Chapter 33: Double Agent
Ying Zheng said with a gloomy face: "How can you guarantee it?" I'm afraid that the widow will already be in heaven when he knows the truth! β
Lu Buwei smiled bitterly and said: "The minister is willing to return to the king, let the king investigate, and there is no concealment!" β
Ying Zheng stared at Lu Buwei, seeing that Lu Buwei was calm and not flustered, as if he was lying, he knew that things might not be so simple. But in any case, LΓΌ Buwei could no longer participate in this matter.
Ying Zheng said: "In this case, you will go back and write your spring and autumn first!" Wait for the widow to investigate clearly, and I will give you an explanation! β
"Yes! Retire! β
Governor LΓΌ Buwei was irretrievable, and he retired without further words. It has nothing to do with me how to investigate next, but I still need to take care of some firsts, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to get to the court.
The remorse in LΓΌ Buwei's heart was like a river flooding.
I knew this was the case, I really shouldn't have entered this yin person!
Lu Buwei didn't expect Chang Yu to be so bold, once he let the King of Qin's investigation department Chang Yu enter by himself, he would inevitably be implicated! The law of Shang Jun has the word "sitting"! For now, the only way to do this is to kill the people involved as soon as possible, and there is no proof of death!
LΓΌ Buwei didn't dare to delay, and immediately went back to the house to summon the guests to arrange.
Behind him, Zhao Gao entered the palace to meet the King of Qin.
Ying Zheng said: "Where did your blood book come from, and is there any evidence for what it says?" β
Zhao Gao said: "Your Great King, the blood book was written by the original Chang Yumen guest cuttlefish. He served Chang Yu and the Queen Mother in Yongcheng, he had an affair with the palace maid and was discovered by the Queen Mother, he found that something was wrong and escaped with the palace maid, just by us to hold it. He said that the queen mother's birth of a child was seen with his own eyes and should be true. β
Ying Zheng's brow furrowed. If it is true, it means that Zhao Ji still has something to hide. If you don't say it, you won't say it, but it's understandable.
"I always felt that something was wrong!"
Ying Zheng muttered to himself, and Zhao Gao said when he heard it: "Things must be wrong!" β
Ying Zheng was stunned, he didn't expect this little jailer to pick up. Did he find something when he said that? Ying Zhenghu said suspiciously: "Oh, what's wrong, you should talk about it!" β
Zhao Gao said: "It's too coincidental! He didn't come at the right time! β
Ying Zheng was shocked and realized that there was indeed a conspiracy behind it. Then there was another shock, and the matter of dealing with Chang Yu was something that had just happened. Zhao Gao was not present just now, but now this sentence shows that he seems to mean something. Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and asked, "Do you know something?" β
Zhao Gao said: "The slave does know a little, it was the king who told the slave!" β
Ying Zheng thought back and was sure he didn't say anything. Puzzled: "When will I tell you?" β
Zhao Gao said: "The slave is the king's jailer, and his duty is to interrogate prisoners. Some people are cunning and will inevitably lie in order to get away with it. Therefore, when you see people, you will judge what the person is hiding. These will be shown in their expressions. The slave interrogated many prisoners, so he had some experience.
The king was angry at the beginning when he saw the blood book, but he calmed down, indicating that the queen mother had a son, and the king had already known about it. The reason for the anger is that the blood book says something beyond the king's knowledge. That's part of why there is an extra child! β
Ying Zheng did not doubt the experience of a jailer, but only sighed that a little jailer turned out to be a talent. Then he asked, "In your opinion, whose child does it belong to?" β
Zhao Gao said: "What the blood book says can exclude what Lu Xiang did, and since the king doesn't know about it, it can also be excluded." The only remaining insider is Chang Yu! β
"Huh?"
How is this possible to shake out your own children by yourself! You must know that tiger poison does not eat children, what reason does Chang Yu have to do this?
Ying Zheng didn't say it, but Zhao Gao saw the doubts in Ying Zheng's heart like a roundworm in Ying Zheng's stomach and said: "This is because Chang Yu wants Lu Xiang to withdraw from the investigation, so the king will lose the biggest help."
It shows even more that Chang Yu doesn't want to sit still, and will inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry. The king will have to worry about his life, and the pro-government matter will inevitably make waves again! β
Ying Zheng suddenly realized, and there were only two words left in his mind: so dangerous!
Without LΓΌ Buwei's help, his strength was not much different from that of Chang Yu. If it's a desperate deer to death, it's two to say.
Ying Zheng knew that Chang Yu was bold, but he didn't expect to underestimate Chang Yu, but he didn't expect him to want to do that rebellious thing like Cheng Jiao!
You know, he was just a servant!
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although there has been no shortage of usurpation of power in the country. But those happened between the same sect, and it seems that Chang Yu has never used his ministers to seek the king like this! The Tian clan usurped Qi because the Tian clan was originally the same clan as the monarch of the Qi Kingdom, but Chang Yu had no blood connection with the Great Qin royal family!
But let him be cunning, he was still seen by a small jailer.
If Chang Yu knew, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood, and the huge plan would be planted on an inconspicuous little character.
This jailer is a talent!
It's a talent, and it has to be reused!
Ying Zheng said: "I see that you are quite talented, are you willing to go to Tingwei on an errand?" Now that you have been involved in this matter, it is up to you to investigate Yongcheng! β
Zhao Gao bowed his head and thanked: "Thank you for the grace of the king, the slave will be smeared with liver and brain to repay the king's kindness!" β
"What's your name?"
"Zhao Gao!"
Ying Zheng said: "Your edict will be given to you soon, you go down first to find out what Chang Yu wants to do!" β
"Yes!"
Zhao Gao bowed and retreated, but he had never been so excited today!
A long ladder to the sky seems to appear in front of him, and his grand cause finally has a great starting point, Zhao Gao wants to sing a song!
Ying Zheng didn't expect that Zhao Gao had been planning for this opportunity for how long, and he didn't know that Zhao Gao was brilliant today and even betrayed the head of the family who introduced him!
Similarly, Chang Yu didn't expect that his henchman would be in such a critical position, and at a critical moment, he was stabbed in the back!
A carrier pigeon flew up in Zhao's hand, and there was only one sentence or two words in it: "It's done!" β
Chang Yu was overjoyed to see these two words: I can finally take the next step!
Indeed, as Zhao Gao said, Chang Yu wanted to take a risk, first cut off the arm of King Qin by ruling out LΓΌ Buwei, and then promised Zhao Ji to return to the King of Qin, and finally took the opportunity to attack and kill Ying Zheng in one fell swoop!
Zhao Ji came back and promised King Qin that the matter would be gradually implemented.
The crowning of the king requires a very cumbersome set of procedures, which can never be completed in a moment. After discussing with Zhao Gao in a hurry, he set the place of worship in the Lama Temple.
This is Chang Yu's home field.
Things are going in an orderly manner.
LΓΌ Buwei is also a candidate who must participate in the crown ceremony. It's just that Lu Buwei coincided with Chang Yu and wanted to attack and kill the other party in one fell swoop!
Qin Wang Yingzheng had Zhao Gao secretly reminded him that something was wrong, and he quickly discovered the actions of the two after paying attention!
He showed a sneer: "Praying mantis auxiliary silkworm, yellow finch behind!" β
