On February 7, the third year of Qin II, Xianyang, on the Baqiao.

Xianyang Ling Yan Le was covered in armor, and he personally inspected the city gate with a solemn face, these days, the situation in Xianyang City is not calm, although the direct descendants of the first emperor in the capital have been killed by Hu Hai, but those clans that are a little farther away are still in the city, and they have long hated what Prime Minister Zhao Gao did.

Hu Hai, a stubborn child, how can he be the emperor of Great Qin? There are not a few clans with this idea, but because Zhao Gao has the power of the army, they can only swallow their anger.

Under Yan Le's subordinates, he has all the mobile forces in Xianyang City and the surrounding counties, and the guards who belong to the guards guarding the palace were also controlled by Yan Le not long ago, and Feng Xuan, the captain of the Qin State Praetorian Guard, who was originally in charge of the guards, was the son of Zuo Xiang Feng Quji, Feng Zuoxiang was poisoned by a cup of poisoned wine given by Hu Hai after last year's advice, and Feng Xuan was immediately ordered by Hu Hai to be imprisoned, and he was beheaded after the autumn.

As soon as Feng Xuan went, the guards became a plate of loose sand, and after mastering this liliang that defended the palace, Yan Le found that there were still people in the palace who had secret contacts with the outside.

The person in this palace cannot be Emperor Hu Hai, because, with Yan Le's understanding of Hu Hai, the second emperor, who only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, has little interest in power, all he needs is for Zhao Gao to meet all his requirements for fun. In addition to Hu Hai, who else is acting in secret, and the reason why these people want to avoid Zhao Gao and Yan Le must have some ulterior secrets.

Who exactly?

Yan Le was determined to thoroughly investigate and catch this mouse hiding in the shadows.

Baqiao, east end.

The crowd of people passing by was passing through the inspection, and Yan Le's gaze swept over a chubby businessman, his eyes tightened.

"Withhold that person!" Yan Le sneered, and pointed at the fat merchant Jia and said.

"No!"

The soldiers around him were all Yan Le's cronies, and when they heard Yan Le's order, they immediately rushed down.

"You, you can't arrest people for no reason, I have a passage talisman in the palace." Fat Jia was punched and kicked to the ground by a group of soldiers, and his mouth was still arguing.

"In the palace, there is indeed a situation." Yan Le's heart sank, this fat man he has been staring at for many days, a few days ago, the fat man had contacts with a close attendant around Hu Hai in the palace, although it was impossible to know what they contacted and what they said, but at least one thing was certain: Hu Hai's side, there were other shili people.

――。

On the same day, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Gao was lying on the couch with a tired face, and beside him, a delicate young lady knelt in front of him, gently tapping Zhao Gao's knee with her slender hand.

In the palace, Emperor Hu Hai became more and more difficult to deal with, which also made Zhao Gao feel more and more impatient, and Hu Hai, who only cared about enjoyment, had no sense of responsibility at all.

Zhao Gao has served the First Emperor for more than 20 years, and over the years, following such a moody and powerful emperor as the First Emperor, Zhao Gao has been quietly cautious, lest he be abandoned by the First Emperor one day, or replaced by someone else, and while consolidating his position, Zhao Gao also tried his best to kill Li Si, Meng Yi and others in front of him.

"Prime Minister, Xianyang ordered Yan Le to ask to see."

"Let Yan Ling in." Zhao Gao commanded lightly, and his body continued to lie still, Yan Le was not only Xianyang Ling, but also his son-in-law, with this relationship, Zhao Gao naturally did not need to pretend to be any appearance and demeanor in front of Yan Le.

"Prime Minister, the soldiers guarding the city arrested an important witness in Baqiao, according to this person's confession, the person who contacted him in the palace was a person named Han Tan." Yan Le entered the door, and after Zhao Gao signaled to clear the crowd, he reported closely.

"Han Tan, it's him." Zhao Gao's eyes flashed, Han Tan was a close servant who served the First Emperor, back then, Zhao Gao and Han Tan were also colleagues of the First Emperor, and later, Zhao Gao won the favor of the First Emperor, so he gradually left Han Tan behind, unexpectedly, after the First Emperor died, Han Tan was still unwilling to be lonely.

"Do you find out who else Han Tan is in contact with?" Zhao Gao asked.

"There is no definite evidence yet, however, Han Tan has always been in contact with those people in the royal family, and if you check it carefully, it won't take long to find the answer." Yan Le smiled confidently and replied. In this Xianyang City, all the big and small affairs are under his Yan Le's control, and the mansions of those people in the royal family, Yan Le has already sent people to watch them in turn, and I believe that it will not take long to find out who is conspiring with Han Tan.

"Well, it's all up to you, remember, don't make me hope." Zhao Gao nodded and commanded. The Zhao family and the Yan family are now in the same relationship, no need to say more, Yan Le will also check it seriously, and Zhao Gao has considerable confidence in Yan Le's ability.

"Please rest assured. There is another thing, on the side of Hangu Pass, there has been no post report back in the past few days, I don't know if anything will happen, and my subordinates plan to ask for a troop to come and investigate. Yan Le asked.

"You can handle these things yourself. In addition, Rong'er, you have to care more about her, don't snub her because of business. Zhao Gao nodded and commanded.

"Please rest assured, Rong Niang is in the house, at home." Yan Le bowed his head and replied, marrying a wife from a wealthy family is a long-term mental torture for a capable man like Yan Le, Zhao Rong has become more and more popular with her mother's shili these days, and her temperament and temper are getting bigger and bigger, which makes Yan Le feel very helpless.

Xianyang, Anle Fang.

Ziying paced back and forth in the palace uneasily, he was the younger brother of the first emperor, and he was also the closest man to the throne after Hu Hai killed all his brothers, and now, Ziying was in a state of anxiety.

"What are you talking about, Lu Sheng was arrested, how did you do this, didn't you let him go out of the city last night, why did it drag on until morning." Ziying sighed and said to a person in front of him who looked like a steward.

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, this Lu Sheng has always been in contact with Han Tan, and he doesn't know much about our affairs, as long as Han Tan can stand up to it, we won't be exposed." The steward was relieved.

"Although this is the case, Yan Le is not a good person, and Han Tan is probably not a good person." Ziying stomped her feet unwillingly and said.

He spent more than ten years on Han Tan, and spent countless amounts of money and money, when the first emperor was alive, he naturally would not have any strange thoughts, and when the prince Fusu was favored, he would not think much about it, but when Hu Hai killed all the brothers, Ziying began to be moved.

The extravagant winner Huhai will inevitably be defeated, and the country of Qin, to whom will it be handed over, among the clans, except for him to win the child, there is no one else.
