Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 35: Meng Yi has gained a lot, and the soldiers guarding the city were shocked! Where did all the gold, silver and jewelry come from?
The county magistrate was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of the military commander in front of him, and quickly realized that there was a look of admiration on his face.

"What the general is saying is that Mr. Fusu's ambitions are beyond the control of an old rotten scholar."

"I am ignorant, general, please don't mind."

When the county magistrate mentioned Chunyu Yue, he felt a bit of disdain in his heart.

Although he was only a county magistrate, he had heard some news about Chun Yuyue in Xianyang City.

Because of Liu Feng, the county magistrate was also very dissatisfied with Chunyu Yue.

Meng Yi ignored the county magistrate and watched the cavalry come out of Liu Feng's mansion carrying boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

When all the cavalrymen came out of the house, there were more than twenty boxes filled with gold, silver and jewelry in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Meng Yi had a smile on his face. The money in Liu Feng's house was more than that found in any squire's house in Yufeng County.

"I leave the announcement and appeasing the people to you. I will take this money and return to Xianyang City to resume my life."

Meng Yi watched the county magistrate finish speaking, turned around, reined in his horse and was about to leave.

"General, please give me your surname. I wonder if you can let me know it?"

The county magistrate looked at the general who was leaving in front of him and expressed the questions in his heart.

The general in front of him didn't look like an ordinary general, and he wanted to remember this general's name.

"Meng Yi!"

Meng Yi knew that even if he didn't say anything, it wouldn't take long for the county magistrate to find out.

Meng Yi said his name and urged the horses to leave. The other cavalry packed the boxes and followed Meng Yi away from here to Xianyang City with these boxes.

Just now, Meng Yi said his name loudly, and the people around him and the county magistrate heard it clearly.

Everyone was stunned on the spot, even though they were in the county town.

Some of the civil servants and generals in the court knew that Meng Yi was from the Meng family, a family of military generals in the Qin Dynasty.

There are two major military general families in Da Qin. One is the Wang family where General Wang Jian belongs.

The other one is the Meng family where General Meng Yi lives. The two families with the highest status in Da Qin are the Wang family and the Meng family.

They did not expect that Meng Yi would personally lead the cavalry to their small county town.

"Today I not only saw the death of the bully Liu Feng, but also saw General Meng Yi."

"General Meng Yi is your Majesty's most trusted person. I never expected that he would personally lead troops to our county."

"Liu Feng met General Meng Yi and died unjustly."

"Even Chun Yuyue cannot compare with General Meng Yi."

When the people around mentioned Meng Yi's name, they had admiration on their faces.

The county magistrate also came to his senses at this time. Fortunately, he did not join Liu Feng, and he did not say anything to Meng Yi.

Otherwise, if Meng Yi really kills him, his death will be in vain.

The magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Folks, please go back. This county magistrate still has to deal with matters here."

"Tomorrow you all go to the city gate, there will be a notice there!"

The county magistrate looked at the people around him and shouted loudly.

After hearing the county magistrate's words, the people left their mouths one after another and continued to discuss what had just happened.

At the gate of Xianyang City, the soldiers guarding the city chatted with each other while changing shifts.

"Brother, you didn't see that General Meng Yi left Xianyang City with many cavalry."

"If Daqin hadn't been unified now, I would have thought that General Meng Yi would lead his army out to fight."

"Real or false? What is General Meng Yi doing with so many cavalry?"

"That's not clear, but Mr. Fusu and General Meng Yi also left Xianyang City yesterday with hundreds of cavalry."

"When Mr. Fusu and General Meng Yi returned to Xianyang City, there were more than a dozen boxes among the cavalry."

"Brother, do you know what's in the box?"

"Who dares to ask about the belongings of Mr. Fusu and General Meng Yi? They must be gold, silver and jewelry."

The two soldiers guarding the city gate were chatting with each other.

"Tap Tap!"

The two of them suddenly heard the sound of many war horses galloping and stamping on the ground in the distance.

Looking into the distance, the expressions of the two soldiers guarding the city gate changed slightly. I saw Meng Yi leading the way, and behind General Meng Yi were hundreds of cavalry.

There were also twenty more boxes among the cavalry.

"Brother, is the box you just mentioned the same as these boxes?"

"You are right, there are boxes like this, but this time there are more boxes than yesterday."

"Stop talking, the general will come to the city gate soon."

The two soldiers guarding the city gate quickly stood up, but there was a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Meng Yi came to the city gate, reined in his horse and stopped, and the hundreds of cavalry behind him also stopped.

Looking at the hundreds of cavalry under his command, Meng Yi had a smile on his face.

This time His Majesty assigned him the task, and he completed it very well here.

Liu Feng, a bully squire, was executed and all Liu Feng's money was brought back to Xianyang City.

"Have any of the cavalry who left Xianyang City returned to Xianyang City before?"

Meng Yi called over a soldier guarding the city, opened his mouth and said.

"General Meng, you are the first to come back after leading the team out of the city. The other cavalry have not returned yet."

"I know, let's continue guarding the city gate!"

Meng Yi learned from the soldiers guarding the city that he was the first to return to Xianyang City, so he asked the soldiers to go back and continue to guard the city gate.

The two soldiers guarding the city who were chatting just now saw Meng Yi and his cavalry standing by the city gate.

He didn't dare to speak anymore, but there was a look of curiosity on his face.

"Tap Tap!"

Soon the two heard the sound of war horses stamping on the ground from outside the city, and they looked into the distance.

Hundreds more cavalrymen came towards them, and there were more than a dozen boxes among these cavalrymen.

Seeing this scene, the two of them were stunned. They just guessed that these boxes contained gold and silver jewelry.

Now not only did the cavalry brought back by General Meng Yi have boxes, but the cavalry other than General Meng Yi also came back with such boxes.

Soon the third and fourth batches of cavalry returned to Xianyang City with boxes. The two of them were numb when they saw one batch after another of cavalry returning with boxes.

Where did they get so many boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry?

The sun was setting, and finally there were no cavalrymen carrying boxes back to Xianyang City.

Meng Yi looked at the cavalry team in front of him. He checked that there were still more than thirty teams that had not returned.

He knew in his heart that those cavalrymen who had traveled a long way would not be able to come back today.

"Enter the city!"

Meng Yi looked at the cavalry carrying the box behind him, then turned and entered Xianyang City.

After hearing Meng Yi's words, the cavalry with boxes followed Meng Yi into Xianyang City in a mighty manner.

On the streets of Xianyang City, many people saw Meng Yi and the soldiers behind him talking quietly to each other.

With a smile on Meng Yi's face, he sent out the cavalry team.

Every cavalry team that came back brought boxes with them. Some brought less than a dozen boxes, and some brought back more boxes than his team.

These boxes are filled with gold, silver and jewelry, not counting the team Meng Yi who has not returned yet.

With these gold, silver and jewelry, the problem of the treasury can be solved.

This suggestion was made to His Majesty by Mr. Fusu.

Your Majesty will be very happy when he sees so many gold and silver jewels.

Hu Hai's mansion in Xianyang City!
"Snapped!"

"Get out!"

Hu Hai had a look of rage on his face. He looked at the servants in the hall and shouted!

The servants looked at the furious Hu Hai and quickly turned around and left.

They did not forget that there was a servant before, who also left slowly when Hu Hai was angry.

They were executed by Hu Hai, a scene they would never forget.

"I've met Mr. Hu Hai!"
