Chapter 325 Zhao Gao was demoted and hanged himself
Zhao Gao, who was crawling on the ground, knew that his mouth was harder than a dead duck now. Since Feng Quji had already said that he would take care of the matter, Zhao Gao couldn't leak a single bit in his mouth. If there is a trace of breath leaking out of his mouth, then what awaits him must be a dead word.
"Come on, take Zhao Gao down for me." The First Emperor shouted angrily at the guards on the left and right. The First Emperor is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and he can't tolerate betrayal, especially Zhao Gao, who serves him all day long.
"Your Majesty, spare your life."
"Your Majesty, the minister is just confused for a while." Zhao Gao was pulled by the guards beside the First Emperor and shouted loudly.
Zhao Gao's voice became farther and farther away, and the civil and military officials all lowered their heads one by one, pretending to be ostriches. Everyone knows that it is better not to speak when His Majesty is angry, and to speak at this time is to make trouble for yourself.
"Li Chen, what do you think of what Zhao Gao said." The First Emperor asked Li Chen.
"Since Lord Zhao doesn't admit it, then it's better to invite Feng to ask about this matter. Let these two parties confront each other face to face, and this matter will be clear. Li Chen said slowly.
The caught Xu Jing is Feng Quji's protégé, and now it is a sure thing to punish Feng Quji. What Li Chen didn't expect was that Zhao Gao sold Feng Qujian so decisively, which was even more decisive than what Li Chen sold in the summoner canyon in his previous life when he sold ADC. Since the copper ingots were found in the treasury of the Criminal Department, it is naturally inevitable to punish Zhao Gao, what kind of crime can be convicted of Zhao Gao, and it depends on whether Feng Qujian is willing to bear all of it.
In Li Chen's opinion, Feng Qujian was mostly unwilling, you must know that in this era, these clans put the interests of the family first. Now Feng Quji is the pillar of the Feng family, even if he is not in the court, but there are not a few of his Feng Quji's protégés in this court, he Feng Quji will not die for a day, then he will be able to have a place to say in the court of Daqin, but if he Feng Quji is not there, it will be a person who will go to tea and cool, and then the Feng family will not be far from decline.
"Xuan Feng went to rush into the hall." The First Emperor gave orders with a gloomy face.
The little eunuch left in a hurry, and the atmosphere in the court fell into an awkward situation. The needles in the entire court can be heard, and some ministers who have a deep relationship with Zhao Gaofeng are already sweating profusely at this time, for fear of being involved in this case.
After about half an hour, the little eunuch who went to Feng's mansion to deliver the edict had already returned. It's just that he was alone when he went, and he was still alone when he came back, which made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military mutter, how could it be that Feng Quji still had the courage to resist the decree and not be respectful.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Feng Qu got sick and hanged himself." As soon as the little eunuch entered the main hall, he immediately knelt on the ground and trembled and said.
"This Feng Quji, is really bold, did I let him die? Or did he really think that if he died, he would really die. The First Emperor said with a gloomy face.
Feng Qu died of illness, and suicide seemed to be his best option. If Feng Quji falls into the hands of the Black Ice Terrace, he may not be able to be tougher than Xu Jing, he is not sure that he can resist the punishment of the Black Ice Terrace, so suicide is the only way to take all the responsibility. Feng Qu's death may involve Zhao Gao, but he will definitely be able to get Hu Hai out of this matter.
"The Feng Mansion was sealed, and the Feng family was used as a conscription within three generations. Zhao Gao was demoted to a commoner and never hired. The First Emperor made a decree with a blushing face, Feng Quji's death made the First Emperor angry, and his death also took away the truth of the entire case.
As soon as the first emperor's decree was given, the civil and military ministers in the court knew that Zhao Gao was really cold this time, and as for Feng Quji, it was even more cold, and it was estimated that the grave grass would be more than two meters high in a few months. Without the support of these two, Hu Hai would be a waste, and above the court, the Fusu Party would be the dominant family in the future.
"I was able to develop my power into the Criminal Department and the City Guard, and next time I want to put a knife on my neck. Li Chen, you go to investigate, this matter must be investigated by me. The First Emperor said angrily.
"Obey." Li Chen said respectfully to the angry First Emperor.
Seeing this scene, the civil and military ministers in the court knew that this time they were only afraid that the city guards and the criminal department would carry out a major reshuffle. As the so-called tree falls and scatters, some officials who are not deeply entangled with Feng Quji and Zhao Gao are already thinking about how to be loyal to Li Chen. As for those who have been labeled as Feng Dang and Zhao Dang, they can only ask for more blessings at this time.
Xianyang City, Lijiazhuang.
Li Chen, who went down to the court, was in a very happy mood, but now Feng Quji committed suicide, and Zhao Gao was demoted to the people. The first emperor's sentence of not hiring is the holy decree, which means that Zhao Gao has graduated as an official in his life, and the best result in the future is nothing more than to be a rich man. As for Hu Hai, Li Chen actually didn't want to move him at first. Hu Hai, who lost the two right-hand men of Feng Quji and Zhao Gao, is just a waste. According to Li Chen's understanding of the First Emperor, the First Emperor is a person who pays great attention to old feelings, and Lao Tzu's killing of his son will never happen to the First Emperor. What Li Chen could do was to keep pressing Hu Hai steadily to ensure that Fusu could sit in that position. After Fusu sits in that position, there will inevitably be a chance to ask for Hu Hai's life.
"Master Hou, what kind of medicine did you feed Xu Jing, why did he obediently obey as soon as he drank it." Zhao Que asked.
It was just an ordinary glass of white water, and Xu Jing's mental pressure had reached a critical point at that time. His spirit could no longer hold on, but his will was resisting. And that glass of water was the last straw that overwhelmed his will, and his subconscious would tell him that he was told to say it by this cup of medicine, so that he would have a reason not to insist. Li Chen answered Zhao Que's questions.
"Master Hou, but I obviously saw you drip a few drops of pink liquid into that glass of water." Although what Li Chen said seemed to be very reasonable, Zhao Que still asked the question in his heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I have such a filthy thing as obedient water?" Li Chen retorted.
"Master Hou, what kind of obedient water, I didn't say anything obedient water?" Zhao Que seemed to understand, it turned out that what made Xu Jing open his mouth was something called obedient water.
"Don't ask so much, let's go and bring Zhao Gao over and see if I can ask something." Li Chen hurriedly changed the topic to that he couldn't let people know what obedient water was. This guy spread out, and he, the marquis, has become a flower thief.
Zhao Que was in a hurry to mention people, so he didn't ask more. Li Chen pinched the pink liquid that was still half a bottle left in his hand, and he didn't know if this thing was useful for a person with a crippled body like Zhao Gao.
