A moment later.

When the servant brought Zhang Huang and Zhang Shuo's father and son into the mansion, Bai Yan suddenly looked surprised.

Bai Yan was also a little glad in his heart at this time, glad that when he was not in the mansion before, let Xi and the Tyrant clan leave the mansion as soon as possible.

"Meet the General!"

"Meet the General!

”

Zhang Huang and Zhang Shuo, father and son, looked at Bai Yan and bowed their hands.

For Bai Yan's unexpected appearance, Zhang Huang and his son didn't feel strange, after all, recalling that when the Zhang family was framed in Xinzheng, Bai Yan, who escorted Yao Jia, was also in Xinzheng, and Bai Yan naturally knew about the news of the Zhang family.

Therefore, seeing their father and son now, thinking of the incident of killing Xinzheng in the past, it will be unexpected, and it is normal.

"Let's go down!"

Bai Yan looked at Zhang Huang and his son, and did not rush back the salute, but asked the servant to leave first, and then looked at Bai Ming on the side.

"Ming, you go and rest first!"

Bai Yan said.

Seeing Bai Yan's serious appearance, Bai Ming nodded hurriedly, put down the bamboo slip very sensibly, and then got up to leave.

Looking at the middle-aged man and his son, Bai Ming was a little curious, what did these two people come from.

Although curious, Bai Ming didn't ask, but left the room obediently and closed the door.

Inside the spacious study.

In an instant, there were only two fathers and sons, Bai Yan and Zhang Huang.

"Bai Yan, I've seen the two!"

Only then did Bai Yan raise his hand to Zhang Huang and his son to salute in return, and after the salute, he motioned for the two to sit down.

Zhang Huang and his son hurriedly raised their hands again to express their gratitude to Bai Yan, and then came to the wooden table and knelt with Bai Ming.

"I wonder what happened to the two of you? Come and ...... tonight."

Bai Yan knelt at the wooden table, and then looked at Zhang Huang and his son quietly.

remembered that Xi said before that when Zhang Huang and his son came to Xianyang, they went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Changpingjun, so it is likely that his address was told by Changpingjun to these two.

Regarding Changping Jun's behavior, Bai Yan can understand.

After all, at present, Changping Jun has not yet known that the matter has been exposed, and in Changping Jun's eyes, he is still friendly with the Bai family on the surface.

But.

This also means that this Zhang father and son are not Changping Jun's henchmen!

"I took the liberty to come here tonight, and I hope the general is not strange!"

When Zhang Huang heard Bai Yan's words, he smiled and said, with a hint of apology in his tone, hoping that Bai Yan would bear with him.

Zhang Shuo, who was young on the side, also followed Jili.

Speaking of which, after seeing Bai Yan with his own eyes, Zhang said that his heart was really complicated, after all, at the beginning of the Zhang Mansion in Xinzheng, the reason why he and his father were polite to Bai Yan was completely because of Yao Jia's face.

I didn't think about it.

The young man who followed Yao Jia at the beginning, the person he and his father didn't care about at all, actually became the general of the Qin State, and was previously reused by the political commissar of Qin Wangying, as the deputy general of the Qin army, leading the army to destroy Zhao and destroy a country.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan heard Zhang Huang's words and raised his hand to salute.

Seeing this, Zhang Huang thought about it.

"Don't hide it from the general, Zhang Huang came here today just because Zhang Liang was framed in the past!"

Zhang Huang said, directly explaining the intention.

As a person who has come over, Zhang Huang knows that the relationship between their father and son is only a one-sided relationship with Bai Yan, and this midnight three watches, Bai Yan has just returned from Pingyang, he is worried that if he does not explain his intentions, he will be expelled by Bai Yan.

"Framed?"

Bai Yan frowned when he heard Zhang Huang's words, repeating a sentence, as if he was a little skeptical of the truth of this 'frame'

In Bai Yan's heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, at least Zhang Huang's father and son would appear here, which proved that the Zhang family still hadn't investigated any clues, let alone thought that he had killed Han Ling.

In other words, Yao Jia did not reveal the affairs of the Tyrant Clan.

At least Changping-kun doesn't know!

"That's right, the general, Zhang Liang, the nephew of Zhang Huang, was indeed framed by thieves in Xinzheng in the past!"

Zhang Huang sighed.

Then Zhang Huang told Bai Yan clearly the ins and outs of the original incident in front of Bai Yan, the original intention was to tell Bai Yan everything, so that Bai Yan could believe it.

"I see!"

Under the candlelight, Bai Yan listened quietly, and said a sentence after listening.

Then Bai Yan looked at Zhang Huang with a puzzled expression.

This seems to be asking, what does this matter have to do with him Bai Yan, and why are you looking for him now.

"General!"

When Zhang Huang saw Bai Yan's appearance, he naturally knew what Bai Yan was thinking, so he arched his hand again.

"Did the general ever know that the person who framed the Zhang family was using the Qin State to attack South Korea, and when Yao Jia and the general came to Xinzheng, they threw everything on the general, Yao Jia, and even the Qin State!"

After Zhang Huang finished speaking, he paused, and continued: "Han Ling is the clan of the Han Dynasty, and he is a Korean general, and his connections are very extensive in Korea, if General Han Ling is defeated, no one will complain, but General Han Ling should not die in the mansion!" Killed by thieves! ”

That's all that is said and done.

Zhang Huang shook his head and sighed.

"In this way, the Koreans will blame the thieves for the destruction of the country! In my heart, I disobey the Qin State! Now, the general still remembers that when Yang Duan and the general were in Korea, they were attacked by many thieves! ”

Zhang Huang raised his hand and said to Bai Yan.

As Zhang Huang said earlier, Han Ling's killing was not only to frame Zhang, but also to throw dirty water on Yao Jia and Bai Yan.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan listened quietly to Zhang Huang's lobbying, and after seeing Zhang Huang's words, Bai Yan naturally wouldn't pretend to be stupid.

"So on this trip, the two of you want Bai Yan to order someone to investigate this matter thoroughly?"

Bai Yan said softly.

When Zhang Huang heard Bai Yan's words, he nodded, and sighed that talking to smart people was easy.

"General think about it, now that the Qin State accepts the Korean land and establishes Yingchuan, there are countless people who are dissatisfied and resentful in the hearts of the people of Yingchuan, so there will be frequent turmoil, if the general can investigate the truth of the matter and give the people a justice, then there will naturally be no more turmoil in Yingchuan County in the future, and the general can also share the worries of the King of Qin and contribute to the Qin State!"

Zhang Huang said.

Looking at the young Bai Yan, Zhang Huang knew that it was definitely not easy for this young man to become a general, so he continued to add.

In addition, Zhang Huang swears here that if the general can clear the grievances for the Zhang family, the Zhang family will restore its reputation in the future, and with the connections in front of his father and brother, the Zhang family will definitely be able to become a general in the future! Not only can you maintain Yingchuan for the general, but you can also inquire about the news of the Zhao Dishi clan for the general! Serve the General! ”

After Zhang Huang finished saying the words of persuasion, he looked at Bai Yan.

Before coming, Zhang Huang seriously thought about how to persuade Bai Yan, although Zhang Huang didn't think that he could be comparable to Zhang Zi (Zhang Yi), one mouth could tire six countries and strengthen one country, but he followed his father since he was a child, which helped his brother.

In the case of familiarity, it is still possible to lobby Bai Yan.

Taking advantage of the previous turmoil in Yingchuan, Yingzheng's reluctant appointment, and his meritorious actions, coupled with his promise to Zhang Huang, the temptation of the Zhang family to be the first to look forward after regaining power.

What's more, in the previous incident of Yanmen, Bai Yan offended countless scholars.

Under all circumstances.

Zhang Huang dared to guarantee with his life, under these premises, not to mention Bai Yan, that is, anyone, even if Changping Jun or the nobles of Chu State stood in Bai Yan's position, they would agree to help the Zhang family investigate.

Feel the silence in the study.

Zhang Huang didn't speak in a hurry, Zhang Shuo was also on the side, looking at Bai Yan, who was young and contemplative.

"Okay, I'll order someone to investigate this!"

Bai Yan was not surprised in the end, and nodded slowly under the gaze of Zhang Huang's father and son.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Huang and Zhang Shuo glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, their father and son had already figured out that now the relationship between Bai Yan and the Yang family is very good, and the Bai family and the Feng family are married.

Whether it is Bai Yan, who is a general of Qin, or Bai, Yang, and Feng.

As long as this huge power is willing to use his connections and connections to help the Zhang family investigate, then others must be useful, after all, the people who are now in charge of Yingchuan County are all Qin officials.

"Thank you, General Bai!"

"Thank you, General! In the future, as long as the general is in need, he can order someone to go to the Qu clan of Chu State, and the Zhang clan will never give up! ”

Zhang Shuo and Zhang Huang were full of gratitude and bowed to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan also raised his hand very politely.

"You don't have to be polite, this matter involves the Qin State, Bai Yan's move is for my king to share his worries, and Bai Yan doesn't want to be framed! If there is a need in the future, the two of them can let Zhang's cooperation! ”

Bai Yan explained.

Zhang Huang hurriedly gave up his hand to ensure that it must be certain.

Next, Bai Yan asked Zhang Huang about something, and Zhang Huang's father and son naturally would not hide Bai Yan, whether it was the progress of their Zhang family's investigation now, as well as the analysis of their father and son and clan, they all said.

"Killed?"

When Bai Yan heard this, his brows tightened.

Zhang Huang nodded, and the young Zhang Shuo on the side was also full of gloom between his eyebrows.

The person who participated in the framing at the beginning, the most important thing was to cut You, who also went to Zhang's family to ask his cousin Zhang Sheng to go out, and then he also went to Zhang's Mansion to inform his cousin Zhang Liang that Zhang Sheng was arrested.

If it hadn't been cut, the brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Sheng would definitely not have been tricked.

"That's right! My nephews Zhang Sheng and Zhang Liang have been using their few connections to investigate the matter in Yingchuan, because although they are killed, they ...... No dead body! ”

】

Zhang Huang said with doubts in his eyes.

Hearing this, Bai Yan nodded.

Bai Yan naturally knew what Zhang Huang meant, that is, if he wanted to investigate, he might be able to start with the Chopping Clan.

Because the Zhang family suspects that the chopping is the same as the violent clan, it is a fake death!

In this regard, Bai Yan did not refuse.

"Then Bai Yan will let people investigate from the Chopping Clan!"

Bai Yan said.

Where is Qiu You now, Bai Yan actually knows better than the father and son in front of him.

As for the words of Fang Cai's Zhang father and son, maybe ordinary people really believe it, but Bai Yan knew very well from the beginning that the turmoil in Yingchuan was not caused by Han Ling at all, as Zhang Huang and his son said.

Even if the Zhang family regains its innocence, as long as the old Korean clan still exists, then Yingchuan will continue to be in turmoil!

Therefore, the theory of meritorious service is even more delusional!

From the standpoint of the officials of the Qin State, this is just an illusory temptation.

As for the Zhang family working for him and helping the Qin State, this Bai Yan didn't believe it even more.

Others don't know that the situation will be used by the Zhang family, but Bai Yan will definitely not.

Later generations proved that the Zhang family, who was the fifth prime minister, would only think about revenge in the future, thinking about the abdominal wall of Korea, and restoring the honor of the Zhang family in the past.

Therefore, what oath and what will help him maintain the stability of Yingchuan are just boasts, such as Zhang Yi lied to the king of Chu and said that the Qin State sent 600 li, and even if it really helped the Qin State stabilize for a while, it was just that the Zhang family was preserving strength, seeking an opportunity, and accumulating strength to restore the country.

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan looked at Zhang Huang in front of him, recalling that it was the first time he saw Zhang Huang, and he was really deceived by his appearance and attitude.

Now looking back, how could Zhang Huang, who was in the fifth Xianghan, not have the scheming of the city government.

How could Zhang Huang not be good at these lobbying (fraud) methods.

Outside the study.

The night was deep, the cold wind was howling, the trees in the yard were only dry branches, and the occasional withered yellow leaves were also drifting away from the branches under the cold wind, and disappeared into the branches in the bright moon, blending into the dark night.

In the courtyard not far away, two servants walked by from time to time, walking around the mansion, and the room next to it faintly revealed light.

I don't know how long later, as the door opened, a father and son left the room under the escort of the teenager.

After the trio of the ceremony.

The father and son turned and followed the servant of the mansion away.

The young man waited for a while before returning to the study, and then knelt down in front of the candlelight window in the night, and continued to look at the bamboo slips.

.........

Next.

With dawn, Bai Yan walked out of the room.

Feeling the breath of the early morning, Bai Yan moved his arm, and when he saw that Bai Ming had already practiced swords in the courtyard, he couldn't help but show a smile.

Bai Ming, that kid is diligent!

"General, breakfast is ready!"

The maid came over and said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded, glanced at the maid, in the past, the stream came to call him, but this time when he returned to Xianyang, the Tyrant clan was no longer in the mansion, and he was always a little unaccustomed to it.

Speaking of which, Bai Yan didn't care about loneliness in the past, and after leaving the Qi Kingdom, he was always used to being alone.

This is true no matter where you go.

However, after encountering the Tyrant Clan, after experiencing the Tyrant Clan at home and experiencing the affairs at home, the Tyrant Clan arranged everything and was extremely proper.

Now in the mansion, the sudden departure of the Tyrant clan was really uncomfortable for a while, just like the tea was cold last night, without his instructions, the maid was worried about disturbing him, and she didn't dare to take the initiative to come to the study to add hot tea to him.

Whenever he drank tea, he could clearly feel that the cup of tea on the table was always cold.

When I drank it, my body didn't feel warm at all.
