But when he repeatedly inspected other places in Xianyang City and even some places in the suburbs, Cao Shen finally set his sights on those places he had never set foot in before.

And at this time, it happened that Yinggao went to Shangjun and was not in Xianyang City, Cao Shen also made a big decision at that time, and then personally led people into several mansions related to the royal family but had been empty.

Originally, there was no problem with this mansion, but under the moonlight that day, the sharp-eyed Cao Shen really saw a few rather shallow footprints, needless to say, these footprints were left by Zhao Cheng when he left here.

Although it was also cleaned up to a certain extent at that time, because the two of them brought a lot of things, it was not very convenient to move, and they were afraid of being discovered, so they left traces and left.

Following these footprints, coupled with Cao Shen's inference, he actually found some secrets in a small hole in a rockery in the back garden of this house, which is located in the middle of a pond that has dried up in this garden, and the pond is already full of weeds more than one person tall at this time, but once he reaches the rockery, he looks inside, and he finds that this rockery is different.

It turned out that the lower part of this rockery was basically empty, and Cao Shen went in to look inside, and the end of the inside was bottomless, and it was just able to accommodate a person to go down.

At that time, Cao Shen went down without saying a word, it was a very deep cave, and when he got to the bottom, Cao Shen didn't know how deep it was, the underground was very spacious and tidy, but only a small beam of light that could shine through the rockery could shine there.

"Yes, and according to the situation at that time, the people here have not been gone for a long time, and according to the situation of the objects in it, I am afraid that some people have lived there for several years, so it seems that the originators of those rumors are probably the people who used to live here, and it is because the king succumbed to those rumors and sent the prince of Hu Hai to Xiangjun, and they left, so it seems that ......"

Because the time point is very clear, Cao Shen's meaning is already very obvious, that is, the people who live here must have gone to Xiangjun, but they didn't say it explicitly, because Yinggao's impression of Hu Hai is not easy to grasp, and it is not Cao Shen's original intention to rashly put forward a guess that he is not sure of.

"Based on the displays and furnishings in the underground room, can we tell where this man came from? Is it the possible Zhao Cheng? Ying Gao did not follow Cao Shen's words to Hu Hai's body, but asked about the identity of the person who once lived underground.

"I can't see any clues from the display in that room, but there is one point, I have done some research on that mansion, the decoration of these mansions around Xianyang Palace was completed under the organization of the CRRC government order, so it seems that this person should be Zhao Cheng."

Although there is no object that can directly prove Zhao Cheng's identity, after Cao Shen's careful investigation, he can almost determine the identity of this person, otherwise it is impossible for so many coincidences to point to him.

"Since it is Zhao Cheng, his purpose is very simple, that is, to subvert my Great Qin."

"That's right, the king must be on guard against this person, Zhao Gao's three clans were all killed by us, just omitted this Zhao Cheng, this Zhao Cheng has a grudge against Daqin and the king in his heart, I don't know how far it has been, plus he is in the dark, and the king is in the light, he should find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible!"

Cao Shen's worries are obviously not unreasonable, since such a big rumor planned by Zhao Chengneng hiding in Xianyang City has almost involved all the princes of Great Qin, and almost caused a full scandal of the Great Qin royal family, then it is difficult to say what moths he can come up with in the future.

"Since this person can come and go freely in the mansions of various princes, and has pocketed many wives, I think this Zhao Cheng still has helpers, these matters of his must have instructed the people under his command to do, otherwise, how can he not be discovered when he shuttles back and forth in Xianyang City and goes to the mansions of various princes?"

Obviously, Ying Gao realized a problem that Cao Shen didn't realize before, Cao Shen thought about it a little, and agreed with Ying Gao's words, obviously, just in the matter of winning so many sons' wives, Zhao Cheng's image must not work, he must have a helper, and he must be a rather good helper.

"Why don't Cao Shen secretly go to the surrounding area of Xiangjun to see if he can get the footprints of this guy?"

What kind of virtue Xiangjun is, Cao Shen knows, and it is simply a fool's dream to rely on the people there to find out about Zhao Cheng, and Cao Shen has always thought that with the relationship between Hu Hai and Zhao Gao before, he and Zhao Cheng must be very familiar.

Once Zhao Cheng arrives in Xiangjun and recognizes Hu Hai, it will not be easy to do it at that time, so now is the best time to take advantage of the fact that Hu Hai may not have a firm foothold in Xiangjun.

"Sir, it's my Great Qin's Xianyang Order, how can you go to a poor country like Xiangjun to take risks? If there was one Zhao Cheng in Xianyang City before, it was difficult to guarantee that there would not be a second Zhao Cheng, and Mr. still gave Xianyang City to me to guard the solid, but I and my wife are all in Xianyang City! ”

Obviously, Yinggao did not agree with Cao Shen's decision, Cao Shen thought about it carefully, what Yinggao said was still very reasonable, he was a Xianyang order, and he was not a general, so he rushed to Xiangjun in case someone recognized him, it would be difficult to say.

But for Zhao Cheng's matter, Cao Shen is still very unwilling, after all, Zhao Cheng can be regarded as running out of his hands, even if he slapped Cao Shen's face, although Cao Shen is good to drink two sips on weekdays, but he is actually thoughtful.

Seeing Cao Shen's very disappointed look, Ying Gao couldn't help but sigh and said: "As early as when I sent Hu Hai to Xiangjun, I had already arranged the affairs over there, and you can only be regarded as scaring the snake when you go at this time, this Zhao Cheng is Zhao Gao's brother, how can I let him get away with it?" This person can lurk under my nose in Xianyang City for several years, and it is understandable that he ran away under your encirclement and interception, and you don't have to blame yourself first, if I really arrest him back in the future, I will definitely hand it over to you to deal with! ”

Cao Shen is the veteran of Yinggao, Yinggao naturally can't let him be aggrieved, originally he didn't want to tell others about Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng's arrangement Yinggao, but today since Cao Shen has already talked to himself about this, if he doesn't tell him, it will be a little too much.

But Cao Shen is so smart, as soon as he heard Yinggao's tone, he thought of something at that time, and asked tentatively: "What does the king mean is that this time you sent Hu Hai Gongzi to Xiangjun, not that you have completely believed in Hu Hai Gongzi, but ......"

"Before this matter is decided, you should not make any guesses, Hu Hai is also my younger brother at this time, the county guard of Xiang County, and may always be my younger brother in the future."

"Cao Shen understands that since this matter has left Xianyang City, it is no longer within the jurisdiction of my Xianyang Order, your Excellency, the investigation of this matter will be over."

"Although this matter has come to an end, and after such a long period of precipitation, the rumors have almost circulated in Xianyang City, and those ladies who have done a terrible thing in the mansion with my brothers behind my back, it is time to deal with it, although these brothers of mine are not successful, but they are not something that these women can deceive at will!"

Cao Shen was just about to leave, but he didn't expect Yinggao's order to be finished, and suddenly the conversation changed, and it was on the wives of these sons. As soon as Cao Shen heard this, he felt a little difficult in his heart, although he was the Xianyang Order, but now the key is that there is no evidence, so let him deal with the wives of those sons, the difficulty can be imagined, because people will not admit what they have done at all.

The aristocratic Cao Shen behind those ladies is not afraid, but if this matter is not done well, it will cause a storm in the city, and it will be the face of Yinggao and the Great Qin royal family, and now this hot potato has fallen into his hands, and Cao Shen has a bitter face at that time.

"Sir don't have to be sorrowful, with the wisdom of Sir, if this matter is not my brother, it would be very easy to solve, right? Sir doesn't have to think of them as the sons of Daqin, if this happens to his own people, what will Sir do, just do it this time! ”

As soon as Cao Shen heard this, he said in his heart that if someone else cursed me like this, I would have been anxious, but the person who was helplessly sitting in front of him was the emperor of Daqin now, so Cao Shen could only humbly ask for advice, not to mention that Yinggao was cursing him from time to time, so saying that it was equivalent to delegating power, Cao Shen did something to the wives of those sons, Yinggao would definitely not pursue it, in order to solve the case.

With Yinggao's assurance, Cao Shen was also relieved, and hurried out immediately, for fear that Yinggao would give him the whole problem that was difficult to solve.

After this night, in less than a few days, Yinggao heard a lot of rumors from Feng Qing, and several sons' wives would have fornications with some unknown men in their own mansions while the prince went out to drink and have fun, and they were caught by the sons who returned to the house halfway for some reason.

Because this kind of thing is really embarrassing, a few sons did not choose to make a statement, but just sent the lady involved back to their parents' house, but there were also a few who were relatively short-tempered, and they almost didn't beat their wives to death at that time.

Although these things happened in the courtyard of the deep house, the people didn't know about it, but a few wives with blue noses and swollen faces who were beaten went to Xianyang Palace to privately ask Feng Qing to intercede, because this matter was really a bit embarrassing, Feng Qing didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only secretly inform Yinggao of this matter when he was sleeping at night.

"Madame don't want to meddle in this matter, how to deal with his wife is the freedom of these Great Qin princes, if they want to keep these women in the mansion, if I don't have any opinion, don't discredit my Great Qin royal family."

Feng Qing didn't expect Yinggao to pay so little attention to his brothers, but his mentality was also lighter, Yinggao's words were meant to tell Feng Qing not to care about these trivial things, these things would eventually have to be decided by those unsuccessful sons, but in the end, if something happened that damaged the face of Yinggao and the Great Qin royal family, Yinggao would definitely have to clean them up.

Under the cold treatment of Ying Gao and Feng Qing, these sons and wives and the nobles behind them naturally did not dare to speak out, and in the end, many of the ladies were returned by the sons of Great Qin, and their family could only endure it silently, after all, it was the women in their own family who were at fault first, right?

As for Yinggao, of course, he can't focus his attention on such a matter, and his mind is almost on Lu Jia, who is about to set off.

In a blink of an eye, more than 20 days passed, and the 500 people sent by Xiang Yu also arrived at the outskirts of Xianyang City as agreed and set up camp.

Like what Xiang Yu promised to Yinggao before, most of these five hundred people were the faces of the Central Plains, led by a young lieutenant under the command of Long He, and they arrived outside Xianyang City with a clear banner.

And Lu Jia in the city here has also deployed the five hundred elite soldiers that Yinggao gave him, and Zhang Kai has also prepared the craftsmen, Yinggao knows that this team carrying his own hopes has come to set off

In this month's time, Lu Jia spent most of his time practicing horseback riding, and forced the imperial historian to practice with him.

In January, Ying Gao personally took Lu Jia and a team of 800 people to the outskirts of Xianyang City to meet with the 500 Xiongnu people, although the cavalry under Xiang Yu did not know Ying Gao before, but the emperor's attire to that station, they couldn't help but remind them of the first emperor's patrol many years ago when they were still in the territory of Great Qin.

The emperor of Great Qin actually came to see off in front of the battle in person, and the importance of this matter is naturally self-evident, the five hundred people under Xiang Yu's command were still a little pessimistic about this exploration of the barren land, but when they looked at it this way, they suddenly had a lot of confidence, they all saw Great Qin's confidence and determination in this matter, the emperor came out, can this thing still be done?
