When Zhang Yue returned to the county guard's house, he called Wei Xi, the county lieutenant, over and gave him these instructions.
Wei Xi hesitated slightly after hearing this.
Zhang Li frowned when he saw that he didn't move. Wei Xi has been with him for more than ten years, and she knows what he wants as soon as she sticks her butt out.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say, what's wrong with mother-in-law and mother-in-law!"
Wei Xi hesitated and said: "Sir, why should we help that Zhang Liang? Since he came to Jiangnan, Jiangnan has developed well, but it has also damaged your prestige invisibly. I heard some rumors a few days ago, saying that Kuaiji is what it is today, all thanks to Zhang Liang. Listen to this, where does it put you?"
Zhang Yue heard this and kicked him. Wei Xi seemed to be used to it and kicked him without hiding.
"Don't talk nonsense in the future!"
Seeing Wei Xi's well-developed limbs and simple mind, Zhang Yue couldn't get angry.
"You, you, when will you grow up! I am helping Zhang Liang, but it is my old enemy Feng Tuo who is getting rid of me. Do you think I don't know about the scandals about Feng Tuo that Zhang Liang told me? I'm just waiting for someone. Someone has to uproot Feng Tuo for me. Now that the opportunity has come, do you think I can let Feng Tuo kill Zhang Liang? Besides, Zhang Liang is deeply trusted by your majesty, how can I let him die on my side? place."
Wei Xiqi asked: "Since you know about Feng Tuo's scandal, why don't you report it directly to His Majesty?"
Zhang Yue snorted coldly: "Your Majesty has just been on the throne for three years, and there have been many rebellions in the Qin Dynasty. Although I, Zhang Yue, am not someone who can die for your Majesty, my loyalty to the Qin Dynasty cannot be tolerated by the scar in my chest that almost disembowelled me. Doubtful. Therefore, I don’t want to let the affairs of Changsha County distract His Majesty. It’s just a matter of killing some Guizhou leaders. It’s not a big deal.”
"As for why the emperor didn't report it when he was still alive, it's even simpler. That Fengtuo won awards from the emperor every year by relying on conspiracy and tricks. You tell me, if I expose this matter, where will the emperor's face be? What should I do? Doing something that doesn’t please the emperor or even holds a grudge?”
Wei Xi suddenly understood and nodded heavily.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Zhang Yue sighed softly: "It's not me who is wise, it's the swords and shadows in the court that taught me the truth. Do you think the swords and swords in the court are used to describe the war of words? When it comes to me, it's a real sword!"
"Okay, hurry up and do it, don't be an eyesore to me."
Wei Xi chuckled and took the order to go out.
Xianyang City, inside the Sihai Palace.
Li Si returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to settle the disaster relief matters, and then went to the Sihai Palace to wait for news from Meng Yi.
I also doubted myself, whether I was too confident. If Feng Tuo is as ruthless as Liu Bang, then it seems not impossible to abandon his son to rebel.
Li Si saw that I had been thinking, so he decided to interrupt me.
"His Majesty?"
I came back to my senses and glanced at him: "What did Prime Minister Feng say?"
Li Si bowed and said: "I have a worry, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
I returned to the top position and sat down, reaching out my hand to motion for him to sit down as well.
"But there's no harm in talking."
After Li Si sat down, he frowned slightly and said, "I am worried that Zhang Liang will be in danger."
When I heard Li Si's words, I was startled and reacted immediately.
Careless!
I only thought about whether something would happen to Changsha County, but I forgot whether Zhang Liang would be in danger. Since Feng Tuo sent someone to intercept the report, he will definitely attack Zhang Liang while ensuring that the report does not reach my hands! This report can be intercepted, but as long as Zhang Liang is still alive, sooner or later this matter will be revealed to me.
"Qi Wan, immediately send someone to look for Zhang Liang in Kuaiji County, and order the county guard to ensure Zhang Liang's safety! If he is not in Kuaiji County, then go to all the counties in the south of the Yangtze River to look for him!"
Qi Wan bowed and said: "Yes!"
Three days later, Wuxian City Gate.
A middle-aged man carrying firewood was lining up to enter the city.
Seeing the guard turning over and over to check his dry firewood, the man flattered him in Wu dialect: "Sir, these are just dry firewood, I don't hide anything."
The guard snorted coldly: "It's up to you whether to hide something or not!"
The man showed an honest smile.
"How about I open the dry firewood for you, sir, so you can take a closer look?"
Seeing that he was just an ordinary farmer, the guard stopped what he was doing and said impatiently: "Let's go! Don't block the way! If they are scattered all over the place, our brothers will be in trouble!"
The man chuckled and said, "Thank you, Sir," as he walked into the city.
When they got to Fang City, they found a remote corner and the man took out a cloth bag from the firewood. After opening the bag, he put half a bag of soil in, carried it on his back, turned around, and walked out of Fangshi and into the city.
As he approached the pedestrian office, the man gradually realized that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that with the way he is dressed, there will definitely be patrolling soldiers questioning him. Buying and selling things must be done in the market. Trading outside is against the laws of Qin. He is obviously carrying a grain bag, so why does no one come to question him?
This man is Xin Ge!
When Xin Gong was confused, two guards came towards him.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Xingu immediately bent down and said with a smile: "Sir, I'm here to deliver something to the pedestrian crossing in front."
The guard asked in confusion: "Send something? What gift?"
Xin Gou pretended to open the bag and said, "It's the gentleman from the pedestrian office. I saw the villain's corn was quite good outside the city that day, so he ordered the villain to send some over today."
The guard waved his hand upon seeing this.
"In that case, send it as soon as possible. Don't keep Mr. Zhang waiting."
Xinguo stopped what he was doing. He had already found out where Zhang Liang lived. In order to pretend to be more like a farmer who had never been to the city, he deliberately asked: "Thank you, sir. I wonder if the pedestrian crossing is here?"
The guard pointed behind him.
"It's right in front. There are guards at the door."
Then they continued to patrol forward.
One of them said: "It's so comfortable to be under Mr. Zhang's hands. He actually asked the brothers at the pedestrian station to rest for two days."
Another person responded: "Yeah, how could we brothers have such a chance? I heard Zhang San said so I left two people at the door. The others all went home and hugged their wives and children to warm up on the kang."
XinGou lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
'Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang, it's your time to die! Originally, I wanted you to live for two more days and wait for news from your elder brother before taking action. With such a good opportunity now, wouldn’t it be against God’s will if we didn’t take action? '
Thinking like this, Xin Gou had already turned a deaf ear to Feng Tuo's words and slowly walked towards the pedestrian crossing.
When I arrived at the pedestrian area, I looked up and saw only two bored guards chatting at the door.
"Alas, all the other brothers have taken a break, but the two of us are left here."
"Yes. But when the other brothers come back in two days, we can rest for a few days."
Suddenly one of them saw the letter standing at the door and immediately became alert.
"Whoever is not allowed to stay here!"
Xin Gou looked up and showed that silly smile again: "Sir, it was Master Zhang who asked me to send some corn over."
The guard frowned: "Corn? You wait here first, I will report to Mr. Zhang."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the courtyard.
XinGou walked forward slowly, smiled at the other guard and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
The guard looked at him as a peasant, and was about to speak when he saw Xin Gou suddenly let go of the bag, pulled out a sharp sword in his right hand, and swung the sword to slash at the guard.
