After receiving the order, Meng Yi immediately took his troops and began to search Zhao Gao in Xianyang City.
He was worried that Zhao Gao had received the news and was trying to find a way to leave Xianyang City. It would not be that simple to catch him back then.
Moreover, he didn't catch Zhang Zifang last time. If he lets Zhao Gao run away now, it will be a disgrace to His Majesty's trust!
So, after thinking about it, he took a few people to Li Si's Prime Minister's Mansion first.
He knew that Zhao Gao and Li Si had a close relationship. If anyone in the court was willing to help Zhao Gao escape, it would be Li Si.
When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Si met Meng Yi directly.
Li Si, who had just returned from Xianyang Prison, was still a little flustered, thinking about how to restore his image in front of His Majesty.
Meng Yi came to the door, so he came in person. After all, Meng Yi brought the garrison to the door, it must be His Majesty's order.
He received Meng Yi with a smile and asked in a somewhat polite tone: "Meng Zhonglang came to the house, do you have anything to do with me?"
Now that the matter was urgent, Meng Yi didn't hold back and went straight to the topic.
"I would like to ask Prime Minister, has Zhao Gao come to the house today?"
Perhaps Li Si didn't expect that Meng Yi came to the house for this matter, so he had a surprised look on his face.
Then he returned to normal and shook his head calmly, "Never."
After finishing speaking, he continued: "I heard that Zhao Gao has been recovering from his injuries since being punished by His Majesty that day, so I haven't seen him in the past few days."
"What happened?"
Meng Yi knew that Li Si would definitely ask about it, and he had no intention of hiding it.
"Zhao Gao left the palace privately and disappeared without a trace."
"Your Majesty wants to see Zhao Gao now, so he will send his subordinates to search in Xianyang City."
"If the Prime Minister sees Zhao Gao, please send someone to inform the official, who will then personally take him to see His Majesty."
After saying this, Li Si understood that His Majesty had listened to Ran Fang's words, and this time he was afraid that Zhao Gao would be caught and dealt with personally.
It seems that Zhao Gao will not live long.
"That's natural."
"Thank you very much, Prime Minister. I will leave on my own."
With that said, Meng Yi bowed his hands and left the Prime Minister's Mansion in large strides.
After he left, Li Si immediately ordered the guards in the house to go out together to look for Zhao Gao.
"If you find him, take him back to your house first."
"Don't let him fall into Meng Yi's hands first!"
Meng Yi didn't know this. After he came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he planned to lead people to search the city.
At this moment, Shu Gao ran towards him, his eyes very eager.
"My lord, my lord, there is news."
Meng Yi stopped and turned around to look at Shugao eagerly.
"Where is Zhao Gao?"
"It's not Zhao Gao."
Hearing this, Meng Yi suddenly lost his temper and looked at Shu Gao angrily.
"Then who are you talking about?!"
Shugao's expression was still a little anxious and excited, and he immediately said: "Another assassin."
"When has it been?! Are you still worrying about assassins?"
The eagerness in Meng Yi's eyes could no longer be concealed. He ignored Shu Gao and strode away from here.
"We won't talk about the assassin until we find Zhao Gao!"
"You immediately take people to search the west of the city. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you will still find Zhao Gao!"
Seeing that Meng Yi might have misunderstood, Shu Gao quickly took out the note he had just received and showed it to Meng Yi.
"My lord, this is from the bodyguard of the right prime minister."
Seeing the paper in his hand, Meng Yi stopped and looked at the note in shock.
You must know that since this paper was made, only officials in the court and hundreds of book repairers can use the paper, and the quantity is limited, not everyone can use as much as they want.
It is a luxury to use paper to convey news, but since it came from Feng Quji's house, this news needs to be re-evaluated.
"Where is the messenger?"
"Run away. After giving the letter to his subordinates, the man ran away."
Shugao still blamed himself when he spoke. If he knew that he was the one who spread the news, he would definitely stop the person.
Meng Yi ignored him and just looked at the note in his hand, feeling a little confused.
"Why did Feng Quji spread the news now?"
"You still say that the assassin is one of his. Isn't this just throwing yourself into a trap?"
"Everyone does this kind of thing in secret. How could anyone take it upon themselves so directly?"
Shugao also nodded, which was also where he was confused.
"This matter is indeed a bit strange, so when my subordinates got the news, they came to see you."
"Did someone threaten Prime Minister Right?"
"But who can threaten him in this court?"
After that, the air became quiet.
After a moment, they both spoke at the same time: "Zhao Gao!"
Meng Yi continued: "Zhao Gao and Feng Quji must have some secrets."
"He must have received some news and came to find Feng Quji. The two of them didn't know what agreement they made that allowed Feng Quji to tell all this kind of thing."
"Go to Prime Minister You's Mansion immediately!"
After saying that, Meng Yi led the garrison straight to Feng Quji's house.
When I arrived at the door of Prime Minister You's Mansion, I saw that none of the guards at the door were there today, and the door was still closed.
This looked very abnormal. Meng Yi waved his hand, and Shu Gao immediately led a team of people to surround the entire house, especially the back door, which he personally guarded.
After arranging everything, Meng Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"anyone there?!"
"Who is it?" An old voice sounded from inside the door, without any intention of opening the door.
"Meng Yi! I came to see Prime Minister You on His Majesty's orders. I hope you can inform me."
There was no movement in the door, perhaps because he didn't expect Meng Yi to come. Then he heard the man say: "Please wait a moment, sir, and I will go and report."
"good."
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the door, and someone opened the door from inside.
"The Prime Minister is meeting guests in the study. Please wait for a moment, Commander-in-Chief."
After hearing what he said, Meng Yi walked straight in with his troops and headed straight for Feng Quji's study, ignoring the obstruction from the people behind him.
When he arrived at the door of the study, he saw that the door was half open. At a glance, he could see Feng Quji sitting alone in the study, seemingly sipping tea leisurely.
Meng Yi did not go in, but saluted at the door and said: "See you, Prime Minister."
"The guards at the residence just now said that there is a guest at the Prime Minister's residence. Why can't they see where the guest is?"
The expression on Feng Quji's face was a little stiff, and then he explained with a smile: "Haha, I have already left."
"I wonder what the reason for Meng Zhonglang's visit today is?"
Meng Yi did not answer his words, his eyes fell on the half-closed door, and he could vaguely see what seemed to be a figure.
He sneered and kicked the door with a bang, causing a big hole in the door.
After a loud noise, Zhao Gao could be seen lying on the ground clutching his chest with a look of pain on his face.
"Zhao Gao?"
