Meng Yi motioned for several people to enter the room.
The room was slightly dark, except for an area in the middle that could accommodate a few people standing. There were shelves everywhere, filled with bamboo slips.
There are also many water tanks placed between some of the shelves.
Logically speaking, a room like this where important information is stored should be kept dry first!
Meng Yi saw everyone's confusion and sighed.
"This room contains the information collected by the secret guards, and it also includes the identities, names, origins, and relatives of all the secret guards!"
"It can be said to be the most important and core information of the entire Dark Guard!"
Zhang Han was even more strange.
"In that case, you still need to place a water tank! Aren't you afraid of moisture damage?"
Meng Yi hesitated for a moment and then explained.
"As I just said, behind every seemingly outrageous rule, there must be a bloody lesson!"
Seeing everyone's curious looks, he smiled bitterly.
"More than ten years ago! When the Dark Guard was established less than five years ago, a big event happened."
"The left guard who had been following me for more than ten years at that time! He was my good brother and my deputy. For some reason, he came here for three days in a row. He wrote down the identities of the entire eight thousand secret guards on a piece of rough cloth and then fled!"
Everyone wonders why?
"Has this person been instigated to rebel?"
Meng Yi paused for a moment without answering and continued.
"That's not the most important thing. What's important is that he burned down the entire room with fire before escaping!"
"Eight thousand secret guards are spread all over the world. Many of them have single-line connections. Some even hold high positions and only deliver messages and never show up. This room contains the only thing that can prove them!"
"Zuowei burned not only their names, but also their hope of returning home! Without their credentials, these people who risked their lives for Da Qin will never be able to come back in a legitimate way!"
Only when everyone heard this did they realize the seriousness of the matter.
Even if all the original eight thousand people were exposed, the worst possible outcome would be to take them back to Qin.
But the backup list was burned, and it was impossible to prove who the real secret guard was.
The enemy only needs to set up a few baits or add a few spies to cause great losses to Da Qin!
Forced to have no choice but to abandon the entire secret guard, they could no longer get support from Da Qin.
The scary thing is that the enemy will know who they are better than Da Qin, and sooner or later they will come looking for them one by one!
They were obviously heroes who went into dangerous places for the Qin Dynasty, but they could never prove it to themselves. Their despair made people shudder even just thinking about it.
At this moment, everyone finally understood that the water tanks scattered around the room may not be of much use, but if it catches fire again, even if it can save one more tank, it will be good.
Thinking of those desperate secret guards, several people gritted their teeth at the rebellious left guard.
The lieutenant even denounced it.
"Such sinners should be exterminated by other tribes!"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Yi sneered.
"Ha! That's right! I thought so too when I was furious at the time!"
He said with a smile and shook his head.
"I sent Zuo Wei's family to the execution ground the next day! I wanted to force him to come back! Unfortunately, he didn't! He was too cold-blooded!"
Then Meng Yi suddenly began to tremble all over, and his emotions became more and more excited.
"So! I killed them with my own hands! Ha! My whole family, brothers of more than ten years, was killed by me with my own hands!"
"After the killing! I tried my best to trace it!"
"Finally, a few months later, I found a clue that he left the border of Daqin!"
"It just so happened that a few days after that, Guo Kai of Zhao State announced that a large number of Da Qin spies had been uncovered!"
"I'm basically certain that it's him!"
"I will personally lead the team deep into the Kingdom of Zhao! Sneak into Handan City at the risk of death, bribe the servants of the Guo Mansion, and kill him with my own hands!"
Meng Yi's eyes widened! A look of pain appeared on his face!
"But when I came back with his head, I realized that he was not a left guard at all!"
Meng Yi laughed sadly.
"He is just a Qin bastard who is good at disguise!"
"After I learned that Guo had spent a lot of money to recruit talented people, I wanted to find a sufficient bargaining chip, so I set my sights on Zuo Wei, a fellow countryman who has been disappearing all day long!"
"The real left-back had already been ambushed by him, tortured, stripped of his face and thrown into the well!"
Everyone froze in place. At this moment, they could clearly feel Meng Yi's self-blame and despair!
Meng Yi smiled miserably and clenched his fists.
"That's ridiculous! I personally killed a brother and his family who had been with me for decades!"
"You are as stupid as a pig, thinking you have avenged the secret guard who is waiting for death for eight thousand people!"
"From that day on, the entire secret guard only recognizes credentials and not people!"
Meng Yi suddenly raised his head, the light in his eyes was like a wild beast!
"Not even His Majesty! This is what he personally promised!"
After speaking, Meng Yi raised his hand and handed Ying Xuan a few bamboo slips.
"Since then! The Dark Guard has never had a major loss! Until this time!"
Ying Xuan took it from his trembling hand and was about to ask something else.
Meng Yi bowed deeply!
"Please sir, seek justice for the nearly 10,000 secret guards who died tragically this time!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without raising his head!
It can be seen that his emotions are on the verge of collapse at this moment.
What happened back then has left him under tremendous pressure to this day! He never wanted to see the incident happen again!
So this detailed work must be grasped!
Everyone was silent. At the crossroads of the torrent of that era, only by miraculously making every choice right would Da Qin be where it is today!
Ying Xuan could not imagine that this was just a secret guard, and how much pressure Ying Zheng, who led the entire Great Qin at that time, was burdened with, step by step.
Take a long breath, there is no doubt that these people are great!
What a precious foundation their actions have left for future generations!
Even the changes of dynasties in the following two thousand years were just modifications and modifications on their framework!
Ying Xuan shook his head. Now is not the time to sigh. The sooner he finds out the details, the more he can help Meng Yi.
He opened the file and wanted to find out the cause of the abnormality!
But open it! There is not a word on the bamboo slips, it is blank!
Ying Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately opened several others and the same thing happened!
"Meng Yi!"
The anxious shouts awakened Meng Yi who was blaming himself.
He put down his secretly crying hand and turned to look into the room.
Ying Xuan was holding the bamboo slips facing him with a serious expression.
He was stunned for a moment, and then found that there was not a single word on the bamboo slip.
He rushed into the room like crazy!
With a look of disbelief on his face, he suddenly grabbed all the bamboo slips and confirmed them again.
No, he panicked and immediately grabbed the one on the shelf nearby and opened it.
Still not, not at all! There is not a single word on the bamboo slips in the entire room!
"Somebody come!"
Meng Yi roared almost hysterically.
He was crazy at this moment. He was very sure that the two halves of the tiger pendant certificate were always in his and His Majesty's hands.
Without such a thing, no one can come in.
There were more than a dozen people guarding the door, and as many as a hundred people guarding the door secretly. It was impossible for anyone to sneak in!
The problem must lie with the insiders!
In an instant, the entire station was filled with the sound of weapons twitching.
In just a few seconds, a large number of secret guards gathered outside the door.
Several people guarding the door also came in after hearing the noise!
Meng Yi looked at them and asked angrily.
"Where are the words? Where are the words on it?"
The guard guarding the door also had a look of horror on his face. No one had entered this room recently!
Just when everyone was tense, Zhang Liang's calm voice sounded!
"Sir! Look here!"
Ying Xuan turned around and saw a few large characters written on a scroll of bamboo slips!
"How many maids do you want to die? Come! I'll wait for you in Jiujiang!"
