47, Li Jian was assassinated
Looking at Lu Buwei's leaving figure, Mao Sui hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"Doctor, I don't believe in Lu Buwei."
Li Jian looked at Mao Sui with a smile: "Why?"
Mao Sui said: "So Lu Buwei is a businessman, and businessmen have always been treacherous and untrustworthy."
Li Jian laughed: "Then how do you think Lu Buwei is so big today?"
Mao Sui gave the answer: "Either the officials and businessmen collude, or they rely on treacherous money."
Li Jian's smile became gentler: "Go back to sleep, there are still many things to deal with when you wake up tomorrow."
Businessmen are indeed treacherous and untrustworthy, and there are many examples everywhere.
But when faced with extremely amazing returns, the moral qualities of every businessman will be comparable to those of a saint.
They will defend the contract to the death until they can receive that amazing reward.
Only interests are eternal.
Time just passes day by day.
The government did not find any reliable evidence for the death of the Li family's managers, nor did it find any suspicious prisoners.
As for Rangers, every day there are all kinds of people who claim to have exclusive information, but no one can receive a three-fold reward - all of which are fake information.
As for the annexation of Lu Buwei's property, it was temporarily stopped after Lu Buwei left.
Even if it is temporarily stopped, Li Jian’s shops and industries are still very considerable, and the profits he earns every year are enough for Li Jian to not need to consider the amount of money for a long time.
Just as Li Jian began to consider whether he should investigate in another way, Mao Sui put a new piece of information in front of Li Jian.
"Doctor, this is the information sent by Zhu Yang, saying that some unidentified people seem to be operating in this place recently."
Li Jian thought for several seconds before he realized that Zhu Yang was the retainer who was so angry that he went to argue because he was despised by Pingyuan Jun's concubine.
Li Jian pondered for a moment and said to Mao Sui: "Call the servants and guests from our mansion to go to this place."
Mao Sui asked, "Do you need to report to the official?"
Li Jian smiled and said, "There is no evidence, how can I report it to the official?"
The place Zhu Yang mentioned is located in a yard in a civilian area in Handan City.
Like most cities in the Warring States Period, Handan City was divided into countless small, similar parts to communities.
Most of these communities are called "fang", and only the market that specializes in selling goods is called "shi".
The arrival of dozens of fully armed servants and servants undoubtedly put a lot of psychological pressure on the residents in this yard.
Accompanied by the thumping sound of doors, the large number of figures on the not-wide streets disappeared instantly.
Mao Sui pointed to a courtyard not far away: "It's where, doctor."
Li Jian looked at him and found that this courtyard was ordinary and not much different from other courtyards.
"Let our people disperse and surround this place." Li Jian issued an order.
Since Zhu Yangneng came to tell Li Jian this news, Li Jian chose to believe it.
To a certain extent, what Li Jian believed in was not Zhu Yang himself, but the quality of the knights in this era that he would repay kindness.
He had just surrounded the courtyard, and before Li Jian could issue a new order, Mao Sui suddenly shouted.
"Be careful, doctor!"
The next moment, Mao Sui jumped up from the horse and threw Li Jian on the horse down.
With a bang, Li Jian felt a heavy contact with the ground, and a severe pain almost fainted.
Shouting everywhere kept coming.
"There are assassins!"
"Protect the doctor!"
It seemed that only a few seconds passed, and then it seemed that an extremely long time had passed.
Li Jian suddenly woke up and everything in his sight became clear.
A crossbow arrow was inserted a few steps away from Li Jian. The tip had completely submerged into the ground and the tail had just stopped trembling.
Mao Sui pulled Li Jian up: "Doctor, is it okay?"
Li Jian shook his head and said, "Where did it come from?"
Mao Sui, who almost failed to protect the master, had anger on his face: "These guys seemed to have secret whistles, and they actually wanted to take the opportunity to plot against the doctor. Please wait here, so I will take them out!"
Several servants held shields and protected Li Jian vigilantly.
Under Li Jian's gaze, Mao Sui held a long sword and kicked open the courtyard gate with his feet, and rushed into the courtyard with other servants.
A sound of weapons intersecting, and then quickly subsided.
Mao Sui walked out with a man who was knocked out, with a proud look on his face.
"Doctor, these people are all dead soldiers, but I successfully knocked one out and can be taken back for interrogation later."
Li Jian was about to speak when a while suddenly another whistle sound was shocked.
Another crossbow arrow shot into the air, but this time the target was not Li Jian, but the dead soldier who was knocked out.
The crossbow arrow directly pierced the dead man's chest and killed him instantly.
Mao Sui was stunned at first, then furiously rushed to the crown.
"Damn it, there are other assassins hiding! Hurry up and surround the other side!"
After a storm, Mao Sui appeared in front of Li Jian again.
"Doctor, it was my minister who neglected, and the assassin escaped."
Mao Sui's expression on his face was very depressed.
The deaths of the two managers have always made Mao Sui feel uneasy. He finally had hope but was extinguished, which really hit him a lot.
Li Jian smiled and said, "It's okay, although they managed to escape this time, they also showed a lot of flaws."
Mao Sui looked at Li Jian, and his eyes showed expectation: "Doctor has discovered something?"
Li Jian picked up the crossbow arrow that almost killed him and showed it to Mao Sui: "See it, this is a standard crossbow arrow unique to Qin, which is completely different from the style of other countries."
Mao Sui was surprised: "The Qin people?"
Li Jian nodded and pointed to the corpse on the ground: "When you were chasing me, I checked these dead soldiers. Although their clothes outside were all wearing Hu clothes from our Zhao Kingdom, their underwear liners and even their hair buns still retained the appearance of the Qin people."
Mao Sui was shocked: "The Qin people are actually Qin people? But why is this?"
For Mao Sui, he always felt that only Li Jian's political opponents, namely people from Zhao, could do this.
Mao Sui really didn't expect that the initiator behind this matter could have something to do with Qin.
Li Jian said: "I also want to know this answer. You can send someone to notify the government first, and then we will find the answer to this question."
Mao Sui subconsciously asked: "I wonder where the doctor wants to find this answer?"
Li Jian smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to Pingyuan Jun Mansion."
Pingyuanjun, the head of Zhao State's intelligence.
Even the Qin standard crossbow appeared. It is impossible for this Pingyuan Jun to be unaware of it at all, right?
