Chapter 4 The Chaos in the Palace (Part 2)
"Shopkeeper, please open the door." A voice came from outside the door.
The sound was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. Zhou Chong was so focused that he remembered that this was Cao Bo, the inner historian of Xianyang. Zhou Chong had a good impression of Cao Bo. He knew that he was honest and made great contributions to Sibaozhai’s achievements today. Zhou Chong felt a little at ease and hurriedly opened the door.
Cao Bo was standing outside the door with a team of soldiers, holding his fists at Zhou Chong, and said, "Shopkeeper, King Cao Bo is here, please forgive me for being rude." He waved his hand and shouted, "Search."
Zhou Chong was about to speak when he saw Cao Bo's eyes flashing at him, and hurriedly swallowed the arguments that had reached his mouth and said, "My shop is serious and there is no violation of the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Please go into the shop to search."
Cao Bo stepped in and waited for the soldiers to enter before he bowed his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, Mr. Liaozi, don't be fine, Cao Bo is polite here."
He was very pleased when he said that, and his joy was beyond words, and it was definitely not a false statement. Zhou Chong was a little puzzled, thinking that he was singing, would he be using the name of searching people and lobbying, and replied, "Zhou Chong has met the lord."
Wei Liao returned the gift and said, "I can still live up to my blessings with Lord Cao. I am plagued by official duties and I have a rare opportunity to visit my store. I don't know what kind of expensive it is to bring such military troops." Why Cao Bo came is obvious. Wei Liao's words are just a subtext. What he really wants to know is how the Qin King's rebellion progressed.
Cao Bo laughed and said, "Changxin Hou was a rebel, and Cao Bo was ordered by the king to capture the traitor. Two rebels fled here. Cao Bo disturbed him and accused him here."
This only talks about his responsibilities, and does not talk about what Wei Liao wants to know. If he understands this way, it would be wrong. What a smart person, Wei Liao has already expressed another meaning, that is, everything is under the control of the King of Qin. If the situation is not under the control of the King of Qin, he will not be able to mobilize the army, and it is even more impossible to search with such a big fan. This is the best answer. Wei Liao nodded with relief and said, "The way of heaven is shady, and even if there are illegal people, it is difficult to accomplish anything."
A very ordinary sentence, Cao Bo was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Liaozi is interested in coming out?" He once invited Wei Liao to serve as an official but was unavailable. He always thought that he had no intention of career. He did not expect that Wei Liao was so concerned about the situation in Qin. This is the best performance of his intention to serve Qin. Can he be unhappy?
However, his excitement did not last long and he was completely blown away by Wei Liao. What Wei Liao said was, "A person in the mountains and fields has no intention of serving in the official position. As long as he is carefree, he is enough."
Cao Bo sighed in disappointment and said, "Mr. Liaozi, the paradise, Cao Bo dares not have any extravagant hopes."
"Do you think he really doesn't want to come out? Then you're very wrong. He has wanted to come out long ago, just waiting for the opportunity. Besides, a master like him will not be burdened by fame and fortune. It's okay to ask him for advice and restrain him, but he has no other choice. In a sentence that we later generations are familiar with, it's: listen to the tune or not! If you have problems, even if you look for him, he will know everything and say everything, but you won't be an official. Maybe this is a real master." Zhou Chong laughed in his heart, saying in a point of view: "The world is changing and the future is unpredictable. Only in the future can we know what will happen in the future."
Cao Bo is also a smart man and said nothing. He bowed deeply to Wei Liao and then bowed to Zhou Chong, "Thank you, shopkeeper Zhou." He bowed to Wei Liao, meaning that you really have to work for the Qin Dynasty. I, Cao Bo, thanked me in advance. I, naturally thanked Zhou Chong for his gratitude.
Zhou Chong was busy with courtesy and said he didn't dare. Wei Liao received half of the courtesy and replied half of the courtesy. Wei Liao's actions should be an impolite act. In theory, Cao Bo should be unhappy. Unexpectedly, Cao Bo was so excited that he said repeatedly: "The king is wise, and he has to support him, and great things in the world will be accomplished!"
Chunyu Jue was a little confused and whispered in Zhou Chong's ear: "Brother Zhou, where are you fighting for the mystery?"
When Zhou Chong looked at her, her face was confused, and her pretty face became more charming. She couldn't help but feel her heart pounding. She muttered in her ear. Chunyu Jue blinked her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands and smiled secretly.
The reason why Wei Liao received half a courtesy was undoubtedly a strong signal, that is, he came for the Qin Dynasty. Can Cao Bo be unhappy? They are all interesting and wonderful people. In this way, their relationships are closer, and they laugh relatively loudly, which makes them extremely happy.
"Let's go, go quickly!" A shouting disturbed their interest, and everyone's laughter came to an abrupt end.
Zhou Chongxun looked at the scene and saw several soldiers pushing two wounded men. The two were dressed in silk and satin, which was very luxurious. Unfortunately, they cut a lot of holes and were unable to cover their bodies. They ruined their high-quality clothes. They wore precious rings on their fingers. The gems on the ring were shining, their bodies were covered with scars and blood.
"Peaceful and elegant!" Zhou Chong commented on the two in his heart, thinking that Changxinhou pleased the Empress Dowager Yu, and his power was so powerful that his diners and soldiers were naturally arrogant and difficult to tame, and dressing up in a magnificent manner is reasonable. He bowed to Cao Bo and said, "Master Cao is clear, these two people are not from my shop, so please take a look."
Wei Liao glanced at the two of them, and his eyes were quite disdainful. A master like him was very enthusiastic about the general trend of the world, but he asked him to wear gorgeous clothes and gold and silver, and he was disdainful and naturally looked down on them.
Chunyu Jue curled his beautiful little mouth and said disdainfully: "Beast in golden clothes!" This means that these two people have no real skills, they only know how to modify the border, and their clothes are no different from livestock in golden clothes. (Does those modern people who only know how to pursue fashionable clothes deserve these four words? Hehe!)
Cao Bo bowed his fists and replied, "Please rest assured, Shopkeeper Zhou, your store is serious and you can't raise such useless people. I will be impartial. Shopkeeper Zhou, Mr. Liaozi, Mr. Wang, and Ms. Chunyu, you are in charge of official business and cannot take too much responsibility. Let's say goodbye."
"Sir, go slowly." Zhou Chong and the others sent Cao Bo outside the door.
Zhou Chong believed in Cao Bo's character and believed that he would handle it well. He didn't take this matter seriously, just to think it was a small episode, and it would be fine if it was passed.
However, Zhao Gao's appearance a few days later made Zhou Chong frightened. On that day, Zhou Chong was managing the business in the store and saw Zhao Gao heading straight to the store with a few big and thick tiger guards. As soon as they met, he pulled his sharp eunuch's voice and said, "Congratulations to Manager Zhou, congratulations to Manager Zhou."
Zhou Chong hurriedly replied, saying, "Zhou Chong, a grass-roots man, has seen Lord Zhao. May I ask Lord Zhao, where is the joy coming from? The king ordered goods from our store again? This is all due to Lord Zhao's kindness, and Zhou Chong is very grateful."
Zhao Gao smiled and said, "That's not. The king wanted Xuan to summon shopkeeper Zhou. Zhao Gao has been a slave for so many years, but he has never seen the king summoning merchants. Zhou Zhang is the first person in the counter. He is very happy, so happy. Please, Manager Zhou." It was a happy event, but the eunuch who spoke to him was extremely harsh and harsh, which was so ugly.
