Chapter 431 Give the other party a chance

After all, these two counties are connected to Nanhai County, and Nanhai County will be the absolute center of the southern part of the Qin Dynasty several years later in Ying Gao's mind. However, at this stage, Ying Gao's idea cannot be revealed.

Just when Ying Gao was in a good mood, after just leaving the court one day, Cao Shen ran to Ying Gao's hall for the first time.

When Ying Gao saw that Cao Shen had come at this time, he knew that he must have received some first-hand news. He hurriedly put down his work and sent everyone around him out.

"Your Majesty, during the conversation between the young masters these days, there have been some words similar to the previous rumors!" Obviously, Cao Shen, who received this news, was quite excited, because the appearance of such rumors means that the master who was hiding behind the scenes has begun to move again. To put it further, the mastermind behind the scenes has arrived in Xianyang City again.

"What kind of rumor is it? Have you investigated it carefully?"

"The rumors this time were caused by the immigration strategy of the emperor this time. The immigration strategy caused a very heated discussion among the people of Xianyang City. These young men were no exception. It was not exceptional before, but suddenly, they actually talked about this immigration, such as Guilin, Xiangjun and Bashu, and naturally, heavyweights were needed to take charge, just like the young men in Nanhai County. People with such status and status are undoubtedly the brothers of these young men in their eyes!"

"When did I become brothers with them!"

What surprised Cao Shen was that after Cao Shen finished saying this, Ying Gao actually sighed with angrily, but before Cao Shen could say anything, Ying Gao immediately said another sentence: "I only have Yang Zi, the real sister!"

In this way, Cao Shen could understand Ying Gao. After all, Ying Gao was bullied a lot in the Xianyang Palace when he was a teenager, and he also heard about these things while drinking with some people.

"Although the Lord said so, in their eyes, they are the pure bloodline of the First Emperor. Only by sending them to those remote places can they have the same effect as the young master Fusu suppressed the people of Nanyue. And this time... they seemed not afraid of letting the Lord know, but instead they seemed to hope to let the Lord know what they were thinking."

"Oh? It seems that this person who is hiding behind him has learned to do the opposite..."

Ying Gao sighed, but his brows also frowned. He walked back and forth a few times in front of Cao Shen, obviously speculating on the cause and effect of this matter and what the enemy hidden in the dark thought.

"Your Majesty thinks, is there still someone behind the scenes the rumors this time?"

In fact, Cao Shen has been a little suspicious of this issue so far, because he has been in control of the entire Xianyang City for a long time, but unfortunately, he has not even found Zhao Cheng's Mao.

In Cao Shen's opinion, if Zhao Cheng really had a way to enter Xianyang City, he would not have known that he would have asked some questions about whether Zhao Cheng really existed.

"If you can't see him, it doesn't mean he doesn't exist. These so-called brothers of mine were originally some people who sing and sing every day. How could they suddenly start to envy Fusu's life? It would be strange if no one instilled such thoughts in them. Who did the wives of the princes I asked you to investigate last time? Have you ever investigated it clearly?"

After confirming that there must be someone behind the scenes, Ying Gao suddenly remembered Feng Qing’s reminder to him before. Later, when he was whispering to Feng Qing and the other two on his couch, Fusu consciously asked again. Finally, he learned from Feng Qing that many women from the old Qin nobles, especially those who married, had the habit of raising faces.

This detail made Ying Gao believe that the breakthrough point in this matter was most likely to be the wife of a young man. It was precisely because of the secret nature of this matter that the source of the rumors has not been found at all.

Sure enough, after hearing Ying Gao's question, Cao Shen's face showed a look of dismay. He didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, facing Ying Gao's increasingly unkind gaze, he sighed and opened his mouth in great difficulty.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really difficult for me. Whenever you talk about the wives of the young masters you mentioned, my eyes in Xianyang City can certainly be fixed on them whenever I go out. However, these wives' behavior outside are not abnormal, and the things in the houses of others cannot be overruled. After all, they are the sons of the Qin Dynasty and the brothers of the king. If they really sneak into their mansions and are learned by some irrelevant people, they will definitely suffer a considerable loss to the reputation of the Qin royal family. Therefore, now I only dare to send people to peek outside the houses of these young masters. If you want to observe more thoroughly, you have to think twice before you act!"

Although Cao Shen knew that he was Ying Gao's confidant, he still had no idea how to start. If a young man's wife did something miserable in his home, he would tell Ying Gao not to tell him that it would be a small matter. If this matter was revealed from nowhere and spread to the ears of the people of Xianyang City, he would be the sinner of the Qin royal family.

Cao Shen really doesn't want to take the blame so much. After all, it's like a person hiring an outsider to monitor his family affairs. As an outsider, Cao Shen is of course very embarrassing.

Moreover, Cao Shen knew more or less about the things that Feng Qing knew. Once this matter was not spread from the miserable things done by the wives of the young masters as Ying Gao said, he revealed this unspoken rule, and then Cao Shen would not have to mess around in Xianyang City from now on.

Ying Gao's head was so smart. When he saw Cao Shen's embarrassed look, he probably knew that this guy must have known something. So he shook his head helplessly and scolded with a stern face: "You guy is really a rotten wood. I didn't say that you would sneak into the mansion of my brothers and secretly observe what you are afraid of? Could it be that you don't want to do this? You want me to sneak in in person?"

Ying Gao's words were obviously joking, but they were obviously a little angry. When Cao Shen saw this, he could only nod his head with a bitter face, but he still looked unwilling.

"Oh, no matter what you see in this investigation, you are only responsible to me. No matter what happens in the future, I will not blame you, what?"

Seeing that Cao Shen was still in a difficult position, Ying Gao also felt that this matter might be a bit difficult for him. People don’t know that you are actually a time traveler. You don’t care whether the princes of the Qin Dynasty are embarrassed or not. So Ying Gao knew that it was necessary to give Cao Shen a sense of security. After all, this is a job of touching the tiger’s butt.

"Cao Shen must do his best!"

Almost after using all his strength to express his opinion, Cao Shen finally withdrew from Ying Gao's hall step by step. Rather than saying that he had withdrawn, he was more likely to say that he had escaped. He was afraid that his lord would suddenly have a whim to let him do something to touch the tiger's tail.

Although Cao Shen also knew that he was an underground worker in Xianyang City, Cao Shen really didn't know how to arrange such a thing when he arrived at his mansion...

After making arrangements with Cao Shen, Ying Gao knew that it was time for him to leave Xianyang again. With the urinary nature of this mastermind, Ying Gao felt that if he didn't let him feel completely relieved, he wouldn't have fully exerted force. If he didn't exert force, it would be difficult for Cao Shen to really obtain any useful clues.

In the court the next day, Ying Gao directly announced that he would go to Luoyang in one day to take a look at the progress of immigration strategies outside Hangu Pass.

Although some officials, including Xiao He, didn't know why Ying Gao had to go to Luoyang, because Luoyang is still very wealthy. Although such a place is stronger than Xianyang, there are still not many people who choose to immigrate to those remote places that cannot be visited in remote places, that is, there may be a little more surrounding villages.

But this time, Xiao He and others did not say anything refuted, because Ying Gao's trip to Luoyang had a great advantage, that is, Luoyang is not far from Xianyang.

Just this distance, with Ying Gao's quick and easy work, he might have come back in just a few days.

But if you make a rebuttal and arouse Ying Gao's interest, Ying Gao will go to some places like the South China Sea to see Xiao He will be frustrated. Last time he and Meng Yi and he tortured the rumors circulating in Xianyang City, he is still vivid in his mind.

Of course, they didn't know that Ying Gao had more than one other purpose in choosing to run to Luoyang at this time.

This time, although Ying Gao did not make a big fuss like the last time, he still brought the Zhu family, Lu Jia and Chen Ping, three main court officials in the court. Unexpectedly, Feng Qing and Tian Yan set out with Ying Gao again.

Since the last scene of Tian Yan riding a horse with Feng Qing running on the land of Jiujiang County, many accompanying officials saw it, Ying Gao took his wife to patrol, and these officials naturally felt relieved.

There has always been a rumor in Xianyang City that is the skill of Ying Gao’s second wife, Tian Yan. Even the Zhu family, the leader of the imperial guard, was willing to take advantage of it. So Ying Gao took Tian Yan on a patrol, why is it not necessarily because of it? What if they want Tian Yan to protect him, maybe it might not be?

This was another trip that was just around the corner. The morning after Ying Gao made the decision, he took a group of guards from the south gate of Xianyang City. Unlike the last long-distance tour, Ying Gao made a lot of publicity before leaving. After all, the road from Xianyang to Luoyang was a newly built straight road from Daqin, and there was no easy place to be ambushed. There was no problem with safety.

Less than two hours after Ying Gao walked out of Xianyang City with great fanfare, the news reached Zhao Cheng's ears.

"What? This guy actually left Xianyang City again?"

Zhao Cheng was quite surprised by this news. After all, Ying Gao had just returned to Xianyang City from the distant Jiujiang County. It was not long since he returned to Xianyang City. Logically speaking, the novelty should have been that he had not yet waited for it, so he left again. It was really incomprehensible.

"Yes, many people in Xianyang City have traveled to see off, and I was among them. I saw it very clearly. The surrounding area is protected by the imperial guards of Xianyang Palace, and the lieutenant Zhu family said that they would go to Luoyang to see the implementation of this immigration strategy. However, Luoyang is not far from Xianyang, and the emperor is light-fitting. I think it will be back in no time."

"Hmph, now this emperor is really worthy of being the first emperor's parent-child. The first emperor is addicted to the patrol and cannot extricate himself. He has been almost assassinated on the tour several times, but he is still enjoying it. It seems that the emperor is just as usual. After he leaves, we can use these few days to add a fire to those young men who are already a little impatient."

Ying Gao left, and Zhao Cheng felt no reason in his heart. Ying Gao was not only the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, but also the person who personally ruined his brother Zhao Gao's efforts for more than 20 years. As long as Ying Gao was in Xianyang City, Zhao Cheng felt a shadow over his head and had no confidence in his actions. Therefore, the last time he spread rumors was when Ying Gao went to Jiujiang to go on a tour.

After Ying Gao left, Xianyang City looked as calm as ever. Most people would not have any bad ideas because the emperor was not in the city. Of course, this does not include Hu Hai and his wife who had been imprisoned in their mansion for many days.

They were obviously waiting for something without leaving the gate. The night after Ying Gao left, they waited for something they had been waiting for for several months.

It was a letter that was thrown in an old place. When Qi Yi was a little unattentional, he lay there quietly.

In fact, a few days ago, Qi Yi and Hu Hai discovered that some young masters began to complain again that Ying Gao had appointed so many major officials from counties and counties at once, but they did not consider them, the young masters of the Qin Dynasty who were well-off. After speaking, they began to tell Ying Gao's arbitrary behavior, they knew that the owner of the letter might have returned to Xianyang City from another place and started to act again.

Although they didn't know whether these rumors could work, they decided to continue not to participate in the spread of those rumors as always.
