Chapter 130 Xunzi: How about Qin Chi?

The atmosphere in Tingwei's mansion was solemn.

Xiao He respectfully reported the accounts and land clearing status, while Qin Chi sat in front of the case with blazing eyes.

"Xiao He, are you sure these accounts are correct?" Qin Chi asked suddenly, with a trace of unquestionable majesty in his voice.

Xiao He took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "Sir, there are indeed some problems with these accounts. The numbers in some places do not match up. I suspect someone has tampered with them."

Qin Chi's eyes were sharp: "As expected, do you know who is behind this?"

Xiao He hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said, "It is unknown, but this matter is important. I guess it may be that some clan forces may be controlled in secret."

"The clan power..." Qin Chi frowned.

Xiao He smiled bitterly: "My lord, you also know the influence of the clan in the court. Although a group of people have been killed by your Majesty, their power is still there! Perhaps they did not hesitate to tamper with the accounts to protect their own interests. Confusing information.”

Qin Chi was silent for a moment and said slowly: "This matter is not a trivial matter and must be investigated thoroughly. You can continue the investigation and report to me as soon as there is any progress."

The land under the clan's name is definitely more than this!

"Yes, my lord."

Xiao He bowed to promise, but secretly relieved.

At this time, someone from the mansion came to report that Li Si wanted to see him.

Qin Chi nodded slightly and motioned for Li Si to enter the house.

He was also quite curious about Li Si's sudden visit.

Li Si hurriedly walked into the mansion, and when he saw Qin Chi, he rushed towards him as if he had seen a life-saving straw: "Qin Tingwei, help! My master respects him... He is really here for that matter!"

There was deep fear and helplessness in his voice.

Qin Chi frowned slightly. Looking at the rude Li Si in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder: "Li Xiang, tell me slowly, what is going on?"

He tried to calm down Li Si and talk things through.

However, Li Si seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, holding Qin Chi's arm tightly: "Sir, you must save me! I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have done those things! But it's too late to regret now, teacher He will definitely not forgive me! "

His tone was full of regret and despair, as if he had foreseen his tragic ending.

Qin Chi sighed helplessly. He knew that this was the master-disciple grudge between Li Si and Xunzi, and he should not get involved.

"Li Xiang, please calm down first."

Qin Chi gently patted Li Si's shoulder and motioned for him to let go.

"To be honest, this is a grudge between your master and apprentice, and I can't directly intervene."

Hearing this, Li Si's heart was completely sinking, and he felt that he was afraid that he would escape!

However, Qin Chi's next words gave him a glimmer of hope.

"But... you can go and admit your mistake to Xunzi and be more sincere. Maybe he will forgive you."

Qin Chi gave a suggestion. Although he knew it might not be useful, it was at least a way to try.

"After all, Xunzi is also a reasonable person. He may change his mind when he sees your sincerity."

Li Si's heart seemed to be locked by heavy iron chains, sinking into the cold and deep seabed.

His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes had lost their former vigor and confidence, leaving only endless fear and helplessness.

The trembling hands were clasped together tightly, as if trying to find some strength from this despair.

Li Si's thoughts were in turmoil. He could not imagine what consequences he would face if he lost Xunzi's support and recognition.

He didn't dare to face that cruel reality, because it meant that all his efforts and efforts would be in vain.

He was filled with regret and self-blame!

He regretted that he had not followed Xunzi's teachings. He was afraid that he would be doomed this time.

Li Si returned to his mansion with a heavy heart and uneasiness. His steps were slow and heavy, as if every step required all his strength.

He remembered Qin Chi's suggestion to admit his mistake to Xunzi and be sincere.

However, he did not dare to take that step.

Li Si wanted to admit his mistake to Xunzi, but the fear in his heart stopped him.

Just as he was hesitating and lingering in front of the palace gate, the servant's announcement suddenly sounded:

"Prime Minister Li, Master Xun is here!"

This sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue to Li Si's ears. He instantly felt his heart tightening and his breathing almost stopped.

He hurriedly organized a robe, with a kind of respect that was almost trembling, and walked out of the house to welcome.

Seeing Xunzi's familiar figure, Li Si's heart had a complex emotion.

Awe, guilt, fear...

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound more stable: "Teacher, why are you here? Please come into the house and talk to me."

Xunzi nodded slightly, looked at Li Si's body for a while, and then slowly walked into the mansion.

He went straight to the main seat and sat down,

Li Si, on the other hand, stood aside with his hands down, his words and deeds revealing deep anxiety and uneasiness.

He dared not look directly into Xunzi's eyes for fear of seeing disappointment and anger.

Xunzi couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at Li Si's appearance.

He knew that this former student had now embarked on a different path, but the teacher-student friendship in his heart still made him feel sad.

He coughed lightly and said, "Li Si, do you know you were wrong?"

Li Si trembled all over and quickly lowered his head: "Disciple realizes his mistake."

His voice was filled with regret and remorse.

However, Xunzi did not continue this topic, but changed the subject:

"Actually, that's not what I came here for."

His words made Li Si instantly relieved, but at the same time he became more puzzled.

He didn't know what the real purpose of Xunzi's trip was, but his intuition told him that this incident was probably closely related to the recent changes in Xianyang.

Xunzi looked at Li Si's puzzled expression and asked directly, "How is Qin Chi?"

Li Si was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Xunzi would suddenly ask about Qin Chi.

But he didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately told everything he knew about Qin Chi's situation and deeds.

Li Si described in detail how Qin Chi rose to prominence in the court with his amazing talent and wisdom...

How did he win the awe and praise of everyone with his unique style of acting...

"Qin Chi is a man of quick thinking and extraordinary resourcefulness."

Li Si spoke slowly, as if recalling every detail of working with Qin Chi.

"Whether it is complex government affairs or difficult problems, he can always quickly find the crux of the problem and propose practical solutions."

Xunzi nodded slightly and motioned for Li Si to continue.

He was full of curiosity and expectations for this time traveler who was praised by everyone.

"And his style of doing things is even more amazing."
