In Meng Yi's view, a gambler has not experienced the beauty of life, and under the appeasement of his gentle policy, then Cao San will definitely confide in him some truths.

Even if this method doesn't work, then under his coercive means, he will definitely tell everything.

He didn't expect that Cao San gave him a third answer.

On this day, when he was dealing with other matters, he heard his subordinate Shu Gao report: "Lord Qiqi, something happened in prison." ”

He immediately put down the brush in his hand, got up and walked to the courtyard outside.

"What happened?"

Shu Gao stood at the door, his figure was a little restrained, his head was slightly lowered, and he didn't dare to look up at Meng Yi's eyes.

"Yes...... Cao San killed himself in prison. ”

"Kill yourself?!"

Hearing this news, Meng Yi's expression cracked for a moment.

He really couldn't understand that a gambler still had the courage to kill himself.

Moreover, although his prison is not as strict as Xianyang Prison, it is not so simple to do anything in prison.

What's more, Cao San, he sent someone to keep an eye on him, how could something happen?

It's still such a big deal!

"When?"

"Why didn't anyone find out in time, how could he kill himself in prison?!"

"What are those guards doing?!"

Seeing him look so angry, there was obvious embarrassment in Shu Gao's eyes.

Since following Meng Yi's side, in addition to being angry with Zhang Han, he really rarely saw Meng Yi look so angry.

He stood still, not knowing how to explain it.

"Your Excellency...... The guards are not to blame for this. ”

"That Cao San doesn't look like an ordinary person, and he killed himself today as if he was ordered by something."

"How can ordinary people have the courage to kill themselves?"

"And his performance in prison these days is not a gambler at all, but like a trained soldier."

"Even if his subordinates are strictly guarded, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be negligence, if he is bent on death, then who can stop him?"

This Cao San is the person who Meng Yi personally came to the door and asked for him from Xianyang Prison, and His Majesty also knew about it.

Now that he died in his mansion, how could he give an explanation to Ran Fang and His Majesty, and how could he continue to investigate those things.

It's a slap in the face!

It is also provoking the laws of Great Qin and the guards of Xianyang City!

"With all his behaviors in the past few days, how can this official not see his background?"

"Today, all the soldiers who guard the cells will be punished with fifty rods and fined for half a year!"

"Check!"

"Where did Cao San's self-killing weapon come from, I must find out!"

There is nothing wrong with this punishment, and it is not even a punishment directly.

Shu Gao didn't have any complaints, he also understood how much impact Cao San's death would have here, and he just hoped that Meng Yi wouldn't be too angry.

Seeing that Meng Yi had a result on this matter, he was relieved in his heart.

"Well, my subordinates will do it immediately."

"But...... How should Cao San's matter be handled? ”

"Do you want to notify the commander?"

"After all, the person was taken away from Xianyang Prison at the beginning, and if the commander investigates it, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to explain."

Meng Yi turned his head and glanced at Shu Gao, why didn't he think about it when he said those words just now?

However, this matter is really difficult to do.

"I'll write a letter in a while, you go to command the embassy to go around, and you will personally hand over the letter to Ran Fang."

"I will enter the palace now and tell Your Majesty everything about the matter, whether it is responsibility or punishment, I can only accept it."

After speaking, he turned around and went back to the office room, and wrote down his suspicions about Cao San, as well as Cao San's self-murder today.

After taking care of all these things, he drove the carriage straight to the palace.

What surprised him was that he met Zhang Han at the gate of the palace.

Meng Yi and Zhang Han have always been at odds with each other, and they are not in the same place as much as possible when they are doing things in the court, so there are very few opportunities for the two to meet.

Now that the two have entered the palace at the same time, it is inevitable that there will be a contest in their hearts.

Especially Meng Yi, when he saw Zhang Han, the pace under his feet suddenly accelerated a lot.

He must go in front of Zhang Han, so that he can only follow his own pace, so it seems that Zhang Han deliberately followed him.

Just after the two of them passed through the layers of palace gates, Meng Yi couldn't help it.

He was a little depressed in his heart, he had done it so obviously, that Zhang Han could not help but say a word to himself.

Most importantly, he didn't even get angry, which made him feel powerless to punch the cotton.

Angry, he stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Han, and said with some indignation in his words: "Lord Zhang is entering the palace at this moment, isn't there something important?" ”

"It's a pity that the matter discussed between this official and His Majesty is a major event in the city, and I am afraid that it will be hard for Lord Zhang to wait at the door for a while."

Zhang Han was still a little surprised by Meng Yi who stopped suddenly, he saw Meng Yi walking at a high speed as soon as he got off the carriage, and thought that he was unwilling to go with him.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yi was willing to stop and wait for himself.

But as soon as the look of surprise appeared, I heard his disillusioned words.

He still maintained that faint smile on his face, as if he didn't pay attention to Meng Yi's words.

"It doesn't matter."

"It is also the official's honor to wait at the door for a while."

This Meng Yi was even more angry, and his pace was even faster than just now.

When Zhang Han came to the door of Zhangtai Palace, he saw Meng Yi standing outside the main hall, panting and waiting for Wei Liang's report.

His appearance is even a little embarrassed.

Seeing Zhang Han, who was calm and relaxed, Meng Yi directly turned his face to the side, and hummed softly in his mouth.

At this moment, Wei Liang walked out of the main hall.

"Xuan-Zhang Han, Meng Yi meet-"

Meng Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that what he said about Cao San just now, His Majesty would ask Zhang Han to enter the palace with him!

Even if he was a little reluctant in his heart, he had to walk into the hall with Zhang Han.

"See Your Majesty."

The two of them knelt down at the same time, and this scene looked much more harmonious than the outside.

"Get up."

Hearing Yingzheng's voice, the two got up from the ground.

Then, Meng Yi rushed in front of Zhang Han and said, "Your Majesty, it was an accident that Cao San died in prison. ”

"The minister has ordered someone to start an investigation, and I believe that there will be a result soon."

"However, after Cao San today, it is even more clear that there are other people behind Cao San, otherwise he would not kill himself in prison."

"The person who sent the message to the minister that day already knew that he had received someone else's money, so he would send the news of Cao San to the minister, and following this clue, the minister had already found a village outside the city, and there should be news in the near future."

He not only explained the cause and effect clearly, but also explained the series of remedial measures he took after the incident.

In this way, even if Yingzheng wants to punish him, he is willing to give him a chance to redeem his merits.

"Okay."

"Behind Cao San, do you know what else happened?"
