Qin Gong

"You go to CRRC and bring a trailer, and you prepare some tools."

In the courtyard, a eunuch in his 40s was explaining things to other eunuchs around him.

Suddenly hearing footsteps behind him, the eunuch turned his head, and then saw Ying Kan coming.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!!"

Seeing Ying Kan, no matter the leading eunuch, or the other eunuchs and maids around, all lowered their heads to salute, and looked at Ying Kan respectfully.

"How is this going?"

Ying Kan came to the eunuch, pointed to the white cloth shrouded body on the ground behind him, and asked impatiently.

Looking at these eunuchs and maids, Ying Kan felt a little restless.

This is about to leave Yewang City, how can there be a dead person at this juncture.

"Go back to your lord!"

The leading eunuch in his 30s watched Ying Kan walk past him, and before he could speak, he saw that Ying Kan had gently lifted the white cloth with his feet.

Under everyone's eyes, Ying Kan was originally impatient, but just now he kicked off the white cloth and saw the covered corpse.

When he saw the black and blue face under the white cloth, Ying Kan was startled for an instant, and he stumbled back two steps. If the servant behind him hadn't reached out to support him, he almost fell to the ground.

"she she she"

Ying Kan stretched out his hand and pointed at the corpse tremblingly. He couldn't believe that the horrible corpse under the white cloth just now was Mrs. Zheng!
What exactly is going on?

Why is Mrs. Zheng's body in this yard?

Mrs. Zheng was the most beloved beauty of the king during this time!
"what is the problem?"

After Ying Kan was frightened, his face was in a daze, and he quickly turned his head to look at the eunuch in his 40s.

Mrs. Zheng died suddenly, does the king know?

Ying Kan already had a premonition in his mind, how furious the king would be when he knew about this.

"Go back to your lord."

The eunuch looked at Ying Kan's appearance and arched his hands.

"It was the king who gave the order to give Mrs. Zheng a white silk."

The eunuch explained.

In a word, Ying Kan was dumbfounded, and his eyes were full of disbelief as he looked at the white cloth shrouded body a few steps away.

Did the king order Mrs. Zheng to be executed?

How could it be possible, Wang Shang clearly dotes on Mrs. Zheng very much, he and Mrs. Zheng were chatting, laughing and chatting a while ago, and they were quite close to Mrs. Zheng.

"What's going on? Why did the king give the order?"

After Ying Kan came back to his senses, with the support of his followers, he stood up and asked hurriedly.

Ying Kan is not stupid, and he knows very well in his heart that something terrible must have happened when the king ordered Mrs. Zheng to be executed.

"Back to the adults, I don't even know the lowly position!"

The eunuch smiled wryly when he heard Ying Kan's question. He only found out temporarily that the person who had seen the dead before was Mrs. Zheng, and he was so frightened that he sat limp on the ground.

Inside the courtyard.

Ying Kan saw that the eunuch didn't know what was going on, then glanced at Mrs. Zheng's body a few steps away, and turned around to find Ying Zheng.

Ying Kan is in charge of the palace guards on this trip, and Ying Kan doesn't even know about Mrs. Zheng's death. How can Ying Kan not panic.

After a while.

It was not easy for Ying Kan to walk and run to the courtyard where Ying Zheng lived.

The first thing I saw was Li Xin, Yang Duan and the two who were also in the yard, waiting for orders.

"Kings!"

Ying Kan glanced at Li Xin, Yang Duan and the two, then stepped forward in small steps and came behind Ying Zheng.

At this moment, Ying Kan's heart was full of uneasiness, and there was no need for other people to speak, Ying Kan realized that he might be a little dereliction of duty.

Right now, Ying Kan only hopes that Ying Zheng won't blame him.

"The widow is about to order someone to find you!"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Kan and didn't say much.

Ying Zheng didn't have much hope for this descendant of the Ying clan. He brought him mainly to see his seniority in the clan and appease Zong Bo and others behind him.

As the king of Qin, Ying Zheng knew that besides checking and balancing the forces in the court, the support of the clan was also extremely important.

"Your Majesty! These are General Bai's bamboo slips!"

At this time, an eunuch held bamboo slips in both hands and came to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng did not take the bamboo slips, but asked the eunuch to hand them over to Yang Duanhe and Li Xin.

Under Ying Kan's puzzled gaze.

After saluting to Ying Zheng, Yang Duan and the old general took the bamboo slips from the eunuch with both hands, and then looked at the contents with Li Xin.

However, in just two breaths, Yang Duan and the old general looked surprised, and Li Xin also looked shocked.

This made Ying Kan even more curious. Looking at the long scroll of bamboo slips, it seemed that Bai Yan ordered someone to send news again!

Thinking of Bai Yan.

There was some impatience on Ying Kan's face, now he really dislikes that Bai Yan.

"Your Majesty, these"

Yang Duan and the old general looked at the content in Jane, slowly raised their heads, and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.

Li Xin on the side was also shocked.

Because the bamboo slips in the hands of the two of them recorded the news that someone in Zhongmou City conspired and rebelled. Shou, all were found to be traitors to Qin.

And at the end of the bamboo slips, there are as many Qin officials and gentry involved as a cow's hair.

Is this still Zhongmou City that was sent to tell everyone that everything is safe?

thought here.

Whether it was Yang Duan, the old general, or Li Xin, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, otherwise, if the king really arrived at Zhongmou City, he might be in danger.

"So many rebels! The Zhu family, the Huan family, and the Dong Guo family"

Yang Duan and the old general held the bamboo slips, their eyes full of disbelief.

Especially for some of the gentry, Yang Duan and the old general are still very familiar, and whether it is the eldest son Yang Yan, or even the elder brother Yang Xian's family, they often have contacts with those gentry, and they are considered family friends.

Think back on these.

Looking at the bamboo slips in front of him, Old General Yang was lying if he said he was not surprised.

On that day, Bai Yan came to the mansion to look for him and expressed his worries. At that time, Old General Yang really guessed that the hometown of Zhao State would not be peaceful.

But never thought that there are so many gentry involved in this, and their influence is so wide that even the gentry who are familiar with the Yang family are involved in it.

After reading the bamboo slips.

Yang Duan and the old general raised their eyes slowly, and handed the bamboo slips to Ying Kan.

At this moment, what came to Yang Duan and the old general's mind was the face of the young boy who came to the mansion with the package that day to ask him for advice.

Bai Yan!

Old General Yang thought about this name in his heart, and couldn't believe how that young man found out these gentry in such a short period of time.

At this moment.

Ying Kan on the side took the bamboo slip from Old General Yang's hand, just now he got the bamboo slip, Ying Kan frowned slightly, and looked at the bamboo slip in his hand with a little bit of displeasure.

However, at the first glance, Ying Kan's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and then his eyes widened and he kept shaking his head.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Ying Kan held the bamboo slips and kept repeating this sentence.

After reading the contents of the bamboo slips, sweat had already appeared on Ying Kan's forehead, and he hurriedly looked up at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. I have already ordered secret agents to lurk along the way. If there are so many gentry rebelling, how can I not know!"

Ying Kan looked at Ying Zheng anxiously, and explained softly.

He said bluntly that the contents of the bamboo slips were definitely not true, otherwise how could he not know.

Obviously, he had sent spies to lurk on the way a long time ago.

"So you think that Bai Yan killed innocent people in vain and framed them!"

When Ying Zheng heard what Ying Kan said, he turned to look at Ying Kan.

Even Yang Duan, the old general, and Li Xin who were standing beside Ying Kan couldn't help turning their heads to look at Ying Kan.

There had been some discord between Ying Kan and Bai Yan before, and it had already spread, but the discord was not reconciled. Just now, Ying Kan charged Bai Yan with no evidence. The old general and Li Xin knew it well. Very taboo thing.

"Your Majesty! I dare not slander General Bai!"

Under Ying Zheng's watchful eyes, Ying Kan quickly arched his hands, and at this moment Ying Kan was also sweating on his back.

Ying Kan also knew that his own words were wrong just now, and that what Ying Zheng was most taboo about was slandering other officials without evidence.

"General Bai Yan was famous for his deadly battles in Shangjun Gaonu before, so he was named a general by the king. Such a person, I know very well that he is not a person who is greedy for credit."

Ying Kan cupped his hands and explained.

Even if he was at odds with Bai Yan, at this time Ying Kan had no choice but to praise Bai Yan's past deeds, and bluntly said that he also believed that Bai Yan, who was born in a deadly battle, would definitely not do something false to deceive the king .

Looking at Ying Zheng, Ying Kan was a little flustered, for fear that Ying Zheng would not believe it.

"Your Majesty, I absolutely did not slander General Bai Yan!"

Ying Kan said again.

inside the yard.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Kan, there was not much anger on his face, but a look of disappointment suddenly appeared in his eyes.

And these, flustered Ying Kan, did not notice.

Only Yang Duan, the old general and Li Xin saw the fleeting disappointment in Ying Zheng's eyes.

Yang Duan and the old general, who have lived for most of their lives and served for Qin State for most of their lives, now know better than Li Xin that if Ying Kan's ability is insufficient, it will not be so. After all, in this matter, those rebels really It was very thorough preparations, not only did not leak the news, but instead attracted so many Qin officials.

What really made Ying Zheng disappointed with Ying Kan was that Ying Kan was obviously suspicious, but he didn't even dare to say it.

You know, whether it is in the eyes of Yingzheng or outsiders, Ying Kan is a relative of the Ying family in Qin State, and holds an important position in Qin State. Doubts dare not speak out.

This kind of people.

It is often easier to be disappointed when the most critical time for success.

"Go get that roll of bamboo slips!"

Ying Zheng instructed an eunuch.

Soon.

After the eunuch came back with the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng asked the eunuch to hand over the bamboo slips to Ying Kan.

Ying Kan didn't understand what Ying Zheng meant, but he also bowed to Ying Zheng, and then took the bamboo slips carefully with both hands.

When he opened the bamboo slips and saw the contents, Ying Kan was astonished.

It contains a detailed list of all the gentry who participated in the rebellion, and the names of many of them are written in it in detail, similar to Wu Gao, Xu Zixiao and other names.

What really caught Ying Kan off guard was that even the names of some eunuchs, maids, and servants appeared in it, and one of them was an official who helped him manage the details.

When he saw the name of the adjutant he believed in was on it.

In a trance, it was like a ray of light cutting through the fog.

Ying Kan suddenly felt vaguely why he hadn't received any news before!

"Your Majesty, this is?"

Ying Kan looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.

"Who sent this?"

Ying Kan asked.

Now Ying Kan still has the last sliver of luck in his heart, maybe the list is wrong.

However, while speaking, Dang Yingkan once again looked at the bamboo slip in his hand.

When I saw Mrs. Zheng among the names behind, my mind was like thunder, and I froze in place.

At this time, Ying Kan remembered seeing Mrs. Zheng's body.

Ying Kan raised his head slowly and looked at Ying Zheng.

"Bai Yan!"

Ying Zheng said, and then he ignored Ying Kan. Whether the rebellion was true or not, he would naturally know when he arrived in Zhongmou City.

At that time, not to mention Ying Kan, even if he wins the government, he will also personally meet those gentry who want to kill him.

inside the yard.

Ying Zheng looked at Yang Duanhe and Li Xin.

"The widow ordered the two of you to rush back to Luoyang to arrest the Zheng family and go to Zhongmou City immediately."

Ying Zheng ordered.

"promise!"

"promise!!"

Yang Duanhe and Li Xin hurriedly compiled the ceremony.

Ying Zheng looked at the two of them, and then turned to look at the eunuch beside him, with a trace of anger in his eyes, but fortunately, it was fleeting and very subtle.

"The order of the widow is passed on. Chu Ren exposed the traitor, made meritorious escort, was promoted to Zhonggeng, and was transferred to Yinyi in the middle of Guizhou to garrison!"

Ying Zheng opened his mouth and ordered.

"promise!"

The eunuch hurriedly compiled the ceremony, then turned and left.

And hearing Ying Zheng's words, whether it was Ying Kan, Li Xin, or even Old General Yang, they couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng in surprise.

General Chu Ren?

Ying Kan and Old General Yang were the first to come to their senses. Due to their status, they immediately recalled that the Chu family and the Zheng family seemed to have been married!

That's it!

At this time, Ying Kan and Old General Yang finally understood why Bai Yan got the news of the traitor in such a short period of time, and it turned out to be General Chu Ren's credit.

Ying Kan finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Bai Yan didn't find out by himself.

After all, as long as Bai Yan didn't find out by himself, he wouldn't appear to be a useless trash.

Qi State Linzi.

"Why is father like this?"

In a small bamboo garden, a man in his 40s, dressed in Confucian clothing, was squatting in a corner with a resentful expression on his face.

On the other side is an old man with gray temples.

At this moment, the old man was holding a cane, trembling with anger from the middle-aged man.

"Ru, I'm so angry~!"

The old man is Bai Yan's grandfather.

However, compared to the past, my grandfather is not as calm as before. For example, in this small garden, although it is not very good, but because it was passed down from the ancestors, there are some small things everywhere in the garden.

At this moment, looking around at a glance, it was empty.

Even the clean and tidy clothes that my grandfather used to have have turned into messy coarse clothes.

Clothes are divided into grades, commoners are also good and bad, at least the commoner that grandfather is wearing at this time is the worst kind.

Under the disheveled white hair, the old face was blue with anger.

"You ah you!"

The grandfather looked at his uncle, his eldest son, wishing he could beat him to death.

In this village, all the face of the past few decades has been lost by this uncle!

Thinking back to this morning, facing the aggressive third son, the eldest son finally told the truth.

No wonder it has been almost a year since he came back, no matter how much he persuaded him, the eldest son did not return to Qin.

It turned out that he fled back from the state of Qin at the beginning, and it was not a return to his hometown with honor at all.

"I'm so angry~!"

The more the grandfather thought about it, the more he trembled with anger.

In order to allow the eldest son to go to Qin, the family exchanged all the land for money for the eldest son's needs. The whole family is counting on the eldest son to come back and take the family to Qin to enjoy the blessings.

"I was in Qin State in the past, and I was slandered by traitors. I can't blame me for that!"

The uncle looked at his father who was stopped by his mother, and explained cheekily.

Although I just said that I slipped the tongue and said that I was greedy for money, as long as I don't admit it or remember it, then it's fine!
And right now.

The important thing is not this matter, but how to get to Chu State.

"Father! Can't you trust me again? Just go and ask Brother Zhong for some money so that the boy can go to Chu. The boy swears that he has met his old friend in Jixia Academy. The old friend promises that as long as the boy goes to Chu, he will be the boy." Introduce the powerful! Use the talent of a child."

As the uncle spoke, he glanced at his father: "Father still doesn't believe that in the future, the whole family will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth."

some words.

The trembling grandfather couldn't say a word while pointing at his uncle.

Although he was angry, the uncle's words still resurfaced in his grandfather's mind. Indeed, the family is like this now, and if they can't find a way out, it will only get worse and worse.

And with the ability of the eldest son, if he can go to the state of Chu to meet the powerful, then the whole family will be able to follow the uncle, live in a mansion with rich clothes and fine food, and be served by others.

"Beloved, just trust Zihuai! Zhong'er has been honest and kind since he was a child, as long as he asks, Zhong'er will definitely give Zihuai some money to go to Chu."

The white-haired old woman also said to her grandfather.

For her eldest son, the grandmother also has trust in him, not to mention that the grandmother can't bear to watch the eldest son stay at home all his life, and his talents are not appreciated.

"That's right! If not, go ask, Yan'er has been in Yicheng for the past two years, but brought a lot of money back home!"

Yingshi was also not far away, helping to echo.

"Yes, yes, yes! Go ask! I want some more, and I want some for the family. My father went to ask by the way, to see if I can let Brother Zhong give some fields to honor Father. After all, there are only five people in Brother Zhong, and we only have A piece of land, but there are a dozen people! If you have money, you don’t care about the little money.”

Bai Yan's uncle Zitai's wife also said hurriedly in a soft voice.

The other three women also agreed one after another. Even the two young women who were holding a child in their arms looked at the old man.

two years.

The change is far more than just this small garden. In terms of food and clothing, everything has changed.

And even uncle Zitai knew at this time that all this was due to his father selling the field and all the money was given to his eldest brother Huai to go to Qin.

But it's too late to pursue anything now, so it's better to think about how to get Brother Zhong's money to improve the family's life. This time, no matter whether Zihuai goes to Chu State for life or death, let the family have money first.

"Still going!!!"

In the garden, the grandfather looked at the eyes of the family and threw his crutches to the ground in anger.

"The first two times I went, I already asked for it. If I go again now, I won't be able to lose face!"

Grandpa's old face was full of sadness.

At this moment.

Outside the small garden, suddenly a young man hurried in.

"Zi Lu, how about it, would Zhu Ziyan'er be willing to give some money?"

When the uncle saw his son Zilu coming back, he got up quickly and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Zitai, who was a few steps away, saw his elder brother's appearance, his eyes were full of meaning.

It seems that his elder brother is really thick-skinned, not only thinking about how to get money from the Yan family, but also making Zilu go all the way to Yicheng to find Yan'er.

"Father, the child has not been found!"

When Zilu saw his father, he knelt on the ground and said with a sad face.

At this moment, Zilu is no longer dressed in Confucian clothing, elegant and polite, not to mention that the coarse cloth on his body is full of mud, and even a little beard and soil stains on his face can be seen, he has experienced a lot.

"What? Didn't find it? Didn't it mean that he was under Ling Shi's family? How could he not be found?"

After hearing Zilu's words, the uncle asked with a puzzled expression.

Zitai and Yingshi, even grandfather and grandmother looked at each other, looking at Zilu.

"Father, my son asked those subordinates under Ling Shi's family, and they all said that there is no Yan Yan!"

Zilu shook his head.

Thinking of when he was in Yicheng, Zilu also wondered if he heard it wrong. Yan, who obviously often brought money to his family, was not under Lingshi's family.

"What's going on here? Where did that go?"

The uncle looked puzzled.

Zitai and his wife looked at each other and couldn't help frowning.

When everyone was silent, a woman holding a young child in her arms suddenly spoke.

"Didn't my father say that he met Yan in Xianyang?"

The woman said softly.

If Bai Yan was here, he might still remember that before he left, he met many villagers with women who wanted to betroth him to Zilu. At that time, among all the women who wanted to marry Zilu, there was This is a woman named Cen Qing.

But at that time, not to mention this Cen Qing, even everyone else didn't look at Yan with a straight eye.

now.

Cen Qing hugged the child and looked at the gazes of her grandfather, grandmother and others.

"Yes, it's similar, but that's not Yan!"

The uncle shook his head when he heard what his daughter-in-law said.

This matter has been confirmed a long time ago, if Na Yan'er was in Xianyang, how could he be able to ask someone to bring money to the Xiong family, there is no one in this world who would give his money to others.

Let alone two years, it has always been like this.

"Father, it doesn't matter whether it's right or not. The important thing is that Yan is not in Yicheng now. My father said yes, yes! And my father is not going to Chu this time."

When Cen Qing said this, she looked at Zilu's father, her own father, and said softly, "I'm going to Qin!"

In the bamboo garden.

At first, everyone frowned when they heard Cen Qing's words. They didn't understand why Cen Qing said that. After all, the uncle had already committed crimes in Qin State, and it was impossible for him to return to Qin State.

However soon.

Yingshi was the first to react, and then Zitai also understood what Cen Qing meant, and looked at Cen Qing in surprise.

"wonderful!"

Zitai said excitedly.

Zitai knew very well that the Naxiong clan would not let in oil and salt, but as long as Shuishou and Shuiyan were involved, the Naxiu clan would lose its sense of proportion.

And this time, if you want Mrs. Yan to pay for it, it's not the best place to start with Shui Yan.

"Hi~!"

The uncle also realized it at this time.

"That's right! When I say go to Qin, I don't necessarily mean to go to Qin. Brother Zhong and Mrs. Yan don't know that I committed a crime in Qin! They will definitely not doubt it. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful!"

The uncle said with a smile on his face, then turned his head and looked at his daughter-in-law, the approval in his eyes was undisguised.

At this moment, Zilu realized what his father said, and looked at his wife, a little stunned.

"Good man!"

When Cen Qing saw Zilu's eyes, her face was full of shyness, as if she could think of this attention, and she was also very lucky.

Explain it, otherwise Bai Yan will appear very sudden when he meets his uncle in the future.

During the day, my wife is getting divorced, and I am rushing to draft with a knife. I don’t know if I can make up for it in time.
