The moonlight is like water.
Zhao Xie stood with his hands behind his back.
"Also, there is one more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"Although Cao Xiu and I have known each other three years ago, we have never been able to see through him. He seems to be on the same side as us, but he seems to have kept a little distance. Don't underestimate him. He has accumulated money and food. The power is extremely terrifying!”
Qin Shihuang didn't say anything, but he agreed in his heart.
Damn that thief Cao!
Not to mention anything else, he can make a lot of money just by selling private salt.
As for the cost mentioned by the thief Cao?
Don't be ridiculous, where did he get the cost?
Wang Ling was responsible for making salt, and Xiao He and Cao Shen were responsible for selling salt. It was Qin Jia's job to transport sea salt from the East China Sea to Peixian County. In other words, Cao Xiu only came up with a way to purify salt and make money without doing anything else!
This is just Cao Xiu’s most inconspicuous side job!
Don’t forget, Cao Xiu also made wine secretly. He also monopolized the wine in Peixian County and even most of Surabaya County, and the money he earned was even more amazing. It was not an exaggeration to make a fortune every day!
In addition, he also made many friends. In the past, Peixian County was located at the transition between Wei and Chu, so the knight-errant style was prevalent, and Cao Xiu had a good relationship with them.
Moreover, he also adopted refugee orphans and cultivated them since childhood. The servants in the house have also been trained, and they will definitely be called fierce soldiers as long as they go to the battlefield!
"If he really agrees to join the Qin Dynasty, he can't take it lightly. I asked you to stay with him, which is to monitor him in disguise. If he has even the slightest idea of returning to the Qin Dynasty, then..."
Zhao Xie raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
As for Azheng’s safety?
Sorry, he doesn't care at all.
For him, it would be better if Ah Zheng died. Zhao Xie is the head of the Zhao family in Xindu County and is in charge of the entire Zhao family. Azheng's appearance was a threat to him.
You know, many members of the Zhao family are quite convinced of Dai Wang Jiadu. In the past, when the State of Zhao was destroyed, King Jiadeng raised his voice and attracted many members of the clan to follow and support him. With this appeal, Azheng will definitely be able to get the support of many clan elders.
Sometimes, the dead are more useful than the living!
"Father Ji, what about me?"
"You have outstanding abilities, I believe in you!"
"Hehe...hehe..."
Qin Shihuang just smiled coldly.
What a beast!
Even his own nephew must be framed!
That is to say, if he were an eight-year-old child, he would be fooled and fooled. If Cao Xiu is really in a high position and still wants to return to Qin, if he is killed at this time, can he still run away?
Naturally, he couldn't hide this despicable trick.
However, this made him want to instigate rebellion against Cao Xiu even more!
If we can get Cao Xiu's help, none of these rebels can escape!
All must die! ! !
…
…
The next day, early morning.
Xiao Zhai.
Xiao He stroked his goatee and looked at Cao Xiu.
"You mean, they let you join Qin Weijian?"
"No, they are dreaming!" Cao Shen's temper suddenly rose. "Anyone can go, except Xiu'er. He has been operating in Pei County for many years and has accumulated a lot of money. Entering the Qin Dynasty is full of dangers. , if you are not careful, the three tribes will be implicated. As long as we defend Peixian County, we can take advantage of the right time and place, so why take risks?"
Cao Shen was a hundred reluctant.
All he had to do was pick up his sword and find trouble with Zhao Xie.
He has regarded Cao Xiu as his younger brother since early on, and has watched him grow up all the way. Cao Xiu is also indispensable for Cao's current status.
"Brother, don't worry, haven't you agreed yet?"
"I think this is a good idea."
"Jun Xiao?!"
Cao Shen directly slapped the table and stood up.
He didn't expect that Xiao He would agree!
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Cao. Let He speak slowly." Xiao He stood up, turned around and looked out the window with his hands behind his back. "We are all Qin officials. There will be disadvantages in revolting in the future. Xiu'er is different. , he is acquainted with many rangers, ministers and sinners."
"Isn't it better to stay in Pei County?"
"No, a small official will never achieve great things."
"what for?"
"In time, if Xiu'er can really be ranked among the three ministers and nine ministers, our uprising will be much smoother. After the death of the First Emperor, he will be able to fully control the government. If we want to help Qin, Xiu'er can recommend us as officials, which is enough Control the entire Qin court!"
Xiao He paused, and then continued in a sinister tone: "If we want to rebel against the Qin Dynasty, Xiu'er can use his power to control the government, and then kill the ministers in the name of the second emperor. Then he recruits civilian husbands for corvee and abuses them. The people build palaces with their own strength and use this to force the people to rebel. This is our opportunity!"
Lying on grass? ! !
Cao Xiu stared with surprise on his face.
He knows Qin Jian's role because he knows the future. Xiao He's analysis was sound and logical, but it all relied on his own ability. The key is that what he said was absolutely correct, especially the further it went, the more chills went down Cao Xiu's back.
This operation looks so familiar!
The second emperor of the Qin Dynasty was Hu Hai. To put it bluntly, he was actually a puppet. The real person in charge was Zhao Gao. After Hu Hai came to power, he first killed the Qin clan and killed all his brothers and sisters. Then he tried to murder the ministers of the court, like brothers Meng Tian and Mengyi, Li Si, Feng Quji and Feng Jie... almost all of them who were useful were killed!
Now that the First Emperor was still alive, Xiao He could think of this, and even encouraged him to repeat such operations, which really shocked Cao Xiu.
A person who can go down in history is really awesome!
This kind of foresight is beyond his comparison.
"I understand everything you said, but it's still too dangerous!" Cao Shen still disagreed and said coldly: "We can completely reap the benefits, and there is no need to get involved in these things. Who do they want to mess with? It’s their business, not ours.”
What Cao Shen said actually makes sense.
After all, their base is still in Peixian County. Moreover, they are now developing steadily and well. There are two ways to go, so why take the single-plank bridge because of these people?
"Although this matter is risky, I think it is more beneficial to Xiu'er." Xiao He always held a different opinion, "Is it possible that Mr. Cao hopes that Xiu'er will always be the head of this small Sishui pavilion? He has great talents and should have Those who can be promoted to a higher position and enjoy the glory and wealth are just those who have been forced to stay in Pei County all these years."
"Cao Jun, think about it, what if we are wrong and Qin's fortune has not improved? Xiu'er can definitely become an official in the dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to become a minister in time!"
"this……"
Cao Shen was speechless when he heard this.
He does not deny what Xiao He said, but the risk is too great!
"Xiu'er, what do you think?"
"I am more inclined to what my sworn brother said."
"you……"
Cao Xiu smiled helplessly and said firmly: "Brother, please don't be anxious. I just think what the sworn brother said is more reasonable. Even if you go to Xianyang, nothing may happen. From now on, whether you are with Qin or against Qin, I can take advantage of it." Take advantage!”
[Wish everyone a happy new year! 】
