After receiving the edict, Wei Yu did not stay for a while, and rushed back to Xianyang on the same day. If he flies 100,000 urgently, the emperor will not summon him back.

Chen Sheng was worried that the teacher would have a bumpy road and no one to take care of him, so he asked Tian Peng to follow the teacher all the way to take care of the teacher's food, clothing, housing and transportation. The plan to sell salt had to be put to a halt for the time being.

And Chen Sheng was not idle, and was taken by Gu Haoran to Xiang County, the seat of Surabaya County.

Sang-gun is the administrative center of Surabaya County, and the county guard is located here. However, at this time, the supreme governor of Surabaya County was no longer the county guard, but the eldest son Fusu and Xianyang Ling Mengyi, who came from Xianyang.

The eldest son's status is noble, so there is naturally no need to say much. And Xianyang Ling Mengyi's identity is also extremely prominent, he is the emperor's confidant and adviser, and his favor is incomparable. and his brother Meng Tian, who was called the imperial double.

The nearest county guard is much more heavily guarded. Moreover, many officers and soldiers have fresh faces, and the clothes on their bodies do not look very different from those of ordinary officers and soldiers.

In a small hall of the mansion, a man who looked to be only thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a plain face, was looking at a map carefully, his fingers gesturing on the map from time to time. And next to him, a young man, with a solemn face, frowned slightly as the man's finger was directed. These two people are naturally Xianyang Ling Mengyi and the eldest son Fusu.

Outside the small hall, there is a post in five steps and a post in ten steps.

"Judging from the information we have, a large part of the grain that was purchased was once transferred to Surabaya County, and then there was no trace." Fusu was silent for a while, and said: "The Ling family lives in Ba County, while the Wu family is located in the northwest and has never been active in the Central Plains, and recently, the Ling family and the Wu family have been active in various parts of the Central Plains. I still hope that my father will take a surprise attack on these two families to thoroughly investigate the role played by the Ling family in this matter. Fusu's voice was a little awe-inspiring.

Looking at Fusu's eyes, Meng Yi sighed and said, "The emperor wants to do the same." However, the Ling family already had a foundation in Bashu hundreds of years ago, when my Great Qin General Sima mistakenly annexed Bashu, the Ling family provided a lot of convenience for the army, and made great contributions; In the past hundred years, it has supported the great cause of our empire, not to mention anything else, just in the past ten years of war in the empire, the Ling family has provided a lot of financial help, and the Ling family must be cautious in investigating and dealing with it, otherwise I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the heroes of the empire! Speaking of this, Meng Yi said again: "And the Wu family is located in Longxi, and they have always been friendly with the Rong people in the west, and the Wu family also pays tribute to a large number of cattle, sheep and horses for my Great Qin every year. The emperor is also very concerned about his merits, and he cannot arbitrarily act against them because of a little information, we must come up with sufficient evidence. ”

Fusu nodded. As the eldest son of the empire, he naturally understood the significance of these two big merchants to the empire. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Fusu would not have said such cruel words.

"That Chen Sheng is not simple." Fusu changed the topic and said, "I can surmise so many things with some disorganized information. ”

"Master Wei Yu's apprentice, can you go so easily?" Meng Yi smiled and said, "The emperor is also quite interested in him, but the tree is very popular, and the prince should be careful." ”

Fusu's heart sank. Naturally, I understood the meaning of Meng Yi's words.

The emperor has not yet made a prince. Fusu, the eldest son, is naturally a figure that all forces follow or attack. Fusu also knew that in addition to being older, he didn't have much advantage among the sons. So in the government and the opposition, he had to be cautious and cautious. Although he is not very old, Fusu, who has been in the whirlpool of power for a long time, is also aware of the opportunities and dangers around him.

Meng Yi reminded himself that Chen Sheng was an object that could be wooed, but he couldn't get too close to him. A person like Chen Sheng is remembered by his superiors at a young age, which is not necessarily a good thing. Maybe he will be a brilliant officialdom star of tomorrow's empire, or he may be swallowed up by the darkness behind the bright star in the process of stepping into this power field.

Keeping a proper distance and not being unfamiliar with it is the right choice. There is no need to show your attitude towards him until the moment when you need it most.

This is Meng Yi's advice. It was also Meng Yi who vaguely pointed out his position and that of his family.

Fusu smiled at Meng Yi and bowed his hand slightly to express his gratitude.

Meng Yi also generously accepted Fusu's courtesy. He and the emperor are like brothers, and they have always been treated as Fusu as a nephew.

"Childe, my lord, Pengcheng County Ling Gu Haoran and others have arrived, asking to see Childe and Lord outside." Yang Duanhe, the scarlet of Surabaya County, shouted loudly outside the door. Yang Duanhe was originally a famous general of the empire, he was over sixty years old, but he was full of energy and looked as fierce as ever, if it weren't for this incident, he would not have been transferred here to be the county guard.

"Old General Yang, please bring them in." Meng Yi responded. Treating Yang Duanhe, Meng Yi and Fusu did not dare to slack off. This person once followed Meng Yi's grandfather and father to fight on the battlefield, and his military exploits were outstanding, and he had a good reputation in front of the emperor.

"No, we're going out to pick them up." Fusu smiled faintly at Meng Yi.

Chen Sheng is also looking forward to Fusu and Meng Yi. He has seen the image of these two people in many TV movies. However, in the records of the history books, the fate of the two does not seem to be very good.

"Meet your lord and childe." Gu Haoran and Chen Sheng, who were sitting in the hall drinking tea, saw the county guard respectfully leading the two out, and they knew the identities of the two, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite." Fusu smiled indifferently, like a spring breeze, and nodded slightly at Gu Haoran, Fusu's eyes focused on Chen Sheng's body, looking at Chen Sheng carefully. First, Wei Yu's book, and then because of Gu Haoran's book, the emperor completely remembered Chen Sheng's appearance. As the eldest son, Fusu naturally followed the pace of his father and paid great attention to Chen Sheng. The emperor has always liked to promote rookies, and it seems that Chen Sheng will come later

Chen Sheng also secretly looked at Fusu, the eldest son of the legendary Qin Shi Huangdi. Fusu is not very old, he looks only one or two years older than him, his figure is slender, his face is quite delicate, and he looks a lot different from what he imagined.

And Meng Yi's appearance is even more ordinary. The facial features generally belong to the public face, the kind that can't be found in the crowd, but the figure is very tall, more than 1.8 meters, which can be regarded as making up for the lack of appearance. However, Meng Yi's face showed a faint majesty, if he didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find such a point, which would confuse him with ordinary people, which may be exactly what Meng Yi wanted.
