"Look! We're going to inspect the tripod!"

"I really went to appraise the tripod!"

The crowded people of Qin also raised their heads and looked in the direction of the cauldron.

From the beginning, I thought it was the Kyushu Cauldron, and now so many people are saying that the big cauldron is a fake cauldron. Some people even stood up and told the origin of the big cauldron in detail, and even saw it with their own eyes.

Now, not to mention the Qin nobles' sons and daughters who were watching in restaurants and shops, even the people of Qin who were crowded with people all knew it in their hearts.

The tripod is fake!

There is no Kyushu Cauldron at all, and Bai Yan has never found the Kyushu Cauldron.

At this moment, countless people watched Lord Chongquan in the distance leading the palace guards to the big cauldron. They were all curious about what crime Bai Yan would be punished for sending the fake cauldron to Xianyang and dedicating it to Ying Zheng.

Bai Yan's actions caused the Qin State and Qin King Yingzheng to lose face!

"Look, it's about to be revealed!"

Amidst the endless noise, there was an exclamation, and almost instantly, everywhere the naked eye could see, whether it was the surrounding people or scholars from various countries, all looked towards the direction of the cauldron.

In front of the big cauldron.

Ying Kan led the palace guards to the main hall and stopped in front of everyone. He looked at the covered cauldron in front of him, took a deep breath, sighed, and stretched out his hand to pull out his sword.

The noisy sounds around him gradually became less and quieter, and Ying Kan knew clearly that everyone was watching him.

Looking at the big cauldron in front of him, Ying Kan's face was full of worry, knowing the consequences once the cloth was lifted.

But Ying Zheng's order, as well as countless Qin people, nobles, and officials were all watching, and Ying Kan really couldn't find any chance to help Bai Yan cover up the matter.

Thinking of Ying Zheng's face on one side and Bai Yan on the other.

In this choice, Ying Kan, who is a member of the Ying family, hardly hesitated. He gently raised his other hand, grasped the thick rope, and started cutting the rope with a sharp sword.

With the blade, the thick rope was quickly cut.

Looking at the big cauldron that had lost its rope binding in front of him, Ying Kan took two steps back with his sword in hand. He watched as the palace guards stepped forward one after another and took away the severed thick rope. The other palace guards stepped forward and lifted up the giant cloth.

In an instant.

A huge cauldron appeared in front of Ying Kan.

The sturdy legs of the big tripod are very delicate, and there are vague seal characters. However, what makes Ying Kan's eyes even more surprised is that as the cover is lifted, there are exquisite patterns on the body of the tripod, and the mountains and rivers are clearly visible.

.

Although he knew it was a fake tripod, Ying Kan was still surprised by the fake tripod when he saw it for the first time.

Not only Yingkan, but also the people of Qin State, as well as the children of the gentry and women who were very close to the cauldron on the street, all widened their eyes when they saw the cauldron. After looking at each other, they started talking in low voices.

, his words were full of exclamation.

“What a beautiful tripod!”

"I didn't expect that there would be such a scene in the big cauldron!"

"Look, there are not only mountains and rivers up there, but also strange beasts..."

There were noisy exclamations all around, and so did the people in the distance. After the huge cloth was lifted, everyone couldn't move their eyes away when they saw the cauldron for the first time.

Even in the capital of the Qin State, there are countless high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and famous families, and there are tall buildings and exquisite mansions everywhere. But with such an exquisite tripod, not to mention the common people, there are countless noble families in Xianyang City.

I have never seen the children of powerful people.

It's so exquisite! And it's definitely not the noble family who would spend so much energy to cast such a large cauldron.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Ying Kan had just withdrawn his gaze, and was about to put away his sword and ask someone to come and inspect the cauldron. He heard the noisy chatter of the people, and Ying Kan instinctively agreed in his heart.

"Indeed, there are mountains, rivers, and exotic beasts carved on it. It really looks like Kyushu..."

As he was thinking about it, Ying Kan suddenly felt something was wrong, and then he froze on the spot, with a thought vaguely emerging in his mind.

wrong!

When he raised his head again, Ying Kan stood there in a daze, staring straight at the huge cauldron in front of him.

Looking at the mountains and rivers pattern above, Ying Kan seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils shrank.

This tripod!!!

Is it possible, is it true...

On the street in the distance, due to the distance, only the general outline of the cauldron can be seen from a distance. However, as the people passed it on one by one, among the sea of ​​people, the speed of propagation increased with the noisy discussion.

Spread quickly.

This also allows people even in far away places to quickly know what is happening through the comments of the people.

"Mountains and rivers? Alien beasts?"

Nie Kuan, who was wearing commoner clothes, looked at the people of Qin who were whispering around him, and frowned slightly as he listened to the discussion.

Back then, he had seen the Song family's tripod with his own eyes. Although there were mountains and rivers, he had never seen pictures of strange beasts on it.

strangeness!

Nie Kuan couldn't help but look at the huge cauldron in the distance. For some reason, Nie Kuan suddenly had an illusion when looking at it from a distance. He felt that the cauldron seemed much bigger than that night.

In the end, Nie Kuan just thought it was an illusion. After all, it was very dark that night, and under the light of the fire, he was in a hurry, so he would inevitably remember it wrong.

As curious as Nie Kuan, there are Kuang Jing, Ji Sheng, Xiang Bo, Xiang Ji and others who are hidden among the common people and scholars. At this moment, when they heard about the big tripod, they all looked at it with doubts.

The direction of the cauldron.

"Mountains and strange beasts?"

Xiang Ji and Xiang Bo looked at each other. Although they had already learned from the news that the big tripod was built by the king of Song when the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and was later kept by his descendants after more than a hundred years, but the news they received

, there is no mention of the Great Cauldron and these things.

The two confused brothers could only frown slightly in the end.

"The Song Dynasty was a prosperous country in the past. It is not impossible for the great cauldron cast by the Song king to carve mountains and rivers and strange animals!"

After Xiang Bo glanced at the densely packed Qin people around him, he thought for a while and told his brother what he was thinking. While analyzing, he also comforted his brother who was worried.

And while Xiang Bo was talking to his brother, in the distance.

"Exotic beast?"

When Mr. Chen, Mr. Tian, ​​Mr. Wei and others heard the conversation among the people, they all looked at each other with puzzled faces.

Could it be that the fake tripod also has mountains, rivers, and strange beasts?

Seeing other scholars and old men not far away, they crowded towards the big cauldron in the sea of ​​people. They wanted to get a closer look. Old Chen and others were also curious and could not care about so many people. When they saw Ying Zheng, they did not stop them.

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the distant cauldron.

"what happened?"

"I don't know! I seem to have heard that there are also strange beasts from the mountains and rivers in the tripod!"

"What a coincidence?"

On the other side, among the streets, the loudest people talking were the numerous Qin officials. The other Qin people were worried that they would be scolded by the palace guards or Qin soldiers, but as Qin officials, they did not have such worries.

.

So as the discussions of the people around him fell into the ears of Qin officials, every Qin official started talking one after another at this time, without any hesitation about the sound.

One of the officials instinctively said, "Such a coincidence", which was heard by Ying Zheng who was standing on the carriage in the sunset.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng couldn't help but look at the big cauldron in the distance.

However, when he stood on the carriage and looked at the cauldron, he noticed from the corner of his eye not far away, a man in commoner clothes who claimed to be named 'Song Zi'. Thinking back to what he had just said, the look on Ying Zheng's face changed.

I couldn't help but feel sad.

This man personally took Bai Yan to salvage the tripod that had fallen into Surabaya.

Think of this.

Ying Zheng's face was full of gloom, and his eyes flashed sharply. He had a vague hunch that the matter might have something to do with this person.

However, Ying Zheng's forbearance made his eyes fleeting. After sighing slightly, he calmed down the emotions in his heart and waited for them to change.

Regarding the fake tripod, we can only wait until today and then order people to investigate quietly.

However, looking around, he could clearly see that there were too many scholars from Qi and Chu in the crowd to count. Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of the actions of the Qi and Chu scholars who refused to join Qin as officials.

The same warm anger could not help but emerge in Ying Zheng's heart.

Fortunately, no matter how angry Ying Zheng was at this time, he also knew that he would never be an enemy of the scholars in the world. Not only did the Qin State need scholars as officials in the future, but also for a long time, even the vast majority of officials in the Qin State's court were in conflict with many

Famous people have connections, either through old friends or disciples, and there are even some people who are related to each other through marriage.

If Ying Zheng mobilizes all the scholars, he will not only force the scholars and noble families in the world to unite.

Even the Qin court will no longer support him.

Ying Zheng knows better than anyone what the consequences will be for a King of Qin who loses the support of the Qin court. This is why when he saw those old men just now, even though Ying Zheng was already very angry even though he knew he was being plotted, he still endured it.

Treat the old people politely.
