Chapter 43

In the main hall, Zulong's expression was gloomy.

The dim candlelight made the hall look a bit dark.

And the figure of Zulong on the dragon chair looks a little darker in the shaking of the candlelight.

"Your Majesty, Commander Zi Shisan of the Shadow Guard is asking to see you."

The little eunuch's words awakened Zu Long from his contemplation.

"Zi Thirteen? Tell him to come in."

Zu Long thought to himself, Zi Shisan was sent by him to protect Qin Mu.

Now that the thirteenth son is returning to the palace, could something have happened?

Immediately after the shadow guard entered the palace, he knelt on one knee and saluted: .

"Zi Shisan pays homage to His Majesty!"

Zu Long stared at Zi Shisan's robe, he saw blood stains on that robe.

"What's the matter?"

"Return to Your Majesty. Today, I am protecting Divine Doctor Qin under His Majesty's order. Half an hour ago, Divine Doctor Qin was assassinated. I dare not delay, so I came here to report back."

Zulong's pupils trembled, even though he had guessed a little before, he still couldn't hide his worry: .

"Assassinated? Is everyone safe? Are you injured?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Miracle Doctor Qin is safe and sound. It's just that Miracle Qin's bodyguards were shot with arrows and bleeding profusely."

Zu Long let go of his clenched hands: "It's fine if you're not injured."

Needless to say Qin Mu's medical skills, as long as he is not injured, Dian Wei will not be affected no matter how serious the injury is.

In the process of Qin Mu's medical practice, apart from bringing the dead back to life, nothing seems to be a problem...

Zu Long has personally experienced that a single pill can make him light and healthy, as if he was ten years younger.

Where did he think of it... As soon as Zu Long heard that Qin Mu was fine, his mind immediately relaxed.

He turned his attention back and looked at Zi Shisan who was kneeling on the ground: .

"Who is the assassin?"

Zi Shisan trembled all over. Since he followed Zulong, he had never felt such a strong coldness in Zulong's words!

He only felt that if the culprit was here now, Zu Long would kill him with his own hands!

"Your Majesty, there are a large number of assassins, more than a hundred."

Zulong didn't speak.

He knew that Zi Shisan must have found the mastermind behind the scenes.

If his shadow guards didn't even have this ability, they wouldn't be able to become the backbone of the imperial palace.

Zi Shisan bowed his head and continued: .

"Qin doctor has found out that the mastermind behind the scenes is the wife of Nei Shi Yuansui."

At this time, Zisan suddenly thought of Dian Wei's step on the assassin's hand and the scene where Qin Mu calmly pulled out the assassin's other hand.

He shivered involuntarily.

After Zu Long asked, he also learned about that scene.

The lights were dim, and Zulong closed his eyes for a while: .

"Facing the enemy's thunderous methods, Shura has a heart. Treat the common people equally, save the world and save the people. Good!"

Zulong suddenly opened his eyes and said: .

"Yuan Sui, the internal historian, indulged in power, oppressed goodness, and beheaded everywhere."

"His family members are temporarily under the custody of the imperial army, and no one can escape. Wait for Yuan Sui to punish him before dealing with it."

Zi Shisan resigned and continued to protect Qin Mu.

Zulong's order was passed on to the relevant ministers by the eunuch himself.

For a moment, the Great Qin Dynasty Hall shook.

In the history of the Great Qin Dynasty, it is not unheard of for a high-ranking person to be destroyed overnight.

Far away, Shang Yang, who laid the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty, was torn apart after the new king ascended the throne.

Nearby, Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an who attacked the city and plundered land, was given to death during the march.

However, even death was caused by the king's jealousy or court battles.

Because the people in the court have all soared to the sky because of the king's favor and enjoyed all the glory and wealth.

Being with the king is like being with a tiger, and dying after losing the favor of the king is actually the price that this game deserves.

However, the death of Nei Shi was actually caused by a struggle with a commoner.

Is it just that he is about to be beheaded for stealing millions of stones of food from this commoner?
Even later, Nei Shi's wife sent assassins to kill her.

But that's just a commoner after all.

The court is the dignitaries, and the common people are ants.

If a person tramples an ant to death, why should he pay the price?

This matter touches the bottom line of the rich and powerful.

Today is unlucky for the internal history, and was bumped into by His Majesty on tour in Weifu.

Will the next one be me?
These dignitaries have been riding on the heads of the common people for too long, and it is too difficult for them to come down and treat the common people as equals.

Prime Minister's House.

Nei Shi's wife was crying on the ground in front of Li Si.

No one expected that His Majesty actually sentenced Nei Shi to beheaded.

In her opinion, she is just a commoner. Perhaps His Majesty met him, but she must have understood the case.

As long as she sends people to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, and there is no one who suffers, what is going on with this case or are they allowed to fabricate it?
At that time, when Zu Long asked, it was nothing more than "Qin Mu committed suicide in fear of crime".

But this time His Majesty seemed really angry.

Not only did he want the internal history of Yuansui, but he also asked the imperial army to surround his house.

It is clear that this matter is not over, and when Yuan Sui dies, there must be an even more violent liquidation!

"Li Xiang, if I didn't have some relationship with the imperial army, I'm afraid I wouldn't even see you today!"

"Your Majesty, he is too cruel. Yuan Sui used to be his confidant, how could he kill a commoner if he wanted to!"

Li Si sighed.

"Miss Yuan, your natal family is also a big family in Xianyang, why don't you go back to your natal family for help?"

Mrs. Ness raised her head: .

"At this moment, His Majesty is furious. If someone who is close to my husband goes to intercede, His Majesty will definitely be angered!"

She looked at Li Si and said: .

"And Li Xiang has never had any contact with my husband, and he is favored by His Majesty. Only by your advice can there be hope!"

Li Si shook his head and said: .

"Just now I pleaded with His Majesty in the palace, but what I got was nothing more than a reprimand."

Looking at the woman in disbelief, Li Si added: .

"Originally, internal history is not a fatal situation. His Majesty sent him to prison, obviously considering how to deal with it."

"But your assassination touched His Majesty's Ni Lin, and he cannot escape death. Madam Yuan, why not think about how to protect your family!"

Despair appeared in Mrs. Neishi's eyes, and now she regretted the act of sending someone to assassinate Qin Mu.

If he hadn't sent someone to assassinate Qin Mu, then Nei Shi might still have survived.

Now, there is no hope.

She stepped forward suddenly, hugging Li Si's boots with tears streaming down her face: .

"Li Xiang, please look at my father's face, and go and beg His Majesty again!"

"When you came to Daqin, it was my father who introduced you to His Majesty..."

Li Si sighed.

The most feared thing is still coming.

When he first came to Daqin, he was just an unpopular legalist disciple.

Daqin already had Han Feizi, the leader of the Legalists, so why would he need him, Li Si?

After three months of doing nothing in Xianyang, Li Si, who spent all his money, met Mrs. Neishi's father.

The famous "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" was handed to King Qin's desk.

Later, the two teamed up to frame Han Feizi and put him in prison.

This is how he, Li Si, came to the fore.

Now that Bole has passed away, Li Si had no choice but to help his daughter beg for him.

"Forget it, prepare the court clothes, and I will enter the palace to meet His Majesty!"
