Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 256 Liu Bang's Whereabouts
However, Ziying knew that although Cao Shen had a certain gap with Xiao He in terms of internal affairs, he was still a talented person capable of both literature and martial arts.

After Xiao He succeeded as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he left behind the allusions of Xiao Gui and Cao Sui.

In addition to killing Liu Bang this time in Pei County, these two people are also one of Ziying's most important goals.

"I don't know if Cao Yuban intends to help Yu Gu?" Ziying asked eagerly.

With Xiao He's previous precedent, although everyone was still very surprised by Ziying's sudden opening this time, they were not as shocked as before.

After all, the official positions of Babaishi were all casually promised, and I am afraid that no one would be so capricious except the King of Zhen.

Cao Shen's appreciation for Ziying was naturally inexplicable. Just now Xiao He was entrusted with an important task by the king of the town. To be honest, he was also a little envious, but he did have self-knowledge. is far inferior.

Moreover, among the dozen or so people sitting in this room, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am the lowest among them.

Never thought that King Zhen would look at him differently.

"Cao Shen is willing to follow the king of the town to share the worries of the lord!" Cao Shen did not wait for Ziying to say more, and immediately gave a big gift to express his attachment.

Cao Shen simply joined, and Ziying was also convinced. With Xiao He and Cao Shen, he finally had two talents who could be alone under his command.

Being able to subdue Xiao He and Cao Can so smoothly, Ziying also felt a little pleasantly surprised.

In fact, this is also thanks to Ziying's identity. If the unification is underway today, there is no sense of family. Being an official in Pei County is also an official of the Great Qin, and being an official in the King's Mansion is also an official of the Great Qin. There is no need to change the family. concept.

If you want to poach two talents from others in a troubled world where each is the master, wouldn't it be easy to do it?

Xiao He also felt very happy that Ziying was able to take a fancy to Cao Shen. Cao Shen was originally the most capable general under his command. Originally, he planned to recommend Cao Shen to Ziying after the banquet was over.

"How lucky is Ziying to have Cao Qing's help!" Ziying clapped his hands, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Cao Qing joined the army for the Gufu, and I hope Cao Qing will not be disgusted."

"Cao Shen thanked the lord for his great love, and will repay the king's kindness with all his brains." Cao Shen knocked his head heavily on the ground, and said gratefully.

When He Huan heard Ziying's appointment, his expression twitched again.

Well, now it's not just Xiao He, this Cao Shen can also sit on an equal footing with him.

I am a county magistrate with a rank ratio of [-] shi, and the rank of the prince's army is also [-] shi.

"You continue to introduce." Cao Shen's business was over, Ziying waved his hand lightly, signaling He Huan to continue introducing.

It's just that the next introduction to Ziying was a little absent-minded, just a nod for entertainment.

After all, as far as I know, Xiao He and Cao Shen should be the only heroes in the early Han Dynasty who served in the county government.

However, everyone here really didn't know what Ziying was thinking, and Xiao He and Cao Shen's one-step ascension to the sky had greatly stimulated everyone's emotions.

Whenever He Huan introduced himself, these people wished they could raise their waist by three inches.

They all left their most heroic side to King Zhen.

After all, the examples of Xiao He and Cao Shen are in front of them. If the king of the town takes a fancy to him, wouldn't he become a superior person all of a sudden.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Ziying did not "recognize talent" again until He Huan's introduction.

This disappointed everyone who had been waiting for it.

After the introduction, the banquet officially began, but because of Xiao He and Cao Can, this banquet specially held for Ziying became a bit dull.

After all, he was originally his subordinate, but he suddenly overrode himself, and no one would be comfortable with a sudden change.

No matter how you treat it for a while, you can't change it.

A dinner party ended in such an atmosphere, and each went home after the party.

Early the next morning, Xiao He and Cao Can went to Ziying's residence to thank Ziying and ask for instructions.

After all, although the two can be regarded as official officials of the Qin Dynasty, they are more similar to Ziying's status as retainers.

Ziying invited the two of them into the house, and they had just chatted for a while.Then I heard the report from the guard outside the house: "He Huan, the county magistrate, asks to see you."

"Please."

"He Huan, the county magistrate of Pei County, has seen the king of the town." As soon as He Huan came in, he found Xiao He and Cao Shen were both there, so it was not too strange, and he saluted respectfully.

As the county magistrate of Pei County, the king of Zhen lived here, so he naturally had to report every day to see what instructions he had.

"Sit down." Ziying happened to want to ask Peiling about Liu Bang, so He Huan came at the right time.

He Huan hurriedly gathered his garment and knelt aside.

"I don't know if the county magistrate has ever heard of Liu Bang?" Ziying asked lightly.

As soon as the words came out, He Huan, who was kneeling below, immediately changed his face.

Then he ran to the middle of the main room and kowtowed and said: "The king of the town forgives the sin."

Judging by He Huan's actions, Ziying didn't know that there must be some problems with Liu Bangna, and I'm afraid these problems are inseparable from He Huan.

And He Huan's heart was even more frightened and inexplicable, he came here for whatever he was afraid of, it seems that King Zhen really heard some rumors, so he came here specially for this matter.

Otherwise, how could King Zhen say Liu Bang's name as soon as he opened his mouth.

If it was yesterday, He Huan still had the guts to hide a thing or two, but now Ziying has Xiao He and Cao Can by his side, and these two are now the retainers of the king of Zhen, so naturally they will not continue to help him hide it.

As for whether it was Xiao He and Cao Shen's complaint, He Huan really had no doubts, not to mention that based on his own understanding, the two of them should not have done such a backbiting thing.

And as soon as I heard that the two came to visit the king of the town, I immediately followed after I got the news, and the two didn't have time to tell the truth.

Seeing He Huan kowtow in shock, Ziying aimed his gaze in Xiao He's direction.

If I remember well, Xiao He should have known this Liu Bang at this moment.

Xiao He understood Ziying's meaning and immediately cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the Liu Bang you mentioned should not be in Pei County for a while."

"Can you tell me in detail?" Ziying asked immediately.

Where would Liu Bang be if he wasn't in Pei County?

"Liu Bang is indeed a native of Pei County. He doesn't care about his family's production and work, and he always loves to talk big. He rarely does anything, and the village dislikes him." Xiao He said [-]:

"However, last year the single father, Mr. Lu, avoided his enmity in Pei County. Because of the friendship between Mr. Lu and the magistrate of He County, all the heroes and officials in Peizhong went to congratulate him, and Liu Ji also went to him. He didn't bring any money. He said: "With ten thousand dollars Congratulations. Such a trip is very much in line with Lu Gong's intentions. Not only did he not think it was evil, but he married his daughter to Liu Ji."
