The wisdom is against the sky: people in Daqin, the maid Shao Siming

Ying Chen pretended not to know what was happening outside the door and casually shouted, "Who?"

"What do you want from me?"

The waiter outside the door took out a letter from his arms, and then whispered to Ying Chen inside the door: "Sir, open the door, I forgot to tell you something."

With Ying Chen's strength, he is not afraid of any small moves made by the ordinary person in front of him.

Therefore, Ying Chen opened the door directly, but he was still a little wary in his heart.

After opening the door, the waiter directly handed the envelope he took out from his arms to Ying Chen with both hands.

Randomly said respectfully: "Mr. Yingchen, a guest just asked me to deliver this letter to you."

"Oh, what does that guest look like?"

Hearing Ying Chen's question, the waiter scratched his head and was suddenly a little surprised.

"I just saw him, how come I can't remember what he looks like? This is weird."

Ying Chen could tell from the waiter's expression that he really didn't seem to know what the man looked like.

"Is this state a spell of bewitching?"

"If that's the case, then this waiter is of no use to me."

Thinking of this, Ying Chen waved his hand and said, "You can go down."

"Yes, my lord."

The waiter turned around and left Ying Chen's room, and considerately closed the door.

Ying Chen wrapped his hands with his inner strength, and after making sure that there was no poison in the letter, he opened the envelope while muttering to himself.

"Since you are here to deliver a letter, you must have a purpose. What does the Xuanyuan Family want to talk to me about?"

While thinking, Ying Chen had already opened the letter in his hand and started to read it.

But just one glance was enough to make Ying Chen extremely surprised.

He didn't expect that things would turn out the opposite of what he expected.

The one who contacted me was not the Xuanyuan family at all!

Chapter 125: Zhang Julu, the Prime Minister of Liyang, has spiritual power that can make fishes sink to the depths and geese fall to the ground?

Ying Chen's expression was strange.

He didn't expect that the person who wrote to him was not what he expected, but the Xuanyuan family.

Rather, it was a being he had never seen before, but whose name he had heard of.

The Prime Minister of Liyang, Zhang Julu!

Ying Chen has a deep memory of Zhang Julu.

He came from a poor family, but because of his talent he became a disciple of the then Prime Minister of Liyang.

During this period, Zhang Julu had many opportunities for promotion, but they were all rejected by the old prime minister.

He even ignored the opportunity to be sent to serve as a provincial governor.

As a result, Zhang Julu stayed in the position of Huangmen Shilang for a full thirty years.

Or maybe it was the teacher's instruction.

As a junior eunuch, Zhang Julu chose to just listen and not say anything, and watched the entire court situation coldly.

But genius can never hide its brilliance.

Later, Zhang Julu was promoted eleven levels in two years and became the new prime minister.

pity.

He clearly spent thirty years polishing a piece of jade, and the result was worthy of the world, but not of his own son.

It is really miserable to be the son of Zhang Julu.

Zhang Julu's eldest son was impeached for embezzling good farmland.

The second son was reported for cheating in the imperial examination.

And these are indeed not deliberately fabricated, nor are they groundless.

It was probably the eighth year of Yonghui.

Zhang Julu bought 300 acres of fertile land in the name of his eldest son, but his means were not honorable.

But the eldest son never knew about this.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case that every time the eldest daughter-in-law comes home, she wears exactly the same, fairly valuable clothes.

When the second son took the imperial examination, the chief examiner was a disciple of Zhang Julu.

Otherwise, his second son would definitely not be able to pass the exam with his level.

Of course, the second son had no doubts, because he was only sixth in Yaqiu and was not considered that outstanding.

If that's the case, then so be it.

Zhang Julu knew very well that the Emperor of Liyang was very suspicious and did not trust him, so he had long intended to throw away his bow and throw away his rabbit after it was dead.

Even his youngest son reminded him to flee.

pity.

Zhang Julu was determined to use his life to intimidate the poor people in the world and make them understand that even if they are in high positions, they should not be corrupt.

Therefore, he did not escape, and the final result was that he and his entire clan were executed by Liyang Emperor Zhao Dun.

Poor Zhang Julu's other three sons, they did nothing wrong, but their reputations were damaged and they were even implicated because of their father.

Think of this.

At this time, Ying Chen really wanted to meet the Prime Minister of Liyang.

This Prime Minister was willing to defile himself and even risk the lives of his nine clansmen to intimidate the poor scholars of the world and to ask Emperor Liyang to feel at ease.

Ying Chen wanted to ask, "Does this loyalty have to be to Li Yang?"

.........

......

...

But although I want to meet Zhang Julu.

But Ying Chen still didn't understand.

There is no connection between him and Zhang Julu.

So why would Zhang Julu suddenly write a letter to himself?

Thinking of this, Ying Chen continued to lower his head and look downward.

There was not much content in the letter, so Ying Chen only took a few glances at it and roughly understood the meaning of the letter.

As Ying Chen finished reading the letter, he gently squeezed it, and the letter in his hand instantly turned into ashes and disappeared completely.

At the same time, Ying Chen's lips curled up into an interested smile.

"It's really interesting that the Prime Minister of Liyang wants to host a banquet for me, the third son of the enemy country."

Ying Chen was very curious about why Zhang Julu wanted to see him.

If it were an ordinary Liyang official, he would host a banquet for a sensitive person like himself at this sensitive time.

Ying Chen would most likely think that he was going to defect to Liyang and pledge allegiance to the Qin Dynasty.

But Zhang Julu is different.

Ying Chen didn't think that Zhang Julu was going to betray Li Yang and be loyal to him.

After all, it is extremely difficult to ask Prime Minister Zhang, who is willing to sacrifice the lives of his nine clans to please the emperor, to betray Li Yang.

"Since you are not going to betray Li Yang, then the Emperor of Li Yang wants to see me for something, but because of his status, he cannot come forward directly?"

Ying Chen thought about it for a while and soon thought of this possibility.

After all, with Zhang Julu's identity, Ying Chen couldn't think of anyone else who could ask him to come out to see him except the Emperor Zhao Dun of Liyang.

and.

Although Zhang Julu was the Prime Minister, he came from a humble family and was not well-received by the aristocratic families of the world.

This also means that Zhang Julu has limited energy to mobilize.

And his whereabouts are absolutely of top priority to the Liyang Empire, and it is definitely impossible for anyone who is not directly under the emperor's personal guards to detect them.

That said.

Given Zhao Julu's identity, the fact that he knew in advance that he would be at Shuhui Mountain meant that he could almost be completely certain that Zhao Dun wanted to see him.

"It seems like tonight will be interesting. I'm really curious about why Zhao Dun came to see me."

"Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?"

Ying Chen chuckled and immediately put this possibility behind him.

After all, this is Huishan, not Tai'an City.

Moreover, when he came to Huishan, he hardly told anyone and rode on horseback at full speed all the way.

Therefore, even the Liyang Emperor Zhao Dun would not have enough time to set up an ambush in Huishan in advance.

Therefore, Ying Chen decided to go to the banquet tonight to meet the Prime Minister of Liyang, Zhang Julu.

.........

......

...

But the first priority now is not to meet Zhang Julu.

Therefore, Ying Chen stood up and walked towards the door.

And when Ying Chen went out, he passed by the waiter to whom he had just delivered the letter.

The waiter looked as usual, as if he had never delivered any letter to Ying Chen.

This made Ying Chen even more certain that he had just been controlled by a spell similar to the bewitching spell.

This made Ying Chen even more curious, and at the same time he was looking forward to Zhang Julu going to so much trouble to find him. What on earth did he want to tell him?

However, Ying Chen was not too worried. After all, he would know everything after meeting Zhang Julu tonight.

Therefore, he continued walking towards the inn lobby.

And when Ying Chen came to the hall.

At this time, Xu Fengnian, Li Chungang and Lao Huang seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

When he saw Ying Chen, Xu Fengnian hurriedly shouted to the waiter, "Waiter, bring the good wine and meat I just ordered. I'm starving."

"Okay, customer, please wait a moment, I'll serve it to you right away."

The waiter responded from a distance and then went to the kitchen to busy himself.

And Xu Fengnian looked at Ying Chen at this time.

"Brother-in-law, what were you doing in the room just now? Why did you take so long to come out?"

But before Ying Chen could answer.

Xu Fengnian seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly spoke again.

"By the way, brother-in-law, there is something I forgot to tell you."

Ying Chen sat leisurely opposite Xu Fengnian and looked at him curiously.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Xu Fengnian coughed and said, "It has something to do with the two girls, Black and White, that my brother-in-law is looking for."

"I just took the initiative to send a spy to inform the two sisters that my brother-in-law is waiting for them in Huishan."

"Therefore, they are estimated to have accelerated their journey and will be able to reach Huishan and meet their brother-in-law tomorrow night at the latest."
