When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 125 Lost and Gained

"Your Majesty, the power of the snare net cannot be underestimated. There may not be people who snare the net in your majesty's mansion." Seeing that Cheng Xun agreed to protect her, Lai Ai said hastily.

"What do you mean by that?" Cheng Yu asked coldly.

He heard the distrust in Lao Ai's words, which was distrust in his ability.

"Your Majesty, killers with snares are everywhere, and now that the snares belong to the King, if he wants to take action against Your Majesty, he can easily infiltrate the people in the snares into Junshan's mansion." Lai Ai said worriedly.

"If such a situation really happened, my personal life and death would be a trivial matter. If it gave King Qin a reason to take action against the emperor, then my crime would be serious." Lao Ai said.

"Could it be that the net is really that pervasive?" Hearing what Lai Ai said, Cheng Xun's face also changed a little.

"Yes, if I'm still in the trap, it's not very difficult to infiltrate people into Lord Chang'an's mansion," Lao Ai said.

"This is a trouble." Cheng Yu hesitated.

······
"Miss, someone has broken into the mansion." In the courtyard where Bai Ling lived, a girl dressed as a dancer said.

"Human? Li Wu, have you ever seen who it is?" asked Bai Ling who was wiping his long sword.

"No, but that sword feels familiar." The maid named Li Wu replied.

"What sword?" Bai Ling asked.

"The sword is in the scabbard, so you can't get a full view of it, but the hilt is like the hilt of a sword that hides the sun." Li Wu replied.

"You are a trapper, so you shouldn't be mistaken, but cover up the sun?" Bai Ling said, putting down the long sword in his hand, and examining the woman in front of him.

"It seems that Luo Wang is about to undergo major changes." Bai Ling thought about it and said nothing more.

This girl named Li Wu is a dancer in the mansion of Lord Chang'an. If it wasn't for Bai Ling who is extremely sensitive to murderous intent, she might not be able to discover another layer of identity behind Li Wu.

However, Bai Ling finally found out.

If under normal circumstances, if a killer was discovered at home, Bai Ling would definitely clear it up, but that was just a normal situation.

She has never regarded this place as her own home, and it has nothing to do with who appears in this home.

Therefore, regarding Li Wu's existence, Bai Ling chose to acquiesce.

And Li Wu also chose to work for Bai Ling temporarily because of the order, and thus, the scene just now happened.

······
Although it was already late at night, the lights were still flickering in the study of Xiangguo Mansion.

Lu Buwei, who was sitting behind the desk, was in a very bad mood at the moment, or rather, he hadn't been in a good mood all day.

The net was lost in his hands. To Lu Buwei, this was not only a blow to power, but also a blow to prestige.

The former is only a tangible loss, while the latter is something fatal.

"Have Luo Wang's personnel files and keepsakes been sent to Xianyang Palace?" Lu Buwei said to the middle-aged man who opened the door and walked in.

"Yes, all the personnel files and tokens of Luowang have been sent to Xianyang Palace." The visitor said.

Under the light, one could see that the visitor was about thirty years old, with a white face and no beard, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Lu Buwei's.

He is the son of Lu Buwei. Among Lu Buwei's descendants, the one with the lowest sense of existence is named Lu Dan.

"Today's incident is really abnormal. Looking back on it later, I always feel that there is someone behind it who is pushing this incident." Lu Dan said.

"Do you also feel this way? It stands to reason that whoever has benefited the most from this matter is most likely to be the person behind the scenes. If this is the case, only the king is the most suspicious." Lu Buwei thought. .

"However, your Majesty should not show such traces in his work," Lu Dan said.

"That's right, your majesty is so thoughtful that you can't do it so conspicuously." Lu Buwei said.

"Maybe it was really Lai Ai's own assertion that was caught by Mr. Changping?" Lu Dan hesitated.

"In that case, there would be too many coincidences." Lu Buwei said.

"Where is Lord Chang'an?" Lu Dan asked.

"Although everyone has suspicions, let's forget Chang'an Jun. He doesn't have that kind of wisdom. Instead of doubting him, it's better to believe that it's Lai Ai's own opinion, so that Changping Jun caught the handle." Lu Buwei looked disdainful said.

"However, the king's place is still the most suspect. Moreover, with the king's place, we must prepare for the worst, because even the slightest misjudgment may bring fatal consequences. Maybe the king really took action." Lu Buwei continued.

"Your Majesty, can you really not wait for two years?" Lu Dan said worriedly.

"Maybe, I was too inflated before, so that I was blinded by the power. Although this incident was beyond my expectations, the root cause was still in me. When I thought about throwing the net to Xianyang, I I have already dug a big hole for myself, and now I have fallen into this trap ahead of time, maybe it is a good thing for me." Lu Buwei pondered.

After the day's events, Lu Buwei suddenly realized that while pursuing power, he had unknowingly pushed himself onto a dead end that was hard to turn back.

"Is it really the king?" Lu Dan asked.

"Forget it, this matter is over, and it's useless to think about it. Besides, bad things can turn into good things. Even if the king really took action, that's fine. At least it proves that the king still needs me to sit down." In the position of Xiangguo, otherwise, he can completely lure me away until I can't turn back, and then take me down in one fell swoop." Lu Buwei smiled immediately, and his sad face disappeared.

"That's right, the current situation may be the best outcome for my father," Lu Dan said.

"Go down, it's getting late, it's too late to go back, if you wake up my precious granddaughter, you and your wife won't have to sleep tonight." Lu Buwei said.

"Father should also go to bed early," Lu Dan said.

"It's time to take a good rest." Lu Buwei said inexplicably.

Lu Dan returned to his courtyard, saw the lights in the bedroom were still flickering, knew that his wife was still waiting for him, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Husband, are you done with your work?" Just as Lu Dan walked to the door, a woman had already opened the door.

"Well, I'm done with my work, and this matter can be concluded." Lu Dan said.

"That's good," the woman turned around and closed the door tightly.

"The pheasant girl slept soundly." Lu Dan came to a cradle bed, looked at the baby inside and said.

"The child has nothing to think about, so he sleeps soundly." The woman smiled gently.

"Indeed, I hope I can sleep so soundly tonight." Lu Dan said.

What responded to Lu Dan was a resentful look.
