Chapter 09: The Li Si Clan
"Say, who sent you," In the dark torture room, the young man was tied to a wooden stake, and he looked at a middle-aged man in an official robe with a frightened expression, this person was Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le,
Since Li Si confessed, Zhao Gao was worried that the night was long and dreamy, so he hurried to Xianyang Palace, but Yan Le did not follow, he arranged some things in the mansion, and instructed his subordinates to take good care of Li Si, and then he was about to leave, but someone came to report, the Northern Army did not know why, put in a person, Yan Le felt different, and hurried over,
At this time, he happened to catch the teenager, so he didn't hesitate to tie up the teenager and wanted to interrogate him strictly.
The young man's name is Gui Yinghao, he is a military Sima under Lotte, he is loyal and honest, Lotte is extremely important to him, this time, the task of communicating Li Si fell on Gui Yinghao, he changed his clothes, pretended to be a citizen, and hurriedly came to the prison,
I thought that everything could be completed, but after Li Si wrote the recital, Yan Le appeared, Gui Yinghao was terrified at this time, he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of these torture tools, these torture tools could torture himself to death effortlessly,
But Gui Yinghao knew that no matter what, he couldn't confess Lotte, otherwise, Lotte would be involved in this matter, and his family would also suffer twists and turns, thinking of this, Gui Yinghao shook his head slightly: "I came voluntarily,"
Gui Yinghao's words couldn't help but cause Yan Le to laugh with disdain, and after the laughter, Yan Le said coldly: "It seems, if I don't give you some color, you don't know how powerful I am,"
"Give him a stick," Yan Le ordered to the soldiers on the side,
A government soldier smiled and picked up the hand clip, the so-called ten fingers connected to the heart, as long as it was clamped by the hand clip, it would continue to be tightened until the finger was broken, at this time the hand clip had just been taken out, Gui Yinghao was already scared and screamed, like killing a pig,
Yan Le saw that he was scared, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Tell me obediently, who instructed you, I can consider it, spare your life,"
"I ...... It's voluntary" Gui Yinghao replied again, this time, Yan Leke didn't have such good patience, he snorted coldly, and ordered: "Clip,"
The soldiers slowly approached Gui Yinghao, and seeing that the clip was about to be closed, outside the door, Lotte's roar sounded: "Slow ......,"
More than 100 soldiers of the Northern Army rushed into the torture room and surrounded Yan Le and the others, at this time, Lotte had already walked in front of Yan Le, and Lang said with a smile: "Xianyang Ling is in a good mood today, why do you want to bully my officers,"
"Your officers," Yan Le looked at Gui Yinghao in disbelief, wondering, "What crime should your officers be guilty of fornicating with prisoners?"
"Fornication criminal," Lotte asked rhetorically, and then, he slapped his head and smiled: "I remembered, you mean Prime Minister Li Cheng, I asked him to go, what, is there a problem?"
"Of course there is a question, how can you fornicate with prisoners," Yan Le's voice was raised, as if with the meaning of reprimand, but Lotte was a northern army, he was not under the jurisdiction of Xianyang Ling, at this time he had already made a gesture to his relatives and asked them to untie Gui Yinghao, Yan Le wanted to stop it, but there were not many soldiers under him, so he couldn't fight hard, so he had to watch Lotte take Gui Yinghao away slowly,
Yan Le wanted to give an order to block the county government and prevent them from leaving, but after all, it was not under his own jurisdiction, Yan Le finally endured this breath,

In the side hall of Ganquan Palace, Hu Hai had just bathed and changed his clothes, his whole body was comfortable, and his mood was also very good, he came to sit down in front of the imperial case, Zhao Gao was already waiting beside him, seeing Hu Hai sit down, Zhao Gao took out a bundle of bamboo slips from his arms, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Li Si has confessed,"
"Oh," Hu Hai was surprised, stretched out his hand to take the confession, looked at it roughly, and asked with a little worry, "Have you tortured to extract a confession?"
"No, Your Majesty, please rest assured, this is the Xianyang family personally tried, and the minister has always been observing the trial, and there is no question," Zhao Gao replied respectfully,
Hu Hai nodded, as if he was in deep thought, I don't know how long passed, Hu Hai suddenly asked: "I heard that the right minister Feng went to the disease, and the imperial history Feng Zheng killed himself in prison, what is going on?"
"Your Majesty, the two of them were exposed to their true appearance, and they only felt ashamed of their Majesty, and took the initiative to ask for death, and the minister saw that they were sincere, so he agreed to their request," Speaking of this, Zhao Gao suddenly knelt down and apologized: "I didn't ask Your Majesty's consent, the minister exceeded his authority, please deal with it,"
Zhao Gao's answer did not have the slightest loophole, Hu Hai nodded slightly, and sighed: "Since they are dead, let's bury them, but Li Si is the founding minister after all, I have considered whether to open the net,"
Hearing that Hu Hai wanted to give Li Si a chance, Zhao Gao was anxious, if Li Si turned over, he was afraid that he would be in danger, after a little thought, Zhao Gao sighed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need for this, Li Si scolded His Majesty angrily all day long in prison, mediocrity, greedy for the harem, misleading the country and the people, he should be ...... one day"
Zhao Gao paused, Hu Hai had already slapped the table case angrily, and said hatefully: "He is so bold that he dares to slander me, I will let him know that no one can die well,"
After speaking, Hu Hai suddenly got up and paced in the room, and after a while, Hu Hai ordered: "Spread the decree, Li Si conspired with the enemy to commit treason, and his crime should be punished, three days after the order, the three clans will be punished, and five punishments will be added, and beheading will be shown to the public,"
Zhao Gao was secretly happy in his heart, and arched his hand: "The minister's decree,"
"In addition, the DPRK and China cannot be without a prime minister for a day, from today on, I will crown you as the prime minister of the central government, take over the post of left and right ministers, military affairs, you can handle them with full authority, I hope, you will not let me down,"
"The minister should do his best to share the worries of His Majesty," Zhao Gao prostrated on the ground and made a big salute,
,,,,,,
The sudden closure of the time-honored brand caused a lot of dissatisfied swordsmen who came to visit, they searched around, but no one knew what happened to this shop, it would be closed so urgently, only occasionally someone mentioned that someone in the family of the owner of the time-honored brand died of illness, and the owner went to mourn.
At this time, outside the East Street, a team of carriages and a team of more than 100 people rushed forward, and when they were about to reach the city gate, a captain blocked the way of the convoy and said coldly: "The city is strictly prohibited, and it is not allowed to enter and exit at will."
At this time, one of the people in the team rode out on a horse, he was the Zhonglang general Lotte, at this time he had already taken out a token, and shouted: "Obey the order to go out to do things, those who dare to obstruct it, military law is engaged,"
This captain also served in the Northern Army, he had seen Lotte, the official worshiped the lieutenant general, at this time he saw that it was Lotte, he hurriedly laughed and said: "It turned out to be General Le, the last general is rude, please forgive me,"
"Get out," Lotte shouted, and the horse took the lead in galloping out of the city, and behind, the horse convoy followed closely behind, and soon disappeared on the gallop road, looking at Lotte's arrogant and domineering appearance, the captain couldn't help but snort coldly, "What's the matter,"
Half an hour later, a forbidden army galloped and came to the city gate, and the officer held up the gold medal and shouted, "Who is on duty at the city gate today?"
"I ...... I ......" The captain hurriedly rushed, and at this time, the officer held up the token and shouted: "General Fengzhong, the forbidden army has taken over the city gate, and you can return to the camp quickly,"
The lieutenant looked at the token for a while, so he had to give up his hand and sing a promise, lead the soldiers under his command, and leave in a hurry.
On the other side of Xianyang, a team of five hundred people hurriedly surrounded the Inner History Mansion, several soldiers resisted the collision wood, shouted slogans, and crashed towards the mansion gate, boom, the mansion gate collapsed, and the soldiers swarmed in, and soon, a soldier rushed out and reported to the officer: "General, the mansion is empty,"
On the other side, in the northern army camp, Lotte's big tent was surrounded by three hundred forbidden legions, several forbidden soldiers rushed into the big tent, half a sound, they hurriedly ran out, and hurriedly said: "Forbidden army, there is nothing in the big tent, people have already run away,"
Just when the imperial forbidden army strictly grasped Lotte and his body, a forbidden army of more than 1,000 people came to the East Market, and the time-honored craftsman shop was completely sealed, and the guy had long since disappeared.
Zhao Gao's mansion, news swarmed in, Lotte was nowhere to be found, Neishi Zhou Sheng had already abandoned the official and absconded, and even his family didn't know where to go, and the time-honored craftsman shop was empty, where did they come from, and there was no clue until now,
The unfavorable news made Zhao Gao furious, and he couldn't help but vent his anger on Yan Le: "The matter is so urgent, why didn't you report me earlier,"
"My father-in-law is in the palace, I really ......" Yan Le wanted to defend, but Zhao Gao hated and said: "You can completely cut it first and then play, take Lotte first, it's not too late to tell me, now that people have run away, how can you explain to me,"
"The son-in-law is guilty and is willing to chase them personally," Yan Le knelt in front of Zhao Gao, thinking for a short time, Zhao Gao waved his hand and sighed: "Since they have already decided to flee, I'm afraid they won't show up, this matter, forget it,"
With a sigh, Zhao Gao waved his hand, "You go down,"
Yan Le nodded and left,
,,,,,,
In the early morning, many soldiers and horses were gathered in the East Market, and many Qin troops brandished weapons and escorted more than 2,000 prisoners to the execution ground.
Among the prisoners, there are old people, children, women, and men with strong physiques, some of them are the family of the right prime minister Feng Quji, some are the family of the left prime minister Li Si, and some are the family of the imperial historian Feng Zheng.
The people who watched near the execution ground all sighed and cried out for misery,
Soon, the execution ground was full of people, and both the forbidden army and the northern army maintained order at the execution ground, and built a human wall with Changge to prevent the people from pouring in.
Soon, Zhao Gao came to the execution ground surrounded by hundreds of government soldiers, beside him, Yan Le and Zhao Cheng followed closely, a soft mat was spread next to the table, Zhao Gao sat down slowly, at this time, he looked up at the sky, it was almost noon,
On the side, Yan Le saw that Zhao Gao had not given an order for a long time, so he said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, the time has come,"
Zhao Gao nodded, picked up a wooden token, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "When the time comes, all beheaded,"
Suddenly there was a chaotic cry on the execution ground, and the sound of grievances sounded, at this time, a government soldier walked quickly and whispered a few words in Yan Le's ear, Yan Le suddenly petrified, his expression was always frozen in surprise, Zhao Gao saw Yan Le's expression, and said unhappily: "What happened,"
"Yue ...... Father-in-law, the government soldiers verified that Li Hong at the execution ground was not himself," Yan Le had no confidence when he spoke, and stared at Zhao Gao with a weak heart, only to see Zhao Gao's eyes staring at the execution ground, silent for a long time,
I don't know how long it has been, Zhao Gao sighed: "Forget it, don't do everything too much, leave some leeway, I will also leave a pulse of incense for Li Si,"
Saying that, Zhao Gao shouted to the execution ground: "Chop,"
The heads rolled down, and at this time, Li Si raised his head and shouted: "Dune Jiao, I regret not being able to ...... at the beginning."
With Li Si's shout, a big knife slashed at Li Si,
Nearly 2,000 people died on the execution ground, with their heads rolling and blood flowing profusely......
