Chapter 187: Wechat private visit
Chapter 187
After Qin destroyed Han, Han land was changed to Yingchuan County, becoming the easternmost county in Qin land, adjacent to Wei and Chu.
Xinzheng, as the capital of the original Korean nation, after entering Qin’s rule, many changes were first reflected in Xinzheng.
The original old appearance of the city was quickly improved, and the streets were also widened, becoming more and more lively.
This afternoon, it was in the middle of the day, and it was almost dusk.
At the entrance of the city gate of Xinzheng, a man and a woman entered.
The woman was twenty-five or six, with a stunning appearance, which attracted the attention of the people and soldiers who came in and out of the city gate.
The man has a sturdy stature, but his face is ordinary, with only a pair of deep and piercing eyes.
It was Zhao Huaizhong and Mu Yangjing who left Xianyang and came to Yingchuan.
The appearance, clothes and temperament of the two have been adjusted appropriately.
After left Xianyang, Mu Yangjing looked calm.
calmly accepted the arrangement of being dragged out to accompany the Daqin monarch for a private visit.
Anyway, the two of us are innocent, we just accompany him on a trip... Mu Yangjing comforted himself.
Entered Xinzheng, Zhao Huaizhong walked along the street, drove safely, and observed the style of Xinzheng.
At the beginning of 's destruction of Han, he once came to Xinzheng, with the heart of the Han people.
At that time, Xinzheng was dilapidated, the roads were ups and downs, and there were many beggars on the streets.
This time, the situation has improved.
Qin has encouraged farming and business since Zhao Huaizhong ascended the throne.
Xinzheng streets can also see a lot of Xianyang's best-selling commerce and other items, indicating that the Qin government has been implemented well, and the commerce and trade of various places are interconnected.
Zhao Huai Center: No wonder the emperors are willing to visit in private, not only to relieve boredom, but also to see different styles from different perspectives. Watching the changes in various places under his own control, there is a sense of accomplishment... an indescribable sense of achievement.
"What are you doing in Yingchuan County?" Mu Yangjing asked.
She didn't believe that Zhao Huaizhong simply wanted to go out with her to see the changes after Han Di returned to Qin.
Zhao Huaizhong said: "Have you seen the appearance of Xinzheng before Qin returned to Qin?"
Mu Yang nodded quietly: "Does the King of Qin want to say that he has made political achievements?"
At this time, the two came to a restaurant by the street.
The shop is only located along the street, with a grass hut, and it also sells a kind of food that was passed down from Xianyang.
Zhao Huaizhong stepped forward and asked for two servings - steamed sugar cake with yellow rice.
The sugar in this era was mostly maltose, which was made from rice, millet and other grains through fermentation and saccharification. There are soft and hard. There is also natural sugar, but the cost is too high and cannot be used for civilian use.
Candy is also something that Zhao Huaizhong asked the Qin people's creation department to drum up in advance in the past two years.
It is a little embarrassing that when shopping, the Lord of Qin has no money and no money to check out.
The reason is that he never takes money with him when he goes out, and Liu Qi follows him and takes the money.
Mu Yangjing waited unkindly to watch the joke, but saw Zhao Huaizhong's calm expression, and used mana to conjure coins to the boss, completing the disguised prostitution.
After shopping and leaving, Zhao Huaizhong brought Mu Yangjing to the top of the main hall in a quiet courtyard in Xinzheng City.
He took a seat on the roof.
Mu Yangjing looked at the courtyard below and saw that the vegetation was quiet and the courtyard was spacious. It was a good place: Could it be that his real purpose of coming here has something to do with the courtyard below?
She also sat down beside Zhao Huaizhong.
One steamed sugar cake for two people.
Zhao Huaizhong took a bite: "It tastes okay."
Mu Yangjing was quite fresh about the experience of running out with him and eating sugar cakes on the roof. With eyes full of eyes, he happily looked at the courtyard below the building: "Where is this?"
Zhao Huaizhong muttered: "Seafood market."
Mu Yangjing didn't understand, showing a look of questioning.
Zhao Huaizhong said: "It's about to get dark, you can see it when you see it."
The sunset on the horizon is falling, and the sunset slowly loses its color.
The sky soon darkened.
But after the sky darkened, the courtyard below was propped up with wind lanterns and became lively.
Soon after, in the courtyard where Zhao Huaizhong and the other were staying, several men came together and entered the hall below.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong took out a mirror, which was the bone mirror.
He flipped the mirror, and the light immediately penetrated the roof, presenting the scene in the lower room.
The room below is spacious and elegantly furnished.
Sitting in the room was a tall and rich middle-aged man in a yellow-brown robe.
There are four entourages standing to his left and right.
In front of the man was a woman in her thirties, dressed in a rather gorgeous long dress, with charming eyebrows and a respectful look.
This courtyard is called Yuerong Hall, which is of the same nature as the Xiaoqin Building in Xianyang.
The woman in the room below is a character similar to the old (harmonious) bustard of Xiao Qinlou.
Beside the man sitting in the center of the room, an attendant asked, "Are you ready for the person your lord wants?"
The woman flattered: "Your lord ordered it, and of course it's already ready."
"Bring people up." The attendant ordered.
Soon three women were brought into the hall from outside.
Of these three women, two of them were about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the other was slightly older, twenty-three or four-year-old, with a woman's temples.
The three girls were obviously not willing to come, and the two girls also had red and swollen eyes, and their faces were full of fear.
The man sitting in the center of the room looked up and down the three women who were brought in. When his eyes fell on the oldest woman, he showed a satisfied look and said, "Leave all three, you wait to go out."
The last sentence was addressed to the entourage beside him.
Seeing that the seafood business is about to be staged next, on the roof, Mu Yangjing couldn't wait any longer, and got up to leave: "What the **** are you doing, don't tell me I'm leaving."
Zhao Huaizhong sighed and put away the bone mirror:
"After Han Fei entered Qin, he played the table several times, admonishing to rule the country by law, and I asked Ye Yufu to thoroughly investigate whether officials in various places were greedy for ink.
I have time to spare today, so I want to come and see how the officials of Yingchuan County deceive me and deceive me. "
"This is the official of Yingchuan County?"
Mu Yangjing closed his eyes and said in amazement, "What is this person's identity, it is worth your visit in person."
"The point of this matter is not his identity. Come on, go down and hear what he has to say."
Zhao Huai's words fell, his figure disappeared suddenly, and he appeared in the hall below.
The tall middle-aged man who was sitting in the room just now was taking off his (harmonious) trousers, revealing a pair of thick hairy legs.
The three women who were called into the room before were all bound to the couch by an invisible force, unable to move.
All three of them knew what was going to happen next, and their faces were sad and terrified.
Zhao Huaizhong didn't hide his whereabouts after entering the room, the man immediately felt a sense and turned his head like a whirlwind.
When he saw Zhao Huaizhong, he was instantly surprised, but he quickly calmed down and said softly, "Someone."
The four guards who had just left the door pushed the door open and entered again.
Seeing Zhao Huaizhong standing by the window, his complexion changed slightly.
The leading guard was around forty years old, wearing a black Qin official's robe, with a waistband of the same color, hanging a wooden sign representing his identity, staring at Zhao Huaizhong with sharp eyes, and scolding: "Who are you, dare to trespass this place. , Do you know the identity of my adult?"
Zhao Huaizhong said calmly: "Yingchuan County Governor Zhao Yue."
On the roof, Mu Yangjing did not come down, but his heart moved slightly when he heard this.
The county governor of Yingchuan was not only an important member of the Qin Dynasty, but also the head of a county.
According to Mu Yangjing's knowledge, it was still the identity of the Qin clan, which was originally highly relied upon by King Zhuangxiang.
Zhao Huaizhong came to Yingchuan County in person, this county governor would definitely have bad luck, and he was afraid that there would be a lot of involvement behind it.
Mu Yangjing thought about it again and said: This county governor is the head of a county, an important member of the Qin Dynasty, and his status is quite prominent. Why did he come to such a place to coerce the woman?
In the room, the Yingchuan County Governor, the tall man saw Zhao Huaizhong revealing his identity, slowly put on his pants, looked at Zhao Huaizhong, and said with a cold face:
"Who are you?"
Zhao Huaizhong said to himself: "After investigation, Zhao Yue, the governor of Yingchuan County, privately increased taxes, concealed the actual number of taxes, and all the income was withheld for private use.
You dare to misappropriate the money, grain, etc. allocated from Xianyang to Yingchuan County for construction.
And you are bullying men and women in Yingchuan, and you are afraid of being discovered by Ye Yufu's investigation, so all the women you fancy are placed in this Yuerong Hall for your prostitution (harmony) pleasure.
This place is claimed to be a place of prostitutes (harmony), but it has sixteen courtyards, only six of which are open to the public to hide people's eyes and ears, trying to hide the night from the imperial palace's investigation, and the rest are only for your private access.
There are no less than 100 women here, and they are all good families that you have seized. Do you know the guilt? "
Zhao Huaizhong secretly thought that this public tool was used for private use, turning the public market into private seafood, and eating it by himself is too bad.
Yingchuan County Governor Zhao Yue sneered.
He heard Zhao Huaizhong mentioning Ye Yufu, and was able to find out so many secrets of himself, he immediately reacted and regarded Zhao Huaizhong as a secret agent of Ye Yufu.
"Now that I know my identity, I know that Zhao Yue is the clan of the Great Qin Dynasty. When it comes to closeness, the King of Qin is also my younger brother."
Zhao Yue abruptly took a step forward, exuding his aura, pressing towards Zhao Huaizhong, poking his finger and shouting:
"The identity of this person is unknown, and if he wants to do something wrong, take it down with me."
He deliberately did not say that he saw through the identity of the other party as a secret agent of Ye Yufu, and suddenly ordered, already thinking about the next plan, how to exonerate himself.
In his identity as a Qin clan, he has an old relationship with King Zhuangxiang.
His own actions are known to Ye Yufu, and things will be very troublesome, but it is not a dead end.
He had to catch the Ye Yufu spy in front of him first, and figure out how much Ye Yufu knew about him before he could deal with it.
Seeing the four entourages rushing up, Zhao Huaizhong's internal strength revolved and his face was restored.
Zhao Yue's eyes turned dark, his expression changed drastically, the thoughts that were churning in his mind stopped abruptly, and he said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty!"
The strength in his body, the previous calculations and considerations, all disappeared at this moment, his legs became weak, and he fell to his knees.
The few attendants beside him were also pale.
On this day, Zhao Huaizhong returned to Xianyang in the second half of the night.
Yingchuan County Governor, Zhao Yue of the Qin family was dereliction of duty.
Zhao Huaizhong went to Yingchuan County on a temporary basis, mainly to see the changes after Han Jing returned to Qin. However, when Zhao Yue was investigated and punished, Yingchuan was used as a breakthrough point, and Zhao Yue was beheaded as an example.
Next, Han Fei's strategy to govern Qin will have much less resistance.
All parts of Daqin will investigate corruption of ink and other matters, and all the money collected will be put into the national treasury for military use.
Mid-June, night.
Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Huaizhong, who was sitting behind the low seat and reading the ancient scrolls, suddenly felt some kind of qi sensation, put down the bamboo slips, got up and walked out of the hall, looking at the night sky in the distance.
