    At about noon, Xiangbang Mansion is on the west side of Xianyang Palace.

    Lu Buwei was kneeling on the main seat in his lobby, sitting upright, with a gloomy face, he glanced around at the diners sitting on the left and right and said:

    ¡°It¡¯s such a big deal to assassinate the Queen Mother of Xia.

    Why didn¡¯t anyone notify me before?

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me how secretive what that idiot Zhao did was so secretive that you didn¡¯t even know about it, and you only found out after it failed.

    She is a harem woman and has never been involved in the military.

    How many people can you have on hand?

    Where did the assassins dispatched come from?

    You are so brave.

    ¡°Could it be that you want to turn your back on me and take refuge in Zhao Ji, that stupid harem woman?  "

    Half an hour ago, he learned the relevant information from the servants in the palace, but when none of the disciples he served told him about it, he was already furious.

    At this time, it is only natural to call these people over and beat them angrily.

    This matter is for him.

    He was not only angry because Zhao Ji was disobedient and made arbitrary decisions and assassinated the Queen Mother of Xia. He was also angry about this matter. His disciples could not have known about it, but they did not tell him at all. This had nothing to do with betraying him.  What's the difference?

    This is where he gets extremely angry.

    He spent huge sums of money to support these hangers-on.

    It¡¯s not about letting them be free and easy.

    They were not asked to work for Zhao Ji.

    "Xiangbang calm down and please allow us to defend ourselves.

    Although a few of us knew about this matter, what we knew was completely different from what happened.

    "Yesterday the Empress Dowager Zhao sent someone to notify me.

    He wanted a thousand-year-old nanmu coffin, but he stopped because of the death of a female official who was close to him.

    Although the coffin found this time is quite precious.

    "However, I don't know about the affairs in the palace, let alone the Queen Mother's private plans. In addition, the Prime Minister has always ordered me to provide as much as possible to the Queen Mother Zhao."

    So there was no doubt.

    ¡°When I know the official purpose of the coffin.

    It was already an hour ago.  "

    Lu Buwei was angry, but some of the diners he sat down also felt that they were very innocent.

    In fact, these disciples have always obeyed his orders and did not have an intermediary responsible for overall management and information exchange. In addition, some things in the palace were not easily accessible to them.

    So they really don't know.

    The one who just spoke in self-defense, his usual task is to provide what Zhao Ji asks for.

    As for why the other party wants something.

    Then he has no right to ask!

    Although it is indeed strange to ask for a coffin, the Queen Mother Zhao had to live with a man before, so how could it be weird to ask for a coffin? How could he think twice about it?

    ¡°Xiangbang, I provided the assassin.

    "But Queen Mother Zhao sent someone with your token to recruit the assassin. You also know that our lineage has always respected orders but not others. Since she can produce the token, we will obey the order.

    And what she provided was your token, so naturally we will not report it to the superior.  "

    The retainer who had always been responsible for the assassination mission of Xiangbang Mansion felt that he had been wronged even more.

    They have always followed orders.

    Theoretically speaking, Lu Buwei should have been informed when all the tokens were issued.

    So after receiving the order, they naturally did not need to ask Lu Buwei for confirmation. When Zhao Ji asked the assassin to enter the palace, she took Lu Buwei's token, so they would not refuse.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "Xiangbang, you met with the Queen Mother Zhao yesterday.

    She once asked for a token to use.

    She said she wanted two people to protect her, but you asked her to get her own token and mobilize her own personnel.  "

    After listening to the words of the assassin leader below.

    The housekeeper next to Lu Buwei.

    ??Immediately whispered into his ear.

    As soon as these words came out, Lu Buwei felt embarrassed, and at the same time, he secretly hated Zhao Ji for being disobedient.

    Making your own decisions privately will ruin his plans.

    Just when Lu Buwei was thinking about how to explain the token, Li Si, the chief official sitting third to his left, stood up and said:??

    "Xiangbang, please allow me to say a few words.

    As far as I know, the Queen Mother Zhao found out that something had happened the night before yesterday and wanted to murder the Queen Mother Xia.

    Planning yesterday

    And we took action last night.

    It can be said that everything happened suddenly, and there was no specific plan or preparation. It was completely up to Queen Mother Zhao to do whatever she wanted.

    Her actions were not planned.

    It was done on impulse.

    "She acted too fast, and we never thought she would do this, so we didn't check for a while, failed to notice some details in advance, and reported it to Xiangbang in time. Don't blame Xiangbang for being reckless.  "

    Li Si stood up at this time, not only to explain why they failed to learn about the relevant situation in time and report it, but also to alleviate the embarrassment when the token was mentioned earlier.

    Just now the customer below mentioned the token.

    Li Si immediately understood that there must be Lu Buwei's own fault, for example, he might have given the token to Zhao Ji for a period of time.

    But Lu Buwei is the prime minister.

    "To put it bluntly, he can even be considered their master, so how can he admit his mistake?"

    So if he comes out to speak now, it can be considered as handing a ladder to Lu Buwei so that he can get off the donkey and avoid getting into the issue of tokens.

    By then everyone will be embarrassed.

    "Xiangbang, what Li Si said makes sense.

    The most difficult thing in the world to predict and be prepared for in advance is someone¡¯s sudden decision.

    What Empress Dowager Zhao did.

    It was obviously a sudden decision.

    It is really difficult for us to detect it in time.

    This is also a matter of course.  "

    As soon as Li Si finished speaking, Wei Tan, who was sitting opposite Li Si, immediately stood up and echoed.

    ??Through the words of the two people, we can clearly see the difference between the two. One is asking the Prime Minister to forgive me, and the other is a sudden decision that is difficult for us to detect in time, which is a matter of course.

    The latter has attainments in language.

    Obviously far inferior to Li Si.

    What he said was not as pleasant as what others said.

    ¡°I already know, you don¡¯t need to say anything else.

    I am calling you here this time not specifically to hold you accountable. How to deal with this incident is the key.

    The Empress Dowager Zhao is now under house arrest. In name, this matter has come to an end, but no one can guarantee that the King or the Queen Mother Xia will not investigate further, in case it comes to us.

    You should also know what will happen.

    So for the next period of time, your top priority is to quickly reduce your manpower and try to erase all evidence and traces related to Queen Mother Zhao, and wait until this matter transitions smoothly.  "

    Lu Buwei knew very well that his past status as a businessman ultimately made him unable to be accepted by the native aristocracy of the Qin State. There were some things he could do, including serving as regent and serving as the king's father-in-law.

    But it involves the sensitive matters of Da Qin Xungui.

    He was determined not to get involved.

    ?????????Including rebellion and murder of the royal family.

    "If others mistakenly believe that everything Empress Dowager Zhao did was instigated by him, then it may be much more difficult for him to work in Qin in the future than in the past.

    "No! I will obey the order!"

    The seriousness of the matter cannot be unknown to all the guests here. They and Lu Buwei are obviously grasshoppers on the same rope now. If they don't cooperate together at this time, is it possible that they are seeking death?

    We all have ambitions.

    ¡°Whoever wants to achieve success but not achieve fame will die.

    Afterwards, they discussed together for a while and then dispersed again to do their own things.

    ???????Erasure of evidence.

    Erasure traces of erasure traces.

    Disturbing audio and visual disturbance.

    Re-layout re-layout.

    In short, there is something to do.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
