"Your Majesty! This slave has something to say!"
Zhao Gao, who originally thought he could handle it, now felt his heart in his throat!
Your Majesty is doubting yourself!
If he doesn't find a way out for himself as soon as possible, will he die without a burial place?
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao lowered his head and lay on the ground tremblingly, saying in an aggrieved tone: "Your Majesty, there is nothing I can do about this."
"Although these people were found by the slave for the Second Young Master, they only obey the orders of the Second Young Master. After this incident, the slave is also panicking."
"If I knew that those people would actually help the Second Young Master do such a thing, even if I had the courage, I would not dare to send them to the Second Young Master!"
These words were spoken sincerely, but there was no expression on Ying Zheng's face.
Feeling the killing intent on his body, Zhao Gao was sweating profusely, but he did not dare to defend himself any more.
He lowered his head and heard rustling on the table. Then Ying Zheng took out a case file and asked the eunuch beside him to hand it to Yan Le in the middle of the hall.
Ying Zheng asked in a cold voice: "Look, what else is there to say?!"
Yan Le, who was kneeling on the ground, took the case file with both hands without knowing why. He opened it and read only a few words. He immediately understood it and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why the investigation results on this matter are different!"
"This is really the result of my investigation. Someone must have deliberately disrupted the direction of my investigation. Your Majesty is aware of this!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao knew that when His Majesty asked him to select someone to investigate, it was another test for him, and he failed at all.
In this case, he could only abandon his car to save his handsome.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I still have something to say!"
Ying Zheng didn't even give him a look, he just nodded lightly, lightly parted his lips and said, "Tell me."
Hearing this, Zhao Gao crawled to the ground and knelt down in front of Ying Zheng, the expression on his face was full of regret.
Looking at each other with Yan Le, Zhao Gao immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is due to my confusion."
"I have indeed heard about the Second Young Master, but by the time I knew it, the Second Young Master had already taken action."
"It's just that this second young master is of His Majesty's blood after all. I have the courage to help the second young master handle the matter and try to prevent this matter from being traced to him."
"My slave, I swear! It's just this one thing!"
This statement is true and false, and some of it matches the evidence in Ying Zheng's hands.
There is no evidence for some things, and no one knows whether what Zhao Gao said is true or false.
But obviously, Ying Zheng's expression began to loosen, and it was no longer so chilling.
"Then do you know how Hu Hai got in touch with those people?"
Having followed Ying Zheng for many years, Zhao Gao claimed to be the person who knew Ying Zheng best, so when he heard Ying Zheng's words, he knew that he had listened to what he said.
He thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I am the second young master who took the initiative to contact the merchants at that time because of this matter."
"A few days ago, the matter of refined salt caused a stir in the court. It is inevitable that someone will spread this matter."
"But not many people know about the refined salt recipe. It's not unusual for them to target the Second Young Master. After all, the Second Young Master has a pure heart and it is inevitable for him to be deceived."
"Otherwise, why would the Second Young Master let someone go to Tingwei's mansion to assassinate him? Isn't that just throwing himself into a trap?"
Ying Zheng looked at him with a vague look in his eyes. He tapped the table lightly, hitting Zhao Gao's heart with every blow.
Just when he thought he had not deceived Ying Zheng, he heard Ying Zheng say: "In that case, I have wronged you in this matter."
"Then what do you think we should do with Hu Hai?"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao felt even more relieved.
His Majesty started discussing things with him again, which showed that he had passed the test just now.
Now His Majesty is asking this question just to give Hu Hai a way out, and not to let the ministers of the DPRK say anything about it.
He pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, now the second young master has been sent to Xianyang Prison, and everyone in the court is watching this matter. If this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid it will bring trouble to the second young master."
"My servant believes that we will not do anything about this matter for the time being. It will not be too late to make a decision after the refined salt matter is settled."
"In addition, as the teacher of the second young master, I did not discover his problem in time. I am willing to share the same crime with the second young master and go to Xianyang Prison to take care of the second young master. I hope your majesty will do it."
Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao, then at Yan Le in the middle of the hall, and was silent for a moment.
"That's right!"
"You go to Xianyang Prison and stay there for a few days, and then make plans after this matter is over."
This reaction was something Zhao Gao did not expect, and he was a little surprised for a moment.
How could His Majesty agree?
Do you still doubt yourself?
But he didn't dare to ask, so he could only lower his head and reply in a deep voice: "Here."
…
After coming out of Xianyang Palace, Yan Le personally sent Zhao Gao to Xianyang Prison.
Zhao Gao sat in the carriage and couldn't help but think about what happened today.
During this period of time, everything His Majesty did was beyond his expectations. He originally wanted His Majesty to give up the idea of making Fusu the crown prince, but in the end, Hu Hai was involved.
Now that even he had to enter Xianyang Prison, it was a good thing. He wanted to see for himself what was so special about Ran Fang.
Yan Le sat respectfully next to Zhao Gao, not daring to say anything to disturb Zhao Gao's thinking.
When he arrived at the gate of Xianyang Prison, he said: "Master Yue Zhang, I have arranged everything in Xianyang Prison, and I will never let Master Yue suffer any grievances."
"I wonder if my father-in-law has any other instructions?"
Zhao Gao was very satisfied with Yan Le. If he hadn't been involved in this matter, he might not have passed Ying Zheng's test so easily this time.
He said bluntly: "The current situation in the DPRK is very unfavorable to us. Something like this happened to the Second Young Master, and I am temporarily imprisoned in Xianyang Prison. You have to worry about many things."
Yan Le was a little flattered. This was the first time that Zhao Gao was so polite to him.
He quickly expressed his loyalty and said: "Don't worry, my father-in-law, I will report to you in time if anything happens."
"Now there is one thing. This junior thinks that since the father-in-law is going to Xianyang Prison, it is better to take this opportunity to get along well with Na Ran Fang. If he can be used by the father-in-law, it will be a good thing."
"When the time comes, with Ran Fang and my father-in-law behind to advise Hu Hai, then this matter will change from a bad thing to a good thing."
Zhao Gao shook his head. His Majesty was supervising Ran Fang's every word and deed. If he really changed sides, your Majesty would be the first to know.
When the time comes, His Majesty will be the first to take action on him, and he still has this understanding.
He shook his head, approached Yan Le and said, "Ran Fang, I have my own sense of propriety, and I will definitely make him and Fusu separate."
"Now that I have broken into Xianyang Prison, there are some things that I haven't had time to arrange. There is something more important for you to do."
Yan Le immediately straightened his back and saluted, and said respectfully: "My father-in-law, please give me your instructions."
