The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1127 Eleventh Marquis [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

Lord Chu Nan looked at the azure cavalrymen surrounding him and finally chose not to resist.

No one expected that there would be the mountain-moving strongmen who only existed in mythology. Moreover, the mountain-moving strongmen in mythology were coolies and corvée laborers, but now they appeared in the form of cavalry.

"Get it!" Yan Yan waved his hand.

"We have been deceived. The Emperor does not want to be enemies with our Maurya Dynasty, right?" The Tantric master did not resist, but simply stated the facts.

"Take him back first!" Yan Yan did not answer, but asked Luo Bing to take the man into custody.

There were thirty-six assassins in total and three hundred and seventy soldiers.

Judging from the assassination operations in Chinese history, the scale of this assassination can be said to be the largest assassination in history.

"Are all Chinese so wild?" Looking at the detained assassin, the Tantric master was also stunned.

Although he was one of the main members of the assassination, he was not aware of the entire process and was more of an executor rather than a planner.

This would have been considered a small-scale war in the Maurya Empire, but now he was told that it was just an assassination attempt.

One action, a lifetime of introversion.

Upon receiving the news, the Yulin Guards immediately sent 20,000 troops to support.

After all, no one can guarantee whether local officials of Bingzhou were involved in such a large-scale assassination, or whether the governor of Hetao of Bingzhou cannot be separated from the matter for such a large-scale assassination.

Therefore, the Beiye Royal City had to be on guard, and Dian Qing was ordered to personally lead 20,000 troops to guard it.

It was not until he saw the scale of the assassination and the composition of the assassins that Dian Qing was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

There are four grand masters, two tantric masters from the Maurya Dynasty, Lord Chu Nan, and the former head of the Five Elements Family.

There are seven grand masters.

There were no less than thirty or twenty-six masters, plus three hundred soldiers.

With this kind of combat power, even in the era when the seven kingdoms were competing for supremacy, it would be capable of attacking a king.

The Yulin Guards carefully escorted Yan Yan back to Beiye Royal City, and also escorted the assassins back to Beiye Royal City.

The news of the Hetao assassination spread throughout the world, and the world was shocked. No one expected that someone would actually dare to organize such a large-scale assassination, especially an assassination of a contemporary emperor.

"This……"

Ying Zheng was also a little panicked. If the assassination happened in Xianyang, could Qin's capabilities protect his safety?
Four great masters.

Even if Qin had any, they would not all be in Xianyang.

"Your Majesty, what you should consider now is not your own safety, but how to give an explanation to Bingzhou!" Xiong Qi said solemnly.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at all the civil and military officials of Qin with an imposing manner.

"Who of you is involved?"

All the civil and military officials in the Qin court looked at their colleagues. If the assassination was successful, they could stand up and take credit, but if it failed, it would be no small matter.

Even the Qin State could not protect them.

Some were calm, while others looked away.

How could the Qin State not know about such a large-scale mobilization of experts and have no one participate?

It’s just that more people knew about it, but deliberately did nothing and allowed these people to go to Bingzhou.

Otherwise, according to Qin's laws, one needs a pass to leave the country, so how could he not know the movements of these people?

"Now is not the time to pursue accountability. Most of these assassins come from within the Qin territory, and they are not ordinary people!" Xiong Qi spoke again, preventing Ying Zheng from pursuing accountability.

All the officials breathed a sigh of relief. If they were to hold them accountable now, Ying Zheng would definitely hand them over and calm the anger in Bingzhou.

Xiong Qi put the matter on hold for the time being, which also gave them time to remove the tail. If they can't get themselves out of this, then they should just die.

Ying Zheng's face was gloomy. He knew that in the fight between Qin and Bingzhou, one of the two tigers would be injured, but most of the time he never thought of using this method.

Bingzhou was not afraid of going to war with Qin because Bingzhou was barefoot.

The Qin State itself was the advantageous party in the conflict between the two countries and had no need to resort to such despicable means.

To put it another way, in the Qin-Qin annexation dispute, Qin had the dominance and initiative in the war.

"Who are they?" Ying Zheng asked after taking a deep breath.

The news from Bingzhou only said that most members of the assassin group came from the Central Plains of China and had a respected status, but the specific list of members has not yet been released.

"We need to wait until the Bingzhou Jinyiwei and the Military Control Commission interrogate us to find out!" Xiong Qi said.

They can only wait now, but they cannot do nothing while waiting.

"What does the Prime Minister mean?" Ying Zheng frowned.

"Send envoys to Beiye Royal City to interrogate the case together with Bingzhou, and announce to the world that this matter has nothing to do with our Great Qin!" Xiong Qi said seriously.

Yan Yan's reputation is not only in Bingzhou, but also in China.

Not to mention Tainan, who in the three northern kingdoms has not received his grace?
Therefore, if Qin fails to handle this matter properly, it will become a factor of instability for the countries that it has just conquered.

As Xiong Qi finished speaking, Ying Zheng and all the civil and military officials in the Qin court turned their eyes to Li Si.

It’s not that Li Si was the person behind this incident, but as the Chief Justice of Qin, Li Si was the most suitable envoy for this mission to cooperate with Bingzhou in interrogating these assassins.

With the right major and sufficient status, who else but me can do it?

The most important thing is that although Li Si is a Legalist, he comes from a Confucian family. Strictly speaking, he and Yan Yan are brothers in the same school, and it is also easier for them to communicate with Bingzhou.

During this period of time, if anyone else went to Bingzhou, it would be unlikely that they would be treated well.

"I request to be sent as an envoy to the Beiye Royal City in Bingzhou!" Li Si saw that he was popular and had no choice but to go ahead.

Instead of passively accepting it, it is better to take the initiative to volunteer, which will make the civil and military officials in the court and Ying Zheng feel that they owe him a favor.

"Bingzhou has not sent us an invitation, but we are taking the initiative to send people. Isn't it a bit like trying to cover up something?" Wang Jian spoke.

Everyone also realized that if Bingzhou had issued an invitation, then they would have the right to send people there, but if they took the initiative to go there, it would be suspected of using their power to pressure others and making things worse.

"Bingzhou will send an invitation!" Xiong Qi said confidently.

As long as Bingzhou does not want to go to war with Qin, it will definitely send an invitation.

This was indeed the case. After returning to Beiye Royal City, Yan Yan immediately summoned all civil and military officials for discussions.

The scale of this assassination was too large, and the social status of the people involved was too high.

Grandmasters are all granted titles of nobility, and grandmasters are sometimes rarely seen even in an entire era.

This time, there are as many as eleven such people.

Eleven marquises, even if you put them in the Western Zhou Dynasty where titles were free, they would be enough to cause turmoil in the court.

"Invite the Qin State. Most of the people involved in the case are from Qin. We still have to inform them to show fairness!" Han Fei was promoted to the Bingzhou Tingwei as he wished.

An Qisheng also agreed.

Most of the criminals were from the State of Qin. If Bingzhou wanted to investigate, it would also need the cooperation of the State of Qin.

"Then issue a document inviting the Qin State to send envoys to jointly review the case!" Yan Yan nodded.
