Volume 9 Xianyang Wind and Cloud Chapter 9 Counterattack II
In the secret room with candlelight, the dog slaughter sat silently, his face calm, and the heavy shackles weighing dozens of pounds on his body were as if they were not added to him. Outdoor, hundreds of men and soldiers surrounded the secret room, and the four girls of Fire Phoenix were also guarding him. The dog slaughter could not escape from the sky and earth at this time.
In a soft sedan chair, he carried the 'Zhongyin Old Man' with Fusu to the outdoors. Seeing such a large formation from afar, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and whispered to Fusu: "Fusu, there are too many people, so it's not advisable to act secretly. Ask them all to take them down! It's enough to have me here!"
Fusu nodded and said to Wuxin, "Let Huo Feng and the others retreat!" Wuxin nodded and went to pass on his life. In a moment, the four girls of Huo Feng and the men of the man in the palace retreated, leaving only Wuxin and five others behind.
Fusu opened the door of the secret room and accompanied the old man in high spirits. At this time, the dog slaughter heard the sound of the door moving, but he didn't move, just closed his eyes and pondered, as if he was not even interested in opening his eyes!
The old man, who was a little unstable on the road, recognized the dog slaughter at a glance, his expression turned flushed, and his hands trembled a little. Fusu quickly helped the old man sit down. The old man was excited for a long time before calling in a trembling accent: "Puppy, do you still remember me?"
The dog slaughter was closing his eyes and meditating, his heart was as unwavering as an ancient well. Suddenly, he heard the kind call in his ears, and his spirit seemed to have returned to his childhood. At that time, the dog slaughter was only about ten years old, very naughty and cute. While learning from the old man, he liked to play with the puppy raised by the old man the most, so the old man always called him "puppy" in kind!
The dog slaughter quickly opened his eyes and saw the drooping old man sitting in front of him: his peaceful expression, his divine eyes, and his unique posture immediately made the dog slaughter scream: "Teacher!?" The old man smiled kindly and used his skinny right hand to strike the dog slaughter: "Come on, let the master see you, you haven't seen you for thirty years!"
The dog slaughter immediately felt that his eyes and nose were similar to those of someone's heavy punch. He suddenly felt sore, and tears and snot flowed down. He dragged the wooden shackles weighing dozens of pounds and rushed to the old man in a hurry, and knocked heavily on the ground, crying: "Master, since the time when I got away from Handan in the past, the dog was looking for his mentor for many years but was nowhere to be found! Today, I finally saw my mentor's beard yesterday. Dog'er was happy, happy, so happy!"
Seeing the powerful man who looked down on death like a child beside the old man, Fusu couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes were a little wet, and he sighed in his heart: "A man with affection and righteousness!"
The old man caressed the dog-slaughter's hair, turned to Fusu and said, "Fusu, help the ancestor grandfather open the shackles!" "Yes!" Fusu responded and took out the key. The dog-slaughter discovered that Fusu was standing quietly beside the old man!
The shackles were opened, and the dog slaughter glanced at Fusu, without saying a word, but knelt heavily in front of the old man: "Master, Dog'er originally wanted to serve you in the forest for a long time, but now it's not possible! Dog'er is dying, and he has not had much time to go, so he can only wish his teacher a peace of life in the underworld!"
The old man touched the dog slaughter's hair and sighed repeatedly: "Crazy, dai'er, don't you know you are confused?" The dog slaughter raised his head when he heard this, wiped the tears from his cheeks, and said in surprise: "How can my teacher explain this?"
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Do you know why I am here?" The dog slaughter looked at Fusu hatefully and said respectfully, "Dou'er doesn't know, but someone told Dog'er that you are in Linzi, and you cheated Dog'er and found you in Linzi for more than a year, and you almost turned over the city of Linzi!"
Fusu couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he kept silent and dared not speak.
The old man laughed and said, "I know everything between you and Fusu! The reason why I am here is because I am not only the mentor of the current King Ying Zheng of Qin, but also the mentor of Fusu! Do you understand?" The dog slaughter was stunned and looked at Fusu without saying anything. Obviously, he thought Fusu used to tell him that his master was to deceive him into Linzi's false statements, but now he confirmed that his fellow disciples were a little surprised!
The old man smiled kindly and said happily: "Do you know why I won the victory Zheng as a disciple? Because the seven countries are chaotic, wars continue, and the people are suffering and in dire straits. If you want the people to live a peaceful and healthy life, the world must be unified! Among the seven countries, only Qin, which has been working hard to govern, has this wish and the strength to fulfill my great wish. Moreover, the heavens and wonders of Ying Zheng are very suitable to become a talented and strategic emperor to complete the immortal hegemony of unification of the world! That's why I won the victory Zheng as a disciple and came to Qin!"
As he said that, the old man looked at the dog slaughter and said meaningfully: "Do you understand what I said just now?" The dog slaughter thought for a while and said respectfully: "Please give me guidance!"
The old man closed his thoughts and said slowly: "Jing Ke is just a raider. Even if he dies, he will not harm the world! But if King Ying Zheng dies, the world will inevitably fall into chaos again, and the people will be in dire straits again! Therefore, Jing Ke dies, but King Qin cannot die. You should understand this truth so smart! The reason why Fusu deceives you to Qi is because of his friendship with his classmates and does not want you to come to Qin to die; as for Jing Ke, Fusu
Although they have a close personal relationship, they are their own masters, and they can only kill them with tears! Maybe you don’t know that for a while after Jing Ke’s death, Fusu was almost depressed and unhappy. He often played the song of Gao Jianli Yishui farewell in the palace all night, and the situation did not improve after going to Wei State! Therefore, you were really confused when you assassinate Fusu for the death of Jing Ke. It was not a real hero who gave up the great righteousness and made the small righteousness!"
The dog slaughter was silent when he heard this. No one would necessarily listen to this sentence after anyone said the dog slaughter. Only the dog slaughter said that the dog slaughter would listen and think seriously!
The old man looked at the sad dog slaughter, patted his shoulder gently, and sighed: "Cai'er, Chi'er, I know you have always valued love and friendship the most, and want to avenge your close friend! However, it can be said that in the future, Fusu is as important as Yingzheng! Although Yingzheng is talented and stubborn, he is too cruel and killing too much. No one dares to rebel in the world. If he dies, the world will inevitably fall into the war again. At that time, it is crucial for anyone to redeem the world. And Fusu's child is wise and brave, and kind, and humble, and is the most favored candidate for me! Therefore, a thousand Jing Ke can be killed in the world, and a thousand Fusu cannot be killed!"
The dog slaughter realized his enlightenment after hearing this, looked at Fusu, and smiled bitterly: "What my teacher said made the dog suddenly enlighten me, but it's a pity that it's too late!"
The old man smiled wisely and said, "Not too late, no too late! Now it's dawn. Although you are a fellow disciple of the King of Qin, you can't escape death in the Qin State with strict laws. But it's not dawn yet, and the King of Qin does not know about this. As long as Fusu lets you go, you can escape safely!"
The dog slaughter looked at Fusu in surprise when he heard this. Obviously, he didn't believe that Fusu would let him go! Fusu immediately bowed and said, "As long as Brother Dog Slaughter wants to leave, you can do it at any time!"
The dog slaughter said with emotion: "Are you really willing to let me go?" Fusu nodded firmly: "And you can give you a military order talisman. You can assume that you can be the special envoy to the Sanchuan fiefdom and escape from Hangu Pass!"
The dog slaughter sighed and burst into tears again: "Jing Ke, God is so will, I have done my best!"
Fusu looked at the old man after hearing this. The old man understood and smiled faintly, "Gou'er, who will help you when you enter the palace this time?" The dog slaughter hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Everything can't be hidden from my mentor! It was Li Si who helped me forged my identity and provided a lot of money to bribe the doctor Ling Meng Jia, so that I can enter the palace!"
Fusu and the old man looked at it and suddenly realized: That's what happened. Li Si is such a trick to kill someone with a knife! When things were done, Fusu died, Li Si took over the success, Meng Jia took over the outcome. Meng Jia was the one who failed. If the dog slaughtered, Meng Jia had to die, but Li Si was only invisible behind the scenes to control everything. As long as he refused to admit it, many secret organizations could make a certificate of identity that could not be punished at all! No wonder Li Si dared to take such a suspicion and sent assassin to assassinate!
The old man closed his eyes and thought for a while, and planned: "Meng Jia, although he is a Mongolian clan, has always been greedy for money and lust, and is close to the Li Si Party. This time, you can take the opportunity to remove him and replace him with a trustworthy person, which is beneficial to us! In addition, Fusu, if you don't fight back this time, it will inevitably make Li Si, Zhao Gao and others even more arrogant! I have a plan, see how it is!"
The old man thought about it and asked, "Fusu, how many people in the mansion know the true identity of the assassin today?" Fusu thought for a while and said, "They are all confidant guards, and ordinary officials don't know it!"
The old man nodded, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and said, "Fusu, have you told me that you want to get rid of Yao Jia? Now is a great opportunity! Zhao Gao should not move lightly now, Li Si must have received the news of the failure of the assassination. He must be prepared and killing it, but it is not easy to get rid of Yao Jia!" Fusu said happily: "Grandpa, will you come out?"
The old man smiled wisely (insidiously): "This plan requires Dog'er to help! Dog'er, you leave the palace immediately, and we claim that you suddenly untied your shackles and fled. Then, you immediately sneaked to Yao Jia's mansion and assassinate Yao Jia. Of course, you must leave your doctor's waist card on the scene! Then, you immediately sneak out of Qin! This will become confusing: After a check, a real unknown man in the palace failed to assassinate Wu'an Jun first, but after being arrested, he suddenly escaped, but rushed to Yao Jia's mansion to kill Yao Jia! Who instructed him and what motives he was? This confused account may never be found out!"
Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this, "It's great! This will kill Yao Jia, and Li Si and others dare not pass the weapon again!"
It’s true that he is still old and he immediately instigated a beautiful counterattack!
The dog slaughter was a little dull when he heard this and said sadly: "My teacher has a destiny, so my disciple should obey it! But if this is the case, my disciple has just met with my disciple, but he will stay away from it from now on, and I feel so unbearable!"
When the old man heard this, he stroked the cheeks of the dog-slaughter with his thin hands and said sadly: "Fantasy, fiancée! This is the will of God, you will be useless and sad! I live a good life in Qin State and watch my ideals come true step by step. I am very happy! You are a dissolute by nature and do not like to be restrained. You are not suitable for this place! Go and find your own paradise!" The dog-slaughter was so sad that he lost his voice and knelt in front of the old man and cried bitterly.
Fusu quietly stood up, came to the outdoors, and whispered a message to Wuxin. Wuxin was a little surprised, but he still went to get a good sword, a talisman and some gold!
Fusu handed these things to the dog slaughter, bowed and said, "Brother Dog Slaughter, please let me know!"
The dog slaughter nodded silently, put a few things on his shoulders, kowtowed three times in front of the old man, and said reluctantly: "Teacher, take care of me, I'm here!" The old man also patted the dog slaughter on the shoulder with some sadness, closed his eyes and said, "Go, be careful!"
The dog slaughter nodded, gritted his teeth, got up and led out of the secret room in Fusu.
Seeing the dog slaughter jumping onto the roof, and then disappeared into the night after three or two, Wuxin said with some confusion: "Why did you let him go?" Fusu smiled mysteriously and said: "It is natural to let go, and there will be a good show tomorrow!" Wuxin and others looked at each other, as if they were a little confused!
Fusu looked at the five people and smiled and said, "I don't understand, I'll understand tomorrow! Now it's time to call 'The assassin escaped, catch the assassin'!" Wuxin and the other five smiled bitterly, and had to cooperate and shout, "Come on, the assassin escaped, catch the assassin!"
Hearing the slogans, the Lingyan Pavilion suddenly came again, and the soldiers of the Langguan and the soldiers flocked to each other and flipped over. Of course, in the end, they didn't even catch the hair!
*******
The next day, Qin civil officials entered the hall one after another in the main hall of Xinnian Palace. Since most of them had heard of the assassination incident in Lingyan Pavilion last night, everyone whispered and talked non-stop. The eyes kept glanced at Li Si, obviously all of whom were suspicious! Li Si's face was flat and he could not move, and he was meditating like an old monk!
At this moment, Fusu stepped into the hall, and the generals always respected Fusu very much and quickly came forward.
Meng Tian looked at Fusu and said anxiously: "I heard that the assassination occurred in the king's mansion last night. Are you okay?"
Fusu smiled, glanced at Li Si at a glance, and said loudly: "It's okay, I can't die! If I hadn't been cautious in my daily life, I would have really fulfilled the wishes of some thieves!" After looking around, seeing Yao Jia's position empty, I couldn't help but feel happy, knowing that the dog slaughter must have succeeded!
Wang Wan, Feng Jie, Wei Liao, Meng Wu, Feng Quji and other important officials of Qin also surrounded him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at each other and didn't dare to say much. The good man Wang Wan just smiled and said, "It's good that you are fine, it's really my great Qin Dynasty's blessing! As the saying goes, the way of heaven is bright, and villains will be punished for one day!" "Yes, yes!" Everyone responded casually in their hearts.
Suddenly, a melodious drum music sounded outside the hall, and then a sharp voice: "The king is here!"
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly returned to their positions and bowed to the ground!
The angry face of Qin Wang Zheng stepped into the hall, majestic ascendant to the imperial throne, shook the rolling dragon black sleeves, and said coldly: "I heard early in the morning that Wu'an Jun was assassinated last night. This deep palace was like a soldier in the forest, so that the assassin could come and go freely. How did this doctor's order do it?" As he said, Qin Wang Zheng's eyes slashed, his eagle eyebrows raised, and he looked directly at Meng Jia like an angry dragon!
Meng Jia was kneeling at the stairs at this time. He was so scared that he almost urinated his pants. He knelt in panic and crawled out of the line a few steps, kowtowed repeatedly, "I will die, I will die, the king will forgive me, the king will forgive me!" As he said that, Meng Jia asked for help from his former friends with his eyes.
However, when Li Si and Zhao Gao party members saw that the Qin Wang Zheng was in a rage, they knew that the Qin Wang Zheng was the most unstable at this time, and they often killed people. They were still flawless in protecting themselves. How dare they make trouble for themselves? So they all lowered their heads and turned a blind eye! The upright people in the court were even more secretly happy, completely looking at them!
Looking at Meng Jia's cowardly appearance, King Zheng of Qin frowned and said disgustedly: "As such an incompetent person, how could I use you as the doctor's order? Where is the Tingwei?" Feng Jie responded with high spirits and said: "I am here!"
"Remove all titles from Mongjia and hand them over to the Tingwei Office for interrogation of his crime of malpractice!" The murderous Qin Wangzheng almost immediately sentenced Mongjia to death!
Poor Meng Jia's eyes turned black when she heard this and she was immediately scared to the ground. The Tingwei, the torture yamen, was easy to get in and it was difficult to get out!
"Yes, the king!" Feng Jie had long disliked Meng Jia, so he couldn't help but answer the order with a loud voice!
"Wang'er, this morning the palace servant came to report your assassination. What is the specific situation? Have you ever been injured?" Qin Wang Zheng was still very caring about Fusu. After dealing with Meng Jia, he immediately asked with concern!
Fusu said respectfully: "Father, my son is very cautious in his daily life and is well prepared, so the assassin did not hurt his son, but was caught by his son! However, this assassin was very good at assassination, and he actually knew how to shrink his bones. When his son led the person to interrogate him first, he was removed from his shackles and suddenly attacked him. I was caught off guard and was escaped by him! Please ask the father to order the big search of Guanzhong and arrest this person!"
King Zheng of Qin was surprised when he heard this: "This assassin is so powerful?" Fusu nodded and said: "That's right, the son-in-law, Qi Hong and the nine best guards, hundreds of men joined forces to round up and arrest him, which shows how great he is!"
The face of King Zheng of Qin could not help but change. Obviously, King Zheng of Qin, who was very careful about his own safety, could not help but worry about the safety of the palace when he saw that there was such an assassin in the world! Fusu was happy to see this and said respectfully: "Father, Meng Jia is a greedy and incompetent person, and he cannot bear the great responsibility. Meng Yi, the second son of Mengwu, is a steady, calm and sophisticated person, and is famous in the court and the country. Please be appointed as the doctor to protect the safety of the palace!"
King Zheng of Qin also loved Meng Yi, Meng Tian and other young players very much. He was very happy when he heard this, shook his sleeves and said majesticly: "What Wang'er said is very good, okay, let's do it like this! Zhao Gao, for me, and appointed Meng Yi as the doctor's order!" "Yes, the servant obeys the order!"
At this moment, suddenly, an eunuch suddenly came to His Highness and said loudly: "The Zuo Shi, Lord Zhou Gu, has an urgent matter to ask for the king!" King Zheng of Qin frowned and said: "Xuan!"
"See Zhou Gujin!"
A tall, thin and powerful official rushed in, but Zhou Gu, the left Shishi of the court. Seeing Zhou Gu's face was grim, he bowed and said, "Report to the king, I just received an urgent report. Guest Lord Yao Jia was killed by an assassin in the mansion in the early morning! I was shocked when I heard the news and rushed to the scene. I saw that Lord Yao Jia was already in a different place. I quickly inspected the scene and found that Lord Yao Jia had a doctor's token in his hand, and there was nothing else! Please check the picture!"
Only then did everyone notice that the guest Yao Jia had not arrived today. Everyone was busy and no one noticed this! Li Si's face, who was familiar with the inside story, suddenly changed and sweated heavily on his forehead. Although he was smart, he was not sure what accident happened, he still immediately guessed the cause of Yao Jia's death, and couldn't help but feel secretly frightened!
Yao Jia was respected as a guest minister by the King of Qin, which is the second most important position in the court after the prime minister! Although the position of guest minister is not a power position, it is also a very honorable position. It was specially set up for Qin to recruit wise men from various countries in Guandong. In history, there were often guest ministers promoted to prime ministers. Therefore, Yao Jia's death shocked all the civil and military officials. When the court was in a neutral position, they were talking about it like a storm!
A layer of dark cloud was suddenly covered with Qin Wangzheng's face. He reached out to take the order of the doctor who was transferred by Zhao Gao. When he saw it, he couldn't help but be furious. He threw the token at the stairs and said furiously: "It's outrageous. First, an assassin assassinated King Fusu, and then a palace lord assassinated the guest minister of this dynasty. How did this doctor Meng Jia do? Tingwei, strictly investigate Meng Jia's crimes, search his mansion, and come and report to me quickly!" "Yes, the king!" Feng Jie responded quickly!
The officials immediately shook their heads for Meng Jia, knowing that they repeatedly angered the King of Qin, and that Meng Jia could not die again and again!
Seeing this, Fusu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, the palace guards are tightly guarded, and ordinary assassins are absolutely unable to enter. I suspect that the assassin who assassinated his son is also a person in the palace. Two cases can be investigated in detail! I once pulled off the veil of the assassin and found that this person is tall and tall, with a leopard eye. With this appearance, the court guard can carefully check the people in the palace, and make sure that the thief will not expose the net!"
King Zheng of Qin nodded after hearing this, "It's reasonable, Tingwei, I'm going to ask you to thoroughly investigate this matter. You can interrogate all the officials and deacons in the palace. Be sure to find out what you are going to do! Otherwise, I'll ask you!" Feng Jie was shocked and hurriedly said, "I will do my best to find out this case!"
Immediately, the Tingwei Yamen immediately moved and found out that the case was found in just one day: According to the waist card, Feng Jie found that the assassin who assassinated Yao Jia was the new doctor Lin Hai. After another investigation, Lin Hai actually had the same appearance as the assassin who assassinated Wu'an Jun Fusu! Following this clue, he continued to investigate carefully and found that Lin Hai was introduced into the palace by Meng Jia. So the furious King of Qin ordered the Dashu to capture the assassin "Lin Hai" while sternly interrogating Meng Jia!
Of course, after a while, the assassin "Lin Hai" was found without a trace, and even the so-called identity certificate was found, which was purely forgery. Therefore, all the blame was on Meng Jia. Although it was not clear why Meng Jia sent the assassin to assassinate Fusu first and then kill Yao Jia, but there was a strong evidence that he could not be allowed to deny it! So, after March, the Qin Wang Zheng ordered that all the Yi Meng Jia clans beheaded in the city Cao!
Poor Meng Jia was a scapegoat for both Li Si and Fusu. Although both sides knew the secret, no one dared to reveal it, so they had to keep silent. As for Yao Jia, they could only die in vain!
Chapter completed!
