Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
Tingwei's Mansion.
The door is a place where there are few people and no one can see it, and it has become even more deserted in recent days, and the jailers guarding the prison are also unable to keep up their spirits.
There have been too many rumors lately, and the sky in Xianyang is about to change? This is the point that ordinary people feel the most, under Zhao Gao's high-pressure panic atmosphere, the people of Xianyang, who have not had freedom of speech for a long time, have recently found that there are many fewer eyeliners around them who are secretly peeping, which is not the most haode proof.
Day, night.
The angry Zhao Gao rushed into the Tingwei Mansion with a team of attendants, most of the attendants were the doormen in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they lived by relying on Zhao Gao on weekdays, and did a lot of things for the tiger, and in Xianyang City, they had the nickname of "Ten Dogs of Zhao Mansion".
As soon as Zhao Gaogang entered the Tingwei Mansion, he ordered the Tingwei to be interrogated from the official to Li Si's father in prison, and the Tingwei of Daqin was originally concurrently served by the imperial historian Feng Zai, but he committed suicide and died in Feng Zai last year, and Zhao Gao did not want to be controlled by others, so he took it upon himself, and only set up an official to manage daily affairs.
Li Si has been silent in the past few days, no longer asking to see Emperor Hu Hai as noisily as before, he just stayed quietly in the prison cell, staring at the only little light in the window with his eyes blankly bright, and even the prison food for two meals a day is too much leftover, not necessarily how much he eats.
"Gong Li, have you eaten well and slept peacefully these days?" In Zhao Gao's opinion, Li Si's expression was obviously to laugh at him for being in trouble, which showed that Li Si was clear about his youngest son's move into Xianyang.
"Ah, it's Prime Minister Zhao, I don't know what happened to find Li?" Li Si was stunned for a moment, feeling very incomprehensible about Zhao Gao's ridicule, these days, Li Si also thought a little, Hu Hai is not the first emperor, he played again and again like this, and it was impossible to make Hu Hai change his mind and reuse him.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier.
In this world, there is no flower for a hundred days, and people cannot always be powerful, Li Si can become the prime minister of Qin, and he has done a good job under the first emperor of the ages, he is definitely a capable person, he just can't turn the corner for a while.
"What's the matter? Prime Minister Li, don't you know? Outside the city, your son has already been on the Baqiao Bridge, and I'm afraid it won't be long before your father and son can be reunited, which is good news. Zhao Gao sneered and said quietly.
"Who are you talking about? Who is my son? Li Si replied blankly, in his impression, there were only two sons, Li You and Li Zheng, as for Li Yuan, a bastard born by a lowly Lingzhi and kept in the next place, he was not the son of his dignified prime minister of Qin at all.
"Li Yuan, wasn't it born to you Prime Minister Li Cheng? Don't worry, I won't reunite you father and son, if you want to see each other, you can go underground and meet each other. Zhao Gao was crazy, his expression was already a little hideous under the extreme depression. Xianyang is close to being in danger, and he is about to roll up the covers and flee, and the person who drove him away is still the son of an old opponent for many years, which makes Zhao Gao how can he calm down the anger in his heart.
"What did you say?" Li Si's old and thin face showed an unusual flush.
"I said, you're dying. Right away! Zhao Gao grimaced and replied hatefully.
"Die! Haha-, am I finally going to die? This is providence, providence--! Li Si's eyes were silent, and these days, he has gradually figured it out.
No matter how many letters you want, you can't impress the hard-hearted heart of Qin II Hu Hai, and even if he Li Si has more credit, he can't match a slanderous word from Zhao Gao. It's just weird, at the beginning, he misheard Zhao Gao's slander, it's just weird, the selfish distractions in his heart are too heavy.
"Come on, bring all the Xing disciples in the prison over, let them take a good look, and see off Prime Minister Li Cheng!" Zhao Gao shouted loudly, just executed Li Si so simply, he was unwilling, he wanted to let Li Si die a notorious death, and he died full of grievances, only in this way can he let out a bad breath.
Zhao Gao has not taken care of face, he has been waiting for a long time for the reinforcements of the general Zhang Han, at this time is being contained in the area of Julu, Julu's Qin army, because of the role of Li Yuan's fluttering butterfly, and subtle changes have occurred, Zhang Han after receiving Zhao Gao's rescue order, delayed returning to the division, precisely because of the containment of the border army.
Xianyang, the fall is imminent, and Zhao Gao is almost crazy.
――。
Feng Xuan didn't expect that he and Li Zheng would be able to meet last time.
As an official in the same dynasty, Feng Xuan is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Li Zheng is an official outside the doctor's door, the two have similar interests and hobbies, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, even when they are in prison, they are all in Tingwei Prison.
Zhao Gao wanted to execute Li Si's father and son, this news spread among the prisoners, and next, whether the crazy Zhao Gao would order the execution of all the people, no one knew.
On the execution ground of the Tingwei Mansion.
Several executioners with big shoulders and round waists are sharpening their knives, and the executioners who used to sharpen quickly and vigorously in the past are surprisingly slow tonight, although they are low-status executioners, they also know that today's scene is extraordinary.
With the return of the defeated soldiers, it has spread in Xianyang City, General Xiao Li who led the soldiers outside is the son of Prime Minister Li Cheng, this is to avenge his father, now, if they obey Zhao Gao's order to kill Li Si, then the next army enters the city, without General Xiao Li's hands, several of their torturers will be stoned to death by the surrounding villagers.
"Why don't you do it yet?" Zhao Gao waited impatiently for a while, and finally couldn't bear to ask.
"Prime Minister, this beheading job should be done beautifully, whether the knife is fast or not is the most critical, if the knife is not cut to the real place, then it is not easy to deal with Xing Tu going crazy." Tingwei replied with a smile.
"Why, you can't kill with one knife, can't you cut it twice, three times? If you can't wait, get out of the way! Zhao Gao was furious, what was this Tingwei thinking, he knew it as soon as he guessed, it was nothing more than wanting to sell Li Yuan.
The two guests of the Prime Minister's Mansion strode out, snatched the beheading knife from the hand of the torturer, and raised it high, just waiting for Zhao Gao to give an order, and he was about to raise the knife and fall down.
"Kill!"
"Kill the thief!"
Suddenly, in the Tingwei Mansion, shouts of killing rang out, and in the silence of the middle of the night, it was extremely harsh.
"Who?" Zhao Gao was shocked, listening to the sound outside, there were no less than 100 people, and the gate of the Tingwei Mansion did not play any role, and was smashed open by a group of black-clothed men holding various weapons.
"The one who took your life?" At the head, a rough voice sounded, and the group of black-clothed people quickly rushed towards Zhao Gao.
"Quick, stop the thief." Zhao Gao panicked, and in a hurry, he didn't care about killing Li Si and Li Zheng again, so he only took a few henchmen and fought and retreated.
At this time, Zhao Gao was also full of regret in his heart, he had long expected that there might be an accident in Xianyang City, so he should let Yan Le send a team of men and horses to suppress the formation.
At this time, Zhao Gao couldn't think about whether there were any available soldiers in Yan Le's hands.
The night fight in the Tingwei Mansion lasted only half an hour, and after those black-clothed masked people rushed and killed for a while, they did not continue to chase Zhao Gao and others who fled to the street, but drove out five or six cars from the dark in an organized manner to pick up Li Si, Li Zheng, Feng Xuan and other felons one by one.
