"If you really want to go, I won't stop you, but there is one person you must be on guard against, otherwise, it will be difficult to succeed!"

"Who?"

"Li Xu!"

When Chen Yu heard the name, he was shocked!

"Why is it him?!"

"This man claims to be righteous, but in fact he is fickle. He also promised us that when the time comes, he will lead the people in an uprising! But in this battle of Handan, he has devoted all his efforts to the Qin Dynasty! I don't know what he is going to do!"

Hearing this, Chen Yu drew his sword, "I understand. If I see Li Xu, I will kill him!"

The others responded, "Yes!"

After a while, a large group of people approached the dungeon. It was very difficult to assassinate the First Emperor!

However, breaking into the dungeon and silencing the Handan prefect was a piece of cake for the old ministers of Zhao who had been planning for many years!

In the dungeon, the county magistrate, wearing prison clothes, sat on the ground, looking at the faint full moon outside through the window with a normal expression. After learning that Fusu had descended on Handan, he had already anticipated his fate, and this moment was unavoidable!

The tyranny made the people suffer terribly, and on the one hand he had to protect the remnants of the Zhao State, but on the other hand he felt somewhat guilty. This feeling of tearing tormented him for a long time.

It was originally thought that when Qin II ascended the throne, the world would be in chaos, the war would start, and the Qin Dynasty would be over. But suddenly, the Shangjun border army, under the command of Meng Tian, ​​went south to attack Xianyang, and Fusu even personally fought at Luoshui, made three laws, and revised the laws!

At a certain moment, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from outside.

Dark shadows are spreading outside the dungeon!

Soon, there was a "bang" and the sound of a door opening was heard.

Two men walked in with swords in hand. They were Chen Yu and Zhang Er.

"You two brothers are here so soon!" The county magistrate turned his head and said calmly.

"Brother Li, we have no choice but to do this!" Zhang Er was embarrassed.

Chen Yu's face was fierce, "After the Second Emperor was killed, why didn't you see us again?"

"It's meaningless. What's the point of meeting him?"

"Brother Li, you are confused!"

The county magistrate was relieved, "I have done what I should do, so what's the harm in dying?"

Chen Yu roared, drew his sword and slashed at the governor, but was stopped by Zhang Er.

"Zhang Er, what are you doing?!" Chen Yu was furious.

Zhang Er replied, "Let Brother Li commit suicide and preserve his last dignity!"

"If it weren't for him, we would have died all these years!"

Chen Yu threw the sword in front of the county magistrate and turned away.

Zhang Er cupped his hands and said, "At the beginning, the three of us brothers had a great conversation, but we never thought that we would end up like this!"

"Brother Li, have a safe journey!"

……

On the other hand, Xiang Chu found a large number of anonymous letters in the county magistrate's mansion!

All of this is evidence of premeditated collusion with the remnants of the Zhao State!

He immediately said to Pang Luan beside him: "Go to the dungeon immediately!"

Pang Luan took the order and left!

At the same time, in the Zhao palace, Fusu couldn't fall asleep!

He was chatting with Liu Ji and others in the pavilion.

Without the constraints of ruler and subject, the two of them actually called each other brothers in private!

Fusu looked at the bearded "founding emperor of the Han Dynasty" in front of him and felt that all this was a dream. "Brother Liu, can I ask you something?"

"Brother, you have done me a great favor, just tell me!"

Your Majesty insists that Liu Ji address you as brother!

Xiao He, Fan Kuai and others were very puzzled, but they knew from that moment on that Liu Ji was no longer the head of Si Shui Pavilion!

"If I hadn't shown up, when you started your rebellion, had you ever thought about your ultimate outcome?"

Liu Ji sighed, "It's just a narrow escape from death!"

"The laborers escaped and the deadline was delayed. If we hadn't taken refuge in the mountains, we would all have died!"

"It happened that the Second Emperor was unjust and rebels were everywhere, so I came out of seclusion!"

Fusu nodded, "Don't blame the people, it's all because of bad policies!"

Liu Ji stood up suddenly. "When the First Emperor was in power, Liu Ji believed that the remnants of the six kingdoms must be severely suppressed, and it was okay for the laws to be a little strict."

Fusu laughed, "You actually have such an idea!"

"However, during the Second Emperor's reign, the people's hearts had already withered, and a relaxed policy should be adopted to appease them, so as not to force Chen Sheng and others to rebel!"

If it were someone else, they would never dare to speak like this.

Xiao He was shocked by Liu Ji's idea, and looked at Liu Ji with eyes as if to say, when you were the Duke of Pei, you were always making excuses, saying that you had no talent or virtue, so how could you be qualified for such a big responsibility? How come you suddenly got it now!

Little did they know that Liu Ji was only retreating in order to advance!

Otherwise, who would obey me, a mere pavilion chief?

See Fusu smiling!

Liu Ji continued: "In my opinion, Chen Sheng and other thieves will not be able to achieve anything and will be wiped out sooner or later. I think the biggest threat to Your Majesty right now is not the rebels..."

Fusu smiled knowingly and finished the next sentence for Liu Ji, "It's the remnants of the six kingdoms!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Fan Kuai on the side was overwhelmed. Since he couldn't understand it anyway, he just picked up the jar of wine and started drinking!

The look in Xiao He's eyes changed when he looked at Liu Ji.

"Brother, don't look at me as a slovenly person who only cares about eating and drinking at the banquet today!" Liu Ji opened his heart, "But after staying in Handan for nearly half a month, I have figured out who has hidden ulterior motives and who is loyal to you. I can't say I'm completely right, but at least I guessed eight out of ten right!"

Fusu said: "Tell me about it!"

Collecting intelligence on Handan officials was the first thing Liu Ji did after entering Handan!

Just for this moment!

He finally waited!

This is the time to accomplish meritorious deeds!

Liu Ji knew what kind of person Fusu was, so he stopped hiding it. "Except for those sent by the imperial court, all other officials in Handan, even the local county magistrates, have problems."

Fusu was shocked by this statement. He originally thought that the people with problems would only be in Handan at most, but now that it was said like this, things seemed a little serious!

"The county governor is colluding with the remnants of the Zhao State!"

"County Supervisor, the remnants of the six nations that were killed were replaced by death row prisoners!"

"The county lieutenant secretly sold the copper mine to the remnants of the Zhao State!"

"The garrison commander Li Xu embezzled taxes and colluded with Zhao's former ministers, playing both sides!"

Every word of Liu Ji's four-character verse is shocking.

"If it weren't for your Majesty's presence, these people would have surrendered to the enemy in no time!"

Xiao He was at a loss. Liu Ji had figured out everything. "You go in and out of romantic places every day. I thought..."

Liu Ji cupped his hands and said, "Sir Xiao, His Majesty has been kind to me in Pei County, and this is what I should do!"

Fan Kuai on the side teased: "Brother, did you go to the widow's house to gather this information?"

"You are looking for death!" Liu Ji kicked him and Fan Kuai staggered away!

At this moment, Fusu's face became more gloomy, and he said to the guards behind him:

"Go tell Xiang Chu right away and have him take people to tie up Li Xu. Also, send more people to the dungeon to prevent any accidents!"

"promise!"

However, just as Fusu gave this order, the entire Handan dungeon was already engulfed in flames and screams resounded throughout the dungeon. When Xiang Chu arrived, the fighting was already over!
