Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Xinzheng

After Zhang Yuanqing was pushed and injured by him last time, Zhang Han was ready to die. However, when the king wanted to punish him later, it was the Marquis who pleaded for him, thus saving his life.

Since that day, Zhang Han has been tracking down the person behind the assassination.

Today, he finally found out some things.

"Langzhongling, this is it."

"My subordinates learned that a few people came here three months ago, but they never go out and don't interact with the neighbors, so no one is familiar with them."

"But I heard a piece of news that they often prepare meals and take them away. As for where they take them, no one knows."

Zhang Han stood in front of the courtyard gate, listened to what the people below said, and suddenly pushed the door open.

"Surround them. If anyone resists, kill them on the spot."

"promise."

"Generals, what's the matter?"

Hearing the sound, three men came out.

One of them asked cautiously, bowing.

As he spoke, he took out the money he had on him and handed it over.

Zhang Han didn't reach out to take it, but just stared at the man and said, "Call all your people out, I have something to ask."

The three of them paused, "There are only three of us brothers here."

"Really? Search."

"promise."

The three men were panicked when they saw so many soldiers searching their courtyard, but they did not dare to resist.

Soon, the searchers came back.

"Doctor, there's no one inside, but we found a lot of gold cakes in their room, and there's also a lot of food in the kitchen."

As he spoke, someone came with a small box containing half a box of gold cakes.

Zhang Han took a look and turned to look at the three people: "Are these all yours?"

"Yes, it's the villain's."

"Catch them." Zhang Han ordered his men to arrest the three men without saying a word.

"How can you, common people, possess so many gold cakes? Tell me, who are you?"

The three people were forced to kneel on the ground, looking a little panicked.

"General, this money is really mine. My three brothers used to run a small business, but because Xinzheng was captured, we were afraid, so we sold our shops and moved here."

After hearing this, Zhang Han sneered.

He drew his sword and placed it on the man's neck: "You won't tell me?"

Swish, the sword cut off one of the man's arms.

"what,"

The man screamed in pain, but his body had been held down for a long time and he couldn't move.

Zhang Han ignored this person and turned to ask the other two: "What about you? Will you tell me or not?"

The two men were so flustered that they didn't say a word. Zhang Han didn't waste any time and directly cut off another person's arm with his sword.

"what!"

"Speak, speak, I will speak."

The last person was so frightened that he became incontinent, and Zhang Han took a step back in disgust.

"explain."

"I am a servant of Prime Minister Zhang. On the day Xinzheng was captured, the retainer Dongsheng fled with the young master and his family, and we followed them."

"We have been living here these days, cooking for Mr. Dongsheng and his friends."

"Every time the time comes, Mr. Dongsheng will come and pick up the food."

"Do you know where they live?"

"This little person doesn't know that Mr. Dongsheng never let me know where they live. He always comes here."

"When will he come today?"

"Come over at dinner time."

Zhang Han nodded in satisfaction and said, "Send them to Lu Sheng. The farm is short of workers recently."

"promise."

Three people escorted the three people away quickly.

"Clean up this place. All of you hide around here. When Dongsheng appears, we must capture him."

"promise."

Everything is ready, just waiting for Dongsheng to come.

Dongsheng arrived a little later than yesterday at dinner time. Along the way, he was thinking about finding a way to move to another place in two days.

He walked to the door and opened it: "Is dinner ready for today?"

"Of course I'm ready."

Zhang Han walked out of the room, sword in hand.

"Take it."

Dongsheng turned around to escape, but it was too late.

In the end, he could only be captured.

Zhang Han stood in the courtyard, looking at the somewhat embarrassed Dongsheng and asked, "Tell me, where is Zhang Liang?"

"I don't know."

"Really? From now on, I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them. If I'm not satisfied with your answer to a question, I'll chop off one of your fingers."

"When you've exhausted your fingers, you'll move on to your toes, and finally your limbs."

After saying this, Zhang Han didn't wait for Dongsheng to speak and asked directly: "First question, where is Zhang Liang?"

"I don't know."

Without saying a word, Zhang Han drew his sword and cut off one of Dongsheng's fingers.

"Second question, where is Zhang Liang?"

"I don't know."

Dongsheng gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Han, his forehead already sweating from the pain.

Another sword strike, Zhang Han continued to ask: "Third question, where is Zhang Liang?"

"I don't know."

Another sword strike.

……

Question 7: "Where is Zhang Liang?"

"kill me."

Dongsheng was shaking with pain, looking at Zhang Han with pleading eyes.

However, Zhang Han remained unmoved.

By the time Dongsheng's fingers and toes were cut off, he had fainted from the pain several times and was woken up by the water.

Zhang Han cut off Dongsheng's head with one sword.

"Bury this man."

"promise."

Zhang Han's face became gloomy as he failed to find out Zhang Liang's whereabouts.

He took his men to search the area for a few days, but ultimately found nothing. He then left a few people behind to continue the investigation while he took his men away.

Zhang Liang's place.

That day Dongsheng was late in returning, and Zhang Liang felt something was wrong. He quickly packed up all traces of his residence and left quietly.

After several twists and turns, he finally left Xinzheng.

"Aunt, Father, Mr. Dongsheng, Liangding will avenge you."

At this point, Zhang Liang's road to revenge began.

In Xinzheng, Zhang Han reported what he had found out to Zhang Yuanqing.

Upon learning that Zhang Liang had not been apprehended, Zhang Yuanqing said nothing. Looking at the gloomy Zhang Han, Zhang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, Doctor-in-Chief. Zhang Liang is the most outstanding offspring cultivated by three generations of the Zhang family. How could he be apprehended so easily?"

"There's no need to investigate this person for now. He must have already escaped from Xinzheng by now. There's nothing to be found."

"promise."

After Zhang Han left, Zhang Yuanqing gave Yao Jia a letter of divorce.

Tell Yao Jia that Zhang Liang has escaped and ask Yao Jia to be careful. Zhang Liang is likely to assassinate Yao Jia again.

After it was written, it was sent to Zhao State to be given to Minister Yao Jia.

"I wonder if Lord Yao Jia has managed to convince Guo Kai to deal with Li Mu."

Thinking about this, Zhang Yuanqing stood up and walked out.

"My Lord, are you going out?"

A Da followed Zhang Yuanqing. Ever since Zhang Yuanqing was injured last time, A Da and A Er dared not leave Zhang Yuanqing at the same time. They had to ensure that one of them followed him.

"I heard that Lu Sheng has been researching ways to improve wheat seeds recently. Let's go see if there's any progress."

"promise."

The Qin Dynasty mainly used millet, and wheat was used less, so it was not planted much.

Ever since Zhang Yuanqing handed a farming book to the farmers, they have been studying it all night long.

Knowing that wheat is also a good grain and that it can be ground into flour for consumption with stone mills, farmers began to study wheat.

After Lu Sheng came to Xinzheng, he did not stop. Now he has opened up a piece of land with his farmers, and the selected wheat seeds have been planted.
