Chapter 204: Bad news

Langzhong has been around for a hundred years since the establishment of the county by King Hui of Qin.

It was the middle of winter, and a layer of crystal white frost was hanging on the ancient pines on both sides of the road, shining colorful lights under the sunlight.

A fast horse galloped from a distance.

Perhaps after a difficult long journey, a layer of mist was emitting a layer of fog on the horse. The knight on the horse, with a mask and a towel, kept whipping the horses. In the distance, the high walls of Langzhong County were already in sight, the city gate was wide open, and there were more than a dozen guards standing at the door.

"People come to live in the horse!"

Uncle Men obviously saw the war horses, and quickly stood up and shouted loudly. Uncle Men was about thirty or forty years old, and was burly and strong, with a beautiful beard under his jaw, which was quite graceful. He shouted in a dialect with a strong accent, and at the same time poked out his weapon.

The knight on the horse also saw Men Bo.

"I am a native of Qin Mansion. I come from Xianyang. If you have any urgent matters, please report it to the third master. Get out of here quickly!"

The two words Qin Mansion have supreme authority in Bashu. Although Men Bo wanted to stop the war horses, he immediately waved his hand to let the guards make way out after hearing the words Qin Mansion. The knight rode his horse and whipped it, and rushed into the city gate like a wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Xin, isn't something wrong with the Qin Mansion?"

A slinger came forward to ask. Unexpectedly, the man from the gate glared and lowered his voice: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being listened to by others... The matters of the Qin family are small, it's a big deal. It's not our turn to intervene. We are so optimistic about the city gate and think that we don't know anything."

This son is a native of Langzhong, named Ji Xin.

I have been a sect in Langzhong for ten years and know the energy of Qin's mansion in Bashu. I saw the messenger disappear, but Ji Xin couldn't help but frown.

I have been in such a long time, but I have never seen anyone from the Qin Mansion, as I am today.

A few days ago, the old man in Qing went to Xianyang to obey the imperial edict. The messenger came from Xianyang again. Could it be that the old man in Qing was wrong? This thought flashed through his mind, and Ji Xin quickly shook his head: Don’t think about it randomly, what can happen when the old man in Qing was leaving?

However, there was an extra thought in my mind.

Langzhong Qin Mansion is located in the northwest of Langzhong on the banks of the Jialing River.

In a large mansion, there are buildings that cover a vast area. After entering the Langzhong City Gate, go straight down the road, and at the end is the gate of the Qin Mansion.

A black plaque is hung on the door, with two large seal script characters "Qinfu" written on it, which are particularly eye-catching in the sun.

The owner of this mansion is Qin Qing's third son, and he is also the county magistrate of Langzhong, Qin Meng, who was personally appointed by the court. Qin Qing has four sons. The eldest son died early, and the second son helped Qin Qing run a business in Jiangzhou. The fourth son is now the county magistrate of Chengdu County, Shu County. He is knowledgeable, but he is a nerd. The only person who makes a difference in the officialdom is probably Qin Meng, who lives in Langzhong City.

Qin Meng was good at martial arts since he was a child and had mastered all his skills.

A copper slap made water unable to be poured in. He was brave enough to be unstoppable by thousands of men. He was known as the Qin family's lion, and even the First Emperor valued him very much.

Qin Meng had read books for two years and read some military tactics, so he was quite interested in the military formation.

Qin Qing also thought that he had such a preference, so he recommended it to Emperor First Emperor. Originally, Qin Qing hoped that Qin Meng could enter the Lantian camp, but he never thought that this guy had only been there for half a year and refused to stay anymore. So Emperor First Emperor arranged him in Langzhong County.

He is not very strong, but after all, he is in charge of the soldiers and horses of a county.

With the energy of the Qin family in Xianyang and Qin Qing's prestige in Bashu, he stayed safely for a few years and had enough qualifications to improve his level. According to Qin Qing's idea, I hope that Qin Meng would be able to become the magistrate of the Ba County when he was forty years old.

Qin Meng, who was 37 years old, was entertaining guests in the mansion at this time.

He said he was a guest, but he was not actually a guest. Because he was hospitalized by his second brother Qin Zhi. A few days ago, after Qin Zhi handled the matter of Daba Mountain, he came to Langzhong as a guest. To be honest, there was nothing at home, just rush back to Jiangzhou before worshiping the ancestors. There was still half a month left before worshiping the ancestors, but it was more than enough time to travel from Langzhong to Jiangzhou.

Qin Zhi was forty years old and looked like a rich man.

At first glance, it has obvious Ba people's blood. It is more than seven feet tall and has a short and thick body. It has a beard that looks like a steel needle on the face. Its hair is slightly yellow and its eye sockets are a little sunken. When speaking, its voice is loud, which makes people feel inexplicably favorable.

Qin Meng also respects this second brother very much.

The two brothers were cheering in the hall, and when they heard footsteps coming from outside the door, a butler hurried to the hall. After Qin Meng's ear whispered a few words, Qin Meng's face turned pale and he grabbed the butler's collar of his clothes.

"What you... are you saying true?"

"It's true!" the housekeeper whispered: "The messenger fainted outside the mansion, but before he fell into a coma, he told the villain."

"Santher, what happened? Why did you look like this?"

Qin Zhi, who was beside him, couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Qin Meng's appearance. Qin Meng pushed away the butler, stood up and walked to Qin Zhi's side, and whispered a few words with his ears. Qin Zhi's body suddenly trembled, his face turned pale, and he sat there for a long time without saying a word.

"Second brother, what should I do?"

Qin Zhi ignored Qin Meng, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Who is there when the messenger was talking?"

"Only the old slave!"

The housekeeper didn't hear any clues and answered honestly. However, a cold light flashed in Qin Zhi's eyes and she stood up.

"The third brother, prepare the car... I'm going to set off immediately and head to Jiangzhou!"

Qin Meng couldn't help but look at Qin Zhi in confusion, nodded, and turned around and ordered the butler to go down to prepare the car. After the butler left, Qin Meng asked, "Second brother, if you have such a big thing happening, don't you go to welcome him... at least you should wait here, what else should you do when you return to Jiangzhou?"

"San Lao, do you listen to me?"

"What did my brother say... You are my brother. Now... If I don't listen to you, who can I listen to?"

"Then listen, you must hold the messenger up for me anyway. At least before worshiping the ancestors, you cannot let him appear in Jiangzhou. That guy just now is better... I need time. I guess Xianyang cannot send it here so soon. You must block the news.

In addition, I immediately sent someone to Xianyang with a lot of money.

Didn’t I ask you to try to date Yan Le, the son-in-law of Zhao Gao, the CRRC Mansion Order,? Over the years, I believe you have invested enough. Now is the time to help him do his best. Please ask Yan Le to persuade Zhao Gao to come forward... Zhao Gao is very popular with His Majesty and can speak well. If he can help me accomplish this, I will give it a generous gift. In short, this time we will catch that girl off guard."

Qin Meng nodded slightly, but his frown brows did not stretch.

He looked at Qin Zhi, his mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something.

"Three, what do you want to say?" Qin Zhi looked rough and generous on the outside, but was extremely delicate on the inside, and immediately discovered Qin Meng's unusualness.

"Brother, the girl is still young and treats us well on weekdays..."

Qin Mengqi Ai Ai.

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhi understood what he meant. She couldn't help but smile and hugged Qin Meng's shoulder, "Three, you have gone where you think of it. No matter what, Man'er is also my niece, and we are a family. She is still young and doesn't understand many things. If her mother could...but now, she is not enough to control this huge family business. I just don't want our Qin family to decline.

Don't worry, when Man'er gets older, I will naturally return the power to her.

But I am afraid that I can't use her temperament to do what my mother said...

Leave this matter to me, and I will take my composure. What you have to do now is to block the news and not disclose it."

Qin Meng agreed!

At this time, the housekeeper had prepared the carriage.

Qin Zhi glanced at Qin Meng, patted his shoulder, and walked out strode.

"You stay, I have something to tell you!"

Qin Meng did not see him off, but took the butler to the inner hall. In a remote corner of the backyard, Qin Meng stopped.

"Lao Ba, are you sure that no one knows about this matter except you?"

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly, "Third Master, the villain can guarantee it. At that time, the door of the mansion was in chaos, and the voice of the messenger was very small. I only heard it clearly after leaning over. No one except the villain heard it. After I heard it, I sent someone to arrange the messenger to the wing room and let someone stare. Without the master's order, no one could contact that person."

After saying that, the butler smiled flatteringly, "San Master, how are the villain doing well?"

"Very good, very good!"

Qin Meng smiled and said, "Go down and receive the reward..."

The butler responded, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, a slight sound was heard behind him, and then his heart ached. The strength in his body seemed to disappear in an instant, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his foot. He lowered his head and saw a sword blade showing his chest.

He opened his mouth wide and turned his head hard to look, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

It seems to be asking: Master San, why is this?

At this time, Qin Meng had no smile on his face. He held a bronze sword in his hand and said calmly: "Lao Ba, my second brother wants to accomplish great things, so he has to let you down. But don't worry, your wife, I will raise him, don't worry."

As he spoke, Qin Meng pulled out the sword and watched the butler fall into a pool of blood coldly.

Second brother, I have done what you should do for you... Next, it depends on how you convince those old people to come forward and support you!

Mother, it’s not that I don’t listen to your teachings.

I am not only worried about taking care of this huge family business for Man'er, but I think many people in the Qin family are unlikely to be willing.

Man'er, it's not you after all!

For the future of my Qin family, please forgive me for your own actions this time!
