Chapter 1496: Fortune and misfortune depend on each other
"Well..." After hearing this, Gu Xun looked a little pensive. After thinking about it for a moment, he clasped his hands in front of his chest and suddenly said, "No... there is something wrong with Li Si's attitude."
After hearing this, Fusu nodded in agreement, "I think so too, his attitude is a bit too bold."
The blame for assassinating Fusu was not easy even for him, the Prime Minister, to shoulder, not to mention the additional consequences of angering Quicksand.
Li Si may not need to be too afraid, but there is no need to take risks at this time.
"Li Si's behavior is more like he has a plan and is waiting to take this opportunity to target Confucianism." Gu Xun analyzed this and suddenly laughed, "Ha, it seems that our Prime Minister should have cooperated with Zhao Gaoda
.”
After Gu Xun's reminder, Fusu also reacted, "I see..."
"Zhao Fu Ling is indeed Zhao Fu Ling, and he does everything without leakage." Fusu also laughed, "Originally, I thought that he would be resented by Li Si this time, but it turns out that arrangements have been made long ago."
"It would be appropriate to use the opportunity to deal with Confucianism as a sweetener to appease Li Si..."
"The two of them must have reached some agreement in private, and Li Si was able to completely put down his worries and go all out to target Confucianism." Gu Xun, who had thought everything through, did not pay too much attention to this matter and said calmly, "Of course, even so, Zhao
Those who are taller will definitely be penalized by Li Si if he kills them first and then pays them back, and Li Si will probably pay them back when he finds the right opportunity."
Although it has not been confirmed, Gu Xun can basically judge that the cooperation between the two occurred after the assassination.
Li Si is cruel, but he is not as courageous as Zhao Gao.
No matter how much he wanted to look for opportunities or even create opportunities to deal with Confucianism, he would not be so confused as to assassinate Fusu.
It can only be that Zhao Gao has settled the matter and made everything a done deal, and it was half inducement and half coercion.
"But... the Confucian family is in even greater trouble." Fusu shook his head and continued with a smile.
"There are too many lice but it doesn't itch. Little Shengxian Manor is not bad either." Gu Xun said lightly.
"For Little Saint Xian Manor, the real source of this crisis is actually your father's eastward patrol and the voyage of the mirage."
"Li Si also noticed this, so he spared no effort to strike boldly at this time - this is his real opportunity."
On the whole, Xiaoshengxian Manor is relatively peaceful. Even if Zhang Liang is making trouble behind his back, it is actually difficult to attract Xianyang's attention.
The average number of imperial officials in areas outside Guanzhong is small, and the imperial censor system is not the same. Even if Ying Zheng wants to rectify a certain problem, he must first pay attention to that problem.
Then the problem comes. If Ying Zheng doesn't pay attention, it will be difficult to find the problem. To attract Ying Zheng's attention, the problem often needs to be exposed to his sight first.
The perfect closed loop belongs to yes.
Therefore, intelligence agencies such as Luowang, which actively collect intelligence and compile reports, are very important to Ying Zheng and are also his main source of information for discovering problems.
But there's another problem.
First of all, a local official can be a little Fengxian, and the director of an intelligence agency can also be a director. So what should you do if he doesn't report it to you?
Secondly, intelligence agencies are just a special kind of functional department. No matter how low-ranking or powerful they are, or whether they kill people first and then show them off, to put it bluntly, they are just words to scare people.
It's not omnipotent.
Even though it is a supposedly all-pervasive net, its wire mesh does not really cover every corner of the world.
Even the modern industrialized countries of later generations cannot really perfectly monitor all aspects of society, let alone in today's era.
In this case, Xiaoshengxian Manor is actually very safe. Even if some Confucian doctors in Xianyang jump very hard, it will not affect them.
The fundamental reason why Xiaoshengxianzhuang, which had been silent all this time, was pushed to the forefront was that Mirage was going to sail in Songhai, and Ying Zheng was going to patrol eastward in person.
This is the only fatal threat to Little Saint Xian Manor, and the others are nothing to worry about.
"That's what I'm worried about right now..."
No matter how Li Si wants to cause trouble, Fusu is sure to suppress him. After all, imperial power is supreme. Apart from Ying Zheng, Fusu is the greatest symbol of imperial power.
But if Yingzheng decides to attack Confucianism, Fusu can't change anything.
Fusu looked at Gu Xun and asked slightly worriedly, "Teacher, do you have any ideas?"
"There is no need to worry too much about this." Gu Xun looked confident and suddenly said Newton's law with a smile, "You have to understand that the effects of force are mutual."
"Ah?" The meaning of the words was very straightforward, and Fusu could understand the meaning immediately, but... what does this have to do with the safety of Confucianism?
Seeing this, Gu Xun explained, "In Li Si's view, the mirage's departure has drawn your father's attention to Songhai, a city in the Far East, which is the perfect opportunity for him to destroy the Little Saint's Villa in one fell swoop."
"But in the same way, your father's excessive emphasis on the voyage of the mirage will also become a glimmer of hope for Little Sage Village to escape from the crisis."
"It can be said that success is a mirage and failure is a mirage."
The Eastern Inspection and the Mirage voyage were too important to Ying Zheng, so regarding Songhai, he would unconsciously take the most radical measures possible to stabilize the situation, so as not to hinder his own major events.
But equally, because these two things are so important, in order to prevent his energy from being involved in the trivial matters of Songhai, he will not get entangled in the matters here.
In other words, if you want Little Sage Village to be safe and sound, there are two options.
The first is to make Ying Zheng feel that the problem at Little Sage Village is not that serious, and there is no need to go to war and create more trouble just to deal with this trivial matter.
The second is to make Ying Zheng feel that if he wants to deal with the Little Sage Village, it will inevitably involve a lot of his energy and may delay his business.
No matter which plan is used, it is enough for Xiaoshengxianzhuang and the entire Confucian family to ensure their own safety during this turbulent time.

Haha, let’s not worry about whether the Little Saint’s Village is there or not, Ying Zheng’s side is probably gone.
Of course, the more critical question is how to make Xiaoshengxian Village achieve these two points.
The first option, with Li Si on the side adding fuel to the fire and fanning the flames, is not easy to achieve.
And the second option... also seems to be useless at first glance.
For Ying Zheng, who advocates the aesthetics of violence, no problem in the world is difficult to solve, at least Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and even Confucianism as a whole is no exception.
The Mohists, who are also prominent scholars, have been completely labeled as rebels, so what are you more Confucian?
Little Sage Village?
Wouldn't it be possible to raze people to the ground with just tens of millions?
It seems that, as Gu Xun said, there is a way to survive in Little Sage Village, but it is only a glimmer of hope.
However, after Fusu understood the meaning of Gu Xun's words, he nodded repeatedly and felt relieved.
For the Confucians, relying only on their own strength does only have a glimmer of hope, but it will be different if external forces intervene.
There are still people in the world who can stand up to Ying Zheng.
………………
On the outskirts of Songhai, the temporary base of the Mohist family.
Looking at the back of Zhang Liang who was leaving in a hurry, Big Iron Hammer scratched his head and muttered in confusion:
"What's wrong? What are you thinking of? Why are you still leaving?"
Master Ban stroked his beard and thought, "Zifang has discovered another conspiracy of Luo Wang and is he in a hurry to take countermeasures?"
"Zhao Gao, I'm afraid he has secretly cooperated with Li Si and wants to use the assassination case to frame Confucianism."
At this time, Gai Nie said the reason in a deep voice.
Of course, this was his guess, but Ge Nie was basically sure that he was not wrong.
There are currently three organizations in the Songhai area that have close relations with Zhang Liang - his disciple Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Liusha, and the Mohist family.
Among the three, it is difficult to have problems with Quicksand. Everyone from the Mo family is here, so if you have anything to say, just talk directly. Only Little Sage Village is special.
Only an unexpected threat to Little Saint Xian Manor would cause Zhang Liang to leave temporarily.
In addition to what Zhang Liang said before, the reason for his departure was related to Zhao Gao's purpose and this assassination case.
Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Luowang, Zhao Gao, assassination, Li Si...
Taking these factors together and thinking about it, it is not difficult to guess what Zhang Liang had in mind.
Of course, for Gai Nie, this was easy to guess, but for Master Ben and the others, it was a bit confusing.
Why did it suddenly jump to Li Si and Zhao Gao joining forces?
Did you two have a secret and private discussion just now? How did you know about it?
"The inference mentioned by Mr. Gai seems quite possible, but...is there any basis for it?" Master Ben, who had no clue, asked with a wry smile.
After Gai Nie considered the words, he explained in detail:
"Although the leader of Luowen is Zhao Gao, in Songhai, Zhao Gao is responsible to Prime Minister Li Si."
"Although the entire assassination operation was arranged just right, the sudden entrance of the Six Sword Slaves at the end was too conspicuous."
"We can tell that Luo Wang is the mastermind, and so can Li Si."
"As Zhao Gao's Shangguan when he was in Songhai, Luo Wang's act of assassinating Young Master Fusu behind Li Si's back will undoubtedly bring him great risks."
"So... Li Si was also the promoter of this assassination?" Gao Jianli frowned and guessed.
Gai Nie shook his head, "Li Si...should not take such a risk. The benefits that assassinating Fusu can bring to him are not enough for him to take such a big risk."
"I think Zhao Gao planned the assassination alone. He just used benefits to win over Li Si afterwards to avoid angering him as the prime minister."
"The benefit Mr. Gai mentioned...is to use the opportunity to frame Confucianism?" Master Ban asked.
"It should be right." Gai Nie nodded, "Li Si's attitude towards Confucianism is very clear now."
"Then the Confucianists are in big trouble, aren't they?" Big Hammer shouted loudly.
Wei Zhuang glanced at him coldly and replied lightly, "Confucianism is already in trouble."
"Uh..." The big hammer made Wei Zhuang choke for a moment. After thinking about it, he ignored Wei Zhuang and said to the class master and others, "Do we want to help?"
"We'll have to wait until the next time we see the ovary to ask him about this." Master Ban stroked his beard worriedly, "But I don't think we can be of much help."
Not to mention that the Mo family has too much to take care of themselves now, even under normal conditions before, it was difficult to help.
After all, everyone's identities are different now.
Although they were once called prominent schools, now one is a formal academic school that respects Wang Hua, and the other is a rebellious and treacherous rebel. They are completely opposite and have nothing to do with each other.
If the Mohists help the Confucians, they will probably become more and more troublesome.
After hearing this, Sledgehammer shrugged his shoulders and silently shrank aside.
Although he is a very loyal person, he is not familiar with Confucianism!
If the Xiang clan is in trouble, then he will definitely help with the big hammer, but Confucianism... just use his mouth to show his humanitarian spirit.
"Leave the Confucian affairs to Zifang himself. Let's plan a rescue plan for Bandit Zhi and Pao Ding first." Master Ban brought the topic back on track.
"Mr. Gai, do you know anything about the situation inside the Fang-gnawing Prison?"
Genie shook his head, "I know very little about this prison. I've only heard of its name."
After answering, Gai Nie looked at Wei Zhuang.
Regarding the intelligence on the empire, Liusha probably knows more.
Master Ban and others also turned their attention to Wei Zhuang.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Wei Zhuang squinted his eyes, glanced around, and replied with a cold snort:
"Don't look at me, I don't know."
"Isn't this prison from the empire? How come you, Quicksand, don't understand?" Big Iron Hammer subconsciously asked loudly after hearing this.
"Ha!" Wei Zhuang twisted his neck and asked with a sneer, "Why do people in quicksand want to know about prisons?"
"Do you think people in Quicksand will be imprisoned?"
"Hey..." Sledgehammer's yin and yang answer made him angry, but when he thought about what he said carefully, he was suddenly discouraged and speechless.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Indeed, the man who is quicksand is the man.
There is really no need for people to understand an institution like prison that they will never come into contact with in their lifetime.
"Ah, this..." Master Ban was also a little dumbfounded, but he could only accept the reality and sighed softly, "In this case, let's wait and ask Zifang later. He should understand."
"Let's discuss who will participate in the rescue."
The big hammer heard the first squeak and shouted, "I'll do it!"
Master Ben glanced sideways at the big hammer who volunteered and was eager to try, and gave him a pass without hesitation:
"Forget it. He's too big and his target is too obvious. We are here to save people, not to attack difficulties."
The originally excited Sledgehammer made Doutou pour a basin of cold water on him, but he still refused to give up and tried to argue with reason:
"I'm a little bigger, but as you said when you made the plan before, everyone knows about the people we want to rescue, so I guess there's no way I can avoid being discovered, right?"
"And I'm very useful!"
"Although my strength is not as good as that of Xiao Gao Xuenu, I am strong. The prison is so mysterious. There may be many traps in it. A strong man can definitely solve a lot of troubles."
Xue Nu shook her head and objected, "No need, it's too dangerous. Xiao Gao and I should go."
Gao Jianli nodded and helped, "Two people are just enough, too many are inconvenient, so just the two of us will go."
At this time, Gai Nie interjected, "I'd better go."
"Zhang Han is not a good person to get along with. If he knew in advance that the Mo family would rob the prison, he might have specially made arrangements to target you."
"It's more appropriate for me to do it."
Before anyone from the Mo family could react to Gai Nie's request, Wei Zhuang spoke first:
