Chapter 147 Section 2 Lai Ai's Informant

Let's say that Li Si was secretly worried about his failure to persuade Yingzheng. When his wife asked him, he kept silent. Press Li Si, and then express Lai Ai.That night, Lai Ai and his followers gambled, drank, and had fun.Among the party members is Yan Xie, a Chinese doctor who is good at playing Go.Lao Ai also likes to play Go, her addiction is big and the game smells bad.The two got together and started playing chess.Of course, for the sake of pleasure, both sides of the game have to bet on some prizes.Lai Ai's level was about the same as Cao San's, that is, in the early amateur stage, and was quickly cut by Yan Xie in three or four sets.In front of his subordinates, Lao Ai, the leader, lost consecutive battles, and naturally couldn't hold back his face. Annoyed, he increased the lottery of each game from ten gold to a hundred gold.Although all the lords present here are also rich and powerful people, seeing the bets of one hundred gold in each game, their palms are sweating and they are speechless.Seeing that Lai Ai has lost a lot, Yan Xie originally intended to let Lai Ai win a game or two, but when the lottery of a hundred gold was drawn, he couldn't help but become greedy, and played chess more seriously.

The two of them were drinking while playing chess, and they both felt drunk.Seeing that the situation has changed and there is no hope of winning, Lao Ai was very annoyed, so she said: "This game is not counted. Do it again." How could Yan Xie allow Baijin to slip away from his fingertips like this, so he said arrogantly: "Why is it not counted?" Lao Ai said angrily, "Because I don't think so." Yan Xie was brave enough to get drunk, and said: "I have no regrets, I am willing to bet and admit defeat. Chess skills are like character, if your chess skill is not good, your character is not good..."

Lai Ai was young and successful, and she was used to seeing no one in her eyes. In addition to the recent sexual discord with the queen mother, her anger can be said to be on the verge of burning. He slapped Yan Xie hard.Not willing to be humiliated, Yan Xie also grabbed Lao Ai's hair and pulled off the tassel from his head. Yan Xie dared to fight back, which made Lao Ai furious, and she scolded: "I am the false father of the king, the son of your poor family, how dare you resist me?" Killing Yan Xie, the nobles on the left and right hurriedly pulled Lai Ai.Yan Xie was terrified and took the opportunity to escape.

Yan Xie hurried out of Changxinhou's mansion, was blown by the cold wind, and woke up most of the time, only then did he realize that he had caused a catastrophe, and Lai Ai would never forgive him.If he wants to save his life, he can only count on King Qin Yingzheng.He made up his mind, recognized the direction, and went straight to Xianyang Palace. Yingzheng has gone to bed. Hearing that the matter is urgent, he puts on his clothes and goes out to see him.Yan Xie kowtowed to the ground, weeping and begging to die.Ying Zheng frowned, and said, "Is this hall a place to weep? Something is coming."

Yan Xie went out and said: "My king is in danger. Lai Ai will plot to usurp the Qin State. Lai Ai is not an eunuch, but she was fraudulently punished for corruption. She served the Queen Mother privately. Now she has two sons, both of whom are hiding in the palace. .Lao Ai tried to conspire with the Queen Mother, saying, "The king will die, and the son will be the heir to succeed the throne of Qin." Lai Ai also pretends to be my king and false father. Every time he expresses it in words, he does not avoid people." After hearing what Yan Xie said, Ying Zheng took a breath and was stunned for a while.He had just been awakened from a dream, and he was still sleepy at first, but when he heard such earth-shattering news, he woke up no matter how sleepy he was.Ying Zheng still couldn't believe his ears. His voice trembled, and he said, "Slandering the minister and implicating the Queen Mother is a serious crime against the nine clans. Do you know that?"

Yan Xie said: "Everything I said is true. Even if I have the courage, I dare not lie to my king." Ying Zheng asked sadly, "How old is the second son of Lao Ai and the Queen Mother?" "Return to my king, the elder is five years old, and the younger is four years old." Yingzheng asked again: "Lao Ai's corruption was handled by Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister himself, and her yang was once filled in a plate and passed on to everyone. How can it be fraudulent?" Yan Xie said: "The yang in the plate is actually the yang of the black donkey, which is especially deceptive."

Ying Zheng felt a chill.First there was Lai Ai, then there was the Queen Mother, and now Lu Buwei is added. Is there not a single good person in Hongtong County?Lai Ai, the Empress Dowager, Lu Buwei, the three enemies are at present, can he break through?Ying Zheng said again: "Since you know that Lai Ai has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, why didn't you report it earlier? It's late at night, and where did you come from?" Yan Xie didn't dare to hide it, and described in detail how he gambled with Lao Ai, was beaten, and fled.After finishing speaking, he kowtowed repeatedly and called for death.

Ying Zheng looked down at Yan Xie condescendingly, with thoughtfulness in his eyes.Lao Ai will definitely send someone to track down Yan Xie.How to properly deal with Yan Xie, he must decide immediately.Yingzheng and Yan said: "You don't need to panic. It's not too late to turn back when you're lost. Although it's late to know about Lai Ai's plan, it's better than never knowing. This is all thanks to you." Yan Xie was overjoyed, and said: "Fortunately, my king is magnanimous, and I dare not take credit for the extravagant wish." "You are loyal to the court, you are not afraid of Lai Ai's obscenity, you stand up and speak out, expose the evil, and the widow is very pleased. I have a request from the king, and I don't know if the king will allow it."

Yan Xie was even more delighted, and said: "I am willing to be my king's heart and soul. Whatever my king orders, I will never dare not to obey." Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Very good, very good." Then he said leisurely: "I want to borrow your head for use."
