Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 284 The Tragic Life Experience
"Injustice!"

Upon hearing this, Shentu immediately fell to the ground and shouted loudly.

You must know that the Qin Empire's treatment of corrupt officials was not ordinary. It would be fine if they were hidden and not discovered, but once they were determined not to die, they would be half disabled.

"Although I have been ordered to supervise the work without any achievements, I absolutely dare not do anything about being greedy for ink." Shentu said with a crying voice:

"I gave him clothes and meals for this boy, but he also has a blind mother. He gave his clothes to his mother, and shared the meals with his mother. That's why."

After hearing Shentu's defense, Ziying turned to look at the child in doubt.

"Xiaowa, this man is telling the truth." After a pause, Ziying continued: "Don't be afraid of him, answer truthfully, he will not dare to bully you with me."

However, Rao Ziying asked in a low voice as much as possible, but the child still kept his face stubborn and silent, just staring at everyone with somewhat hateful eyes.

In the eyes of this child, Ziying and the group of gorgeously dressed people who looked like aristocratic officials were not much different from Shentu who often flogged him for fun.

The child didn't say a word, and Shentu, who was about to lie on the ground, was extremely anxious.

"If this little ancestor doesn't say a word, isn't there no way to justify his crime of being greedy for ink? This is killing me."

Thinking of this, Shentu suddenly thought of another prisoner among the servants who often protected the child.

He knows the child's situation relatively well, so he should be able to testify for himself.

Immediately, like a drowning man catching a life-saving straw, he suddenly raised his head and said in a loud voice: "I have another witness, I have a witness."

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and yelled at the group of laborers who were watching the excitement not far away: "Li Laosan, come here quickly!"

Li Laosan, who was watching the excitement, although he didn't know how this matter came to him, but seeing Shentu lying there, that group of people must be ruthless people that he couldn't afford to offend.

He hurried over.

"Li Laosan, hurry up and tell your majesty about this kid's situation. You knew it when I gave him the clothes! I didn't deduct his daily food either!"

As soon as Li Laosan came over, Shentu immediately grabbed the corner of his clothes and said hastily.

This Li Laosan looked like a man in his thirties, and he looked relatively simple and honest, but his face was engraved with ink characters symbolizing prisoners just like this child.

Although he heard Shentu's request, he could tell that Shentu was nothing in front of these people.

She looked in Ziying's direction with slightly questioning eyes.

"Say!"

Ziying replied.

After getting Ziying's exact answer, the man named Li Laosan introduced the child's situation.

"Xiao Bu is a child from Zhao, and his father heard that he starved to death in the famine before he was born.

There was only one mother, who worked hard to bring him up by picking up some sundries and even begging.

It is said that her mother was once bullied by a rogue, and Xiao Bu just happened to find out, so she rushed up desperately, but was lifted to the wall by that person.

Then Xiao Bu picked up a piece of brick while the rogue was not paying attention, and hit him on the back of the head.

Coincidentally, he beat the rogue to death.

Later, the family members of the deceased reported to the officials, and after the county magistrate found out the reason, Xiaobu was sent to Xianyang because he was only sentenced to [-] years in prison because he was too young to urinate.

And his mother, worrying about Xiaobu, followed the escort team all the way to Xianyang by begging.

The lice picked on hungry households, but he didn't expect his mother to be seriously ill and blind soon after he arrived in Xianyang.

This made things worse for the mother and son. Originally, her mother came to take care of Xiao Bu, but now she became Xiao Bu's burden.

Xiao Bu is also a filial son, he was indeed given clothes when he was distributed, and he asked for a larger size, but he gave them to his mother when he returned home. "

Speaking of this, looking at Ziying's eyes with some doubts, Li Laosan explained: "The mother and son used to beg for a living and had no clothes at all. They were just wearing two linen cloths. The one approved was the bigger one that his mother used to wear.

As soon as the good clothes were distributed, Xiao Bu let his mother wear the good clothes and put on the hemp cloth himself. "

Hearing Li Laosan's explanation, Ziying couldn't help but soften his eyes when looking at the child.

"Go on," Ziying ordered.

"As for meals, Shentu really didn't cheat on Xiaobu, but we distributed meals according to his height. Although Xiaobu was 11 years old, he was poor since he was a child, and he looked like he was only eight or nine years old.

The meals he receives are also the least, and every time he receives meals, he has to take them back to eat with his mother. He must not be full, which is why he is so thin.

If it wasn't for his mother... Li Laosan was a little speechless here, and after thinking about it, he said meaningfully, her mother used some methods to earn some food from some servants, I am afraid that the mother and son would have died sooner or later. Already starved to death. "

After listening to Li Laosan's introduction, Ziying also had an understanding of the child's life experience. Although Shentu was not greedy for ink, he was still very disgusted with the servants' attitude of serving them with whips, and ordered An to drive him back to his hometown.

For this child, Ziying is indeed extremely compassionate.

Such a small child has suffered so much suffering, and his filial piety is greatly appreciated by Ziying.

"Where is his mother?" Ziying continued to ask.

"Because Xiaobu couldn't stay away before his sentence was over, her mother was in a grass nest next to the construction site." Li Laosan replied honestly.

However, when Ziying asked about his mother's whereabouts, the face of this rebellious child immediately changed.

Looking at Ziying very vigilantly, he said, "What do you want to do?"

He can bear anything for himself, but his mother is indeed the one he needs to protect.

"Take the orphan to your mother, I can give you a lot of food, you can't eat it all." Ziying said, after listening to Li Laosan's introduction, Ziying basically understood, what to say can arouse people's attention. The kid's attention.

Sure enough, after hearing Ziying's words, the child, who was originally wary, suddenly hesitated.

"You won't hit my mother?" asked cautiously.

"I will never hurt your mother."

"Can he speak well?" After saying this, the child looked at Li Laosan, who he trusted most among all the people.

Although Li Laosan didn't know Ziying's identity, he knew that Ziying must have a very high status.

Immediately, he touched the child's head and said: "This son's status is very important. He said he would give you food for you mother and child, and he will definitely give it to you. Hurry up and take this son over there."
