Qin Gong

"Woooooooooooo~!" (gagged voice)
"Woo~!"

Beside the moat outside Handan City, Qin soldiers holding long spears stood around the river, watching the surrounding people vigilantly with those Qin soldiers on the top of the city.

Looking outside the city at this moment, hundreds of people gathered together, looking at the hundreds of people who were tied up on the other side of the river.

Among those who were tied up, there were men, women, old and young, without exception, their bodies were covered in chaos at the moment, their mouths were still gagged, and they were struggling constantly.

"Who are those people?"

"Don't you know? They are all from Zhujiaxiang!"

"What, Zhujiaxiang?"

There was a lot of noise from the surrounding people, and when everyone knew that the hundreds of people were all from Zhujiaxiang, they couldn't help but think of a thought.

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

As long as you are from Handan, it is impossible not to know that King Qin Yingzheng lived in Handan, Zhao State since he was a child. Those noble children.

But just when the people were feeling sorry for those people in Zhujiaxiang, someone suddenly revealed the crimes committed by those people.

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

"That's right, all the notices are posted, it's in the city!"

Some young men in civilian clothes in the crowd chatted with each other, and one man even shook his head: "It's true, think about it, after Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, if he wanted revenge, why would he have no chance? You can send assassins to assassinate you if you have a high status!"

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

And this remark was heard by other people in the crowd, and some good people quickly turned their heads to discuss with others, and seized the opportunity to show that they knew a lot.

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

Even though some people were suspicious, looking at the hundreds of people who were about to be killed on the other side of the river at this moment, their eyes were not as indignant as they were at the beginning, but there was a little doubt and suspicion.

Then under the gaze of all the people.

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

Beside the moat.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a burly man picked up a huge ax specially designed for beheading, and chopped off the heads of each prisoner.

ten, twenty, thirty
Batch after batch of men were pressed onto the beheading platform, and then under the watchful eyes of everyone, no matter how hard they struggled, they would be beheaded in the end.

As the heads rolled to the ground one by one, the soil beside the moat was gradually stained red with blood, and the blood gradually flowed into the water in the river channel.

More and more people were beheaded, and the people behind were more terrified and desperate, looking at the heads one after another on the ground, trembling all over, but nothing helped.

In the end, even if they wet 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 hurried into the mansion, he came to a main hall to report.

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

In the main hall.Except for Ying Kan, the small wooden tables and seats in the left and right rows are full of people, including men, women and children, and there are more than ten people.

At the top of the main hall, there are three elderly people sitting side by side, each kneeling behind a wooden seat.

At this moment, whether it was the old men or others, after hearing Qin Li'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 becoming a king."

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

This sentence has also been recognized by other people. 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 trained by the Ying family from among the many children of the clan since he was a child. Go, Ying Kan was transferred back to Xianyang Palace.

Now Ying Kan is not far behind Feng Jun's credit.

In the state of Qin, the throne cannot be hereditary, only the marquis can. Therefore, even members of the Ying clan still have to make contributions to the state of Qin in order to hold important positions among the hundred officials.

"Baby let Shi Bo and others down!"

Ying Kan heard the old man's words, knelt behind the wooden table, straightened his body quickly, and bowed his hands to the three old men above him.

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

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

Above the main hall, another fat old man with white hair waved his hand, his old face was full of resentment at the moment.

"If Chu Ren and Bai Yan, if someone told you the news before, you and Bai Yan will go to Zhongmou City together to eradicate those rebellious traitors, so why worry about not being able to be crowned king during this trip!"

The fat old man was talking, his face was clearly angry, and he patted the wooden table twice with his hands, his dissatisfaction was palpable.

"that is!"

"indeed so."

"No!"

In the main hall, upon hearing the fat old man's words, the rest of the men began to whisper in agreement.

Seeing this scene, Ying Kan suddenly felt a little ashamed. After thinking for a while, he looked at the clansmen who were still talking about it, and then turned his head to pay respects to the three uncles above the main hall.

"Shi Bo, speaking of it, I don't blame Bai Yan this time, it's all the child's fault."

When Ying Kan said this, his ears felt hot, and his complexion gradually turned red. Ying Kan, who was born in the Ying clan, rarely admits his mistakes in his life, let alone an outsider.

But now Ying Kan has to stand up.

After all, if these clansmen become dissatisfied with Bai Yan, not to mention Bai Yan, even the Bai family will not feel good.

The members of the Ying clan did not accumulate contacts from generation to generation, and accumulated contacts from generation to generation, plus those members of the Ying clan who were still the same as their ancestors despite their thin blood.

Not to mention the Bai family and its connections, even Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, dare not ignore such power.

"Shibo, it was Hai'er who had many disputes with Bai Yan before, but Hai'er mentioned it to Bai Yan. If it is not true, it should not disturb people's hearts. This is the fault of Hai'er. It is also the same, and Bai Yan will go to verify it alone!"

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

Inside the main hall.

Hearing Ying Kan's words and looking at Ying Kan's appearance, many young and old looked at each other in surprise, as if they were a little skeptical that this was the Ying Kan they knew.

No one expected that Ying Kan would speak up for Bai Yan.

"It seems that this time, your mind is much calmer!"

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

The old man in the center and the fat old man were also somewhat relieved.

"Although Hai'er is at odds with Bai Yan, he also knows that it was indeed Hai'er's negligence that almost caused a catastrophe!"

Ying Kan said with a stiff smile.

In Ying Kan's mind, he knew very well that if it wasn't for Chu Ren's letter, if it wasn't for Bai Yan's conviction to verify it himself, disaster might not be far away.

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

Think back to those gentry who were hostile to Bai Yan before.

Ying Kan didn't tell his clansmen that the feud with Bai Yan had been settled, let alone mention the truth of the matter.

At this time, Ying Kan only wanted to replace Bai Yan's favor as soon as possible, only in this way, when seeing Bai Yan again, he would not feel ashamed in his heart, and could be frank and frank with Bai Yan.

"Bai Yan can have the demeanor of a gentleman like you, why did he make such a meritorious service without being promoted to a noble! Hmph, if that Bai Yan led you to perform meritorious deeds, where is the king this time? Ascension."

The obese old man told Ying Kan not to be too gentlemanly, and to stop everything on himself. If Bai Yan had half of Ying Kan like this, the two of them might have taken a step forward by now.

Ying Kan looked at Uncle Liyang II, and smiled helplessly, which was full of bitterness at the moment.

Accompanied by darkness.

After drinking with his clansmen, Ying Kan took the carriage back to his mansion, but he had just returned to the mansion, just now he hugged his two beautiful concubines, ready to enjoy it.

But the servant came in a hurry and told Ying Kan that there was someone visiting in Ying Kan's mansion, and he had been sitting there for a long time.

Ying Kan was a little confused, but this trip made Ying Kan put away his mind. Based on the principle of not making a single mistake, Ying Kan asked his servants to take him there.

soon.

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

"Clan brother!"

"Clan brother!"

Seeing Ying Kan, the two men hurriedly got up to make a ceremony. The two men were one big and one small, the young one was smaller than Ying Kan, and the big one was about the same as Ying Kan.

Ying Kan looked at the two men and frowned slightly.

"Just finished drinking, why don't you go back and rest?"

Ying Kan looked at the two clansmen who were drinking together just now, and asked.

Thinking of Yingbu and Yingxin leaving early under the pretext of being drunk just now, and now bringing people here again, I immediately thought of something.

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

"Brother Ying Kan!"

"Zhao Yi, I met brother Ying Kan!"

The two men spoke.

The two men's names were Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo, and they had met Ying Kan several times, all on the day of the sacrifice, because they were both members of the Zhao clan.

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

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

Ying Kan is not a fool, it is already dark now, and he just had a drink with his clansmen, Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo have nothing to do, they will never find him at this time.

"Hehe~!"

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

At this time, Ying Bu on the side smiled and let Ying Kan take the first seat.

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

"It's like this, brother, just now at the banquet, the second uncle said, if Bai Yan told the brother to make meritorious deeds together with the brother, where is the second uncle on the king? When you will be able to become the king."

Seeing that Ying Kan, Zhao Shuo, and Zhao Yi were all seated, and seeing no one around, Ying Bu cupped his hands and said to Ying Kan. After speaking, Ying Bu looked displeased.

"I saw the clan brother's expression, and I felt the same way. I felt angry. When I returned home, I happened to meet Zhao Shuo and Zhao Yi. When I heard about the clan brother, Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo felt righteous indignation. So I came to see my clan brother late at night."

Ying Bu slowly told Ying Kan why.

As for meeting Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo by chance, it is not known if it is true or not, at least Ying Kan doubts it.

After listening to Yingbu's words, Ying Kan knew that Yingbu and Yingxin had misunderstood his previous appearance.

When Uncle Er said that, he did have a wry smile on his face, and felt uncomfortable, but that discomfort was not because of Bai Yan, but because he was disappointed in himself, and was blinded by being too proud before.

"So, are you two ready?"

Ying Kan didn't rush to pay attention to Ying Bu, but turned to Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo brothers.

These two are Zhao Wang's clansmen, and they have a wide network of connections in the Zhao land. If these two Zhao clansmen take the lead and unite with many noble families to deal with Bai Yan, maybe it is really possible.

Inside the main hall.

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

"Remove."

Zhao Shuo said softly, "Bai Yan!"

In the main hall illuminated by twenty or thirty candle lamps, Zhao Shuo's words made Ying Kan's heart skip a beat.

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

In an 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 instead 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, did you respect Brother Ying Kan? I heard that after Bai Yan made meritorious service, Brother Ying Kan went to question him, but Bai Yan was still sarcastic. Is there such a thing?"

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

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi saw Ying Kan's paler face, turned his head and looked at Zhao Shuo, and the two showed satisfied smiles.

Many people knew about Ying Kan's disagreement with Bai Yan back then. They heard from Yingxin that after Bai Yan's meritorious deeds, he didn't take Ying Kan's identity as a family member of the Ying family seriously and made ironic remarks.

This is in front of everyone, without mercy.

Zhao Shuo asked himself, if someone treats him like this, he will definitely kill that person because of his face and status.

Not to mention that Ying Kan is still the Minister of Qin.

"Could it be that this is false?"

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

Ying Xin and Ying Bu immediately understood, started to cooperate with Zhao Yi, and quickly said that this matter was absolutely true, how did Bai Yan say those ironic words in front of many people, clan brothers and subordinates.

"enough!"

Ying Kan let out a slight annoyance and interrupted everyone.

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

This scene made Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo look satisfied.

Ying Kan raised his head slowly,
"How to get rid of it? Bai Yan is a general of the Qin State, and his cavalry are all elite troops. What's more, if the king finds out, have you thought about the consequences?"

Ying Kan asked.

Facing Ying Kan's question, Zhao Yi pondered for a while.

"Simple, the queen mother died of illness, the king will not stay in Handan for a long time, and we will find a way to make trouble in Yanmen. With Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Shu, Meng Tian and other Qin generals present, the king will definitely let Bai Yan go to Yanmen. Then I started to get rid of Bai Yan on the road."

Zhao Yi told the plan.

Zhao Shuo at the side also quickly added.

"Master Ying Kan, think about it, Baiyan in Yanmen County is popular, but except for Yanmen, in Handan, Gaotang, Wusui, Feixia, Fanwu and other places, the Zhao people in that place don't hate the Bai family. Let hundreds of thousands of widows and widows in Zhao country hang white silk on the eaves, and Bai Yan's death must be Zhao people's revenge for Bai family."

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

As long as the matter is urgent, the number of cavalry will not be many, and when the time comes to know when Bai Yan will go to Yanmen and the route back to Yanmen, Bai Yan will have ten lives and only one death.

"That's right, brother, even if the king is furious at that time, there is no need to worry, I will tell my father-in-law!"

Yingbu also spoke out at this time.

And Yingbu's father-in-law is the right prime minister of the Qin State, Lord Changping. It should be that Yingbu is the youngest daughter of the many daughters who married Lord Changping.

"You two go back first!"

When Ying Kan heard what Yingbu said, he didn't answer Zhao Yi, but turned his head to look at Yingbu and Yingxin with a serious face.

"family"

What else would Yingbu want to say.

"go back!"

Ying Kan roared, startling Ying Bu who was the same age. Seeing Ying Kan's gloomy face, Ying Bu and Ying Xin got up quickly.

"Brother Yingkan, why is this?"

Brothers Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo looked puzzled when they saw this. Seeing that Yingbu and Yingxin were about to be kicked out, they hurriedly asked.

"The two of them cannot participate in this matter!"

Ying Kan didn't explain too much, but simply said a word.

see.

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

As long as Ying Kan is in the camp, they will be in charge here in Handan, the king will have Ying Kan as his internal support, and in the state of Qin, there will be Lord Changping headed by the Chu family.

If so many forces get rid of Bai Yan, how can they worry about others? Even if Ying Zheng is furious, as long as they throw out some scapegoats at that time, they won't be implicated.

But looking at Ying Kan's appearance.

Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo didn't insist anymore, they 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's use of the clan relationship will be enough to deal with it at that time, and it is also the key to success or failure.

Inside the main hall.

Ying Kan watched the two clansmen leave before looking at Zhao Yi.

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

Ying Kan asked a crucial question.

In Ying Kan's eyes, even though Bai Yan led troops to destroy Zhao, the most crucial battle of Jingxing was Bai Yan personally led troops to defeat Zhao army.

But Ying Kan didn't believe it, 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 for a while, and saw Zhao Shuo also nodded, so he said to Ying Kan: "Bai Shi!"

"Bai Yan was in Yanmen before and killed so many nobles from Zhao. Brother Ying Kan can ask how many people in Handan 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 behavior in Yanmen back then, not to mention other places, even the dignitaries in Handan City, wished for Bai Yan's death, did not dare to kill Bai Yan, but were afraid of Bai Yan's iron cavalry.

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

Ying Kan understood Zhao Shuo's words, thought for a while, and asked.

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

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

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

"Brother Ying Kan, don't worry!"

Zhao Yi and Zhao Shuo looked at each other happily when they heard Ying Kan's words.
Later, in the main hall, the two informed Ying Kan of the specific people involved. These people were all enemies with the Bai family, or with Bai Yan, and their influence spread across other places.

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

In the middle of the night.

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

In Ying Kan's mansion.

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

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

Ying Kan knew before that that many people wanted Bai Yan to die, so he told Bai Yan privately.

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

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

At this time, an old servant slowly came behind Ying Kan.

Hearing this, Ying Kan looked away, turned around and walked towards the study.

Dear friends, please explain, it is not water.

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

Things often change from little things.

There is no unreasonable loyalty and loyalty in the world.

Money, status, yes, gratitude is even more so.
