Palace.

Zhao Gao was leisurely recuperating from his injuries in the room, but received news from Yan Tong that the Tingwei Mansion had begun to investigate the corruption case.

Moreover, the evidence of corruption against Lian Liangcai has been completely overturned, and His Majesty is beginning to suspect him.

There is also the matter of the assassins, and His Majesty even suspects that he has done it.

Although His Majesty is still in the stage of suspicion, as long as the Imperial Governor's Mansion investigates everything clearly, His Majesty will definitely be furious.

Especially in this embezzlement case, he offended Li Si and them, and no one in the court and the central government will speak for him, and even they want to kill themselves quickly!

When the time comes, even if Hu Hai comes back, he will not be able to escape punishment!

Now, you have to make a living for yourself.

"Where is Your Majesty now?"

"Lord Qiqi, Your Majesty has just left the palace, and I don't know where I went."

glanced at Yan Tong, His Majesty didn't take Yan Tong with him when he left the palace, that must be doubting himself.

He stood up with a spirit, looked at Yan Tong and said, "Okay! ”

"You help me watch from the palace, I will go out of the palace, and notify me in time if there are any problems."

With that, he left the palace in civilian clothes.

Out of the palace, Zhao Gao came to Feng Quji's house as soon as possible, and found Feng Quji's location without waiting for his subordinates to inform him.

Behind him, there were also people who were trying to stop him.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing that Zhao Gao was so rampant, Feng Quji was stunned for a moment and then said angrily: "Zhao Gao! ”

"You trespassed on my Prime Minister's Mansion! It's too much to take the official seriously! ”

At this moment, Zhao Gao didn't pay attention to Feng Quji's anger at all, thinking that he had framed the assassin's matter on his head, he was full of anger.

"Prime Minister, I just want to hear you explain, what's going on with the assassin?"

Hearing this, Feng Quji's attitude instantly lost the toughness he had just now, and he waved his hand at those subordinates.

"Stand down."

After they all left, the expression on his face did not relax in the slightest, but was as ugly as ever.

Looking at Zhao Gao, he said with some displeasure: "Then I want to hear Lord Zhao explain why my people are also in that corruption case." ”

"When the old man investigated the corruption case, he handed over all the evidence to you, and those were all your people, and now you have put the evidence on my head, what is the intention, Lord Zhao doesn't have to pretend to be confused!"

Both of them have handles in each other's hands, and Zhao Gao's attitude is not so firm.

He smiled slowly and sat down on the couch beside him.

"Why should the right prime minister be angry, if I don't arrest those people, it is inevitable that some people will suspect that you have something to do with me?"

"I'm here to relieve the prime minister's worries."

"Presumably the prime minister also knows, now that the corruption case is being re-investigated, isn't it very simple to exonerate those people with the strength of the prime minister?"

"But my matter, I'm afraid it's not so easy to solve."

"Therefore, if the Prime Minister of the assassin does not satisfy me, then I will not say anything in front of Your Majesty, and the Prime Minister should not blame me."

As he spoke, a hint of gloom flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes, which meant that he would end up together.

Seeing this, Feng Quji also knew that if this matter was uneasy to appease Zhao Gao, I was afraid that he would also be implicated.

After thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face, "What did Lord Zhao say?" ”

"It's better like this, you stay in my house tonight, I'll send someone to find a way, and things will naturally come to an end tomorrow."

Zhao Gao's face sank, stared at Feng Quji's eyes and said, "Prime Minister, aren't you stupid for me?!" ”

"If this matter is found out, where will I have a chance to live?!"

"For the sake of our allies, I came to you to give you a reminder, if you behave like this, then don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"

Feng Qujian saw that Zhao Gao did not enter, and thought about "dying together" with him, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Zhao insists on this, then let's see if I have the opportunity to go to His Majesty to see me."

"Since Lord Zhao is here today, I will stay in the house for a night!"

The meaning of these words is to lock Zhao Gao in this mansion.

When the matter comes to a conclusion, then Feng Qujian will hand over Zhao Gao, and he will still be appreciated by His Majesty, but who cares if this Zhao Gao is alive or dead?

In addition, he said that Zhao Gao ran away and was arrested by himself, so His Majesty would not take it to heart about colluding with officials, as for the assassins at that time, it was all done by Zhao Gao alone, and no one would think of himself.

I have to say that when Feng Quji cooperated with Zhao Gao, he had already thought of making Zhao Gao his scapegoat.

Zhao Gao stared at Feng Quji, from Feng Quji's words just now, he had already guessed his result.

But is he the one who is tied up?

His face sank and he stood up sharply.

Just when Feng Quji thought he was compromised, he suddenly took out a dagger from his cuff, and before Feng Quji could react, the dagger was already against his neck.

"Zhao Gao, what do you want to do?!"

Zhao Gao looked at Feng Quji's panicked face, and the dagger in his hand pushed forward slightly, allowing him to feel a trace of nervousness, but it did not cut his neck.

"Prime minister, you'd better be quiet, otherwise my knife will be unstable."

Seeing that Feng Qu was no longer struggling, he said, "What am I going to do?" ”

"Of course, I am looking for a way for myself, and I hope that the Prime Minister will cooperate well."

At the juncture of life and death, Feng Qujian couldn't care about the majesty of the prime minister, for fear that Zhao Gaoyi would accidentally cut himself.

He hurriedly said: "You say, you say, you say what you want." ”

"Lord Zhao, calm down, we can discuss it."

Seeing him like this, Zhao Gao was satisfied.

"You go and send someone to find Feng Xiao."

"Let him take the files of the past few days, and say that you want to read them, and let him bring them all."

Feng Quji immediately understood what he meant, but he didn't quite agree with his statement.

"I'm afraid it can't be done."

"Then Feng Xiao is Li Si's person, how could he listen to the dispatch of this official?"

"What's more, now that Feng Xiao and Meng Yi are investigating the case together, I am afraid that if they want to change the file, they will not be able to do it at all."

"Your Majesty asked Meng Yi and Feng Xiao to investigate together, just because they were worried that someone would interfere with it, if Meng Yi was a close confidant of His Majesty, he wanted to change the file unless Meng Yi agreed."

Zhao Gao's movements were a little relaxed, obviously he was also thinking about the possibility of Feng Quji's words.

He hasn't been with His Majesty for the past few days, there are some things he really doesn't know, if he really can't change it, then he has to leave this Xianyang City first.

He guessed that Hu Hai should be on the way back, as long as Hu Hai was in hand, he would be able to return to this Xianyang City and resume his previous life!

And Feng Quji, who had been nervous, could feel that Zhao Gao was a little absent-minded at the moment, and he immediately shouted out: "Someone!" ”

Unexpectedly, Feng Quji dared to call someone, and Zhao Gao's face suddenly changed, which caught him off guard.

"Bang!"

The door was opened by the subordinates, and they were all shocked when they saw this scene, and at the same time, some guards rushed in, and they all drew their swords and looked at Zhao Gao in a waiting.

"Release the prime minister!"
