Daqin: I have an invincible thermal weapon system

The county governor replied, "Your Majesty, I was indeed negligent in the matter of the law."

"What crime should be committed for dereliction of duty?!"

The county magistrate and others knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Humph! Forgive me, as the county chief, the main responsibility lies with you!"

"You don't even know the consequences of tyranny!"

"The Second Emperor of Qin was cruel and merciless, and the whole world was in rebellion. The root cause is people like you!"

No matter how angry Fusu was, the county magistrate remained calm, as if he was not afraid of being beheaded at all.

Fusu felt more and more that there was something wrong with the person kneeling in front of him.

"Come here, take off their official hats and throw them all into jail!"

Li Xu pleaded, "Your Majesty, if you do this, Handan will be left without a leader, which will have a bad impact!"

"Throw them into jail first. I will send people to investigate and find out what you are up to!"

If tyranny is not eliminated, it will be like a sword hanging over Fusu's head, threatening him at any time.

"promise!"

Pang Luan led the soldiers forward and took away all the officials who were kneeling on the ground.

The county magistrate remained calm, which made Fusu even more suspicious!

"Xiang Yu, send someone to check the county magistrate's residence! The results must be out tomorrow, and then we will deal with the legal issues together!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Only after doing all this did Fusu breathe a sigh of relief.

There are too many problems in the officialdom of Handan.

That night, Fusu held a banquet in Handan City to reward the troops who came!

"In this decisive battle with the Chu army, all the soldiers fought bravely and made great contributions!"

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of a general!" Li Xu said.

During the reign of Qin II, as a Confucian, he did have rebellious thoughts. But now it is different. It is Fusu who has ascended the throne!

There is no need for him to have any more dealings with the remnants of the Zhao State!

Now all you have to do is be loyal and do your job well.

"Okay, let's drink this cup to all the soldiers!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ji and others were casual in nature and did not know any etiquette in the hall, which caused dissatisfaction among some Qin generals. If Fusu had not instructed them, it would have been impossible for the two of them to sit down and drink together.

"Everyone has made great contributions. I would like to toast you again!"

Immediately, a Qin general jumped out and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you can't do this!"

"Today, regardless of your status, please leave."

"Can……"

"Alright, I know you are doing this to protect the emperor's dignity, but today is unusual, there is no need to talk about this!"

The Qin general had to retreat.

In the Qin Dynasty, the hierarchy was strict, and many people were not allowed to even look up at the emperor.

What's more, Fusu Fusu, as the emperor, condescended to offer wine!

Li Xu was also shocked.

"The third cup," Fusu stood up and raised the bronze cup, "to the warriors who died on the battlefield!"

"It was them who defended the dignity of the Qin Empire!"

"You all have to toast!"

"promise!"

Everyone raised their glasses and stood up.

The banquet continued. Everyone chatted and drank occasionally. Some offered suggestions on how to pacify Tiancai. Only Li Xu lay cross-legged the whole time and said nothing.

Just then, a general walked up to Li Xu and whispered something.

Li Xu suddenly clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves and said softly to the general: "You, take people to deal with it immediately. If anything unexpected happens, I will kill you!"

"Yes!" The general retreated.

This scene happened to be seen by Fusu, "My dear, has something happened?"

Li Xu forced himself to remain calm, "Your Majesty, it's just a few thieves causing chaos in the city!"

"Okay, okay, I hope it's nothing serious!" Fusu said this on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart: I don't believe you at all!

He immediately said to the soldiers around him: "Send a few people to keep an eye on Li Xu's men!"

When the banquet was halfway through, Xiao He hurriedly walked in from outside the hall, followed closely by two people carrying a box.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to say. I beg Your Majesty's permission?"

Fusu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Accurate!"

Xiao He immediately ordered someone to open the box, took out the bamboo slips that contained Handan City's tax records over the years, and the records of grain production in various places each year, and held them up high, "Your Majesty... All the tax records in Handan City in recent years are fake, and not a single word of the detailed account numbers is true!"

Fusu slammed the table and stood up, "What?!"

Xiao He continued: "I roughly calculated that at least 50 dan of grain is missing!"

Fusu felt a chill in his heart.

Grain tax is related to the lifeblood of the entire Qin Dynasty, but it was tampered with by someone. According to the time, it has been abnormal since the reign of my father.

Li Xu quickly stepped forward and explained: "When the Second Emperor ascended the throne, tyranny was rampant. Counties and prefectures were forced to work, and no one farmed. This led to starvation everywhere, and the people were living in misery. The officials were afraid of being punished, so they forged the facts!"

This sentence explains the problem very well!

However, Xiao He pointed at Li Xu and said loudly: "I have already included the amount of grain that the Second Emperor collected and transported to the court, including the officials' salaries and military rations. In addition, there is another 500,000 dan that is missing!!"

When Fusu heard this, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"I have arrested many officials for enforcing the law. It seems that the whole Handan is in trouble. Not only the county town, but also the counties have problems!"

Li Xu stopped explaining and returned to his seat.

At the same time, in a dark corner in an alley somewhere in Handan City.

The old ministers of Zhao State gathered together. Chen Yu held a letter in his hand and reported, "The county governor and others have been arrested. In order to ensure our safety, they must be silenced!"

Zhang Er, another former official of the State of Zhao, said: "The prefect has helped us avoid being hunted down by the imperial court's Sima Ling over the years. He is very kind to us!"

"So what if I'm grateful? He's a dog official of the Qin Dynasty! He deserves to be killed!"

In the alley, many men in black gathered, swords in their hands, full of murderous intent!

"Brother Chen, you are confused!"

"I can't care so much now. If the county governor betrays us all, no one will survive! We will all die! The Great Zhao has not yet been revived, and we can't let it be destroyed by a Qin official!"

"Yes!" others echoed.

Only Zhang Er shook his head, "I don't believe the county governor will betray us!"

"Wrong, you are totally wrong. Only the dead can't speak, and they are the safest. My great Zhao royal family has suffered and fallen into the situation of begging. Now is the time to make a decisive move!"
