Qin Gong

Chapter 473
"Mr. Changping, Mr. Changping!"

Inside Yanmen Shanwu City, Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips and couldn't help but smile, he was deeply relieved.

The bamboo slips were sent by Gouze, which described the current situation in Yingchuan County in detail. After seeing Yang Xiong's speculation and Lord Changping's reaction, Bai Yan couldn't help feeling that Lord Changping only cared about Xianyang. But he didn't know that, invisibly, he had already done him a favor.

"You want to tell Mrs. Zhang about this?"

Zhao Qiu took the bamboo slips and looked up at Bai Yan after reading them.

Zhao Qiu was one of the few people who knew about Han Ling and the Zhang family, and it was the same. After reading the bamboo slips, Zhao Qiu naturally thought of Zhang's situation.

But to Zhao Qiu's surprise, Bai Yan shook his head.

"Why should I say this?"

Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words and explained softly.

"In the past, when Lord Changping went to the state of Chu, Mrs. Zhang clearly had the opportunity to assassinate him, but he never took action."

Bai Yan recalled what happened a few months ago. At that time, King Chuyou died of illness, and King Changping, headed by the state of Qin, went to express condolences on behalf of the state of Qin. Just before King Chuyou, the son of Lord Changping, Mi Zhao, was killed. Everyone knew that Mrs. Zhang did it.

However, just when he thought that Mrs. Zhang would ambush and assassinate Lord Changping when he learned that Lord Changping had gone south to Chu, Mrs. Zhang remained silent. Thinking about it now, someone must be helping Mrs. Zhang secretly. Send it to Mrs. Zhang.

South Korea is in the place of the Fourth World War, and the Zhang family is the fifth prime minister of Han, who can support the weak Han to survive among the countries. Zhang's connections are really beyond ordinary people's imagination.

After being framed, there are still many forces willing to help.

wooden table.

After Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, he thought for a while and didn't say anything about Mrs. Zhang.

Lord Changping's actions are thousands of times better than any Bai Yan's calculations. Not to mention that Mrs. Zhang has already identified Mr. Changping and killed Mi Nuo, it is because Mrs. Zhang was not deceived by Bai Yan's means. Mrs. Zhang said that it has nothing to do with Mr. Changping, and no one in Mrs. Zhang would believe it.

"Then what do you do? During this period of time, Yanmen is fine. In other counties, the news that you have kept 'dead soldiers' in captivity has spread all over the place. I am afraid that it will spread all over the world soon!"

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan, and while speaking, Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan's beautiful eyes, which were also full of complexity.

Now even she is a little confused, how to get along until now, she is in a trance, more important than Bai Yan himself, is still paying attention to Bai Yan's reputation. If it was in the past, she would wish that Bai Yan would be regarded as a deadly enemy by the world, and everyone would be punished if he got it Of.

This inadvertent change may be due to knowing Bai Yan's identity, or Bai Yan's promise, coupled with the school's affairs, made her regard Bai Yan as the person she needs to rely on most in the future to restore the country, or Bai Yan In the future, Yan will break his promise and kill her, or watch her restore the country and become her general.

Possibly, both! ! !
In short, seeing that Bai Yan's reputation is being continuously spread by those interested scholars, Zhao Qiu is also a little anxious. If she returns to the country, she does not want Bai Yan to be a notorious person in the eyes of the world. people.

Zhao Ren was originally hostile to the Bai family, and Bai Yan's actions were undoubtedly the best excuse for those scholars.

Fortunately, the previous edict was voluntary registration, so those scholars were not given the opportunity to scold even harder and harder.

"Isn't it just to scold me Bai Yan, if scolding Bai Yan makes those people happy, Bai Yan doesn't mind letting them scold."

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he smiled lightly and shook his head.

The school didn't want to expose it, so he couldn't wash away the infamy. Bai Yan didn't take the malicious insults of those scholars to heart at all. After all, this plan was to destroy the foundations of those scholars ten years later. Forget it, compared to his current plan, the cursing of scholars against him is nothing at all.

"Snowing!"

"It's really snowing, it looks like it's going to be heavy!"

"Wow, this snow is probably the biggest snow of last year"

Wooden window.

On the aisle of the gazebo in the distance, several maids who were holding things suddenly started talking in surprise.

The sound spread into the study and reached the ears of Bai Yan and Zhao Qiu, both of them looked out of the window one after another.

Snowing!
Watching the countless snowflakes falling slowly, the first snowfall of this year was unexpectedly so heavy. Looking back on the experience during this period, both of them had mixed feelings.

Zhao Qiu stared at the young man in front of him from the window, and looked at the side face of the young man looking out of the window, another year passed.

Before the Zhao Kingdom fell, she never imagined that she would be here, let alone live under the same roof with this young man, and even helped the Qin general who led the troops to destroy Zhao Kingdom time and time again.

Right now, she doesn't know how many times she can experience this kind of falling snow here, maybe this time, it may be the last time.

"what happened?"

Bai Yan felt something, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Qiu's absent-minded face, and asked softly.

"fine!"

Zhao Qiu shook his head and turned to look out the window.

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Qiu suddenly saw Bai Yan standing up and asked.

Under Zhao Qiu's gaze, Bai Yan pointed to the snowflakes constantly falling outside the window.

"It's snowing, go check it out!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he asked Zhao Qiu if he wanted to be with him, and after seeing Zhao Qiu shook his head, he left the study alone.

The snow fell more and more, and within half an hour, a layer of snow was spread on the grass in the distance. Zhao Qiu, who stayed alone in the study, was roasting the charcoal stove brought by the maid, and quietly looked out the window. When she lived in Handan, she heard from many people that the closer to the north, the earlier and heavier the snowfall.

"Ok?"

Hearing the movement vaguely, Zhao Qiu slowly got up and walked towards the door.

When I came to the door and opened the door, I saw a young man accompanying a girl in the snow-covered yard, and a big snowman piled up in the white yard.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help laughing. Looking at the boy's side face, he vaguely saw the smile. It was the first time she saw the boy so happy.

Looking at the boy with beautiful eyes, Zhao Qiu was a little surprised.

In fact, many times, she couldn't believe that such a seemingly inconspicuous young man was actually a garrison general commanding an army of tens of thousands. There were tens of thousands of Bai's iron cavalry and side cavalry, and they followed without complaint. that boy.

"do not!"

Suddenly, Zhao Qiu saw Bai Yan bent down to pick up a small snowball from the ground after discovering her, as if thinking of something, Zhao Qiu shrank his pupils, but before he could speak, he saw the little snowball flying over.

As the little snowball landed on his body, Zhao Qiu bit his thin lips, and his breathing became a little rapid. With a little anger, he looked at Baoshi in the yard who was grinning from ear to ear, and looked at the snowball that was thrown just now. Bai Yan suppressed his smile, and the next moment, Zhao Qiu came to the yard in two steps and picked up a small snowball from the ground with his slender hands.

At the gate of the general's mansion, a Qin official came hurriedly.

"Following the order of the county guard, come to see the county lieutenant!"

The Qin official said to a famous soldier holding a sword, and then showed the county guard's token.

After the sword-wielding soldier confirmed it was correct, he exchanged glances with the other two soldiers and saw that Qin Li's body was already wet with snowflakes. It was obvious that there was something very important. He nodded and led Qin Li into the mansion.

inside the yard.

With laughter and laughter, Bao Shi and Zhao Qiu gradually held snowballs and kept confronting Bai Yan. In the small white garden, the beautiful scenery was all the more beautiful at this moment because of the appearance of Bao Shi and Zhao Qiu .

But when they saw two officers and soldiers rushing forward with a Qin official, Bao Shi and Zhao Qiu immediately stopped and stood in the yard, looking at the anxious look of the Qin official, not understanding what was going on.

Bai Yan was also a little puzzled.

"Lieutenant, something is wrong. There was a murder case in the city! All the members of the Yue clan were killed, and the bodies of some men were found nearby! The sheriff asked the lieutenant to go over there!"

The official Qin came to Bai Yan and handed over his hands to report.

Bai Yan's expression changed when he heard the Qin official's words, and he looked at the Qin official with a serious expression.

"go!"

Bai Yan immediately realized that there was a change in Yang Jin's place, and someone attacked Yang Jin, but just as Bai Yan was about to leave, the Bao family stopped Bai Yan.

"General, wait!"

Under Bai Yan's gaze, Bao Shi hurriedly walked towards the study, and when he came back, he hugged Zhanlu with both hands.

"Be careful, the murderer is someone from Shanwu City!"

Zhao Qiu also whispered to Bai Yan at this time, there was a flash of worry in her beautiful eyes, it must be from Yueshi, who got the news from somewhere, knowing that Qin Guo seemed to be planning to support Yang Jin, so he sent killers in a hurry.

It is not difficult to guess, after all, in the whole world, only the Yueshi wants to kill Yangjin, and Yangjin is only a threat to the new Yueshi king. Except for the Yueshi, no one would spend so much effort to kill Yangjin .

But on the issue, ever since Yang Jin came to Yanmen Shanwu City, Bai Yan sent people to protect him secretly, and the city gate was strictly guarded. Without the cooperation of the people in the city, it was impossible to know where Yang Jin and others lived, let alone May succeed in killing Yang Jin.

"Ok!"

Bai Yan nodded when he heard Zhao Qiu's words, and then looked at Baoshi holding Zhanlu, looking at himself with worried eyes.

"don’t worry!"

Bai Yan said softly.

After finishing speaking, he followed the Qin official and his cronies, and walked towards the outside of the mansion.

After half an hour.

In an alley in Shanwu City, Bai Yan's carriage stopped slowly.

"General, all the soldiers guarding nearby have been killed!"

A soldier saw Bai Yan get off the carriage, and stepped forward to salute Bai Yan.

In fact, the soldier didn't need to speak, when Bai Yan got out of the carriage, he saw corpses lying neatly beside the alley.

at the moment.

Listening to the words of the soldiers, Bai Yan came to these corpses, and looked at the corpses that were slowly covered by heavy snow, some had been chopped on the face, some had a dark and blood-red scar on their necks, and some, On the rough cloth clothes, there were several bloody wounds.

"Take it to the funeral, go to the treasury, extract the money, send it to their family members, and send a report on their family's situation to the house for me to have a look at."

Bai Yan ordered softly.

"promise!"

When the soldiers beside Bai Yan and other soldiers heard Bai Yan's words, they all bowed their hands and saluted.

Standing on the same spot for a while, Bai Yan looked at the corpses silently without saying a word. After a long time, he turned his eyes to Xiaoyuan who was beside him, and walked slowly.

Heavy snow fell.

The soldiers who just reported behind Bai Yan received Bai Yan's instructions, turned to a soldier and asked him to pull a trailer to take these soldiers to burial.

"Use my Bai Yan's carriage!"

When the voice came, the leader and other soldiers all turned their heads and looked at the back of the man walking towards the small garden. In the silence, when the back disappeared at the wooden gate of the small garden, each of the soldiers came back to their senses and stood in the alley In the middle of the day, let the snowflakes fall on your shoulders.

All the soldiers raised their hands, and bowed to pay respects to the gate of the small garden where there was no one there.

In the small garden.

Just as Bai Yan entered the wooden gate of the small garden, he saw Yang Lao, Mi Jing, and Gan Si bringing many Qin officials in the courtyard. Obviously, this murder case has already alarmed the Qin officials in the whole city, so there are so many Qin officials. Qin officials are in the small garden.

"Sheriff!"

"County Lieutenant!"

A famous Qin official just heard the voices of the officers and soldiers outside, and when he saw Bai Yan, they all raised their hands to salute and get out of the way.

"General!"

When Gan Si saw Bai Yan, she hurriedly made a ceremony to make way for Bai Yan. In front of Gan Si, there were several Yuezhi corpses laid out on the ground. Like the soldiers, they all died less than a day ago.

When Yang Duanhe and Mi Jing saw Bai Yan coming, they also looked at Bai Yan and saluted each other.

However, unlike Mr. Yang, when Mi Jing saw Bai Yan, her eyes were not solemn because of the sudden occurrence of such a major murder.

Bai Yan, Yang Lao, and even the others didn't notice it.

"Old Yang, how is the situation?"

Bai Yan looked at Old Yang and asked softly.

Seeing Bai Yan's pale face without any expression, not to mention Mr. Yang, even Gan Si, they all clearly feel that they love each other. At this moment, Bai Yan's eyes are full of violence.

"It has been preliminarily found out that the murderer should be the Yan family in the city. Among the people who left Shanwu in a carriage today, there were many people in the carriage and the number of carriages was only Yan. At present, Yang Jin's body has not been found here in Xiaoyuan. It should be If he was captured, someone in the Yan family might be greedy for Yang Jin's beauty, so he didn't kill him, but took Yang Jin and escaped from Shanwu."

When Mr. Yang said this, he couldn't help sighing, and looked at the falling snowflakes.

"Although people have been sent to chase after it, it may be difficult to find footprints again!"

Elder Yang frowned. It wasn't long before Xianyang sent the secret letter, telling them to save Yang Jin's life and wait for the opportunity to send it to the Qiang people.

As a result, this is what happened right now.

Now, without mentioning that snow can cover up footprints very well, it is hard to say whether there is anyone outside the city to respond. After all, if Yan Shi dared to do such a thing, he must have already thought of a way out.

"The sheriff has mercy! The sheriff has mercy! We don't dare anymore! The sheriff has mercy!"

"The sheriff! I beg the sheriff to be merciful and let one of us go! We will definitely repay the sheriff's kindness!"

As Lao Yang's voice fell, several Qin officials were escorted to Bai Yan.

Gan Si looked at these people.

"These people have all received benefits from Yan Shi!"

Just as Gan Si finished speaking, she saw those Qin officials shaking their heads with pale faces.

"Junwei! Junwei! We have accepted Yan's benefits, but it is not us who let Yan go and run away with Yan, Junwei Mingcha!"

"Junwei! It's really not us! We dare not participate in this matter, we were also deceived, and we were sent away just today! That's why we didn't have the opportunity to check Yan's carriage!"

A Qin official who was tied up explained tremblingly, his tone was full of sobs of fear, and he looked at Bai Yan with pleading eyes.

The Qin officials in front of Bai Yan looked at the small gardens around him.

"Sheriff! Sheriff! Sure enough, several corpses were found in the Yan family!"

Outside the small garden, several Qin officials hurried in, and then came to Yang Duanhe to report.

As the words of these Qin officials fell, all the Qin officials around looked at each other and shook their heads full of sighs.

"It really is the Yan family!"

"No wonder the sharp blades of these Yuezhi people have blood, but they can't see the corpses! Sure enough, they were all taken away and hidden."

"Yes! I had a hunch just now that some of the murderers must have been injured or even died, and I told others!"

One by one of the Qin officials discussed in a low voice, as if they had a premonition long ago. After seeing this person nodding and believing, they said to the people on the other side that they seemed to want more people to know that when they first came to the murder scene, , I have already judged many things based on experience, guessed more than others, and noticed many details that no one else noticed.

in the noisy discussion.

As things seemed to settle down, the tranquility of Xiaoyuan was replaced by more and more noise.

"General Bai, Yan Shi has already escaped from Shanwu. Although it is covered by heavy snow, he may not be able to go very far. Elder Yang has ordered people to write letters to people in other counties. Right now, I would like to ask General Bai to issue an order to prevent Yan Shi from fleeing north as soon as possible. To the Xiongnu, or Daidi."

Mi Jing looked around at this time, frowned, but said nothing, but came to Bai Yan's side and said to Bai Yan.

As the censor at this time, Mi Jing looked at Bai Yan, such a major murder happened, and there was a secret order in Xianyang, but Yang Lao and Bai Yan did not complete what Xianyang ordered, so he had a lot to say in the censor right.

After all, as long as he is willing, he can completely report this matter to Xianyang. When the doctor Yushi tells this matter in Xianyang Chaotang, the specific situation can be judged by looking at his bamboo slips. You know, Elder Yang and Bai Yan have completely dereliction of duty in handling the matter of Yang Jin.

But any normal person, at this juncture, would never dare to disobey the words of his censor, especially Bai Yan has offended so many people, and there are many ministers in the court of Qin State, who are looking for opportunities and admonishing Bai Yan .

"Indeed, the top priority right now is to block the road to the north and the pass leading to Daidi."

When Old Yang heard Mi Jing's words, he glanced at Mi Jing, nodded slowly, and agreed with Bai Yan.

In the small garden.

Just when Old Yang and Mi Jing thought that Bai Yan would nod and give the order, all Qin officials including Gan Si and others also thought so.

Standing where he was, Bai Yan, who had been looking at the yard, shook his head slightly, and said.

"Yang Jin must still be in the city!"
