"Woo woo woo~!" (sound of mouth gagged)

"Woo~!"

Next to the moat outside Handan City, Qin soldiers holding Changge stood around the river, looking at the surrounding people vigilantly with the Qin soldiers on the head of the city.

At this moment, at a glance outside the city, hundreds of people gathered together, looking at the more than 100 people who were tied up on the other side of the river.

Among those who were tied up, there were men, women, and children, all without exception, and their bodies were full of confusion at the moment, and their mouths were still gagged with something, and they were constantly struggling.

"Who the hell are those people?"

"Don't you know? They are all people from Zhujia Lane! ”

"What, Zhujiaxiang?"

The onlookers were noisy, and when everyone learned that the more than 100 people were from Zhujiaxiang, they couldn't help but think of a thought.

That is, King Yingzheng of Qin is coming back for revenge this time!

As long as you are a Handan person, it is impossible not to know that Qin Wang Yingzheng has lived in Handan, Zhao State since he was a child, and has been coldly regarded and bullied since he was a child, and the person who bullied Yingzheng is the children of those scholars who were also in Zhujiaxiang at the beginning.

However, just as the people were lamenting those people in Zhujiaxiang, someone suddenly told them about the crimes they had committed.

"I heard that those people had learned that Ying Zheng was coming to Handan, and they were afraid of Ying Zheng's revenge, so they united with other scholars to assassinate Ying Zheng halfway."

"That's it, all the notices have been posted, and it's in the city!"

There were some young men in cloth in the crowd, and when they talked to each other, one man shook his head: "Speaking of which, think about it, after Ying Zheng succeeds to the throne, if you want to take revenge, why don't you have a chance, why wait until now, with Ying Zheng's status, you can send assassins to assassinate you!" ”

After the man finished speaking, the other men nodded and hurriedly agreed.

And these remarks were heard by others in the crowd, and some good people hurriedly turned their heads to discuss with others, seizing the opportunity to show that they knew a lot.

As a result, more and more onlookers began to know the reason.

Even if some people were skeptical, at this moment, looking at the more than 100 people on the other side of the river who were about to be killed, their eyes were not as indignant as they were at the beginning, but there was a trace of doubt and suspicion.

And then it was under the watchful eye of all the people.

An official in an official uniform stepped forward, read the edict aloud with a cloth, and after reading it, ordered the execution.

Next to the moat.

Under the gaze of the dense crowd of people, a burly and stout man picked up a huge axe for decapitation and cut off the heads of prisoners one by one.

Ten, twenty, thirty

Batch after batch of men were pressed to the beheading platform, and then in full view of everyone, no matter how they struggled, they would eventually be beheaded.

As the heads rolled to the ground, the soil beside the moat gradually became red with blood, and the blood gradually flowed into the water in the river.

More and more people were beheaded, and the more people who got behind, the more frightened and desperate they became, looking at one head after another on the ground, trembling, but to no avail.

In the end, even if they pee their crotch, they will still inevitably be beheaded.

this day.

The moat outside Handan City was once again stained red with blood.

And in Handan City, in a mansion, when a Qin official hurriedly ran into the mansion and came to a main hall to report.

Ying Kan, who had been waiting for news in the main hall, was relieved to learn from Qin officials that all the people in Zhujiaxiang had been executed.

Inside the main hall. Except for Yingkan, the small wooden tables and seats on the left and right rows are full of people, men, women and children, and there are more than ten people.

At the top of the main hall, three elderly men sat side by side, each kneeling behind a wooden seat.

At this moment, whether it was those old men or the rest of the others, after hearing Qin Yan's words, these people looked at each other, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Ying Kan together.

"Ying Kan, you did a good job in this matter! This trip back to Xianyang, with your merits, is only one step away from being crowned. ”

A white-haired old man above the main hall said.

This sentence has also been recognized by others, the people here are all relatives of the Ying clan, and they are all members of the same clan, so naturally there is no need to hide it.

Ying Kan was selected and cultivated by the Ying clan from among the children of many clansmen since he was a child, and when he grew up, he entered the court, and then went to the place to be a official, and in addition to training, he also cultivated contacts for the Ying clan, and with the old age of the clansmen in the court of the Qin State, Ying Kan was transferred back to the Xianyang Palace.

Now Yingkan is still a little short of the credit of the king.

In the Qin State, the throne cannot be hereditary, only the marquis can, so even if the Win clan is a member of the clan, he still has to contribute to the Qin State in order to hold an important position among the hundred officials.

"The child has disappointed Shibo and the others!"

Hearing the old man's words, Ying Kan knelt behind the wooden table, quickly straightened up, and bowed to the three old men above.

In front of the three old men, Ying Kan naturally didn't say his name, let alone his title, but called himself a junior.

"I don't blame you, speaking of which, this time it's not Bai Yan and Chu Yan!"

Above the main hall, another white-haired, fat old man waved his hand, and his old face was full of anger at this moment.

"If Chu Yan and Bai Yan have one person who has informed you of the news before, you and Bai Yan will go to Zhongmu City together to eradicate those troubled traitors, why worry that you can't be crowned a king on this trip!"

As the old fat old man spoke, the look on his face was obviously moved, and his hand slapped the wooden table twice, and his dissatisfaction was overflowing.

"That's it!"

"That's true."

"No!"

Under the main hall, hearing the words of the obese old man, the rest of the men whispered in agreement.

When Ying Kan saw this scene, his face suddenly felt a little ashamed, he thought about it, looked at the clansmen who were still talking around him, and then turned his head to the three Shibo Jili above the main hall.

"Shibo, speaking of which, I don't blame Bai Yan this time, it's all a child's fault."

Ying Kan said this, feeling that the roots of his ears were a little hot, and his face gradually turned red, Ying Kan, who was born in the Ying clan, rarely admitted his mistakes in his life, let alone an outsider.

But now Ying Kan has to stand up.

After all, if these clansmen are dissatisfied with Bai Yan, let alone Bai Yan, even if it is the Bai family, it will not be comfortable.

The people of the Win clan are not the ones who have accumulated contacts from generation to generation, but have accumulated connections from generation to generation, plus those people of the Win clan who have thin bloodlines, but are still the same as their ancestors.

Not to mention the Bai family and its connections, even Yingzheng, who is the king of Qin, dare not ignore such a force.

"Shibo, there was a lot of disputes between the child and Bai Yan before, but the child also mentioned to Bai Yan that if it is not a conclusive matter, it should not disturb people's hearts, this is not the child's. is also the same, Bai Yanfang will verify it alone! ”

Ying Kan explained to the three clansmen with a frank face.

Inside the main hall.

Hearing Ying Kan's words and looking at Ying Kan's appearance, many young and old people looked at each other in surprise, and seemed to be a little suspicious, this was still not the Ying Kan they knew.

Everyone didn't expect Ying Kan to actually speak for Bai Yan.

"It seems that this time, your heart is a lot calmer!"

Among the three old men above, the old man who had not spoken all this time couldn't help but nod slightly when he looked at Ying Kan's appearance.

The old man in the center and the obese old man were also a little relieved.

"Although the child is at odds with Bai Yan, he also knows that this matter is indeed the child's negligence, which almost caused a catastrophe!"

Ying Kan said with a stiff smile.

In Ying Kan's heart, he knew very well that if it weren't for Chu Yan's letter, if it weren't for Bai Yan's conviction to verify it personally, I am afraid that the catastrophe would not be far away.

Not to mention the meritorious service, if Bai Yan hadn't taken the initiative to stop him, let alone the merit, it would be a blessing not to be condemned.

Thinking back to the previous scholars who were hostile to Bai Yan.

Ying Kan didn't tell his clansmen that he and Bai Yan had already released their suspicions, let alone mention the truth of the matter.

At this time, Ying Kan just wants to be able to exchange Bai Yan's favor as soon as possible, only in this way, goodbye to Bai Yan, he will not be ashamed in his heart, and he can be frank and swaying with Bai Yan.

"Bai Yan can have the style of a gentleman like you, why do you make such a contribution without being promoted! Hmph, if that Bai Yan takes you to make meritorious contributions, where is the king this time, there are good words for the two of us, how can you not be promoted. ”

The obese old man asked Ying Kan not to be too gentlemanly, and stopped everything on himself, if Bai Yan was half of Ying Kan like this, now the two of them may have taken another step.

Ying Kan looked at Liyang Erbo, and raised a helpless smile, and his smile was full of bitterness at the moment.

Accompanied by darkness.

After Ying Kan and his clan finished drinking, they took a carriage back to their mansion, but when they returned to the mansion, they hugged their two beautiful concubines and prepared to enjoy themselves.

The servant hurriedly came and informed him that someone in Yingkan Mansion had visited and had been sitting for a long time.

Ying Kan was a little puzzled, but this trip made Ying Kan put away his mind, in line with the principle of Ning Duo and not making a mistake, Ying Kan let his subordinates take him over.

Soon.

Ying Kan was in the main hall and saw four men, two of whom were members of his own clan.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

When the two men saw Ying Kan, they hurriedly got up and saluted, the two men were one big and one small, the small one was smaller than Ying Kan, and the big one was about the same as Ying Kan.

Ying Kan looked at the two men, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Why don't you go back and rest after drinking?"

Ying Kan looked at the two clansmen who were still drinking together and asked.

Thinking of Fang Cai Yingbu and Ying Xin leaving early in the name of drunkenness, and now bringing people here, I immediately thought of something.

At this time, the other two older men also stood up and saluted Yingkan.

"Win Brother Kan!"

"Zhao Yi, I've seen Brother Yingkan!"

The two men spoke.

These two men, named Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo, had met with Ying Kan a few times, all on the day of the sacrifice, because these two were members of the Zhao clan.

"The two of them came late at night, but something?"

After Ying Kan saluted Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo, he raised his head and asked softly.

Ying Kan is not a fool, now that it is dark, he has just drunk with his clansmen, this Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo have nothing to do, and they will never find themselves at this time.

"Hehe~!"

When Zhao Shuo and Zhao Yi heard Ying Kan's words, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, Yingbu on the side smiled and let Yingkan take the lead.

Seeing this, Ying Kan nodded, and then motioned for Zhao Shuo and Zhao Yi to sit down.

"That's the case, clan brother, just now at the banquet, the second uncle said, if Bai Yan informs the clan brother and makes meritorious contributions with the clan brother, where is the second uncle in the king this time, they speak well for the clan brother, and the clan brother will be able to be crowned king."

After Yingbu looked at Yingkan, Zhao Shuo, and Zhao Yi all took their seats, he saw that there was no one around, and then said to Yingkan, and after speaking, Yingbu looked angry.

"I saw the expression of the clan brother, I also felt the same way, I was angry, when I returned home, I happened to meet Brother Zhao Shuo, Brother Zhao Yi, heard about the clan brother, Brother Zhao Yi and Brother Zhao Shuo, the heart was also indignant, so I came late at night to ask to see the clan brother."

Yingbu slowly said to Yingkan.

As for the coincidence of meeting Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo, the truth of this matter is unknown, at least Ying Kan is very suspicious.

After listening to Yingbu's words, Yingkan knew that Yingbu and Yingxin were misunderstanding his previous appearance.

When the second uncle said that, he did have a wry smile on his face, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but that discomfort was not because of Bai Yan, but because he was disappointed in himself, he was too arrogant and was blinded before.

"So, the two of you are preparing?"

Ying Kan didn't pay attention to Ying Bu in a hurry, but turned his head to look at Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo.

These two people are the clansmen of King Zhao, and in the land of Zhao, they have a wide range of contacts, if these two Zhao clansmen take the lead and unite many scholars to deal with Bai Yan together, it may be really possible.

Inside the main hall.

Feeling Ying Kan's gaze, Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo thought of the previous deeds of Ying Kan and Bai Yan, and without hesitation, they slowly said a word.

"Get rid of it."

Zhao Shuo said softly: "Bai Yan! ”

In the main hall illuminated by twenty or thirty candles, Zhao Shuo's words were fluttering, but they made Ying Kan's heart skip a beat.

Ying Kan pondered for a moment, and under the candlelight, his face gradually became a little gloomy.

Under the atmosphere of silence for a long time.

Ying Kan didn't answer in a hurry, and this appearance did not make the other four people scheming, but looked happy.

Because Ying Kan doesn't speak, it means that he already has the idea of getting rid of Bai Yan!

"Brother Ying Kan think about it, this time Bai Yan, do you respect Brother Ying Kan, I heard that after Bai Yan's meritorious service, Brother Ying Kan went to question, then Bai Yan was still sneering, but is there such a thing?"

Zhao Yi thought for a while, knelt behind a small wooden table, and asked Ying Kan.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi saw Ying Kan's increasingly pale face, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Shuo, and the two showed a satisfied smile.

At the beginning, Ying Kan and Bai Yan did not agree, many people knew this news, and I heard Ying Xin say that after Bai Yan made meritorious contributions, he did not take Ying Kan, who was a relative of the Ying clan, in his eyes, and made ironic remarks.

This is in front of everyone, without mercy.

Zhao Shuo asked himself, if someone treated him like this, he would inevitably kill that person in terms of face and status.

Not to mention that Ying Kan is still a minister of Qin.

"Could it be that this is a fake?"

Zhao Yi looked at Ying Kan who was still silent, his face became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't help laughing, looking at Ying Xin and Ying Bu.

Yingxin and Yingbu immediately understood, began to cooperate with Zhao Yi, and hurriedly said that this matter was true, in front of many people, in front of the subordinates of the clan brothers, how did Bai Yan say those ironic words.

"Enough!"

Ying Kan let out a light rage and interrupted everyone's words.

Ying Kan's voice was not loud, but it was full of monstrous anger.

This scene made Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo show satisfied eyes.

Ying Kan slowly raised his head,

"How to get rid of it? Bai Yan is a general of the Qin State, and the iron cavalry under his command is all elite divisions, not to mention that if the king knows, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”

Ying Kan asked.

Zhao Yi pondered in the face of Ying Kan's inquiry.

"Simple, the queen mother died of illness, the king will not stay in Handan for a long time, we will find a way to make trouble in Yanmen, there are Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Uncle Meng, Meng Tian and other Qin generals are there, the king will definitely let Bai Yan go to Yanmen, and then he will get rid of Bai Yan on the road."

Zhao Yi said the plan.

Zhao Shuo on the side also hurriedly added.

"Lord Yingkan, think about it, Bai Yan of Yanmen County is popular, but in addition to Yanmen, Handan, Gaotang, Wusui, Feixia, Fanwu and other places, the Zhao people in that place do not hate the Bai family, in the past, Bai Qi let hundreds of thousands of lonely and widowed households in Zhao State hang white silk on the eaves, Bai Yan's death must be the revenge of the Zhao people against the Bai family."

Zhao Shuo said, let Ying Kan not worry, they just need Ying Kan to cooperate, let Bai Yan hurry back to Yanmen.

As long as the matter is urgent, then the number of iron horsemen is not much, and when the time comes, knowing when Bai Yan will go to Yanmen and the route back to Yanmen, Bai Yan will have ten lives, and there will only be one dead end.

"That's it, brother, at that time, the king was angry, and there is no need to worry, I will inform my father-in-law!"

Yingbu also spoke out at this time.

And the old man of Yingbu is the right prime minister of the current Qin State, Changping Jun, who should be Yingbu is a young daughter who marries the daughter of Changping Jun.

"You two go back first!"

When Ying Kan heard Ying Bu's words, he didn't answer Zhao Yi, but turned his head to look at Ying Bu and Ying Xin with a serious face.

"Family"

What else does Yingbu want to say.

"Go back!"

Ying Kan roared angrily, startling Ying Bu, who was the same age, looking at Ying Kan's gloomy appearance, Ying Bu and Ying Xin hurriedly got up.

"Brother Yingkan, why is this?"

Seeing this, the brothers Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo looked puzzled, and saw that Yingbu and Yingxin were about to be driven out, and hurriedly asked.

"Neither of them can be involved in this!"

Ying Kan didn't explain much, just said a simple sentence.

Looked at.

Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Ying Kan was worried that his clan would be implicated, thinking of this, both of them felt that Ying Kan was making a fuss.

As long as Yingkan is in the camp, they are responsible for doing it here in Handan, Wang Shang has Yingkan as the internal response, and there is Changping Jun headed by the Chu family in the Qin State.

With so many forces getting rid of one Bai Yan, how can they worry about others, it is Yingzheng's anger, but when the time comes, as long as some scapegoats are casually thrown, they will not be implicated.

But look at Ying Kan's appearance.

Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo didn't insist anymore, gave Yingbu and Yingxin a look, and asked them to leave first.

For Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo, as long as Ying Kan agrees, with Ying Kan by Ying Zheng's side, even if there is any change, Ying Kan will be able to deal with it when the time comes, and it is also the key to success or failure.

Inside the main hall.

After Ying Kan watched the two clansmen leave, he looked at Zhao Yi.

"You have no grievances with Bai Yan, why do you want to get rid of Bai Yan?"

Ying Kan asks a crucial question.

In Ying Kan's eyes, although Bai Yan led the troops to destroy Zhao, the most critical battle of Jing Yan was that Bai Yan personally led the troops to break the Zhao army.

But Ying Kan didn't believe it, just because of this, Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo would spend so much effort to get rid of Bai Yan.

"It's true."

Zhao Yi heard Ying Kan's words, thought about it, and saw that Zhao Shuo also nodded, so he said to Ying Kan: "Bai Clan! ”

"Previously, Bai Yan was in Yanmen, and he killed so many Zhao Dishi clans, Brother Ying Kan can ask, how many people in Handan City want Bai Yan's life!"

Zhao Shuo suddenly pointed to the outside of the main hall with an impassioned face and added.

Zhao Shuo was telling Ying Kan that Bai Yan's actions in Yanmen, not to mention other places, even the powerful people in Handan City, were eager for Bai Yan to die, and they didn't dare to kill Bai Yan but were afraid of Bai Yan's iron horse.

"How many people participated in the killing of Bai Yan this time?"

Ying Kan understood Zhao Shuo's words, thought about it, and asked.

Although it is not clear whether Zhao Yi's words are true or false, but Zhao Shuo's words are indeed true, Ying Kan also knows that now in Handan City, the scholars all want Bai Yan's life.

After all, don't mention that Bai Yan is a child of the Bai family, after Bai Qi.

It was the incident of Yanmen at the beginning, not to mention the reaction of the scholars in other cities, that is, in Handan City, there were countless scholars who resented Bai Yan.

"Brother Win Kan, rest assured!"

When Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo heard Ying Kan's words, they looked at each other with joy on their faces.

Subsequently, in the main hall, the two informed Ying Kan of the specific people involved, these people all had enmity with the Bai clan, or had enmity with Bai Yan, and their power was all over other places.

When talking about the plan later, Zhao Yi bluntly said that he took advantage of the death of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and Ying Zheng did not see the opportunity of the ministers to do it now, only at this time Ying Zheng was in a bad mood and was furious when he heard that someone was making trouble, so that Bai Yan went to Yanmen.

Late at night.

As the hours passed, the sky was full and the moon was bright, illuminating the whole land in the dark night sky.

In the mansion of Win Kan.

After Ying Kan sent Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo away, he stood under the eaves and looked at the sky above the courtyard.

Ying Kan never understood why Bai Yan wanted to thoroughly investigate the plundering and selling in Yanmen, and even executed those scholars who participated in the plundering and selling, and even some Qin officials and generals despite offending so many scholars.

Previously, Ying Kan knew that many people wanted Bai Yan to die, and he also told Bai Yan in private.

But Ying Kan never thought that there would be so much, I am afraid that even if Ying Zheng knew, he would be shocked by the above list, and then angry.

"My lord, the pen and ink are ready!"

An old servant slowly came behind Ying Kan at this time.

Hearing this, Ying Kan withdrew his gaze and turned around and walked towards the study.

Dear greats, explain, it's not water.

It was Ying Kan who didn't know that after this incident, the children of Yanmen all joined the iron cavalry and were loyal to Bai Yan.

Things often change from small things.

There is no such thing as loyalty and loyalty without a cause.

Money, status, yes, gratitude.
