"You came here to kill me, didn't you?" Lü Buwei sneered, "What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

Su Xuan shook his head and said seriously, "Everyone will die one day, and some people just need a little help."

"Master Xiangbang, I am the best at helping others."

"Tell me, how are you going to thank me?"

Lu Buwei was stunned, and he seemed to have not expected Su Xuan to be such a shameless person.

"Master Xiangguo, you said you want to give me all your money? How can I do that? What? You want me to accept it? Then I have no choice but to refuse."

Lu Buwei's face was full of question marks.

Su Xuan looked at Lu Buwei with a smile, "I didn't expect that the Prime Minister would be so generous. Don't worry, I will definitely let you go in a dignified way."

"Zhao Gao, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you give the Prime Minister a ride?" Su Xuan ordered without even turning his head.

A hint of gloom flashed across Zhao Gao's eyes, but soon they were replaced with a smile. "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your help. I am very grateful."

After saying that, he turned his gaze towards Lu Buwei, holding the poisoned wine and walked towards him, "Master Xiangbang, please."

The several people who were guarding Lu Buwei were all wounded and had already made up their minds to die.

"Are you still prepared to resist, Prime Minister?" Su Xuan advised, "Even if you resist, it will only increase innocent casualties."

"If you, Lord Xiangguo, voluntarily go to die, I can let them go and let them collect your body."

Lu Buwei looked at the loyal retainers in front of him, sighed, and took the initiative to step forward and offer the poisoned wine.

"Sir, if we fight them, we will definitely be able to find a way out!"

"Sir, we will never live in vain!"

"Sir, please don't do this. You have been so kind to us, how can we just watch you die?"

......

Everyone wanted to persuade him again, but Lu Buwei raised his hand to stop them.

"I have made up my mind. No need to persuade me."

He looked at the wine glass, an old face was reflected in the wine, and he suddenly laughed.

From a mere merchant, he became a powerful prime minister, enjoying all the splendor and glory. Having lived to this point in his life, and now at the age of old age, what regrets could there be?

"Su Xuan, I know that you are the same as me and will never be inferior to others." He looked at Su Xuan with a complicated look, "With your help, the Qin State will surely reach an unprecedented peak."

"But do you know what the fate of powerful officials is in the end?"

"When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away; when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. In the past, Wu Anjun was so powerful, but when he became a threat to the throne, even if he was loyal, he could not escape the fate of being sentenced to death."

He laughed loudly, looking up to the sky. "This old man has seen your end. When you are at your peak, that will be the moment of your death!"

"I will leave first today. I am in the underground, waiting for you to follow in my footsteps."

After saying this, he drank the poisoned wine in one gulp, and a moment later, he fell to the ground and died.

When the retainers saw Lu Buwei falling to the ground, they all knelt down beside him, weeping and sobbing. Some were so loyal that they even drew their swords and committed suicide.

Su Xuan watched this scene without changing his expression. It was normal for a prime minister with all the power in the world to have dozens or even hundreds of loyal fans.

As for what Lu Buwei said, they had no effect on him at all. As a person of later generations, how could he not know the truth that one's achievements surpass those of his master?

He had already made arrangements for this matter. He deliberately revealed his lustful side. Wasn't that a manifestation of his imperfection?

Moreover, Ying Zheng was not King Zhaoxiang of Qin. In history, he had never killed any meritorious official.

Of course, he would not put all his hopes on trusting Ying Zheng. How could he put his life in the hands of others?

He has already made some arrangements and started to lay out his plans. As for the decline after the peak of prosperity? He is not afraid of it, but rather looks forward to that day. He wants to see who will want to deal with him by then.

Enemies in the open are not scary; enemies in the dark are the ones we should be wary of.

"Let's deal with them together." Su Xuan glanced at the guests and then gave orders to the Luowang killers.

"Didn't you say you would let us go and let us help the Prime Minister collect the body?" One of the retainers shouted angrily, accusing Su Xuan of being untrustworthy.

Su Xuan responded coldly, "I did let you go, but they didn't say they would let you go."

He looked at the retainer with an idiotic look. With such a deep hatred, how could he let the tiger go back to the mountain and raise it to cause trouble? It is right to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

Even if several retainers put up a desperate resistance, how could they escape from the siege of dozens of assassins? They were all killed.

Su Xuan waved his hand and asked several first-class killers to search for anyone who was missed, while the six sword slaves stayed by his side to protect his safety.

Duan Shui, who was killed by Su Xuan, was replaced by another first-class killer.

After finishing everything, Su Xuan turned around and walked in front of Zhao Gao. He chuckled and said something meaningful, "The Minister of the Imperial Chariot Office is indeed a man of hidden talents."

He looked at Zhao Gao with a smile. Zhao Gao, who was being stared at, felt inexplicably frightened. He knelt down with a fearful attitude and said, "Master Xiangguo, you are really embarrassing me. I have no other thoughts, but I am willing to do my best to help the king complete the task."

"The Minister of the Imperial Chariots is indeed loyal." Su Xuan glanced at him condescendingly and changed the subject, "But it doesn't matter if you have other intentions. I am just worried that there are not enough people to help me establish my authority."

"Master Xiangguo, I only have power because of Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, I am nothing." He wore his official hat, almost buried his head in the ground, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Xianyang City. "I am loyal to Your Majesty and will never dare to have second thoughts."

Su Xuan smiled without saying anything. In front of the First Emperor, if you have any second thoughts, aren't you seeking death?

But after Ying Zheng, this is not necessarily the case.

He glanced at Zhao Gao and had no intention of eliminating him for the time being. As he said, enemies in the dark are far more terrifying than enemies in the light.

Zhao Gao can just be used as an observation point, and it is not a bad idea to use him to find out those who want to deal with him.

"Stand up." After Zhao Gao knelt for a long while, he finally spoke, "You have completed the king's mission well."

"By the way, before you leave, remember to clean up this place. Lü Buwei is the prime minister of Qin after all, so give him some dignity."

Zhao Gao nodded in agreement, being extremely respectful and not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

With rich experience in treasure hunting, Su Xuan quickly found Lu Buwei's property. There were mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, worth millions of gold, which made Su Xuan amazed.

And this may only be a part of Lu Buwei's assets. His real assets are his land deeds, commodities, and the Lu's Chamber of Commerce he runs. But it doesn't matter. He also has a chamber of commerce that can erode his assets to the greatest extent.

With a wave of his hand, the money in the warehouse disappeared instantly.

Then he took the Luowang assassins and walked in front of Zhao Gao openly.

As his witness, Zhao Gao clearly saw that he did not take a penny.

As for where Lu Buwei's money went, what does it have to do with Su Xuan?
