Chapter 349: Win Kan's bewilderment, angry grandfather
"You go to CRRC and bring a trailer over, you go and prepare some tools......"
In the courtyard, a eunuch in his forties was explaining things to the other eunuchs around him.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him, and the eunuch turned his head, and then saw Ying Kan coming.
"Your Excellency!"
"My lord!
”
Seeing Ying Kan, no matter the eunuch who was the leader, or the other eunuchs and maids around, they all bowed their heads and saluted, looking at Ying Kan respectfully.
"What's going on?"
Ying Kan came to the eunuch, pointed to the white cloth shroud on the ground behind him, and asked impatiently.
Looking at these eunuchs and maids, Ying Kan felt a little irritable in his heart.
This is about to leave Yewang City, how can there be a dead person at this juncture.
"Back to my lord!"
The eunuch in his thirties watched Ying Kan walk past him, and before he could speak, he saw that Ying Kan had gently lifted the white cloth with his foot.
Under everyone's gaze, Ying Kan, who was originally impatient, kicked off the white cloth and saw the covered corpse.
When he saw the white cloth clearly, the dark green face, Ying Kan was instantly startled, and the whole person stumbled back two steps, if it weren't for the servants behind him reaching out to hold it, he almost fell to the ground.
"She, She, She....."
Ying Kan stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpse tremblingly, he couldn't believe that the miserable corpse under the white cloth just now was actually ...... Mrs. Zheng!
What the hell is going on?
Why is Mrs. Zheng's body in this courtyard?
Mrs. Zheng is the king's favorite beauty during this time!
"What the hell is going on?"
After Ying Kan was frightened, his face was blank, and he quickly turned his head to look at the eunuch who was in his forties.
Mrs. Zheng died violently, can the king know?
Ying Kan already had a premonition in his mind how angry the king would be when he knew about this.
"Back to my lord."
The eunuch looked at Ying Kan's appearance and arched his hand.
"It was the king's order to give Mrs. Zheng Bai Aya."
The eunuch explained.
One sentence made Ying Kan dumbfounded, and his eyes were full of disbelief as he looked at the white cloth shroud a few steps away.
Did the king order Mrs. Zheng be executed?
How is it possible, Wang Shang obviously dotes on Mrs. Zheng very much, and he and Mrs. Zheng were still chatting and chatting some time ago, and they were quite close to Mrs. Zheng.
"What's going on? Why did the king give the order? ”
After Ying Kan came back to his senses, with the support of his entourage, he stood up and hurriedly asked.
Ying Kan is not stupid, and he knows very well in his heart that when the king ordered Mrs. Zheng to be executed, something terrible must have happened.
"Back to my lord, I don't know if I am humble!"
When the eunuch heard Ying Kan's inquiry, he smiled bitterly, he only knew it temporarily, and when he saw that the dead person was Mrs. Zheng before, he was also so frightened that he sat on the ground.
Inside the courtyard.
Ying Kan looked at the eunuch and didn't know what was going on, and then glanced at Mrs. Zheng's body a few steps away, and hurriedly turned around to find Ying Zheng.
The palace guards on this trip are fully responsible for Ying Kan, and Ying Kan didn't know about Mrs. Zheng's death, how did Ying Kan not panic.
A moment later.
Waiting for Yingkan to finally come to the courtyard where Yingzheng lived.
The first thing I saw was Li Xin, Yang Duan, and the two who were also in the courtyard, waiting for orders.
"Your Majesty!"
Ying Kan glanced at Li Xin, Yang Duanhe, and the two, and then stepped forward and came behind Ying Zheng.
At this moment, Ying Kan's heart was full of anxiety, and he no longer needed others to speak, and Ying Kan realized that he was likely to be a little derelict in his duties.
At the moment, Ying Kan only hopes that Ying Zheng will not blame him.
"The widow is trying to order someone to come to you!"
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Kan and didn't say anything.
For the children of this Ying clan, Ying Zheng did not report much sustenance, and brought him mainly to look at his seniority in the clan, as well as to appease the Zongbo and others behind him.
As the king of the Qin State, Ying Zheng knew that in addition to checking and balancing the forces in the court, the support of the clan was also extremely important.
"Your Majesty! This is General Bai's bamboo slip! ”
A eunuch held a bamboo slip in both hands at this time and came to Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng did not take the bamboo slips, but asked the eunuchs to hand over the bamboo slips to Yang Duanhe and Li Xin.
Under Ying Kan's puzzled gaze.
After Yang Duan and the old general saluted Ying Zheng, they took the bamboo slips from the eunuch's hands with both hands, and then looked at the contents with Li Xin.
However, after only two breaths, he saw Yang Duan and the old general with a surprised face, and Li Xin's expression was also shocked.
This made Ying Kan more and more curious, looking at the long bamboo slips, it seemed that Bai Yan had ordered someone to send the news again!
Thinking of Bai Yan.
Ying Kan's face was a little impatient, and now he was sincerely displeased with Bai Yan.
"Your Majesty, these ......"
Yang Duan and the old general looked at the contents of Jane, slowly raised their heads, and looked at Yingzheng in disbelief.
Li Xin on the side was also shocked.
Because in the bamboo slips in the hands of the two of them, there is a record of the news that there are people in Zhongmu City who are plotting against the rebellion, among which there are no less than 20 warriors who have been killed and arrested, and no less than 1,000 rebels have been killed, and even the officials and city guards in Zhongmu City have been found to have rebelled against Qin.
At the back of the bamboo slips, there are even more officials and scholars of the Qin State who are involved.
Is this still Zhongmu City, which was sent to inform that everything is okay?
Come to think of it.
Whether it was Yang Duan, the old general, or Li Xin, they couldn't help but feel a cold sweat, fortunately, otherwise, if the king really arrived in Zhongmu City, it would probably be in danger.
"So many thieves! Lord's, Huan's, Dongguo's......"
Yang Duan and the old general were holding bamboo slips, their eyes full of disbelief.
Especially for several of them, Yang Duan is still very familiar with the old general, and whether it is the eldest son Yang Yan, or even the elder brother Yang Xian's family, they often have contacts with those scholars, which can be regarded as world friends.
Recall these.
Looking at the bamboo slips in front of him, General Yang said that it was not a lie.
On that day, Bai Yan came to the mansion to find him and expressed his worries, and at that time, General Yang did guess that Zhao Guo's hometown would not be peaceful.
But he never thought that there were so many scholars involved in this, and their influence was so wide, that even the scholars who were familiar with the Yang family were involved in it.
After reading the bamboo slips.
Yang Duan and the old general slowly raised their eyes and handed the bamboo slip to Ying Kan.
At this time, what came to Yang Duan and the old general's minds was the young young face who came to the mansion with the package that day to ask for advice.
Bai Yan!
Old General Yang recited this name in his heart, and he couldn't believe how that young man could find out these scholars in such a short period of time.
At this time.
Ying Kan on the side took the bamboo slip in the hand of General Yang, and just got the bamboo slip, Ying Kan frowned slightly, with a hint of dislike, and looked at the bamboo slip in his hand.
However, after the first glance, Ying Kanwei's frowning brows slowly stretched out, followed by his eyes widening and shaking his head constantly.
"No way! It's impossible! ”
Ying Kan held the bamboo slip and kept repeating this sentence.
After reading the contents of the bamboo slip, sweat had already appeared on Ying Kan's forehead, and he hurriedly looked up at Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, Wechen has already been ordered to lurk along the way, if there are so many scholars rebelling, how can Wechen not know!"
Ying Kan looked at Ying Zheng anxiously and explained softly.
bluntly said that the content in this bamboo slip was definitely not true, otherwise how could he not know.
He had sent spies to lurk along the way a long time ago.
"So you think that Bai Yan killed innocent people in vain and framed him!"
Ying Zheng heard Ying Kan's words and turned his head to look at Ying Kan.
Even Yang Duan and the old general, as well as Li Xin, who were standing beside Ying Kan, couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Ying Kan.
Previously, there were some discords between Ying Kan and Bai Yan, which had already spread, but the discord was not harmonious, and only then did Ying Kan detain Bai Yan with a crime without evidence, and the old general and Li Xin both knew that this was a very taboo thing.
"Your Majesty! Weichen didn't dare to slander General Bai! ”
Under Ying Zheng's gaze, Ying Kan hurriedly arched his hand, and at this moment, Ying Kan also had a cold sweat on his back.
Ying Kan also knew that Fang Cai's own words were wrong, and he also knew that the most taboo thing for Ying Zheng was to slander other officials without evidence.
"General Bai Yan was a high-ranking slave in Shangjun before, and he was famous for fighting to the death, so he was named a general by the king, such a person, Weichen knows that he must not be a person who is greedy for merit."
Ying Kan explained.
Even if he was at odds with Bai Yan, at this time, Ying Kan had to praise Bai Yan's deeds, and bluntly said that he also believed that Bai Yan, who was born in a death war, would definitely not do anything to deceive the king.
Looking at Ying Zheng, Ying Kan was a little flustered, for fear that Ying Zheng would not believe it.
"Your Majesty, Weichen definitely didn't slander General Bai Yan!"
Ying Kan said again.
Inside the yard.
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Kan, the expression on his face was not too angry, but a touch of disappointment suddenly appeared in his eyes.
And these, the flustered Yingkan, did not notice.
Only Yang Duan, the old general and Li Xin saw the fleeting disappointment in Ying Zheng's eyes.
Yang Duan and the old general, who had lived for most of his life and served the Qin State for most of his life, knew better than Li Xin at this time that if the ability to win Kan was insufficient, it would not be so, after all, in this matter, those anti-thieves were indeed very well prepared, not only did not leak the news, but instead attracted so many Qin officials to the past.
What really disappointed Ying Zheng in Ying Kan was that Ying Kan was obviously suspicious, but he didn't even dare to say it.
You must know that whether it is in the eyes of Ying Zheng or in the eyes of outsiders, Ying Kan is the Ying clan of the Qin State, and he holds an important position in the Qin State.
Such people.
Often when things are most critical, the more likely it is to disappoint.
"Go get that bamboo slip!"
Ying Zheng instructed a eunuch.
It didn't take long.
After the eunuch came back with the bamboo slips, Yingzheng asked the eunuch to hand over the bamboo slips to Ying Kan.
Ying Kan didn't understand what Ying Zheng meant, but he also saluted Ying Zheng, and then carefully took the bamboo slip with both hands.
When he opened the bamboo slip and saw the contents, Ying Kan was stunned.
It contains a detailed list of all the scholars who participated in the rebellion, and the names of many of them are written in detail, similar to Wu Gao, Xu Zixiao and other names.
And what really caught Ying Kan off guard was that even the names of some eunuchs, maids, and waiters appeared in it, and one of them was the official who helped him manage the fine work.
When I saw the name of the adjutant I was convinced of on it.
Suddenly, it was like a ray of light cutting through the fog.
Ying Kan suddenly vaguely felt why he hadn't received any news before!
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Ying Kan looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.
"Who sent this?"
Ying Kan asked.
Now there is still one last trace of luck in Yingkan's heart, maybe the list in this list is wrong.
However, as he spoke, Ying Kan looked at the bamboo slip in his hand again.
When I saw that there were three words in the name behind me, Mrs. Zheng, my mind was like thunder, and the whole person was stunned in place.
At this time, Ying Kan remembered that he had seen Mrs. Zheng's corpse.
Ying Kan slowly raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng.
"Bai Yan!"
Ying Zheng said, and then he didn't pay attention to Ying Kan, whether the rebellion was true or not, he would naturally know when he arrived in Zhongmu City.
When the time comes, don't talk about winning, even if he wins the government, he will also meet in person those warriors who want to kill him.
Inside the yard.
Ying Zheng looked at Yang Duanhe and Li Xin.
"The two of you were ordered to rush back to Luoyang to arrest the Zheng family and go to Zhongmu City respectively."
Ying Zheng ordered.
"No!"
"No!
”
Yang Duanhe and Li Xin hurriedly made gifts.
Ying Zheng looked at the two, and then turned his head to look at the eunuch on the side, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, but fortunately, it was fleeting and very vague.
"Passing on the widow's order, Chu Cheng exposed the traitor, escorted meritorious, promoted to the middle guard, and transferred to Yinyi in Qianzhong to garrison!"
Ying Zheng opened his mouth and ordered.
"No!"
The eunuch hurriedly saluted, then turned to leave.
And hearing Ying Zheng's words, whether it was Ying Kan, Li Xin, or even General Yang, they couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng in surprise.
General Chu Cheng?
Ying Kan and General Yang were the first to come back to their senses, and due to their status, the two of them immediately recalled that the Chu family and the Zheng family seemed to have a marriage!
I see!
At this time, Ying Kan and General Yang finally understood why Bai Yan got the news of the traitor in such a short period of time, it turned out to be the credit of General Chu Yan.
Ying Kan finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't found out by Bai Yan alone.
After all, as long as Bai Yan didn't find out alone, it wouldn't seem like he was a useless waste.
..........
Qi country Linzi.
"Father, how is that?"
In a small bamboo garden, a man in his forties dressed in Confucian costume squatted in the corner with an angry face.
On the other side was an old man with gray temples.
At this moment, the old man was holding a cane, and he was trembling with anger by the middle-aged man.
"You, I'm angry~!"
The old man was Bai Yan's grandfather.
However, compared to the beginning, now my grandfather is no longer as calm as in the past, for example, once in this small garden, although not to say how good, but also because of the ancestral inheritance, there are some small things everywhere in the garden.
At this moment, at a glance, the surroundings are empty.
Even my grandfather's once neat and tidy clothes have been turned into messy coarse cloth.
The clothes are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the cloth clothes are also good and bad, at least the cloth clothes on my grandfather at this time are the worst kind.
Under the unkempt white hair, the old face was blue with anger.
"You, you!"
The grandfather looked at the uncle, his eldest son, and wanted to kill the other party.
In this village, all the face of the past few decades has been lost by the uncle!
Thinking back to this morning, in the face of the aggressive third son, the eldest son finally told the truth.
No wonder it has been almost a year since he came back, and no matter how much he is persuaded, the eldest son will not return to Qin.
It turned out that he had fled back from the Qin State, and he was not returning to his hometown at all.
"I'm angry~!"
The more my grandfather thought about it, the more angry he became.
At the beginning, in order to let the eldest son go to the Qin State, the family exchanged all the fields for money for the eldest son's needs all the way, and the whole family was counting on the eldest son to come back and take the family to the Qin State to enjoy the blessings.
"In the past, I was slandered by traitors in the Qin Kingdom, and I can't blame me!"
The uncle looked at his father, who was stopped by his mother, and explained cheekily.
Although Fang just said that he was greedy for money, as long as he didn't admit it and didn't remember, it would be fine!
And right now.
The important thing is not this matter, but how to get to the state of Chu.
"Father! Can't you trust your child again? I went to ask the middle brother for money for the child to go to Chu State, and the child swore that he had already seen his old friend in Jixia School Palace, and the old friend promised that as long as the child went to Chu State, he would introduce the powerful to the child! With the wisdom of a child. ”
As he spoke, the uncle glanced at his father: "Father still doesn't believe that in the future, the family will be able to enjoy glory and wealth." ”
Words.
The trembling grandfather pointed at the uncle and couldn't say a word.
Although he was angry, but in the same way, the uncle's words still came to my grandfather's mind, indeed, now that the family is like this, if you can't find a way, it will only get worse and worse.
And with the ability of the eldest son, if he can go to Chu State to get acquainted with the powerful, then the whole family can follow the uncle, live in the mansion, and be served.
"Beloved, just believe in Zihuai! Zhong'er has been honest and kind-hearted since he was a child, as long as he speaks, Zhong'er will definitely give some money to Zihuai to go to Chu State. ”
】
The white-haired old woman also said to her grandfather.
For her eldest son, her grandmother also has trust in her, not to mention how can her grandmother bear to watch her eldest son stay at home all his life, and his talent is not appreciated.
"Yes! If not, just ask, Na Yan'er has been in Yicheng for the past two years, but she brought a lot of money back to her family! ”
Ying's clan was also not far away, helping to echo the road.
"Yes, yes, yes! Go ask! Ask for more, and give a little more to the family. Father went and asked by the way, to see if he could let Brother Zhong pay some land to his father, after all, Brother Zhong only has five people, we only have one field, but there are more than ten people! Then the money doesn't care about that little bit of money. ”
Bai Yan's uncle, father and son's wife, also said softly and hurriedly.
The other three women were also in agreement, and even the two young women with children in their arms looked at the old man.
Two years.
It is far more than this small garden that has changed, in terms of food and clothing, everything has changed.
And even the uncle and father and son Tai knew at this time that his father was to blame for selling the land, and all the money was given to the eldest brother Huai to go to the Qin State.
But now it's too late to pursue anything, it's better to think about it, how to get Brother Zhong's money over and improve the family's life, this time no matter whether Zihuai goes to Chu State to live or die, let the family have money first.
"Go back!
! ”
In the garden, the grandfather looked at the eyes of the family, and threw the crutches to the ground in anger.
"The first two times, I already asked for it, and now I go again, the old man can't afford to lose this face!"
Grandfather's old face was full of sadness.
At this time.
Outside the small garden, suddenly a young man hurriedly walked in.
"Zilu, how's that, that shaft...... Would Yan'er be willing to give some money? ”
When the uncle saw his son Lu coming back, he hurriedly got up and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Zitai, who was a few steps away, saw the eldest brother like this, and his eyes were full of meaning.
It seems that his brother is really thick-skinned, not only thinking about how to get money from the Xiao family, but also asking Zi Lu to go all the way to Yicheng to find Yan'er.
"Father, the child didn't find anyone!"
When Zilu saw his father, he knelt on the ground and said with a sad face.
At this moment, Zi Lu is no longer wearing the original Confucian clothes, with a polite appearance, not to mention that the coarse cloth clothes on his body are full of mud, and even the little beard and dirt stains on his face can be seen, and he has experienced a lot.
"What? Didn't find it? Didn't you say that it was under the Ling Shi Gate? How could it be impossible to find someone. ”
After hearing Zilu's words, the uncle asked with a puzzled expression.
Zitai and Ying's family, even grandfather and grandmother glanced at each other and looked at Zilu.
"Father, the child asked those servants under Ling Shimen, and they all said that there was no such person!"
Zilu shook his head.
Thinking of when he was in Yicheng, Zilu also wondered if he had heard it wrong, Yan, who often gave people to bring money to his family, was not under Ling Shimen.
"What's going on? Where did that go? ”
Uncle looked puzzled.
Zitai and his wife glanced at each other, and couldn't help frowning.
Just when everyone was silent, a woman with a young child in her arms suddenly spoke.
"Didn't my father say that he had seen Yan in Xianyang?"
The woman whispered.
If Bai Yan was here, he might still remember that before leaving, he had met many villagers with women who wanted to marry Zilu to Xu, and at that time, among all the women who wanted to marry Zilu, there was this woman named Cen Qing.
But at that time, don't talk about this Cen Qing, even everyone else, they didn't look at Yan with their eyes.
Now.
Cen Qing hugged the child and looked at the eyes of her grandfather, grandmother and others.
"Yes, it's similar, but that's not Yan!"
When the uncle heard his daughter-in-law's words, he shook his head.
This matter has been confirmed a long time ago, if Na Yan'er is in Xianyang, how can he still ask someone to bring money to the Xiao family, there will be no one in this world who will give his money to others.
Not to mention that it has been like this for two years.
"Father, it doesn't matter if it's not, the important thing is that Yan is not in Yicheng now, my father said yes, yes! And my father didn't go to Chu this time. ”
Cen Qing said this, looked at Zilu's father, his own father, and said softly: "It's going to Qin State!" ”
Inside the Bamboo Garden.
At first, when everyone heard Cen Qing's words, they all frowned, not understanding why Cen Qing said this, after all, the uncle had obviously committed something in the Qin State, and it was impossible to return to the Qin State.
Yet soon.
Ying's clan was the first to react, and then Zitai also understood Cen Qing's meaning, and looked at Cen Qing in surprise.
"Wonderful!"
Zitai said excitedly.
Zitai knows very well that Na Xiao's oil and salt will not enter, but as long as it involves Shui Shou and Shui Yan, Na Xiao's will lose his proportion.
And if you want to make the Xiao family pay for it this time, there is nothing to do if it is best to start with Shui Yan.
"Hiss~!"
Uncle also realized it at this time.
"That's right! I said that I would go to Qin State, but not necessarily to Qin State, and Brother Zhong and Xiao didn't know that I had committed something in Qin State! There will be no doubt that it is wonderful, it is really wonderful! ”
The uncle said with a happy face, then turned his head and looked at his daughter-in-law, the approval in his eyes was undisguised.
When Zilu heard his father's words at this time, he reacted and looked at his wife, a little dumbfounded.
"Beloved!"
Cen Qing saw Zilu's gaze, her face was full of shyness, and she seemed to be able to think of this attention, and she was also very happy.
