Chapter 367: The Three Clans? (2nd Update)

Finally, after a long time, the sweat on the old guy's forehead was already dripping to the floor, and he finally let out a long sigh before opening his mouth.

"Your Majesty, this person was said by a guest in my house, but when he told me about this, this person had already entered my Great Qin's court, I really don't know the details, and I hope that your lord will find out!"

When he was silent, his mind was obviously not idle, he knew that his only advantage was that he really didn't know the assassin, and he believed that the assassin should really be a dead man, and most of them would not know about his existence, and they were just a mutual use relationship, and now, this thing has failed.

He is still gambling in his heart that the Zhu family can't find the bamboo slip he wants to destroy in his mansion, and now, as long as he can clear up the relationship between himself and his Korean doorman, and the Zhu family has come back from his mansion with nothing, he feels that he shouldn't have much to do with this assassination, at most it is a sin of negligence for his own doorman, and it shouldn't have much impact on himself and his family.

"Who is that guest?"

As soon as he heard that there was something about his doorman, Yinggao immediately frowned, not that he believed what this old guy said, but he had a doorman who was also involved in this matter, it should not be fake, if he also made it up to fool Yinggao, Yinggao believed that he himself knew the seriousness of the problem.

At that time, Ying Gao asked who his guest's surname was, and directly sent the guards to inform the Zhu family, who was still in his mansion, to find it.

But after waiting for a long time, a janissary hurriedly returned to Yinggao's side and whispered a few words in Yinggao's ear, and Yinggao frowned when he heard it.

According to the words of this guard, the Zhu family began to look in the mansion as soon as they got the news, and there were indeed dozens of guests in his mansion, some of whom claimed to be great Confucians, and some of whom were rangers, but according to the preliminary investigation of the Zhu family, most of them were some masters who sold their reputations and reputations, and a bottle was less than half a bottle.

But this old guy is really not without this doorman, and according to others, this guy has really been very close to the head of the house recently, but no one else knows what these two people are studying there every day.

But unfortunately, I heard from other doormen that he and another doorman left through the back door of the mansion about a stick of incense before the Zhu family arrived, because they didn't have an official identity in Daqin, so it was common for them to go through the back door to do their own business or drink or something, and they didn't care much.

As soon as he heard such an ending, Yinggao knew that this matter might be a little complicated, and the old guy who knelt in front of him, he said that he had nothing to do with this matter, that must be impossible, although the bizarre escaped doorman was probably the mastermind of this matter, but a doorman who didn't even have an identity, it was impossible to replace the identity of a lecturer personally selected by Yinggao so easily, but he didn't let anyone know.

Or this lecturer is simply a spy that a certain anti-Qin force has been planting in the territory of Great Qin, thinking about it this way, Yinggao really feels that he may have underestimated the depth of some anti-Qin forces before.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, what Yinggao wants to deal with most is not the problem of the Korean doorman who no longer knows where he has gone, but the problem of the patriarch of the Cao clan who is kneeling in front of him.

Ying Gao knew that through his own handling of this assassination incident, he would let more people see his attitude towards the old Qin nobles.

If he dealt with this Cao family lightly because the doorman could not be found and there was no evidence, it would be even if it was a kind of connivance to the outside world to show the old Qin nobles, of course, in Yinggao's eyes, it was also a compromise.

And if this person is directly dealt with for the crime of assassination, it will undoubtedly show that he does not miss the old feelings, and then the resentment of some old Qin nobles towards himself will completely explode.

For a while, Yinggao was also a little hesitant, he was the emperor of Great Qin, he naturally had the right to do what he thought was right, but if this matter might cause public anger, especially if people like Meng Yi and Feng Quji were involved, Yinggao would have to think about it.

Judging from the fact that Meng Yi was able to argue with the Zhu family in front of him before, Meng Yi had more or less revealed some of his attitudes to himself, at least he still regarded himself as a nobleman of Lao Qin, so once Yinggao took any more radical measures, the sad emotions of the rabbit and the fox would inevitably appear in Meng Yi's mind.

After thinking for a while, Ying Gao sighed slightly, he still decided that he should not make such a hasty decision on this matter, because the crime of assassinating the emperor is too big, according to Qin Law, once he opens his mouth, the three clans of the Cao family will almost be gone, and he is still in the absence of solid evidence.

"Today's ......"

But just when Yinggao was about to say that he would lock up the patriarch of the Cao clan first, he saw the Zhu family panting at the door of the side hall, holding a ball of things in his hand, obviously running all the way from the Cao family's house for the first time.

Everyone's eyes were almost all focused on the things in the Zhu family's hands, and just when Yinggao and others didn't see what it was, the patriarch of the Cao clan, who was kneeling on the ground before, suddenly didn't come up in a breath, so he pulled over.

Obviously, he was very stimulated, and the source of the stimulus was what the Zhu family was holding in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this thing was found in a secret place in this house, and you will know the reason for this assassination when you see it."

After finishing speaking, the Zhu family handed the bamboo slip to Yinggao's hands with both hands, and Yinggao noticed that the Zhu family's hands were still a little trembling, obviously, the weight of this thing should be very large.

When Yinggao looked at this bamboo slip, the others almost didn't dare to breathe, they also wanted to know what was recorded in this bamboo slip, but of course, they had to wait for Yinggao to see it first.

When he saw the contents of this bamboo slip, Yinggao suddenly knew why this sixty-year-old man was so frightened that he smoked it directly, because what was written in it was really enough for them to drink a pot.

To be honest, when he saw the content on this bamboo slip, Ying Gao also didn't believe his eyes for a moment, and then there was a little bit of chilling, he didn't expect that the patriarch of the Cao clan was just against his rule, and even wanted to assassinate the tip of the iceberg among his people.

According to their promise on the bamboo slips, it is to devote themselves to the cause of assassinating Yinggao one after another, that is to say, if the Cao family fails today, it doesn't matter, there will be a Zhang family to continue to do this tomorrow, unless they are all dead, otherwise this matter will not be over.

Ying Gao looked at this bamboo slip and couldn't help but think that if he really didn't find this bamboo slip, he really didn't know when he would be destroyed.

What is evidence called, this is called evidence, and it is naked evidence, Yinggao read it once, and threw it on the table with a 'snap', he really didn't want to look at it anymore, and he was angry after reading it!

The side hall was as quiet as death at this time, although Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Xiao He and a few of them wanted to know what was written on the bamboo slip, but they also knew that once they read it, they were afraid that it would cause a great change in the Great Qin Dynasty and even in Xianyang City.

"Captain, take a look at the contents of this bamboo slip."

After a long while, Yinggao finally raised his head again, pointed to the bamboo slips on his desk, and said to Meng Yi, who looked anxious.

Yinggao's appearance is almost something Meng Yi has never seen, the Yinggao he has seen, it is basically all smiling, even if it is in a war, or in an unfavorable situation, Yinggao has never lost his signature smile, but now, it is obviously lost.

Gritting his teeth and picking up the bamboo slip on the table, Meng Yi opened it with his trembling hands, and as soon as it entered his eyes, Meng Yi understood why Yinggao had such an expression, and looking down, his hands also trembled unconsciously.

Of course, he knows all the families written above, and in his impression, after the first emperor took power, these families were still very supportive of Daqin, and the slogans were shouted very loudly, but why did they start planning to assassinate the emperor in just a few years.

There is such a person among the old Qin nobles, which has not been seen in the history of the Qin State for hundreds of years, Meng Yi immediately understood why Yinggao had such an expression, nothing else, chilling! As the emperor, he didn't enjoy happiness in the palace every day, but did his best for Daqin, but in the end, he was treated like this by the old Qin nobles who should support him silently behind his back, so sour, Meng Yi couldn't help but shudder when he thought about it.

After Meng Yi finished reading it, his face was completely pale, and he saw that Yinggao didn't move, so he silently handed this bamboo slip to Feng Quji, who was older and had seen more things, but when he saw such a thing, he was so angry that he almost blew his beard and stared.

Who is Yinggao, that is his granddaughter's husband, in case Yinggao is assassinated, it will be a catastrophe for the Feng family, so Feng Quji supports Yinggao no matter what Yinggao says, and now seeing that someone is behind him to tear down the stage, can he not be angry.

In the end, Xiao He also finished reading this thing, and it was finally put back on the table in front of Yinggao.

"Captain, what should you do about this?"

Ying Gao's short sentence was still at a considerable level, he didn't ask Xiao He, didn't ask the Zhu family, and didn't ask Feng Quji, but directly handed over the initiative in this matter to Meng Yi.

On the surface, this is obviously a respect for Meng Yi, the head of the three princes, after all, since Yinggao has asked so, it should basically be done according to the routine that Meng Yi said.

For Meng Yi, this is indeed from the emperor's trust, which can be regarded as a great honor, but at the same time, it is also a heavy burden, which is Yinggao asking Meng Yi to forcibly change his own thinking.

He wanted Meng Yi to face those comrades-in-arms who had been in the same trench as him, Yinggao knew that it was the same root and why he was too anxious, Meng Yi and those other old Qin nobles were born from the same root in the current situation in Xianyang City, and now, let him judge these people, obviously to let him show his own attitude.

Meng Yi swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, in the court of Great Qin, as a Tai Lieutenant, he had also dealt with many people, but this time, it was undoubtedly the most difficult one for him, he glanced at the patriarch of the Cao clan who had passed out on the ground, he knew the size of that huge family, and he also knew how many lives he would carry on his body if he really said something.

But it was no one else in front of him, it was the emperor of Great Qin, and he knew in his heart what the emperor wanted him to do.

Meng Yi knew that compared with Xiao He and the Zhu family, his status in Yinggao's heart must be slightly worse, the reason was nothing else, it was that there was no huge family behind them, and behind him there was almost the largest family in Xianyang City that needed to be measured.

Although he had already given a death order in his own family, if any of the clansmen did not obey the emperor's will, they would be expelled from the family, but he also knew that it was difficult for him to take care of everything, and since Lu Jia became a counselor, their Montessori name had never come out of Lu Jia's mouth, and Meng Yi certainly understood why.

"Your Majesty, although these families are all old Qin nobles, but they dare to plot the life of the king, and gang up in such an extreme way, once the king does not investigate, for the stability of my Great Qin Dynasty and the problems of Xianyang City, it will be a catastrophe, so according to my Great Qin's Qin law, the families that appear on this bamboo slip are all no different from rebellion, and they should all be caught, after asking...... Raze the three tribes! ”

The last four words, Meng Yi almost exhausted his strength to be able to say, Yiqi three clans, although there are only four short words, but what kind of bloody wind is behind this, he understands too well.
