Chapter 194: Tracking
Zhao Gao quickly said goodbye and left from the two guards, a series of questions left a question mark in his heart, Zhao Gao knew that there was not much time left for him in this matter, and he couldn't find the answer at all.
But curiosity has been opened in Zhao Gao's heart, he always feels that this matter is strange, but there is a feeling that he can't say.
The two guards quickly reported their mistakes to their commander, and after being reprimanded for thirty boards, the commander took the two guards to Hu Hai Gongzi to plead guilty.
Hu Hai Gongzi did not encounter any danger, and then saw that the two guards had been punished, and he was not blaming anything?
It's just that while playing chess with Zhao Gao, he asked the three of Xiao Dezi to be handed over to the commander to take away, and his eyes never left the chessboard.
On the contrary, the two guards looked at Zhao Gao with some gratitude in their eyes, whether Zhao Gao was intentional or unintentional, they knew that they were able to escape so easily today because Zhao Gao had dragged Hu Hai's attention.
Zhao Gao naturally noticed the grateful eyes of the two guards, and then, with a calm face, nodded calmly, and played chess with Hu Hai Gongzi who was sitting opposite.
In fact, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai Gongzi are not ordinary chess pieces, how can ordinary chess pieces attract Hu Hai Gongzi's attention like this.
Zhao Gao just cleverly changed all the chess pieces into lifelike wood carvings, such as horses, carved wood into a horse, pawns, carved into warriors with weapons and the like, which attracted the curiosity of Hu Hai Gongzi, but sat here and played chess with Zhao Gao quietly.
In the past, no matter what method Fu Lao wanted to do, Hu Hai Gongzi just refused to sit down and play chess quietly, and even in the face of Qin Shi Huang, Hu Hai Gongzi still played a good game.
However, Hu Hai Gongzi was unwilling to learn to play chess at all in the past, where would he be Zhao Gao's opponent, and Zhao Gao did not either, because Hu Hai Gongzi was his own master, so he let him win.
Hu Hai Gongzi played several games of chess with Zhao Gao in a row, and lost all the games, but he did not get angry, but became more and more courageous, and if he lost, he immediately started again.
Zhao Gao didn't feel bored, but sat there quietly playing chess with Hu Hai Gongzi, Zhao Gao could feel that Hu Hai Gongzi was slowly improving in a game of chess.
This is the result he wants to see, not to blindly force a person to learn, but to let him become interested in himself, only after he is interested, he will study seriously, and keep pondering by himself, this is the most effective result.
Therefore, when the general came with two soldiers, where did Hu Hai Gongzi have the heart to pay attention to them, he was only on the chessboard, and sent away after saying a few words to them.
I am afraid that this day is the quietest and most honest day of Hu Hai Gongzi, that is, he even forgot the time for dinner, if it were not for the reminder of the little eunuch next to him, coupled with the hunger in his stomach, Hu Hai Gongzi had to stop, but he still had an undecided face.
Hu Hai Gongzi originally wanted to play chess with Zhao Gao after dinner, but was rejected by Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao shook his head and said: "Hu Hai Gongzi, no matter how interesting things are, you can't keep watching, otherwise one day you will be disgusted, we should study this chess piece in a few days, after Hu Hai Gongzi dinner, he will review Fu Lao's topic, don't hurt his body for this." ”
Hu Hai Gongzi was a little unhappy when he saw that Zhao Gao no longer played chess with him, but only Zhao Gao could teach himself to play chess in this palace.
So, Hu Hai Gongzi said reluctantly: "Zhao Gao, you actually dare to refute His Highness's idea?" ”
If it were someone else, seeing that Hu Hai Gongzi's face was full of unpromise, he must have been so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
But Zhao Gao is not afraid of Hu Hai Gongzi, because after this period of time together, Zhao Gao understands that in fact, Hu Hai Gongzi is not a violent and unreasonable person, as long as he teaches patiently, he can still listen.
"Master Hu Hai, the minion naturally won't refute your meaning." Zhao Gao said respectfully: "It's just that you have been playing chess all afternoon, it's time to take a break, if you have been indulging here, you will definitely not make any progress." ”
"Can't you just let His Highness win a game against you? Do you know that you are the only one who dares to do this to His Highness, if it were someone else, I am sure that His Highness would have won him a thousand times. After listening to Zhao Gao's words, Hu Hai Gongzi thought that he had played chess all afternoon, but he had never won against Zhao Gao once, so he pointed at Zhao Gao angrily and said.
"If the minions let His Highness win, how is it different from the others? Will His Highness really be happy in his heart? But if, Gongzi Huhai, you devote yourself to learning and defeat the minions with your strength, that is the real ability. Zhao Gao heard Hu Hai's angry rebuke, and he did not panic, but said calmly.
Hu Hai Gongzi looked at Zhao Gao, who was not flustered in front of him, in fact, if he said in his heart that he was not angry, it would be false, where could a master not be angry when he was pressed by his own minions to speak.
However, Hu Hai Gongzi has been accustomed to the flattery of the people around him, but there has never been a person like Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao is different from others, although he contradicts himself all the time, but he has real talent and real learning, and he can learn a lot of things unconsciously, which even his own teacher can't do.
Then Zhao Gao said what was in his heart, if Zhao Gao flattered himself like everyone else from the beginning, and let himself win in order to make himself happy, he might not have been so interested.
Although Gongzi Hu Hai still had anger on his face, he was no longer angry in his heart, but for the sake of his own face, Gongzi Hu Hai still raised his chin arrogantly and said, "His Royal Highness will win you one day." ”14
"Hu Hai Gongzi is smart, if he is willing to study sincerely, he will definitely be able to surpass the minions." Zhao Gao didn't always refute Hu Hai's face, after all, loyalty is against the ear, and sometimes it is necessary to say some good things.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Gao's words came out, the anger on Hu Hai Gongzi's face immediately disappeared without a trace, after all, Hu Hai Gongzi was not really angry with Zhao Gao, but he just felt that Zhao Gao refuted his words in front of so many minions, and let himself lose face.
Gongzi Hu Hai raised his head proudly and said: "Forget it, His Royal Highness is magnanimous and doesn't care about you, don't play chess anymore today, you can also retreat." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Huhai." After Zhao Gao listened to Hu Hai's words, he immediately saluted respectfully, and then quietly withdrew.
Zhao Gao was just a eunuch who accompanied him, and after that, there were naturally other people in Hu Hai's life, and under normal circumstances, after Hu Hai Gongzi agreed to Zhao Gao's resignation, Zhao Gao had nothing else to do.
After Zhao Gao respectfully withdrew from the dormitory, he looked up at the sky outside that had darkened, and unconsciously another day passed.
Zhao Gao returned to his resting place again, looked at the empty room, and suddenly thought that he knew that these three people had been transferred to the Praetorian Guards today, although Zhao Gao usually did not talk to them, and now that this kind of thing happened, there was no sympathy at all, after all, it was they who hurt people, and people always have to be responsible for what they have done.
It's just that Zhao Gao suddenly felt some emotion in his heart, obviously he didn't do anything, but he would still attract so many people's targeting, can't he let himself live this life quietly?
On the other side, after Xiao Dezi and the three were handed over to the Praetorian Guards, because of the seriousness of the situation and the safety of Huhai Gongzi's life, the Praetorian Guards quickly reported this to Qin Shi Huang.
When Qin Shi Huang learned of the incident, he was furious, and immediately beheaded the three of Xiao Dezi for public display, and ordered the Praetorian Guard to send people to guard the dormitory of Hu Hai Gongzi, so that this kind of thing could not happen again.
Qin Shi Huang felt that it was not enough to send additional people to protect him, after all, someone disappeared mysteriously after sneaking in, who was this person? What is the intent? Check it out.
After thinking about it, Qin Shi Huang finally asked Gongzi Fusu to summon him and let Gongzi Fusu be responsible for investigating the matter.
"Hu Hai is your younger brother, this matter will be handled by you, find out the mysterious missing person for me, and protect your younger brother." Qin Shi Huang sat in front of the bookcase and said with a serious face.
"The retainers obeyed." Gongzi Fusu has also heard a little about this matter for a long time, after all, in this deep palace, a little wind and grass will spread very quickly.
With the intervention of Gongzi Fusu, things progressed very quickly, and the palace people in the womb of Duke Huhai were once again called by Gongzi Fusu to inquire one by one.
It's just that most people don't know anything about this matter, and almost everyone unanimously says that they haven't seen two Zhu Gonggongs at the same time, and they all have alibi certificates that night.
Zhao Gao was naturally called by Gongzi Fusu to inquire, and Gongzi Fusu knew that this matter must have nothing to do with Zhao Gao, but Yilu still had to summon him to inquire.
"Fusu Gongzi." As soon as Zhao Gao entered the room, he saluted respectfully to Gongzi Fusu.
"You're here." When Gongzi Fusu saw Zhao Gao coming in, he immediately stood up and said, "No need to be polite. ”
After Zhao Gao heard Gongzi Fusu's words, he stood up for himself.
"I'm just calling you here today to go through the motions." Childe Fusu said.
"Minions understand." Zhao Gao also knew the difficulties of Gongzi Fusu.
"Come and sit down, you and I haven't seen each other for a while, just enough to catch up." Childe Fusu said with an indifferent smile.
Zhao Gao was not pretentious, walked to the seat next to Gongzi Fusu and sat down slowly.
Gongzi Fusu Xiang had already prepared tea and wanted to talk to Zhao Gao, so when Zhao Gao sat down, Gongzi Fusu naturally poured a cup of hot tea, and then pushed it in front of Zhao Gao.
"This is a new tea this year, you can taste it." Childe Fusu said with a smile.
"Fusu Gongzi is polite, Zhao Gao is no longer the Zhao Gao of the day, there is no tasting, as long as there is a sip of hot water to drink." Zhao Gao looked at the hot tea in front of him, the air was full of its fragrance, as long as he smelled it, Zhao Gao knew that it was the best tea.
