Chapter 145 Zhang Liang Exposed
Hu Hai immediately explained how he met Xu Liang.
In fact, Xu Liang was Zhang Liang. He wanted to find out why the imperial court suddenly had so much food, farm tools, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and even methods of making salt. Anyone who brought these out would be sought after by people.
The whole world will respect him, and no matter who wins the world in the future, he will be treated as a distinguished guest, and an official position is absolutely indispensable.
However, neither the court nor the people knew anything about this matter, which meant that only Ying Zheng knew about it, or several people knew about it but kept silent about it.
Zhang Liang, who originally planned to give up the investigation, found an opportunity. That is, after he and Xu Zhi came out of Tingwei's mansion, they met Hu Hai.
At that time, Hu Hai was bullying his subordinates, and suddenly he revealed that Zhao Gao had betrayed him and dared to kill him.
After Zhang Liang heard this, he began to analyze Hu Hai's words and felt that Hu Hai knew something, so he deliberately walked up to Hu Hai and said that he could help Hu Hai solve his troubles.
Hu Hai originally didn't plan to ignore Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang's words made Hu Hai change his mind.
"If I can't help the young master solve the troubles in his heart, I will let him do whatever he wants."
In this way, Zhang Liang invited Hu Hai to sit in the tavern, and then told him that Zhao Gao betrayed him and wanted to kill him.
As for what happened in Qin An's own village, Hu Hai still knew that.
However, Hu Hai told Zhang Liang that those farm tools, the Four Treasures of the Study and other items were all made by one person, and there would be more good things in the future, so Zhang Liang should not make a fuss.
He also told Zhang Liang that some seeds were lost, otherwise there would be hundreds of kinds of seeds. As for the yields of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, they were all true.
These are all that person's things.
Hu Hai probably knew that he had spilled the beans, so he stopped talking.
Zhang Liang also told Hu Hai that death is the easiest. The painful thing is watching the relatives around him die one by one, but he is powerless and lives with guilt all his life.
Hu Hai thought this was a good idea, but he went even further and directly asked Zhao Gao to kill his entire clan with his own hands, which had a better effect.
However, Hu Hai wouldn't think about his own IQ to come up with such an idea?
So the first emperor exposed him as soon as he opened his mouth, and even told about Zhang Liang.
Fortunately, Zhang Liang used a pseudonym at first, but even so, Ying Zheng was already suspicious of him.
"Come on, come with me to Zhuangzi to have a look. Meng Yi reported that the seeds have sprouted."
"promise."
Immediately, Ying Zheng brought Hu Hai and Meng Yi to Zhuangzi. There were not many guards here. Ying Zheng believed that no one in the world would dare to take advantage of these seeds.
Anyone who comes to destroy these seeds will be the enemy of all the people in the world.
Especially potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, which produce the best yields.
The person in charge of Zhuangzi was Xu Zhi. When he learned that Meng Yi was coming, he immediately put aside his work and came to see him.
However, he not only saw Meng Yi but also Ying Zheng.
After Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, he immediately knelt down and said, "I have seen your Majesty."
"No need to be polite, just get up and talk." Ying Zheng said calmly.
"promise."
Xu Zhi stood up.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "How are the seeds? Have they sprouted?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, they have all sprouted and broken through the soil. According to the manual, some vegetables are almost ready to be picked," Xu Zhi said excitedly.
"Very good, these are the treasures of Da Qin, the treasures of millions of people in the world, you should take good care of them.
As long as you can cultivate more seeds, I will give you a great blessing and tell you the origin of these seeds. "Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Xu Zhi also showed excitement on his face and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if it is not for the world, but for the farmers, I will take good care of the seeds."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "I believe you. Go and call Xu Liang. I have something to ask him."
"Promise." Xu Zhi responded.
Although Xu Zhi was very confused, why did Ying Zheng find Zhang Liang? He could only hope that Zhang Liang would stop talking nonsense and expose his identity. This was the crime of deceiving the emperor.
After Xu Zhi found Zhang Liang, he directly explained his purpose and reminded Zhang Liang not to reveal his real name.
In fact, Zhang Liang would not have said his name without Xu Zhi's reminder. He had assassinated the First Emperor many times.
Not long after, Xu Zhi brought Zhang Liang to Ying Zheng.
"I have met your Majesty," Zhang Liang saluted Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "There are very few people who have seen me neither humble nor arrogant. You, a small farmer, can actually do it, which makes me look at you with admiration."
Zhang Liang replied: "Reporting to your majesty, I have peace of mind, so I can be neither humble nor arrogant."
"You are neither humble nor arrogant, Zhang Liang. Do you think I won't recognize you because you have changed your name and identity?"
Zhang Liang frowned slightly, how could Ying Zheng know his identity? How can this be?
"What? Is he Zhang Liang?" Hu Hai was shocked.
Meng Yi immediately shouted: "Come here, catch the assassin."
Immediately, two Black Dragon Guards came forward and arrested Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was arrested without any resistance from me.
Even if he wanted to resist, he was no match for the black dragon.
Xu Zhi knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng, saying: "It's none of your business here. Cultivate the seeds well. My promise just now remains unchanged. Leave it to me now."
"No." Xu Zhi lowered his head and left the scene, only glancing at Zhang Liang from the corner of his eye.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Liang and smiled: "Are you very curious about how I know your true identity?"
"I would like to hear the details." Zhang Liang said slowly.
"Do you still know him?" Ying Zheng pointed at Hu Hai and said.
"He is your son, Master Hu Hai." Zhang Liang said calmly.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, your flaw is him. You should never look for him. Others don't know, but I know him too well.
He is just an idiot, how could he come up with such a way to torture Zhao Gao. "
Zhang Liang instantly understood that it was Hu Hai. It turned out that he had found Hu Hai to make Ying Zheng suspicious.
Needless to say, Hu Hai must have confessed himself.
"There is one thing I am very curious about. Why do you know that I am Zhang Liang? The two of us should have never met, and you should not even know that I exist."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Let him go."
The two Black Dragon Guards immediately released Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang relaxed his muscles and said, "If you want to kill me, you can do it now."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I don't want to kill you."
Zhang Liang said in shock: "You won't kill me? Since you know me, you should know that I have assassinated you. Aren't you afraid that after you let me go, I will assassinate you again?"
