Shang Tu doesn't seem to be able to survive, and he can't be used as a witness, but the signed confession left behind is definitely an important piece of evidence, although it is not reliable to rely on this confession alone to bring down Zhao Gao, but it is much better than nothing.

"Brother Wuya, Steward Chen, you two also take a look together!" Chen Xu handed the confession to Yu Wuya and Chen Ping, and after the two of them took it, they also read it quickly at a glance.

"Engong, I really didn't expect this Zhao Gao to be a Mo disciple, and he is also a leader!" Yu Wuya was amazed.

"It doesn't matter whether he is a Mo disciple or not, but he is trying to destroy the position of the eldest prince, and is ready to wait for the emperor to support a cowardly prince to come to power after the death of the emperor so that it can be easily controlled, once this kind of great rebellion reaches the ears of the emperor, I am afraid it will be a serious crime of the three clans!" Chen Ping, whose face twitched slightly, said with some horror.

Chen Xu shook his head: "You think too simply, now that Shang Tu's life is on the verge of dying, he will never be able to go to the court to testify against Zhao Gao in person, just with an inexplicable confession can not completely kill Zhao Gao, the so-called snake will not die will be counterattacked, Zhao Gao is a royal family member, and he is in a high position, it is not easy to kill him, so even with this confession, we have to think of other ways, and this matter will be talked about slowly!" ”

"Engong, since Shang Tu had already guessed that Zhao Gao might kill him, why didn't he take out this confession in prison, as long as Shang Tu testified against Zhao Gao in person, I'm afraid that ten of Zhao Gao's heads would also be cut off!" Yu Wuya couldn't help but say.

"Brother Yu thinks too simply, this confession is thrown out, Shang Tu will definitely die, plotting to usurp the throne This kind of thing must be the capital crime of the three clans, Shang Tu for the life of the three clans, naturally he will not be so confused, not to mention that he and Zhao Gao have already colluded, when he was in prison, Zhao Gao must have secretly told him not to talk nonsense, and he will definitely promise to help rescue and other words, so Shang Tu also has a hope, but Shang Tu has been an official for decades, so naturally he will not fully believe Zhao Gao's words, so he secretly left this confession record, If Zhao Gao keeps his promise, he can find an opportunity to let people take this confession away from the Tingwei prison after peace, but if Zhao Gao kills him, this will remain in the Tingwei Mansion prison, and it will inevitably be discovered over time, and Zhao Gao will naturally be involved at that time, and there are many people who are incompatible with Zhao Gao in the Manchu Dynasty, and there will definitely be a stone in the well when the time comes, from this confession, Zhao Gao's hatred is not only Hou Ye, he hates the most is the imperial historian Meng Yi, as well as the left minister Li Si and the right minister Feng Quji! The resourceful Chen Ping instantly pointed out Yu Wuya's mistake.

"Why is Zhao Gao so ruthless?" Chen Xu felt a little inexplicable, that is to say, judging from the confession written by Shang Tu, Zhao Gao hated all the people who were higher and more powerful than him, is this bastard who hates officials and is addicted?

"Master Hou, I have heard a little about this matter, I heard that Zhao Gao committed a big crime a few years ago when he was still in the order of the CRRC government, and the emperor handed Zhao Gao over to Meng Yi to deal with, and Meng Yi sentenced Zhao Gao to death according to the law, but I don't know why Zhao Gao did not die later, and the official was reinstated!" Chen Ping said.

"And this?" Chen Xu was stunned for a long time, his eyebrows trembled a few times, his face quickly relaxed, and said, "Let's go, go back to the house first!" ”

Arrange a few guards to be optimistic about this abandoned mansion, Chen Xu got into the carriage and took Chen Ping and Yu Wuya back to his house, and walked out of the woods along a barren and grassy abandoned road, Chen Xu looked back at the black high eaves and thick walls and collapsed eaves hidden in the woods, and couldn't help but say in confusion: "Brother Wuya, how did you find this place, this place is so close to Xianyang City, there is such a big abandoned mansion hidden, and it looks like it was originally a Houfu Annex!" That's weird! Isn't there anyone who wants such a nice place? ”

"If Ping is not mistaken, this should be the courtyard where Changxin Hou Changyu was outside the city!" Chen Ping, who was also sitting in the carriage, said.

"Chen Ping is right, I asked the farmers a few miles away, this is indeed Chang Yu's courtyard at the beginning, I heard an old man say, he also worked as a helper in Chang Yu's mansion at the beginning, and often saw Chang Yu riding a carriage between Yongcheng and Xianyang, stopping in this courtyard halfway, and even saw the Empress Dowager Zhao's car occasionally coming, sometimes staying in the house for several days......" Yu Wuya nodded with interest.

"Nonsense, how could Empress Dowager Zhao blatantly come to Chang Yu's mansion and stay for a few days!" Chen Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Chang Yu is the Empress Dowager Zhao's concubine is good, and because of the special ability, the legend can be used as an axle to turn the wheel, but the relationship between the two is not bright after all, I am afraid that Qin Shi Huang will find out after a long time in the palace, so the Empress Dowager Zhao asked to settle in Yongcheng, so that Chang Yu became the actual controller of Yongcheng, and also gave birth to two sons with the Empress Dowager Zhao, but this kind of thing must not let the King of Qin know at that time, and he will definitely not stay in Chang Yu's house halfway, because it is too close to Xianyang.

"Hou Ye is reasonable, but because of the absurd relationship between Changxin Hou and Empress Dowager Zhao, there are many folk legends, and the old man is estimated to be false, whether he is a helper of Changxin Houfu is uncertain! But this is the annex of Changxin Houfu, which should be undoubted, otherwise such a good location and environment, it should not be unwanted. Chen Ping echoed.

"It seems that this place should be safe for the time being, after you go back, arrange a few cooks and servants to bring some food and clothing to settle Shang Qi's family, just when the time comes, I will completely trample Zhao Gao to death!" Chen Xu said fiercely.

"Master Hou, why are you so resentful of Zhao Gao, did you have a grudge before?" Chen Ping was puzzled.

"Well, this revenge is not shared, you also read the confession just now, this bastard has the heart of rebellion and usurpation, once he succeeds in his treacherous scheme, I will definitely not be able to stay in the court, and I may also be assassinated by him, he will not die, I will not be able to sleep and eat!"

"Also, this kind of person is in the position of the Nine Emperors of the Imperial Court, which is indeed a huge scourge!" Chen Ping nodded slightly.

"Engong, in fact, why bother so much, if I directly use an explosive bag to secretly put it into Zhao Gao's bedroom in the middle of the night, I will take revenge!" Yu Wuya was very disdainful that Chen Xu had made a matter so troublesome and complicated.

assassinated Zhao Gao before, it was because Chen Xu had not completely killed Zhao Gao's strength.

But now it's different, Chen Xu is one of the few marquis masters of Great Qin, and his servants guard hundreds of people, and his strength is only stronger than Zhao Gao, even if the two mansions are fighting, they can kill Zhao Gao, and now Chen Xu has also researched gunpowder, and the dozens of catties of gunpowder in Wancheng blew up a big pit on the ground with a radius of several zhang, if one is lost in Zhao Gao's bedroom in the middle of the night, Zhao Gao will definitely not escape death, that is to say, the strength of the two sides has now undergone a huge change, Zhao Gao is still that Zhao Gao, but Chen Xu is no longer that Chen Xu.

"Can you not be so violent, it's easy to kill Zhao Gao, but you're not afraid that the emperor will be suspicious of me, and release the Taiyi Divine Thunder casually for no reason, which will cause huge panic and chaos, and convince people with virtue Do you understand?" Chen Xu said angrily.

"What kind of virtue do you talk about with people like Zhao Gao, it can be seen from the matter of Shang Tu and Ao Ping, Zhao Gao is a villain without virtue and righteousness!" Yu Wuya shook his head disdainfully.

"The villain is terrible!" Chen Ping next to him answered.

"Hehe, villains are not scary, the scariest thing is hypocrites!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Hypocrites? Why? Chen Ping and Yu Wuya both looked at Chen Xu with puzzled faces, with expressions that needed to be explained by Hou Ye.

"A gentleman, there are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and belief in the five virtues, so the virtuous person is called a gentleman, a hypocrite, that is, a person who seems to have five virtues, this kind of person seems to be gentle and courteous, full of benevolence and morality, and his behavior is reasonable, but his heart is insidious and vicious, once he offends this kind of person, he will always be remembered and framed, and many people can't see the true face of this kind of person, so once you plan to expose him, there will be countless people who are blinded by him to accuse you, so this kind of hypocrite who deceives the world and steals his name is the most terrible...... ”

"Master Hou said it thoroughly!" Chen Ping nodded thoughtfully.

"Engong, is it just that Zhao Gao is a hypocrite?" Yu Wuya made a statement.

Chen Xu nodded and then shook his head: "Zhao Gao can also be regarded as one, in fact, he is at most a real villain, a real hypocrite, even more terrible than him, above the court today, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all hypocrites!" ”

"Master Hou, what you said is too exaggerated! The Manchu Dynasty is a hypocrite, so isn't the world without virtue? Chen Ping couldn't help but say out loud in surprise.

"You haven't stepped into the officialdom and the court, once you step in, you know, one by one seems to be polite, but one by one is like a jackal, tiger and leopard, always looking at their opponents ready to fall into the ground, this is the nature of politicians, if it weren't for the emperor's favor, Zhao Gao would have been trampled into meat sauce long ago, so the court is difficult to mix, step by step is like walking on thin ice, everything must be careful, even if there are good ideas, good strategies, they can only be slowly realized step by step, if there are more people offended, I am afraid the end will be very miserable, Just like the death of Ao Ping this time, he offended Meng Yi because of Meng Yun's matter, and was caught by Meng Yi and trampled on nearly 100 people of the three clans, so don't think that you can do whatever you want in a high position, the stronger you are, the higher you climb, the worse you may fall, the Shang Ying at the beginning, Lu Buwei later, Han Feizi in front of you, there is Ao Ping nearby, who is pampered and arrogant, will inevitably die more miserably, the battle of the court is a hundred times more sinister than the battlefield, you have to remember! Chen Xu turned his head to look at Chen Ping.

"Thank you Lord Hou for reminding me, I must remember Master Hou's teachings today!" Chen Ping is a brilliant person, Chen Xu's words are simple and clear, he naturally understands it, and at the same time feels a cold sweat on his back.

"Engong is also above the court, isn't that Engong also a hypocrite!" Yu Wuya looked at Chen Xu excitedly.

"Well, pour a month's worth of night pots when you go back!" Chen Xu nodded kindly.

"Engong, you are really a hypocrite!" Yu Wuya's face was twisted like a shoehorn.
