Hearing this, Meng Tian did not hesitate at all. She immediately cupped her fists and accepted Ying Zheng's order.
However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered Meng Yi's investigation.
After considering for a moment, Meng Tian decided to tell Ying Zheng about this.
"Your Majesty, when I came back this morning, I heard from my brother Meng Yi that the last place Lord Chang Ping went to before he disappeared seemed to be the wine shop that you often patronized.”
"Do you need me to investigate that wine shop?”
Meng Tian took a step forward and probed.
He had been paying attention to Ying Zheng's expression all the time, and was very careful when he spoke, for fear that he would say something wrong and make Ying Zheng furious.
When a ruler was enraged, millions of corpses would fall and blood would flow thousands of miles!
"Lord Changping went to the tavern in the west of the city before he died?”
"What was he doing in the tavern?"
"I will personally investigate the matter of the tavern. You only need to monitor Lü Xiangbang.”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, as he thought about it and ordered.
Meng Tian immediately accepted the order and left the Xianyang Palace Hall.
Looking at Meng Tian's receding figure, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
He really could not figure out why Lord Chang Ping would go to Lin Xuan's wine shop before he died.
Although the official news said that Lord Chang Ping had gone missing, everyone with discerning eyes knew that Lord Chang Ping had not appeared for such a long time. He must have been killed.
Lord Chang Ping was once a member of the Palace of Hua Yang, so Lu Buwei was the most suspicious of his death.
The State of Qin was founded on the basis of the law. Without sufficient evidence, even Ying Zheng could not convict Lu Buwei!
Ying Zheng had never had a good impression of Xiong Qi, the Lord of Chang Ping, because he was from Chu. When the State of Qin attacked Chu in the future, he would be a hidden danger.
Most importantly, why did Lord Chang Ping go to the tavern before he died? Was Lord Chang Ping's death related to Lin Xuan?
Confused, Ying Zheng changed into casual clothes and headed to the tavern in the west of the city.
……
An hour later.
The sun set in the west, and the twilight deepened.
In Xianyang, Qin Country, the wine shop in the west of the city was brightly lit.
When Ying Zheng arrived at the tavern as he wished, Li Ji was about to close the door and go upstairs to study the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique with Lin Xuan.
After seeing Young Master Shang from afar, Li Ji immediately opened the door and told Lin Xuan the news of Young Master Shang's arrival.
"Old Shang, why did you come so late today?”
"And why are you alone? Where's Old Zhao?"
Lin Xuan asked Young Master Shang with a smile.
He had a good impression of Young Master Shang. Moreover, the papyrus, sweet potatoes, and saltpeter were all waiting for Young Master Shang to sell them for a share of the profits. Therefore, the two of them were now considered partners, grasshoppers on the same rope.
"I happened to pass by after dinner. I saw that your lights were on, so I came to take a look.”
"Old Zhao has gone to Han Country's Xinzheng. Shopkeeper Lin, don't worry. With Old Zhao's skills, it won't be a problem for him to save Miss Flame Spirit Ji.”
"According to the time, Old Zhao should be back soon.”
Young Master Shang sat down in a familiar seat by the window and raised his hand to indicate that Lin Xuan did not need to be busy making supper. He could just drink with him.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan did not stand on ceremony. He took two pots of old wine from the kitchen and sat opposite Young Master Shang.
The bright moonlight shone through the paper window and shone on Young Master Shang, making his long hair shine like silver.
The night wind blew, causing Lin Xuan's clothes to flutter.
Soon, Lin Xuan realized that Young Master Shang had something on his mind.
Therefore, after drinking the first pot of wine, he immediately went straight to the point.
"Young Master Shang's sudden visit tonight must not be just to drink with me, right?”
"We're old friends. If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to hide it.”
"As long as I know, I will tell you everything I know!”
Lin Xuan personally poured a glass of wine for Young Master Shang and patted his chest as he promised.
He hated it when people stopped talking halfway.
"Since Shopkeeper Lin has said so, then I'll get straight to the point.”
"I heard from the guards in the manor that someone died near your tavern a few days ago.”
"I wonder if it's true or not?"
Young Master Shang asked curiously.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still told him the truth about how Lord Chang Ping was killed.
"That's true, about five days ago.”
"At that time, I had already closed for the day when a few customers suddenly barged into the tavern.”
"Then, the young man in the lead took a fancy to Gongsun girl and wanted to snatch her away.”
"This Lin was instantly furious when he saw the situation. Who can tolerate snatching people into my house?”
"Then, I killed all the guests. In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, I burned their bodies in the western suburbs.”
Lin Xuan said calmly as if he was talking about something extremely simple.
He didn't say that the young man in the lead was Chang Pingjun, because it would be difficult to explain.
Young Master Shang nodded his head and did not pursue the details.
He knew that Lin Xuan loved his wife as much as his life and placed special importance on women, so he understood why Lin Xuan wanted to kill Lord Chang Ping.
In Young Master Shang's opinion, let alone Lord Chang Ping, even if it was Lu Buwei, as long as he dared to covet Miss Gongsun, Lin Xuan would definitely dare to kill him!
"After destroying the evidence, no one will come looking for trouble with you, right?”
"Shopkeeper Lin, if you need it, I can send some people to patrol here to protect the tavern.”
"Miss Gongsun is a beauty of the heavens. It is inevitable that she will cause some unnecessary trouble. I'm afraid this kind of thing will happen again in the future.”
Young Master Shang said worriedly.
He was still waiting for Lin Xuan to leave the tavern one day and go to the officialdom to help him unify the world.
Therefore, he would never allow Lin Xuan to die in the wine shop!
"No worries."
"I will kill as many as come."
"From the moment I brought Miss Gongsun to the tavern, I was ready to kill her.”
Lin Xuan smiled and rejected Young Master Shang's good intentions.
He did not want someone to monitor his life all day long.
"Alright."
"Shopkeeper Lin, if you need anything in the future, feel free to tell me.”
"Miss Gongsun is probably already waiting anxiously upstairs. This young master won't delay your business.”
Young Master Shang smiled and patted Lin Xuan's shoulder before turning around to leave the wine shop.
He originally did not want to disturb Lin Xuan late at night, but there were many doubts about Lord Chang Ping's death. Some of the spearheads were pointed at Lin Xuan, so he had no choice but to visit late at night.
After coming, he realized that it was a false alarm. Lord Chang Ping was killed by Lin Xuan because of Miss Gongsun.
"Young Master Shang, Shopkeeper Lin, how did you know I was coming back tonight?”
"Shopkeeper Lin, I've brought him back for you. He's in the carriage.”
"In order to prevent her from running away halfway, I used incense. However, Shopkeeper Lin, don't worry. This incense doesn't harm the body at all.”
"If nothing unexpected happens, Miss Flame Spirit Ji should be able to wake up naturally tomorrow morning.”
Old Zhao dismounted and immediately explained to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan nodded and gave Old Zhao a thumbs up. Then, he walked to the carriage with anticipation.
