Chapter 77

If your butt is already crooked, what kind of person are you even trying to be!

Wouldn't it be more satisfying to just be a beast?

And next, Ying Su was going to order Huang Chao to implement this matter across the entire country!

He would have him take Yu Yu Huatian, along with three thousand garrison troops, to collect taxes nationwide!

As for the method, just follow the one used in Xianyang City!

Those who pay their taxes, let them stay!

Those who don't pay taxes! Kill them!

I don't care if you are a descendant of Bai Qi or a descendant of Shang Yang, I don't care if you are a descendant of Zhang Yi or a descendant of Fan Ju!

As long as you don't pay taxes, kill them all!

As for Wang Wang Jian?

That old fox Wang Wang Jian is still very obedient!

Before Huang Chao even reached the door, he had already gone out to welcome him himself.

Not to mention the various ways he entertained him after bringing him into the mansion, he even handed over all the grain harvested this year!

Yes!

It wasn't fifty percent!

It was the entire harvest turned over!

Moreover, he even said some very flowery words!

"Attacking the Xiongnu is something everyone in our Great Qin should do. It's just that I'm old; if I were a few years younger, I would have wanted to go on the expedition myself!"

With this kind of posturing, even Ying Su couldn't help but exclaim that he was an old fox!

057. Nobles paying taxes? Xiang Yu: A good time to rebel!

The Office of the Inner Historian!

Xiao He was absolutely exhausted today.

After all, that was a full 1.2 million shi of grain that needed to be put into storage!

Looking at the now completely full national treasury, Xiao He felt excited, but also couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

The taxes have been collected, but will the nobles really pay them willingly?

They are nobles; they are not commoners, and they are not the type to suffer a loss and stay silent.

Won't they really start a rebellion?

Xiao He was in the middle of worrying!

However, this worry became reality just two days later!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Inside the study, Ying Su was reviewing memorials sent from various places.

Just at this moment, Yu Yu Huatian ran in in a panic!

"What is it?"

Ying Su asked!

Cold sweat streamed down Yu Yu Huatian's head: "The First... the First Emperor has left the palace!"

"Left the palace?"

As the words left his mouth, Ying Su raised his eyebrows slightly.

But even this small movement scared Yu Yu Huatian half to death!

"I... I am incompetent. I clearly arranged for one hundred garrison troops to monitor the First Emperor day and night, yet I still let him escape!"

"He left the palace without anyone noticing, and not a single one of my men was able to detect it beforehand!"

"I... I deserve to die!"

He kowtowed fiercely toward Ying Su!

Ying Su helped him up and laughed: "It's fine, it's fine!"

As he spoke, he brushed the dust off Yu Yu Huatian's knees and said to him:

"You can punish those garrison guards for this matter, but do not punish them too severely!"

"After all, he is the First Emperor, and his influence is deep-rooted!"

"And your men have been formed into an army for less than two months!"

"It is normal that you couldn't keep an eye on him!"

Ying Su said with a smile!

These words moved Yu Yu Huatian to tears, and he kowtowed fiercely to Ying Su again: "Your subject... is incompetent!"

He cried out.

Ying Su then dismissed him.

At this moment, his eyes looked toward the distance.

Right now, his gaze was profound and his expression solemn; no one knew what he was thinking!

Outside Xianyang City.

In a large mansion!

Here, the guards visible in the open alone numbered nearly five hundred!

And the guards hidden in the shadows were countless!

And those responsible for guarding the main gate were two figures familiar to every fan of The Legend of Qin!

Xuan Wang Jian!

Yan Ri!

Besides them, there were countless experts distributed within a fifty-mile radius of the mansion!

Within a fifty-mile radius!

Let alone a person entering.

Not even a fly could fly in.

And inside the courtyard!

Ying Zheng left the palace?

Yes!

He left the palace!

As for rebelling, he still couldn't make up his mind!

The reason he left Xianyanggong was mainly to find some peace and quiet!

Just the day before yesterday, countless people had knelt outside the garden, begging to see him!

Especially the descendants of Bai Qi from years ago!

An old steward, holding a child no more than five or six years old, just knelt there crying.

Crying and shouting that the blood of the Great Qin's Wu'an Lord had been shed in vain.

That the lives of countless Great Qin soldiers had been thrown away for nothing!

The reason they fought so hard was to allow their descendants to enjoy a good life.

But now, not only did they not enjoy any blessings, they had brought disaster upon themselves!

Others cried out that their ancestors had sold their family property to support the Qin state in unifying the world!

But now, after the world was unified, it had brought disaster upon them!

Still others kowtowed until they bled, expressing their grievances!

When Ying Zheng learned of all this, he felt his heart ache as if it were being twisted by a knife.

At that moment, he really wanted to see these descendants of the heroes who unified the world for Great Qin.

But... he wanted to see them again and again, yet stopped himself every time!

He had no face to see them!

Truly, he had no face!

Having no other choice, he could only leave Xianyanggong!

And after leaving the palace, he had Zhao Gao collect the memorials from Xianyang City regarding Ying Su's tax collection!

In just one day, they were all collected!
