"How's it going? Did he take out the antidote?"
Seeing Yang Duanhe coming back in a hurry, Zhao Hao asked hurriedly.
"this"
Yang Duanhe was speechless and said with embarrassment: "I beat him for a long time and didn't say anything. He even dipped his blood in his blood and wrote the word 'Go away' for me!"
Zhao Hao: "."
Yang Duanhe: "."
Zhao Hao: "Bring him in, don't say anything else!"
"good."
Yang Duanhe responded, quickly turned around and left. Soon, he dragged Zhao Cheng, who was covered in blood, to Ying Zheng's bed.
When Zhao Hao saw his miserable state, he was immediately frightened and said to himself that Yang Duanhe's hands were so dark that he was so cruel to his own people.
However, Yang Duanhe's ability to deal a heavy blow to Zhao Cheng shows that his relationship with Zhao Cheng is not as deep as he thought.
This is easier to handle.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Cheng indifferently and whispered: "Zhao Cheng, do you know me?"
"Get to know each other"
Zhao Cheng's face had swollen into a pig's head, and he could only look at Zhao Hao with squinted eyes.
Zhao Hao was amused by his funny look and couldn't help but said: "Since you know me, you should also know my methods. Therefore, I don't intend to continue to beat around the bush with you. Just tell me honestly." , where are those assassins?"
"What assassin?"
"What, you still don't want to say it? Come here! Drag him down, give him medicine, and throw him into the horse pen for breeding!"
"Ah? This, this, this"
Zhao Cheng was so frightened that he panicked: "I said, I said, in the Yue village outside the city!"
"Zhao Cheng! How dare you actually murder His Majesty!"
Yang Duanhe was furious and was about to step forward and beat Zhao Cheng again.
At this moment, Guan Ying stopped him and shouted: "General Yang is so bold that he dares to commit murder in front of His Majesty?!"
"What are you...ah, it hurts, it hurts, let it go! Let it go!"
Yang Duan and Guan Ying squeezed hard, grinning in pain and howling repeatedly.
"Okay, let go of General Yang."
Ying Zheng, who was lying on the couch, waved his hand weakly, and Guan Ying immediately let Yang Duanhe go.
But I heard Ying Zheng continue: "Zhao Cheng, I know you are Zhao Gao's younger brother. Can you tell me whether Zhao Gao gave you the idea to assassinate me!"
"this"
Zhao Cheng looked hesitant.
Zhao Hao snorted coldly: "I advise you to think carefully before answering, otherwise."
"Yes, yes, it was Zhao Gao who gave it to me. He knew that betraying His Majesty would lead to death, so he wanted to keep His Majesty in the South China Sea forever!"
Zhao Cheng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and told Ying Zhenghe what Zhao Gao had told him.
Including those assassins lurking on the road back to Xianyang, all were accounted for.
After listening to Zhao Cheng's explanation, Ying Zheng's eyes were rare and calm, and he just asked lightly: "So, Li Si and Zhao Gao really conspired?"
"I am not very clear about the specific situation. I only know that Zhao Gao has never appeared in public since he returned to Xianyang. He only met Li Si a few times."
"hehe."
Ying Zheng laughed at himself and coughed twice: "I never thought that someone who has served me for decades would betray me. I have never doubted his loyalty. It's a pity."
After saying this and waving his hand, Zhao Hao understood and took a piece of fine silk from the side and handed it to Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng took it and took a look. His eyes suddenly widened and his breathing became rapid.
"Your Majesty, this."
"This is my imperial edict to let you go. As long as you don't collude with Zhao Gao, you can protect me and return to Xianyang smoothly!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will definitely not collude with Zhao Gao, and I will protect you to the death when you return to Xianyang!"
When Zhao Cheng heard Ying Zheng's words, he immediately bowed down and bowed down, his attitude was so sincere.
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly coughed violently.
Zhao Hao quickly brought over a spittoon. Ying Zheng opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"His Majesty!"
Zhao Cheng was shocked at first when he saw this, and then he felt happy.
Although the person who assassinated Ying Zheng was not one of his, he did not expect that Ying Zheng's injuries would be so serious.
I originally thought that Ying Zheng had experienced so many assassinations, so the protection around him should be extremely tight, and ordinary assassination methods would not be able to harm him at all.
After every thrill, within two days at most, he would appear in full force in front of everyone.
I really didn’t expect that the boat would capsize in the gutter tonight.
In my own room, I suffered such a heavy blow.
However, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Zhao Cheng asked himself, if he were in Zhao Gao's mansion, he wouldn't worry about someone killing him, because there were so many open and secret sentries in Zhao Gao's mansion that he didn't have to worry about it at all.
After all, his brother, who was nominally the official of Ying Zheng's CRRC, was actually Wuchang's contact person in Xianyang, and there were many Wuchang masters around him.
Especially the few impermanent masters who came with him didn't listen to his orders at all.
I don’t know if they were the ones who assassinated Ying Zheng.
Thinking of this, Zhao Cheng suddenly noticed a cold gaze staring at him. He couldn't help but trembled, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I really just came to check on your safety tonight. The assassin who stabbed you is really not mine. people!"
"I know I'm not yours, but I don't know who it is."
Ying Zheng said calmly, then lay back on the couch without saying a word.
At this moment, Zhao Hao's voice suddenly came to mind: "Zhao Cheng, after Zhao Gao returned to Xianyang, what else did Zhao Gao do besides meeting Li Si?"
"this"
Zhao Cheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Besides Li Si, I don't seem to have seen anyone else. Even if I did, I can't know everything. However, Young Master Hu Hai is relatively close to him!"
As he spoke, he did not forget to add: "Of course, it is not surprising that he is the teacher of Young Master Hu Hai!"
"hehe."
Hearing Zhao Cheng's words, Zhao Hao smiled noncommittally and continued, "Do you have anything else to explain?"
"I don't know much about Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao came to the South China Sea this time with short notice. Including the assassination of His Majesty, it has nothing to do with me. I just brought them to the South China Sea, and they didn't listen to me. The command!"
"Oh? So you really don't have an antidote?"
"Really not!"
Zhao Cheng nodded helplessly, and then asked tentatively: "Is there really no way to cure this poison?"
"snort!"
Before Zhao Hao could answer Zhao Cheng, Xia Wuji, Tang Sui, Guan Ying, and Chen Ping all snorted coldly.
He quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just think that your majesty, such a wise and powerful emperor, should not end up like this!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "It doesn't matter, if it weren't for my wisdom and martial arts, I'm afraid you wouldn't have ended up like this;
Zhao Gao committed a serious crime of rebellion, and according to law, he belongs to the Yi tribe;
It is only because I have become like this that I decided to return to Xianyang at the minimum cost to clear up the government! "
Hearing this, Zhao Cheng nodded in agreement, but he felt something was wrong in his heart.
When did the First Emperor, who had always been decisive in killing, become so soft-hearted?
Just when Zhao Cheng was puzzled, Ying Zheng waved his hand weakly: "Okay, I'm a little tired. You all can go back. Come back to Xianyang with me tomorrow!"
"promise!"
Zhao Cheng promised and turned to look at Yang Duanhe.
Yang Duan and Li ignored him, then turned to look at Ying Zheng, but when they saw that Ying Zheng ignored them, they couldn't help but look embarrassed, and finally left the room wisely.
Watching the two of them leave, Zhao Hao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing an expression that was half a smile but not a smile. He looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Father, your acting skills are becoming more and more realistic!"
"Pooh!"
Ying Zheng spat on the ground with blood-colored saliva, and said angrily: "What did you give me to suck on? Why is it so smelly and fishy?"
"This is it"
Zhao Hao scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Hehe. It's the blood bag made by Erchen himself. It may have been stored for a long time and the taste has changed a bit. But don't worry, Father, it's just black dog blood."
"Black dog blood?"
Ying Zheng's expression changed instantly and he couldn't help but vomited it out with a "wow" sound. Fortunately, Tang Sui had quick eyes and quick hands and handed him the spittoon.
"You stinky boy, let's see how I deal with you."
Ying Zheng, whose face was red from vomiting and his eyes were bulging with anger, was about to get up from the couch and beat Zhao Hao.
Fortunately, Guan Ying on the side stopped him quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
When Zhao Hao saw this, he shrank his neck and quickly reminded Ying Zheng: "Father, the top priority is to eliminate those assassins and act according to the original plan, not to vent your anger on your ministers!"
Tang Sui also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, we have done so much, isn't it just to act according to the master's plan? Don't let all your efforts go to waste!"
"snort!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, thinking that what they said was reasonable, so he suppressed the urge to teach the 'rebellious son' a lesson, then turned to look at Chen Ping, and said with a stern face: "Chen Ping, take Guan Ying to find those assassins. Anyone related to the assassin will be killed without mercy!"
"promise!"
Chen Ping agreed and took Guan Ying out of the room without saying a word.
At this time, Zhao Hao reminded again: "Father, Yang Duan and his side also need to send someone to keep an eye on them."
"Um."
Ying Zheng nodded and turned his gaze to Tang Sui. The latter understood and immediately left.
When only Ying Zheng, Zhao Hao, and Xia Wuche were left in the room, Ying Zheng raised his head and laughed.
"Hahaha! Interesting! Interesting! So interesting!"
Zhao Hao: "."
Xia Wuji: "."
"Don't look at me like that. This is the first time I've used such a deceptive trick!" Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head: "But it's quite interesting."
"Then the father will also cooperate with his son in the next arrangements?" Zhao Hao asked, licking his face.
Ying Zheng glanced at him, frowned and said, "As long as you don't make me vomit black dog blood, I will cooperate with you!"
"Hehe, how can it not be possible? How could I let my father vomit black dog blood? This matter has already turned upside down. I just asked my father to pretend to be dead once and deceive Yang Duanhe!"
"Didn't Yang Duanhe collude with Zhao Gao and the others? Why did he lie to him?"
"It is precisely because he has not colluded with Zhao Gao and the others that he needs to be lied to, because his words are enough to convince the public!" Zhao Hao explained with a smile.
"Well, you have a point."
Ying Zheng nodded in approval, and then asked curiously: "How do you know Zhao Cheng will be here tonight? Or is there someone of yours with Zhao Cheng?"
"Go back to my father, I deliberately didn't let them see you during the day, just to make them urgently need your information. In addition, Zhao Cheng doesn't have much brains. He actually sent his own people to explore the surrounding areas of the shogunate. Erchen is the first Time has guessed that he will take action!"
"Oh? So, the person who just called for the assassin was arranged by you in advance?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Hao nodded with a smile: "Whether Zhao Cheng comes tonight or not, I will blame the assassin on him, and he also needs me to blame the assassin on him."
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said somewhat unclearly: "You said he needs you to blame the assassin on him? What do you mean?"
"In fact, it can be seen from the situation just now that Yang Duanhe and Zhao Cheng are not the same people. However, because Zhao Cheng is the deputy envoy and Yang Duanhe is the chief envoy, the two are inevitably bound together. If Zhao Cheng If Cheng is found guilty of assassinating the First Emperor, Yang Duanhe will definitely be involved."
"but."
As he spoke, he changed the topic and continued: "If I framed Zhao Cheng for this matter, and Yang Duanhe knew that I framed Zhao Cheng, then Yang Duanhe would definitely stand with Zhao Cheng. Together, we create a situation where one is both prosperous and one is devastated!"
"Next, no matter what Zhao Cheng arranges, Yang Duanhe will listen to his opinions!"
"Once we arrest Zhao Cheng, the charge of assassinating the First Emperor on the way will most likely fall on Yang Duanhe. Because Zhao Cheng has been arrested by us, Yang Duanhe, who worked for him, has no way of getting away with it!"
"this"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and his face darkened: "This bitch can actually come up with such a vicious plan!"
"Zhao Cheng definitely can't think of such a plan. In my opinion, it is probably the plan of your minister of state affairs!"
Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
He naturally knew that Zhao Hao was talking about Li Si, but he really couldn't understand that Li Si would betray him.
Li Si went from being a warehouse clerk in Chu State to being a disciple of Lu Buwei. It was because I gave him the opportunity that he became what he is today. Moreover, I established the Great Qin Empire together with him. Why did he do this?
Do you have a grudge against me just because I didn't make him the Prime Minister of Qin?
If this is the case, he is not worthy of my position as Prime Minister of Great Qin!
"Your Majesty, don't think too much about this matter. No matter whose plan it is, we will make it fail. Now if you act according to the young master's plan, all evil spirits and monsters will be suppressed by you!"
Seeing Ying Zheng's expression changing again and again, Xia Wuji, who was silent at the side, smiled and comforted him.
As the old doctor who rescued Ying Zheng many times, Xia Wuji's words carry great weight.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, then looked at Zhao Hao with a smile and said, "Since they all believe in you, kid, then just follow your plan!"
"promise!"
Zhao Hao smiled and agreed, and immediately exited the room.
