Chapter 88 The leader of the Black Ice Platform is actually him!!!

Ye Chi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is in the Lishan camp today. He used the opportunity of the Enfeoffment Order, cannons, and muskets to give those disciples of the clan branches the opportunity to enter the government and make meritorious contributions."

"I think we can start with these clan members and use this opportunity to find out the true strength of the clan!"

He paused and continued, "When these clan members first enter officialdom, they are bound to be eager to make achievements and prove their worth. We can take advantage of their desires and let them inadvertently reveal the internal situation of the clan while participating in government affairs and carrying out various tasks."

"In this way, we can gradually grasp the dynamics of the clan and lay a solid foundation for future plans!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and praised: "This plan of Ye Qing is brilliant! It can not only find out the true strength of the clan, but also allow these disciples to grow through experience. It is really a strategy that kills two birds with one stone."

He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Then in your opinion, how should the next plan be implemented?"

A gleam of light flashed in Ye Chi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The next plan... still needs the support of His Majesty!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "As long as it is for the future of the Qin Dynasty, I will fully support you. What do you need? Just tell me!!"

Ye Chi took a deep breath and said, "Black Ice Platform!"

After these words were spoken, Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked deeply at Ye Chi.

The Black Ice Platform is the most mysterious intelligence agency of the Qin Dynasty, with countless spies and many experts within its ranks.

But since ancient times, the Black Ice Platform has always been in the hands of the monarchs of the Great Qin Dynasty and has almost never been used by ministers!

However, Ye Chi in front of him made Ying Zheng feel an inexplicable sense of trust.

He saw that Ye Chi had a calm expression, as if he was not moved at all. This calmness and determination made him nod in approval!

After pondering for a few breaths, Ying Zheng finally nodded slightly, looked deeply at the eunuch standing beside him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass on my order, summon the leader of the Black Ice Platform to come to see me!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch bowed and accepted the order, then quickly walked out.

The palace fell into a brief silence, with only Ying Zheng and Ye Chi standing opposite each other, their eyes meeting in the air, as if they were both waiting for something...

Soon, the silence of the palace was broken by the sound of steady footsteps, and a man in armor and with a stern face walked into the palace.

His temperament is cold and mysterious, as if he is incompatible with the air around him!
The man walked up to Ying Zheng, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, I, Zhang Han, pay my respects to you!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Han for a while, and then slowly said: "Zhang Han, I order you to hand over the Black Ice Platform to Ye Chi to command and lend him a helping hand!"

When Zhang Han heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked up at Ye Chi, his eyes filled with inquiry and scrutiny.

Then, he bowed his head again and saluted, saying: "As ordered! I will do my best to assist Master Ye!"

On the side, Ye Chi just stood there in a daze!
Only then did he discover that the legendary and mysterious leader of the Black Ice Platform was actually the so-called Minister of Works, Zhang Han!!!

Dark as ink.

Ye Chi and Zhang Han walked side by side through the numerous courtyards of the mansion. The bluestone paths shone faintly in the moonlight.

Ye Chi's steps were steady and powerful, while Zhang Han followed closely behind him, feeling uneasy.

After entering the inner hall, Ye Chi waved his hand and asked the girl to leave first, leaving Zhang Han standing alone.

He looked into Zhang Han's eyes with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "General Zhang Han, do you know why I am asking His Majesty for the Black Ice Platform? What is the reason?"

Zhang Han's heart tightened, and he clasped his hands and said, "I am a stupid official, please enlighten me, Lord Ye."

Ye Chi nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked to the window. Looking at the hazy moonlight outside the window, he said: "The current Qin Dynasty is in turmoil. The power of the wealthy families is deeply rooted in the court, and the local people are suffering!"

"Outside the court, the remnants of the six kingdoms are eyeing us covetously, waiting for an opportunity to seize our Great Qin!" "I want to do something extraordinary to turn the tide! And the Black Ice Platform is indispensable in this plan!"

He turned around, stared at Zhang Han with sharp eyes, and continued: "I want you to do three things!!"

"First, thoroughly investigate the clan's land, taxes, etc."

"Second, investigate whether there are any private soldiers!"

"Third, collect evidence of corruption and abuse of power!"

"These three matters are related to the fate of the country and the people's livelihood. You must ensure that Black Ice Platform handles them properly!"

Zhang Han was shocked when he heard this, as all of these three matters were extremely difficult.

He looked up at Ye Chi, only to see that Ye Chi had a firm expression and his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.

He was startled and immediately understood Ye Chi's intention. He wanted to uproot those clans that brought disaster to the country and the people in one fell swoop!!!

Thinking of this, Zhang Han couldn't help but be shocked and his expression became solemn!
He knew very well that this matter was of great importance and any mistake would lead to a catastrophic disaster.

But thinking of Ye Chi's previous personality and style of doing things, he felt inexplicably relieved.

He took a deep breath, bowed and said, "I obey your orders! I will not let you down!"

Seeing this, Ye Chi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! Go ahead, but remember to be careful and don't show your true colors!"

Zhang Han retreated in response, but his heart was full of excitement and anticipation.

He knew that he was about to be caught up in a world-shaking storm, and at the center of this storm was Lord Ye, who had a vicious plan and cared about the country.

Definitely, do your best!!
……

The next morning, the sun rose and the sky was full of rosy clouds.

In Xianyang city, the streets are busy and people are busy starting a new day.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves broke the tranquility of the early morning, and a postman came galloping on his horse and headed straight for the imperial palace.

The postman was covered in dust and his face was full of anxiety!
Holding an urgent military report, he broke through the numerous palace gates and entered the court!

At this moment, all the civil and military officials gathered in the court. The postman ignored etiquette and went straight forward, kneeling in front of the First Emperor, holding up the military report with both hands, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, urgent military report!!!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell into silence!

The First Emperor sat upright in the court, his face as calm as water, majestic without even getting angry.

He gazed down at the hall, his heart moving slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a eunuch stepped forward and took the dusty military report.

The military newspaper slowly unfolded, and the First Emperor's eyes were as sharp as torches, examining the text on it word by word!
Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he saw some unexpected information!

"Your Majesty, what does the military report say?!" A minister in the court could not help but ask, his voice revealing a hint of nervousness and curiosity.

The First Emperor did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes slightly, as if trying to calm his inner turmoil.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and spoke in a deep and powerful voice: "According to the military report, our soldiers have thrown the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle and those who were infected with the plague into the Baiyue army."

"Now, the Baiyue tribe is ravaged by the plague, and countless people have died from the disease!!!"
