At night, the Xianyang Palace, which was already curfew, sounded the sound of chaotic horses' hooves, and a carriage galloped in the inner courtyard of the imperial city.

The First Emperor was reviewing the folds at this time, and after a few more folds were approved, the First Emperor decided to rest early, but at this time, an attendant hurriedly rushed in, bowed beside the First Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Gongzi Fusu, the Minister of Staff Meng Yi has something important to ask to see." ”

The First Emperor was slightly displeased: "What is so important, I have to ask to see him late at night." ”

Displeasure returned to displeasure, and after a moment of silence, the First Emperor put down his hand, looked at the attendant, and ordered, "Let them in." ”

The chamberlain left in a hurry, the first emperor picked up the fold again, a glance and three lines, read it quickly, and approved a word on it, at this time, there was a hurried footstep from outside the hall, and soon, Fusu and Meng Yi walked into the hall and knelt down to salute: "See Your Majesty, may my emperor live long live long live." ”

The First Emperor smiled and waved his hand: "You two get up." ”

The two got up, and Fu Su arched his hand and said: "Father, Lord Meng found out that Prime Minister Wang Juan did die in assassination, and besides, the person who assassinated Wang Juan and the person who assassinated his son and the minister came from the same group of assassins, please call the shots!" ”

This sensitive topic immediately attracted the attention of the First Emperor, and he couldn't help but look at Meng Yi, who immediately stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since the minister learned that the prime minister died violently, he thought about this matter day and night, so he secretly ordered someone to reconnoitre, and followed the vine to touch the melon, and sure enough, in a ruined temple outside the city, the assassin was captured. ”

The First Emperor's eyes were red at this time, he looked at the two of them, and said coldly, "Go on." ”

"The assassin confessed that he was ordered by Zhao Gao to assassinate Fusu, and after the failure, Zhao Gao quietly killed all the assassins, only because he was ordered to assassinate Wang Juan, he was able to escape, but in the past few days, Zhao Gao ordered his younger brother Zhao Cheng to chase and kill this assassin, by mistake, this assassin was captured by us." After Meng Yi finished speaking, he high-fived the door three times, and the two Qin soldiers pressed into the assassin named Abang.

Abang was so frightened that he trembled, as soon as he entered the main hall, he immediately knelt in front of the first emperor and cried: "Your Majesty the Emperor, it's not my fault, it's all Zhao Gao who instructed me to do it, you can spare me!" ”

The First Emperor was extremely angry, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Spread the decree, Xuan Zhao Gao, Li Si, enter the palace immediately!" ”

Outside the hall, there was the sound of the inner servant singing, at this time, the first emperor looked at Gongzi Fusu, sighed, and said helplessly: "The emperor has been wronged, I must investigate this matter strictly!" ”

"Thank you, Father." Fusu said goodbye, at this time, the first emperor's eyes couldn't help but fall on Abang, a short gaze, the first emperor seemed to remember something, when Fusu was assassinated, he handed over the case to Li Si to deal with, but for some reason, this case sank into the sea, but it didn't work, could it be that Li Si was also suspected of it?

Is it that all this is a great trap, the first emperor began to doubt in his heart, and at this moment, the attendants outside the palace shouted: "Zuo Prime Minister Li Si, the CRRC Mansion ordered Zhao Gao to meet him." ”

With the shouting, the two walked in slowly, came to the first emperor, knelt down and saluted: "See my emperor, may my emperor live long live." ”

After the two saluted, the First Emperor did not let them get up, but stared at them quietly, I don't know how long later, the First Emperor suddenly shouted: "Zhao Gao, Li Si, can you two be guilty?" ”

Zhao Gao's heart trembled, but he still suppressed the panic in his heart, and Li Si also gritted his teeth and replied: "The minister doesn't know ......."

The First Emperor pointed to Ah Bang on the side and said angrily, "Do you know this person? ”

The two looked back, Zhao Gao found that the person in front of him was the assassin, although many things were arranged by Zhao Cheng, but only this assassin was personally summoned by himself, thinking that there would be such a big hidden danger left today, Zhao Gao felt remorseful in his heart, at this time, the first emperor shouted angrily: "Don't you confess?" ”

"Minister...... I really don't know. Zhao Gao and Li Si quibbled at the same time, at this time, the First Emperor got up angrily, looked at Li Si, and reprimanded: "That day, I ordered you to thoroughly investigate the assassination case of Fusu Gongzi, why did this case not end in the end, do you dare to say that you don't know?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are indeed no clues in this case that day, please Your Majesty investigate!" Li Si kowtowed back, and on the side, Zhao Gao also kowtowed and said urgently: "Your Majesty, don't harm Zhongliang in vain because of one person's words!" ”

"Harm Zhongliang in vain?" The First Emperor laughed angrily, stared at the two of them coldly, and said hatefully: "This matter, I will hand it over to Meng Yi to deal with, put Zhao Gao in prison, and interrogate him strictly, as for Li Si, since it has nothing to do with this matter, forgive it for the time being, you all retreat." ”

Everyone sang a promise and prepared to leave, but the angry eyes of the First Emperor suddenly fell on Abang, he stretched out his hand to Abang, and roared angrily: "This person, the rod is killed!" “

。。。。。。

At night, Li Si hurriedly returned to the mansion, Zhao Gao was thrown into prison, and Meng Yi personally tried the case, which shows that the Fusu faction will rise again, and Zhao Gao was bent on suppressing Fusu, but in the end he lifted a stone to hit himself in the foot, how stupid!

Thinking like this, Li Si became more and more panicked in his heart, if Zhao Gao's matter was not handled well, he was very likely to be implicated by Zhao Gao, not only was his position not guaranteed, but I am afraid that even the more than 70 members of the Li family would not be spared.

At this time, his son Li You's words echoed in Li Si's heart, perhaps, his son saw more thoroughly than himself, and he was obsessed with Zhao Gao, so he was embarrassed to be in cahoots with Zhao Gao, and at this time, how should he get rid of his relationship with Zhao Gao? Lees wandered anxiously through the hall.

。。。。。。

Three days have passed, in addition to the detention of Zhao Gao, it seems that this case has been forgotten by people, and the first emperor did not mention it, and did not include the people involved in the case, and watched and interrogated, which seems to be unreasonable, some people who have seen through the political situation are secretly discussing, perhaps, the first emperor has no intention of rectifying Zhao Gao, but the situation is forced by the times, and he has to put on some postures.

But for Meng Yi, it is a fight to the death, if you can't catch the handle this time and kill Zhao Gao, once he makes a comeback, he will definitely die, but at this time, Zhao Gao still denied it, tight-lipped like a bottle, he always refused to admit it, and appointed assassins to assassinate Fusu and Wang Juan.

And the only witness, Abang, has been sentenced to cane punishment by the First Emperor, for the sake of today, he can only forcibly force // force Zhao Gao to confess, let the First Emperor order Zhao Gao to be executed, in order to never suffer in the future, as for Zhao Gao's family and those who are in the same faction as Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, they can be slowly cleaned up, the main leader Zhao Gao dies, and the rest of the people will be like headless flies, messing into a pot, cleaning them up, just a matter of raising hands.

At this time, in the depths of the prison, Meng Yi personally interrogated Zhao Gao, and three punishments had been used, but Zhao Gao had always refused to speak, today, Meng Yi had made up his mind, and was ready to use strong methods to directly draw the detention, report to the First Emperor, and condemn Zhao Gao to death.

A basin of cold water was poured down, Zhao Gao exclaimed, woke up from the coma, Meng Yi had a hideous face, wandered a few steps in front of Zhao Gao, and asked coldly: "Still refuse to admit your guilt?" Do you want to be beaten to death? ”

As soon as Meng Yi's words fell, Zhao Gao raised his head and laughed, and sneered coldly: "Meng Yi, what are you?" Want to kill me? There are no doors! ”

Zhao Gao spit out phlegm, the phlegm was full of blood, at this time Zhao Gao felt that the suffocation in his chest was much better, and laughed: "Your Majesty will not give up on me, in a few days, I will definitely get out of the prison, at that time, I will let you die a good death!" What generations of generals, what meritorious societies, that's all fart! Wait! ”

When Meng Yi heard this, he was furious, personally picked up the whip, and whipped it three times, and then ordered: "Keep pumping until he confesses!" ”

A subordinate general came over and said softly: "If he is fighting, he is really dead!" ”

Meng Yi's face darkened, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "When he faints, draw a charge for him directly, and then hand it over to me, and I will report to Your Majesty!" ”

"Yes...... This way. Without waiting for the subordinate general to finish speaking, Meng Yi shook his hand and reprimanded: "If there is anything, I am responsible, you just have to carry it out." ”

"Whoa!" The general clasped his hands into fists, and after saluting, he picked up the whip and walked towards Zhao Gao with a cruel smile.

Not long after, Zhao Gao's screams sounded again in the prison......

。。。。。。

The Dongjun meteorite case broke out in the 35th year of the First Emperor, and the meteorite that originally fell in Dongjun suddenly added seven words during transportation, which read: The First Emperor died and divided.

This is a great challenge to the imperial power, this is also the most taboo sentence of the first emperor, at this time, the news came back to Xianyang, the first emperor was furious, the Zhao Gao case that had just broken out, had made the first emperor feel irritable, but there was another incident, the first emperor was in Xianyang Palace at this time, and he was very angry.

Hundreds of officials knelt on the ground, did not dare to persuade each other, the construction of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, because of the Zhao Gao case, was temporarily stranded, Meng Yi in charge of the supervision of the work was temporarily transferred back to Xianyang, and Meng Yi repeatedly folded the first emperor, has Zhao Gao plotted wrong, sent someone to assassinate Fusu, Wang Juan and other crimes, please order the death penalty.

However, this twist and turn is like a stone sinking into the sea, and the first emperor did not approve it once, which makes many people in the court think that Zhao Gao is about to make a comeback, and such a big thing cannot defeat him, I am afraid that in the near future, the first emperor will reuse Zhao Gao.

Some people are happy and some people are sad, at this time, the outbreak of the meteorite case pointed directly at the emperor's uncle and the imperial historian Feng Zheng, the two of them are duty-bound, when the first emperor was angry, Shaofu Zhang Han arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is extremely strange, and the minister believes that this matter should be strictly investigated." ”

"Investigate this matter?" The First Emperor silently recited a few words, suddenly raised his head, and ordered: "Yes, this matter must be strictly investigated to see who is behind the trouble!" ”

After speaking, the First Emperor's gaze walked around the faces of everyone in the main hall, and he secretly thought in his heart, and soon, he said hatefully: "Especially Ying Ziying and Feng Zheng, these two people must be strictly investigated, you can do this matter, give me a satisfactory answer!" ”

Zhang Han was flattered, if this matter was handed over to him, it would show that the First Emperor did not implicate himself in Zhao Gao's case, which also showed that he was extremely important and trusting in the heart of the First Emperor at this time, thinking like this, Zhang Han was moved in his heart, and kowtowed: "The minister must do his best to thoroughly investigate this case, please rest assured!" ”
