Xianyang.

The sun climbed up the distant mountains in the east, and the cold spring breeze shook the light dust.

The orange-red earth mist on both sides of the Weishui River rises in the sky, shrouding the nearby mountains, rivers, cities, fields, and forests.

Xianyang's four arrow towers stand up majestically, arching the palaces and pavilions of the central imperial city, in the red light and purple fog is the heavenly market, however, no matter how the heavens color, the dawn is revealed, with the dissipation of a rooster crow, the avenue in the city has long been the chariot and horse people are in a hurry.

At the gates of the city.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove in.

Through the farmer who worked at sunrise, through the workshop in the city, and through the bustling city, he finally settled in a small shop in the middle of nowhere.

This mansion has already opened its door, welcoming all kinds of people, etc., in the early morning, several ministers in the palace are sweeping the court and running and paving, doing all kinds of work.

Xianyang's day began.

Japan.

The city is still buzzing.

However, the interior of this mansion seems to be very quiet.

A guest house was even quieter, with only a middle-aged man sitting in the room, dressed in a robe, his complexion had long faded to white, a little more brown and yellow, but his eyes were full of wisdom.

He sat upright on the seat, his hands on the scroll.

Not much.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and he followed the sound, only to hear a 'bang', the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man over half a hundred years old walked into the room quickly.

He was not in a hurry to speak.

Instead, he hurriedly closed the doors and windows, and then said excitedly: "Brother Zifang, the news we heard in Kanto is true, Guanzhong has really caused a catastrophe, and now Xianyang City is boiling in the sky, and there are faint signs that it can't be suppressed, God really helps us!" ”

The man at the table lowered the bamboo slip in his hand slightly, his face did not show much joy, and said in a deep voice: "Brother He, can you explain in detail the news you have found." ”

"That's how it should be." He Yang nodded repeatedly.

He looked inside the room, drank the bowl of soup on the case happily, and sat opposite Zhang Liang's case, the two sat opposite each other, He Yang said excitedly: "Brother Zifang, there is really a big problem in Guanzhong this time." ”

"Tens of thousands of pounds of salt and iron sink into water."

"It's about the livelihoods of hundreds of people."

"Now this has happened for ten days, but the tyranny has never given any response, now the citizens in the city are extremely panicked, and it will soon be spring ploughing, no salt is powerless to cultivate, no farm tools, and the dozens of hundreds of acres of fields rely on the bone and stone rake in the past, and the cultivation will not be completed at all, and the yield will be greatly reduced."

"Guanzhong is going to be chaotic!"

He Yang was very excited, and his hands were trembling when he spoke.

But even so, it's hard to hide the excitement.

Zhang Liang frowned, and said in a condensed voice: "Qin Ting has no moves, where did you get the news from?" ”

He Yang laughed out loud and said unconcernedly: "Do you still need to inquire about this?" Everyone in the city said so, if the government really made a move, would they still be so indignant? Will you still be so panicked? ”

"Now the panic in the city has formed, and it will not be able to subside in the short term."

"When I inquired about the news earlier, I secretly instigated a few people to attack the official office of Tyrant Qin, and also smashed the salt shops and iron shops in various places, whether there is salt and iron in the pass, Tyrant Qin and these businessmen know best, if after some measures, but there is no repercussions, it is enough to prove that this matter is true."

"Even."

"It's true!"

He Yang snorted coldly, with a thick sarcasm in his eyes, and said contemptuously: "Tyranny Qin has been too domineering over the years, he really regards himself as the master of the world, and he is still trying to fish and flesh the world at will. ”

"As a result, how can the merchant be a vegetarian?"

"Directly gave Tyrant Qin a shipwreck, and now Tyrant Qin is sending someone to verify, but what's the use of that? Even if it is found, can it solve the matter of salt and iron? ”

"If the tyrannical Qin does not engage in this set of 'official mountains and seas', and all salt and iron merchants operate their own businesses, how can there be a farce in which the salt and iron accumulated for months are all overboard?"

"All of this is the fault of the tyrannical Qin!"

"Self-destruction!"

Zhang Liang's face was silent, and he advised: "You must be careful when you do things, don't expose yourself." ”

He Yang smiled, and hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, I know that I am now wanted by Tyrant Qin, and I am in Xianyang, how can I hide my identity tightly, Tyrant Qin doesn't know about our coming to Xianyang." ”

said.

He Xuan couldn't help but sneer: "The officials of the tyrannical Qin are really degenerate, when they wanted to wipe out us at the beginning, they were extremely sharp, and all kinds of yin tricks were exhausted. ”

"But it did us well."

"We have been working on chaos in the past, but we have never found a way."

"Now it's fine."

"The Qin people took the initiative to send it to the door."

"If we don't take it, won't we make the world laugh at it?"

"Now the city is already in chaos, and there are faint signs of uncontrollable, and when the city is more chaotic, even if the tyrannical Qin makes a move, I am afraid it will not help, and no matter how the tyrannical Qin moves, it will not solve any problems, and the lack of salt and iron is real."

"Unless Tyrant Qin can conjure up salt and iron, Guanzhong is doomed to chaos."

"It's messed up, it's messed up!"

He Yang couldn't help but let out a long roar of excitement.

Seeing that He Yang was so excited, Zhang Liang's brows furrowed even tighter, he felt that something was wrong, Qin Ting's indifference seemed to be too outrageous, not at all like Qin Ting's past style.

Even if Qin Ting was desperate for his life, he would not ignore it so much.

In the drought in Guanzhong that year, Ying Zheng was not so ruthless, all of this was unusual.

If this is the case with an official office, it is understandable.

But the entire Xianyang government office is like this.

It's very wrong.

He Ying didn't think about it so much.

He only knew that the opportunity that belonged to them had come, and they must seize the situation of the chaos in Guanzhong this time, as long as there was chaos in Guanzhong, the chances of their six countries would undoubtedly be greatly increased.

He looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "Brother Zifang, now that the situation in Guanzhong is gratifying, I don't know if you have any high opinions that can help our six countries go further?" ”

Zhang Liang thought about it and nodded.

He pondered for a while, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The Qin State is stronger than the army, as long as the army is there, it will be difficult for us to shake the Qin State, and at present, most of the Qin troops in the Northern Plains and the South China Sea are from Guanzhong, and there is such a tricky thing in Guanzhong, once this matter is known to the army, it will definitely cause the army's heart to be shaken." ”

"At that time, the people's hearts will be restless, and the combat power will be greatly reduced."

He Yang said, "Good." ”

Zhang Liang stood up, paced around the room, and continued: "There are some rumors in the city, such as the government secretly hiding a lot of salt and iron, especially the relevant officials, secretly embezzlement, and collusion between officials and businessmen, which finally led to this disaster and transferred the anger of the Qin people to the government. ”

"Deepen mutual suspicion and distrust."

"The government and the people are hostile to each other and regard them as enemies, can such a country be safe for a long time?"

"Color!" He Xuan's eyes lit up.

Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, and said in a condensed voice: "I don't know the situation of the merchant at the moment, but judging from the cautiousness of the merchant during this time, I am afraid that the merchant is facing heavy pressure from the Qin court during this time, and he may not be willing to cooperate with the Qin court, so the salt and iron in the hands of the salt and iron merchant will not necessarily be pushed to the market." ”

"The businessman is cunning, and he shouldn't make a move."

"It's just that I don't know if the shipwreck in Huai County, whether the salt and iron have sunk, if not, I'm afraid there will be a lot of variables, but no matter which one it is, Shang Jia should not expose it so early, with Qin Ting's brutality and ruthlessness, if he knew that this was a man-made matter, no one of Shang Jia would be able to escape."

He Yang nodded and said, "Shang Jia won't help Qin." ”

"Some time ago, the merchants of Qidi had a riot because of Guanshanhai, although they had been suppressed by the Qin court, but the attitude of the merchants was undoubted, and the Qin merchants were only afraid that they would have resentment about it, otherwise there would not be this incident, but they were in Guanzhong, and they couldn't be like Qidi."

"But the hatred of Tyranny is the same."

Zhang Liang lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then thought of a strategy, raised his head and said: "In addition to these, this matter should also be transmitted to the counties in the eastern part of the Kanto, especially the counties adjacent to Guanzhong. ”

"It is rumored that there is a shortage of salt and iron in Guanzhong, and I am afraid that I will have to ask for salt and iron around it, and then the counties and counties near Guanzhong will suffer because of this, in order to avoid their own accidents, the counties near Guandong will definitely panic, and everyone will be in danger, and the competition for salt and iron will also intensify, and they will be more alienated from the Qin court."

"There is turmoil on all sides, how can Qin Ting take care of it?"

"As long as there is a mishandling of one place, it will fall into the tongue, and the sun will be arched, even if the Qin court has a stable military heart, how can it stop the turbulent people?"

"How can the world not be chaotic when the time comes?"

"Great goodness!" He Xuan couldn't help but wave his arms.

But he didn't want to delay any longer, and hurriedly said: "I'll arrange it, now that Tyrant Qin can't react, I can't wait like Tyrant Qin." ”

"Haha."

With a hearty laugh, He Ying left the house.

Zhang Liang stood up, listening to the fragmentary words coming from outside the house, but the sorrow between his eyebrows lingered.

He always felt that Qin Ting's behavior was strange.

But what exactly is weird.

He couldn't think of it for a moment.

He closed the door, sat back down on the seat, frowned, and said, "What does the government want?" Is it really rampant in the sky? But it's only been a few years, and Qin Ting will fall so quickly? ”

"And isn't it rumored that Fusu will deal with this matter?"

"Doesn't he care about that?"

"What the hell is going wrong with all this?"

"Something is wrong!"

Zhang Liang's brows tightened.

He thought about it carefully in his mind, but he still didn't have a clue, everything under his eyes was heading towards turmoil, and he couldn't see any figure of Qin Ting at all.

All this is not normal in itself.

Sitting for a long time.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Zhang Liang suddenly got up, and said: "If all this is intentional by the government, or even deliberately sit idly by, but for what?" ”

"Qin Ting is really not afraid of backfire, or has he already thought of a solution?"

"It's weird."

"The government. Official"

Whisper a few times.

Zhang Liang's eyebrows became more and more frowned.
