Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 26: Death penalty in serious cases (please vote for recommendation!)
In Xianyang, the heavy rain is still pouring.The gaps in the bluestone slabs in front of Xianyang Palace were also implicated by the rain, and the dirt was washed away.

On the nine steps of Wutai where the ashlar stone paving was laid, rainwater was cleverly introduced into the underground trench. There was no accumulation of water, but there was still a layer of water mirrors on the stone steps.

It was Haishi, but the lights in Zhangtai Palace were still burning brightly.

The stone steps are as horizontal as a mirror, reflecting the light of lamps and candles in Zhangtai Palace.

The sound of rain outside the window became louder and louder, and the raindrops suddenly became more urgent and denser. White arrows, long or short, fell hard to the ground, and then splashed into circles of water that no one was watching.

The rain is performing tricks in the dark, but there is no more lightning and thunder.

"How is Xiong Qi's situation in Yingdu?"

Zhao Gao paused. It turned out that the young master mentioned Lord Changping. No wonder the king was so angry just now.

"Back to the king, the person sent to monitor reported not long ago that Mr. Changping still spends his days drinking to relieve his sorrows and stays behind closed doors."

Ying Zheng was lying on the desk in the dim yellow light. His right hand quickly slid on the bamboo slips, and a series of ink characters appeared on the bamboo slips.

"If the king is still worried that Lord Changping will form a clique for personal gain, it would be better for me to send someone to take action in advance."

Zhao Gao's eyes were narrow and narrow, and there was a trace of anger in them, revealing a fierce and sinister look.

Ying Zheng suddenly stopped writing.

"Is there anyone in the court who has contact with Xiong Qi?"

Faced with the sudden question, Zhao Gao naturally had no way to answer.

He just stood respectfully to the side. The light shone on his thin cheeks and protruding cheekbones. The bright yellow light and darkness intertwined, making his profile look strange and sinister.

But Zhao Gao is such a witty person. Lord Changping has long been forgotten by the king, but the king suddenly mentioned this person tonight, and Young Master Fusu just made the king angry again and again...

Zhao Gao's eyes flashed, "Your Majesty, although no one in the court dares to associate with Lord Changping, there is one person in the palace who dares to associate with Lord Changping."

"You mean Fusu?" Ying Zheng shook his head, naturally not believing it.

"Your Majesty, this person is not a young master."

"If it's not Fusu, who else could it be?" A sudden anger surged into his heart.

Lord Changping, a stumbling block on his way forward!
How dare you spread rumors!
Within a moment, Ying Zheng suddenly understood what Zhao Gao was referring to and slapped the pen on the case.

Zhao Gao knew that the king still hated Mrs. Xuanyang, but now that the matter had come to this, there was nothing he could do.

Zhao Gao said word by word, "Mrs. Xuanyang is the princess of Chu after all, and Lord Changping is a relative of Chu State. Speaking of which, Mrs. Xuanyang can also be regarded as Lord Changping's niece."

Ying Zheng frowned sharply, and suddenly stood up, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, as if he was about to rush to find someone.

Zhao Gao said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Even if your Majesty doesn't want to care about Mrs. Xuanyang, you should still consider the eldest son."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he glanced at Zhao Gao in surprise.

Later, Ying Zheng realized what he had done these past few days.But Fusu remains to be seen. The matter of establishing a crown prince has a long way to go!
Soon, Ying Zheng calmed down.

"You think of a name to call Mi Qi back to Xianyang." Ying Zheng had no choice but to make up his mind. With dark eyes, he asked in a low voice, "If he is drunk and gets into trouble, how should he deal with it according to Qin law?"

Zhao Gao understood and replied with a smile, "The charges are different and the sentences are different, but the serious ones can lead to death."

"I will leave this matter to you." After saying that, Ying Zheng looked at the closed palace door and pondered again, "How is your investigation of Fusu's matter?"

"Back to the king, let's talk about it. This matter is all my fault." Zhao Gao suddenly bowed.

Ying Zheng suddenly smiled happily, and then looked at Zhao Gao with suspicion, "The person behind Fusu's back couldn't be you, Zhao Gao. You never speak for Fusu in front of others."

Zhao Gao's body suddenly stiffened and he was trembling slightly.

It turned out that the king had long noticed that there was a gap between him and the young master Fusu.

"I don't dare. The young master has changed so much that I am also surprised by it, but I suddenly figured it out. Could it be that the young master is imitating Qi Zhuang Gong, and just doesn't make a sound, and becomes a blockbuster."

Ying Zheng didn't say anything, so he naturally didn't believe it.

"Young Master has an upright character and will say whatever he wants, so he had a dispute with Lord Chunyu."

"Upright? Don't you know that Fusu has an upright character? However, I always feel that there is something fishy about Chunyu Yue."

"I dare to ask the king. His Highness has already promised to learn the law to govern the country, and Chunyu Pushe is also a great scholar in the court who is respected by everyone..."

"Leave it to him!"

Zhao Gao naturally understood what the king meant. He could do whatever he wanted.

The young master is suddenly favored by the king, so the other young masters must have been unable to sit still.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Ying Zheng liked Zhao Gao's talent and agility, but Zhao Gao had served him for many years. Ying Zheng also knew Zhao Gao very well, so when he saw his sneaky face, he naturally asked.

"I don't dare. I was just ordered to investigate the whereabouts of the young master. It's just a trivial matter. I'm wondering whether to report it to the king."

"tell me the story."

Zhao Gao thought for a moment and ignored the strange things about the young master staying in bed and being spoiled.

"His Royal Highness is diligent and has often read Young Master Han Fei's articles recently. In addition, His Highness is very close to the young master Jiang Zuo, and there is also an official who works under the young master Jiang Zuo."

"And this subordinate officer is none other than Zhang Han. His Highness also said that he would be recommended to the king."

"Zhang Han, I remember this name. Meng Wu once mentioned this man in front of me, calling him brave and resourceful, and a rare talent."

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I have met Zhang Han several times. He is indeed different from ordinary people."

Seeing that the king is so interested in Zhang Han, Zhao Gao continued, "If you invite this person to serve as a servant in front of the king's court, the king will be promoted..."

"No need." Ying Zheng said directly, "Since Fusu first appreciates him, I will reward him to Fusu."

Zhao Gao lowered his head and fell into deep thought...

After finishing speaking, Ying Zheng resumed his writing and writing.

Zhao Gao had the courage to interrupt and said in a low voice, "Then Young Master, are you still sending people to watch?"

"Let's keep an eye on it first."
