Chapter 278 Yu Miaoyan discovers the fake Zhang Fan, a traitor!
Upon seeing this, Yu Miaoyan immediately curled her lip in disdain, secretly thinking to herself:
"Tch! Judging by this nouveau riche's attitude, he's probably just another local tyrant! What's with all the swagger?"
however!
Unexpectedly, the next moment, just as the carriage drove past her, the night wind happened to lift the curtain of the carriage window.
The carriage curtain was slowly pulled open a crack, and Yu Miaoyan glanced at it casually.
Just one glance!
She was struck dumb, completely stunned!
Inside the train carriage!
In the dim candlelight, a face she knew all too well appeared!
It was none other than the Great Qin Immortal Master—Zhang Fan!
"hiss!"
Yu Miaoyan's pupils shrank sharply, her eyes widened in terror, and she covered her mouth tightly, afraid that she would scream!
She turned her head stiffly, watching the carriage pass by her, her heart filled with turmoil!
How is that possible?
Didn't Master Zhang Fan send troops to Japan?
How did they suddenly appear in Wu County, where the remnants of the Chu state were entrenched?
Moreover, he was being guarded by a group of unidentified guards?
In an instant!
Alarms were sounding in Yu Miaoyan's mind!
A hypothesis suddenly popped into my mind!
"Could it be... that His Majesty already possessed irrefutable evidence of Zhang Fan's collusion with the remnants of the Chu Kingdom? Is that why he remained outwardly calm while secretly sending us to Wu County to investigate?"
"Zhang Fan! You damned sinner for all time!"
Just thinking about how the Qin Dynasty poured all its national resources into supporting him!
His Majesty trusts him so much!
He was actually a traitor who colluded with the enemy and betrayed his country!
Yu Miaoyan was so angry that her delicate body trembled and her face turned bright red instantly!
"Traitor! Traitor to the Qin Dynasty!"
Yu Miaoyan gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath. Not daring to delay for a moment, she immediately turned around and ran back to the dark alley.
……
After a while.
Inside the Heibingtai gathering point in Wuxian County.
Yu Miaoyan strode into the stronghold, her expression as cold as frost!
"Bring me pen and ink!"
She gave a cold shout, immediately unfurled the scroll, and began to write with flowing, powerful strokes.
He wrote down in great detail what happened that night in the streets of Wu County, where Zhang Fan was mingling with suspected Chu rebels, and prepared to send the urgent message to Xianyang overnight!
The secret message is finished!
Yu Miaoyan abruptly raised her head, looked at her trusted confidants, and gave a murderous order:
"Pass down the order!"
"Immediately send spies to keep an eye on that carriage! The scout just reported that it entered Ji Honglou in Wu County!"
"Keep a close watch on Zhang Fan's every move!"
……
Several days later.
In Xianyang, it was still dark.
Inside the Zhangtai Palace, candlelight flickered.
Ying Zheng, dressed in a black dragon robe, held in his hand a secret letter written by Yu Miaoyan, which had just been presented by the Black Ice Platform.
His eyes quickly scanned the contents of the letter!
Then, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"That girl, Yu Miaoyan, is quite responsible..."
Ying Zheng chuckled lightly, clearly confident in everything that was happening in Jiangnan.
He slowly placed the secret letter in his hand on the candlelight beside him.
The flames instantly engulfed the letter, silently burning the confidential report into ashes.
Followed by.
Ying Zheng personally picked up a brush and quickly wrote a new secret letter at his desk.
Just as the letter was written and sealed, a respectful, hushed voice from outside the palace gates called out:
"Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court session."
Ying Zheng put down his imperial brush, turned around, and casually asked:
"Where is Immortal Master Zhang Fan? Has he risen today?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li, standing outside the door, was taken aback and quickly replied, somewhat embarrassed:
"Your Majesty... the Immortal Master is probably still fast asleep on his bed right now!"
"As you know, the Immortal Master usually rests at midnight (12 AM) and doesn't wake up until 10 AM (9 AM)..."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, feeling somewhat helpless.
This kid, relying on my favor, has really become unruly.
He immediately waved his hand and gave the order without room for argument:
"Go! Convey my decree: summon the Immortal Master!"
"He absolutely must attend the morning court session today!"
……
At this moment, inside the Institute of Physics.
Zhang Fan was fast asleep, hugging his pillow, dreaming of counting the tons of silver that had been shipped back from Japan.
Suddenly I was awakened by a sharp eunuch's voice!
"Immortal Master! His Majesty has decreed that you be summoned to court immediately!"
Zhang Fan, looking grumpy from just waking up, sat on the bed with messy hair and sleepy eyes.
He let several maids busily help him change clothes and wash up.
After all that trouble!
In a daze, Zhang Fan was practically half-carried by several eunuchs in a sedan chair, swaying and staggering all the way to the outside of the Qilin Hall.
Inside and outside the main hall, civil and military officials had already gathered.
however.
The officials around him, upon seeing Zhang Fan approach, all moved aside as if avoiding a plague, trying to keep their distance from the immortal master as much as possible.
Zhang Fan, however, paid no attention to these cold stares.
He yawned widely, then very familiarly put his arm around Eunuch Li's shoulder, and began to address him as "brother" without any regard for decorum.
"Hey, Lao Li, you've worked so hard so early in the morning..."
As they were talking.
Zhang Fan quietly took out a small gold ingot and stuffed it directly into Eunuch Li's palm.
This scene, witnessed by the surrounding officials, immediately drew deep contempt!
The dignified Immortal Master of the Great Qin Dynasty actually put his arm around a eunuch and even engaged in such bribery in public!
This is utterly disgraceful!
These upright and virtuous officials have always disdained associating with eunuchs!
Zhang Fan didn't care what these old fogies thought. He leaned close to Eunuch Li's ear and whispered, puzzled, "..."
"Old Li, what's gotten into you today? Why do you insist on calling me to the morning court?"
"Didn't we just finalize the matter of sending more troops to Japan a couple of days ago? Why is Zheng-ge calling me so early in the morning?"
With practiced ease, Eunuch Li slipped the gold into his sleeve, his smile instantly becoming even more obsequious.
He glanced around, lowered his voice, and reminded them with a slightly serious expression:
"Oh dear, my Master Zhang, I truly had no idea this time!"
"but……"
Eunuch Li leaned closer and muttered in a low voice:
"I just saw that quite a few people from the Black Ice Platform have come to the outside of Zhangtai Palace today, and the atmosphere is very tense! Immortal Master, you must be careful later, this divine will... you must not try to guess it casually!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan immediately gave Eunuch Li a knowing look.
He nodded in deep agreement!
Then!
He yawned nonchalantly, barely tightening his belt, and walked lazily into the Qilin Hall.
All the civil and military officials were standing at attention!
Only Zhang Fan looked around and randomly picked a red lacquered dragon pillar. He leaned against the pillar, closed his eyes, and began to rest.
Not long after.
With a majestic shout, the morning court session officially began.
Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne, dressed in a black dragon robe.
Without wasting any words, he grimly pulled out a secret letter and coldly tossed it to Eunuch Li below:
"read!"
"Let all the officials listen: this is the top-secret investigation report sent back by Yu Miaoyan, the commander of the Black Ice Guard, via urgent dispatch!"
