Meng Yi.

Although this person is now a clerk in the Tingwei Mansion, he is tall and burly, with hair under his chin, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Meng Tian.

"It is worthy of the blood of the Shandong Han."

Zhao Tuo looked at Meng Yi's figure and whispered in his heart.

This Mengshi clan was not originally from Guanzhong Qin, but from the Qi country.

Meng Fu entered Qin from Qi and was the king of Qin for four generations. He led his army eastward several times, violently defeated the Three Jins, and successively captured nearly 100 cities. Now the Sanchuan County and the East County of the Qin State can be established, and the contribution of Meng Fu is indispensable.

Meng Wu, the son of Meng Fu, is also a famous general of the Qin State. His grandson Meng Tian is now serving as a lieutenant general, and Meng Yi is playing for the Tingwei Mansion.

The Meng clan can be called three generations of loyalty, and they are the most trusted courtiers of the Qin Dynasty.

In the face of Zhao Tuo's order, Meng Yi respectfully accepted the order and left the Tingwei Mansion with Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo knew that the Mengshi brothers would be favored by the Qin Wangzheng in the future, and Meng Tian would be the general, attack the Xiongnu in the north, and lead the Qin army to guard the frontier. Meng Yi often served by the side of Qin Wangzheng and won his trust.

So Zhao Tuo intended to befriend Meng Yi, but he didn't expect to hit a soft nail at Meng Yi.

In the face of Zhao Tuo's kind conversation, Meng Yi just smiled and didn't answer, without any intention of making friends.

Zhao Tuo was bored and didn't say more.

In the Qin Kingdom, not everyone will be like Yang Xiong, who can get close to Zhao Tuo as soon as they meet.

When the two of them entered the Qin Palace and came to the side hall where Qin Wangzheng was.

Zhao Tuo saw that in addition to Wei Yi and Yao Jia, who were originally staying in the palace, there was one more person.

CRRC government order.

Zhao Gao.

It's just that at this moment, Zhao Gao no longer has the calm and smiling appearance of the past, but his forehead touches the ground, kneeling in the hall, if you pay attention, you can even see Zhao Gao's body trembling slightly.

Zhao Gao?

Zhao Tuo was stunned.

How could Zhao Gao be here?

Didn't Qin Wangzheng ask him to summon Chen Peng to come over to try the official of the Bangwei Mansion who betrayed the information to the envoy of the Chu State?

Why is the criminal not there, but Zhao Gao is kneeling in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a thought appeared in Zhao Tuo's mind, remembering a rumor he had heard in his previous life.

Could it be that this is going to happen?

Zhao Tuo was surprised in his heart, but he was not slow, and replied to Qin Wangzheng: "Your Majesty, the minister has asked the Tingwei Mansion to come here."

"Chen Mengyi, meet the king."

Meng Yi also stepped forward to salute and did things at a glance.

Qin Wangzheng bowed his head slightly and asked Zhao Tuo to retreat.

"It turns out that Meng Qing is on duty today, or not, Meng Qing has always enforced the law fairly, and today is just the first trial of this eucalyptus for the widow."

Zhao Tuo stood at the door, asked Yang Xiong, who was guarding the door for him, to move to the side, pricked up his ears, and eavesdropped on the conversation in the house.

At the behest of Qin Wangzheng, Yao Jia began to tell Meng Yi about the matter.

This time the matter is not complicated, it is Cao Peng, who is named Fan Yi of the Bangwei Mansion, who secretly leaked Qin's love to the envoy of the Chu State, and its nature is like treason, and the crime deserves death.

This is indisputable.

Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC government, was not involved in this incident, and the leak had nothing to do with him.

But unfortunately, Zhao Gao is Fan Yi's recommender.

According to the Qin law, sit together!

Zhao Tuo stood outside the house, his scalp tingling when he listened.

If you want to become an official in the Qin State, in addition to relying on military exploits, there are two main paths.

The first is to be a son, that is, to enjoy special treatment by virtue of his father's merits.

The sons of low-level officials can enter the school, and the descendants of Gaojue *** can enter the Lang system, and even more so, they can directly become officials.

The second is recommendation, the incumbent official is qualified to promote others to official positions, and can even allow the person to be promoted to hold a higher position than their own official position.

However, this approach involves great risks.

The law of the Qin State stipulates that if the person being recommended commits a crime, the person who recommended him will be punished for the same crime!

Meng Yi stood in the hall, quietly listening to Yao Jia's story, and had made a decision in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Gao raised his red and swollen forehead and looked at Meng Yi with a pleading expression.

Although Zhao Gao didn't speak, Meng Yi knew that he was begging himself to let him live.

On the emperor's couch, Qin Wangzheng spoke.

"Meng Qing, what is Zhao Gao's crime?"

Zhao Gao bit his lip and stared at Meng Yi with a pair of eyes, his life was now in the hands of this person.

Meng Yi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the words that came out of his mouth were firm and ruthless.

"The king ordered his ministers to be convicted, but the ministers did not dare to be afar. According to the law, whoever appoints others and does not do good will be punished for his sins. The person cited by Zhao Gao today colluded with the envoys of the princes and leaked the military information, and his crime should be punished. Zhao Gao should also sit together in accordance with the law, remove his eunuch status, and punish him according to the law."

Hearing Meng Yi's ruthless words, Zhao Gao suddenly collapsed to the ground, his face full of despair.

He himself is the legal master of the Qin State, and he has long memorized the law, so how can he not know what kind of fate he will fall into.

Zhao Gao was born in the Hidden Palace, from a humble background, suffered a lot when he was a child, and finally climbed to his current position, and has always cherished his current life.

He is careful in his words and deeds, for fear that if he stumbles, he will turn back into a lowly person.

That Fan Yi once saved his life in the Hidden Palace, and he was recreated.

When Zhao Gao was just developed, he was full of spirit, and he did not have a strong sense of distress, and when he saw his former benefactors begging for each other, he used his authority to secure a vacant position in Fan Yi's state governor's mansion, and he should repay his kindness.

Later, Zhao Gao gradually became proficient in the law, and secretly regretted that he did not do well in this matter.

It is enough to repay the favor with gold and jade jewelry, and the person who is promoted to serve is leaving a hidden danger to himself.

It's just that the wood has been completed, and Zhao Gao regrets it too late. With the passage of time, Fan Yi has never had a problem, so that Zhao Gao gradually forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, today this hidden danger suddenly broke out, and as soon as it came, it sent itself to the Jedi.

While Zhao Gao was unable to repent, he was also full of resentment towards Meng Yi.

The law is nothing more than human affection.

Qin Wangzheng did not send himself to the Tingwei Mansion for a formal trial, but called you Meng Yi to the side hall, what does this mean, don't you Meng Yi know?

A good one doesn't dare to be a law, and a good one should be punished by law.

Zhao Gao's eyes were full of resentment, and he wanted to devour Meng Yi alive.

However, Meng Yi didn't look at him at all, and stood in the hall with his head held high, full of righteousness, which made Qin Wangzheng can't help but nod.

Officials who enforce the law impartially in this way are the pillars of the country.

"King! King!"

"Please also ask the king to spare the lives of his ministers for the sake of their diligence and loyalty."

"My lord, spare your life."

Zhao Gao lay on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, and let out a desolate cry for mercy from his mouth.

Meng Yi made the verdict on behalf of the Tingwei Mansion, if nothing else, he Zhao Gao would be killed by Qin Fa along with Fan Yi.

In today's world, the only one who can save Zhao Gao is Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng was on top, listening to Zhao Gao's mournful voice, looking at his most trusted henchman who was usually his whole body trembling, and he had become a tearful person.

Qin Wangzheng's eyes swept into the hall.

Wei Yu closed his eyes and leaned against the pillar, as if everything in the temple had nothing to do with him.

Yao Jia was expressionless and watched coldly. He will only hurt people, not save people.

Qin Wangzheng's gaze looked outside the hall.

"Zhao Tuo."

He called.

"Yui."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly entered the hall and saluted respectfully, "Please give the king's orders."

Qin Wangzheng stared at the young man and said, "You must have understood this matter outside the palace, and the widow asked you, in your opinion, should Zhao Gao die?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo was shocked.

King Qin actually handed over the decision of Zhao Gao's life to himself?

He looked at the ground lying on his stomach

Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao also raised his head and looked at Zhao Tuo.

There was a lot of anticipation in his eyes.

Save me!
