Chapter 442: It Turns Out That These Are Two Tomb Robbers!
In the bones of people, there is a nature of bullying others.
Chai Guosheng's nature was shown by him in bullying the weak and the fishy father.
However, like everyone else, when the forces he relied on could no longer be relied on, he immediately became like a frosted eggplant and sat on the ground with a "coo".
Nine-star gold and jade card, he asked Liu Xing but didn't answer, he knew that this time he met a big man he couldn't afford to provoke, and his good days were coming to an end.
But what he didn't expect was that Liu Xing didn't immediately ask him for the crime, but sat in front of the stone table and tasted the tribute tea on the table slowly and casually.
Time began to flow, a quarter of an hour passed, half an hour passed. Liu Xing just didn't open his mouth like that, just drank tea one pot after another without saying anything.
Liang Xing, who was standing behind Liu Xing, also leaned his back against the pillar of the flower hall, just staring at Chai Guosheng and his housekeeper who were paralyzed on the ground, and he didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
After Liu Xing showed the nine-star gold and jade card, he pulled up Liu Ruyun and turned around and walked into the flower hall and sat at the small tea table on the other side. While eating the fruit on the table, he softly pulled up the homely ......
Finally, an hour passed.
Several figures suddenly flashed at the entrance of the garden, and as soon as one of the leaders of those people walked into the garden, he saw Liu Xing sitting in the flower hall and still leisurely drinking tea.
The man was slightly stunned, and then strode into the flower hall.
After kneeling at Liu Xing's feet with a "bang", the person who came said loudly: "Sun Zhengao, the subordinate Wuying Pavilion Tongzhi and the deputy envoy of the Transit Department of the Front Division of the Palace, should come here, I don't know what Lord Taifu commands." ”
As soon as I heard this. didn't wait for Liu Xing to answer. Chai Guosheng woke up violently and shouted, "Taifu, Taifu." You, you're really Mrs. Liu! Oh, that mother! ”
After he called his mother, he turned around again and crawled in front of Liu Xing.
Kowtowing like pounding garlic, Chai Guosheng cried and said: "Taifu spares his life, Taifu spares his life, I really don't know that the Liu family is a relative of your family." If I knew, let alone a dozen stones of grain and a few thousand coins, even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, I would give them to his family for nothing, how dare I ask for interest! Grandpa Taifu, Grandpa Taifu, you don't remember the villain, spare your subordinates......"
"Bang ......"
His wails died down for a moment. Liu Xing jerked his leg up, kicked him upside down, and slammed into the pillar behind him.
What kind of cultivation is Liu Xing, that is a person who cultivates in the Mahayana realm. And what about Chai Guosheng? At most, he is a martial artist, so low that he can't be lower. was kicked by Liu Xing, and when he hit the pillar, he didn't even have a chance to scream again, so his eyes went black and he fainted.
"Sun Zhengao, this is your subordinate, right?" After kicking Chai Guosheng like a fat pig, Liu Xingcai looked coldly at Sun Zhengao who was kneeling in front of him, and asked in a chilling voice.
When Sun Zhengao heard this, he was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and said urgently: "Taifu forgiveness, Taifu forgiveness, although this person is my subordinate, he is not directly selected by me, let alone my direct subordinate." ”
Half a sentence. Sun Zhengao turned his head and stood outside the flower hall in a daze. A person who came with him scolded loudly: "Li Taizhuang, you are a fool, why don't you come forward and ask the master for his guilt." ”
Standing outside the flower hall in a daze, the man in the snake-patterned suit hurriedly stepped forward when he heard the sound, and knelt at Liu Xing's feet with a "plop".
"Subordinate Li Taizhuang, see Taifu. This, this Chai Guosheng was not recruited by his subordinates, but was personally selected by the young marshal Jin Nu from thousands of people last year. At that time, the young marshal said that this person's skills may be of great use in our dynasty in the future. After Li Taizhuang said these words, he was so frightened that his whole head was on the ground and he didn't dare to look up again.
Hearing this, and looking at this situation again, this time Liu Xing was stunned, and said secretly in his heart: My slave brother, why did you accept such a scum from your father and me? What kind of ability does he have that will be of great use to our dynasty, is it possible that his ability to exploit the people and fish and meat in the country can save the country and save the people, and save the people from fire and water?
Thinking of this, Liu Xing did not show any helplessness on his face, and forced a calm look to ask Li Taizhuang: "Jin Nu recruited him, so what is his ability?" ”
"Hui, Hui Taifu, this person is after the Three Kingdoms era after touching the gold. He, his official family, is a descendant of General Lang in the Fat Hill. ”
Li Taizhuang first told the origin of the two, then glanced sideways at the official kneeling beside him, and then said: "The two of them stole the property of the ancient tomb many times in various parts of Hebei, so that the Cangzhou Chai officials accepted the two. Last year, the young marshal of the golden slave said that our dynasty was short of gold and silver, so that the dragon coin could not be implemented to replace the old coin. If you get two of them, in the future, you will play the Ming Taifu and go to dig the ancient tombs, and you will be able to quickly accumulate gold and silver, so as to make the dragon coin smoothly implemented. ”
After listening to Li Taizhuang's words, Liu Xing couldn't help but look sideways at Chai Guosheng, who had passed out, and then at the housekeeper who was kneeling and trembling, and said secretly in his heart: The descendants of Captain Jin and the descendants of General Faqiu Zhonglang, it turns out that these are two tomb robbers!
In the early days of the Three Kingdoms struggle, Cao Cao's sphere of influence was still small. In many cases, the city that has just been laid has not had time to be governed, and it has already changed to a new owner, and the territory "Chaoqin and Dusk Chu" is nothing new.
No one knows how long they will be able to stay on the territory they occupy. As a result, the cities that were laid down were often looted. In such a situation, it is difficult for the army to achieve the purpose of rest and recuperation.
The warlord scuffle prevented Cao Cao's army from resting for a long time, and displaced peasants saw spring planting but could not wait for the autumn harvest. It's like a pot of rice that has just been made, but in the blink of an eye, it has become someone else's meal.
As a result, raising military salaries in a short period of time became a prerequisite for the princes to fight everywhere.
In order to solve his own food and salary problem, Cao Cao set his sights on the ancient profession of tomb robbing. As we all know, in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, after the peaceful and prosperous era of the rule of Wenjing, the social productive forces were fully utilized, and the economic prosperity made it a common practice at that time.
This also provided conditions for Cao Cao to steal graves and dig graves and steal gold and silver treasures to pay for military salaries. The official positions of "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Touching Gold Captain" who specialized in tomb robbery came into being in Cao Cao's army.
Cao Cao's crime of robbing the tomb was first exposed by Chen Lin, one of his former opponent's strategists and later one of Cao Wei's important advisers, among the seven sons of Jian'an. But since Chen Lin scolded Cao Cao in an article, Cao Mengde became unscrupulous back then.
So, in that era of chaos in the world, Cao Cao not only first set up a captain who touched the gold to rob the tomb for him to obtain money to supplement military expenses. Later, a Zhonglang general, that is, Faqiu Zhonglang General, joined the ranks of stealing ancient tombs and excavating money.
For people from the era of tomb robbery literature in later generations, Liu Xing certainly knew how dirty and shameful these two professions were, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart again, and secretly thought: My good son, don't you want your father and me to be Cao Cao and Huang Chao's generation, and dig up the graves of other people's ancestors to raise money to implement dragon coins!
