I heard that the guests in my family hall could not go to the building. Every time I spoke, I said that there were good things and bad things. The follower told his master: "He Yong is a bosom friend, who steals right and wrong." The father-in-law called the envoys to build a building in front of him. One of them was called good and gave wine. But when Gao Jianli's fear is infinite, he retreats and comes out of his box to build his good clothes. All the guests were surprised, and they all went down to resist the ceremony. They thought that if they were guests, they would sing, and all the guests would go away with tears.

Gao Jianli changed his name to work as a bartender and hid himself in Song Zi. After a long time, he felt very tired. When he heard that there were guests in the master's hall, he was reluctant to leave. Often open mouth said: "the tone of that building has good place, also have bad place." The waiter told the master Gao Jianli's words and said, "that servant knows music and speaks right and wrong in private." The host called Gao Jianli to the front of the hall. All the guests said he was good at it and gave him wine. Considering that Gao Jianli had been anonymous for a long time and had been hiding in fear for no end, he retired from the hall, took out his buildings and clothes from the luggage box, and refitted them for plastic surgery. When he came to the front of the hall, all the guests were surprised. He left his seat and received him with equal courtesy. He was honored as the guest of honor. When he was asked to sing, the guests were moved to leave with tears.

The first emperor of Qin pitied him for being good at building, especially pardoning his death. So smoked blind his eyes, let him hit build, not once not say good. Gao gradually came closer to Qin Shihuang. Gao Jianli then put the lead into the building, and then went into the palace to hit the building. When it was close, the building struck the first emperor of Qin, but it didn't hit him. So Qin Shihuang killed Gao Jianli, and he was no longer close to the people of the former six Oriental countries.
