Li Siping looked at Cai Yan, waiting for Cai Yan to speak.
Cai Yan looked like she had done something wrong, her face was a little embarrassed, and she didn't speak so fluently.
"A few days ago, um, my husband said that Mr. Chang'an had done something bad. Do you still remember?"
Li Si also looked a little embarrassed and said, "What are you talking about?"
At that time, Li Si was beaten into a pig's head by the First Emperor because he accused Ying Chengyu of rebelling.
Later, due to an accident on the tower, all the noble children were arrested by Ying Chengyu and sent to Tingwei Prison. The Tingwei Prison was filled up, and they felt unhappy and hated Ying Chengyu.
She once shouted in front of Cai Yan that she wanted to make Ying Chengxun look good and seek revenge on Ying Chengxuan.
So far, I have not been able to avenge myself, and I have even surrendered to the enemy.
"I saw that my husband was extremely angry and wanted to help him take revenge, so I cast a witchcraft on Mr. Chang'an."
"...Witchcraft." Li Si forced a smile and said, "What kind of witchcraft was cast?"
"Chang'an Jun is full of energy and energy. I tried my best, but I just made Chang An Jun sneeze for a day."
"...The imperial doctor ordered Xia Wuji to look around and ask questions, but he couldn't see any symptoms. It turns out it was you who did it."
Cai Yan nodded and said worriedly: "This won't cause trouble for your husband."
Cai Yan looked unnatural just now, not because she was frightened because she thought Li Si was cold-blooded, but when she heard Li Si naturally saying that she would die if she offended Ying Chengyu, she was a little frightened when she thought about what she had done in the past.
At first, she wanted to keep this matter buried in her heart and not talk to anyone else.
But today I heard that Li Si's general Ying Chengyu and the First Emperor were mentioned together and compared.
Cai Yan was afraid that some witches would find traces of Ying Chengji's magic and bring disaster to her family, so she had to speak out.
Back in Chu State, a country with bold folk customs, Cai Yan was able to not only take good care of herself and her children when her husband Li Si went to the Jixia Academy of Qi for many years to study, but she was also able to save enough money for Li Si to study, relying only on luck and hard work. But it can't be done.
Witchcraft is very popular in Chu State, with everyone from the princes to the common people believing in witchcraft.
For Qu Yuan, who held a high position in the Chu State, the most distinguished thing was not his official position as a Sanlu official, but his status as a great shaman who commanded all the shamans in the Chu State.
In the Chu State, witchcraft was as pervasive as the laws of Qin. For injuries and illnesses, witch doctors were consulted, for battles divination was sought, and for strategies, witches were consulted.
Cai Yan is just a witch.
"It's okay, just tell her." Li Si comforted Cai Yan, adjusted her clothes, picked up the clothes and put them on.
He was wearing a black satin brocade gown, embroidered with gold thread, which reached from the neck to the ankles. It was a one-piece garment.
"Isn't it time to take a rest today? What is your husband doing in this way?"
When Cai Yan saw Li Si dressed like this, she knew that her husband was going out.
This kind of all-in-one clothing looks neat, but it is inconvenient to do things. Li Si never wears this kind of clothing at home, only wears it when going out.
"I'm going to go to Xianyang Prison and report this matter to Lord Chang'an as soon as possible."
"Let's go after dinner."
"No, let's eat again when we come back."
In just a few words, Cai Yan's awe for Ying Chengyu deepened.
Li Si was in such a hurry, moving so quickly that he didn't even bother to eat. In the past, he would only appear when he had something important to report to the First Emperor.
"It's causing trouble to my husband."
"You and I are one, so what foreign language can I say?"
…
Boom~
The bronze golden bell hanging on the thick crossbar was struck and the bell tolled.
"Gan Xian's nephew was arrested, and Bao Bailing was also arrested when he went to visit him before. I thought that His Majesty would also arrest that Zhuzi and send him to Xianyang Prison, so that the situation would be stabilized. But Lu Xu was killed on the balcony again, and his whole family was imprisoned. I am very angry.
, I don’t know what you guys think.”
This was a very high-level banquet. Sitting at the head table was a middle-aged man with shaggy beard and hair and angry eyes.
There were a dozen people sitting on the left and right sides of the table. They all frowned and put their hands on the table. The hands under the table were clenched in fists.
The tables used for this banquet are all made of high-quality rosewood. If you observe carefully, you can see the bright luster on the rosewood tables.
There is a saying that an inch of sandalwood is an inch of gold. Although this heavy rosewood desk cannot be exchanged for the same amount of gold, it can be exchanged for one-fifth of the weight of gold without any problem.
This amount of gold is enough for a person to live happily in the gold-selling cave of the balcony for half a year, but now it is randomly placed on the dining table in front of everyone.
The cups, plates, bowls, and lamps placed on the rosewood table are also made of high-quality ceramics. They are smooth and round without any edges and corners, and the paint color is deep and flawless.
There is also a small bronze cauldron on each table. Under the small cauldron is a round solid bronze container, in which neat square-shaped pure black charcoal is burning.
The small bronze cauldron is cooked with fragrant meat without any fishy smell.
Meals with bells ringing and cauldrons ringing are the highest pomp in ancient times, even a monarch's banquet was nothing more than that.
The third man from the left used a spoon to stir the small cauldron, watching the rich soup slide down Mu Shao.
He said: "You are all men. Which one of you has never been to the balcony? That guy is doing surveillance on the balcony. He knows how many secrets we have. If we don't get rid of him, who can eat with peace of mind?"
Next to him were five fat men with short builds and fat faces. Judging from their faces, it was obvious that they had no shortage of food and drink. They kept picking up the meat from the cauldron with chopsticks and were sweating profusely from eating.
I took a sip of cold wine and said the word "please" first.
He opened his clothes, revealing his white and tender belly chest, and said: "I have told you before that this Zhuzi has a great request, but you just don't listen. His words about being a noble during the wax sacrifice are definitely not a joke."
Opposite to the right, a person slapped the table in agreement and shouted loudly, causing drops of wine to drip on the table.
"None of our families has worked hard in the Qin Kingdom for decades, and the three Bai Mengxi families have been in power since the time of Mu Gong. With so many people, why do we have to give up to this? There is no need to say more today, it is just about fighting. The old Qin people never
Gabby!”
"..."
Everyone at the table spoke one after another, and most of them spoke fiercely, wanting to kill Ying Chenglong.
A few moderates said that Shuzi was His Majesty's brother after all, so they killed Li Si, who was practicing favoritism and bending the law, and then cleaned up the building. Then they went to the Guowei Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion to remove the Shuzi from his official positions and let him out of Xianyang Prison.
It’s hard to sing with a single palm.
This banquet, which gathered the heads of the top families in Xianyang, seemed to have turned into a declaration of war against Ying Chengyu.
After everyone's crusade came to an end, the middle-aged man at the main seat looked at an old man who had not spoken and was eating his food slowly.
"Tsunari-kun?"
The old man cast his doubtful eyes at the host. There was a piece of soft and delicious venison on his chopsticks.
The middle-aged man pointed at the heads of the aristocratic families on both sides and said with a smile: "All the gentlemen have spoken, but Mr. Gangcheng did not say anything. This is not beautiful. Mr. Gangcheng could be just like the Meng family, standing on the side of the Zhuzi."
