Chapter 20: Meng Yi detects anomalies from five years ago, Hu Hai loses his composure

~7 min read 1,342 words

Xianyang City.

Late at night.

At Meng Yi’s residence.

Most people were already fast asleep.

However,

in Meng Yi’s room,

Meng Yi had no sleepiness at all.

Under the candlelight,

Meng Yi was flipping through various intelligence reports.

As a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and someone from a great family like the Wang family.

The intelligence information Meng Yi could access was unimaginable to ordinary people.

After returning home,

Meng Yi began to take out all the intelligence related to five years ago from his home.

Piling them on his desk, he flipped through and studied them bit by bit by candlelight.

"This Zhao Baili was just a small city gate guard five years ago..."

"In five years, he was promoted from a small city gate guard to the Palace Physician Order; this speed is too fast!"

"Is it really just as simple as Zhao Gao exerting effort behind the scenes?!"

Meng Yi was flipping through Zhao Baili’s intelligence information, wanting to find something from it.

Ever since he returned, he had been pondering this matter.

If it weren't for Ying Zheng’s order not to spread the word or leak the news,

he would definitely have mobilized all his power to collect and investigate intelligence from five years ago.

But now,

with Ying Zheng’s gag order,

Meng Yi could only be cautious,

relying on the materials he already had to analyze and study what exactly happened five years ago.

However, too much time had passed.

Many pieces of information and materials had already been lost.

It was not an easy task for him to analyze anything from them.

"I feel more and more that Young Master Mo’s death five years ago was extraordinary..."

Meng Yi thought while flipping through the materials, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.

"Huh..."

Suddenly, Meng Yi exclaimed in surprise, his eyes fixed on the bamboo slip in his hand.

This bamboo slip recorded a case related to Zhao Baili.

After carefully looking at the time,

Meng Yi discovered that this was a case from five years ago!

With the timing being so sensitive, Meng Yi immediately began to read the records of other case contents seriously.

"This..."

When Meng Yi looked carefully, a massive wave surged in his heart, and he felt as if a crack had been torn in the fog above his head.

"Five years ago, Zhao Baili had a dispute with someone, and the next day, that person died suddenly..."

"What is this situation?"

"Why did this person die suddenly the next day? Why wasn't the case investigated to the end?"

"What is going on?"

"Who..."

"Stopped this case from being investigated further?"

"Why was the case closed before it was investigated clearly? Why wasn't the cause of death recorded?"

"This Zhao Baili clearly had the greatest suspicion..."

Looking at the case file in his hand, the more Meng Yi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"There’s something fishy!"

"The timing is so coincidental..."

"The case is so strange, there must be something fishy in this..."

"The night that person died suddenly was exactly the time... Zhao Baili escorted the mysterious person out of Xianyang City..."

"This..."

Meng Yi began to tremble all over.

He suddenly felt.

That he had touched upon something very terrifying, falling into a heaven-shaking web...

"Could it be..."

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Meng Yi, under the candlelight, trembled slightly: "Is Young Master Mo’s death really not as simple as we imagined?"

"Young Master Mo..."

Thinking of what Ghost said.

Young Master Mo and his Annan Army.

Would not easily be defeated by the Xiongnu.

And would not easily be ambushed...

Meng Yi felt a chill all over!

The more he thought, the more his scalp tingled!

"Young Master Mo... did he really die in a conspiracy?"

"But..."

"Who would be so bold as to plot against Young Master Mo?"

"Is there such a daring person in this world?"

Minister Meng Yi could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

What exactly,

kind of conspiracy...

what kind of person was pulling the strings, ===== CHAPTER 45 =====

that could possibly...

drive Young Master Mo to his death?!

Causing the entire Annan Army to be wiped out!

This...

is too terrifying!!!

Xianyang City.

It appeared calm on the surface now.

But,

in the darkness,

massive waves were surging!

Some figures hidden in the darkness had already smelled some wind and had quietly begun to act!

At the residence of the Prefect of the Central Carriage, Zhao Gao.

At this moment.

It was permeated with an oppressive and panicked atmosphere.

The Great Qin Imperial Prince Hu Hai was pale, panicked, and nervous.

"Zhao Gao, Zhao Baili is dead!"

"The person who killed Zhao Baili calls himself Ghost, and that person is clearly not simple..."

"What is their background? Could it be... related to the Imperial Brother?"

"What should we do now?"

"This matter..."

"Will it involve us?!"

"If it involves me, then what should I do?"

Hu Hai’s expression was panicked, his voice trembling as he asked Zhao Gao in a panic.

Zhao Gao’s expression was somber.

In his eyes, cold light flickered.

Listening to Hu Hai’s words, looking at his panicked appearance.

Zhao Gao, who was already under immense pressure and feeling extremely annoyed.

Suddenly flew into a rage!

"Shut up!"

"Calm down!"

"A group of sneaky people calling themselves Ghost, what is there to be afraid of?!"

Zhao Gao couldn't help but scold Hu Hai, telling him to shut up.

The first chapter is here!

Phew, the author is working hard to release more chapters, begging everyone for flowers and evaluation tickets for support!!

Please, everyone,

A new book relies on these statistics for support!! ===== CHAPTER 46 =====

Scolded by Zhao Gao.

Hu Hai’s expression stiffened.

He opened his mouth, but the words he originally wanted to say were choked back in fear.

Watching his lost composure.

A look of disdain flashed in the depths of Zhao Gao’s eyes.

"Compared to Young Master Mo, this Hu Hai is far behind..."

Zhao Gao sighed in his heart.

However, he also understood.

Young Master Mo was a talent that appeared once in a hundred years.

Naturally, he was not comparable to a decorative pillow like Hu Hai.

Moreover,

at this critical moment,

he had to stabilize Hu Hai and not let him ruin things.

No matter what,

Hu Hai was an Imperial Prince,

and still possessed significant influence!

If he couldn't stabilize him and let him ruin things, then they would be doomed forever!

Therefore,

even though he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart,

Zhao Gao still endured it and said to Hu Hai in a deep voice: "Imperial Prince..."

"You must be calm now!!!"

"You must remember, no matter what, you must insist that everything has nothing to do with you..."

"And nothing to do with me either!"

"Absolutely must not..."

"Let any news leak or any flaws appear!"

"Otherwise..."

"We will all be doomed!"

"Do you understand?!"

Zhao Gao’s eyes were deep and cold, staring fixedly at Hu Hai, his voice low: "Now what you need to do is relax, act as if you know nothing, as if nothing happened..."

Hu Hai had no strong opinions of his own to begin with.

Listening to Zhao Gao’s words.

He could only nod,

and,

Zhao Gao’s words,

did indeed make him relax!

"I am an Imperial Prince of Great Qin, not many people dare to come and investigate me..."

Hu Hai nodded heavily and gritted his teeth slightly: "As long as I am calm and relaxed enough, and don't show any abnormalities, there won't be any problems..."

How could it be that simple?!

This was about Young Master Mo!

Young Master Mo,

was the Imperial Prince that the Emperor,

pampered and cared for the most!!!

He was the one he viewed as the best heir!!!

However, Zhao Gao also understood.

At this time,

he absolutely must not scare Hu Hai!

"That’s right!" ===== CHAPTER 47 =====
