On February 7, the third year of Qin II, on Baqiao in Xianyang.

Xianyang ordered Yan Le to wear armor and patrol the city gate in person with a solemn expression. These days, the situation in Xianyang City is not peaceful. Although all the direct descendants of the First Emperor in the capital have been killed by Hu Hai,

Those clans a little further away are still in the city, and they have long hated the actions of Prime Minister Zhao Gao.

How could Hu Hai, a naughty boy, become the emperor of Qin? There were many clans who had this idea. However, due to Zhao Gao's control of the military, they could only swallow their anger.

Yan Le's men controlled all the mobile forces in Xianyang City and surrounding counties. The imperial guards that guarded the palace were also controlled by Yan Le not long ago. Feng Xuan, the captain of the Qin Imperial Guard Army who was originally in charge of the imperial guards, was the left prime minister.

Feng Quji's son, Feng Zuoxiang, was poisoned to death by a glass of poisonous wine given by Hu Hai after he remonstrated last year. Feng Xuan was immediately ordered to be imprisoned by Hu Hai and will be executed by the Queen of Autumn.

As soon as Feng Xuan left, the imperial guards became scattered. After taking control of this force to protect the palace, Yan Le discovered that there were actually people in the palace who had secret contacts with the outside world.

The person in this palace could not be Emperor Hu Hai, because, based on Yan Le's understanding of Hu Hai, the second emperor who only cared about eating, drinking and having fun did not have much interest in power. All he needed was for Zhao Gao to satisfy all his entertainment needs.

Request. Besides Hu Hai, who else is acting secretly? The reason why these people want to avoid Zhao Gao and Yan Le must have some ulterior secrets.

Who is it?

Yan Le is determined to thoroughly investigate and catch this rat hiding in the dark.

Baqiao, east end.

The passing crowds in twos and threes were passing the inspection. Yan Le's eyes swept over a fat businessman, and his eyes suddenly tightened.

"Detain that man!" Yan Le sneered, pointed at the fat merchant and said.

"promise!"

The soldiers around him were all Yan Le's cronies. After hearing Yan Le's order, they immediately rushed down.

"You guys, you can't arrest people for no reason. I have the secret talisman of the palace." Fat Jia was kicked and punched by a group of soldiers and knocked to the ground. He was still defending in his mouth.

"There is indeed something going on in the palace." Yan Le's heart sank. He had been keeping an eye on this fat man for many days. A few days ago, the fat man had contact with a servant of Hu Hai in the palace, although it was impossible to know what their contact was.

, what he said, but at least one thing is certain: there are people from other forces around Hu Hai.

——.

That day, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Gao was lying on the couch with a tired look on his face. Next to him, a pretty girl knelt in front of him, gently tapping Zhao Gao's knees with her slender hands.

In the palace, Emperor Hu Hai became increasingly difficult to cope with, and Zhao Gao became increasingly impatient. Hu Hai, who only cared about enjoying himself, had no sense of responsibility at all.

Zhao Gao has served the First Emperor for more than twenty years. Over the years, following a powerful emperor like the First Emperor who was often moody and angry, Zhao Gao has always been cautious in his voice, fearing that one day he would be abandoned by the First Emperor or someone else would replace him.

status, and while consolidating his position, Zhao Gao also tried his best to kill Li Si, Meng Yi and others who were in front of him.

"Prime Minister, Xianyang ordered Yan Le to ask for an audience."

"Let Yan Ling come in." Zhao Gao ordered lightly and continued to lie still. Yan Le was not only Xianyang Ling, but also his son-in-law. With this relationship, Zhao Gao naturally did not need to pretend to be in front of Yan Le.

Appearance and demeanor.

"Prime Minister, the city guards captured an important witness in Baqiao. According to this person's confession, the person who contacted him in the palace was a man named Han Tan." Yan Le entered the door, and Zhao Gao signaled everyone to retreat.

Later, report it to the front.

"Han Tan, it's him." Zhao Gao's eyes flashed. Han Tan was a valet who served the First Emperor. Back then, Zhao Gao and Han Tan worked with the First Emperor. Later, Zhao Gao won the favor of the First Emperor and began to gradually

He left Han Tan behind. Unexpectedly, after the death of the First Emperor, Han Tan was not willing to be lonely.

"Have you found out who else Han Tan is in contact with?" Zhao Gao asked.

"There is no definite evidence yet, but Han Tan has always been in contact with people from the royal family. If we check carefully, it won't take long to find the answer." Yan Le smiled confidently and replied. In Xianyang City, most people

All matters big and small are under his control, Yan Le. Yan Le has already sent people to keep an eye on the palaces of the royal family. I believe it won't take long to find out who is talking and conspiring with Han.

"Well, everything is left to you. Remember, don't make me hope." Zhao Gao nodded and ordered. The Zhao family and the Yan family now have a relationship of equal honors and common interests. No need for him to say more, Yan Le

He will also check it carefully. Zhao Gao has considerable confidence in Yan Le's ability.

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister. There is one more thing. Over at Hangu Pass, there have been no reports from the post in the past few days. I wonder if something will happen. I plan to send an army to investigate." Yan Le asked for instructions.

road.

"You can handle these matters yourself. In addition, you should pay more attention to Ronger and don't neglect her because of official matters." Zhao Gao nodded and ordered.

"Please rest assured, Aweng, Rong Niang is in the house and looking after the family." Yan Le lowered his head and responded. Marrying a wife from a wealthy family is a long-term commitment for a capable man like Yan Le.

Torture, as Zhao Rong's mother's family has become more and more powerful these days, her temperament and temper have also become stronger and stronger, which makes Yan Le feel very helpless.

Xianyang, Anlefang.

Ziying paced back and forth uneasily in the house. He was the younger brother of the First Emperor and the man closest to the throne after Hu Hai killed all his brothers. Now, Ziying was in a state of anxiety.

"What are you talking about? Lu Sheng was arrested. How did this happen? Didn't he let him leave the city last night? How come it was delayed until the morning?" Ziying sighed and said to a manager-looking person in front of him.

"Don't worry, my lord, this Lu Sheng has always been in contact with Han Tan and doesn't know much about our affairs. As long as Han Tan can hold on, we won't be exposed," the steward said with relief.

"Although this is the case, Yan Le is not an easy person to get along with. The line between Han and Tan is probably not going to work out." Ziying stamped his feet unwillingly and said.

He spent more than ten years on Han Tan, and spent countless money and wealth. When the First Emperor was alive, he naturally would not have any strange thoughts, and when Prince Fusu was favored, he would not

What to think about, but when Hu Hai killed all the brothers, Ziying started to feel excited.
