Zhao Gao thought that Li Shui would take revenge, but he didn't expect that the revenge would come so quickly or be so straightforward.
In the battle above the court, shouldn't we strategize, insinuate, and kill people invisible? How can anyone come up and frame someone for rebellion? And the frame-up is so clumsy, doesn’t it mean there are no rules?
Ying Zheng also didn't believe it. He looked at Li Shui and said, "Did you really catch the assassin?"
Li Shui said: "I really caught Zhao Gao's accomplice."
Zhao Teng thought to himself: "Huai Guzi is very focused in what he says."
Ying Zheng said a little tiredly: "I am a little tired today."
Li Shui said: "If your majesty is too lazy to go to Shangjun's palace, I can bring the assassin into the palace."
The courtiers were a little speechless. Everyone could see that the emperor didn't quite believe what Li Shui said, so he was too lazy to follow him around. So why does this person still have to push the envelope?
Li Shui saw that Ying Zheng was silent, obviously thinking of a reason to refuse, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, thinking: "What happened to the emperor of Qin? He caught the assassin, but he didn't care?"
If Ying Zheng knew what Li Shui was thinking, he would probably sigh and say, "You talk about rebellion all day long. I'm used to it."
Fortunately, Li Xin said from the side: "Your Majesty, if you don't go there, how can you clear Lord Zhao Gao's innocence?"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said, "That's all, let's go and have a look."
Zhao Gao couldn't laugh or cry, he felt complicated, and he didn't know whether he should be grateful or not.
Li Shui was in high spirits and immediately sent flying horses to Shang Jun's courtyard to prepare.
An hour later, Ying Zheng led thousands of troops to the Shangjun Courtyard in a mighty manner.
All the people from Shangjun's courtyard came out to welcome the emperor and respectfully invited the emperor in.
After Ying Zheng entered, the craftsman posted a large piece of paper outside. The price list was written on the paper with a brush.
The courtiers' faces turned green and they all looked at Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, are you bringing us to see the rebels, or are you here to make money?"
Li Shui said: "I didn't force you to go in. But it would be bad if this rebel confessed randomly and recruited you adults."
After a little threat, Li Shui and Li Xin slipped into Shang Jun's courtyard.
The craftsmen blocked the gate and shouted at the top of their lungs: "My lords, decide your own levels and pay voluntarily."
Courtiers, you look at me and I look at you. I feel that I really must go in today. Who knows who the so-called rebels will bite? If he bites you and you are not there, you will inevitably be in trouble.
Although he would not die unjustly, it would be bad if the emperor had a grudge in his heart.
So the courtiers donated generously.
Wu Yue and others entered at a 10% discount according to the standard of banishing immortal friends.
Chunyu Yue and others entered at a 99% discount according to the standards of banished immortal friends.
Others, with a frown on their faces, bought full-price tickets. As for those who buy monthly or annual passes, there are none.
While collecting the money, the craftsman advised the courtiers: "My lords, I advise you to buy monthly tickets. My Lord Banished Immortal has great magical powers, and you will definitely have to frequent Shang Jun's Villa in the future..."
The courtiers all had itchy palms. If they didn't think they were gentlemen, they would have slapped the craftsman long ago.
After everyone arrived, Li Shui led the way and led everyone into a small courtyard.
The courtyard is very quiet and clean. Li Shui led everyone to the main room and opened two doors.
Inside there was a clean and neatly dressed man, kneeling on a mat and reading a book.
When the man saw Li Shui and others coming, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "The sinner Hei Tan has met you all."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui strangely: "Is this person the rebel you mentioned?"
Li Shui replied: "Exactly."
Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly. The man in front of me is fair-skinned, full of energy, and polite. How does he look like a prisoner? And there were no scars on his body at all, and it seemed that he had not been tortured.
Such rebels are really unheard of.
Ying Zheng felt that Li Shui was simply lying. Fortunately, the person who lied was Li Shui. If it had been anyone else, Ying Zheng would have punished him long ago.
Zhao Gao also smiled and said: "Master Huai, how much did you spend to hire this person?"
Before Li Shui spoke, Hei Tan said sincerely: "I was not hired by the Banished Immortal. I was captured after failing to assassinate the Banished Immortal."
Zhao Gao asked calmly: "You didn't see any scars on your body, why did you confess?"
Heitan said: "Master Banished Immortal is very elegant and handsome. When I met him next time, I deeply admired him and confessed voluntarily. He told me everything I knew and told him everything I wanted to say."
Zhao Gao couldn't help but grin. This man told lies with open eyes, and he said it with all his heart. How could he do it?
Zhao Gao added: "You must know that if you call yourself an assassin, that is a capital crime."
Heitan was fearless: "In the next moment of confusion, I actually tried to assassinate the banished immortal, which is a capital crime. Even if the banished immortal is magnanimous and spares my life, I have no shame in living in this world. And I am still alive today just to correct one person, To prevent this person from hurting others in the dark and framing the immortal."
Zhao Gao sneered and asked, "Who do you want to correct?"
Heitan said: "Zhongche Mansion Order, Zhao Gao."
In fact, everyone had already guessed this answer, so it was not surprising. However, after Zhao Gao heard it, his heart moved.
He asked: "Do you know who among us is Zhao Gao?"
Through the exchange just now, Zhao Gao felt that the assassin did not know him, so he deliberately asked questions. As long as the assassin answered incorrectly, all false accusations would be self-defeating.
However, Heitan bowed his hand to Zhao Gao and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, why do you pretend that you don't know me?"
Zhao Gao shouted angrily: "Huaiguzi must have drawn my portrait and let you remember it in advance."
Li Shui said nothing, thinking: "Is it still necessary to draw a portrait? Is it difficult to distinguish between eunuchs and normal people?"
Ying Zheng stopped the irritable Zhao Gao and looked at Li Shui: "Why did this person repent? How did you do it?"
Li Shui said respectfully: "I ordered people to tell him repeatedly about His Majesty's kindness. After a long time, he recognized it, so he believed it deeply and regretted it."
Ying Zheng was a little happy when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Can my kindness still influence the assassin?"
In Ying Zheng's opinion, this kind of thing is a bit absurd. But since it was written by a banished immortal, everything is different.
Ying Zheng looked at Heitan and asked, "Why did you want to assassinate Huaiguzi? Tell me?"
Heitan's words are all memorized by heart, and xnao has been practicing for so long that he has no doubts about these words.
He immediately said: "When I was a child, my family was poor. I was begging on the street and was picked up by a group of Mohists. When I grew up, I became a QMO."
"Later, the Mohists from Qi and Chu cooperated with Xiang Liang, so we were ordered by the leader of the Mohists to come to Xianyang to look for opportunities to assassinate His Majesty."
"It's just that His Majesty lives deep in the palace and it is difficult for us to get close to him, so the assassination has not been successful for a long time. During this period, Zhao Gao has been assisting us. We rely on him for food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"Later we heard that Huaiguzi from Shang Jun's Courtyard was a banished immortal in this world. With this person here, the country of Qin is as solid as gold. So we discussed it. It was too difficult to assassinate His Majesty. I'm afraid it would be easier to assassinate a banished immortal. So we decided He assassinated the banished immortal several times."
"During this process, Zhao Gao also helped us find out the whereabouts of the banished immortal and produced it for us, which helped us a lot."
Zhao Gao almost fainted from anger: "Spewing at others, this is spitting at others. Why should I help you assassinate Huaiguzi?"
Heitan said: "Because Mr. Zhao is dissatisfied with the banishment of the immortal, there are always open and secret fights in the court. Why not send someone to assassinate him?"
Li Shui and Li Xin nodded vigorously beside them, looking like they suddenly understood.
The courtiers were a little helpless, thinking: "This is obviously what you taught him to say, why are you still pretending to do it now?"
Speaking of this, Heitan suddenly paused, and then said mysteriously: "Once, I sent more than 300 people to raid Shangjun's courtyard. That time, His Majesty was also here. Lord Zhao Gao said, this time This is a God-given opportunity, not only to kill Huaiguzi, but also to kill the emperor."
"However, His Majesty's soldiers were too brave. Three hundred highly skilled Mohists were unable to do anything, and in the end they failed. From then on, we stopped thinking about assassinating Your Majesty and concentrated on assassinating the banished immortal."
"I didn't expect that the Banished Immortal had long wanted to catch us all. He set up a trap and only used fifty people to kill us all. I am the only one left in the QMO lineage."
After Heitan finished speaking, he bowed respectfully and said: "I have finished speaking. This life is of no use anymore. Your Majesty wants to kill me, so kill me now. I will never resist."
Zhao Gao sighed: "I admire you, Master Huai can actually find such a dead soldier to frame me."
Heitan said calmly: "The right and wrong are all matters of public opinion. When I was arrested that day, many people saw it. Whether I am an assassin or a dead soldier, you will know when you ask."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and asked, "Who was responsible for capturing the assassin that day?"
Li Shui said, "I don't recognize him. He is a soldier brought by Li Xin."
Li Xin understood and immediately sent someone to call for someone.
A quarter of an hour later, fifty soldiers arrived.
Ying Zheng made some inquiries, and all fifty people unanimously identified Hei Tan as the ink master of that day.
Heitan even opened his mouth and said vaguely: "Everyone, please see, after I was captured that day, the Exalted Immortal had already knocked out my teeth to prevent me from committing suicide."
Zhao Gao suddenly panicked. Why did this matter become more and more true the more he said it?
He said loudly: "Heitan, you said that I want to rebel, why should I rebel? Yes, there is some unpleasantness between me and Huaiguzi, but there is no need to send someone to assassinate him. Let alone assassinate Your Majesty."
Heitan said quietly: "Then who knows? Maybe after you were tortured, you always held a grudge and couldn't bear it."
When Zhao Gao heard him talking about his torture, he suddenly became angry and rushed to hit Hei Tan, but was stopped by someone.
Zhao Gao suddenly cried, knelt on the ground, hugged Ying Zheng's legs, and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, I have been loyal throughout my life, but I was framed by a traitor. This Huaiguzi got a person of unknown origin and started You are lying and falsely accusing your servant."
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "Do you still have evidence?"
Li Shui said: "Zhao Gao acted cautiously, and I have no evidence. Besides, I did not frame Master Zhao. All of this was caused by Heitan and has nothing to do with me."
Heitan also said firmly: "Yes, it has nothing to do with banishing immortals."
Wang Wan, who had been silent until now, suddenly suggested: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are still a few mushrooms in the palace..."
When Zhao Gao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly: "Yes, mushrooms, use mushrooms. If Heitan eats mushrooms, still saying this, the slave is willing to die."
