Chapter 404: Feng Quji

Inside Xianyang City,

"Did you really see it?"

In a dilapidated temple, several beggars squatted at the edge of the wall.

Recently, there had been an exceptionally large number of refugees arriving from all directions.

And this type of person was also the best type for collecting information.

The person asking the question was a beggar whose expression looked somewhat dull.

"I saw it with my own eyes, a black-clad man entered the residence of Prime Minister Feng Quji."

"That person stayed inside for about an hour before leaving immediately."

Another, even thinner beggar said with his head drooping.

Anyone passing by here would not think these two beggars were communicating.

And no one could hear their volume at all.

"Keep watching."

After the beggar finished speaking, he struggled to crawl up from the ground, then carried his broken bowl and began to walk forward.

This group of theirs were all members of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

The main purpose of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was to collect all information; no secret could be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

And in order to collect information, these members of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had played all kinds of roles.

Every day, all kinds of news were transmitted back to Lu Li through the network of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

"Young Master, there is news coming from Xianyang City again."

Lu Li walked into Ying Mo's room.

Ying Mo was quietly playing a game of left-hand versus right-hand.

"Speak."

A calm word was uttered, but his eyes were fixed tightly on the chessboard before him.

If Lu Li were to cast a glance, she would find this chessboard exceptionally dangerous.

Every fall and movement of a chess piece carried a hint of blood and slaughter.

"Spies have reported that Feng Quji seems to have some small movements."

Lu Li said.

Upon hearing this name, Ying Mo's expression was slightly stunned.

The frequency of this name was not very high, and for a moment, he did not react.

"What unusual movements does he have?"

It was only a moment of being stunned; Ying Mo raised his head and said.

"Someone entered his residence in the middle of the night for a secret talk for an hour, then left."

"This subordinate suspects that this black-clad man might have some connection to the black-clad man who escaped from the imperial palace earlier."

Lu Li said.

She truly felt that this black-clad man had some connection to that person.

Ying Mo's fingers unconsciously fumbled with the chess piece in his hand.

He really could not understand.

What kind of existence was Feng Quji in this game of chess?

When Li Si was alive, he was a peripheral pawn in the entire imperial court.

But once Li Si died, he instantly swallowed all of Li Si's forces.

The more Ying Mo thought about it, the more he felt this Feng Quji was somewhat suspicious.

Given his situation of being completely squeezed to the edge of the court by Li Si, even if Li Si had died, he would have had no way to swallow all of Li Si's forces.

The only possibility that could allow him to achieve this result was one.

That was that someone had already reached a cooperation with Feng Quji, helping him achieve such a result.

"Continue to keep a close eye on Feng Quji; I feel he definitely has some involvement with the person behind the scenes."

Ying Mo said.

"Yes."

Lu Li agreed directly.

"As for General Meng Tian, what movements have there been during this period?"

Ying Mo suddenly thought of General Meng Tian.

Ever since the last encirclement and suppression of the Daoist school, General Meng Tian had been stripped of all his power by Ying Zheng.

Then he had stayed in his residence for a long time.

"According to the information gathered by the spies, General Meng Tian has been practicing martial arts during this period."

Lu Li said.

"Has he not intervened in anything?"

Ying Mo was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"The entire Meng family is isolated from the outside world; not only has General Meng Tian not intervened in this matter, but even Meng Yi has not participated in anything in the imperial court."

Lu Li continued.

These two brothers, one civil and one military, one practicing martial arts at home, the other not intervening in anything in the court.

It was somewhat interesting.

"Don't worry about him for now; focus on watching Feng Quji for me."

"I feel he also seems to have some connection to the events of five years ago."

Ying Mo's eyes narrowed, and a hint of suspicion flashed in them.

As the words fell, a chess piece in his hand fell.

The crisp sound made Lu Li unable to help but look up.

At this moment, the chessboard had already revealed the final result.

Looking at the other side, which could not escape the killing trap no matter what, Lu Li lowered her head again.

"Is there any news on Wang Ben's whereabouts?"

The game ended, and Ying Mo came to the side of the table.

Lu Li moved quickly to pour a cup of tea for Ying Mo.

"We have already investigated and found that a mysterious force has already made contact with Wang Jian."

"I believe that by tomorrow, we will be able to follow this thread and find Wang Ben's whereabouts." ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
