The injured Zhao Gao was sent back to his room by the eunuch. He lay on the bed, breathing heavily, and the veins on his forehead popped out. It was obvious that he was in pain.
After taking the medicine, he finally took a breath.
Looking at the two eunuchs standing there, he asked: "Where is your Majesty?"
"Do you have any orders?"
The eunuch looked confused, and they didn't know how to answer?
According to His Majesty's favor for Zhao Gao, in this case, Your Majesty will definitely send someone to see Zhao Gao, and even send someone to take special care of him.
However, today, His Majesty not only did not give any instructions, but also did not allow the imperial doctor to come to treat him, and there was no reason.
This was simply unreasonable, and they had many speculations in their minds.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Zhao Gao also knew what they meant, and his whole person instantly became gloomy.
"Where are the ministers?!"
Hearing this, the young eunuch from before immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Everyone has left the palace."
"I heard that the Prime Minister wanted to see His Majesty, but was turned away."
The expression on Zhao Gao's face became happy again. It seemed that His Majesty was worried that someone would ask for mercy, so he just didn't see anyone.
When he was in the court just now, none of those people dared to talk about corruption, so he was relieved.
"Let Yan Tong keep an eye on Tingwei's mansion. There can't be any mistakes in this matter."
"Also, send a message to Hu Hai and ask him to find a way to return to Xianyang, otherwise I will always feel uneasy."
"If there is really a problem, only Hu Hai can intercede for me."
"Here." After the little eunuch said this, he saw Zhao Gao lying on the bed and wanted to sleep, so he quietly left the room.
When no one was paying attention, he secretly left here and walked towards the outside of the palace.
…
Li Si came out of the palace and sat on the carriage to return home. Halfway there, he thought of something and said to the carriage driver: "Go to Xianyang Prison."
"Here."
The carriage immediately turned around, but halfway there, it was blocked by a carriage.
Li Si lifted the curtain and took a look, recognizing it as Wang Wan's carriage. His heart moved, and he immediately understood what Wang Wan meant.
He lowered the curtain again and said to the coachman: "Invite people here and ask what this means."
"Here."
After a while, Wang Wan got on the carriage.
Sitting on the edge of the carriage, Wang Wan adjusted her skirt slightly before turning her eyes to Li Si.
"I wonder where you went, Prime Minister?"
A meaningful smile appeared on Li Si's face. He sat there upright and looked at Wang Wan.
After a few seconds, he said softly: "What?"
"Why is Wang Yushi so concerned about where I am going?"
Wang Wan was just asking a test question, but now that Li Si exposed it, there was no embarrassment on his face and he still maintained his calm look.
"Haha, the Prime Minister is joking."
"I was rude, and I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me."
After saying that, he made a hand gesture and politely apologized to Li Si.
"It doesn't matter." Li Si didn't take it to heart. Everyone was testing each other, and no one would really take this sentence to heart.
"I wonder why Wang Yushi is here?"
"Isn't this the way back to the Censor's Mansion?"
Wang Wan lifted the curtain and took a look outside, then lowered the curtain with a smile and looked at Li Si with a deep look.
"I'm afraid I have the same idea as the Prime Minister, but I just don't know where the Prime Minister is going?"
As soon as these words came out, the two people looked at each other with conflict in their eyes.
After looking at each other like this for a few seconds, Li Si suddenly smiled. He raised his finger and pointed at Wang Wan, the smile on his face seemed unstoppable.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wang is really joking."
"In that case, then you and I should stop playing riddles."
"I heard that Mr. Wang entered the palace last night. I wonder if you found anything?"
This was a direct test. Li Si seemed to be telling Wang Wan that nothing about the ministers of the court could be hidden from his eyes.
Although Wang Wan entered the palace last night, it was secret, but as long as he wanted to know, there was nothing he couldn't know.
I thought Wang Wan would say it, but I didn't expect that Wang Wan's face still had the same expression, and he said calmly: "What the Prime Minister said when he saw your Majesty, that's what I said."
"I wonder, the Prime Minister just met His Majesty, did he say anything?"
This time it was Li Si's turn to be shocked. He didn't expect that His Majesty would not see the minister last night.
Just now at the gate of Zhangtai Palace, he thought that His Majesty was a little angry because of Zhao Gao's incident, so he was unwilling to listen to what others said.
It seems that His Majesty has a grudge against the corruption case and will not allow anyone to intercede.
Since Wang Wan hasn't seen His Majesty yet, what's the point of stopping him here now?
He didn't believe it at all that he met by chance. After all, he went to Xianyang Prison on a whim.
"I see, then I understand."
"I wonder what Mr. Wang thinks about this matter?"
The meaning of this sentence is to ask Wang Wan, what do you think of Zhao Gao's arrest of corrupt officials?
There was no surprise on Wang Wan's face. He had the same intention in stopping Li Si. This corruption case involved many people, and among them there were indeed people who had never been involved in corruption in Surabaya County.
This time, Zhao Gao's indiscriminate attack hit many officials in the DPRK, and even his own people were involved.
"After all, this matter is of great importance. I believe that the Prime Minister has his own plan in mind."
"However, with so many people involved, there will inevitably be oversights. I just don't know where the oversights are?"
"If this matter can be found out, it will relieve His Majesty's worries."
This shows that Wang Wan believed that among the people imprisoned, there should be innocent officials.
Li Si knew that this idea should be the idea of most people in the court, but no one dared to talk to His Majesty.
Otherwise, if there is no problem after the investigation, the person who spoke will be implicated, and no one wants to have the official position they finally obtained so hard to be ruined in one day.
But high-ranking officials like Wang Wan and myself disdain corruption, and who can be willing to accept the people they have trained so hard to be guillotined like this?
The most important thing is that Zhao Gao still played a trick, and no one can accept it.
"Wang Yushi's words are reasonable, but they coincide with me."
"I wonder where Wang Censor thinks this oversight should be investigated?"
This sentence means that if Wang Wan has evidence to prove it, Li Si is willing to cooperate with him.
Wang Wan had no intention of getting involved in this matter. He knew that the people in Tingwei's Mansion were Li Si's people, and Li Si would eventually have to investigate this matter.
He came here this time just to test Li Si's tone.
Now that Li Si asked, he didn't mind telling him what he knew.
"I heard that a lot of gold was found in a person's house, but that person just moved, and he doesn't know who the gold belongs to?"
"People from Tingwei's Mansion are already investigating. I wonder if the Prime Minister has heard about it?"
"I believe that with the investigation of Tingwei Mansion, this matter will be resolved soon."
Li Si's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal, so quickly that it was hard to see.
But he doubted in his heart, why did Wang Wan know about the affairs of Tingwei Mansion?
Wang Wan's hands were also stretched out long, so it seemed that she had underestimated him.
I just don’t know that he came to tell me on purpose, why?
"Thank you Wang Yushi for informing me, but I have never interfered in the affairs of Tingwei Mansion."
"Now that we have clues about this matter, I am relieved."
"I won't send Wang Yushi away anymore."
Wang Wan smiled and cupped her hands, then stood up and left the carriage.
After Wang Wan's carriage had gone away, Li Si ordered his men: "Chat Tingwei's Mansion!"
"There is also Lian Liangcai's housekeeper, take him to Tingwei Mansion!"
"Let Feng Xiao investigate carefully. There must be results within three days!"
