In the dungeon of Ganquan Mountain.
The dark cell was filled with damp and rich smell of blood.
People can't help but have a trace of hallucination, whether this is still a human realm.
Under the dim light, Ying Ziyang, who was in the cell, could clearly see the prisoners in the cells around him.
When he was in the main hall of Ganquan Palace, Zhao Hao only dealt with Ying Chengyu.
He originally thought that Zhao Hao had let him go, but when he saw that the prisoners in the cells around him were from Bai's trading company, he realized it.
He was fooled.
This is a trap, a serial conspiracy within another trap.
And the spearhead of these traps is only aimed at one person, and that is Zhao Gao.
It was because of Zhao Gao that he and Ying Chengyu came together, and it was also because of Zhao Gao that he and Ying Chengyu formed an alliance.
Therefore, Ying Chengyu did not confess Zhao Gao's crime, so he became the next witness.
But this alone is not enough to demonstrate Zhao Hao's strategy. Zhao Hao should have other uses for keeping him.
In the distance, the dungeon door was opened, and a young man in white walked in from the door. Behind him were two burly men.
Ying Ziyang recognized the young man's identity at a glance. He was Chen Ping, the director of the Security Bureau.
As for the two burly men, although he didn't know their identities, they looked a bit like military generals.
And just when Ying Ziyang was thinking about the purpose of Chen Ping and his group coming to the dungeon, Qu Fu, who had been waiting in the dungeon, came forward and said, "Director Chen, everyone is here."
Chen Ping scanned the cells one by one and nodded with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that Bai's Trading Company would spend so much money and there would be so many people. Okay, let's get started!"
With that said, Chen Ping found a place to sit down on his own.
Qu Fu understood this and immediately took out a Bai clan member of about 20 years old from the cell, and then locked him to a wooden stake with an iron chain.
"Honestly, you should answer whatever Shangguan asks you. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better tell the truth."
As he spoke, Qu Fu pointed at the torture instrument next to the wooden stake.
On those rusty torture instruments, there were dark red bloodstains on them. I don’t know how many prisoners’ blood was stained.
The young man had never seen such a scene before, and his face turned pale with fright.
"Tell me, what is your name and where are you from?"
Chen Ping, who was sitting aside, asked calmly.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the cell next to him.
The people locked up in those cells were also members of Bai's Trading Company, and they all looked at the young man with worried eyes.
In this dazed moment, the whip in Qu Fu's hand suddenly struck the young man's hand.
"ah--!"
The young man screamed and came to his senses in an instant. The skin and flesh on his body were ripped open by the whip, and blood flowed freely.
"Shangguan is asking nonsense. Why are you so confused? Tell me!"
Qu Fu shouted angrily.
"I I said I said"
The young man who came back to his senses, grinned and nodded repeatedly, no longer daring to look around, and said honestly: "My name is Bai Yu, I am the young master of Bai's Trading Company, Bai Li is my father, don't fight, I will say anything. "
Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and asked again: "How much do you know about Bai's Trading Company?"
"I don't know what Shangguan wants to ask about. We are law-abiding businessmen and we are doing legal business. Ah——"
Before Bai Yu finished speaking, Qu Fu whipped him again and shouted: "You are clearly colluding with foreign races and selling state secrets, and you still want to make excuses?"
Bai Yu, who was in so much pain from being whipped, was stunned when he heard Qu Fu's words.
Although he knew that his father had committed something that had affected his clan members, he had no idea what exactly Bai Li had committed.
He really ran the business at home honestly and did not collude with foreigners or sell any state secrets.
"Shangguan, we don't have us. We really don't have us."
Snapped!
Bai Yu wanted to defend himself and his tribe, but he was greeted by another wave of whipping.
"You still dare to quibble! Everyone gets the stolen goods! Don't you know how many firearms were found in the warehouse when you were arrested? And you still say you are not selling state secrets?"
Qu Fu reminded Bai Yu fiercely.
Bai Yu was whipped several times in a row and was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat. He didn't dare to speak randomly and could only look at Chen Ping with fear on his face.
But I heard Chen Ping say with a calm expression: "Think about it carefully, think about it before you speak, so as not to suffer physical pain, do you hear me clearly?"
"I, I, I."
He called me several times in a row, and Bai Yu was so stunned that he couldn't speak clearly.
He said that confiscating the family and exterminating the clan was a death sentence.
Not to mention being tortured is also death.
Death early or late is death, it is better to die happily.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu's eyes narrowed and he gritted his teeth and said: "Whatever you want from me, just tell me. As long as you can give me pleasure, I will cooperate with you!"
"Ah!"
Chen Ping snorted, with a cold smile on his lips, and then nodded towards Qu Fu.
Qu Fu once again understood and brought Ying Ziyang out.
At this time, Ying Ziyang had a ball of cloth stuffed in his mouth and couldn't speak even if he wanted to.
He could only stare at Chen Ping fiercely, but Chen Ping ignored him at all and said to himself: "Since you are so aware of current affairs, I am too lazy to talk nonsense to you. Do you know him?"
Bai Yu looked at Ying Ziyang carefully, nodded and said, "I know you! Mr. Jingyang!"
"Oh? How did we meet?"
"He once came to our trading house as a guest, and it was my father who received him!"
Chen Ping smiled slightly and said, "Then what did your father say to him, and what did he get from your father?"
"this"
Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, then stared at the speechless Ying Ziyang, and sneered: "He came to work for Ying Chengyu and received three thousand pieces of gold from my father."
"Uuuuuu——"
When Ying Ziyang heard this, his eyes widened and he wished he could eat Bai Yu alive.
The two strong men beside Chen Ping instantly held him down, making him unable to move at all.
But Chen Ping said again: "Then what did he do for Ying Chengyu?"
"The specific matters were discussed in secret between my father and him."
"Um?"
"Oh oh oh, I know, I know!"
Seeing the whip in Qu Fu's hand coming out again, Bai Yu quickly changed his words: "He asked my father to secretly do business with foreigners and sell firearms to them."
"Haha, children can be taught!"
Chen Ping smiled and waved, then looked at Ying Ziyang with interest: "I heard that Lord Jingyang has a close relationship with Zhao Fuling. Is Zhao Fuling also involved in this matter?"
"Uuuuuu——"
Ying Ziyang's eyes widened and he reacted instantly.
But Chen Ping ignored him and turned to Qu Fu: "That Zhao Chi, I also want to find a way to make him admit to selling state secrets."
"promise!"
Qu Fu agreed, then patted his chest and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Shangguan, this is the way my subordinates are most proficient in."
"Well, I'm done."
Chen Ping smiled and nodded, then left the dungeon with two strong men.
"Director Chen, is it really useful to surrender like this?"
After leaving the dungeon, Guan Ying asked Chen Ping with a puzzled look.
Chen Ping shook his head gently and said: "In this case, everyone gets the stolen goods. Even if they don't give in and fight, they won't survive. The reason why they surrender and fight is for Ying Ziyang to see;
It's like there is a deep thorn in the flesh that cannot be pulled out even if I want to. I worry all day long whether the thorn will follow the blood vessels, flow into my heart, and kill me. "
After saying that, he turned to look at the underground palace gate again and said quietly:
"Physical torture is far beyond the mental torture, especially the unknown fate. This is also the king's brilliance."
"The king does things really differently."
Ji Bu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sighed with emotion.
Chen Ping smiled and took them away without saying anything more.
at the same time.
Zhao Gao, who had just returned to his residence from Hu Hai's palace, immediately learned what happened at Qing's Trading Company and couldn't help but feel angry.
"Damn it! Damn it! This Ying Chengyu is really damned! He actually plotted against Zhao Hao without telling me! No wonder he asked me to collect the Qing's Trading Company's property! It turned out to be to plot against Zhao Hao!"
"You didn't get any advantage from Ying Zheng, so you still want to get it from Ying Zheng's son? I don't even care what kind of person you are! Without me, who are you?!"
"And that idiot Ying Ziyang actually chose to conspire with Ying Chengyu to eat everything inside and outside the house! I was really blind to find you!"
Zhao Gao roared hysterically, venting all his depression today.
The confidant who reported to him was so frightened that he did not dare to take a breath.
I don't know how long it took before Zhao Gao calmed down his emotions and said in a deep voice, "Whose people were kidnapped by Zhao Chi?"
"It is said to be the Black Ice Platform."
"Black Ice Platform?"
Zhao Gao frowned, vaguely feeling that this matter was not that simple.
Hei Bingtai is in charge of Dun Rui. Logically speaking, Dun Rui has no reason to interfere in the trivial affairs of a trading company, unless...
Thinking of a certain possibility, Zhao Gao suddenly felt that he needed to see Li Si.
Although Li Si had a slight suspicion against him because of Hu Hai's incident, at this time, he could not fall out with Li Si, otherwise, he would face Zhao Hao alone.
Only when he is sandwiched between Li Si and Hu Hai can he make plans and shine.
"Come here! Prepare the car! I'm going to meet the Prime Minister!"
Zhao Gao shouted loudly.
Soon, a carriage took advantage of the darkness and headed straight to Li Si's bedroom.
the other side.
Zhao Haozheng returned to Donghu Palace drunkenly.
Today he was awarded the title of King. The four brothers, Prince Liang, were very excited and kept drinking with him.
He, who was not a good drinker, became drunk immediately.
Fortunately, the young master Gaomingren prepared a sobering soup for him, which cheered him up and returned to Donghu Palace.
In fact, he didn't need to go back to Donghu Palace, but when he thought about Ying Zheng cheating on him, he couldn't help but feel resentful.
It is said that a real man will not take revenge overnight. Zhao Hao felt that he was that real man.
Therefore, he will come back tonight no matter what. No matter how Gongzi Gao and the others try to persuade him, he will seek revenge against Ying Zheng.
Well, yes, it’s revenge.
"Sir, you are finally back, Your Majesty is still waiting for you!"
Laifu saw Zhao Hao staggering into the palace gate and quickly stepped forward to help him.
Zhao Hao said with a drunken mouth: "Then let him wait! Let's see if he gets used to it."
"Now that I am the King of Qin, who is that? Your Majesty, please listen?"
"The Great King"
"Hehehe"
Zhao Hao giggled for a while, and then while dragging his robe, he looked around and said in a daze: "Where are the others? Didn't they say they were waiting for me? Where are they?"
"Day by day, I just like to mess around when I have nothing to do. I have clearly planned it, so I have to do this. It's not worry-free at all."
"Hey, my life is really miserable, having such a father-in-law."
As he said that, Zhao Hao suddenly felt a little thirsty. He turned to Laifu and said, "Go, bring me a pot of water. I want it to be iced."
Laifu responded. As soon as he got the water, he saw Ying Zheng walking towards him. He couldn't help but trembled. Then he wisely retreated to the wall, and at the same time gave Zhao Hao a look that said, "A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist." , quickly lowered his head, pretending he didn't see anything.
Zhao Hao collapsed on the ground and continued to curse; "I don't like trouble the most, but you always like to make trouble for me. A person as smart and capable as me should do big things! Make a lot of money!
Is it something a man would do to calculate this and that all day long? ! "
"If this king were not your son, he would have escaped from the Qin Dynasty long ago and gone overseas freely!"
"It's a pity that I became your son. In order to save my life, I dug a tunnel desperately. I finally dug it through, and you stared at me all day long! It's really annoying!"
"Hey, if you have a father, how can you have a son?"
After saying this, a tear fell from the corner of Zhao Hao's eyes. As if he was deeply wronged, he lay down directly and made a 'tai' shape.
Laifu looked at Ying Zheng standing not far above Zhao Hao's head, his eyelids twitching wildly.
His face turned pale with shock at his young master's words of 'a filial son'.
It's over, it's over, my son has just been crowned king and it's about to end.
Ying Zheng squinted his eyes as if he was recalling what Zhao Hao just said.
He had become accustomed to Nizi's bold remarks. After all, he was used to hearing them, and that was all.
I didn’t expect that he would be so bold now!
He actually said such crazy words as "If you have a father, how can you have a son?"
If this spreads out, the Ying Qin royal family may be completely disgraced.
Will the country that I have worked so hard to build be handed over to such a traitor in the future?
Somehow, Ying Zheng suddenly felt sad.
I originally thought I had chosen a qualified heir, but I didn't expect...
However, Ying Zheng still smiled slightly, reached for the water bottle in Lai Fu's hand, and handed it to Zhao Hao.
"You are so angry. I'm afraid you won't be able to be kind tonight, right?"
"of course?"
Zhao Hao sat up angrily, took the water bottle from Ying Zheng's hand, and took a sip.
Then, he opened his eyes wide and allowed the water in the kettle to flow down the corner of his mouth and wet his chest. He stiffly turned his head and tried to put on a smile.
"Father, why are you here? I want to see you."
After saying this, Zhao Haozhi felt that his throat was slightly dry. Ice water was obviously flowing from his mouth, but he felt dry.
"hehe."
