Chapter 113: Feng Qujian compromised
For a while, the situation in the study room was reversed.
Feng Quji, who was held hostage, looked at the guards standing at the door, and there was no panic on his face at the moment, and he even relaxed a lot.
He nudged the knife around his neck with his hand, but didn't push it.
"Zhao Gao, this is in the old man's mansion, do you really think you can get out of the house?"
"Now that you let the old man go, the old man can not blame the dirty things you did before, and he can also help you get out of this Xianyang City, and no one can find you wherever you want to go when the time comes."
"Otherwise, it is difficult for the old man to guarantee that His Majesty will not know about those things, and the old man will not leave you a whole corpse at that time!"
Originally, he thought that in his own mansion, even if Zhao Gao was arrogant, he would be frightened by his momentum when he saw so many guards, so he put himself down.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao not only didn't let go, but pulled his arm tighter and tightened it, as well as the knife in his hand, Feng Qujian felt that it was already attached to his neck.
As long as Zhao Gao moved slightly, his life would not be guaranteed.
Zhao Gao looked at the guard at the door with a sneer, the expression on his face was very arrogant, he lowered his head and glanced at Feng Quji contemptuously, and said in a cold tone: "The right minister can't help but look up to me Zhao Gao too much." ”
"Do you think I have no way to leave Xianyang City?"
"I reminded the right minister, I have poisoned this knife, if the right minister struggles and accidentally cuts his neck, then there is no medicine stone."
"It's still the right phase, let's think about it."
This time it was Feng Qu's turn to panic, he didn't expect Zhao Gao to really dare!
Similarly, when those guards heard Zhao Gao's words, they didn't dare to make any moves, and they all looked at Feng Qujian with blank eyes, waiting for his orders.
Feng Qujian tried not to move his body, for fear that his life would be lost if he was not careful.
"Lord Zhao, you and I are both people on a grasshopper, why do you have to make a point where you are dead or alive?"
"I know what I think, but I'm worried that Your Majesty will blame you for the corruption case and the assassins, but Feng Xiao really won't listen to me, but I have other ways to protect you once."
"As long as those people die in Xianyang Prison, you destroy all the evidence, and then there is no proof of death, even if the Tingwei Mansion wants to investigate, there is no evidence to punish you."
"At that time, I will help you say a few more kind words in front of Your Majesty, won't this matter be over?"
"What do you think?"
Zhao Gao didn't speak, he also knew that Feng Xiao would not obey Feng Quji's orders.
This time I came to find Feng Quji, firstly, to test whether Feng Quji would protect himself, and secondly, to splash this basin of dirty water on Feng Quji's body, especially the assassin's matter really has nothing to do with him.
As long as Feng Quji recognized this matter, he felt that with his many years of experience by His Majesty's side, he could fool the corruption case.
Now that Feng Quji is willing to compromise, then he is naturally willing to be a favor.
"The right minister said so, then I also believe that the right minister is a person."
"However, this murderous thing is bothering the right minister to do, and I have always been reluctant to get my hands dirty."
Hearing that Zhao Gao was willing to compromise, Feng Quji immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll let people handle this matter immediately, and no one will suspect you."
"Can you let it go now?"
Zhao Gao's movements in holding the knife did not change in the slightest, he raised his head and pretended to think for a moment, and said, "I heard that Meng Yi only caught one assassin, and the other one should be in the hands of the right minister, right?" ”
"I think the right minister can hand over the man now, and by the way, tell him to make it clear that this matter has nothing to do with me, and as for the excuse, I think the right minister should also have it."
"And the letters exchanged between the right minister and the assassin, I want to read it too."
This time it was Feng Quji's turn not to speak, he knew that Zhao Gao was not so easy to fool, but he didn't expect him to be so cautious.
The Assassin was in his possession now, but if he were to be handed over, he would have no hole cards.
Moreover, he didn't trust Zhao Gao very much.
Throwing the assassin's matter down, it is hard to guarantee that he will not say some other things, after all, Zhao Gao has always been able to speak in front of His Majesty, and even Li Si sometimes needs Zhao Gao's help.
"How?" Zhao Gao saw his hesitation, and said a little unceremoniously, "Isn't the right minister unwilling?" ”
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"It can be regarded as my blessing Zhao Gao to let the right minister accompany me for a ride!"
As he spoke, the movements of his hands became a little heavier.
Feng Quji immediately felt it, and he hurriedly spoke out to stop it, "No, no, no, don't!" ”
After speaking, he looked at the guard in front of him anxiously and ordered: "Go, send a message to Meng Yi to tell where that person is hiding!" ”
"And go to the study and bring that box from my bookshelf!"
The guards who heard the order immediately ran away from the two of them.
Seeing this, Zhao Gaocai was a lot satisfied, and his mood was much more relaxed.
"Thank you for your honesty."
"I believe that with the help of the right minister, I will be able to get through this matter safely, and I will not forget the kindness of the right minister when the time comes."
……
At this time, Ying Zheng had also returned to the palace.
He ordered someone to bring Zhao Gao over, even if his body was not healed, he wanted him to come to see him at this moment.
Yan Tong stood on the high platform, a little flustered in his heart, afraid that Zhao Gao had not returned from outside the palace at this moment.
And he couldn't even see His Majesty's mood, and he didn't know what His Majesty's attitude was towards Zhao Gao, but he always felt that he had no bottom in his heart.
After a while, the little eunuch who went to find Zhao Gao came back, but he was not followed by Zhao Gao.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao is not in the palace."
"The servant went to inquire, and someone saw Lord Zhao go out of the palace, and no one knows where he went."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face suddenly became a little ugly.
His gaze suddenly turned to Yan Tong, who was standing beside him, and looked at Yan Tong's somewhat empty eyes, and immediately understood everything.
"Yan Tong, do you know where Zhao Gao went?"
Although the tone of Ying Zheng's words was very bland, Yan Tong could also hear the murderous meaning.
Until this moment, he knew that His Majesty had no trust in Zhao Gao, and he was afraid that he would not let Zhao Gao go this time.
He knelt on the ground, and immediately had a plan in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minions don't know where Lord Zhao has gone."
"It's just that before he left the palace, he told the minions that he was going out to solve some things, as if it was about a corruption case."
He didn't even dare to raise his head when he spoke, for fear that His Majesty would find out that he was lying.
In fact, this is just his speculation, after all, now that Zhao Gao wants to save his life, who knows what he will do.
And when he said this, he also took himself out, pretending that he didn't know the inside story of this corruption case, and even if Zhao Gao was defeated, he would still be safe and sound.
At this moment, Zhao Gao didn't intend to demolish him, nor did he intend to let him stand up, just glanced at him slightly.
"Order Meng Yi to bring Zhao Gao to me immediately."
"The garrison will go with you."
