadn't known that he was pretending, he would have felt a little cheated. Those who didn't know thought that Han Tan was looking forward to the stars and the moon. How long is Xu Cheng?

Xu Cheng, whose eyes were high above the top, and who had been fantasizing about getting promoted and getting rich, obviously didn't notice that the tearful little official in front of him who was holding his hand and moved by his arrival was the one who went to Handan to welcome Ziying. leader.

He was only interested in enjoying himself, and he didn't even notice that this follower disappeared halfway and returned to Raoyang ahead of schedule.

Wiping away his tears, Han Tan stared straight at Xu Cheng and said affectionately. "Thus Lord Raoyang has been seriously ill since he proclaimed himself in Raoyang, unable to do government affairs. The army under the emperor's jurisdiction is all brave men, but none of them can read.

The villain has been fortunate to serve the emperor on his left and right since he was a child. Although he is extremely dull, he has never given up on him and has entrusted him with great trust to manage the government for three years.

However, the villain has never studied. It is really difficult to understand the cost of money and food, taxes and rents, criminal names and laws, and it is difficult to record them alone. After finishing speaking, Han Tan suppressed his tears again, and shouted to the outside: "Bring it in, the villain has been waiting for the adults to come to Raoyang for a long time." "

Hearing this, Xu Cheng suddenly felt something was wrong.

I saw a total of dozens of sergeants outside in groups of two, each carrying a huge box, lined up and placed dozens of large boxes heavily in the courtyard.

When I opened it, I found that there were bundles of bamboo slips stacked together in each box.

Xu Cheng suddenly felt something was wrong. He walked forward quickly, picked up a roll, and unfolded it. There were no words in it at all, but abstract patterns and a bunch of ghostly symbols.

Xu Cheng turned his head and looked at Han Tan suspiciously.

"Xu Neishi, you also know that the villain can't read at all. Money, food, taxation, prison judgments and other things, the villain has to mark them in graphic mode, and I will wait for you to come and record them again." Han Tan said sincerely.

After listening to Han Tan's words, Xu Cheng's blood almost rushed to his throat. He resisted the urge to cut people down and continued to ask: "Is there no total amount for the rent income, the list of grain and grass allocated by Handan, and the remaining geometry?"

"Villains don't know how to count." Han Tan said shyly.
