Chapter 34 The Fox's Tail

According to Ying Gao's previous instructions, as his secret card, even Feng Qing didn't know what this guy was doing, so he had to enter Ying Gao's mansion through the back door in the dead of night, so that he could avoid Yan Le knowing what Ying Gao did to him. After all, in Yan Le's eyes, Ying Gao still had only two and a half-baked guards around him.

"But what have you discovered?"

Ying Gao is still at ease with the Zhu family's martial arts. After all, he has also seen the skills of the assassin who assassinated Fusu and Fusu's personal bodyguards close by. In comparison, the Zhu family is only stronger and not weak.

"Just as the young master expected! Although Yan Le, the Xianyang Order, seemed to have been in and out of the officials in Xianyang City on weekdays, he only went to Zhao Gao's mansion more often, but after several days of observation, I found that he would go to a wine shop in the east of the city every other day, and then he went there several times, but he saw that the shopkeeper of the wine shop did not seem to want to make a profit, and the wine was also very poor."

When the Zhu family said this, Ying Gao's eyes were already a little lit up, and he couldn't wait to say, "This wine shop must be useful to him. Have you ever discovered anything?"

Ying Gao said this with strong theoretical support. In the laws of the Qin Dynasty, it was extremely important to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce. According to the ideas of the rulers at that time, merchants were not a good thing. They not only made money but also raised prices, disrupted the market, created disputes, and also took specialties from various places to other places to make the difference. In this way, the lives of the people were too rich. Who could farm with peace of mind? It was also a huge waste for food, right?

Therefore, Daqin set the status of a merchant at a very low level and even imposes heavy taxes. It is precisely because of this that talents like Han Xin would rather wander around with a sword on their backs every day than do some business and make money. Because as a merchant in Daqin, he had to be a "city citizen". People who have become "city citizen" should not be independent households and cannot obtain land. They have to be taxed first. Moreover, three generations of people will suffer. At this moment, who dares to do business?

Therefore, anyone who has done business has to sharpen his head and work hard to make money to make up for all the things he has lost. However, Yan Le, as the Xianyang Order, has such a noble identity, but he always goes to the wine shop to buy wine in person, which is very regular. What's more coincidental is that the wine shop he went to is not about making money, so there is absolutely no trick here.

"Because someone was from the old land of Lu and dressed as a raid, the people in Jia market were not very careful. But these days I have only found out that except for the person who runs the restaurant, there is no other gains..."

After saying that, the Zhu family lowered their heads. He knew that the news he had found was useless at all, but he could not wander around Jia City every day. It would be too noticeable. More importantly, as of now, he had no money on his body, otherwise he would not have come back with a tough bullet.

"Handan...is Zhao State again..."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. The Zhu family believes that Handan, which is spam information, is very useful in Ying Gao's ears. Handan was the capital of Zhao before, and it was a coincidence that Zhao Gao was also a royal family in Zhao when he was a child. Ying Gao had such a rich imagination. If he wanted to come, there might be a story here.

Ying Gao's imagination is indeed rich, but it is also related to the large amount of knowledge about this era in his mind. What was Handan in the Warring States Period? To put it bluntly, it is like Paris, France more than two thousand years later, the fashion capital!

In this era, especially when the Qin Dynasty was not unified, when it was mentioned, we all know that there are so many handsome men and beautiful women in Handan. The young men are passionate and handsome, and the young ladies are charming and colorful. Even the walking postures of Handan people are particularly beautiful. Otherwise, how could there be the word "Handan Learning to Walk"?

Just like this, there are some big cities, Handan, and Xianyang, it is more comfortable to sell wine in your hometown. Why bother to make it difficult to achieve Xianyang, which is extremely unfamiliar and harsh, this is one of the doubts in Ying Gao’s mind.

Long ago, when Ying Gao knew that Zhao Gao was originally a nobleman of Zhao State, a bigger doubt had already arisen in his heart.

That is to push the time forward fifty years. In 262 AD, the Qin Dynasty had already vaguely had the momentum to dominate the world. However, in the Warring States Period, there was another country with such ability and such momentum, and that was Zhao State.

However, just fifty years ago, the then king of Zhao, King Xiaocheng, accepted the seventeen cities of Shangdang County, which Han Dynasty presented to Zhao in order to divert Qin's disaster to the east, which triggered a two-year battle with Qin. This was the battle between Qin and Zhao, which was still famous after two thousand years, and determined the direction of the entire Warring States Period.

After two years of war, Zhao launched an army of 450,000, and Qin used a total of 600,000. As a result, Qin lost 300,000 troops, while Zhao was wiped out in the attack of Bai Qi, Wu'an, the Qin State...

The result of the annihilation of the entire army was that tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers of Zhao State were killed. At this point, Zhao State officially withdrew from the stage of fighting for hegemony, and the unification of Qin State gradually took shape.

As everyone knows, although Chu has three families, he will definitely decide to destroy Qin, but he does not know that compared to the barbarian land that Qin and Chu were once despised by other five countries and were still in marriage until the First Emperor's generation, the state of Zhao and Qin were considered blood feuds.

A descendant of a Zhao nobleman who came to Qin more than 20 years ago had no need to become a broken person, but he actually did so, and under such circumstances, after more than 20 years of hard work, he almost reached the level of a courtier whom Emperor Leshi trusted the most.

Ying Gao believed that even if these were not unusual, they could be explained. At this time, Zhao Gao was very kind and did not assist him, but wanted to support his disciple. Hu Hai, who only knew how to play and did not know how to govern the government, would be a little unexplainable. Moreover, Hu Hai was still not interested in the government when he was seventeen years old. This only means that Zhao Gao, the teacher, did not teach him at all. What was he teaching Hu Hai? Ying Gao had reason to believe that apart from teaching Hu Hai how to enjoy and play, he probably should have given him how trustworthy he was.

If all the above are still explained, the assassination of Fusu actually had the shadow of Zhao Gao. It was difficult to show that some talented Ying Gao was immediately designed by Zhao Gao to stay away from the court, which was enough to explain Zhao Gao's problem. However, he rarely did these things himself, so he did not pay attention to many officials in the Qin Dynasty...
