"Li Si?" Li Zhao was slightly stunned, this name was very familiar, if it was the Li Si he knew, it must be Li Si's evil slave.

But how did he become evidence?

Suddenly, he thought of something and was shocked.

Since arriving in Chang'an Township, there are always some figures wandering outside Chang'an Township, and later through enslavement, there is Li Si's figure, after Li Si collapsed, he didn't pay attention to it.

"Could it be that Li Si has become Jia Xiong's evil slave?"

Li Zhao's face became solemn.

A bad guess fills my mind.

"Pass on Li Si." The waiter was drinking, and after a while, Li Si was brought up.

Li Zhao fixed his eyes, and sure enough, it was the evil slave of the Li Mansion, and his face became more and more ugly.

If this fang learns about the situation in Chang'an Township and informs Jia Xiong, what will be the consequences? Li Zhao couldn't believe it.

He secretly scolded himself for being careless and ignorant of some people's sinisterness.

"Li Si, you will tell everything you see in Chang'an Township." Jia Xiong saw Li Si and motioned for him.

Li Si stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, his eyes fell on Li Zhao in the middle of the crowd, vaguely revealing a vicious color.

"Don't be afraid, with Master Zongzheng in charge of you, no one can touch you." Jia Xiong was afraid that Li Si was afraid of Li Zhao, so he said cheeringly.

Li Si was not afraid, but was thinking about what kind of words to use to cause Li Zhao to die.

He wants to avenge the master, and he wants to let this man die without a place to be buried.

"No!" Li Si stared at Li Zhao viciously, not afraid that this was the court, the most majestic place in the world today.

"Lord Yuzongzheng, the villain has definite evidence that Li Zhao killed hundreds of students."

Oh!

When Zong Zheng heard this, his face was undisguised with joy, and he asked repeatedly: "Who are you?" What does it have to do with Li Zhao? How did Li Zhao kill the student? ”

"Yu Zongzheng, the villain is a slave of the Li Mansion." This 'Li Mansion' is ambiguous, Li Si's mansion is Li Mansion, Li Zhao's mansion is also Li Mansion, Li Si's mansion has been sealed, then Li Mansion is the latter.

That's what a lot of people think.

"I watched Li Zhao grow up since I was a child."

"The villain came to Chang'an Township yesterday and saw Li Zhao's enslavement and wanton killing of students, what the villain said is the truth, and he will never dare to deceive."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Zhao in unison, revealing a look of jealousy and hatred.

This son is a slave of the Li Mansion, and it is not an exaggeration to witness the killing process, and Li Si, as a member of the Li Mansion, will never lie what he said, and can be used as a witness.

Zong Zheng was overjoyed, and immediately asked Li Zhao: "Li Zhao, can you be guilty, students are the hope of my Great Qin, and Your Majesty has issued an order to treat them well, but you are good, wanton killing, do you still have my Great Qin Law in your eyes?" ”

Without allowing Li Zhao to explain, the sect master's gaze swept over Ting Wei: "Where is Ting Wei?" Dare to ask Li Zhao how to deal with this crime? ”

is also one of the Jiuqing, being shouted from such a high position, Tingwei was a little displeased, but the sect master is a member of the clan, and it is not easy to show it, so he came out and said: "According to the law, you should be beheaded, but General Li is the chief general of my court, you must not act rashly, you need to have sufficient evidence." ”

His meaning is obvious, based on Li Si's words alone, it cannot be explained that Li Zhao killed the student.

Zong Zheng didn't expect Ting Wei to speak like this, so he immediately glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Jia Xiong.

Jia Xiong understood and arched his hand: "I think everyone knows that yesterday the student went to Chang'an Township, and Dr. Zhao's uncle Sun Tong was also with him, so why not summon him to ask and know whether what Li Si said can be used as evidence." ”

When Li Zhao heard this, his brows furrowed, and his eyes glanced at Jia Xiong inadvertently.

Why did this fang let his uncle and grandson testify?

Shusun Tong has been tied up without fists and has been secretly detained in the inn, this thing is done very secretly, I believe few people know, but Jia Xiong dares to say so, is there a change?

That thought grew stronger.

When the ministers heard this, their eyes were a little strange.

They knew that Shusun Tong went to Chang'an Township with the student, but since the student was killed, Shusun Tong could not be spared, but why did he testify? Could it be that Uncle Sun Tong is not dead?

This is good news, if this is the case, then Li Zhao will definitely die.

Some people are happy to see this result, but Li Zhao is too annoying.

"Yes, Shusun Tong is also involved in this matter, he is a rare witness, Xuan Shusun Tong entered the palace." Zong Zheng waved his hand, and someone went to announce it.

In Li Zhao's worried eyes, he really saw his uncle and grandson, and his expression changed greatly.

The bad premonition just now can almost become a reality.

That is, the hundreds of people who were secretly held in the inn last night were taken away, and Wuquan and others may also have suffered.

But that's not right! He was at the inn last night, and nothing happened, and the inn he had left this morning, only an hour had passed between this hour and the hour.

The next moment, his face turned ugly.

It must have been someone who robbed the inn at this hour and rescued Uncle Sun Tong, so the gangsters were also saved.

This does not bode well.

That's right, since Li Si is Jia Xiong's person, he will definitely inform Jia Xiong about the matter of Chang'an Township, and with Jia Xiong's ability, it is not difficult to win Wuquan and others.

It's still careless!

There is really no proof of death now, he originally wanted to rely on these students to prevent the conspiracy of some well-intentioned people, but he didn't know that he was still negligent.

But fortunately, he had reported the matter of Chang'an Township to His Majesty last night, otherwise he would really die.

"Dr. Zhao, yesterday you saw that Li Zhao ordered someone to kill the student."

After the uncle and grandson came in, Zong Zheng immediately asked, not giving Li Zhao a chance to slow down.

Shusun Tong didn't have any expression, nor did he have the same appearance as before, and the whole person looked lifeless, as if he knew that he was in trouble, even if Jia Xiong told him that he would never be fine.

After glancing at Jia Xiong, he didn't say much and nodded.

"Exactly!"

He had to lie.

This morning, it was Jia Xiong who sent someone to rescue them, and asked him to testify in the court, and threatened his uncle's family.

He didn't have the strength to resist, and for the sake of his family, he could only do that.

"Haha!" After receiving a positive reply, Zong Zheng laughed, looked at Li Zhao teasingly, and shouted: "Li Zhao, what else do you have to say." ”

Li Zhao sighed, what else did he have to say, the only evidence was taken away, and there were people like Shusun Tong who lied, no matter how much he said, it was useless, but a waste of saliva.

At the moment, it is useless for him to do anything, and the only way is to see His Majesty, who alone can clear him of the trumped-up charge.

Of course, after this incident, he also knew who was going to harm him, judging from the situation in the main hall, in addition to Jia Xiong, there was also a Zongzheng who didn't want him to have a good time.

As for the reason, there is no need to dwell on it anymore.

"I don't want to say anything, I want to see Your Majesty."

He didn't bother to pay attention to Zongzheng, let alone call himself a 'minister'.

When Zong Zheng saw this attitude, his eyes rolled violently, and his anger was rising.

"See Your Majesty, are you still qualified to see Your Majesty now?" immediately ordered Ting Wei, "Ting Wei, the evidence of Li Zhao's killing of the student is conclusive, how to deal with it, there must be no need to say!" ”

"I suggest" After all, he is not the emperor, so he does not dare to make his own decisions, so he can only suggest, "Immediately split Li Zhao to set an example and comfort many students." ”

"Yes, Li Zhao has been convicted, and he should be executed immediately, please ask Ting Wei to deal with it." Jia Xiong echoed.

Ting Wei frowned.

He just didn't want to offend Zongzheng, but he was not afraid of him, and said: "Again, General Li is the chief general of my court, and the minister has no right to dispose of it, and it is still up to His Majesty to decide." ”

"You? It is obviously partial, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and there is no need for His Majesty to decide. He put aside the court lieutenant and immediately ordered, "Come on, take Li Zhao down, and immediately execute the car split." ”

These words came out, but no guards responded, which made Zongzheng's whole person want to explode.

It was still Feng who came out of the round.

"Zongzheng, as Ting Wei said, General Li is the main general, and it needs to be decided by His Majesty."

"However, Your Majesty has itchy health and does not listen to political affairs, so he can temporarily resign from his military position, wait for his guilty body to be idle, and temporarily imprisoned in Xianyang Prison, is it okay?"

Feng Quji asked Zong Zheng provocatively.

Zong Zheng glanced at Feng Quji, very angry, he didn't know that Feng Quji favored Li Zhao, but Feng Quji was the acting minister appointed by His Majesty, and it was not easy to refute, so he made such a decision.

"That's it! Li Zhao, you have been convicted, and you are now temporarily relieved of your position as the chief general and sent to prison. ”

"Come on, execute it immediately."

"No!" Finally, the guards responded, and the guards escorted Li Zhao away.

Li Zhao didn't refute it, he knew that it was useless to refute, he just waited for His Majesty to interrogate in person, but he was imprisoned in Xianyang Prison, so he was a little aggrieved.

As soon as Li Zhao was escorted away, Zongzheng's face looked better, and he was satisfied with this verdict.

He wanted to crack Li Zhao just now, but he just did it for the ministers to see, just to establish authority, and the imprisonment can be regarded as a good authority.

As for why Li Zhao was targeted, of course, it was unpleasant to see Li Zhao, and even more, Jia Xiong's box of gold.

"You still have something to do, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat."

After retreating from the court, Feng Quji did not leave the palace, and after everyone left, he quietly came to the emperor's bedroom and walked in secret.

"Your Majesty!" Feng Qujian lowered his voice and saluted.

"Hmm!" There was a thin sound from the luxurious bed, only to hear a cough, but nothing unusual, and then a response, "Who jumped out?" ”

"Jia Xiong and Zongzheng."

"Just the two, nothing else?"

"Nothing else."

"Hmmm! It seems that after Li Si was brought to justice, some people have been more restrained, no matter what, they are all my courtiers, only if there is no dissent, it's just that this Jia Xiong has a dissenting heart! ”

A sigh came from inside the curtain.

"Does he have any objections to the merchant hoarding grain?"

When Feng Qujian heard this, he also sighed, "No, don't say a word." ”

"Noncommittal? It's not leaky. ”

In fact, after Yingzheng heard Li Zhao's report last night, he immediately summoned Feng to discuss the matter of the early dynasty.

It's not false that he has an itch, but it's not that serious, it's just that he was overthinking last night and suffered from insomnia and contracted a cold, but he wanted to see how many people targeted Li Zhao, so he let Feng Quji act alone.

The merchant's hoarding of grain was also arranged in advance, and he took the opportunity to test the courtiers' reactions.

"But Zong Zheng jumped out and tried his best to refute the fact that some businessmen were hoarding grain." Feng Qujian said cautiously.

"Zongzheng? How could he be involved in this? Could it be that he also had an affair with those people? ”

As soon as these words came out, Feng felt that the entire dormitory was cold.

"The minister thinks it's unlikely, judging from Zongzheng's performance, he is just obsessed with authority, but it doesn't seem to be related to the rich businessmen."

"Humph! The people of the clan just don't let me worry, if I know that he is having an affair, the clan should also be purged. ”

"Still." Feng Qu was about to speak and stopped.

"If you have something to say, say it!"

"However, the minister found that Zongzheng had gone too far against Li Zhaozhi."

"What do you mean by that?"

At this moment, the dormitory became cold again.

"Although Zongzheng is not angry with Li Zhao for curing His Majesty and affecting his status, he will not want Li Zhao to die, but what he did today is obviously to want Li Zhao to die, which is too urgent."

"How dare he?" Ying Zheng lifted the curtain and revealed an angry face, a little short of anger, but he was not depressed.

"Is he really having an affair with those people?"

Feng Qujian hurriedly explained: "With Zongzheng as a person, it shouldn't be, if you accept a bribe and let it target Li Zhao, it is possible." ”

"Humph! That old puppet is really sick. ”

"Your Majesty is angry, this is just the minister's speculation, maybe the minister is thinking too much."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, but stopped talking.

Feng Qujian breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that if the emperor really wanted to pursue Zongzheng, it would not necessarily be a good thing, and the chaos in the clan would definitely affect the situation of the dynasty, and for some people, it would be a good opportunity.

After a while, Feng Quji continued: "I wronged Li Zhao this time, presumably he is very angry with Your Majesty at the moment. ”

"Huh!" Ying Zheng smiled as if embarrassed, and said: "It's strange that he is not strict enough, knowing that someone wants to target him, but he is still young!" ”

From these words, it can be seen that Yingzheng knew that the gangsters were robbed.

Feng Qujian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is wrong, Li Zhao behaved very calmly today, as if he had nothing to do with him, even if Jia Xiong and Zong Zheng were aggressive, he didn't say a word, and even when he was imprisoned, he didn't say anything, and he was very cooperative." ”

"Oh! This son's heart is rare! Whether he knew that this was my ploy, he was very relieved. ”

"The minister thinks otherwise, he should know that His Majesty will not condemn him, so he will be so calm."

"Huh! That kid still trusts me. After a pause, he continued, "Feng Xiangna, no matter how Li Zhao behaves, you still need to tell him the truth, in case he has a pimple in his heart. ”

"Of course, it's time for the next step."

At this moment, Ying Zheng's face became solemn.

"What's next?" Feng Qujian also became solemn, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Your Majesty has already frowned on the matter of the thieves and henchmen?" ”

Yes, during this time, the two often got together, mostly to discuss the affairs of the thieves and henchmen.

During the Eastern Tour, the number of thieves was as large as tens of thousands, this is a terrible problem, as Li Zhao said, such a thing happened in the Great Qin, it is impossible for the court to have no thieves and henchmen.

Coupled with the fact that Li Zhao was assassinated, he knew that those people couldn't sit still.

Li Zhao, who was a hero during the Eastern Tour, and was the one who exterminated the Sagashan Mountains, still had a big killing weapon in his hand, if it was impossible for the thieves to be unscrupulous, then Li Zhao would become their number one target.

This assassination is the beginning, Jia Xiong may be the first person, as for Zongzheng, he is just a person who is carried away by the desire for power.

So, Ying Zheng explained, and soon Feng Qujian left, and he was going to Xianyang Prison.
