Immediately afterwards, after Wei Qian retreated, Lu Boyang actually stood up and said to Zhao Hai: "For the sake of the Great Qin Guozuo, Your Majesty still has no heirs. ”

"I also ask Your Majesty to expand the harem as soon as possible to increase my Great Qin's luck and lay a good foundation for the next generation of Great Qin."

Lu Boyang's next words were also very straightforward, that is, the emperor, you are being assassinated too often now, what if you burp that day, there is no successor to Daqin.

So hurry up and take a concubine.

Zhao Hai heard this, and originally wanted to put the matter aside.

After all, at this moment in his heart, there is nothing more important than Daqin to develop the economy and technology.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the ministers actually knelt down and asked Zhao Hai to open the harem to accept the concubine, which had the meaning of death.

At this moment, all the ministers knelt in front of Zhao Hai, and rarely stood on the united front, asking Zhao Hai to take a concubine.

Zhao Hai listened to the suggestions of many courtiers, and immediately waved his hand and agreed.

These courtiers have been with him for so long, and it is the first time that they have made such a sensible suggestion, which makes him quite satisfied.

For this reason, Zhao Hai also specially rewarded Lu Boyang, the elder of the Three Dynasties, with a gold belt to reward this old minister.

It's really cool to be an emperor, thousands of concubines in the harem are still innocent, and it's not enough to be disliked by concubines.

……

On the bank of the orchid pond, Zhao Hai fished here.

A person walked slowly behind him, with a steady pace and a calm face, looking like an authentic old peasant.

But if anyone really treats him as an old peasant, he will inevitably suffer a great loss.

Because he is Han Ying, the leader of the Black Ice Terrace, the highest spy and punishment agency in Great Qin.

Han Ying walked in front of Zhao Hai and said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”

"Say it." Zhao Hai knew that Han Ying must have come for the previous case.

Han Ying said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already checked. ”

"In Concubine Yue's dormitory, I haven't found any signs of broken intestine begonias."

"The minister is now investigating the imperial doctors one by one, looking for the possibility that they were poisoned."

Zhao Hai looked at the fishing rod in his hand and asked, "I know." Han Ying, what do you think of Concubine Yue's assassination this time? ”

Han Ying said calmly: "Your Majesty, in the near future, Concubine Yue Niangniang can't move." ”

Zhao Hai suddenly turned his head, and the look on his face was quite surprised: "What do you mean?" ”

I saw Han Ying's old body bow a little more, and said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to deal with Concubine Yu, or not the best time. ”

"Now Your Majesty's foundation is still weak, and Wang Xiuhu has just been restored to the position of General Shenyu. And with Wang Xiuhu in front of him, how big can Concubine Yue's sin be? You must know that Concubine Yue Niangniang is the concubine of the harem. ”

"Just by relying on the evidence that the maidservants in Concubine Yu's palace are assassins, in addition to Concubine Yue, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers and arouse the anger in the hearts of hundreds of officials."

"The minister thinks that His Majesty should give the court lieutenant a little more time, at least it should not be too late to wait until they find enough evidence before making a decision."

Zhao Hai listened to Han Ying's words, withdrew his surprised gaze, and turned to look at the fishing rod in the middle of the lake.

"I'm just like you think, if I don't have ironclad evidence of Concubine Yue's rebellion in my hand now, I can't cure her at all."

"The towering tree of the Liu family, if you want to completely uproot it, it can't be done overnight, and the future will be long, and there is no hurry."

"By the way, although we don't deal with Concubine Yue for a short time, it doesn't mean that our surveillance of her has been relaxed."

"I guess that Concubine Yue won't sit back so easily. You must be urgent and strict in guarding Concubine Yue of Yonggong in this short time. ”

"I don't want to hear about the harem causing trouble for me anymore."

Han Ying nodded and said, "No." ”

At this time, a person hurriedly ran next to Lan Chi, Zhao Hai and Han Ying turned their heads at the same time, and saw Wu Chuxiong, the court captain, running in a hurry.

Wu Chuxiong didn't even have time to talk to Qin Song, so he said, "Your Majesty, something happened!" Something happened! ”

"All the maidservants and eunuchs who were arrested by Yonggong before all bit their tongues and committed suicide! Including the maid sword light. ”

After Zhao Hai heard the news, his expression turned cold.

This is not good news.

The perpetrators of the Wang Xiuhu case and the assassination of Concubine Yue are dead, so the difficulty of investigating it has become further increased.

It can even be said that there is no proof of death, how can this find out the real murderer?

Seeing that Zhao Hai's face was getting more and more ugly, Wu Chuxiong couldn't wait to bury his head in the ground.

The atmosphere at the scene was icy for a while, almost making Wu Chuxiong feel like he was in an ice cave.

Wu Chuxiong knew that he should say something, so he immediately clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has tortured those prisoners to extract confessions before. ”

"Daqin's torture has been exhausted, but they are just dead ducks with hard mouths, and they refuse to say anything, and they don't know what ecstasy soup the mastermind behind the scenes poured into them."

At last they could not bear it anymore, so they bit their tongues and killed themselves. When some of the prisoners learned of the news, they all followed suit, so that all the prisoners were wiped out. ”

When Han Ying heard this, he immediately became a little angry, and before Zhao Hai could speak, he said, "Lord Wu, what you did is a bit excessive." ”

"What are you Tingwei specifically doing, you don't need me to remind you, if you can't ask for the slightest bit of information, why can't you even look at so many women?"

Han Ying has always been Wu Chuxiong's idol, and at this moment, Wu Chuxiong is also trembling and afraid to reply.

Zhao Hai waved his hand and motioned to stop Han Ying.

Zhao Hai said: "Okay, Commander Han, I believe that Wu Chuxiong has done his best." ”

"I didn't expect that those female eunuchs and the like would have such a hard temper, and they would not even confide in torture."

"The sword is light and dead, let's renegotiate the solution."

When Wu Chuxiong heard this, his heart was uncontrollable.

He didn't expect that Zhao Hai didn't get angry with him. Recently, the fear and awe of Zhao Hai in his heart have become deeper and deeper, I don't know what's going on, as long as he sees Zhao Hai, a string in his heart will collapse.

Zhao Hai looked at Wu Chuxiong calmly and said, "I will give you one more thing." ”

"If you mess up this matter again, then you can resign and return to your hometown, and give the people below a chance."

As soon as Zhao Hai's words changed, Wu Chuxiong immediately felt his heart cold.

He hurriedly shook his knees and kowtowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Your Majesty! Minister's Guarantee! This time! No matter what kind of task Your Majesty has entrusted to your minister, the minister will definitely go to the soup and do everything to your Majesty's satisfaction. ”

Han Ying on the side said: "Lord Wu, don't just talk about it, it's not appropriate, Your Majesty's words are not playing with you." ”
