Chapter 373

Chen Xu naturally disdains to watch the fun of killing people.

It is even more impossible for a moment to be kind and ask the emperor to keep someone under the sword.

Whether it is Aoping's death of the three clans or the five clans and nine clans, it has no effect on him. He is a disciple of the immortal family, not a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.

Therefore, although Chen Xu has been able to walk in the ground again in the past few days, he has been hiding in the mansion all day long and planning his own projects in Qinghe Store and Qinghe Grand Theater in Xianyang. At the same time, he also notified Zhao Qing to arrange for people from the Academy of Sciences to prepare for some other research projects that need to be carried out.

After listening to the manager Huangfu Que, who came back from the execution ground, finished talking about what happened on the execution ground with a slight eloquent discussion, Chen Xu put down the tools in his hand and asked in surprise: "Ao Ping really said that the damage to the factory was secretly instructed by Zhao Gao?"

"Yes, but this kind of random slandering others before death is common, and no one will believe it!" Huangfu said with a nod.

Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a while, "Go and help me call Hu Kuan, Wuya, Sun Shujiong and Chen Ping!"

"Yes!" Huangfu Que left, and soon invited Yu Wuya, Hu Kuan, who was watching Shi Xuan and Bo Daocheng play the piano and sing, Sun Shujiu, who was learning abacus with a group of children in the account room, and Chen Ping, who was reading books in the study room.

"You all go out!" Seeing a few people coming in, Chen Xu waved his hand, and the four little maids who served him in the room quickly saluted and retreated, and closed the door carefully.

Looking at Chen Xu's serious look, the conversation and laughing of several people on the way they came just now slowly calmed down.

"Mr. Marquis, what's the matter with calling me?" Hu Kuan asked with some trepidation.

Chen Xu looked at Hu Kuan and Huangfu Que, and finally his eyes fell on Huangfu Que's face: "Huangfu Que, it has been more than a month since you came to my mansion. I think you are diligent in doing things, flexible in mind, and orderly in your treatment of people and things. But the manager of the Hou Mansion is just a free job after all, and your strength is useless. I plan to hand over the Qinghe Store to you for management and management, and you may do it well!"

Huangfu Que was stunned for a moment and quickly lit his head like a chicken eating rice. He said excitedly, "Don't worry, Marquis, I will definitely be able to do it!"

"Marty, then...what am I doing?" Hu Kuan asked for a long time as if he was betrayed.

"You have a more important task. I am going to transfer you to the Academy of Sciences as the head of the Hydraulic Engineering Office, a doctor of the same rank. Three hundred stones of grain per month is considered a semi-official official position in the court. What do you think?"

"Really?" Hu Kuan almost fainted in surprise.

When choosing between being an official and being a businessman, I am afraid that all the merchants in Daqin will not choose the wrong choice, even if they lose everything, it is fine, because being an official means that a family will completely get rid of business and become the starting point for aristocratic nobles. It is this huge temptation that makes Chen Xu's method of laying eggs successful by borrowing chickens and laying eggs.

"What are you lying to do? You were proficient in wood and stone construction. It was a waste of being a merchant. I was going to build a huge water truck on the Wei River. The project was large and complicated. Therefore, I transferred you here. As long as this is done, I recommend you to join the school order of the Jiangzuo Shaofu!"

"Okay, don't worry, marquis, I will definitely help you repair the water truck!" Hu Kuan was so excited that he began to slapped all over. The five school entrusted by the craftsman's Shaofu were all treated as a central doctor. He had a monthly official rank of 600 stones, and his status was higher than that of the county magistrate below, because this was the responsibilities of the Jiuqingfu, and he was in charge of national affairs.

Chen Xu turned to look at Sun Shujiong, "The same is true for you. You have been to me for more than a month. The money, grain and finance in the mansion are in good order and meticulous. I read the article you wrote a few days ago. Both the writing and writing style are very good. Staying in the mansion to manage money and grain is too wasteful. Therefore, I plan to arrange for you to go to the Academy of Sciences to be the secretary of the office, daily copywriting and communication. What do you think? (Note: The word secretary has appeared in the Spring and Autumn Annals, which is in charge of documents and books)"

"Mr. Xie appreciated it!" Sun Shujiong also had an excited face and blushed and quickly bowed his hand to salute.

"Chen Ping, you just came to Xianyang and are not familiar with many things. I am temporarily wronged to help me become a manager of the Marquis' Mansion. I help me manage the exchanges and exchanges of the Marquis' Mansion on weekdays. If you like reading, you can also take the time to organize some of the books left by Lu Buwei. When I find a suitable position for you after the spring begins, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, Chen Ping will do his best to manage the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion!" Chen Ping also bowed happily.

On the first day he arrived in Xianyang, Chen Xu was seriously ill and unconscious. After sleeping for four or five days, he had just recovered. Then the emperor brought his daughter and a lot of rewards to visit him. As a result, the Marquis was unconscious for several days. Therefore, during this period, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was panicked. The group of people who planned to defect to Chen Xu to become rich and become officials were also uneasy, fearing that Chen Xu would die if he accidentally fell in love and defected to his boss would be killed. This was too unlucky and would not be able to find a boss in the future.

Therefore, although Chen Xu now gave him only a steward in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, he also felt much more at ease. Moreover, there were many secret matters in the Marquis' Mansion. Through this position, he could quickly contact and recognize many affairs of princes, princes, ministers, and even the inner court of the palace. He was definitely Chen Xu's confidant.

"That's good. You guys gathered the housekeepers and servants of the Hou Mansion to explain clearly, and handed over their respective tasks. As for the financial income and expenditure registration, we will find two or three Qinghe Primary School students to deal with. Chen Ping will do the matter first."

"Yes, Marquis, we will leave!" Chen Ping, Huangfu Que, Sun Shujiu and Hu Kuan all saluted together and then left the room.

"My benefactor, you are becoming more and more marquis! I guess you are even more stunning to be an emperor!" Yu Wuya said while sitting on the kang eating snacks.

Chen Xu shook his face and turned his head guiltily to look at the door that had just been closed. He felt a stream of sweat coming out from his forehead. He rolled his eyes hard and said, "Brother Wuya, this is Xianyang, not Xiaohe Village. You can't say such words again in the future, otherwise you and my life will be unsuccessful!"

"I'm so afraid, the emperor has no good intentions to you!" Yu Wuya said with a lip.

Chen Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wuya, I know you are resentful of the emperor's plan to give him a marriage a few days ago, but don't worry, I only have Miss Shui in my heart..."

"No, it's normal for men to be a man and have a lot of wives and concubines. The junior sister is not an ordinary woman, so naturally she doesn't care how many women and concubines her beloved husband has. It's enough to have a confidant in life!" Yu Wuya shook his head.

"Then what do you mean by saying this?" Chen Xu couldn't help but frown.

"I just think that benefactor can be the emperor. Zhao Zheng is too determined to kill the three tribes of Ao Ping today. It is just a false crime. Master once said: To emphasize law and punishment, but to neglect benevolence, ethics and righteousness is not the way to govern the country. Xia Jie, Shang and Zhou were all destroyed by torture and killing innocent people, which led to the disintegration of subjects and morality. When Zigao persuaded the King of Qi to abandon the punishment of chariots and splitting, and later the other six countries were abolished, only Qin was retained, and the criminal law was even more serious. The three tribes of chariots and Yi, and the five punishments, cooking, cramps and other tortures were used by the emperor on the subjects. In ancient times, whether it was the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors or the King of Shang and Zhou, they all advocated that they had five energys to follow the heavens, and cultivate benevolence, ethics and righteousness to protect their children and people. In ancient times, whether it was the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors or the King of Shang and Zhou, they all advocated that they had five energys to follow the heavens, and cultivate benevolence, ethics and righteousness to protect their children and people. In ancient times, whether it was the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors or the King of Shang and Zhou, they all advocated that they had five energys and were in accordance with the heavens, and cultivate benevolence, ethics and righteousness to protect their children and people.

Only then will he be supported by all the people, and all the kings who do not cultivate themselves have basically fallen, such as Jie of Xia, Zhou of Shang, and King You of Zhou of Zhou, otherwise Master would not have speculated that the reunification of the Qin Dynasty was the beginning of the fall of Qin. No king in history who is good at killing and punishing can govern the country for a long time. Although I don’t know why my benefactor wanted to assist the emperor, the so-called those who know the times are heroes, and those who make changes are heroes. Why should I strive to turn the tide and help such a tyrant? Instead of spending time and effort, it is better to start a new business. Now my benefactor’s name is known to the world. As long as you reveal the slightest meaning, the heroes of the world will inevitably follow..."

"Stop..." Chen Xu helpedlessly interrupted Yu Wuya's long speech, looking at Yu Wuya with a slightly serious expression and said, "Brother Wuya, in fact, you only see the surface, but not the essence!"

"What's the essence?" Yu Wuya asked in confusion.

"The essence is that the rule of law is inevitable for the development of human civilization. No matter which country or dynasty, it must be subject to legal constraints to be stable. The Qin Dynasty is indeed strict at the moment and the criminal law is heavy, but this is not unchangeable. Moreover, this time Ao Ping was secretly involved in the matter of the three tribes of Yi. Ao Ping did not die at the hands of the emperor, but at the hands of Zhao Gao!"

"Zhao Gao? What's the solution? It was clearly the 93-year-old and young Ao Ping's family ordered to be killed by the emperor!" Yu Wuya was very puzzled.

"You didn't think about the details. The last time Meng Yun went to Qinghe Town to snatch papermaking, the person who instigated him was Ao Ping's son Ao Jun. Shang Tu and Ao Ping according to Meng Yi, both were Mozi's disciples, which means that the two were actually one. Why did Ao Ping do this? There may be two reasons. One is that Ao Ping and Meng Yi have a grudge and tried to use this matter to discredit Meng Yi and find an opportunity to bring him down. The second is that there are malicious hands behind the scenes pushing the matter. I heard that Ao Ping, Shang Tu and Zhao Gao have a good relationship. Today, on the execution ground, Ao Ping said in person that Zhao Gao instructed them to destroy the factory. Although most people think this is a manifestation of Ao Ping pulling people into the water before his death, I just don't think so. Ao Ping and Shang Tu must have colluded with Zhao Gao, and all this was arranged secretly by Zhao Gao."

"Hey, what my benefactor said seems to make some sense!" Yu Wuya pinched his chin and nodded slightly, as if he had slowly figured out some of the relationships. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Zhao Gao arranged for Ao Ping's son to instigate Meng Yun to rob papermaking, and arranged for Shang Tu's son to secretly destroy the factory. They all wanted to obstruct his benefactor and take the opportunity to avenge his son Zhao Zhe!"

"And you will also take revenge for you after cutting off half of his ear!" Chen Xu hummed in anger.

"My benefactor, that's considered a careless mistake. If you do it again, I will definitely stab him to death with one sword!" Yu Wuya said with a depressed look when he saw Chen Xu re-introducing his scars.

"Forget it, don't be reckless. The matter of killing Zhao Gao needs long-term planning, and there may be an excellent opportunity right now!" Chen Xu shook his head and said.

"What opportunity?" Yu Wuya asked quickly.

"Just what Ao Ping said on the execution ground today, the opportunity lies in it. Although I have no clue as to why Ao Ping and Shang Tu obeyed the order and Zhao Gao, since the three of them colluded, now Ao Ping was now being the three tribes of Yi, and Shang Tu was demoted to Shu. According to Zhao Gao's mentality, it is very likely that he would secretly kill Shang Tu on the road and erase all the unfavorable factors for him. If you want to completely crush Zhao Gao, you must figure out the joints. If you can obtain evidence of Zhao Gao's collusion with Ao Ping, even if Zhao Gao is not dead, you will have to peel off a layer of skin. As long as you can move him from the position of Taifu, you will be killed or cut off at that time, let us have the final say!"

"My benefactor, what should we do now?" Yu Wuya's face became serious.

"Brother Wuya, I want to ask you to go there personally and lead some guards to accompany you secretly. Once you find someone intercepting and assassinating Shang Tu, you must rescue him. Once Shang Tu knows that Zhao Gao is going to kill him, then he will definitely tell the story of collusion with Zhao Gao. If Shang Tu testifies, Zhao Gao will fall!"

"Okay, benefactor, don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away!" Yu Wuya stood up.

"Wait, remember to bring the suspicious guards found by Wang San and others last time together, and find an opportunity to deal with it on the way!" Chen Xu's eyes showed a trace of murderous aura that he had never seen before.
