The next day!

In Xianyang City!

Eight Young Master's Mansion.

In the corridor, Li Si came quickly with a bamboo slip in hand and presented the confession obtained from the interrogation of the prisoner.

"Eighth Young Master, this is the latest confession from the interrogation."

When Ying Ziye heard this, he looked at the bamboo slips.

There was no substantial progress in the confession. According to the description, nothing unusual happened at the scene, and there were no forces or strangers around.

All the soldiers also saw with their own eyes that the Yin soldiers appeared and rushed to kill the team transporting food and wages!

No matter how they resisted, they were unable to cause any harm to the Yin soldiers.

Let the Yin soldiers steal the food and salary easily...

"hehe!"

Ying Ziye sneered twice and said in a leisurely voice: "Such a method can only be called a trick."

"Master Li, come with me."

After saying that, Ying Ziye turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Although Li Si was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly followed.

"Your Highness, what are you...?"

Li Si looked at Ying Ziye stopping by the pond with a puzzled look on his face, and asked in confusion.

"hehe!"

Ying Ziye smiled softly and took out a piece of gold from his arms.

"I wonder if the Prime Minister can recognize this thing?"

Li Si looked at Ying Ziye's palm and said doubtfully, "It should be gold."

He didn't understand why Ying Ziye asked like this, but according to his inspection, it was indeed gold!

Ying Ziye smiled slightly and took out a bowl of water from the pond.

"Presumably this pool of water is almost the same as that of rainwater, right?"

While talking, Ying Ziye casually threw the so-called 'gold' into the porcelain bowl.

Tsk~

As white smoke rose, the gold thrown into the porcelain bowl disappeared into the water at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving no trace!

"This...what the hell is going on???"

Li Si exclaimed and looked at Ying Ziye in disbelief.

When Ying Ziye heard this, he smiled softly and said: "This thing is called Shui Xiaojin. It melts when it meets water and burns when it meets fire."

boom!

There was a roar in Li Si's mind!

At this moment, he finally understood what was going on!

"Could it be said that this batch of gold was switched before it was transported?"

Ying Ziye nodded slightly: "Eighty percent so."

Only in this way can we explain why the food and wages mysteriously disappeared when the Yin soldiers took advantage of the passage to kill the escort team.

Hearing this, Li Si was very angry and said: "It seems that there is a big rat in the Qin Empire, and he actually puts his evil thoughts above food and salary!"

Ying Ziye smiled slightly and said, "Prime Minister, there is no need to be so angry."

"Maybe, with the help of this matter, we can catch a lot of big fish..."

…

The next day!

Several figures came from the city gate, riding horses and galloping.

On the royal road, it was as fast as the wind, and no one dared to block it along the way.

The journey was smooth, and he was identified at the imperial city gate and rushed into Xianyang Palace.

"Report!"

"Eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Eight hundred miles urgent!"

A figure flew to the entrance of Xianyang Palace. It had a cold face and a slender yet towering figure, revealing the ferocious aura of a hundred battlefields.

Although she is a woman, she is very handsome!

Everyone in the court couldn't help but stare at him.

It is Bai Ying's command, the Iron Women's Army.

"Your Majesty, great victory at the border!"

The Iron Detachment held up a scroll with both hands and bowed to the ground.

But he staggered and almost fell.

However, the strong willpower is extremely tenacious, and the Iron Detachment of Women still holds on.

"Send it up!"

"Thank you for your hard work, soldier. Come, take her down to recuperate and take good care of her!"

After the First Emperor finished speaking, the eunuch beside him hurriedly stepped forward to take the secret box.

Several other eunuchs helped the Iron Detachment to retreat.

Opening the scroll, it clearly recorded the details of the victory in the borderland.

Looking at the messages above, a smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Ying Zheng's lips.

But suddenly, an imperceptible solemnity flashed across the face of the First Emperor.

But soon, the First Emperor regained his previous joyful expression and said loudly: "The wolf tribe's army was wiped out by the Qin cavalry outside the Great Wall."

"Today, General Bai Ying has requested an order and is willing to lead the Iron Lady Army deep into the grassland in order to wipe out the wolf tribe!"

The voice fell.

All the civil and military ministers of the dynasty showed happy faces.

"A mere barbarian wolf tribe wants to invade our country, the Qin Dynasty. It's an arrogant act!"

"Now we have a great victory on the frontier, and countless wolves have been killed. What a joy and congratulation!"

"With Your Majesty here and the sky protecting you, Da Qin will be invincible in the world!"

However, what they don't know is.

However, the First Emperor concealed the news about Iron Buddha Tu.

This great victory was brought about by a mysterious army.

It was they who rushed and collapsed the wolf tribe's military camp, killed most of the wolf tribe's cavalry, and made the wolf tribe fearful and lose their will to fight...

At the end of the court meeting, the civil and military officials dispersed.

Just as Li Si was about to leave, a decree made him stop.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Your Majesty has a decree for you to go to Zhangtai Palace for an audience."

The eunuch in charge announced the decree.

"Here!"

Li Si was confused and didn't know what was going on.

Inside Zhangtai Palace!

The First Emperor was sitting on a high platform, holding in his hand the intelligence scroll brought by the Iron Detachment of Women earlier.

But at this moment, the First Emperor's face no longer showed the joy he had when he went to court.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

While Li Si bowed respectfully, he also looked at the face of the First Emperor.

When he noticed the scroll in the hands of the First Emperor, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

Is there something hidden about the war in the north?

"Your Majesty...but what happened?"

The First Emperor did not speak, but handed the scroll ordering the eunuchs into Li Si's hands.

Li Si was curious and unfolded the scroll.

Until...

Li Si saw the real reason for this victory.

"What!!!"

"this……"

"Your Majesty, is this the same army that destroyed the Mo family?"

The First Emperor Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "According to the above description, this is not the case. There are so many mysterious forces in the Qin Dynasty today. This matter must be found out as soon as possible!"

Now there are remnants of the Six Kingdoms waiting for an opportunity, intending to disrupt the Qin Empire.

Moreover, the murderers of the Soul-Eating Prison were born, and were suppressed and organized by the mysterious strong man to form the underworld, which was extremely dangerous.

Previously, a mysterious cavalry appeared in the Mohist Government City, and now another mysterious cavalry appeared on the Great Wall of China!

Both are extremely powerful, appearing and disappearing like ghosts.

Thinking of this, the First Emperor Ying Zheng frowned and said: "How is the investigation on the case of Yin soldiers robbing food and wages?"

Li Si tried his best to calm down the surprise in his heart, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we have some clues about this matter."

"His Royal Highness the Eighth Young Master and Wei Chen went to where the Yin soldiers took advantage of the passage and found clues. After returning, he took out an object that looked very similar to gold in front of Wei Chen and threw it into the water. It dissipated in the water within a moment."

"And this thing is called Shuixiaojin. It turns into water and burns when it comes into contact with fire!"

"I suspect that this batch of gold must have been switched by someone before being transported."

"What!!!"

The First Emperor's face suddenly turned cold, and he could not imagine the cause and effect in his heart.

"Let Ziye go ahead and investigate this case thoroughly. Anyone related to this case will be punished without mercy!"

"Here!"
Chapter completed!
