Age of Empires: Beginning Reincarnation as Prince of Qin

Chapter 219 Chaos.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant, these two people can be said to have mixed regrets in their hearts.He hated himself for not chopping off Zhang Ran's head with a single knife, and then brought Zhang Ran's head to see Xiang Yu.

However, there are all kinds of medicines sold in this world, but there is no regret medicine.

Now, it's too late to regret that.

Now Zhang Ran has finished talking about what he and Xiang Yu and Li You did.

After hearing these words, Xiang Yu was furious, his eyes widened, wishing he could swallow the two of them alive!
Seeing Xiang Yu's current appearance, the county magistrate and county lieutenant were scared out of their wits.

The county seat and the county lieutenant thought to themselves, what does this feather want to do, it is possible that it will eat us!

At this time, the county magistrate seemed to have no choice.Xiang Yu is good at fooling, but Xiang Yu's military adviser is not easy to fool!

"Military division, let me tell you that none of the officials in Xiapi City is a good person!"

"Let's just kill all these people!" Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged!"

Hearing that Xiang Yu was going to kill the two of them, the county magistrate and magistrate fell to their knees on the ground, not daring to make any more excuses, crying and begging.

"Don't make any noise, or you will be cut off!" Xiang Yu scolded viciously.

Xiang Yu originally thought that the two people who took the initiative to take refuge in him should not be said to be honest officials, he should not be a corrupt official!

Originally, Xiang Yu wanted to show off with Li You, and told Li You that someone had heard of his name and came to join him.

Now, after Xiang Yu knew that the county magistrate and county magistrate were not good guys either.When it came to his lips, he couldn't say it.

Xiang Yu had the best face, and he felt that his face was more or less unbearable. The county magistrate and county lieutenant had no chance of surviving.

Now, Xiang Yu really wanted to take the lives of these two people, but he was still waiting for Li You's reply.

As long as Li You said a few words of agreement with him, he would behead the two of them immediately.

Although Xiang Yu is a reckless man, Li You is not a reckless man.

Regarding Xiang Yu's words, Li You smiled, and Li You understood that Xiang Yu was speaking in anger.

This Xiapi City was the first city Xiang Yu occupied, and it was also Xiang Yu's base.If all the officials in Xiapi city were killed indiscriminately, then Xiapi city would be in chaos.

Xiang Yu's men, except for Li You, are all warriors.You can let them fight wars, but let them govern the place, that is to play the piano against the cow.

If he really killed a group of officials in Xiapi City, Li You couldn't manage the place by himself even if he had the ability to separate himself.

Therefore, Li You shared that he could not kill the officials in Picheng, and even had to continue to reuse them.Moreover, for some officials whose corruption is not serious, they have to be pardoned and continue to use them.

"Overlord, this city of Xiapi is now our territory, so don't let it kill you!"

"As for those people who are very corrupt, it is natural to kill them to deter the corrupt officialdom in Xiapi City!"

"However, we still have to continue to use some officials who have never been corrupted, or who are not seriously corrupted!"

"Overlord, we will never be soft on those who are seriously corrupt. However, we can't punish those who are not corrupt at will! In particular, we must not be convicted for words!" Li You persuaded earnestly.

Who did Li You persuade these words for? It was Zhang Ran who persuaded him.Li You thought that Zhang Ran was a talented person, so naturally he couldn't just watch Zhang Ran being sent to the execution ground!

What Li You said was telling Xiang Yu.You can't execute Zhang Ran just because he scolded you a few words!

Now is not the era when pigtails are stuck on the head, there is no literary inquisition, let alone being kicked out just because of a few words of swearing.

Xiang Yu didn't know whether he was sure that Zhang Ran would embezzle, or what, but this time he agreed very readily.

"What the military adviser said is reasonable, I will listen to the military adviser!" Xiang Yu nodded repeatedly in agreement!
A gentleman's words are hard to follow, let alone Xiang Yu, the overlord, speaks, which is even more saliva and nails.

Now that Xiang Yu agreed to Li You's request, for the time being, Zhang Ran's life was saved.

As long as the truth is found out in the end and Zhang Ran has not been corrupted, then Xiang Yu has no reason to touch him.At that time, Li You's merits and virtues will be considered complete, and his life will be saved!
"Come on, lead the army to surround the mansion of these three people. I can't let a mouse or a fly go!" Xiang Yu immediately sent an order.

As soon as Xiang Yu gave an order, his confidantes began to assemble, and in a blink of an eye, three teams of a hundred people gathered.

The three centurions responsible for raiding the house were all selected from Xiang Yu's [-] disciples.They are all the most loyal people to Xiang Yu.

Not too long ago, I saw three centurion teams rushing to the mansions of these three people respectively, and first surrounded the mansions of these three people.

Since Xiang Yu attacked Pi's attack very suddenly, there was no time left for the city to react.Whether it is the county magistrate or the county lieutenant, the money and food they embezzled are all in their own mansion, and there is no time to transfer them out.

Xiang Yu sent his confidants to surround the three families, so that whoever is telling the truth and who is telling the lie can be found out just by checking.

After dispatching troops to surround the three families, Xiang Yu said to Li You, "Military Master, let's go and have a look together!"

"But anyone who is corrupt and accepts bribes will definitely take their lives!"

When Xiang Yu said this, he gave Zhang Ran a hard look. Zhang Ran scolded himself for being a bastard, but Xiang Yu still remembers it now!
Xiang Yu thought that the county magistrate and county lieutenant were probably corrupt criminals, but Zhang Ran was definitely not clean.Perhaps, the county magistrate and county lieutenant are more corrupt, while Zhang Ran, the county magistrate from out of town, is less corrupt.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu felt that he had to come up with three chapters for Li You, and put the ugly words first.Otherwise, if the county magistrate Zhang Ran is found to be corrupt later, and Li You is pleading for him, wouldn't that hurt the harmony between him and Li You.

"Military division, just now you said that for those officials whose corruption is not serious, we still have to use these officials."

"Should we make a rule first that those who corrupt as many taels of silver are big greeds, and those who corrupt as many taels of silver are small greeds?" Xiang Yu asked Li You.

Xiang Yu is a straightforward person, and he can't hide things in his heart. Since he and Xiang Yu thought about these days, Li You can tell what he is thinking just by looking at his face.

Li You knew that Xiang Yu still remembered Zhang Ran scolding him, and Xiang Yu still held grudges now!

Li You smiled slightly, and said to Xiang Yu: "Your Majesty, why don't we stipulate that if the corruption is less than 100 taels, we will not blame the past. If the corruption is 100 taels to 500 taels, we will order them to replace the corrupt money. Temporarily Stay employed."

Having said that, Li You's face turned cold, and he said in a stern tone: "As for those who have been corrupted for more than 500 taels, there is no need to say more, just pull them out and chop them up!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ran still stood there motionless.However, the two people, the county magistrate and the county magistrate, were trembling with fright!
The amount of corruption between the two of them is far more than 500 taels, even 5000 taels, and 5 taels is far more than that.

Xiapi County is a large county, and the annual agricultural tax and commercial tax are not a small amount.In addition, the county magistrate and county magistrate jointly set up a card on the official road outside the city.But all caravans passing through Xiapi County had to be stripped of their skin first.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant are not considered officials, they can only be regarded as officials. Officials of this level are corrupted by 500 taels. So much corruption.

Li You could tell that Xiang Yu wanted to take Zhang Ran's life.Li You saw that Zhang Ran was a talent and wanted to save his life.

However, Li Youbao's premise is that Zhang Rande is an upright official. If he is really a corrupt official, then his death will be in vain.

Xiang Yu dragged Li You forward to ransack the house, and after the group left the county office, it became a question of whose house to raid first.

There are three families in total, which one to go to first, and which one to go to last, there must be an order!

"Military Master, which family shall we copy first?" Xiang Yu asked Li You.

After Xiang Yu asked this question, the county magistrate and county magistrate who were detained behind subconsciously shrank back, for fear that Xiang Yu would take the two of them first.

At this time, I saw Zhang Ran striding forward, and said loudly: "Start from my house!"

Come on, here's another volunteer.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu was overjoyed.Xiang Yu thought to himself, you boy, there is a way to heaven if you don’t go, and there is no way to hell you just vote for yourself!

As everyone knows, Zhang Ran is upright and is not afraid of his shadow slanting. He is innocent, so naturally he is not afraid of your search.

Zhang Ran took the initiative to invite Ying, so naturally he searched from his house first. Anyway, this is a sequential matter, and no one can escape.

A group of people came to Zhang Ran's mansion, Zhang Ran's mansion was not big, even he couldn't even call it a mansion.

It's just a small courtyard, and this small courtyard is also very dilapidated.

Since Zhang Ran didn't marry a wife, this courtyard was apart from Zhang Ran, and there was no one else around.

After seeing Zhang Ran's residence, Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This kid's residence looks a bit shabby, and he doesn't look like a corrupt official.

At this time, Xiang Yu was a little worried. If this boy was not a corrupt official, how would he take his life?

Although he thought so in his heart, Xiang Yu still waved his hand and said, "Come here, search for me, search inch by inch, and don't miss any corner."

Xiang Yu thought to himself, maybe this kid is just pretending.Deliberately living in such a shabby place, showing that he is an upright official, but in fact he does not know where he has hidden a lot of money.

Xiang Yu doesn't like Zhang Ran now, and looks at him with colored glasses, so he naturally wants to trouble him.

Some of Xiang Yu's cronies entered Zhang Ran's small courtyard, and after about a cup of tea, they came out one after another!
"My lord, that's all!"

At this time, a soldier held a package in his hand and handed over some broken silver and some copper coins found in the courtyard.

After Xiang Yu saw the money in the package, his face darkened immediately, and Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, "That's all?"

The scraps of silver and copper coins in this package together amounted to more than a dozen taels of silver.

Zhang Ran is the county magistrate of Xiapi County, and he is also the parent officer of this city. His salary is enough to support a family of more than ten people.

It stands to reason that Zhang Ran is alone, even if he is not corrupt, it is impossible for the family to have such a star and a half of assets, right?
"That's really it!" The general in charge of the search replied.

"Have you searched carefully?"

"The search is so fast, you must have not searched carefully!" Xiang Yu asked himself and answered.

There was a wry smile on Pianjiang's face, and he said to Xiang Yu: "Your Majesty, you will know when you go in and take a look!"

Pianjiang feels bitter, they have really searched carefully, and they are extremely serious.However, Xiang Yu didn't believe it, so he had to let him see it for himself.

It is true that they searched quickly, but there was a reason for this speed.

"Step aside!"

"I'll do it myself!" Xiang Yu fiddled with the soldiers blocking the door, and walked into the courtyard to search.

As soon as Xiang Yu searched in person, he immediately understood why his subordinates searched so quickly.

In Zhang Ran's courtyard, although there are also a dozen or so houses of various sizes.However, most of these houses are empty.

There are only three houses with a little furniture, namely the bedroom, the study room and the kitchen room.

Except for these three houses, the rest of the houses were empty and bare, so naturally there was nothing to search.

Even the bedroom, study, and kitchen are very simple.At first glance, this yard doesn't look like the home of the county magistrate, but more like a dilapidated rich family!
"Military division, this kid has a problem!"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. No matter what, he is also a county magistrate. How can he be so poor!"

"According to this king, he must have been corrupt, and then hid all his corrupt gains!" Xiang Yu thought.

"Pooh!"

"You fart!"

"You can behead my head, but you can't insult my character!"

"If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!" Zhang Ran cursed.

Li You didn't care about Xiang Yu's words. From Li You's point of view, Xiang Yu didn't seem very smart.Just listen to what he said, but you can't take it seriously.

Li You looked at Zhang Ran, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did your salary and salary go?"

Li Youxin thought, Zhang Ran was young and had no wife. It was the time when he was very angry. Most of the salary and salary were spent on the land of flowers and willows.

However, Zhang Ran raised his head and said in a confident manner: "After I receive my salary every month, except for basic expenses, the rest of my salary will be sent to the Nursing Home!"

The Nursing Home is a combination of a nursing home and an orphanage in the Han Dynasty, and some homeless old people and children are supported in it.

The main source of income for the nursing home is the county government appropriation and donations from wealthy families.However, the money and food in Xiapi are all controlled by the county magistrate and the county captain. Zhang Ran cannot allocate money and food to the nursing home, so he can only personally help these helpless old people and children.
