What happens in Xianyang City cannot be hidden from the eyes of the forces in the city.
Especially in Xianyang Prison, as long as there is a slight disturbance, these people will take action.
Zhao Gao knew immediately that Gu Zongmin took Yangjie to Xianyang Prison today.
Although Zhao Gao didn't know this Yang Jie, he immediately became nervous when he heard that he was a man who built a catapult.
The corruption case he is currently investigating is still in the delaying stage. If the person who assassinated Ran Fang is revealed now, will there be room for him to turn around?
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao became a little nervous.
Taking advantage of the silence of the night, Zhao Gao secretly came out of the palace and went to Feng Quji's house.
Now that he was a regular customer, someone immediately brought him to Feng Quji.
When he saw Feng Quji, he no longer cared about etiquette and said anxiously: "Yang Jie has been discovered by Ran Fang, what should we do?"
"Is something going to happen? Why are you so careless?!"
Feng Quji's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he waved to the attendant behind Zhao Gao, indicating that he could leave.
Then he turned his gaze to Zhao Gao, staring at him closely, the anger in his eyes obvious.
Shocked by his eyes, Zhao Gao realized that he had been disrespectful to Feng Quji just now, and his words were so rude.
He immediately lowered his head and saluted Feng Quji: "See you, Prime Minister."
"My servant was in a hurry just now, and I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me."
Feng Quji's expression looked much better now. He waved his hand casually, "No problem."
"What's the reason for your sudden visit?"
Zhao Gao cursed in his heart, even though he had just said it, he still had to ask again.
No wonder it's hard for him to achieve great things.
Although he looked down on Feng Quji in his heart, and even thought that he would get back the humiliation he suffered today when he became more powerful, he still had a respectful attitude on his face.
"Prime Minister, I heard that Yang Jie went to see Ran Fang today, and he wanted to draw a picture about the man with the crossbow chariot. What should we do?"
"Zhang Han and Meng Yi are also involved in this matter. If they find any clues, then Your Majesty will know about it, and this matter will be big!"
"When the time comes, Prime Minister, how are you going to explain it to His Majesty?"
In just one sentence, Zhao Gao took it off himself and looked like I was doing good for you.
Feng Quji raised the corner of his mouth and sneered. At this time, Zhao Gao wanted to blame everything on himself, which was too good.
But he didn't plan to argue with Zhao Gao about this, and instead of answering his question, he asked another question.
"I heard that His Majesty asked you to investigate a corruption case. How did the investigation go?"
"You must have checked all the officials in Xianyang City, right? Are there any clues?"
"I don't know, what did you find out here, old man?"
Zhao Gao's expression suddenly changed. He did not expect that Feng Quji would directly point the finger at this matter.
Since His Majesty ordered him to investigate corruption, Zhao Gao used the power in his hands to investigate all officials in the court, large and small, hoping to select someone who could ward off disaster for him.
Not only Feng Quji, but also who was under Li Si's command, he now knew clearly.
Regardless of whether there is corruption or not, as long as you have this evidence in your hands, this will be the means to save your life in the future.
This matter was done very secretly, but Feng Quji didn't expect it to be known. So... did Li Si also know about it?
Now Zhao Gao was a little panicked and began to worry about his future.
However, in front of Feng Quji, he still acted very calmly and asked, "What are you kidding me, Prime Minister Right?"
"The slave is only investigating those corrupt officials, how could it involve the right prime minister?"
"Your Majesty knows the character of Prime Minister You best. Even if I borrow a hundred courages from my slaves, I would not dare to do this in private!"
"Which official in this court is not for the development of the Qin Dynasty? Your Majesty also knows it very well. Isn't it just a pretense to let the servants come to investigate?"
"When the matter in Surabaya County comes to an end, this corruption case will be settled."
Feng Quji looked at Zhao Gao and knew that he was a habitual liar. He could lie in front of him and act like nothing happened. It really made people want to praise him.
Fortunately, I have been paying attention to Zhao Gao, otherwise I would never have discovered that he dared to investigate him privately. Even if this kind of thing was brought to His Majesty, it would just be that he is not afraid of power.
However, he knew what he had done. As long as Zhao Gao could find out those things, it was not a big deal, but he felt a little unhappy.
"I see, I'm just too worried."
"Have you verified the corruption list I gave you a few days ago?"
Feng Quji had found out last time that the corruption was actually the work of Zhao Gao. He felt that he had been cheated and gave him the list of Zhao Gao's personnel.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty suddenly handed over the matter to Zhao Gao for investigation.
Then Feng Quji wanted to see what officials there were with so many corrupt officials. How should Zhao Gao deal with them?
But Zhao Gao just smiled, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Right, for reminding me."
"However, I investigated those matters again. Those officials were slandered. After careful investigation, I found that those corruption matters had nothing to do with them."
"Right now, I am investigating other people. When there is any progress, I will come to tell you Prime Minister."
Hearing what he said, Feng Quji knew that Zhao Gao had already thought of a way to deal with it, and no matter how big the fire, this matter would not burn him.
This time, he had a new understanding of Zhao Gao.
Since such a cunning person can win His Majesty's heart so deeply, he cannot be offended easily.
"In that case, I can rest assured."
"I've already received the news about Yang Jie I just mentioned, so it won't be a problem."
"The person who met Yangjie is no longer in Xianyang City. Even if Zhang Han and Meng Yi want to investigate, they can't find me."
"Besides, Yang Jie is a arrogant person. As long as he is questioned by others, he will no longer obey Gu Zongmin's orders. It will be impossible for them to ask anything more from him."
Hearing what he said, Zhao Gao felt relieved.
What he was most worried about was that if Feng Quji was found out, then Feng Quji would definitely tell his name, and then His Majesty would not be suspicious.
"In that case, I would like to thank you, Prime Minister Right."
"After all, the stakes are high at this time, so we have to be careful. Yangsuke can give up when necessary."
"Those people from the Mo family are all revising books now. People who suddenly come out and say that they are from the Mo family may have some ulterior secrets."
Hearing this, Feng Quji's expression froze. He didn't expect Zhao Gao to be so cruel.
He was sure that Yang Jie would never say anything. Even so, Zhao Gao was not willing to let him go.
At this moment, he had the illusion of dancing with wolves, and he was still an ungrateful wolf.
Although Feng Quji had been in the court for many years and was not afraid of villains like Zhao Gao, he would inevitably be framed by traitors, which was impossible to guard against.
Now, he has made new decisions about his cooperation with Zhao Gao.
"I know what's going on."
"It's getting late, so I won't send it off."
Zhao Gao was a little angry when he didn't get a positive answer, feeling in his heart that Feng Quji was the benevolent woman.
But he didn't say anything, but he had another calculation in his mind.
"Here."
"Slave, please retire."
