The Travelers of the Heavens

In Xianyang, the capital of Qin, the old thief Ying Ji mentioned by Wang Yu was angry, and some bamboo slips were thrown to the ground.

"Who is the thief! Steal all the people's grain depots and arsenals! check! Send extra manpower to investigate!"Ying Ji roared at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

This matter has to start from the day after Wang Yu stole the Xianyang granary and arsenal.

Hu Shang led more than 10,000 troops to assist Bai Qi in thoroughly investigating the case of the destruction of the tomb, and pursued it all night With no clue, he led his troops back to Lantian.

After returning to the camp, he went to the army's grain depot and found that all the food was missing. After many interrogations, no one knew about this, and the news spread. , the people in the army were unstable.

Hu Shang had no choice but to calm down the soldiers and report the matter to Xianyang. By chance, Xianyang's arsenal was on duty this morning, but he found that the Xianyang arsenal, which stored four million pieces of various types of military products, was empty except for rows of empty shelves. Except for the armor and weapons, all the armor and weapons were missing.

The arsenal commander was horrified and hurriedly reported to Yingji. The latter received the report from Hu Shang and the Xianyang arsenal commander and was so shocked that he almost lost his breath. Immediately afterwards, officials from other grain depots reported All the food disappeared, and then there was a scene where Ying Ji became furious.

"this.. Where to start?"

"Yeah yeah"

"All the grain depots and arsenals in Xianyang were stolen overnight. The thieves are really powerful."

"Why.. It’s been a troubled time," the ministers muttered to each other.

"Your Majesty, I found this in an official warehouse." At this time, someone came to the palace and handed over a wooden board.

"This is"Ying Ji looked at the wooden board, who will read this article?

"This is the writing of the State of Wei. I am writing to Lord Xinling of the State of Wei to visit here." A minister who recognized the writing of the State of Wei came forward and said

"ah?"

"Wei State"

"Lord Xinling actually"

As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers were shocked.

Xinling Lord Wei Wuji is well-known among all countries, even in the Qin State. These ministers never dreamed that Xinling Lord would actually play this trick.

"Lord Xinling?!"Ying Ji was also surprised.

"Yes, it is indeed Lord Xinling who wrote the letter," the minister repeated.

Yingji's face turned gloomy. He obviously did not believe that this was Lord Xinling's handiwork. Not to mention Lord Xinling's character, with this method, who in the world can do it today? How much would it cost to steal all the bulk supplies in the core areas heavily guarded by the Qin State without anyone noticing? The total amount of food in these granaries is millions of dan, and the arsenal contains millions of pieces of various military products. Transportation by manpower and vehicles. Could it be that the tiger and wolf divisions of the Qin State were all fools and blind people, and no one noticed during the process?

As for the traitor, Yingji would not consider it at all. Such a large amount of materials must be handled by a high-ranking person. , although the"Four Nobles" are powerful, greedy and domineering, they are all members of their own family. Wei Ran and Mi Rong are his uncles and they have the merit of supporting them. Ying Fu and Ying Kui are brothers from the same mother. It is obviously impossible for them to betray Qin and betray themselves.

As for Fan Ju, how could a down-and-out man possibly betray himself after finally being reused and ascending to a high position?

So who has such an all-powerful means to hide food and military supplies? Stealing them unconsciously, where did these materials go?

Amidst all the confusion, Ying Ji was not sure. He had to shake his head and reorganize his thoughts.

But no matter what Ying Ji thought, there was always one or more things that were not right. It makes sense, but the most unreasonable thing is how so many supplies disappeared without a trace overnight, and is there any connection between the sudden destruction of King Huiwen's tomb and the theft of supplies?

"Your Majesty, General Bai Qi has sent someone back." Just when Ying Ji was thinking hard, this voice brought his thoughts back to reality.

"Pass it in," Ying Ji said.

""At the end of the day, I will pay my respects to the king." One of the generals came in and knelt down on one knee, clasping his fists to salute.

""Free" Ying Ji signaled.

""Yes" the general stood up

"General Bai Qi sent you back. Did you find any clues? Ying Ji asked

"Reporting back to the king, he conducted a night investigation and questioned tens of thousands of soldiers. However, the soldiers all agreed and did not see anyone suspicious approaching the tomb of the late king. They said that the destruction of the tomb of the late king was caused by a fireball falling from the sky," the general said.

"Um?!"Ying Ji obviously did not accept this explanation.

"King.. The last general.. On the same day, I also saw fireballs falling from the sky."Hearing Ying Ji's tone become sharper, the general said tremblingly

"Go down!"Ying Ji drove the general away angrily.

The general who reported the news hurriedly ran out of the hall with three steps and two steps at a time.

"Why"Ying Ji couldn't help but sigh deeply

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fan Ju is very resourceful, how about asking Prime Minister Fan Ju to investigate this matter?" Wei Ran said to Ying Ji, seeing the opportunity to trick Fan Ju.

"you!"After hearing this, Fan Ju's face changed drastically and he pointed at Wei Ran angrily.

"Fan Xiangguo, how are things going in Hedong County?" Ying Ji seemed to have remembered something and asked.

"My king, I have sent capable people to secretly visit Hedong County. I hope I can send back the news soon." Fan Ju respectfully responded to Ying Ji.

"This time the tombs of the late kings were destroyed, Xianyang encountered thieves again, and our Qin State suffered heavy losses. Do you have any advice that can solve the crisis of the Qin State?" Ying Ji nodded and asked the ministers

"Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly and we were unprepared. Please give your Majesty's order to immediately collect grain and grass in Xianyang and at the same time transfer grain and grass from other counties to assist Xianyang." Qin Chen Wei Zhuang said

"Um"Ying Ji nodded slightly after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work. I've rashly collected food from people's homes. What should I do if it leads to a civil uprising?" Some people questioned Wei Zhuang's countermeasures.

"This is just a temporary measure. Once the food and grass from other counties arrive in Xianyang, we can return it to the people in full," Wei Zhuang explained.

"Marquis Rang, at this time of national calamity, shouldn’t Marquis Rang donate generously to solve the urgent needs of our country Qin?" Ying Ji had not yet decided on a plan, but he saw that Fan Ju was about to attack Wei Ran again.

"Dog thief! What do you mean by this!"When Wei Ran heard this, he was furious.

"Ranghou's fiefdom is rich, and there is a lot of money and food in the palace. You are the Queen Mother's brother and my king's uncle. Shouldn't you share the worries of my king and the Queen Mother?" Fan Ju's words were already very clear. Wei Ran, please bring the money.

"Dog thief! you.. How dare you try to trick me! I"

"Brother! Don't do anything!"

"Uncle, please calm down!"

"Marquis Rang calmed down"

"Marquis Rang, please calm down."

Wei Ran was about to beat Fan Ju immediately. When Mi Rong saw that the situation was about to get out of control, he quickly pulled Wei Ran away. The brothers Ying Fu and Ying Kui and some ministers tried to dissuade Wei Ran.

Ying Ji watched this scene coldly.

"King! This dog thief plotted to kill the old minister, please ask the king to uphold justice for the old minister." Under the persuasion of everyone, Wei Ran calmed down a little and then put pressure on Ying Ji.

"My uncle openly beats the minister in court, where will you put me? Ying Ji asked coldly.

"King, I"Wei Ran was speechless

"Your Majesty, my brother is so angry that he never meant to yell at the court. Please forgive me." Mi Rong quickly interceded for his brother.

"Brother Wang, my uncle definitely did not mean to offend. I hope that Brother Wang will see my uncle's great military exploits in the past and forgive him for his unintentional mistake." Brothers Ying Fu and Ying Kui also interceded for Wei Ran.

"I'm tired, you all can go down," Ying Ji said with a frown.

""Yes, I am waiting to retire." All the ministers left one after another.

Fan Ju had just left the hall and was led back to the hall by an eunuch before he had gone far.
