Zhao Gao's face was pale as he stood there. He didn't expect that his people didn't stop Meng Yi. He couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "Trash!"
But this was not the time to curse. He moved forward and whispered to Ying Zheng: "Lian Liang has just entered the palace at this time. Did you receive any news?"
"Master Meng is the most incorruptible and has more trust in the officials personally appointed by His Majesty. How can this incorruptible person be with Master Meng?"
With these words, Ying Zheng swallowed back his words about letting them in.
Ying Zheng has been in a high position for many years. What he is most worried about and hates the most is that someone is playing tricks in front of him, and there are people who have spies in the palace, who are looking for death!
Moreover, Lian Liangcai asked Meng Yi to intercede for him, which was simply making fun of the officials!
Thinking about it, Ying Zheng turned his head and glanced at Zhao Gao, always feeling that something strange happened today.
Especially since the evidence of corrupt officials was suddenly brought over, and Lian Liangcai received the news so quickly?
Lian Liang was the candidate proposed by Li Si at the beginning. He had this idea after listening to Ran Fang's words. Could it be that Lian Liang could count so much?
The look in his eyes made Zhao Gao feel guilty, as if his thoughts had been seen through.
"Your Majesty...how should we deal with it?"
After hearing his words, the expression on Ying Zheng's face returned to normal, without any trace of the anger he had just seen the evidence of corruption.
He glanced indifferently in the direction outside the palace and said softly: "Xuan."
The eunuch standing in the middle of the hall heard Ying Zheng's voice and immediately turned around and left the Qilin Hall. He stood at the door of the hall and said loudly: "Xuan Mengyi and Lian Liangcai have come to see you——"
Meng Yi and Lian Liangcai, who had been waiting at the door for so long, looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that His Majesty had listened to Zhao Gao's words and was not going to see them.
They took long strides and walked straight into the Qilin Hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw an eye-catching large box in the middle of the hall, as well as Yan Tong kneeling on the ground.
They all knew that Yan Tong belonged to Zhao Gao, but now they saw Yan Tong kneeling there, which was a bit surprising.
After just glancing at him, the two of them knelt down in the middle of the hall and saluted Ying Zheng respectfully.
"See Your Majesty."
This was the first time Lian Liangcai saw Ying Zheng, and he felt a deep admiration in his heart. He could feel the pressure from His Majesty when he lowered his head.
I was a little excited and wanted to raise my head to see His Majesty's holy face, but I didn't hear His Majesty's order, so I could only lower my head and dare not make any move.
Meng Yi knelt in front and waited for a few seconds but His Majesty didn't ask them to stand up. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what happened?
Could it be that His Majesty was really resting just now, and didn't Zhao Gao deliberately let people stop him?
At this moment, several people in the hall have their own thoughts, and no one can guess what the others are thinking.
After a while, Ying Zheng spoke first, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
"Meng Yi, what's the matter?"
Without letting them get up, he directly passed Lian Liangcai over, which made Lian Liangcai very uneasy.
He glanced at Meng Yi and saw that Meng Yi was also a little confused, but he still took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the assassin's matter has been revealed."
"There is also an official from Xianyang who ordered to go to the minister's house. He said that he had seen the ovary outside Xianyang City, but now the lieutenant army is in Xianyang City to track down the matter of the ballista."
"I enter the palace and request your Majesty to send troops to track down Zhang Zifang outside the city."
He spoke sincerely, fearing that he might accidentally make His Majesty unhappy.
Zhao Gao was a little surprised. Didn't Meng Yi and Lian Liang enter the palace to trace him?
He set his sights on Lian Liangcai and wanted to know why he entered the palace.
However, Ying Zheng had no intention of satisfying his doubts. Instead, he nodded slightly and did not say whether he agreed with Meng Yi's proposal.
He looked directly at Lian Liangcai and asked in a very stern tone: "Lian Liangcai, what's the matter with you?!"
This tone was obviously not asking, but interrogating.
Lian Liangcai didn't dare to delay. He raised his head, glanced at Zhao Gao, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask Zhao Gao for help, and I came here to ask for your permission."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on him.
But he didn't seem to find anything, and continued: "As for the assassin who assassinated Ran Fang in Xianyang Prison, many people in those two portraits said that they were in Yan Le's house."
"Now that Yan Le has committed suicide and Mrs. Yan Le has left Xianyang City, I feel that Zhao Gao should know about this matter, so I specifically asked Zhao Gao to help investigate the matter."
After saying that, Lian Liangcai felt a look staring closely at him.
There was deep hatred in those eyes, which obviously did not belong to His Majesty, so they must belong to Zhao Gao.
But he didn't care. Since he wanted to investigate Zhao Gao, he would naturally expect Zhao Gao's revenge.
However, Zhao Gao thought that this Lian Liangcai was really brave, and he dared to "slander" him in front of him.
He was really mumbling to himself!
However, since someone mentioned him, he had to answer the question.
He immediately knelt down beside Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to help Lord Lian find the assassin."
"But I have to say something for myself. I have never been involved in the affairs of Yan Yue Mansion. I don't know why Master Lian said that I know about it?"
"Or are you saying that Lord Lian is using this reputation to avenge his personal vengeance?"
No one dares to play tricks in front of Ying Zheng, let alone speak so openly, but now Zhao Gao thinks that he has just investigated a corruption case, and His Majesty must trust him.
Therefore, it is inevitable to speak without restraint.
The most important thing is that he knows that this matter must be brought out, otherwise His Majesty will be suspicious of Lian Liangcai's words, and his future affairs will be difficult to deal with.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, the expression on Ying Zheng's face changed obviously.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"I haven't."
Lian Liangcai answered neither humble nor arrogantly, which surprised Meng Yi. That was not what Lian Liangcai said when he was at his house just now.
He said that as long as he took him into the palace, he would have a way to prove that Zhao Gao was involved in this matter. Why did he change his theory now?
Ying Zheng, who had already suspected him of corruption, frowned when he heard his answer, and looked at Lian Liangcai with anger in his eyes.
"No evidence!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Lian Liangcai, do you know your guilt?"
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Gao lowered his head and raised the corner of his mouth in a big arc. This Lian Liangcai was really looking for death.
At this time, he is actually adding fuel to His Majesty's fire. Who else should we arrest if we don't arrest him?
He understands Ying Zheng best and knows that he values evidence the most. Now that his evidence is clearly presented, and Lian Liangcai only has one mouth, he has obviously won this game.
"His Majesty……"
Just as Zhao Gao was about to add fuel to the fire, he heard Lian Liangcai say: "Your Majesty, I don't know."
