After the killer left, the guards and Wang Ben got up from the ground.
"Change!" the guard captain shouted.
When Wang Ben was about to change his clothes, he was stopped by the guard captain.
"Young Master, you don't need to change your clothes," the guard captain said.
Wang Ben immediately understood and said, "Insert these feather arrows into their corpses and leave two for me."
"No!" said the guard captain.
Wang Ben looked at the feather arrow that was handed over and stabbed it into his shoulder and thigh. Blood immediately flowed out. Wang Ben grabbed the blood mud and touched it on his body. By now he had understood the relationship between his father and Ziyou. According to the arrangement, he personally escorted the important mission back to Xianyang with his bodyguards. He was attacked on the way and the entire bodyguard was wiped out. He was also seriously injured and fought to his death to save his life.
As far as the king is concerned, the Wang family is the hero who almost killed the future head of the family. As for the enemy, they almost wiped out the Wang family. Naturally, they dare not take action against the Wang family again, otherwise it will be a situation of endless death. The Wang family has succeeded from this time. Picked out of the quagmire.
Looking at the guards who had changed their clothes, Wang Ben looked at the guard captain and said
"bring it on."
"Young Master, hold it back!" the guard captain nodded and said.
At this time, in a certain house in Beidi County, when the people were still suffering from the locust plague, the table in the house was covered with fresh meat and delicacies, and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were randomly thrown on the table. People were holding beautiful dancing girls in their hands. The dancers' faces were full of fear and confusion. They were all sold by their parents because of the locust plague and were brought to this house. They didn't know what they would face in the future.
"Hahaha, you lose, the money in Lijiazhuang is mine." A middle-aged man played with the dancer in his arms and said to the man opposite.
"Hahaha, Master Chen is so lucky. I will give up the sacrifice of Li Family Village." The man opposite didn't get angry and laughed, "These are just small coins. When Lord Chang'an asks for credit for us, it will be a big gain!" "
"Yes, please take credit." The people around them laughed immediately. They were not just making money. While making money, they also sent their servants to eliminate locusts in the farmland, and also donated a lot of money to Lord Chang'an. Food is used to win favor. As for what Cheng Xi has to do is to ask for credit for these people, the worst will be rewarded, and what the reward is, it goes without saying that it is a title. Qin has twenty levels of titles.
The next day, early in the morning, the entrance to Xianyang City had just opened, and a young man covered in blood and scars was discovered by the defenders. Then a shocking news shocked the entire Xianyang hierarchy. The young man of the Wang family, who was ordered to assist Mr. Ziyou in controlling the locust plague, On the road, Wang Ben was escorting a top secret officer and was attacked and almost died. His father, General Wang Jian, reported it to the king, hoping for a thorough investigation, and the king agreed.
Wang Jian led hundreds of soldiers to begin a thorough investigation of the Xianyang area. For a time, the entire Qin court began to panic, fearing that this matter would implicate him.
After the Qin Dynasty meeting, he went to the palace of Chang'an.
"How did these idiots do things? They agreed to just save people, but what about you? They almost killed Wang Ben. Wang Jian has the Lantian Camp in his hands. If Wang Jian finds out anything, what we have to face The Wang family will not stop until death." Cheng Yu roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, it's Mi Shuo's business to calm down. They can't escape the blame. Don't worry Your Majesty, Wang Jian can't find anything, and Wang Jian is not a fool. He knows that this is a game between the court and as a military officer, he You can't leave the game directly, all you do is show up, the overall situation is still undecided, it's hard to say who will be the final winner, Wang Jian is a smart man, he knows what is enough," the staff said.
"I hope so. Let Mi Shuo and the others restrain themselves properly so that Wang Jian doesn't get a handle on them," Cheng Jian said.
"Yes." The staff member smiled bitterly. There was one more piece of news he didn't dare to tell. After Mi Shuo sent people to intercept the people, they were kidnapped on the way. None of the people sent out survived, and the last person was missing. He originally wanted to tell Cheng Xi, but seeing that Cheng Xi was already furious, he didn't say anything. This might make Cheng Xi give up on Mi Shuo.
"Your Majesty, please come to the palace to contact the Queen Mother Huayang and raise an issue at the court meeting tomorrow." the aide continued.
"Why?" Cheng Yu asked. Their original plan was to wait until the public opinion completely broke out before launching an attack.
"Now that Ziyou has gone to deal with this matter, we must move forward with this matter. The nights are long and the dreams are many. Although we cannot pull the king off the throne now, we can still greatly affect his reputation, and we can gradually plot other things. "The staff said.
Cheng Yu looked gloomy and thought for a while before saying.
"I know, I'm going to see my grandmother right now." Cheng Xi stood up and said.
Wenxinhou Mansion.
When Lu Buwei listened to his subordinate's report that Cheng Xi had entered the palace, he couldn't help but have a sarcastic smile on his face.
"I can't hold my breath now. Did the trial reveal anything?"
"Master Marquis, the news from the net is that the mastermind behind this is Shangqing Mi Shuo. Mi Shuo colluded with Chang'an Lord and mobilized the wealthy families who were dissatisfied with the food donations in an attempt to make money and disrupt the government by deceiving the people." The steward handed over. said.
"What a fool. How can such a person be worthy of being the king of Qin? Let the people in the net keep an eye on these big families. After the government is over tomorrow, we will take action and throw that person to the imperial court." Lu Buwei smiled disdainfully.
"Wei Ting? This... Yao Jia and Lord Marquis have always been at odds. Will he help us?" the steward asked.
"He won't help me, but he will help Mr. Ziyou." Lu Buwei said.
Ziyou, who was in Qili, also received news from Xianyang. Looking at the information in his hand, Ziyou smiled heartily.
"How are the various disaster areas doing?" Ziyou asked.
"Reporting to Sir, the food has been distributed and the disaster has been greatly alleviated. With the arrival of the doctors and gentlemen's methods, the plague has also been greatly curbed. However, the locusts are still raging. Soldiers Manpower is limited and there is not much relief without the help of the people,” Zhao Gao said.
"Wait a minute." Ziyou said while drinking tea, and then looked at Li Xin, "Li Xin, do you dare to die for Qin?"
"Why not!" Li Xin straightened his back and said. As the future heir of a wealthy family, the concept he has been instilled in him since he was a child is righteousness, the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and dying for national affairs is exactly what they pursue.
"Okay, take this token and the edict and go to Lishan Camp to find Mengwu, mobilize the soldiers, and ask Mengwu to send people to arrest all the people on the list. You can't let anyone go if you lead them yourself." said.
"It's sir." Li Xin immediately took the edict and token.
Both the token and the edict were brought back by Ying Zheng. After the things here were over, Zi You asked Zhao Gao to return to Xianyang and told Ying Zheng about it. Ying Zheng did not hesitate to ask Zhao Gao to bring them back. Returned the token and edict.
"Zhao Gao, take the wooden slip to the Shangqing Yao Jia and tell him to cooperate with Marquis Wenxin." Ziyou handed a wooden slip to Zhao Gao.
"It's sir." Zhao Gao took the wooden slip and asked, "Sir, does Marquis Wenxin also want to take action?"
"You will know then. You can stay in Xianyang and watch slowly." Ziyou said.
"It's sir." Zhao Gao and Li Xin both left.
The three elders are here. Yesterday, the three elders took the captured charlatan and told the people the truth. As a result, the charlatan was almost beaten to death by the people. Then the three elders took the lead and the people began to hunt locusts in the fields. Although the people were still a little bit He was worried, but there was no way out, so the only way left was to hunt. He reported to Ziyou about the situation of catching locusts and left. Then Chuiliyi came.
"Sir, Chu Liyi is here." Xue Nu came to the yard with the young man in linen clothes.
"Have you thought about it?" Ziyou looked at Chu Liyi and asked.
"Sir, I've thought about it, Chu Liyi, I would like to become my teacher." Chu Liyi shouted as he watched his disciples parade.
"Okay, I will accept you today and study with me. You are from Qili, so I hope you won't put down the things in Qili." Ziyou said.
"Thank you, teacher." Qi Liyi said excitedly. He hesitated before because he was worried that Ziyou would let him devote all his attention to Confucian knowledge, but his worries were unnecessary. Today's Confucianism is not as rigid as it will be in the future. In addition to daily Confucian knowledge, Confucians still encourage these disciples to learn knowledge from other schools, except of course the Mohists. In their view, the Mohists are completely beasts and not worth learning.
As for why you learn the knowledge of other sects, of course it is to learn from the excellent experiences of others and make it your own.
