Gongzi Hai nodded, finally suppressed the strong impulse in his heart, and murmured: "That's right, we have plenty of time to survive them one by one."
"Just remember that this matter has nothing to do with you." Zhao Gao said coldly: "Even if the general comes to trouble me, don't stand up, let alone admit anything."
For this day, Zhao Gao had already made a plan in his heart. As long as Gongzi Hai could hold on, no one could do anything to the two of them.
After all, in the end, everything still has to be told with evidence.
Even if King Qin knew that this matter was closely related to the two of them, he still needed a reason and evidence for conviction.
As long as Gongzi Hai refused to admit it after being beaten to death, in the end we could only find a few guys to take the blame for this matter.
Otherwise, Zhao Gao would not gamble his future.
Gongzi Hai shook his head and replied coldly: "That's ridiculous, who is looking for trouble? See if I don't beat him out and then step on him."
"Don't be too confident if the general takes action."
Zhao Gao said mockingly: "Your Majesty needs to vent his anger. The general must find the person behind the scenes for your Majesty. This is his responsibility."
Young Master Hai calmed down, thought for a while and said: "The emperor is angry, let him be angry, is it possible to chop me down?"
Zhao Gao looked at him quietly and said seriously: "From this moment on, the young master will not go out and stay at home. As long as you are at home, even if the general hears some news, he will not dare to rush in and get it." you."
Young Master Hai lowered his head. He knew that this matter would involve many people and many people would be unlucky. He was not too worried. Anyway, he had never been involved in this matter from beginning to end.
In his opinion, as long as Zhao Gao is fine, he will be fine.
Unknowingly, the two of them were on the same side.
Even so, Gongzi Hai still insisted: "I understand. I will stay at my house and sleep these days. I will not go anywhere except where my father tells me."
Zhao Gao smiled faintly and said after a while: "We don't know about this matter, let them investigate slowly...Who can be found and who can be found? Can the dead speak?"
When Gongzi Hai heard this, he suddenly showed a hint of fanaticism and burst into laughter.
Said: "Even my brother, I'm afraid I don't know anything about me, so I'm just hiding in my house and sleeping, to see what they can do to me?"
Zhao Gao felt his lips were dry for a moment and couldn't help but take a sip of wine. He thought to himself that this was a little wolf that could go crazy at any time. It seemed that he would have to think of a way to prevent him from going crazy all the time.
Otherwise, he might bite him again one day, and he would have to clean up the mess for him in the end.
After thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "That's it, I'm going back home first."
Young Master Hai sighed and said: "You go slowly, I will handle it carefully these days and won't let my brother catch me."
"Watch your legs, and you have to watch your mouth."
Zhao Gao stood down and put down the wine glass in his hand and said coldly: "You and I will not change as the world changes. The best we can do is spend more time and slowly continue to play with them..."
Upon hearing this, Gongzi Hai clenched his fists and showed a faint smile on his face, but what he saw in his eyes was the scene many years later.
In his opinion, whoever survives to the end is the real winner.
"He is him, and you are you." Zhao Gao said lightly: "At least for now, don't compare with him."
…
Zhao Gao told Gongzi Hai not to move, and Gongzi Hai was indeed obedient. He stayed in his house very obediently in the following days and did not leave the door.
In this way, as Zhao Gao expected, not to mention General Yi, even Young Master Su would not come to his house to cause trouble.
It seems that the storm in the imperial city this time has nothing to do with Gongzi Hai. Except for one person, many adults in the imperial city did not get their clothes wet by the continuous autumn rain.
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was still hazy and a thin autumn rain fell.
General Meng led a group of forbidden troops and took Zhao Gao, the commander of Zhongche Mansion, into Da Qin's sky prison.
On the same day, several leaders of the Forbidden Army fell to the ground with their heads rolling down in the imperial city. Until the disaster struck, they did not know which Qin law they had violated.
Because the eunuch who came from the palace only read out the King of Qin's decree, but did not explain the reason for beheading.
For a while, the ministers in the court woke up one after another. It turned out that the imperial army had really committed something, otherwise the emperor would not have been so angry that blood would flow like a river.
Compared with the dead imperial guards, Zhao Gao, who was the commander of the CRRC, was obviously much luckier, because he was a close confidant of the king.
At the last moment, King Qin finally did not check his name, but put him away in the prison.
Outside the prison, General Meng stood expressionless outside the iron fence, quietly looking at Zhao Gao who was sitting inside without a trace of fear on his face.
He sighed softly.
In his opinion, why should a CRRC official who was responsible for the management of the king's travels and horses order hundreds of imperial guards to serve him?
He felt sad for his men who were beheaded by King Qin. Who with any brains could let such an insidious villain command them?
He has not traveled thousands of miles to hunt down the special envoy sent by the king.
The cell leader brought a chair to the general so that he could sit down and ask questions.
Meng Yi's face changed again and again, and he asked coldly: "You have caused all these troubles. Are you really not afraid that the king will chop off your head in a rage, or that I will chop you off with a sword?"
Zhao Gao's expression in the prison changed slightly, and he said quietly: "I don't know what the general is talking about. I am either accompanying the king or on duty in the palace. I didn't expect that something would happen to the imperial army in the imperial city."
Meng Yi's eyebrows instantly rose when he heard the words "The Forbidden Army was in trouble", and his chest felt a dull pain for a moment.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the long sword at his waist. If it wasn't for the fact that the king didn't say anything, he really wanted to kill the guy in front of him with one sword.
Seeing Meng Yi's angry look, Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "The general should know that ministers like us always follow rules and know how to behave. How can we dare to act randomly?"
Zhao Gao, who was in prison, fell silent for a moment, but the coldness between his brows became more and more obvious.
Meng Yi said coldly: "Do you know that the leader of the Forbidden Army under me was beheaded by the king? If you tell me who is supporting you, maybe you don't need to die."
Meng Yi had a hundred ways to make Zhao Gao speak in front of him.
But he also knew very well that Zhao Gao was a dog under King Qin's feet. Whether this dog would bite, and whether his master would kill him with a knife, all depended on King Qin's thoughts.
So, even though he was very angry right now, he couldn't do anything.
At most, he could torture Zhao Gao, but he believed that the dog didn't care. If it dared to do such a big thing, it should have been settled that it would encounter a situation like today.
Just as he and Young Master Su expected, the only one in the entire imperial city who dared to do such a thing was that lunatic.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Gao replied: "How dare I order the imperial army of the imperial city as an official of the CRRC? General Meng, you are overthinking. I am just a minister in front of the emperor, but I don't have the courage."
Meng Yi's face became more and more gloomy, he looked at Zhao Gao and said: "Do you really don't understand or are you pretending not to understand? If you think that someone behind you can protect you, you are wrong, you have to face It’s the king’s wrath.”
Zhao Gao calmly replied: "Stop talking, General Meng. If the emperor wants my head, I will willingly give it to you with both hands. As a minister, I have long thought that such a day would happen."
Compared with Meng Yi in front of him, Zhao Gao was much more scheming.
I am afraid that he is the left prime minister and is no match for Zhao Gao, because he is not only serving the king, but also a young master Hai who is almost a lunatic.
Unlike Meng Yi, who is a general, he only needs to protect the safety of the king and the safety of the imperial city.
Scheming is never a soldier's strong point.
Having said this, Zhao Gao stared at him darkly and said: "General, please come back. I am innocent. I believe the emperor will understand the slave's difficulties."
"Your Majesty will not come to the Heavenly Prison." Meng Yi replied coldly: "So you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."
Zhao Gao said decisively: "I have no choice but to accept my fate."
Meng Yi was silent for a long time, and then slowly replied: "Too many people have died in the Forbidden Army, and someone must take responsibility for this, whether it is you or the people behind you..."
After speaking, he clapped his sleeves, resisted the urge to pick up his sword and kill people, turned around and left the prison.
Looking at Meng Yi's back, Zhao Gaogao suppressed the anger in his heart and muttered to himself: "As long as you have no evidence, you don't dare to kill me. As long as I am still alive, I will be your nightmare."
…
In the house of Young Master Su.
Meng Yi looked at the files on the table with a gloomy look and murmured to himself: "The leaders of the relevant Forbidden Army took poison and committed suicide the night before we went to arrest them, saying they were afraid of crime."
Young Master Su sighed and said quietly: "It seems that they have already made a comprehensive plan. Without evidence, we can't move more people."
Meng Yi's face looked a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we have to give an explanation to the king. After the investigation, we can no longer continue the investigation..."
The two investigated quickly, partly because of the influence of Young Master Su in the hearts of the ministers.
On the other hand, since the general is in charge of the Imperial Army, it is not difficult to investigate the whereabouts of personnel and weapons.
However, neither of them expected that this matter would actually involve Zhao Gao, and this guy was a favorite of King Qin.
After much deliberation, the two finally had no choice but to let King Qin make the final decision.
At this point in the conversation, Meng Yi no longer cared about being reserved, slapped the chair heavily, and shouted: "If I weren't afraid of implicating the young master, I would have killed Zhao Gao's dog with one sword."
Young Master Su smiled bitterly and said: "This is my father's business. Xu Fu is also his minister. I leave the final decision to my father. You and I just need to fulfill our duties."
Speaking of this, Young Master Su's eyebrows showed a hint of a smile that had no clear meaning.
Who can figure out the emperor's thoughts?
He is his father, so what? Aren't you still a worried brother?
"Is it possible that the young master will return to the king like this?"
Meng Yi looked at the garden with all the yellow leaves outside the hall, and said reluctantly: "I must remind you, if you let Zhao Gao go this time, he will definitely bite you back one day..."
Young Master Su sighed, played with the cup in his hand, and said softly: "You can't kill him regardless of your father's feelings because you are afraid that he will bite me, right?"
The two were silent for a long time. Young Master Su thought about his wife who had not returned from the trip, and couldn't help but sigh quietly.
He murmured: "I am not the emperor... General, please go back to your home first. I will go see the left prime minister and ask him what he thinks about this matter."
Meng Yi was stunned and blurted out: "Young Master, you want to tell Mr. Zuo Xiang about this?"
Young Master Su shook his head and replied quietly: "No, my father said that I would not be allowed to tell the third person before he made it public. General, you must also remember this."
Meng Yi looked at him and sighed, and said with a helpless smile: "What do you think the left prime minister will give you?"
Young Master Su also sighed and waved his hand: "No matter what, he will be my father-in-law soon."
When Meng Yi heard this, he immediately stopped speaking.
