Chapter 270

Only until now did the ups and downs of this entire night finally subside completely.

Early the next morning, all the people of Xianyang City learned the news that Young Master Huhai, Chancellor Feng Quji, and Clan Elder Li Zhen had intended to rebel.

Huhai likely never expected that even after his death, Ying Zheng would still nail him to the pillar of shame.

"Have you heard? I heard a major event happened last night."

"Tell me quickly what happened; the commotion outside last night was huge."

"You don't know yet? I heard it from the maid who works in the mansion of the lord."

"Last night, someone intended to rebel, and they were all suppressed by His Majesty."

"No way, how could someone intend to rebel?"

"I'm not lying to you; that was what my maid told me personally, and the lords in the mansion were all discussing this matter."

The person who was questioned seemed somewhat unhappy and tried hard to prove that what he said was true.

Looking at his serious and earnest appearance, the person who questioned him seemed somewhat skeptical.

"You're not joking, were there really people rebelling last night?"

"Would I lie to you?"

"The commotion last night, there were always people shuttling through the streets."

"You live far from the city center, so you didn't hear the commotion."

After saying that, the person looked at the people beside him with some pride.

After all, the closer one lived to the city center, the different one's status and position were.

Last night, he had also heard some commotion coming from outside, but he didn't dare to open the door to check.

After a night of panic, he received the news early in the morning.

Unable to bear it, he came to share it with these people.

And the people listening to the story did not expect to hear such a big piece of gossip, and everyone was shocked.

"That's nothing, I know more details than him."

Another voice interjected from the side, seemingly someone who also knew some inside information.

The few people who were attracted by the gossip all turned their attention to this person.

"Tell us, tell us quickly."

The group of people below were all very interested in the gossip within the Imperial City.

If they knew these gossips, they could only listen.

"Do you know who participated in the rebellion?"

The person surrounded by the crowd said excitedly.

The group of people beside him shook their heads in unison and then urged him again.

"This person is quite extraordinary."

"I'm afraid you would never guess it."

Excitement flashed in that person's eyes, the excitement of only he knowing the answer.

"Waiter, bring this young master a pot of good tea and two plates of snacks."

The listener beside him turned and said to the waiter.

The young man was somewhat flattered when he received the tea and snacks.

"This brother is too polite, then I will tell you all about it."

"Last night, the group of people who participated in the rebellion was not simple."

"Do you know which family has the most strength in military affairs in the entire Imperial City?"

The young man threw out another question.

This time, the few people watching from the side were finally able to respond.

"In the Imperial City, if we talk about strength in military affairs, I'm afraid it's only the Wang family."

"No, no, you missed one."

"General Meng Tian's strength is also not to be underestimated."

Someone beside him immediately added two sentences.

The crowd then nodded; if they had to name someone, besides the Wang family, there was only General Meng Tian.

"Then you definitely can't guess who participated in the rebellion last night?"

The young man in the middle had a mysterious smile on his face once again.

After taking a sip of tea, he said slowly.

"The one who participated in the rebellion last night was Wang Ben."

The man said.

Originally, when this group of people talked about these people, they would add "Little General" at the end.

But this time, when the young man mentioned Wang Ben, a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes.

This Wang Ben had actually joined the rebellion.

How could he still be worthy of them calling him "Young General"?

"That's impossible."

"I say, are you joking! How could the Wang family participate in a rebellion?"

"Old General Wang has been loyal and patriotic his whole life, winning so many victories for our Great Qin; how could the Wang family be involved in this?"

After hearing this young man's words, someone nearby immediately spoke up to refute him.

Judging by the tone, it was as if their own faith had suffered a shock.

Hearing these rebuttals, the young man's mouth twitched.

"Oh my, this young brother is not wrong, you know."

The person who first started discussing this matter immediately stood out and said.

"My girl seems to have mentioned this point as well."

"The one who participated in the treason last night was indeed Young General Wang Ben."

The previous person said.

"Big brother, he is no longer worthy of you calling him 'Young General'."

"A traitor and a rebel, how could he be worthy of this title?"

The young man spoke up to remind him.

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. Now this Wang Ben is a traitor and a rebel, unworthy of the title 'Young General'."

With the two of them singing in harmony, those around them who were still somewhat incredulous all fell silent.

Why would it be like this?

Old General Wang had been loyal and patriotic his entire life, and their Wang family had fought for Great Qin for decades to achieve their current status.

Why would Wang Ben choose to rebel?

Countless thoughts appeared in the minds of these people.

"But the Wang family did not participate in the rebellion."

The young man took a sip of tea and suddenly said.

After he finished this sentence, the people present immediately revealed bewildered expressions.

Isn't Wang Ben a member of the Wang family?

Silence spread among the few.

"Do you mean to say that Wang Ben broke away from the Wang family?"

Someone asked tentatively.

"No, no, no, you guessed wrong."

"I'm afraid you will never guess what happened last night in your entire lives."

This time, the young man did not speak in riddles.
