Li Si found out that he had finally made Ying Zheng pay attention to this matter, and he was immediately excited. He couldn't help but take a step forward, and then said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, I have been forgetting to eat and sleep these days, and finally the Damai Team's A few people have some clues in the investigation. ⊙√八⊙√八⊙√Read ⊙√, .2●≥”
Ying Zheng said nothing.
Li Si added: "These people claim to be from Pei County, but they are from the same clan, and they all have the surname Liu."
"After they entered Xianyang City, they first went to the Banished Immortal Tower to work. Your Majesty should know that the Banned Immortal Tower is the property of Huaiguzi, and Huaiguzi's territory often pays very high salaries, and it is not accessible to ordinary people. These few people from other places are here. Refugees, why did they get in so easily?"
Ying Zheng frowned, but still did not speak.
Li Si added: "Besides, after the members of the Damai team worked as waiters in the Banished Immortal Building for a while, the Shangjun Villa suddenly began to recruit farmhands. This has never happened before. But now they are recruiting. "
"When recruiting farm laborers, Huaiguzi also conducted some tests. It's just that the test was not made public."
"I made many inquiries and finally found a few reliable people. According to them, several people from the Damai Team had a very difficult time doing farm work. They were almost at the back every time. In fact, they even failed to pass the identity verification. .”
"But they unexpectedly succeeded in becoming farmhands. I feel that Huaiguzi secretly said hello and deliberately let them enter Shangjun's Villa."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
Li Si added: "It's not just that. Ever since Huaiguzi entered Shangjun's courtyard, he has selected some strong, powerful, loyal, and daring people to form a bodyguard."
"These guards have always been randomly selected. But this time, there was a sudden and vigorous competition. As if to tell the world that some people became guards not because of Huaiguzi's instruction, but because they were already highly skilled in martial arts and super powerful. It’s almost ordinary people who got this position by relying on their own abilities.”
"This is more like concealing something. What a coincidence, when the Damai team just arrived in Xianyang, Shangjun Courtyard was recruiting farm laborers. What a coincidence, not long after they became farm laborers, Huaiguzi was about to recruit guards. ?”
Ying Zheng spoke: "You mean, Huaiguzi knows their identities?"
Li Si said: "I think there is a 90% chance that Huaiguzi knows about it."
Ying Zheng was silent. He seemed to be thinking.
Li Si added: "Recently, after the Damai team and others entered Shangjun's villa, I have already found out their movements."
"Huai Guzi is teaching them killing skills every day, and he looks impatient. I have already sent people to try it, and trained a few people using the method of banishing immortals. It is indeed very effective."
Ying Zheng frowned: "So, Huaiguzi is deliberately cultivating these people?"
Li Si said: "Exactly. What's the harm in Huaiguzi taking a fancy to certain people and deliberately cultivating them? But he is so secretive, which arouses people's imagination. I think these people are probably not innocent people. They may even be rebels. Even...all the guards in Shang Jun's courtyard have some shady backgrounds."
Ying Zheng looked solemn.
Li Si didn't know what Ying Zheng was thinking now.
If the emperor became suspicious of Huaiguzi, he could continue to add insult to injury. If the emperor is angry and sows dissension on his own, his life will be in danger this time.
Li Si thought quickly for two seconds and decided to take a risk. So he continued: "Your Majesty, I think Huaiguzi may have the intention to rebel. What he did is really strange. 】 八 八 Read 书, .2√3.￠o"
Ying Zheng suddenly smiled: "Wei Ting is overly worried. If Huai Guzi really wants to assassinate me and is really training assassins. Then it should be done in secret. Now that the assassins are sent to the mansion with great fanfare, isn't it because they are afraid that people will not know? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to implicate him?”
Li Si was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Perhaps Huaiguzi plans to fly away after the assassination?"
"How much money has Huaiguzi made in Xianyang City over the past year? Perhaps this money is used to support the rebels."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "There is absolutely no evidence for your words. How can I believe you?"
Li Si said: "I have a plan. Your Majesty can call Huaiguzi and ask him face to face. If there is any inconsistency in his words, immediately order someone to arrest him and send him to prison. I am willing to share your worries and interrogate him personally. Him, until he tells the truth.”
Li Si was not sure whether Li Shui had rebelled. But he knew that what Li Shui did was sneaky and there should be something ulterior.
As long as Li Shui said something inappropriate, he would have a way to put Li Shui in jail. As long as Li Shui is in jail, Li Si is confident that he can be found guilty of any crime.
By then, the smoky atmosphere above the court will be swept away. And he will definitely be respected by all the officials, and his prestige will become higher and higher for a while.
Even his ally Wang Wan had to stay away.
When Li Si thought that he might replace Wang Wan's position, his heart beat faster.
However, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Huai Guzi worked so hard to help me refine the elixir, how hard it was? How could I chill his heart? It is inappropriate to ask him face to face with these words."
Li Si looked sincere: "Your Majesty, please put the country and the country first. The Qin Dynasty's foundation for generations must not be destroyed by this shameless villain."
Ying Zheng pondered for a while and said calmly: "A few people from the Damai team claim to be the Liu family of Peixian County. Since they have names, you should immediately arrange for someone to go to Peixian County and check their details. If there is really something wrong with them. , I will naturally arrest them and interrogate them in detail."
Li Si thought for a while and felt that this was the only way at the moment. So he bowed to say goodbye and hurried to make arrangements.
Of course, Li Si was not stupid enough to find a few people to frame Li Shui. That would be too stupid. On the contrary, it is easy for Li Shui to seize the loophole.
Since you are going to do it, you must do it in a watertight manner and have solid evidence.
As for if this thing cannot be done, he will become enemies with Li Shui. Li Si didn't care, he was doing it openly for the sake of the Qin Dynasty. At worst, I'll just apologize to Li Shui when the time comes.
As long as His Majesty still favors him, Li Shui can do nothing.
When he walked out of the palace gate, Li Si sighed: It was obviously planned to wait and see what happens and let others charge into the battle, but in the end he couldn't hold it back and ended up personally. It's strange, this opportunity is great. Just make a bet like this. If you win, you will have peace of mind in the future.

Recently, Mrs. Zhou spent all her private money and secretly sent people to open several stores in Xianyang city. After you have accomplished what you want, show it off to your husband.
These shops are all called Half the Sky.
On this day, Mrs. Zhou inspected her store with great joy.
She arrived at Bantianmi Store first.
According to Mrs. Zhou's estimation, after the rice shops of the sponsors Junbieyuan closed down, she should have a steady stream of customers. But what puzzled Mrs. Zhou was that there was not a single customer in this rice shop.
Mrs. Zhou was a little confused: Do the people in Xianyang City no longer eat rice?
Afterwards, she went to Half the Sky Woodware Store. The store was equally deserted.
Later, Mrs. Zhou went to a pastry shop, a pottery shop, a jewelry shop...
After this circle, Mrs. Zhou's heart became colder and colder.
If you lose, you will definitely lose miserably this time.
She returned home a little confused, and she was extremely confused: "Why, there's not a single guest?"
When she entered the house, she found her husband sitting in the house drinking.
She said casually: "I see that this street is a bit depressed. Business seems to be not so easy nowadays."
Zhou Gui snorted: "I've ordered the guys to make less pastries these days, so as not to overstock them and not sell them, which will go to waste."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was slightly stunned, because she felt that Zhou Gui seemed to know something.
She asked in a low voice: "Why did you ask those guys to make less pastries?"
Zhou Gui sighed and told the truth: "Actually, when I was outside the Shangjun Courtyard that day, I knew I made a wrong move."
Mrs. Zhou looked at him with a puzzled face: "On that day? Shangjun Villa?"
Zhou Gui said: "The banished immortal came to invite us to sponsor that day, but he didn't mean anything malicious. His selection meeting was so lively. The people watching at the meeting included not only ordinary people, but also dignitaries."
"During the selection meeting, the banished immortal highlighted the merchants who had sponsored him. Therefore, the names of those merchants spread almost throughout Xianyang City."
Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale: "No wonder many people on the street are talking about barley, barley. Could it be that this barley is the vendor who sponsored the selection meeting?"
Zhou Gui nodded: "It's this person. We rejected the sponsorship from the Exalted Immortal that day. This guy Damai spent all his money and accepted the sponsorship."
"I thought he was going to go bankrupt now, but I didn't expect that this man was extremely lucky. He became extremely rich in a short period of time thanks to his reputation as an immortal."
"Nowadays, 80% of the pastries in Xianyang City are made by him. Our pastry shop is already deserted."
Mrs. Zhou's body trembled slightly: "So, those rice shops and woodware shops... are all like this?"
Zhou Gui nodded: "Now we can only avoid the limelight. I hope the people of Xianyang will get tired of eating their food and come to patronize us again."
"Fortunately, my husband has a unique vision and thought of this early. Otherwise, we would have lost everything. This time, although we were also in trouble and our business was greatly damaged, it was still better than other companies. .”
"But you don't know that a man named Half the Sky appeared on the street recently. He is really stupid. He opened a rice shop and a pastry shop. In the end, he didn't have any customers, and he was made a laughing stock."
"When I had nothing to do, I helped this person figure it out. He will definitely lose everything. It's a pity that I don't know who this person is. Otherwise, I can laugh at him. Haha."
Mrs. Zhou forced a smile and was too embarrassed to tell Zhou Gui that the idiot was herself.
Zhou Gui joked for a while and suddenly noticed that Mrs. Zhou looked wrong, so he asked: "What's wrong with you? But you feel uncomfortable?"
Mrs. Zhou forced a smile: "It's nothing, maybe she's tired."
Zhou Gui looked at Mrs. Zhou with a puzzled expression, feeling that her forced smile was very familiar.
Zhou Gui lowered his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when he came back from Shangjun Courtyard that day, he seemed to have the same expression when facing his wife.
…………
In Shangjun Courtyard, Li Shui, Li Xin, Li Ji and others were listening to Sanjiao's report.
Sanjiao said: "Sir, Xiang Yu and others are getting stronger and stronger. Although they are extremely tired these days, their physical strength is getting stronger day by day."
"The villain has discovered that they have started to forcefully get up at midnight these days. I estimate that within three to five days, they will come to assassinate you again."
Li Shui nodded and said to Sanjiao, "It's time to change the pattern."
Sanjiao looked at Li Shui curiously.
In fact, he vaguely felt that maybe he shouldn't eavesdrop on the important matter of banishing the immortal.
But...he was just too curious.
Li Shui smiled slightly, pointed to Li Ji next to him, and said to Sanjiao: "Let him go and have a look, and we can clear up some confusion."
Sanjia responded and followed Li Ji from a distance.
Li Ji found the people of Damai Team and Li's Woodwork.
He looked at the twelve people in front of him and said calmly: "Your training has been very effective. You can officially enter Shangjun Villa as a guard."
The cultivators all laughed excitedly. Xiang Yu and others also pretended to smile.
Li Ji added: "Recently, Exiled Immortal has an idea and needs your help."
The cultivators immediately said, "Sir, please speak. We will never refuse."
Li Ji nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Although your martial arts are good, you have never experienced an assassination. Not only you, but also the guards in Shang Jun's Courtyard."
"So, if the assassin really comes one day, they will probably be in a hurry."
"Therefore, I discussed with the Banished Immortal. How about doing some simulated assassinations. So, I plan to select a few of you to play the role of assassins and assassinate the Banished Immortal. During the day, you will investigate the possible locations of the Banished Immortal. , you can take action at night."
"I will not tell the other guards about your affairs, lest they become wary. If you can successfully find the Banished Immortal and place the sword in your hands on his neck, you will be looked upon with admiration by the Banished Immortal. Even chosen as a personal bodyguard.”
As soon as this statement came out, Xiang Yu and others were very excited. This Huaiguzi is simply looking for death.
After participating in this action, Xiang Yu could blatantly kill Huai Guzi. When it comes to the last moment, can’t we just do the fake show for real?
Suddenly, the farmers nearby said: "The other guards don't know our identities? If they recognized us as real assassins, fired random arrows and killed us, wouldn't it be unfair? We are not afraid of death, but we are afraid of death." After we died, we were stabbed in the spine and scolded for betraying the banished immortal..."
Li Ji said: "You can assassinate quietly. As long as you are smart enough, the guards will not notice."
The farmers were still reluctant.
Li Ji said calmly: "Whoever wants to quit, please take a step forward."
No one moved.
Li Ji added: "Whoever wants to play the role of an assassin, take a step forward."
The barley team immediately took a step forward.
Li Ji nodded with satisfaction and said to Xiang Yu: "Very good, you are very courageous. For the safety of the banished immortal and for the sake of tempering the guards of Shangjun Courtyard, you did not hesitate to bear the humiliation and bear the burden. It is amazing. After the incident is completed, the banished immortal will definitely I want to give you a medal."
Xiang Yu and others tried their best to look proud.
The cultivators next to them all lowered their heads in shame. 11 Go to Baidu to read the latest chapters of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
