This step seemed to step on the hearts of Tian An and Han Cheng, making them hold their breath involuntarily and stare at the bridge with all their concentration.
Da Da Da!
Everything is so natural and so extraordinary.
The two walked over.
He didn't stop at all, as if he didn't even see the agate left on the ground, which made Tian An, who was eager to get fat, immediately dumbfounded.
His eyes widened.
His eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
"???"
"What's going on?"
"Are both blind?"
"Can't you see the bright agate?"
"That's an agate tiger-head honker, a peerless treasure of Qi State. Even the First Emperor coveted it back then, but you actually dismissed it?"
Tian An was extremely angry.
He couldn't accept it.
Can't accept it no matter what.
He was able to get this agate tiger-head henge back then, but it took a lot of effort. If it hadn't been about him this time, he wouldn't have thought of taking it out at all.
result?
Qin Luoheng even dismissed it.
He could think that Qin Luoheng didn't pick it up because he didn't have the knowledge to recognize the treasure, but Bo Shu, no matter how she was from a noble family, had seen the world more or less, and in the end, she ignored it.
That's agate!
Agate is found only in Qi State in the world.
A truly unique treasure!
When Yan State launched a war to destroy the country, they didn't get anything, but these two people actually abandoned it like worn out shoes.
This is really unreasonable!
Tian An felt like his chest was about to explode with anger.
Han Cheng also looked embarrassed.
He also didn't expect that the two of them would be so straightforward and just walk past indifferently, as if they only had eyes for each other and nothing else.
This is really shocking.
Seeing Tian An almost going berserk, Han Cheng quickly comforted him.
"Brother Tian, don't get angry."
"Perhaps these two people didn't see it?"
Tian An gritted his teeth and said:
"How could they not see that?"
"Although the sky is getting dark now, it is not completely dark yet. There is just one thing on the bridge, which is still purple and even emitting a faint light. Even everyone can see it. How could they not see it?"
"They did it on purpose!"
"I'm so angry!"
Han Cheng opened his mouth.
He didn't know how to persuade him.
The agate Tiger Head Heng is indeed very eye-catching, otherwise it would not be coveted by so many people, and Tian An would not take it out specially for this purpose. Agate is crystal clear, and under the sunlight, it will emit a shining light, the tiger head Heng's light
It is still purple, and with a tiger head, it looks even more precious.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is a treasure.
even......
If he hadn't known that this was a trap, his first reaction when he saw this kind of treasure would have been to secretly hide it while no one was around.
Think of this.
An idea came to Han Cheng's mind.
He whispered:
"Brother Tian, could it be that we misunderstood?"
"Qin Luoheng and Bo Shu actually saw it, but they pretended not to see it, just to keep the jewel to themselves."
"It's not impossible." Tian An looked at the two of them and said disdainfully: "I really thought that the two of them were passionate about each other. It turns out that they both have their own agendas."
"Right."
"When I first saw this tiger head Heng, I was moved for a long time. How could they not be moved when they saw a treasure of this level for the first time?"
"So to say."
"Then Bo Shu is a problem?"
Han Cheng was about to nod in agreement, when suddenly another sound came from his ears.
"Qin Shizi."
"Qin Shizi, please stay!"
Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Tian An's eyes flashed with displeasure.
growled:
"What do these slaves do for food?"
"Didn't I ask them to stop people? How long did it take before someone came over?"
"What a bunch of trash!"
"Come here, call the person who stopped me."
On the bridge.
I heard someone calling me.
Qin Luoheng turned his head subconsciously.
Enter the eyes.
A soap-colored official came.
Qin Luoheng did not dare to neglect, and quickly saluted and said: "Did the superior call me?"
The visitor nodded.
He smiled and said:
"I am a workshop engineer, my name is Zheng Sheng."
"I'm here to tell you that the wrought iron you used to make the iron pot has been approved by the government, and I am the engineer who made the 'iron pot' for you."
Qin Luoheng said: "Thank you, engineer, for informing me."
Zheng Sheng looked at Qin Luoheng for a few times, and the smile in his eyes became even stronger.
He smiled and said:
"You're welcome, Qin Shizi."
"I came here this time to tell you by the way, because this is my first time making an iron pot. I may be a bit unskilled and it may take a little more time, but it will definitely be ready in four days. If Qin Shizi is free, I can make it that day.
Come directly to the workshop to collect it."
Qin Luoheng frowned.
Four days?
This time is a little too long.
If he remembered correctly, the craftsmen in the workshop were all very skilled. Unless it was a very large item, they could rarely be completed within a day. Moreover, the making process of the iron pot was not troublesome and was similar to that of the cauldron.
Four days.
It’s just too long!
Seeing Qin Luoheng frowning, Zheng Sheng said displeasedly:
"Qin Shizi has any opinions?"
Qin Luoheng said bluntly:
"Go back to the official, isn't four days too long?"
"Actually, an iron pot is not much different from a cauldron. There is no need to make a 'kettle ear' yet. The process is obviously simpler. Why does it take so much more time?"
The smile on Zheng Sheng's face dropped.
Dissatisfied:
"You mean I'm slowing you down?"
"When I say four days, it certainly means four days."
"You don't need to know why."
"After four days, you just come to the workshop to collect it, and it's only a few extra days, so what does it matter? Can I still steal your iron pot?"
"What a fuss."
Hear the words.
A flash of displeasure flashed in Qin Luoheng's eyes.
The other party's tone was too condescending.
Moreover, this iron pot was obtained by himself using ink-making skills, and it was not rewarded by the government for no reason. Why can't he have an opinion? Even the officials who were notified earlier were not as arrogant as him.
He is rewarded.
It’s not like he was sentenced!
Qin Luoheng was about to speak, but Bo Shu pulled his sleeve, not wanting him to argue with the engineer. Qin Luoheng frowned and said coldly:
"I will go to the workshop to pick it up in four days."
Zheng Sheng snorted coldly.
said:
"I'll be waiting for you in the workshop in four days."
"My time is precious, don't make me wait too long, otherwise I will have to come back another day."
but.
Qin Luoheng ignored him at all.
He pulled Bo Shu and walked straight towards the other side of the bridge.
Zheng Sheng looked angry.
Of course he knew that making an iron pot would only last four days.
But four days later, it happened to be the second day of rest. At that time, people's energy is often the weakest, and he just wanted to take advantage of that time to fish in troubled waters.
I saw Qin Luoheng getting off the bridge.
Zheng Sheng sneered:
"Qin Luoheng, it's you who caused my nephew to lose his official position and caused my brother to be investigated. You still want to own an iron pot. It's just your wishful thinking."
"You will never be able to get an iron pot in your life!"
Zheng Sheng turned around.
But soon, he turned back.
Zheng Sheng glanced at the bridge covertly, and then quickly scanned the surroundings.
Sudden.
He bent down and patted his skirt with his left hand, as if patting the dust on it. But at that moment, his other hand quickly reached out to the side and touched a piece of purple light not far away.
The jade was caught in his hand.
His eyes were full of greed.
Zheng Sheng stood up.
There was no abnormal color on the face.
He glanced around to make sure no one noticed, then hid the jade in his sleeve, and then strode away from Weiqiao.
Weiqiao became completely quiet.
On the other side.
After walking off the bridge, Bo Shu finally remembered what was wrong.
She said excitedly:
"I remembered."
"The merchant's clothes are wrong."
"The brocade clothes he wears."
"The law of Qin stipulates that merchants must not dare to wear brocade shoes."
"Great Qin prohibits merchants from wearing clothes and shoes made of brocade, and the merchant just now clearly violated the law."
"and......"
"I wonder if Mr. Qin has noticed that there is a piece of purple jade on the bridge."
"Looks very luxurious."
"Coupled with the engineers who appeared behind, everything on the bridge is very strange, as if someone has deliberately arranged it."
Qin Luoheng frowned.
He didn't know this law.
But he knew that the Qin Dynasty did have requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Depending on your status, you could eat what kind of food and wear what kind of clothes. Everything was regulated.
And merchants belong to ‘city registration’.
Their social status is lower than that of craftsmen.
In the Qin Dynasty, those who went bankrupt in business would be taken as official slaves.
"Book of Shang Jun·Ling of Reclamation" also calls for increased restrictions on merchants, believing that if there is no huge profit to be made, merchants will not want to do business and will have to go to farming. Moreover, if there are few merchants, there will be no good things to buy, and the people will
There is no enjoyment and you can avoid wasting food.
Merchants in Daqin have always been treated in a discriminatory manner.
Both overt and covert.
The First Emperor didn't have a good impression of merchants. Although he respected Ba Qing, Ba Qing was more of an advocate of women's character. At the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor stipulated the "seven subjects", that is, the seven types of corvee.
Priority collection targets.
Four of the seven subjects are related to ‘city registration’.
They are the merchants themselves, those who once had "city registration", those whose parents had "city registration", and those whose grandparents had "city registration".
Every time the Qin Dynasty conscripted people, the first to be conscripted were the three categories of "changbu (bu) deceased, son-in-law, and Jia people", followed by ordinary Guizhou heads.
How can a merchant wear brocade clothes if his status is so low?
As for the piece of jade that Bo Shu mentioned, he naturally saw it, but he had no interest in jade and naturally had no interest in taking a second look.
Think of these.
He also understood why Bo Shu was pulling him behind him. She was worried that she had fallen into someone else's trap, so she specifically stopped herself.
Qin Luoheng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
He looked at Bo Shu with a complicated expression. Bo Shu was not old, but he was very knowledgeable and reasonable, and he was frank and straightforward. This was really hard to explain, but...
She is too small!
Especially Xiao He showed off her sharp corners.
Seeing Qin Luoheng looking at her, Bo Shu couldn't help but blush.
When Qin Luoheng saw this, he immediately blushed and cursed himself in his heart, and the two of them walked in silence.
while walking.
The two of them were getting further and further away from Weiqiao.
the other side.
Tian An was almost furious.
He never expected that everything he carefully planned would have so many loopholes. First, Bo Shu appeared. He thought Qin Luoheng would please the beauty and presented him with the tiger head Heng, but in the end they both had their own agendas.
, he tolerated it for the time being.
After all, human nature is greedy.
But he never expected that another person would appear at the end.
He had previously promised Han Cheng by patting his chest that there would be no problems with his plan and that no one else would get involved. However, he was slapped in the face one after another on the spot.
Something even more annoying.
This man even shamelessly picked up the tiger head Heng.
He still had excuses for Zheng Sheng not to take away Hu Tou Heng, but by taking him away, wouldn't it mean that his plan had completely failed?
And it is a failure that cannot fail again.
How can he not be angry?
soon.
A servant came over tremblingly.
"Son."
Tian An looked at the slave coldly, kicked him immediately, and cursed angrily: "What did I tell you before?"
"Don't let anyone go!"
"How did you do it for me?"
"You just let someone in right in front of me. Do you think you can ignore me now that you've come to Xianyang?"
"Even Xianyang."
"Since you are my slave, you will always be my slave!"
"I want you to die, you have to die at any time!"
"Maybe you don't know the laws of Qin, so I will tell you today that there is a law in Qin that stipulates that parents and masters have the right to apply for the execution of their children and slaves."
"That is to say."
"I can apply for your execution at any time!"
Hearing Tian An's words, the slave's face changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, I made a mistake, and I will never do it again in the future."
"I actually didn't want to let him go."
"But...but this person is a Qin official, and I really don't dare to stop him."
Hear the words.
Tian An kicked him again.
He cursed angrily:
"You're still making excuses for me."
"Qin Li?"
"What's wrong with Official Qin?"
"Did I ask you to rob him? Or did I ask you to kill him? I just asked you to delay him for a while."
"Delay, don't you understand?"
"If you can't even do this little thing well, what's the use of you?"
"waste!"
"It's all rubbish!"
Tian An cursed angrily.
Han Cheng stood aside expressionlessly, not feeling anything wrong at all.
To them, slaves are lowly people. If you kill them, kill them. At worst, they will go to the slave market to buy new ones. And who cares about the life and death of a slave? But now they are in Xianyang, and to kill these slaves, they need to go
Apply to the government.
But that's all.
Wait for Tian An's anger to subside.
Han Cheng said with a gloomy look: "Brother Tian, things are already like this, what should we do next?"
Tian An's eyes were cold and he said:
"What?"
"What else can you do?"
"Sue the official!"
"Since that man took what Qin Luoheng should have taken, he should go and suffer the punishment for Qin Luoheng. My Tian An's things are not that easy to take."
"Qin Li?"
"What's the point?"
"It would be a crime to steal a mulberry leaf in Daqin, not to mention what this person 'stole' was a treasure? Let him be a prisoner for decades."
"If you dare to take my things, he is seeking death!"
"Mother and maidservant!"
Han Cheng nodded.
He has no problem with it.
after all......
The person they want to frame is a Qin official.
And that's enough!
The two of them summed it up, unified their words, and walked towards the prison with cold faces.
They want to sue the officials.
