The expression on Young Master Su's face changed slightly, and he was secretly frightened, thinking that he might have said the wrong thing again. No matter how powerful Xu Fu is, he is still a minister of the Qin Empire.
Is it possible to ask for help from myself?
If it really happened like that, I might not be able to clean myself out even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
Thinking of this, he could only clasp his hands and smile bitterly and said: "There is no one in the world but the king. Xu Fu was afraid that he would not be able to survive, so he had to call his father for help."
"Oh!" King Qin frowned and said, "How do you plan to handle this matter?"
Xu Fu's memorial has been turned into ashes. At present, only the father and son know about the entire imperial city. Even the general from Dongjun who came to deliver the message may also leave the imperial city tomorrow.
For King Qin, he had plenty of time to play cat and mouse with his ministers.
Young Master Su was speechless for a long time as he looked at the memorial that turned into ashes. He secretly thought that before Xu Fu returned to the court, only two of them would know clearly about this matter.
It seemed that he had really cleared away the suspicion in his father's mind.
Otherwise, he would not have come forward to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.
Young Master Su thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I want one more person to participate in this matter, because he is the only one who can contact the Forbidden Army and intimidate the ministers in the court."
King Qin seemed to have expected that Young Master Su would make such a request, and laughed: "Who?"
"General Meng Yi." Young Master Su clasped his hands and said, "I believe he will not be involved in this matter, otherwise he would not have risked his life to protect my father on his eastward patrol."
King Qin nodded thoughtfully and said, "Don't avoid suspicion. Let Meng Yi investigate this matter with you. If you find out the reason, don't make it public yet. Bring the man behind it to see me."
Young Master Su was slightly startled, wondering if it was possible that his father already had someone who was suspicious of him?
However, even so, he still did not dare to ask any more questions.
Since this matter fell on him and General Meng Yi, the two of them had no choice but to work hard to find the person behind the scenes.
At least before his father saw him, he couldn't let this person die in his own hands.
Thinking of this, Young Master Su continued: "Father, don't worry, as long as he is still there, my son and General Meng will be able to find him, and then secretly bring him to see my father."
The cold-faced King Qin finally showed some smile.
Pointing to the hot tea whistling on the stove, Young Master Su quickly stepped forward to refill it for him.
King Qin said: "You can also pour me a drink, drink with me, and chat for a while. This matter is a hot potato. I don't believe anyone but you."
Young Master Su finally relaxed after hearing this, and took the teapot and poured himself half a cup.
King Qin pointed to the chair in front of him and said: "There are no outsiders here. Let's sit and chat for a while. I am not a tiger."
Young Master Su sat half-assed on the chair, held half a cup of scalding hot tea and blew gently. When he was about to take a sip, he accidentally burned his lips.
It hurt so much that he had to frown.
When King Qin saw it, he sighed and said: "You are too anxious to drink this hot tea. Are you brainless? Are you like that guy who can't wait to jump out?"
Young Master Su smiled lightly and said, "I went out in a hurry, and I entered the palace before I even drank the brewed tea."
"The sky hasn't fallen, so why are you so anxious? You won't enter the palace after drinking?"
King Qin looked at his prince quietly and said after a while: "Xu Fu was ambushed by the imperial army disguised as bandits. If they knew that the memorial had been delivered to me..."
"I don't know how many people will jump with anxiety, let alone how many people will be unable to sleep. You have to learn to make the enemy anxious, not that you are more anxious than them."
Young Master Su fell silent for a moment, holding a cup of tea in a daze and speechless.
"It's just like fishing."
King Qin said coldly: "Why do the fish take the bait? Because they are afraid that the bait I throw will be eaten by their companions, so even if they know there is danger, they can't help but take a bite."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Su nodded thoughtfully and replied, "What my father said makes sense, it is true."
"This time, I'm going to make them hurt so much that it hurts to the core of their bones, so much that they can't stand up for the rest of their lives."
"I won't give you a time limit for this matter. You and General Meng will slowly investigate and find out the person behind this. I can't let the traitorous people in the imperial city's ministers be found."
After taking a sip of tea, King Qin continued: "Tell General Meng not to let the entire Forbidden Army sleep poorly. After all, they are also under orders from someone."
"My son, take your orders."
Young Master Su stood up, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, clasped his hands and said, "I will go to General Meng to discuss this before the news gets out."
Waving his hand, King Qin said calmly: "Go ahead and talk to your teacher more when you have nothing to do. He will understand more things."
…
Before the time of You, it was in the mansion of Young Master Su.
After receiving the news, General Meng rushed over quickly, because he didn't know what happened, so that at this hour, Young Master Su was still looking for him.
Looking at Master Su making tea with his hands, Meng Yi, who hurried over, took a breath and controlled his expression.
He smiled while sitting at the table, which was also the expression that Young Master Su liked.
In his opinion, his General Meng was not as heavy as facing his father. The two of them were more like good brothers who could talk about anything.
The relationship between the two is as warm as the spring breeze. One of them has very rare strength, otherwise he would not be able to become a general without being suspected by the King of Qin.
One is the master's proud disciple, gentle in temperament, well-informed and able to respect soldiers like Meng Yi.
To a certain extent, the two of them can be considered sympathetic to each other.
Young Master Su did not rush to tell the story, but quietly cooked a pot of tea and filled their cups.
It wasn't until the two of them drank a cup of tea that they sighed softly and said, "I just came back from the palace and encountered a troublesome matter. The general has to face it with me."
"What makes you so anxious?"
Meng Yi put down the teacup, frowned and asked, "Is it possible that the king is in trouble and needs our services, so he can directly send me to the palace?"
Logically speaking, if the King of Qin has something to do, he should directly announce the general's entry into the palace.
Young Master Su shook his head, frowned, and said quietly: "Only my father and I are involved in this matter. Now you know more. You can't tell anyone until the truth is found out."
After all, the general is related to the safety of the entire imperial city in some aspects. Even the King of Qin is not willing to use the general to investigate the matter easily.
If it weren't for Young Master Su's relationship, this matter would have remained a mystery in the end.
Fortunately, there were only two of them at the moment, and the maid had already been taken away by Young Master Su Cha, so the two of them could safely discuss all the troubles they would face face to face.
Meng Yi frowned when he heard this. If you put it this way, this is probably not a trivial matter, otherwise there would be no need to hide it from the ministers in the court.
After all, including myself, only three people know about it now.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask: "What happened? What do you think, Your Majesty? Is the Imperial City in danger? What do you want me to do?"
Young Master Su's smile gradually faded, and he sighed and said: "My father sent Xu Fu to the East China Sea... he was assassinated not long after he left. A few days ago, the imperial army and Qin Tao were even dispatched..."
It only took a moment for Prince Su to explain the contents of Xu Fu's memorial.
In his words, if it were him, he might even have the intention to kill people. After all, Xu Fu represents the emperor.
Meng Yi was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally understood what Mr. Su meant. If something happened to the Forbidden Army, he, the general, might have something to do with it.
Young Master Su smiled and said, "Don't take it to heart. If my father is suspicious of you, he will never let you come with me to investigate this matter."
Meng Yi sighed and said with a wry smile: "This is exactly the truth. I am just sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky. This is all
What kind of nonsense, who has the courage to mobilize the imperial army privately? "
After thinking for a while, he said, "If it were anyone else, I'd probably first suspect that His Highness is following me."
"Except for my father and General Meng, no one in the Imperial City's imperial army can stretch out a black hand... So many people died this time, so Xu Fu asked the Dongjun garrison to send two cartloads of heads and Qin Tao..."
Prince Su's expression became increasingly serious and he said, "My father said that these heads were only part of Qin's. Some of them were burned with fire. Qin's Xu Fu took some of them to arm his guards."
"My father also acquiesced to Xu Fu's approach. After all, they also want to save their lives. Although our Great Qin is powerful, the remnants of the six kingdoms are still alive. If we are not careful, we will fall into a precarious situation."
After sighing, Young Master Su picked up the cup and took a sip, and then said: "We will investigate your father's intention secretly, so don't alert the enemy first."
When Meng Yi heard this, he finally understood the seriousness of the matter.
Being able to mobilize the imperial army and requisition Qin Yi was no small matter. If he didn't do it, he would be killed, and the three clans would be punished. He really couldn't imagine who had such great ability and courage?
With a slightly stern look on his face, he was naturally grateful for King Qin's trust in him and Young Master Su's recommendation, so that he would have a chance to clear himself of suspicion.
Looking down at a piece of tea leaf floating in the cup, he couldn't help but murmured: "Who in the imperial city has such great power? The left prime minister will definitely not do it..."
Young Master Su nodded and said, "Of course the Left Prime Minister won't do it. He doesn't have the guts either."
Meng Yi added: "If we make a bold analysis of this matter, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion. If neither the general nor the young master is behind this, then who can get the greatest benefit if something happens to Xu Fu?"
Thinking of this, even General Meng himself was so frightened that he could not speak.
Looking at Young Master Su, he put down the teacup with one hand, stroked his forehead with the other, and murmured to himself: "Could it be that... the general would not dare to say these words without evidence?"
Meng Yi, who was fully supported by Young Master Su, although he was Young Master Su's confidant, even he was shocked when he thought of the seriousness of this matter.
He was even thinking, let’s see who is unlucky this time and will bear the blame for the whole family’s life?
Fortunately, he had no dissatisfaction with either King Qin or Young Master Su. Otherwise, even if the matter had nothing to do with him, he would inevitably take the blame for someone and die inexplicably.
He sighed and said quietly: "As expected, only the young master and the general can investigate this matter carefully and secretly. If it had been anyone else, I would have been so frightened that they fled overnight."
Young Master Su said with a worried look on his face: "Now that this matter involves my father, you and I can't ignore it. I wonder what the general's plans are for this? How do you plan to investigate it?"
The Imperial City's imperial army not only guards a piece of land at the feet of the world, but also possesses the most sophisticated weapons in the world and shoulders the important task of protecting the Imperial City and the King of Qin.
I never expected that something like this would happen at this time, and no one could understand it.
Young Master Su sighed and said leisurely: "Don't blame Xu Fu for this matter. After all, there is irrefutable evidence for this matter. Not to mention the heads loaded in two carriages, you must know that Qin and Tao are all numbered..."
No matter which minister in the court, they cannot ignore or bypass General Meng in front of Young Master Su. Even he does not know something, which can only explain one important thing.
It seems to the two of them that the truth of this matter is already coming out, and they just need to find more evidence now.
Then hand the people and evidence to King Qin in the palace for him to handle.
