Chapter 42: Lord Meng Yi detects anomalies from five years ago, Hu Hai loses his composure

Xianyang City.

Deep in the night.

At Lord Meng Yi's residence.

The vast majority of people were already fast asleep.

However,

in Lord Meng Yi's room,

Lord Meng Yi had no sleepiness at all.

Under the candlelight,

Lord Meng Yi was flipping through various intelligence reports.

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

The intelligence information Lord Meng Yi could access was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

After returning home,

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

Piling them on the desk, he studied them bit by bit by the 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 Physician Ling; this speed is too fast!"

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

Lord Meng Yi was flipping through the intelligence information on Zhao Baili, wanting to find something from it.

Ever since he returned, he had been thinking about this matter.

If it weren't for Made Ying Zheng's order not to spread the word and leak the news.

He would definitely have mobilized all his power with great fanfare to collect and investigate intelligence from five years ago.

But now,

with Made Ying Zheng's gag order,

Lord Meng Yi could only be cautious,

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

However, too much time had passed.

Many information materials had already been lost.

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

"I increasingly feel that the death of Prince Ying Mo five years ago was extraordinary..."

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

"Huh..."

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

This bamboo slip recorded a case related to Zhao Baili.

After carefully looking at the time,

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

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

"This..."

When Lord Meng Yi looked at it carefully, a massive wave surged in his heart, and he felt as if the fog over his head had been torn open by a gap.

"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 files in his hand, the more Lord 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 bizarre, there must be something fishy in this..."

"The night that person died suddenly, it happened to be... the time Zhao Baili escorted the mysterious person out of Xianyang City..."

"This..."

Lord Meng Yi trembled all over.

He suddenly felt.

That he had touched upon something very terrifying and had fallen into an earth-shattering web...

"Could it be..."

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Lord Meng Yi, under the candlelight, trembled slightly: "Is the death of Prince Ying Mo really not as simple as we imagined?"

"Prince Ying Mo..."

Thinking of what Ghost said.

That Prince Ying Mo and the Annan Army under his command.

Would not be easily defeated by the Xiongnu.

And would not be easily ambushed...

Lord Meng Yi felt a chill all over!

The more he thought about it, the more his scalp tingled!

"Prince Ying Mo... could he really have died in a conspiracy?"

"But..."

"Who has such great courage to plot against Prince Ying Mo?"

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

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

Exactly,

what kind of conspiracy...

what kind of person was pulling the strings, **CHAPTER 44**
