"What happened?"
Meng Yi saw that the person who came was flustered, and his face was also left with a mark as if he had been beaten.
He was furious.
The person who was beaten up explained.
"There's a group of people outside. They said they're here to give us money and food.”
"But they're beating people up outside!”
Meng Yi frowned.
His Majesty only sent him here, so why would there be people from the Imperial Court?
He felt that things were not good, so he went out to take a look first.
When Meng Yi and the other villagers went out, they found out that it was actually the people from the eighteenth prince's mansion!
"Why are you here?"
Meng Yi's question instantly stunned the arrogant group of people.
They had all come under orders to let these veterans remember Huhai's great kindness.
However, when they arrived, they found that there were only a few people in the village guarding outside.
Like master, like dog.
Huhai's subordinates immediately asked all the villagers to come out and meet them.
These villagers were all veterans who had retired from the battlefield.
How could he see such a despicable person being so arrogant?
Immediately, someone came forward to argue, but they were all old, weak, sick, and disabled.
After a few sentences, he was beaten up by Huhai's evil slaves.
Then, there was the matter of the villagers running to Meng Yi for help.
Now…
Huhai's men were all stunned by Meng Yi's angry expression.
"Speak!"
"Who ordered you to come here? Who ordered you to hit him?"
Under Meng Yi's pressure, Huhai's lackey finally revealed the truth.
However, Meng Yi laughed sarcastically after hearing it.
"Humph!"
"You said that the eighteenth prince sent you to visit the veterans, so you brought money and food.”
"Then why didn't you leave after coming here?”
"Why did you have to make a big fuss and make all the villagers come out to see you!”
"In my opinion, the real purpose of you coming here is just to meet.”
"Giving money and food is fake. The real purpose is to let these veterans thank your eighteenth prince!”
Meng Yi pointed his large hand at the group of evil slaves in front of him, who were gnashing their teeth after he saw through their scheme.
He waved his hand and immediately gave the order.
"Capture them all and bring them back!"
This group of people did not resist at all and were captured and taken away. The villagers who witnessed all of this felt very relieved.
It was truly a sight to behold.
Their great emperor had actually given birth to such a useless son who had come to their territory to make his presence known.
However, there was another benefit to the appearance of this group of evil slaves!
This made the local villagers feel even more grateful for the crops and two irrigation tools that Ying Zheng had asked Meng Yi to bring.
With these four immortal items, it would be a true salvation for them.
They would forever remember the Emperor's kindness and Great Qin's Beast!
……
Meng Yi returned to Xianyang at night.
The group of evil slaves he brought back were also imprisoned.
He was about to write a memorial and hand it over to Ying Zheng tomorrow.
Suddenly!
A cold wind blew.
Meng Yi frowned. He saw a person wearing a black robe with dark red patterns on it standing in front of him.
"Lord Meng."
A familiar voice sounded. Meng Yi saw that the person who had come was Zhao Gao.
"Zhao Gao, how dare you barge into my mansion at night!”
Zhao Gao said with a sinister smile on his face.
"Zhao Gao also heard that Lord Meng captured the servants of the eighteen princes and came here to ask what crime they had committed.”
Meng Yi snorted in disdain.
"Don't you know the reason? If you came here tonight to beg me not to report this matter to His Majesty, then you can scram now!”
The smile on Zhao Gao's face disappeared a little.
"The 18th prince did something bad with good intentions. Lord Meng, why do you need to alarm His Majesty over such a small matter?”
Meng Yi's eyes were filled with disgust towards Zhao Gao.
"This is a serious crime of deceiving His Majesty! Since you think it's a small matter, why did you specially come to my residence?”
He had said all the good words, but Meng Yi still refused to give him face. Zhao Gao's face also turned cold and he said even more bluntly.
"Lord Meng, don't you see the situation in the court? Young Master Fu Su had never escaped the Emperor's favor. Although the 18th Prince was young, he was the Emperor's most favored son. In the future, he might be able to ascend to that position.”
"His Majesty doesn't have many vassals by his side. Other than Ge Nia who defected, there are only you and me.”
"If Meng tribe is willing to support the eighteenth prince, Meng tribe's position will definitely be number one in the country of Qin.”
Meng Yi's eyes widened.
He didn't expect Zhao Gao to actually dare to say such disgraceful words!
With a bang, he slammed the table.
"Zhao Gao! I knew that you had wild ambitions and formed cliques for your own benefit. However, my Meng family has been loyal for generations and is loyal to the master of the Great Qin Empire, not any young master or heir.”
"Do you think you can convince my Meng tribe to join you with just a few words?”
"If you don't leave quickly, don't blame me for calling for help!”
Seeing Meng Yi's anger, Zhao Gao knew that his advice was useless.
He could only go back and prepare to face Ying Zheng's wrath the next day.
Zhao Gao's shadow flashed and disappeared in the darkness.
Meng Yi's gaze was somewhat deep as he looked into the darkness.
This was the first time he had known that Zhao Gao's martial arts were so powerful.
He could actually avoid the guards outside and enter without making a sound.
Zhao Gao knew that no one else could hear what they had just said.
Therefore…
Even if Meng Yi reported Zhao Gao, he wouldn't be able to produce any evidence.
He turned around and thought.
He looked down at the unfinished memorial on the table.
It seemed that he could only add fuel to the fire in the memorial and let His Majesty punish Zhao Gao and the others!
Hence, he decided to do it.
Meng Yi had been assisting Ying Zheng for so many years, and this was the first time he had written something in a memorial with embellishment, waiting to be reported tomorrow.
