But when he repeatedly checked other places in Xianyang City and even some places in the suburbs very carefully, Cao Shen finally turned his attention to those places he had never set foot in before.

At this time, Ying Gao went to Shangjun and was not in Xianyang City. Cao Shen made up a lot of determination at that time, and then he personally led his people into several houses that were related to the royal family but were always empty.

Originally, there was no problem with this house, but against the moonlight that day, Cao Shen, who was sharp-eyed, actually saw a few pretty shallow footprints. Needless to say, these footprints were left by Zhao Cheng when he left here.

Although it had been cleaned up at that time, because the two of them brought a lot of things, they were not very convenient to move, and they were afraid of being discovered, so they left traces and left without realizing it.

Following these footprints and Cao Shen's inference, he actually found some secrets in a small cave in a rockery in the back garden of this house. This rockery is located in the middle of the dried-up pond in the garden. The pond is now full of weeds over one person tall. However, once he leans in before he reaches the rockery, he finds that the rockery is unique.

It turned out that the lower half of the rockery was basically empty. Cao Shen leaned into it and looked inside. The end inside was bottomless and could just accommodate someone.

At that time, Cao Shen went down without saying a word. It was a tenth deep cave. When it reached 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 could shine there through the rockery.

"Yes, and according to the circumstances at that time, the people here did not leave for long. Judging from the situation in it, it is afraid that someone has lived there for several years. In this way, the initiator of the rumors was probably the ones who lived here. It is thought that because the emperor surrendered to those rumors and sent Mr. Hu Hai to Xiangjun, they left. In this way..."

Because the time points are very clear, Cao Shen's meaning is already very obvious, that is, the people living here must have gone to Xiangjun, but they didn't say it clearly, because Cao Shen was not sure what kind of impression of Hu Hai was, and it was not Cao Shen's original intention that he rashly put forward a guess that he was not sure about.

"Based on the display and decoration in the underground house, can we see the origin of this person? Is it the possible Zhao Cheng?" Ying Gao did not follow Cao Shen's words to Hu Hai, but asked about the identity of the person who once lived underground.

"There is no clue from the display in that room, but one thing is that I have done some research on that house. The decoration of these houses around Xianyang Palace was completed under the organization of the CRRC Mansion Order. In this way, this person should be Zhao Cheng undoubtedly."

Although there was no object that could directly prove Zhao Cheng's identity, after Cao Shen's careful investigation, he could almost confirm the identity of this person. Otherwise, so many coincidences would not have been pointed at him.

"Since it's Zhao Cheng, his purpose is very simple, it is to subvert my Daqin."

"That's true, the Lord must be careful about this person. All the three tribes of Zhao Gao were killed by us. Zhao Cheng was just missing this. I don't know how much resentment he had towards the Qin Dynasty and the Lord. In addition, he was in the dark and the Lord was in the light, so he should find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible!"

Cao Shen's concerns are obviously not unreasonable. Since Zhao Cheng planned such a big rumor that Zhao Cheng could hide in Xianyang City, almost involved all the princes of the Qin Dynasty, and almost caused a scandal of the Qin royal family, it is hard to say what trouble he could make in the future.

"Since this person can come and go freely in the palaces of various young masters and have won many wives, I think Zhao Cheng has a helper. His affairs must have been directed to his subordinates to do it. Otherwise, he would have traveled back and forth between Xianyang City and went to the palaces of various young masters. How could he not be discovered?"

Obviously, Ying Gao realized a problem that Cao Shen had not realized before. Cao Shen thought about it and agreed with Ying Gao's words. Obviously, Zhao Cheng's image is definitely not good if he just takes down so many wives of the young master. He must have a helper, and he must be a very awesome helper.

"Why would Cao Shen go to the surrounding area of ​​Xiang County secretly to see if he can get this guy's footprint?"

Cao Shen knew what kind of virtue Xiangjun is. It was a fool to rely on those who could find out what Zhao Cheng was about. Moreover, Cao Shen always believed that with Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's previous relationship, he and Zhao Cheng must be very familiar with him.

Once Zhao Cheng arrives in Xiangjun and Hu Hai, it will be difficult to deal with each other. So now, taking advantage of Hu Hai's chances to gain a foothold in Xiangjun, it is the best time.

"Sir is the Xianyang Order of the Great Qin Dynasty. How can I go to a remote village like Xiangjun to take risks? Before, if there was a Zhao Cheng in Xianyang City, it was difficult to guarantee that a second Zhao Cheng would not appear. It would be better if the Xianyang City was guarded by me as solid as a decent lot. I and my wife are all in Xianyang City!"

Obviously, Ying Gao disagreed with Cao Shen's decision. Cao Shen thought about it carefully and found that what Ying Gao said was still very reasonable. He was the Xianyang Order and was not a general. If he went to Xiangjun rashly, if someone recognized it, it would be hard to say.

However, Cao Shen was still very unwilling to accept Zhao Cheng's affairs. After all, Zhao Cheng ran out of his hand. Even if he slapped Cao Shen in the face, although Cao Shen was careless on weekdays, he was actually meticulous.

Seeing Cao Shen's very disappointed expression, Ying Gao couldn't help but sigh and said, "As soon as Hu Hai was sent to Xiang County, I had already arranged the matter there. Your trip at this time can only be considered as a warning to the snake. Zhao Cheng is Zhao Gao's clan's brother. How can I let him escape from the law? This person can lurk under my nose in Xianyang City for several years. It's understandable that he ran away under your siege. You don't have to blame yourself for the first time. If I really capture him in the future, I will definitely leave it to you for disposal!"

Cao Shen is Ying Gao's veteran, so Ying Gao naturally can't make him feel depressed. He originally didn't want to tell others about Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng's arrangements, but today, since Cao Shen has already said this to him, it would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't tell him again.

But Cao Shen is so smart. When he heard Ying Gao's tone, he thought of something and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty means that you have sent Mr. Hu Hai to Xiangjun this time, it is not that you have completely believed Mr. Hu Hai, but..."

"Before this matter is concluded, don't make any guesses. Hu Hai is my younger brother, the governor of Xiang County, and may always be my younger brother in the future."

"Cao Shen understands that since this matter has been left Xianyang City, it will no longer be under the jurisdiction of my Xianyang Order. Don't worry, the investigation of this matter will come to an end."

"Although this matter has come to an end, and after so long, the rumors have almost flowed in Xianyang City. It is time for those wives who have done a miserable life in the mansion with my brothers behind my back. Although these brothers of mine are not good, they are not the ones who can deceive them at will!"

Cao Shen was about to leave, but he didn't expect that Ying Gao's order had not been finished. Suddenly, the subject changed and it was on the wives of these young masters. When Cao Shen heard this, he felt a little troubled. Although he was the Xianyang Order, the key point was that there was no evidence now. This made him deal with the wives of those young masters. The difficulty was imagined, because they would not admit that they had done anything they had done.

Cao Shen, the nobles behind the wives, were not afraid, but if this matter was not done well, it would cause a lot of storm and the faces of Ying Gao and the Qin royal family. Now that this hot potato fell into his hands, Cao Shen was in trouble at that time.

"Sir, don't worry. With your wisdom, this matter would be very easy to solve if it weren't for my brothers. Isn't it necessary to treat them as the princes of the Qin Dynasty. If this happened to his own tribe, what would the gentleman do, and what would he do this time!"

When Cao Shen heard this, he thought that if someone else cursed me like this, I would have been anxious, but the person sitting in front of him was the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, so Cao Shen could only ask for advice humbly. Not to mention that Ying Gao was cursing him from time to time, saying this would be equivalent to delegating power. Ying Gao would definitely not pursue anything to those princes’ wives, in order to solve the case.

After getting Ying Gao's guarantee, Cao Shen was relieved and hurried out immediately, for fear that Ying Gao would give him any difficult problems.

After this evening, within a few days, Ying Gao heard a lot of rumors from Feng Qing. Several young masters' wives would have an affair with some unknown men in their mansion while the young master went out to drink and have fun, and were caught by the young masters who returned to the mansion for some reason.

Because this kind of thing was really embarrassing, a few young masters did not choose to make a statement, but just sent the wife involved back to their parents' home. However, there were also a few who had a relatively irritable temper and almost beat their wife to death at that time.

Although these things happened in the deep courtyard and the people didn't know, several wives with bruised noses and swollen faces went to Xianyang Palace to privately ask Feng Qing for pleading, because this incident was really a bit embarrassing. Feng Qing didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only secretly inform Ying Gao of this incident when he was sleeping at night.

"Mrs. Don't interfere in this matter. How to deal with her wife is the freedom of these young masters of the Qin Dynasty. If they want to keep these women in the mansion, if I have no objection, just don't slander my Qin royal family."

Feng Qing did not expect that Ying Gao would pay so little attention to his brothers, but his mentality was also light. The implication of Ying Gao's words was to tell Feng Qing not to care about these trivial matters. In the end, those unscrupulous young men would make their own decisions. However, if something would harm Ying Gao and the royal family of the Qin Dynasty would cause them to deal with them.

Under the cold treatment of Ying Gao and Feng Qing, these young men and wives and the nobles behind them naturally did not dare to speak out. In the end, many wives were brutally returned by the young men of Daqin, and their family could only endure it silently. After all, it was all the women in their own family who were wrong, right?

As for Ying Gao, of course, he could not focus on such a mess. His mind was almost all on Lu Jia who was about to set off.

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

Just like Xiang Yu promised to Ying Gao before, most of the five hundred people were faces of Central Plains. They were led by a young deputy general under Long Qi, and they arrived outside Xianyang City with a clear stand.

Lu Jia in the city here has also arranged the 500 elite soldiers that Ying Gao gave him, and Zhang Kai has also prepared the craftsman. Ying Gao knew that this team carries his hopes and it is time to set off.

During this month, Lu Jia not only recorded Ying Gao's instructions for him well, but spent most of his time practicing riding horses, and forced the censor to practice with him. Over the past month, the two of them made great progress in riding skills.

In January, Ying Gao personally led Lu Jia and the team of 800 people to the outskirts of Xianyang City to meet with the 500 people from the Xiongnu. Although the cavalry under Xiang Yu did not know Ying Gao before, the emperor's outfit could not help but remind them of the first emperor's patrol that he had experienced many years ago when he was still in the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

The Emperor of Daqin actually came to see him off in person, so the importance of this matter was naturally self-evident. The five hundred people under Xiang Yu's previous command were still a little pessimistic about exploring the barren land this time, but when they saw this, they immediately had a lot of confidence. They all saw the confidence and determination of Daqin in this matter. The emperor came out, can this matter be done?
