Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 33 Knife [Second update, please collect and read]

Someone cited someone who violated the new law?
  Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, and a look of confusion flashed across his face. This matter shouldn't be a big deal to this little official, right?

After all, since the new law came into effect, there have been one or two people breaking the new law every month.

He glanced at the junior official and saw the panic on his face and the fear deep in his eyes, and he immediately understood something.

The person who reported it was not a good person, nor was he a small person; the person who was reported was also not a small person, and this report involved a lot.

"who?"

Chen Ye's voice was a little serious. He needed to know who it was before he could think of a targeted solution.

Just as the clerk was about to speak, a burst of laughter came from inside the yamen. There was a hint of sadness in the voice, as if he was feeling some regret.

Chen Ye immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

Heijia.

He instantly understood who the person Heijia wanted to report was.

Prince.

As he expected, this was not a simple, ordinary report, but a logical trap aimed at him, Shang Yang, maybe even the prince, but in the end it was a logical trap against the new law.

Hei Jia walked up to Chen Ye with a look of regret on his face. He looked as weak as an eggplant beaten by frost.

He looked at Chen Ye and said: "Chen Sikou, the person who made the report is not me, but he has some relationship with me."

Heijia's voice was full of guilt: "I wanted to dissuade him from coming, but this person didn't listen to what I said at all. He kept saying that he wanted to report that person, and said..."

"He also said that Chief Zuo said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and Chen Sikou is fair and honest. How can he protect someone who violates the new law?"

"I have no choice but to bring him here."

Chen Ye's expression remained unchanged, but he was thinking about the countermeasures for this matter in his heart.

"Oh?"

He pretended to be calm on the surface, pretending that he had not guessed anything and said, "I just don't know where the person is? Who are you going to report for violating the new law?"

Heijia looked in Chen Ye's ear with a slightly serious expression: "He said he wanted to raise the crown prince!"

"There are a lot of hesitations in his words, but it seems that there is indeed evidence to prove that the prince did say something that slandered the new law."

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Hei Jia, then smiled again: "Is that so?"

He sighed: "It's just that Mr. Hei must also know that if this matter involves the prince, then it is not something I can determine."

Chen Ye made a quick decision: "Where is that person?"

Before Hei Jia could react, Chen Ye immediately said, "I was confused. Since Hei Gong is here, that person must also be here."

He looked at the little official beside him: "Take this person with you and follow me into the palace to meet your Majesty!"

Then he looked at Heijia again: "Heijia, together?"

Heijia looked at the decisive and straightforward Chen Ye and was speechless for a moment, but he couldn't find any problem anywhere.

In this case, he could only follow Chen Ye into the palace.

But once he entered the palace, his previous plans were in vain. After all, he could pretend to be ignorant of everything before, but he could no longer do so. Even if he can really pretend, so what?
  Will the king care?

Will the prince care?

It was at this moment that Heijia realized that this was Gongzi Qian's plan. He must have given up on him when he was asked to take action, right?
  He smiled bitterly. Fortunately, the young master was there, many old nobles were there, and his family background was there. Even the king could not kill him easily.

"Forget it, then I will go into the palace with Chen Sikou!"

Chen Ye cupped his hands, and then said: "Okay, then please wait for me, Mr. Hei. I will leave my official duties and go with Mr. Hei immediately."

After saying that, he walked into the house. He just glanced at the clerk, who immediately withdrew clearly.

秦宫
  Qin Xiaogong's expression changed, and then he whispered: "What?"

"Chen Ye asked you to go to the palace and tell me that Hei Jia and other old nobles were opposed to the new law, so they secretly sent someone to promote the prince to slander the new law?"

Qin Xiaogong almost immediately realized the murderous intention contained in this matter.

The prince is still young, and Chen Ye is in the spotlight now. If he is insulted like this at this time, then they and Shang Yang will definitely become enemies!

And if Shang Yang lets these two people go, Xinfa and even Chen Ye will be the first to lose their footing!
  Why?

Because Chen Ye is fair and just! Even Shang Yang's tribe punished a few of them, and only then did they gain fame and the new law.

If Shang Yang raised his hand high but Chen Ye didn't stop him, wouldn't it mean that Chen Ye was just trying to gain fame?
  But if you don't raise your hand, then the relationship between the two will be over.

Of course there is another possibility.
  Shang Yang raised his hand, and Chen Ye acquiesced. Then Shang Yang recalled the tribesmen who had been killed before, and his anger began to build up in his heart. Why was he able to be arrogant to himself, but not to his tribesmen?

These are three situations, no matter which one is considered good
  The clerk was also in a panic.

Qin Xiaogong waved his hand to let him go down, and then directly asked the chamberlain beside him to call the prince into the hall. He wanted to ask what words the prince had said to slander the new law!
  Is there any room for maneuver in this?

Zuosu Changfu
  Shang Yang suddenly stood up from the ground, with a look of astonishment on his face: "What? You said someone went to Sikou today to raise the prince to slander the new law?"

"And Heijia is also following?"

He had almost pulled off the beard on his chin just now, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Heijia actually has the courage?"

Shang Yang murmured to himself: "How brave. I only dare to say that the prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty, but he dares to do this. Does he even risk his own life in order to stop my new law? "

This news must not be hidden, and it will definitely reach the ears of the monarch and the prince.

By then, will the prince and the monarch let Heijia go?

He looked at the boy next to him: "Prepare the car! I want to enter the palace to see you!"

No matter when or where, rumors and gossip spread the fastest.

In less than an hour after Chen Ye, Hei Jia and the whistleblower left the Sikou Yamen, half of Yueyang City knew that there was a man with great courage who had accused the prince of slandering the new law.
  Suddenly, everyone was looking forward to it
  Looking forward to how Chen Sikou and Zuo Shuchang will handle this matter.

秦宫
  Qin Xiaogong, Shang Yang, Chen Ye, Hei Jia, Lin Jun, and the prince all gathered in the hall, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Looking at Lin Jun who was kneeling on the ground, Qin Xiaogong's voice was a little cold.

"Is it you who exposes the prince for slandering the new law?"
