Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 226 Willing to be punished
Above the city of Xianyang, ink clouds gather.

Everyone's minds are somewhat heavy.

These days, Ying Yuan has resisted a lot of pressure, and the doubts from all walks of life have never stopped.

But he didn't think about backing down.

However, he continued to investigate, and he was also very worried that if he could not find any problems, he would offend more and more people.

If they join forces to attack themselves or Ying Zheng, no matter how you look at it, it will be a loss-making business.

There was endless discussion among the crowd, and in the end, it was Mi Qi who came forward to stop the commotion, "You all be quiet, the truth is known, you are all masters of the rivers and lakes, you may not understand the rules of officialdom, the truth is here, and the truth is here. It's inconvenient to say more."

After a pause, he looked at Ying Yuan, and said solemnly: "Master Hou, have you ever thought about what kind of conflicts will erupt once you trespass into Changshi's mansion?
Although Chang Shili and the Yinyang family are inextricably linked, if Lord Hou has no evidence to prove that the Yinyang family and Xuan Jian have conspiracies, then he cannot forcibly break into Li Si's mansion. "

What he said, Ying Yuan knew very well in his heart, once he took this step, if he didn't find anything, he might stumble.

If they found anything, they could use this opportunity to completely bring down Li Si.

At least it made him unable to stand up in Qin for several years.

It's just too risky to do so.

"Lord Hou."

At this moment, Tian Zhen appeared, and she slowly came to Ying Yuan, and said affectionately: "Do you really think that the long history of the dynasty will really cover up criminals? Or criminals who have committed heinous crimes."

She came here today to advise him.

When they climbed the city wall, they heard the voices of everyone talking.

Her words just reminded Ying Yuan, making him realize suddenly.

"You are right. Li Si is a long history. It is impossible to hide Xuan Jian at the risk. As for where he is hiding, it is really confusing. In the past few days, people have been dispatched one after another. There are as many as 3 to [-] people, but he still hasn't been found."

Ying Yuan's brows were tightly furrowed, obviously troubled by this incident.

"I think the most urgent task now is to withdraw the army and pretend that Xuan Jian has left Xianyang City. Only in this way can he come out on his own initiative. If the search continues, there will be no results.

After all, I heard that Xuan Jian's ability to disguise is very good. If he wants to change his face, or change into any of the eight Linglong's souls, it will be difficult for us to detect. "

Tian Zhen can be said to have worked hard for Ying Yuan. It is not easy for a woman to think through the complexity of the matter day and night, and then quickly come up with a countermeasure.

It is also enough to show how much she cares about Ying Yuan.

"Your Majesty, I think what Madam said is very true. Just think about it, Xuan Jian would not dare to stand out when the army is overwhelming, and Mr. Li Si is a long history, it is even more impossible to cover up Xuan Jian. flow of prisoners.

If it was done by the Yin Yang family, at this moment, you can't make a sudden move, otherwise you will be bluffing, Lord Hou, I hope you think twice. "

It has to be said that Mi Qi said these words without any selfish considerations at all.

If he wanted to see Ying Yuan and Li Si break up completely, he could encourage Ying Yuan to investigate Chang Shi's residence.

But he didn't do it because he thought of a key thing.

The king not only needs courtiers who are loyal to him, but also courtiers who are loyal to Daqin and help the family and the country.

"Well then, according to Xiangbang's wishes, the army will be withdrawn."

Ying Yuan thought over and over again, and finally made this decision.

To be honest, he was still a little reconciled.

If he found Xuan Jian because of this, he could use the power of the army to sweep away the Yin Yang family.

A mysterious room in the city.

Donghuang Taiyi and Xuan Jian stood facing each other.

The former said lightly: "I just got the news that Ying Yuan has withdrawn all the troops because he couldn't bear the pressure. Next, the watchmen should be silent for a while, but even so, there are not many chances for you to make a move." gone."

"To kill one is one."

There was a faint murderous look in the latter's eyes.

Donghuang Taiyi slightly praised: "Even if it won't affect the overall power of the batterer, he must continue to cause trouble for him. Ying Yuan's life needs some disturbances."

Inside Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng looked cold.

Ying Yuan looked serious.

Li Si was relatively calm.

There were several people outside, but no one said anything.

They all felt that the atmosphere in the hall at the moment was a bit subtle and full of depression.

After a while, Yingzheng said in a cold tone: "This is the answer you gave me. In a few days, huge manpower and material resources were mobilized, and even all the markets in the city had stopped, but you told the widow that even Xuan Jian's Haven't seen any shadows?"

He wanted to take this opportunity to beat Ying Yuan.

And the latter has already made sufficient psychological preparations.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Xuan Jian is confusing, but I will always pay attention to his movements. As long as he dares to surface, I will definitely bring him to justice!"

Ying Yuan made his promise.

But Yingzheng didn't appreciate it, "You are the champion of Daqin, Da Sima! The military and political power of the whole country is firmly in your hands. Now you want to give up your position as Da Sima for a Xuan Jian? !"

His words are very meaningful.

Generally speaking, it should be that he wanted to remove Ying Yuan from the position of Chief Sima, but he would still retain his position as General. After all, he only said 'give up Chief Sima'.

"If Xuan Jian cannot be caught, I am willing to be punished!"

Ying Yuan bowed solemnly.

He has no way out.

It would be better to follow Ying Zheng's wishes.

And he obviously didn't expect Ying Yuan to be so decisive.

After a pause, he said, "Okay! Champion, do you know the truth that a gentleman's words are hard to follow? All the ministers in this court have heard what you just said!"

"Since my brother has spoken, there is absolutely no possibility of taking it back."

In fact, Ying Yuan didn't care about the position of the big Sima at all.

Regardless of whether there is that position or not, the entire military is still looking forward to him, Wang Jian and the Meng family.

"I don't know if Champion Hou has a time agreement? After all, if there is no time limit, what you said just now is not counted?"

Li Si said a kind reminder.

Ying Yuan was amused, he laughed and said, "I don't know how many days Mr. Chang Shi will limit me to arrest Xuan Jian or bring him to justice on the spot?"

"It depends on what the king wants. We can't be the masters, Lord Hou."

Li Siyu said earnestly.

Ying Zheng waved his hands impatiently, and said, "Okay, stop arguing! The matter of Xuan Jian has already shaken the government and the public, and I don't want it to be safe in this Zhangtai palace!

Champion Hou, the widow has restricted you to execute Xuan Jian on the spot within half a month, is it possible for you to do it? "

To be honest, half a month is very short.

But the matter has come to this point, Ying Yuan can only accept his fate, "Your brother obeys, and within half a month, Xuan Jian's head will definitely be brought to the king!"

Being able to push him to this level was not entirely due to Li Si and Mi Qi, but mainly due to Ying Zheng's attitude.

However, Ying Yuan had already thought of the worst outcome.
