Chapter 75: An errand for you
Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng was alone, sitting on a high platform, looking at the records on the table, with a strong interest in his eyes, but more greed!
That's right! It's greed!
An emperor with a heart for the land, a unique greed for the land!
With those words of Ran Fang written on it, there is a bigger world beyond Great Qin!
He had never heard of any of these things.
Now it seems a little too ridiculous.
But if it's true, doesn't that mean that he Daqin can get even bigger?!
These territories will all be included in the territory of Great Qin in the future!
At this moment, Zhao Gao came back from outside the palace and came directly to Yingzheng.
Especially when he went to Xianyang Prison, it was impossible to hide it from Yingzheng's eyes, so it was better to come in person.
"Slaves, see Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng raised his head, glanced at Zhao Gao, and said slowly: "Get up." ”
From his tone, Zhao Gao didn't hear the displeasure, so he was relieved.
He stood there and saluted respectfully towards Yingzheng, "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the second prince have already left Xianyang." ”
"All the best."
After speaking, he stood in place and paused for a few seconds before continuing: "The slave also went to Xianyang Prison, thinking of going to see Gongzi Fusu and Mr. Ran Fang. ”
"I was afraid that I would talk too much, so I came out after a few words of greeting."
Ying Zheng's face did not change much, and he didn't seem to pay much attention to this matter.
This attitude made Zhao Gao a little confused, does Your Majesty know or not?
Or do you not blame yourself if you know?
"Your Majesty, please condemn you."
Looking at Zhao Gao's appearance of admitting his mistake, Ying Zheng stared at him with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see something else in his eyes.
"No problem."
Having said that, but in his mind, he thought of what Ran Fang said, is this Zhao Gao really a traitor?
Thinking of the last refined salt case, and looking at what Ran Rang said this time, Ying Zheng's suspicion of him is getting deeper and deeper.
From Xianyang Prison back to Zhangtai Palace, the time will not be too long.
But now, Zhao Gao came back after a delay of half an hour, so where did he go in half an hour?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's eyes changed a little, and when he looked at Zhao Gao, he also carried a hint of threat.
"You know Hu Hai best, do you think he can investigate the corruption case in Surabaya County this time?"
This question made Zhao Gao stunned for a second, His Majesty asked himself this question last time in the refined salt case, and then he was inexplicably imprisoned in Xianyang Prison for so long, and he also lost a Yan Le.
Now I even asked again, is this going to send myself to Xianyang Prison again?
Zhao Gao's heart sank, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
"Your Majesty, with the wisdom of the second son, this matter should not be a problem."
"The only thing I'm worried about is that there have been changes in the officials of Surabaya County over the years, and it will be difficult to investigate those old cases."
"However, Your Majesty has always been thoughtful in doing things, and there should be a perfect way."
Hearing his answer, Ying Zheng lowered his head slightly, thinking of what Zhao Gao said in Xianyang Prison.
He also said that there was a solution to the grain matter, and now the corruption case is still the same, is this his idea?
Or does he think that someone in the DPRK can solve it?
Because he had some trust in Zhao Gao before, Yingzheng would not deliberately investigate what he did.
Now it's different, Ying Zheng began to doubt Zhao Gao, so what he said and did before, Ying Zheng began to re-quantify.
"Zhao Gao, do you think this corruption can be done with the small county guard of Surabaya County?"
Perhaps he didn't expect Ying Zheng to ask this, the look of surprise in his eyes did not escape Ying Zheng's gaze.
There was also a moment of weakness in his heart, and he was also seen by Yingzheng.
Just for a moment, he immediately lowered his head, for fear that his other thoughts would be seen through by Yingzheng.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the minions dare not speak falsely."
"However, the slave feels that His Majesty is reasonable, there are not a few silver taels for disaster relief, and a county guard does not have such great ability."
"If there are really corrupt people, then the ministers of the court will definitely not be able to get out of it."
"It's better for Your Majesty to secretly send someone to investigate and check the ministers of the court to see if they are involved in the corruption case."
When he said this, Zhao Gao was also thinking about it in his heart.
He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would say some real names, and then his sin would be great.
Especially his own people, if he is found by His Majesty, he really can't eat and walk around.
After speaking, he cautiously raised his head and made sure that Yingzheng's expression had not changed much before he was relieved.
Just when he thought that Ying Zheng was just a test to ask, he heard Ying Zheng say: "Do you think it is appropriate for anyone to investigate this matter?" ”
This is another proposition.
Zhao Gao wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, His Majesty is a set of how he speaks and does things now.
His Majesty would have asked him questions before, but only casually, and it wouldn't worry him much.
It's different now, he always feels that there is something in Yingzheng's words, as if he just says a name, and His Majesty will really use this person.
Thinking about it this way, then he has to think about this matter carefully.
"Your Majesty, this matter is a major event in the DPRK, and the servants dare not speak falsely."
"There are so many capable people in the court, as long as they are capable officials in Great Qin, this matter can be entrusted to them."
"The minions trust His Majesty's judgment."
After speaking, he raised his head and bumped into Ying Zheng's smiling eyes, which made his heart tighten.
It's as if my mind has been shattered, and it's very unsettling.
Just when he was thinking about it, he heard Ying Zheng say: "It makes sense." ”
"Then I'll leave the matter up to you to investigate."
"We must find out this corrupt person! Don't let any of them go! ”
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Gao knelt on the ground with a spirit.
Now is the critical juncture, he has just pushed this matter to Feng Quji, and now he is going to take over this case from His Majesty......
This matter is a hot potato, and no one dares to take it.
And he is the person who knows the inside story best, let him investigate, how to investigate?
If he usually took it, but now he is a thorn in His Majesty's side, and at this juncture he investigates, and he doesn't dare to do anything.
"Your Majesty......"
"The slave is only willing to follow behind His Majesty and serve His Majesty diligently, I am afraid that the slave will not be able to handle such a big thing!"
"I hope Your Majesty will be considerate, and then I will choose one more person."
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with gloomy eyes, he was a temptation to Zhao Gao.
If he took this matter generously, he might still feel that Ran Fang's words might be biased, but now that Zhao Gao has repeatedly refused, it seems that this matter is too boring.
Moreover, Ran Fang was assassinated in Xianyang Prison, this incident was at the same time when Zhao Gao went to Xianyang Prison, how could it be such a coincidence?
It's hard not to associate these two things.
Especially Ying Zheng, who is suspicious by nature, is a little more suspicious of Zhao Gao.
He suddenly had his own thoughts in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "No need, this matter is up to you to investigate." ”
"If there are any clues, they must be reported in a timely manner."
"As for the corrupt person, go directly to Xianyang Prison!"
Since Ying Zheng said so, then this matter is determined, even if Zhao Gao is unwilling in his heart, he has to take this matter next.
"Whoa!"
"The slave will live up to His Majesty's expectations."
