Wang Jian returned to his senses instantly, doubt flickering in his eyes, and he looked up at the direction of the door and said.

"Marquis, High Minister Meng Yi is not entering; he is at the door, hoping you can see him..."

The old butler outside, upon hearing this, quickly said.

"What??"

The old General Wang Jian, upon hearing this from the butler, frowned tightly.

What trick is Meng Yi playing?!

"Marquis, should I see him? Or should I go and send him away?"

The old butler asked for advice.

The old General Wang Jian, listening to the old butler’s words, had eyes full of doubt and confusion.

He couldn't understand what trick Meng Yi was playing by doing this...

"Why did Meng Yi come here? Why did he come without entering?!"

"Did His Majesty send him to bring a message?"

"No, if His Majesty had something to say to me, he would definitely summon me personally..."

"Since that’s the case, what does this Meng Yi want?"

"Could it be..."

The expression on the old General Wang Jian’s face shifted uncertainly, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

For a time,

He couldn't figure out,

Why Meng Yi suddenly,

Ran to his house to visit.

"I want to see what you are trying to do..."

After thinking silently for a moment, General Wang Jian returned to his senses.

After tidying up everything on the table, he stood up and walked out of the room.

After pushing the door open, he saw the old butler waiting outside.

Without saying much to the old butler, the old General Wang Jian, with a gloomy expression, walked toward the gate of the residence!

And at this moment,

Outside the old General Wang Jian’s residence,

Meng Yi was standing calmly outside the gate, waiting for the arrival of the master of the house.

The guards at Wang Jian’s residence were all looking at Meng Yi with strange expressions.

However, they knew Meng Yi’s status, so even if they were suspicious, they didn't dare to say much.

"Tap, tap, tap—"

Suddenly,

A slight sound of footsteps came, and Meng Yi heard it instantly.

He looked up abruptly,

Looking toward the direction the sound came from.

He saw,

The figure of the old General Wang Jian walking over.

"Meng Yi has visited rashly, please forgive me, old General."

Meng Yi, seeing Wang Jian walk over, quickly bowed and greeted him with proper etiquette.

The old General Wang Jian still didn't know what medicine Meng Yi was selling in his gourd.

Looking at Meng Yi standing outside the gate, seeing him bow to him, his brow furrowed into a knot.

"Meng Yi, why visit without entering?"

The old General Wang Jian’s tone was somewhat low; he couldn't quite understand Meng Yi’s behavior.

"Old General, the reason Meng Yi came today is to investigate a matter..."

Upon hearing the old General Wang Jian’s tone, the expression on Meng Yi’s face instantly became serious, his gaze fixed on him, and he said in a deep voice.

"Hmm?!"

The old General Wang Jian felt a jolt in his heart, remained silent for a moment, looked Meng Yi up and down, and asked in a deep voice: "What matter do you have to investigate at my residence?!"

At this time,

He felt somewhat unhappy,

No matter what, he was a Great Qin Marquis; was he someone anyone could just investigate?

Even if you, Meng Yi, are an imperial court minister, it is impossible for you to investigate me at will!

Meng Yi didn't care what Wang Jian was thinking at all; his eyes became sharp, and he suddenly spoke.

"Old General Wang, is there anyone in your residence missing a left hand?!"

When Meng Yi asked this, his gaze was fixed on the old General Wang Jian, wanting to capture every subtle change in his expression,

His words caused Wang Jian’s eyes to become somewhat sharp.

And the fact that his eyes became sharp was naturally captured by Meng Yi.

Instantly,

Meng Yi felt a roar in his heart,

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and his expression also became sharp, staring fixedly at the old General Wang Jian.

"Yes!"

The old General Wang Jian’s expression was sharp, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Yesterday, a servant beside my son Wang Ben was ambushed in the middle of the night by Xiongnu spies, who severed his left hand!"

"These damned Xiongnu spies are simply unscrupulous to the extreme!"

"This is a naked provocation against Great Qin, a provocation against imperial majesty!"

It seemed,

That this matter,

Had made the old General Wang Jian,

Extremely angry in his heart, angry at the deranged behavior of the Xiongnu!

However,

Meng Yi, listening to these words,

Had a sneer on his lips, staring fixedly at the old General Wang Jian.

"Hehehe... Xiongnu spies?!" Meng Yi listened to the old General Wang Jian and sneered repeatedly: "Bullshit Xiongnu spies!!!"

"Meng Yi, what do you mean by this?"

Meng Yi’s reaction caused the old General Wang Jian’s expression to turn cold, and he stared at him with some dissatisfaction.

"Old General, let’s not beat around the bush; your son’s servant’s hand could not possibly have been severed by Xiongnu spies. As for who severed it, you should know clearly in your heart..."

Meng Yi didn't care at all about the old General Wang Jian’s cold expression: "Old General, don't play dumb!"

Meng Yi’s words instantly caused General Wang Jian’s eyes to become sharp.

The old General Wang Jian, after remaining silent for a moment, looked at Meng Yi with a frown: "Meng Yi, what do you mean by this?"

"Still playing dumb, are you?"

Meng Yi, seeing the old General Wang Jian’s reaction, was instantly furious, anger surging in his eyes: "Five years ago, Young Master Mo rose to power and was invincible in the world..."

"And you, Wang Jian, began to step down at that time, and your prestige in the army was gradually replaced by Young Master Mo..."

"As Young Master Mo’s prestige grew stronger, the world only knew of Young Master Mo’s invincible military might, and not you, Wang Jian..."

"At that time, were you, Wang Jian, dissatisfied? Did you harbor thoughts of rebellion?!"

Swish—

As soon as Meng Yi said this,
