Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 276: Lin Xuan’s plan to attack people’s hearts, servant tells the truth! A wooden sign to prove your identity!

Lin Xuan looked at the servant sitting on the haystack with his hands and feet in chains.

When the servant heard Lin Xuan's words, he reacted instantly.

"Thank you sir for your life-saving grace, otherwise I would have died at the hands of an assassin today."

The servant looked at Fusu and the young man beside him, and kept thanking him with his hands.

"Since you said it, I can help you."

"In order to repay your kindness, tell me everything you have hidden."

"To be able to serve as an errand in Mr. Fusu's house, you are also a smart man."

Lin Xuan looked calmly at the servant on the haystack.

Fusu on the side was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Xuan's words, and quickly reacted and looked at Lin Xuan and said:
"Teacher, do you mean that this servant did not tell everything he knew?"

"Since this person dares to poison, he will naturally think of the possibility of being caught if he fails to poison."

"If the master had directly executed this servant yesterday, he would have revealed the hidden information in order to survive."

"The reason why I didn't say anything was because I wanted to spare his life for the time being."

Lin Xuan looked at the pale servant sitting on the haystack with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

When the servant explained the matter yesterday, Lin Xuan knew that this man must have some secrets that he had not yet told.

Lin Xuan was planning to use this person to ask Zhao Gao to send assassins to assassinate him.

For the time being, he did not ask the servant about the secret he was hiding.

Fusu had a hint of anger on his face when he heard Lin Xuan's words, and looked at the servant who poisoned him yesterday.

He didn't expect that this servant would keep secrets under such circumstances.

The servant sitting on the haystack saw Fusu's eyes as if he wanted to kill someone.

With fear in his heart, the servant looked at the young man next to Fusu.

He was even more afraid of this young man. He didn't expect that the secret he had hidden to save his life would be revealed by this young man.

"The villain chose to hide this secret in order to save his life."

"If it weren't for Mr. Fusu and this gentleman, the villain would have been eliminated by this assassin."

"The villain is willing to tell this secret. I only hope that the young master and sir will spare my life."

The servant looked at Fusu and the young man who frightened him, and admitted that he was hiding a secret.

"Humph!"

"You have no room for bargaining. Tell the secret."

"Your survival depends on whether your secret matters."

Fusu's face returned to calmness and he looked at the servant sitting on the haystack.

"The villain understands that it will definitely be useful for the villain to hide this secret."

"Yesterday, the villain told the young master and the gentleman that the man in the hat was discussing poisoning with the villain."

"The villain didn't lie when he said this, he just hid an important clue."

"After the man in the hat finished explaining the villain's affairs, a wooden sign fell from his body when he left."

"The man in the hat did not notice that a wooden sign fell off his body, and the villain did not remind the man in the hat."

"When the man in the bamboo hat left, the villain picked up the wooden sign."

"I have never seen such a sign before, but I am sure that this wooden sign represents the identity of the man in the hat."

"If the identity of the man in the hat can be known through the wooden sign, the young master and the gentleman can know the true face of the man in the hat."

The servant looked at Fusu and the two and revealed the secret he had hidden.

Lin Xuan and Fusu looked at each other after hearing the servant's words, with a smile on their faces.

The information hidden by this servant is indeed very important.

"Where did you hide this sign?"

"The villain picked up this sign and took it back to where he slept. This sign was hidden in the place where the villain slept."

The servant heard Fusu's inquiry and quickly revealed the place where the wooden sign was hidden.

"Somebody come!"

"Master!" The soldier outside the door heard Fusu's voice, opened the door and walked in.

"Go to the room where this person slept and look for a wooden sign."

"Find this sign and bring it to me."

"As ordered!"

After hearing Fusu's instructions, the soldier turned and left the room.

After a while, the soldier hurried in, holding a wooden sign in his hands.

"Sir, this wooden sign was found where this servant slept."

The soldier came to Fusu, holding the wooden sign in his hands.

"Thank you for your hard work. Keep guarding outside and don't allow anyone to come in."

"As ordered!"

When the soldier heard Fusu's words, he turned around and left the room and closed the door.

Fusu came to the servant with the wooden sign and said, "The wooden sign that I am holding is the one that fell from the man in the hat, right?"

"Young Master is right, it's this wooden sign."

Fusu nodded after hearing the servant's words and confirmed that what he was holding was the wooden sign dropped by the man in the hat.

Fusu looked at the wooden sign in his hand with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Teacher, this wooden sign is unique to the eunuchs in the palace."

"Now that we have both human and physical evidence, we can confirm that the man in the hat is a eunuch in the palace."

Fusu handed the wooden sign to Lin Xuan with a smile on his face.

Lin Xuan looked at the wooden sign in his hand. He could see that the wooden sign in his hand was made of high-quality wood.

"Sir, can the wooden sign representing the identity be forged?"

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and expressed his thoughts.

Fusu shook his head slightly when he heard Lin Xuan's words, "The teacher doesn't know something."

"There are only a few people in Daqin who can wear status badges. Everyone who gets a badge must go through strict scrutiny."

"If someone is carrying a forged sign representing their identity, they will be severely fined if they are caught."

"The reason why the eunuchs in the palace have such a brand is because these eunuchs usually serve the emperor father and the concubines in his harem."

"Wearing a sign can identify them. Once something happens, the soldiers in the palace can identify each eunuch."

"So the sign in the teacher's hand is not forged."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and confirmed that the sign was authentic.

"Since the brand cannot be forged, now there is evidence to prove that the man in the hat is the eunuch in the palace."

"But this is not enough. The assassin who was kicked unconscious just now must have woken up."

"If this person can say that Zhao Gao sent him, add this wooden sign and the servant as a witness."

"This will prevent Zhao Gao from having any chance to turn around."

Lin Xuan said with a smile on his face. He had always wanted to get rid of Zhao Gao.

It's just that there has never been a good opportunity. Although Zhao Gao is only the leader of the eunuchs in the palace.

However, Zhao Gao's identity is not comparable to that of ordinary ministers, and Ying Zheng trusts Zhao Gao very much.

Zhao Gao is still Hu Hai's teacher. If you want to overthrow Zhao Gao, you must have sufficient evidence, leaving Zhao Gao without any chance to defend himself.

Fusu also had a smile on his face when he heard Lin Xuan's words, and he was eager to get rid of Zhao Gao.

Getting rid of Zhao Gao not only got rid of a despicable villain, but also weakened Hu Hai's strength.

Without Zhao Gao's support, Hu Hai could not stand alone.

Fusu suddenly frowned and said, "The assassin sent by Zhao Gao must not be an ordinary assassin."

"The students are worried that this person will not reveal that Zhao Gao sent him."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his worries.
