Zhong Li's order, no one in Xianyang dared to disobey, and all actions against Jing Ke were stopped, but the spies still closely monitored Jing Ke's every move.

Even Qin Wuyang couldn't cry or laugh, the capital of Qin was Xianyang, and the most powerful person was actually a woman. Everyone can see that whatever the King of Qin wants to do, the magnates will follow, but they will not do things wholeheartedly, and always want to get some benefits from it.

And Zhongli's words made the powerful families dare not make a mistake, indicating that everyone is afraid of her. Can you not be afraid? Zhongli even dared to assassinate the Empress Dowager Xia Ji, who else did she dare not kill? She is the most confidant of King Qin, and at the same time she is a swordswoman, and her influence in the military is too deep, and the young generals in the army are her students.

provoked King Qin, many people were not afraid, after all, King Qin would not really kill them. can provoke Zhongli, no matter what your background is, and no matter what your identity is, you will kill it directly. Such a ruthless person, of course, the magnates are afraid, even Jing Ke is a little worried about his situation, and he is afraid that he will not be able to pass Zhongli's pass.

Now, the bait is released, and I don't have to worry about my life for the time being. But Jing Ke also knew deeply that Zhongli was more ruthless than anyone else, so he just didn't kill him for the time being, and when he handed over that treasure, he still couldn't escape the fate of being killed.

I can't wait any longer, the situation is too passive for me, this kind of sword that is always hanging over my head, maybe one day Zhongli can't wait and falls directly, then it will be troublesome. How dare Jing Ke wait for Zhongli to make a move, the strength of the people is there, even if he and Qin Wuyang join forces, they are not Zhongli's opponents. She is far away in Xianyang, but she doesn't have any support, and this is Zhongli's territory, so she doesn't even need Zhongli to do it, just a word, there are a large number of people for her to use.

It was also on this day that Jing Ke began to communicate with each other, and he walked through the mansions of various powerful families, all of which were visited in person. It's a pity that it backfired, he ran into walls everywhere, and he ate enough behind closed doors, and he didn't even see him.

Who would dare to see him at this time? He is the one who Zhongli is watching, and the guards of the Zhong Hall are all scattered, and who Jing Ke said to whom, Zhongli can know in a blink of an eye, for the magnates, it is better not to contact all the people who are concerned with Zhongli, so as not to commit some taboos.

What's more, Prime Minister Li Si also said that he didn't like to see Jing Ke, and it was best for the children of each family to stay away from this person. The rivers and lakes are reckless, and they don't understand the rules of officialdom at all, maybe one day Jing Ke will make a mistake and implicate himself. As a result, even the people in the Xianyang School Palace did not welcome Jing Ke, which made Jing Ke struggling, and the plan could not be continued at all.

In fact, at this time, there was someone in the school palace who passed a message to Jing Ke, that is, Tianshui. Tianshui told Jing Ke that if you want to meet King Qin, then you have to come to the school palace to find him, and with Tianshui's introduction, it is naturally easy to meet Yingzheng. If you don't come, Tianshui has no reason to come forward.

After all, you are the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, representing the voice of the Yan Kingdom, while Tianshui is the teacher of the Xue Palace, conveying the voice of the Qin State. Although the two used to be a master-apprentice relationship, but now they are their own masters, and if you don't come to visit in person, he is really not suitable to take the initiative to meet you.

Especially with Zhongli's intervention this time, the influence of the School Palace will be maintained, and Tianshui will not let the entire School Palace be affected because of you alone. The most unpleasant thing for Tianshui is mainly Jing Ke's identity, you actually became an envoy of Yan and was worshiped by King Yan as Shangqing, have you forgotten your hatred with King Yan? Tianshui kept thinking in private, could it be that Yi Shui also obeyed King Yan's orders?

That's a force created by himself, even if he is not the leader of Yishui now, he can't hand over this force to the Yan royal family. Tianshui regretted it a little, did he do something wrong, when he chose Jing Ke as the leader of Yishui, was it not a person?

In this life, people are not afraid of doing wrong things, and they are most afraid of looking at the wrong people.

Yanguo Post House, Qin Wuyang is very anxious, Jing Ke runs into walls everywhere, let alone seeing King Qin, now he can't even see other people's ministers. There are still many spies around, the situation is extremely unfavorable, although Zhongli is not allowed to do it, but he can't stand someone really coming to assassinate, and there are more people who want to kill Jing Ke.

He is not familiar with the place of life, and he has no connections, even those acquaintances that Qin Wuyang had before dare not see him now.

Qin Wuyang said: "Brother Jing Ke, it's been three days, and King Qin still has no intention of meeting, if it drags on like this, we can drag it out, but can that Zhongli still drag it for us?" I can see that she is very determined to kill you, and she doesn't kill you now, she just wants to see what that treasure is. If she loses patience, she will probably send his men over at night. ”

"Those guards in the Zhong Palace, who can monitor us, all have peak strength. Although those people are not strong, they can't stand the crowd. Xianyang is Zhongli's territory, and the Zhongdian manpower can be endless, and it will consume us to death, but we don't have any help. What I mean is to invite the eldest brother to go to the school palace to meet Teacher Tianshui, he is a member of the family, if you don't go, the teacher will definitely think that we have betrayed him. ”

Jing Ke shook his head and said: "I can't see Teacher Tianshui, the teacher has a great favor to me, and the matter of Xianyang must not implicate him." As long as the teacher is here, no matter how big the mess I poke out, Yi Shui can get a chance to survive. I can see anyone, but I can't see the teacher, you should understand. ”

Qin Wuyang said bitterly: "But if we don't see the teacher, how can we find that stepping stone?" Li Si has already spoken, the magnates don't dare to see us at all, I'm really afraid that Zhongli will kill him at night, that person is too ruthless. ”

Jing Ke broke through and said, "Wait, at night? How did I not think of it? ”

Qin Wuyang asked in wonder, "What do you think of?" ”

Jing Ke smiled and said: "I understand, it's not that the powerful people don't dare to see me, but they are afraid of offending Li Si." In officialdom, attacking and destroying political opponents is a common thing, and it is difficult for everyone to come clearly, but private battles are very frequent. ”

Li Si said that, that is, using Zhongli's power to make the powerful dare not stand up publicly. It wasn't Li Si who they were afraid of, but Zhongli. If I had chosen some of Lees's political enemies and visited them at night, someone might have let me in and talk. ”

"Just let me in, we talk, and the plan can continue. Who are there who are not afraid of offending Lees? Zhao Gao is one, but he is Yingzheng's henchman, and it is difficult for me to see him; Han Fei is counted as one, but he is repairing in the school palace, and he is too close to Teacher Tianshui, so it is not suitable for me to meet him; Mi Chen can't go there, he has a very good relationship with Li Si, and he is very wealthy, so he doesn't look down on my little money at all. ”

"But there is a person who is not only greedy for money, but also a favorite of Yingzheng, and he is not afraid of Li Si's threat. As long as I visit him at night and bribe him directly, as long as I see people with money eyes, as long as it does not affect my own interests, I can basically do anything. ”

Qin Wuyang asked, "Who is that?" ”

Jing Ke said confidently: "The middle concubine Mengjia." ”

The middle concubine is the retainer of the king, who specializes in dealing with the affairs of the kings, and this kind of person has always been favored by the kings. The prince's attendants and Xiangguo's attendants attracted by this are all named after the middle concubine.

The middle concubine Meng Jia, but unlike the other attendants, he is a person who Yingzheng trusts. The reason for trusting him is mainly Mengjia's background. Meng Jia is a member of the Meng clan, a family of Jiangmen, and many civil and military generals have come out of it, and he is trusted by the Ying clan.

For such an innocent Meng family, Ying Zheng is naturally very trusting, after all, Meng Wu wants to lead troops to fight, and it is impossible to follow him from time to time. And the Meng family is an important family in the Qin State, I heard that he is still the younger brother of Meng Fu, who is in the prime of life, and his seniority is higher than that of Meng Wu and Meng Tian.

Although this person is very greedy for money, Yingzheng's employment standard, that is, when the water is clear, there is no fish, there is no doubt about employing people, and suspects do not use it. There are more powerful people who are greedy for money, and it is not yet time to rectify the internal bureaucratic atmosphere, not to mention that Meng Jia is sincere and frank in his work, he will take what he should take, and he will definitely not touch his hands when he should not take it, such a person is very comfortable to use.

And Jing Ke is looking for him, as Meng Jia, he often gets very close to Yingzheng. It is difficult for others to see Yingzheng, but Meng Jiana is the Lord who can be seen when he sees him. For Meng Jia, he will not be afraid of Li Si's threat, the Meng family has heavy troops, as long as they serve the King of Qin well, they are not afraid of anyone coming to find trouble for themselves.

During the day, the news was passed into the Mongolian Mansion, and Jing Ke came at night. Sure enough, Meng Jia's attitude towards Jing Ke went from scolding during the day to being entertained at night, changing his face faster than turning a book, and he was a sleek person.

At the banquet, Meng Jia said with a smile: "Please also ask your envoy not to see outside, Li Si is my prime minister of Daqin after all, and he still has to give face." There are many people during the day, and I am not good at dealing with him, although I am not afraid of him, but as an official in the same dynasty, I always have to leave him some affection. No matter how much you give, you can't stop my money, you know. ”

Hearing such explicit words, Jing Ke felt a sense of evil for no reason, and he actually asked for money without shame, where had he ever met such a person on the rivers and lakes. I was very unhappy in my heart, but I didn't show it on the surface.

Jing Ke said with a smile: "When I first came to your country, I came in a hurry, and I didn't have much money and things with me, so I only prepared a small gift, and I asked Lord Mengjia to accept it with a smile." ”

Pushed out a box, opened it and looked, the box was full of gold beads and jade, shining, Meng Jia's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled: "The envoy has worked hard, this money is useless to you, you are the secretary of Yan State, and there are many opportunities to make money, and you can't use it so much." But the money was of great use to me, to make friends with colleagues and to feed the diners, and I received what the government needed, so I accepted it. ”

summoned his subordinates, moved the box into the inner room, and at the banquet, he nodded to Jing Ke frequently. Jing Ke also understands the meaning, which means that he is very sensible. Even Jing Ke was thinking in his heart that if he hadn't moved out of the money, Meng Jia would probably have a different look at him.

But he heard Meng Jiayan say: "Your envoy is in an important position, and it seems that he rarely experiences such a thing, so you might as well listen to me." In fact, it is common for envoys to exchange gifts in exchanges between the two countries, and others dare not accept them, mainly for fear of offending people. Don't look at Prime Minister Li Si's high demeanor, he looks honest and simple, and he doesn't ask for money, but in fact, he is also greedy for money in his bones. ”

"You should have seen the carriages coming and going in front of the Li Mansion, they were all gifts for him. And when he travels, he is a luxurious five-horse carriage, how can an honest person have such wealth? When the king travels, he is a six-horse-drawn carriage, but he can have a five-drawn carriage, in fact, he is telling everyone in a different direction that his status is several times the same as that of the king of my family. ”

"Such a person who loves to play pomp and circumstance has provoked many nobles in the palace to be discouraged, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself. I won't be as stupid as him, every time I travel, it's just an ordinary carriage, and I have to find those peasant carts, so that the king will use me more and trust me. Even if I was greedy for money a few times occasionally, I was only laughed and scolded by Lord Mi Chen, and the king didn't care. ”

Jing Ke never thought that there were these doorways here, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that there are all such people in the officialdom?" ”

Meng Jia restrained his smile and said slowly: "Not really, there are still people I admire very much. My right prime minister Feng Quji, the right prime minister of Daqin, is completely opposite to Li Si's style, he is also the prime minister, and Feng Quji is favored by the king. ”

"Feng Qujian is an honest official, that is really clean, and the carriage he travels in is actually the same as me, it is also an ordinary car. As long as you don't go far away, every time you go to the court to discuss matters, you walk through your home. It's okay for anyone to know about you and me, but you can't let Feng Quji know, otherwise he will definitely go to the king to visit me, and if no one else can do this, he will definitely do it. ”

"If I really find the king, I can only be punished, and I can only blame myself for being unlucky. You've been to his mansion too, so you should have eaten the closed door. That's for sure, even if you go at night, he won't let you in. For him, if an envoy of a country wants to make friends with someone, he must use official channels, and any communication in private is not in line with the rules. ”

"If you dare to go at night, maybe the city guards will surround the Yanguo Post House the next day, and at least trap you in the post house and wait for him to investigate. The matter of bribing the minister is also within his management, and in the entire Xianyang City, he is the only one who is not afraid of our swordswoman, you know how powerful he is. ”

Jing Ke was stunned, there were still people who were not afraid of Zhongli, and the connections in this officialdom were even more complicated than those between private forces.

At this moment, Jing Ke humbly wanted Meng Jia to ask for advice, who could see and who could not.
