Chapter 197

Su Xuan was also a bit curious. The people outside were coming aggressively, ill-intentioned, and there were not a few of them.

They came with murderous intent, clearly wanting to kill him and Yan Lingji here.

"It's not hard to know the truth; just catch a few alive."

Su Xuan said, gently placing the black chess piece in his hand onto the board. At the same time, the two swords he had placed not far away suddenly unsheathed. Red and white lights flashed and disappeared, finally breaking through the window and flying out.

Screams immediately echoed.

Yan Lingji listened to the screams, her eyebrows raised slightly, and then continued to play chess with Su Xuan.

Su Xuan had actually seen through her plan and did not make that move according to her expectations, which meant that if she wanted to win against Su Xuan, she would still need to spend some effort.

She gradually pondered the next move.

As for those people outside, she did not take them to heart.

No matter what their background was, anyway, in front of Su Xuan, they were no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

After a while.

The screams outside also came to an abrupt end.

"You lost!"

Su Xuan placed a chess piece on the board, ignored Yan Lingji's unwillingness, stood up abruptly, opened the door, and went outside.

Outside, many corpses dressed in black lay on the ground. Some of them had their eyes wide open, in disbelief, looking as if they had died with grievances.

But not everyone was dead.

Since Su Xuan said to leave some alive, he certainly left some alive.

Most of them were killed by flying swords, but there were also a few people who, under Su Xuan's deliberate manipulation, were knocked unconscious by the swords.

Bringing these few survivors into the house, Su Xuan looked at Yan Lingji and said, "Next, it's your turn to perform."

Yan Lingji knew that this was Su Xuan wanting her to use the Fire Charm Technique to interrogate the truth from these people.

As for why leave so many alive?

Of course, it was to prevent someone from being unyielding and unwilling to reveal the truth even to death.

First, waking these people up, and then, with the help of the Fire Charm Technique, Yan Lingji did not spend much effort to interrogate the truth.

The answer was both surprising and felt like a matter of course.

These people came from the Luo Wang.

This was not a secret, mainly because the Luo Wang's uniform was too distinct. From the spider web and spider patterns on their clothes, one could guess their identity.

And the one who directed these Luo Wang people was... Lü Buwei.

Lü Buwei had actually found his hiding place and sent Luo Wang assassins to assassinate him.

This made Su Xuan stunned for a moment.

After a little thought, he gave Yan Lingji another task, "Go find Gai Nie!"

Yan Lingji looked deeply at Su Xuan, somewhat dissatisfied with Su Xuan ordering her around like this, but she was a person who said one thing but meant another, and her body still honestly followed Su Xuan's instructions.

She left here, and soon, she found Gai Nie.

Not long after, Gai Nie hurried over.

When he saw the corpses in the courtyard, his expression changed slightly, and then he saw the few survivors that Su Xuan had deliberately left behind.

"Luo Wang!"

The fact that the Luo Wang intended to assassinate Su Xuan without success was soon known to Seeing Ying Zheng.

He was both angry and fortunate.

The anger was that someone had actually found Su Xuan's location and sent people to assassinate Su Xuan. During the Yongcheng battle that day, although Su Xuan had appeared, he did not stay long, and afterward, he did not appear by his side again, yet he was still found, which exceeded Seeing Ying Zheng's expectations. And the fortune was that fortunately, Su Xuan's strength was powerful, so the person in the dark did not succeed.

If Su Xuan were a strategist type of talent with no power to truss a chicken, he would probably be dead after this assassination.

However, this incident ultimately served as a reminder to Seeing Ying Zheng.

Even after the capping ceremony ended and Lü Buwei had returned power to him, Lü Buwei still possessed a powerful force in his hands, and this force was—the Luo Wang.

It was not a good thing that the Luo Wang continued to be controlled by Lü Buwei.

In Xinzheng city that day, the Luo Wang had once assassinated him.

On the way from Wu Sui to Xianyang, the Luo Wang struck again.

This time, the Luo Wang attacked Su Xuan again.

The weapon of Qin Guo had clearly become a private tool controlled by others.

For Seeing Ying Zheng, this was an unacceptable thing.

Originally, after the mother's affair was over, he was prepared to settle accounts with Lü Buwei after a while, but now, he had already made a decision.

"Zhao Gao, draft an imperial decree for me!"

Seeing Ying Zheng looked at the eunuch beside him and said coldly.

That day, he was able to learn about Lao Ai's rebellion entirely thanks to Zhao Gao's report, so after the Yongcheng affair ended, he gradually began to reuse Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao was indeed a servant who understood people's hearts; at least, during this period, Seeing Ying Zheng found him very easy to use.

"Yes!"

Zhao Gao lowered his head and responded, a cold sneer involuntarily forming at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that Lü Buwei was finished.

Although after the Lao Ai affair, Lü Buwei was actually already finished, if he hadn't acted recklessly, he might have been able to hold on for a while longer, but as he repeatedly violated the King of Qin's taboos out of unwillingness in his heart during this period, the King of Qin could no longer tolerate him.

But this was also good.

Although after Lao Ai's death, he took over all of Lao Ai's legacy and mastered a part of the Luo Wang, the Luo Wang was ultimately controlled by Lü Buwei. If Lü Buwei also fell, he could take the opportunity to completely master the Luo Wang.

In Zhao Gao's eyes, there was an ambition that Seeing Ying Zheng could not see.

The next day, at the morning court, after many ministers gathered, Seeing Ying Zheng fiercely attacked Lü Buwei.

"Investigate the Chancellor of the State, Lü Buwei, for his involvement in the Lao Ai criminal case. He has violated national law and betrayed the virtues of a subject, ultimately causing Qin Guo to be shamed and thrown into chaos. After public discussion at the Great Court, Lü Buwei is dismissed from his position as Chancellor, allowed to retain his title as Marquis of Wenxin, and moved to his fief in Luoyang for his later years. After the decree is issued, Lü Buwei is permitted to stay in Xianyang for ten days, and once the aftermath is settled, he must leave the country immediately."

Once this decree was issued, Lü Buwei's expression changed drastically.

And what shocked him even more was that the letters he secretly exchanged with Lao Ai were brought out by Seeing Ying Zheng as evidence.

After Lao Ai died, he had once ordered people to destroy much of the evidence.

As a result, he now discovered that the evidence had not been destroyed. ===== CHAPTER 199 =====
