royal palace.
Zhao Gao was leisurely recuperating in his room when he received news from Yan Tong that the Tingwei Mansion had begun investigating a corruption case.
Moreover, all the corruption evidence about Lian Liangcai has been overturned, and His Majesty began to doubt him.
As for the assassin, His Majesty actually suspected that he was responsible.
Although His Majesty is still in the suspicion stage, as long as Tingwei Mansion investigates everything clearly, His Majesty will definitely be furious.
Especially in this corruption case, he offended Li Si and others. No one in the court would speak for him, and they even wanted to kill him!
By then, even if Hu Hai comes back, he will not be able to escape punishment!
Now, you have to find a way for yourself.
"Where is Your Majesty now?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has just left the palace. I don't know where he went."
After taking a look at Yan Tong, His Majesty did not take Yan Tong with him when he left the palace. He must have doubted himself.
He stood up in excitement, looked at Yan Tong and said, "Okay!"
"You can keep an eye on me in the palace. I'll go out of the palace and let me know if you have any questions."
With that said, he left the palace wearing casual clothes.
After leaving the palace, Zhao Gao came to Feng Quji's house as quickly as possible and found where Feng Quji was without waiting for his servants to inform him.
Behind him were servants trying to stop him.
"Step aside!"
When Feng Quji saw Zhao Gao being so aggressive, he was stunned for a moment and then said angrily: "Zhao Gao!"
"You broke into my Prime Minister's Mansion without permission! It's too disrespectful of me!"
At this moment, Zhao Gao paid no attention to Feng Quji's anger. He was filled with anger when he thought that he had framed the assassin on himself.
"Master Prime Minister, I just want to hear your explanation. What happened to the assassin?"
After hearing this, Feng Quji's attitude instantly lost its toughness, and he waved his hands towards the servants.
"Everyone, stand down."
After they all left, the expression on his face did not relax at all, but was as ugly as ever.
Looking at Zhao Gao, he said with some displeasure: "Then I would like to hear Mr. Zhao explain why my people are also involved in the corruption case."
"When I was investigating the corruption case, I handed over all the evidence to you. Those are all your people. Now that you have put the evidence on my head, what are your intentions? Mr. Zhao doesn't have to worry about it." Pretending to be confused!”
Both of them have leverage in each other's hands, and Zhao Gao's attitude is no longer so firm.
He smiled slowly and sat on the couch nearby.
"Why do you need to be angry, Prime Minister Right? If I don't arrest those people, some people will inevitably suspect that you are related to me?"
"I am here to relieve the Prime Minister's worries."
"The Prime Minister must also know that the corruption case is now being re-investigated by the Tingwei Mansion. With the Prime Minister's strength, wouldn't it be easy to let those people off the hook?"
"But my matter may not be so easy to solve."
"So, if the Prime Minister cannot satisfy me regarding the assassination, then I will speak out in front of His Majesty. Prime Minister, please don't blame me."
As he spoke, Zhao Gao's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness, indicating that we would die together.
Seeing this, Feng Quji also knew that if Zhao Gao was not comforted in this matter, he might also be implicated.
After thinking for a while, a smile appeared on his face, "What did Mr. Zhao say?"
"How about this, you stay at my house tonight, and I will send someone to find a solution. Things will naturally come to an end tomorrow."
Zhao Gao's face darkened, he stared into Feng Quji's eyes and said, "Prime Minister, don't you think I'm stupid?!"
"If this matter is found out, what chance do I have of surviving?!"
"Because we are allies, I came to you to give you a reminder. If you behave like this, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Feng Quji raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth when he saw that Zhao Gao was not getting enough food and salt and was still thinking about "perishing together" with him.
"Master Zhao insists on this, then let's see if there is a chance to go to His Majesty and read my copy."
"Since Mr. Zhao is here today, he will stay at the house overnight!"
The meaning of these words is to lock Zhao Gao in this house.
When the matter comes to an end, Feng Quji will still be praised by His Majesty for handing Zhao Gao over, but who cares whether Zhao Gao lives or dies?
In addition, he said that Zhao Gao escaped and was caught by him, so His Majesty would not take it to heart that he colluded with officials. As for the assassins at that time, it was Zhao Gao alone, and no one would have thought of him. on the body.
It has to be said that when Feng Quji cooperated with Zhao Gao, he had already thought of making Zhao Gao his scapegoat.
Zhao Gao stared at Feng Quji. From Feng Quji's words just now, he had already guessed his outcome.
However, he is not the one who can be easily captured.
His face darkened and he stood up suddenly.
Just when Feng Quji thought he had compromised, he suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve. Before Feng Quji could react, the dagger was already pressed against his neck.
"Zhao Gao, what do you want to do?!"
Zhao Gao looked at Feng Quji's panicked face and pushed the dagger forward slightly, so that he could feel the slightest trace of nervousness but did not scratch his neck.
"Prime Minister, you'd better be quiet, otherwise my sword will be unstable."
Seeing that Feng Quji stopped struggling, he said, "What should I do?"
"Of course I am looking for a way for myself. I hope that the Prime Minister will cooperate well."
At the critical moment of life and death, Feng Quji no longer cared about the majesty of the prime minister, for fear that Zhao Gao might accidentally cut himself.
He said quickly: "Say, you say, just say what you want."
"Master Zhao, calm down, we can discuss it carefully."
Seeing him like this, Zhao Gao was satisfied.
"Go and send someone to find Feng Xiao."
"Ask him to bring the files from the past few days, and tell him that you want to read them, and ask him to bring them all over."
Feng Quji immediately understood what he meant, but didn't quite agree with his statement.
"I'm afraid this can't be done."
"Then Feng Xiao is Li Si's man. How could he listen to my orders?"
"What's more, now that Feng Xiao and Meng Yi are investigating the case together, it's probably impossible to change the file."
"Your Majesty asked Meng Yi and Feng Xiao to investigate together because he was worried that someone would interfere with it. If Meng Yi is a close confidant of His Majesty, he wants to change the file unless Meng Yi agrees."
The movements in Zhao Gao's hands were a little slack, and it was obvious that he was also thinking about the possibilities in Feng Quji's words.
He has not been with His Majesty in the past few days. There are some things that he really doesn't know. If it really can't be changed, then he will have to leave Xianyang City first.
He guessed that Hu Hai should be on his way back. As long as Hu Hai is in hand, he can return to Xianyang City and resume his previous life!
Feng Quji, who had been nervous all the time, could feel that Zhao Gao was a little absent-minded at the moment, so he immediately shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Quji dared to call someone. Zhao Gao's expression suddenly changed, which caught him off guard.
"boom!"
The door was opened by the servants, who were shocked when they saw this scene. At the same time, guards rushed in, and they all drew their swords and looked at Zhao Gao in readiness.
"Let the Prime Minister go now!"
