At the end of the unitary period, Chen Xu came out of the palace under the leadership of the confessor and the chamberlain.

At that time, the dinner party had already ended, and the ministers who participated in the dinner had already dispersed and returned to their homes to rest, Qin Shi Huang specially left Chen Xu to drink tea and exchange for half an hour, and Chen Xu also took the opportunity to give the emperor a set of gods adapted by himself and Shui Qingrou.

Looking at Qin Shi Huang's expression when he opened it, Chen Xu knew that Qin Dada estimated that he would not sleep tonight, because this kind of thing would be addictive.

And the list of gods is also a big killer to solve the mystery in Qin Shi Huang's heart, and the content written in it even thinks that future generations are true, in this era when the theory of immortals is prevalent, it is easy to bluff people and can't climb out.

A carriage stopped outside the palace and had been waiting outside for a long time, surrounded by several guards with big waists and round waists and wearing leather armor, Yu Wuya and Yingbu also stood beside them with their horses, and when they saw Chen Xu coming out, they hurriedly came up together to say hello.

"Let's go, go home!" Chen Xu got into the carriage, and Yu Wuya and Yingbu also turned over and got on their horses to follow.

Before Chen Xu came to Xianyang, Qin Shi Huang had prepared a mansion for him, just in the southeast of Xianyang City, it was a huge mansion covering an area of 100 acres, a high-walled compound built of bluestone, dozens of houses in the interior, hidden in the flowers and trees, and a huge garden at the entrance, a pond in the middle of the garden, with pavilions and corridors, which was simply luxurious.

However, this mansion is not newly repaired, but a celebrity lived in the past, and the celebrity was called Lu Buwei, so this place was originally called Lu Xiangfu, but now after renovation, the plaque of Lu Mansion is long gone, even if all the traces of Lu in the mansion have been cleared.

Lü Buwei, such an awesome figure in history, and he is also a contradictory figure that Qin Shi Huang respects and hates.

It can be said that the glory of Great Qin and the status of Qin Shi Huang today are completely caused by Lü Buwei.

However, this character did not end well, and committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine.

Therefore, Chen Xu was full of entanglement with Qin Shi Huang giving this Lu Xiangfu to himself, let's live, what a special diaphragm, don't live, it's not easy to shirk, is it ...... Qin Shi Huang was dissatisfied with himself?

In fact, for Lü Buwei, Qin Shi Huang's heart was also full of contradictions, and he didn't want to kill him, but he just didn't worry about him, because even if Lü Buwei was removed from the post of prime minister, there were too many doormen, and there were too many officials in the court who sympathized with Lü Buwei, Qin Shi Huang was afraid that Lü Buwei would threaten his royal power, so he asked him to move to Shu with his family, saying that he never wanted to see him, and at the same time wrote a letter to severely reprimand, so on the way to Shu, Lü Buwei was afraid that Qin Shi Huang's resentment would accumulate more and more, and finally destroy his three clans, so he simply drank poison himself and poisoned himself, so that Qin Shi Huang would never have the opportunity to poison his family again.

Lü Buwei thought well, after his death, Qin Shi Huang remembered the old feelings, and really did not embarrass the descendants of the Lu family, in fact, Qin Shi Huang should be said to be a soft-hearted person, and even the disciples who were raised by Chang Yu returned to Xianyang.

The character of Lü Buwei is quite high in China's historical evaluation, and it can be said that he is a magical existence, whether it is a strange commodity to support Qin Shi Huang's father Yiren to return to the country and ascend to the throne, or the animal keeper compiling "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" to reward a thousand words of gold for a mistake, it can be seen that his magic is not as simple as ordinary magic.

Later generations respected him as the head of the miscellaneous family, and this work is eclectic, absorbing the strengths of all families, and Confucianism, and the name of the law, which is both a history book and a statecraft, but unfortunately Qin Shi Huang did not like it, so it was discarded, and it was handed down for future generations to understand the culture of the pre-Qin period of the famous classics.

Although Lü Buwei is the prime minister of the country, he is also a wealthy businessman, so the mansion is also built in luxury, which can be called the first ...... in Xianyang In addition to opening the Royal Palace.

But at the moment, with such a big mansion, Chen Xu felt that it was always haunted inside, and he had this feeling from the moment he entered the door, feeling that there was something bad at work in the gloomy.

The carriage drove into the courtyard and stopped at the door of a huge room, the two leather lanterns hanging on the lintel were constantly swaying in the cold night wind, the surrounding trees and flowers made a popping sound, and all kinds of strange sounds came from all directions, and Chen Xu's hairs stood on end.

"What's in the bushes?" Chen Xu pointed to the dark bushes and asked with some horror.

"Night birds? Either it's a weasel! Yingbu next to him glanced at it and said lightly.

"Impossible, why do you keep making noises!" Chen Xu didn't believe it.

"Engong don't be nervous, I'll take a look!" Yu Wuya naturally heard the voice in the bushes, although he felt similar to Yingbu, it should be a wild thing, but as Chen Xu's most trusted person, he still decided to take a look.

Yu Wuya burrowed into the grove a few feet away, and after a while, he walked out with a strange face with a strange face holding a thing that was still struggling and shaking, "Engong, it's a rabbit!" ”

"Gong Chen, you see I'm not wrong!" Yingbu said with a smile of relief.

Chen Xu also breathed a sigh of relief and said curiously: "Could it be that this rabbit is tied inside?" Otherwise, the black rumbling will be caught by you so easily? ”

"Hey, Engong, you actually said that this rabbit was tied to a small tree with a thin hemp rope, and half-hung in it and kept kicking, so that it made such a continuous sound!" Yu Wuya said in surprise.

"Huh?!" Chen Xu and Yingbu were stunned at the same time.

"It is estimated that someone caught it and tied it inside, Engong let's go, just make a meal of braised rabbit meat tomorrow!" Yu Wuya said heartlessly.

Chen Xu also felt that it should be like this, so he asked a few guards to disperse first, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage away, and then the three of them went down a straight corridor to a building.

"Listen, there's another voice!" didn't go far, Chen Xu heard a sparse noise in the woods next to him, which sounded particularly terrible in the middle of the night.

"I'll take a look!" This time, Yingbu directly pulled out his long sword and drilled into it, and after a while, he also came out with a strange look and carried a lively thing.

It was a fox, and it had a half-rope tied to its leg.

The situation was almost exactly the same twice in a row, but this time not only Yu Wuya's face became solemn, but even Chen Xu felt very wrong.

"Yingbu, is there a habit of tying small animals when moving to a new house?" Chen Xu looked at the rabbit and fox in the hands of Yu Wuya and Yingbu and asked with a few cheeks.

"I haven't heard of it, at least we don't have this habit in Chudi!" Yingbu replied.

Yu Wuya also shook his head: "Wuya has never heard of such a strange custom anywhere!" ”

Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a while and said: "It seems that someone did it on purpose, we just came to Xianyang today, and we didn't stay in this mansion for more than an hour, and the guards and servants inside were all arranged by the emperor, and there must be someone wrong with them!" ”

"Engong, you said the emperor wanted to scare you?" Yu Wuya couldn't help but say.

"Can you not think about it, what did the emperor scare me about, although these guards and servants were all arranged by order of the emperor, they were definitely not arranged directly by him, there must be some people with bad intentions and secretly doing it!"

"Dare!" Yu Wuya's body suddenly permeated with a murderous aura, and he pinched the rabbit in his hand to death with a click, and then said viciously, "Don't worry, I'll go find out the perpetrator and hack it to death!" ”

Chen Xu grabbed Yu Wuya and said, "What are you excited about?" How can you find the black lights and blind fire, and besides, there are dozens of houses in this mansion, and there are hundreds of guards and servants, how can you tell the difference? Don't mess up, tomorrow you go to the Tongwu Marquis Mansion to call Wang San, Wang Si and others over, and then search the mansion carefully, don't startle the snake for the time being! ”

"Brother Yu, what Chen Gong said is right, it's too late today, it's not too late to inquire slowly tomorrow, if someone really has bad intentions and is secretly doing it, we must find out and find the source, otherwise I'm afraid someone will secretly frame Chen Gongye!" Yingbu also pressed the long sword on his waist with a cold face and said coldly.

Because the former Lu Xiangfu was too big and there were too many rooms, Chen Xu could only let the official family arrange a large room casually, with several bedrooms, including the study and living room, and even in the study, the bookshelves and wooden boxes were also full of all kinds of old classics, bamboo and wood slips and cloth, but many of them had been eaten and bitten by mice, and the cloth and silk books were even more moth-eaten.

It seems that the emperor is thoughtful, but his subordinates are really perfunctory, and the renovation is too careless, this study has not been touched at all, and it may be too late.

Chen Xu, Yu Wuya and the others, led by a middle-aged man with an honest and loyal face, carried a lantern in their hands and hastily looked at the inside and outside of the big house, and then a maid came over with hot water, linen and a change of clothes to serve the three of them to wash.

Because he was afraid that some of these people would be unfavorable to Chen Xu, Yu Wuya directly drove out a few maids who served in the bath and let Chen Xu wash himself, although Chen Xu was a little disappointed, but for the sake of his own life, he still temporarily gave up the life style of the rotten feudal bureaucratic landlord who was touched by a few pairs of gentle little hands and took a bath, and lay in a big wooden barrel and soaked in a hot bath comfortably, while slowly recalling in his mind what kind of person would tie a few small animals to scare himself, and such a big house, There must not be just a rabbit and a fox, there are too many flowers and trees in the prime minister's house, maybe seventeen or eighteen will be found tomorrow.

Who the hell is it?

Could it be that Lao Tzu is a breed that can be frightened by a few small animals?

It seems that it is necessary to buy some slaves to train themselves, and there are guards, and there must be people among them who have misbehaved against themselves, and the coachman must also be replaced......

Chen Xu thought while washing, and finally felt that the biggest driver of this matter might be Zhao Gao or Meng Yun.

There are only these two characters in Xianyang City who have conflicts with themselves at the moment, and the others, including Li Si, although there may be a conflict of ideas, but it will definitely not be now, he has just entered Xianyang, and he is not even an official, and there is no threat to them, if it is because he blocked an agricultural decree that is ready to be enforced tonight and causes Li Si to be unhappy, he will not be able to do it so quickly, not to mention, the dignified Great Qin Zuoxiang, I am afraid he will not be able to do this kind of thing by using a little rabbit to scare others, The main thing is that it's too embarrassing.

Li Si does not know much about Chen Xu, and the evaluation of him in history is also mixed, but on the whole, the wealth and strength of the Great Qin from the unification to the fall of the period are closely related to him, and this person in addition to the implementation of the Legalist concept, persuaded Qin Shi Huang to give up the feudal kings and adopt the county system, and then vigorously promote the measures of the same book, the same track, and the same degree, and finally condensed the Chinese nation into a whole, and completely broke the sequelae of the feudal system. It laid a solid foundation for China to become a unified country in the wars of division and merger for more than 2,000 years.

If there was no Li Si, perhaps there would not be the glory of the Han Empire behind.

And the most important thing is that Li Si has only been from Tingwei to become the left minister for only two years, although the power is huge, but he has not yet reached the ability to speak above the court, and there are many people who do not agree with the concept of Jiuqing and hundreds of officials, so he has also been cautious, and he is in the time of cultivating his own henchmen.

What's more important is that Li Si's popularity festival is not bad, it can be seen from the "Book of Exhortations" he presented to Qin Shi Huang, he can be regarded as a righteous gentleman, and he can be regarded as a good official, at least he has always done a good job in selecting talents regardless of status and status, safeguarding the interests of ordinary people, weakening the powerful, etc., but there is a great stain on this person, that is, he mentioned Jiangbei Pavilion at the beginning, he poisoned his senior brother Han Feizi, although it was a last resort, but it can be seen that character and integrity are not two things in one, that isAlthough Li Si has the heart of serving the country and the people, his character is not flawless, as the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, otherwise after the death of Qin Shi Huang under the persuasion of Zhao Gao, he would not have partnered to revise the edict.

Therefore, from Chen Xu's limited understanding, Li Si can be a person, but he cannot be an ally, because of his character.

Except for Li Si, there is no longer anyone in the Manchu Dynasty who will be unfavorable to him when he first comes to Xianyang.

Could it be that Wang Jian is playing around with that old killer, didn't I hear that he was about to hang up?

Chen Xu thought about it for a while, and felt that he really couldn't find the slightest clue, so he went to sleep on the kang after taking a bath.

In the living room of the front hall, Yu Wuya was holding an iron sword and meditating on the cushion.

Outside, the stars and moon were dim and the cold wind was howling, the trees and flowers were all swaying constantly, and there was a faint sound of countless snakes, rats, insects and ants crawling, making Chen Xu feel like sleeping in a barren mountain and wilderness, there were ghosts everywhere on the bed and under the bed, on the cabinet and bench, all of them were in various postures looking at him and grinning.
