Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 41

"It's just that how to deliver this bribe, and how to let Hou Sheng know about it after delivery, still needs to be discussed." Ziying said.

"It's not difficult for Hou Sheng to know about this matter. Previously, I had many contacts with Hou Sheng, and his mansion also had my eyeliner. Hou Sheng can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Handan City, and every mansion has his spies. In the mansion of Lord Anping, it is even more so. The eyeliner is densely covered, and with just a little flick, Hou Sheng can find out who Zhao Rensong and An Pingjun are.

However, my subordinates are all from Qin, and there is a big difference between Qin Yin and Zhao Yin.How to make Mr. Anping and Hou Sheng's eyeliner believe that this gift was given by the Zhao people, there is no good plan for now. " Yao Jia said honestly.

After hearing this, Ziying laughed and said, "It's not difficult. Mr. Yao doesn't know that the four guards are not only born and bred in Zhao, but also soldiers who guarded the three northern counties of Zhao State. My maid Xia Ke Previously, it belonged to Zhao Gong's 'Heiyiwei'.

With a 'black-clothed guard' leading four Zhao Jun to give gifts, Mr. Anping and Housheng's eyeliner couldn't believe it. "

Yao Jia glanced at Xia Ke, who was waiting at the side, with a look of embarrassment on his face. "In this way, I can win the trust of Lord Anping, but..."

Seeing Yao Jia's actions, Ziying knew what Yao Jia was worried about, and said immediately: "Didn't Mr. Yao hear that when Zhao Guo was alive and dying, Sima Shang who was stationed in Raoyang did not come to his aid?"

When Ziying said this, Yao Jia immediately understood.In his opinion, it must be that Sima Shang saw the strength of the Qin army, and he was Ziying's grandfather-in-law. After knowing the reason for the settlement, he had secretly surrendered to Qin. These people should be the original Sima Shang. Since Sima Shang has surrendered, the position of these people is trustworthy.

"Then everything will be according to Rao Yangjun's words, and Yao will go back and arrange it!" Yao Jia said while sitting on his knees by the table, standing up and bowing to Ziying.

In the evening of the next day, although the pedestrians on the street had not cleared away, there were very few of them.In a small alley behind the post house where the Zhao Guo envoy lived, a team of five people flashed out, led by a man in black, and the four people behind were carrying a huge wooden box. The gradually diffuse night quickly moved towards the Anping Monarch's Mansion.

"I'm under the command of Zhao envoy Peng Sheng. I was ordered to send some specialties of Zhao to Mr. Anping. Please tell me." It was the leader Xia Ke who spoke. The identity token was handed over along with the invitation letter, and the butler of the Jun Mansion who came after hearing the knock on the door, of course, did not forget to put an extra bag of coins in his hand.

"Your envoy later, I'll go in and report." The man weighed the coins in his hand, and the one outside the door came to give gifts to Lord Anping again, so he didn't dare to delay and trot all the way to the inner courtyard.

At this time, only Xia Ke and five guards were left in front of the gate of Anping Jun Mansion.

"Brother Jiang, you said that we will send two thousand gold directly to Mr. Anping this time. Qi must have sent troops this time. It is too embarrassing for the old man Housheng. We gave him so much and just took the money. Nothing to do!" Bai Ping, one of the four guards, followed Ziying's instructions, and said casually in front of the guards of the Junfu.

"Be careful!" Li Ma Xia Ke stared at Bai Ping and said sternly.

After speaking, he took a sneak look at several guards. When they heard the astronomical figure of two thousand gold, several guards were obviously surprised, but one of them was obviously surprised with a hint of joy.

Regardless of whether he is one of Housheng's insiders or not, with so many big mouths hearing about it, they don't worry that Housheng won't be able to find out.

The goal has been achieved, Xia Ke took people to wait quietly outside the gate of Anping Jun's mansion.

After a while, the butler who just went in and informed came out to welcome him.

"All honored envoys, please follow me, Lord Anping is already waiting in the hall!" After saying that, he led Xia Ke and others all the way ahead to enter Lord Anping's mansion.

"Let's talk, what's the purpose of envoy Zhao sending you here?" Mr. Anping asked, a middle-aged man with a big belly, kneeling in front of the table in the main hall while playing with the token that Xia Ke had just presented.From time to time, his eyes sneaked a few glances at the big box that several people carried in.

"I heard that His Royal Highness Anping is fond of Zhao's special products. He happened to bring some when he came from Handan, and gave it to His Royal Highness Anping. Bring the things to His Highness Anping," Xia Ke said.

After hearing this, Mr. Anping squinted his eyes, and said contemptuously: "I don't have anything in Daqi, the vast land and rich resources. How can Gu be so rare about your special products. Take it back and tell..." Before he finished speaking, the peripheral vision in the corner of Mr. Anping's eyes seemed to be caught. Something shook.

Turning around, it turned out that Xia Ke and the others had lifted the lid of the box, revealing a brilliant golden light.

"This is a little sincerity from my country Zhao, and I hope His Highness Anping Jun will say a few good words in front of King Qi."

"Good to say, good to say..."

It was night, in the mansion of the Prime Minister of the State of Qi.

Hou Sheng was called out from the woman by the housekeeper.

It turned out that the guard that Xia Ke noticed before was indeed one of Hou Sheng's eyeliners.After changing shifts that night, he couldn't wait and rushed to Housheng's mansion to report this "big news".

Come back tomorrow, maybe someone else will be one step ahead of me when they find out, this reward...

"Do you know that if what you bring is just some insignificant news, and you come so late and disturb the old man's sleep, do you know the consequences?" Hou Sheng was obviously a little unhappy after being interrupted.

"Master Xiangguo, if it's a trivial matter, how dare the grassroots disturb you late at night." The guard said: "Tonight, Xiaomin found out a big news. The envoy of Zhao Guo sent someone to send two thousand gold to Mr. Anping in one go. I heard that Xiaomin dare not hide this matter and report it to Xiangguo as soon as possible."

"What, tell me in detail!" Hearing that money was involved here, Hou Sheng immediately paid attention.

The guard didn't dare to hide anything, so he immediately told Hou Sheng what happened in the evening.

After listening to the guard's words, Hou Sheng's face turned ashen, and even his breath was a little short, and he punched the pillar in the hall. "The envoy Zhao is too deceitful! He only gave this old man a thousand pieces of gold. What is he, Lord Anping, who is twice as much as this old man? I'm so angry!"

The guard was extremely angry when he saw Hou Sheng, and took two steps back in horror.

At this time, another person in the house, Hou Sheng's confidant, who was also a nephew of Hou Sheng's family, said: "Xiangguo, there is something strange at this time, the envoy of Zhao Guo should not be so short-sighted, only It would be a bit hasty to draw conclusions based on one side of the story. How about sending a message to other people in Lord Anping’s Mansion to inquire about the truth and make a decision tomorrow.”

Hou Sheng let out a long breath, calmed down his emotions and said, "Go and arrange it!" Then he turned to look at the guard who reported the news and said, "Take him down first, if the news is false, then there is no need for him to live. Yes. If it is true, I will reward him with ten knives,...not five knives is enough, don’t take more.”

"promise!"
