Qin Gong

Chapter 413 Ying Zheng's Inquiry

Xianyang, Qin State.

In the Xianyang Palace, Yingzheng, who has already fallen into court, is dealing with important affairs in the palace. The bamboo slips of two stones every day need to be reviewed by Yingzheng himself.

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng looked at the scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, his brows suddenly frowned, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

This scene caused the eunuchs standing nearby to look at each other, not knowing what happened.

"Call the Han Yezhe to come in!"

After reading the bamboo slips for a few breaths, Ying Zheng said softly.

"promise!"

An eunuch hurriedly bowed to Ying Zheng, then turned around and slowly pushed out of the study.

After a while.

The figure of Han Yezhe appeared in front of Yingzheng, and came to compose the ceremony in front of Yingzheng.

"Meet the king!"

After compiling the ceremony, Han Ye raised his head full of doubts. In the past, when Ying Zheng reviewed the bamboo slips, he seldom gave instructions, and every time there was something, it must have attracted Ying Zheng's attention.

Therefore, Han Yezhe doesn't know if something happened again, and he needs to send someone out to investigate.

"During this period of time, in Xianyang City, did many people mention Bai Qi!"

Ying Zheng knelt behind the wooden table, looked at the remaining bamboo slips, and asked.

Seeing this, the Korean caller quickly responded with his hands clasped.

"Go back to the king, but there is such a thing!"

After Han Yezhe finished speaking, he looked at Yingzheng and knew the gossip and rumors in Xianyang City during this period. An official had already written a letter to Yingzheng, but he didn't know whether that person reported it or what.

"A few days ago, I don't know who was making noise in the city, saying that there were rumors."

When Han Yezhe said this, his voice paused, and he glanced at Ying Zheng vaguely, and finally bit the bullet and continued.

"It is said that General Bai once said something after drinking, and he will definitely not be like his ancestor Bai Qi!"

When Han Yezhe said this, his heart couldn't help shrinking. A simple sentence made him, who had served Yingzheng in the palace for more than ten years, sweat on his back.

Without him, this sentence is too harsh, really sinister.

What do you mean by not being as good as his ancestor Bai Qi? Does it mean that you don't want to disobey orders like Bai Qi, or that you don't want to kill yourself like Bai Qi! !

Whenever he thinks of this, Han Yezhe can feel that the person who said this behind his back is really vicious, his methods are too terrifying, and he has an extremely thorough understanding of people's hearts. , more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Often there is no other meaning expressed, but people can't help but think about the end of the game!

at the moment.

Han Yezhe looked at Ying Zheng secretly, and didn't know what Ying Zheng would think when he heard this sentence. The only thing that was certain was that Ying Zheng would also remember Bai Qi's suicide by Du You.

"But there are other rumors?"

To Han Yezhe's surprise, Ying Zheng didn't have the expected expression when he heard what he said just now, and he didn't even raise his head. He just asked lightly if there were any other rumors.

This scene, on the contrary, confused Han Yezhe.

its not right!
Even if Bai Yan risked his life to stand in front of Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng is a king after all, it is impossible to mention that when the Bai clan rose up in vain, he would have no reaction to that sentence, no matter how broad-minded he is, he must have a reaction is.

strange!
Han Yezhe, who couldn't figure it out, endured all kinds of doubts in his heart, and once again saluted Ying Zheng.

"Back to the king, there are indeed many rumors that are not good for General Bai!"

After Han Yezhe finished his ceremony, he talked to Ying Zheng about this period of time, besides the matter of going out in vain, more about Bai Yan's announcement in Luoyin that merchants and common people in the world would cross the river for free in Luoyin, During the conversation, countless people said that when Bai Yan was stupid, he acted recklessly for fame. Even many officials in the court were waiting to see Bai Yan's jokes.

"Is there anyone who disagrees? Someone who is independent?"

While Ying Zheng was speaking, he asked again.

Seeing this, Han Yezhe thought for a while, pondered for a while, and then looked at Ying Zheng.

"Looking at the entire court and even Xianyang City, so far, there has been no dissenting words!"

Han Yezhe cupped his hands and said.

And Ying Zheng, who never looked at Han Yezhe from the beginning to the end, heard this, quietly put down the bamboo slips, and when he looked up at Han Yezhe, his eyes seemed not surprised, but also seemed a little disappointed, and then became relieved.

"Go back!"

Ying Zheng didn't say anything more.

Seeing Yingzheng's appearance, Han Yezhe didn't know what Yingzheng was thinking. After the ceremony, he was ready to step down.

"Bai Yan should have returned to Xianyang today?"

Ying Zheng suddenly thought of something, and asked Han Yezhe suddenly.

Hearing this, Han Yezhe stopped quickly and saluted Ying Zheng.

"Back to the king, if there are no accidents, General Bai should have arrived in Xianyang City right now! Will the king summon General Bai?"

After Han Yezhe finished speaking, he also looked at Ying Zheng with some apprehension.

Speaking of it, Han Yezhe is one of the few people in the palace who is inclined to Bai Yan in his heart, although Han Yezhe doesn't know whether Bai Yan has said that sentence, whether it is really nonsense after drinking, even Han Yezhe also felt that it was very unwise to pay for the ship for the merchants of the world.

But because of Yang Duanhe, Han Yezhe is still on Bai Yan's side.

"No need! Just go back to Xianyang!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he continued to look at the bamboo slips.

The former Han Ye could still understand, but the latter sentence made the Han Ye of a certain age feel confused.

Looking at Ying Zheng, Han Yezhe could only guess that no matter how much Ying Zheng favored Bai Yan, he was still influenced by that sentence in the end, that's why he said this.

thought here.

Han Yezhe couldn't help feeling a little worried about Bai Yan.

But for this matter right now, Han Yezhe can't help Bai Yan. Those who plan to spread this sentence behind their backs are too cruel. Many people, those who have always been dissatisfied with Bai Yan now see the opportunity, so they all contribute to the flames behind the scenes, making more and more people discuss this matter.

Xianyang City.

At the city gate, accompanied by an endless stream of merchants and pedestrians, they entered and exited the city gate under the search of Qin officials, and a number of carriages came slowly not far away. In the middle and behind are mostly Qi flags.

Seeing this, whether it was the Qin officials guarding the city gate or those merchants and passers-by, they all looked sideways and instantly knew who was coming.

After all, along with the Luoyin edict, the envoys of Qi State in Luoyin were gradually spread to Xianyang by merchants.

"Then Bai Yan still dares to come to Xianyang? Didn't he see how many merchants are crossing the Luoyin River?"

"That's not true! It is estimated that he will come to Xianyang for this trip, and he will rush back in less than three or five days!"

"What's the use of rushing back? The news of the edict has already spread. Brother Su, you cross the river first. You don't know that in the next few days, almost every day, the number of merchants and pedestrians going to Luoyin is more than twice that! I think that No matter how much Baiyan's mansion has, it won't last long! It's only a day or two at most!"

Under the city gate, many merchants from other countries whispered and pointed at the approaching carriage.

Because of their status, although these merchants were taboo about Bai Yan's status, they dared to talk about it in private.

Seeing this, the Qin officials at the city gate urged the merchants to enter the city as soon as possible.

After a while.

Accompanying the entry into the city, if there were still Qin officials controlling the city gate at the beginning, then as the carriage drove into the streets of the city, the raging gossip was directly introduced into the carriage.

All kinds of discussions and ridicules kept coming, even though there were carriages and cavalry soldiers, Bai Yan could still hear them clearly when he was sitting in the carriage.

Inside the carriage.

At this moment, those discussions were extremely harsh to Uncle Bai, but looking at Bai Yan beside him, Uncle Bai was full of helplessness.

In Uncle Bai's eyes, Bai Yan is still able to support the expenses now relying on the king's reward and the previous food town, but just like those rumors said, how long can Bai Yan sustain the expenses like flowing water.

However, Bai Yan was young, so he kept talking about him, alas~!

Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue were also sitting in the carriage. Unlike Bai Ping, Bai Ping was left in Luoyin to manage the shop that Bai Yan bought for the Bai family, and the two daughters returned to Xianyang with Uncle Bai.

Looking at Bai Yan.

Right now, neither Bai Junzhu nor Bai Yingxue of the Bai clan understands why Bai Yan is indifferent to the expenses like flowing water, and even listening to the rumors and gossip outside the carriage at this moment, the young man doesn't seem to hear it at all.

Fortunately, he has already returned to Xianyang, so it is better for uncle and Bai Yan to talk about it.

After a while.

The carriage slowly stopped.

"You wait in the carriage for a while!"

Bai Yan instructed Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue, and then got off the carriage with Uncle Bai.

Outside the carriage, Bai Yan looked at the residence of the Qi State envoy in front of him, turned his head to watch Tian Ding and others get off the carriage one after another, and then stepped forward.

"Master Tian, ​​Bai Yan will send Master Tian here today, and if there is a chance in the future, Bai Yan will visit again!"

Bai Yan came to Tian Ding, saluted Tian Ding, and glanced at Tian Feiyan beside Tian Ding from the corner of his eye.

Tian Feiyan naturally noticed Bai Yan's eyes, and leaned his head slightly, a little concerned about his father's presence.

Tian Feiyan, who is wearing the costume of Qi State, is weaker than her beauty at the moment.

"There is General Lao Bai on this trip, and Tian Ding is waiting at the mansion!"

Naturally, Tian Ding was also keenly aware of Bai Yan's fleeting eyes. As for Tian Feiyan's father, Tian Ding, as Tian Feiyan's father, could catch the boy's instinctive little movements, no matter how subtle.

Fortunately, after experiencing the previous events, Tian Ding didn't mind as much as before.

Beside the carriage.

Uncle Bai also saluted Tian Ding, and Tian Ding returned the salute.

Bai Yan saluted Xunzhou, Lin Anshun, and Houyao, and bid farewell to the three of them. After the three returned the salutes respectively, Bai Yan turned around and walked back to the carriage with Uncle Bai.
