"How did this happen in less than three months? And I didn't even hear about it, and at the banquet before, those sisters didn't hear about it, and it only spread among the sons, I'm afraid it's ......"

Yang Zi didn't say what she was worried about in the end, but what she was thinking about, of course Yinggao knew.

"It doesn't matter, at most, there are already some remnants of latent anti-Qin forces, taking advantage of my absence in Xianyang to set off this storm, but it's just a small fight, if any of your brothers and younger brothers really have such courage and courage, I feel a little relieved for my father."

When Yinggao mentioned his brothers, it was obvious that there was a deep disdain in his eyes, which made Yangzi not very happy, although the rest of the brothers were not as close to Yinggao as Yinggao, but after all, they were also their brothers, right? And what Yinggao said always made her feel that Yinggao didn't seem to be their brother.

"Brother, have you ever thought that such a rumor has reached the ears of Brother Fusu, Brother Fusu has been very fond of my brothers and sisters since childhood, if Brother Fusu learns about this, will he have any thoughts about his brother in his heart?"

In the past two years, following Yinggao and Han Xin's side, it has invisibly improved Yangzi's consciousness by a grade compared to before, because Han Xin has dealt with Fusu, so he often mentions the situation of Fusu's return to Nanhai County when chatting with Yangzi.

Therefore, Yang Zi knows what kind of power Fusu has in Nanhai County, once such rumors are passed on to Fusu's ears in a targeted manner, it is difficult to guarantee that Fusu will not have a gap with Yinggao, and Fusu's hands have hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers.

"Brother Fusu is naturally different from them, I believe that even if such news reaches Brother Fusu's ears, he should have the ability to discern, what kind of emperor I am, he naturally knows in his heart."

Yang Zi suddenly found that the current Yinggao seemed to be more domineering than the Yinggao she knew before, no matter what happened, she couldn't see a trace of eagerness on her brother's face, but Yangzi's heart was not happy for Yinggao, but there was an inexplicable worry, worried that Yinggao would become the next person like the first emperor.

After expressing some worries, Yang Zi could only temporarily leave Xianyang Palace and return to her mansion, she didn't know what the fate of her brothers would be in the end, and she didn't know why such rumors were spread among the children of the Ying family.

After this banquet, almost all of the dozen or so sons of Great Qin also stopped, and they knew that if they expressed their dissatisfaction with Yinggao in private, not only would they not let Yinggao improve their treatment, but also give them a fief to live freely in a place as they envisioned, on the contrary, it was very likely to cause death to themselves.

As a result, they did not have any contact with each other for a short period of time, and the rumors seemed to have subsided temporarily, but Yinggao knew that this matter was not so simple.

Why does every son seem to think that rumors are coming out of their mouths? What the hell is going on?

One night after nearly half a month after the banquet, Yinggao sat on the top of the main hall, opposite him was a figure who did not appear here often, and even the Zhu family did not appear next to Yinggao, which was enough to see that this was a secret meeting.

"Sir, have you found some clues in the past month and a half? The rumors passed among the many sons must not have come up with them spontaneously, there must be someone among them who is threading the needle, if they can find the person who threads the needle, this matter will be solved, otherwise with the minds and hearts of those sons, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a greater movement in the future. I can't always watch them in Xianyang City, and if I can't solve it for a long time, I will be taboo even when I go out on patrol. ”

Ying Gao sighed after speaking, such an enemy hidden in the shadows is really a headache for him, you didn't notice when people were jumping outside, but when you reflected, people didn't know where to hide, now such a character will not die down, people are hiding just to see when you take your attention away from them again.

"In the past half a month, I have used almost all the eyeliner secretly arranged in Xianyang City, but the strange thing is that I have not found any suspicious people, although the life of these sons on weekdays is very monotonous, but the scope of activities is not small, many low-level officials in the city are still very happy to communicate with these sons, but I have thoroughly investigated these officials, but I still haven't found it."

The person sitting opposite Yinggao raised his head and replied, it was Cao Shen, who had been working silently in the position of Xianyang Ling for a short time.

The number of times Cao Shen entered Xianyang Palace alone is actually not a lot, but no one else knows, and most of them are at night, as long as he enters Xianyang Palace, it is either Yinggao has something more important, or he has something more important.

After several years of arrangement, Cao Shen has almost cleaned up Xianyang City, which was previously controlled by Zhao Gao and Yan Le and does not know how many hands and feet he has done, in the position of Xianyang Ling, and his contribution is actually not much less than Xiao He.

It's just that Xiao He's work is all face-saving and can be seen by the courtiers, but Cao Shen has always reported to Yinggao alone, and what he cleared and mastered was the shady scenes of some ordinary people and ordinary people in Xianyang City.

Of course, Yinggao knew that what Cao Shen did was very thankless, so although Cao Shen had also strongly objected, Yinggao still gave Cao Shen the position of Xianyang Ling, which was regarded by many people and even Xiao He himself as Yinggao gave Cao Shen this position because of Xiao He.

In the eyes of the courtiers of Great Qin, Cao Shen is a man of wine and meat, he is not like Xiao He, who has done his best for the internal affairs of Great Qin, and he is very thin when he is tired, but he drinks in the mansion every day, and he almost doesn't care about the affairs of the Great Qin court.

Of course, the real Cao Shen is known what kind of Yinggao, and there are some disguises, it is Yinggao who asked him to do that, what is called secret operation, if everyone sees it, of course it is not called secret operation.

Cao Shen said that he didn't find out about this, but Ying Gao didn't expect it, he thought that Cao Shen's control of Xianyang City had reached the point where he couldn't run out of his palm even if there was a little wind and grass, but now it seems that it is still almost hot.

"Alas, don't be anxious, sir, this person didn't cause a bigger movement in Xianyang City, I think I'm afraid to show me and others any clues, but I believe that he will not hide for too long, since he has decided to use my brother's line, there will definitely be his next step, I just need to watch from the sidelines."

Yinggao obviously didn't blame Cao Shen for not finding anything, because this matter was originally a difficult matter, the enemy was in the dark, what could you do?

"Your Excellency, don't be disappointed first, this investigation, I have found an extraordinary thing, although I am not sure, and I don't know if it is related to this matter, but I should still inform you."

Cao Shen did not have any embarrassment because he investigated this matter, but showed a smile, Yinggao knew at a glance, Cao Shen should have discovered a very important thing this time, otherwise although Cao Shen is an optimistic and cheerful character, he will definitely not smirk when his task is not completed well.

"Isn't that a quick one?" The communication with Cao Shen has always made Yinggao very relaxed, because of Cao Shen's relaxed words and optimistic temperament, but such a character will also bring some other influences, for example, Cao Shen is more able to sell Guanzi, which Yinggao can't stand a little.

"Do you remember Zhao Gao?"

"Zhao Gao? This guy has already been given poisoned wine by me and died, I was by his side at the time, this will never be wrong, you don't want to say anything Zhao Gao is not dead, borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul, I don't believe that set of words. ”

"Zhao Gao is naturally dead, and Zhao Gao and all the people in Yan Le's Mansion were beheaded by the First Emperor at that time, and the three clans were razed, which was a major event that caused a sensation in Xianyang City at that time. But the punishment of the three clans, I'm afraid that the king was not on the scene to supervise the punishment, right? ”

When he said this, Cao Shen's eyes flashed with a trace of essence, obviously, he found that this problem was not very simple.

"According to Mr., there was a flaw in the punishment of killing Zhao Gao's three clans, and some of Zhao Gao's three clans fled?"

What kind of mind is Yinggao, although Cao Shen has not finished speaking, but he guessed the reason for this incident at once, and indeed, in this era, the punishment of killing the three clans, that is, a large number of people were arrested together, killed together, when arresting them, because of the large number of people, the arresting people did not have such a highly recognizable judgment method as the photos more than 2,000 years later, so the situation that Cao Shen said is very likely to occur.

Ying Gao still remembered clearly at the beginning that after he saw that Zhao Gao's psychological defense line had been completely defeated by himself, he didn't care about other things, and he didn't go to kill Zhao Gao's three clans because the situation at the scene was too bloody, and Zhao Gao's three clans except for Yan Le, although he had seen some, he was not very familiar with them.

Listening to Yinggao's slightly excited question, Cao Shen gritted his teeth and nodded gently, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence to this matter, and his face finally showed a rare solemnity.

Zhao Gao's clan ran away, how big this is, but anyone who knows what happened back then will understand it.

What kind of person is Zhao Gao, that is the person who can hide his identity by the side of the First Emperor for more than 20 years in order to make the First Emperor and his descendants pay the price, which is enough to see how deep his hatred for Great Qin and the First Emperor is.

He hated the First Emperor so much, hated Great Qin, and his clansmen were naturally no exception, and now, with the addition of a blood feud that killed Zhao Gao's three clans, how much the escapee hated Yinggao, there is no need to describe it in words, and it can't be described, because it is too deep.

"Who?" Cao Shen didn't say it directly, obviously not deliberately hanging Yinggao's appetite, but to make Yinggao have a psychological preparation, because this incident happened for so long and was suddenly discovered, and the impact on Yinggao must be very big.

"Most of this person is Zhao Gao's younger brother, and he also served in Xianyang City before, but he is not Zhao Cheng, who is an important official......"

"Zhao Cheng ......"

After Ying Gao heard this name, he muttered and repeated, he has an impression of this person, not only a little impression in this life, but also in the history books he knew in his previous life, he also has a lot of impressions, because in the history of his previous life, it was Zhao Gao's brother Zhao Cheng who followed Yan Le to kill Hu Hai.

And the reason why Yinggao didn't pay attention to this Zhao Cheng before was because he was not like Yan Le, who played a very important position in Zhao Gao's power group, but had been appearing as a low-level official of Great Qin who relied on his brother's position by the side of the First Emperor.

For such a person, Yinggao is of course too lazy to take care of him. I've only heard of it a few times, but I haven't even seen it once.

"How did you find out, and how sure are you?"

"Originally, I have been investigating the slander of many princes in the past few days, but I have no clue, and it is a coincidence that a team of people I placed in Zhao Guo's hometown a few days ago suddenly sent back the news, saying that a person who was similar to Zhao Cheng, who was an official in Xianyang City before, was found in Zhao Guo's hometown, if it wasn't for the official I sent who had served with Zhao Cheng before, I am afraid that I would not have found it this time."

"Then why not catch it?"

"This person is very cunning, I think it was the night that I found the official, and he disappeared that night, and then they investigated the hometown of Zhao State, and found that this person had just arrived in the hometown of Zhao State for a few months, and he did not have my Daqin's household registration, but sneaked into the city, and most of them sneaked in from the direction of Xianyang City, so I sent the news back, but according to the speed of news transmission, if that person is really Zhao Cheng, I am afraid that he has traveled back and forth between Xianyang and Zhao Guo's hometown many times......"

"So, there's no complete evidence, just the official's words?"

"This person should not do things without purpose."
