Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 427 Let Zhao Gao 'take the blame' to die? (seeking subscription)
The weather is getting colder.

After serving in the palace for a day, Zhao Gao returned to his mansion, took off his heavy clothes, entered the room where the stove had already been lit, and lay down comfortably on the ground.

He enjoyed the quiet time very much.

When he was in the palace, he had to be submissive, and only in his own home could he move freely.

Zhao Gao sat on the ground casually, even though the outside was already covered in white, but he didn't care at all, and took a sip of the soup and tea from the side from time to time.

Tea has gradually become popular in Xianyang.

Zhao Gao also tasted it.

However, compared to bitter tea, he prefers soup mixed with honey, so he drinks soup with honey.

Zhao Gao is very relaxed now.

During this period of time, many things happened in Xianyang.

The eldest son, Fusu, has already set off to the north, and the Shangshu Division in charge of Qin Luoheng has also set off for Chaoge after a burst of turmoil. However, Qin Luoheng did not leave with the official office, which made Zhao Gao quite embarrassed. Some surprises.

but.

He didn't take it to heart either.

What he dreaded the most during this time was undoubtedly leaking secrets.

But now, he has gradually realized that the investigation by the Yushifu is getting quieter and quieter, and it is obvious that the investigation will not continue. I am afraid that it will not be long before this case can only be closed.

Think of this.

Zhao Gao couldn't help flashing a smug look in his eyes.

How can the courtier Ren be so smart and capable, isn't there nothing he can do about him?
During this period of time, he was extremely cautious in order not to attract attention. Even Hu Hai seldom went there, just because he was afraid of accidents. Now it seems that the effect is surprisingly good.

At least.

He was no longer so suspicious.

Now, Zhao Gao is actually not afraid of further investigation. After such a long time, he has already arranged everything. Even if Zhang Cang wanted to investigate deeply and thoroughly, he would not be able to find anything.

Zhao Gao snorted twice, but felt a little cold.

Can't help cursing: "This plague-stricken weather will kill a bird!"

immediately.

He put the clothes he had taken off earlier on and put them on his body again, and then sipped his soup and tea leisurely, and looked at some documents on the case from time to time, quite relaxed and freehand.

But the good times didn't last long.

Just when Zhao Gao's body was getting warmer, there were bursts of hurried footsteps outside the house. Hearing the sound, Zhao Gao couldn't help frowning, and scolded: "You're in a hurry, what's the matter?"

creak.

The closed door opened.

A gust of cold wind rushed in instantly.

The cold Zhao Gao couldn't help shivering. Zhao Gao just wanted to get angry, but when he saw his younger brother came in, he suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Why are you so anxious? Are you causing trouble outside again?"

Zhao Cheng hurriedly said: "Brother, how dare I dare?"

"Then why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Gao frowned displeasedly.

Zhao Cheng closed the door and said in a low voice: "Brother, it's not me who caused the trouble, but you!"

"Huh?" Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows, his eyes were cloudy and he said: "What do you mean? I have been keeping my own law and order lately, what could cause trouble? What rumors did you hear?"

Zhao Chengdao: "Brother, is the matter in Lu County related to you?"

Zhao Gao's expression darkened slightly.

He said coldly, "Where did you hear about this?"

Zhao Chengdao: "Brother, in the past few days, the people from the Yushifu have started to investigate again. This time, they are different from the previous investigations. They only investigate one area, that is, people who are familiar with the elder brother, and the people from the Yushifu are in After the investigation, I also specifically warned not to leak it, if not for a few people who are familiar with me, otherwise I might not know about it."

"Brother, does Lu County have anything to do with you?"

Zhao Gao was silent.

His eyes were full of surprise and confusion.

He was very sure that he hadn't made any mistakes recently, so why did the people from Yushifu find out about him?Moreover, he was so straightforward, completely convinced of his own appearance.

This shouldn't be!
Zhao Gao couldn't figure it out at all.

subconsciously.

He thought Xu Sheng had been caught.

But immediately, he shook his head. If Xu Sheng was arrested and recruited himself, the people in Yushifu might arrest him immediately. How could he conduct a private investigation?
Xu Sheng must have not been caught.

Zhao Gao is very sure.

Since it wasn't Xu Sheng's problem, he has already taken care of everything else, and it has been so long since the incident, in order not to be implicated, other people will definitely not betray themselves at this time, why is Yu Shifu going after him?

Could it be Lu Sheng?
Zhao Gao thought for a moment in his heart, but still denied this idea.

Lu Sheng was deliberately sent out by him a month ago, and Lu Sheng knew the seriousness of the situation, so he would not easily confess himself. What is the reason?
Zhao Gao was not only flustered.

see.

Zhao Cheng still doesn't understand.

He said anxiously:

"Brother, what should we do now?"

"The people from Yushi's Mansion have already set their sights on Elder Brother. I'm afraid they will attack Elder Brother in a short time. Judging by their posture, I'm afraid they have found something."

Zhao Gao's expression changed again and again.

Then he said coldly:
"What are you panicking about?"

"The sky is falling, and I'm holding it up."

"Standing behind me, Zhao Gao, is Mr. Hu Hai. How dare Zhang Cang dare to arrest me?"

"However, I am very cautious in doing this. It is reasonable that there should be no problems. Moreover, there have been no accidents in the past few months. Why was the problem discovered at this time?"

"Don't you think there is a problem?"

Zhao Cheng shook his head.

How does he know?

He said, "Brother, why are you so determined to target Qin Luoheng?"

Zhao Gao snorted coldly.

Indifferently said:
"Because I have no choice."

"Either he dies, or we die!"

"We have already formed a relationship with Qin Luoheng, but now Qin Luoheng's position in the heart of the first emperor, can't you see that he is even being cultivated according to the line of the crown prince, given time, Qin Luoheng will be in the position, and then there will be more Our way of life?"

"I don't regret my decision."

"The only thing I'm dissatisfied with is the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

"I leaked so much information to them, but I still can't kill Qin Luoheng. It's a waste of all my hard work."

"But it's useless to say that now."

"The most urgent thing is to figure out the status quo."

"I'm pretty sure that I didn't fall into any trap. The only ones who knew about it either fled or were arranged by me to go out, and they won't be able to come back in a short time. As for other people who might be exposed, I have greeted other people and passed away It’s been so long, they can’t go back on their word.”

"Then what's the situation?" Zhao Cheng was a little confused.

Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "I don't know. Even if the people in Yushifu suspect me, if they want to convict me, they must have sufficient evidence. It is impossible for them to find evidence."

Zhao Gao's tone was very affirmative.

Zhao Cheng pondered for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and said in a low voice: "Brother, could it be that the Yushifu didn't find anything at all, and just wanted to find a scapegoat? Dissatisfied, in order not to be condemned, but also to block the mouths of the world, the people in Yushifu want to find someone to take the blame?"

"They chose you, brother!"

heard.

Zhao Gao's face suddenly sank.

Shen said:
"It is indeed possible."

"This matter has a great impact, and a result is definitely needed."

"Compared to other courtiers and those low-status eunuchs and maids, I, Zhao Gao, are undoubtedly the most suitable. I'm afraid this is the cause of this incident."

Figured this out.

Zhao Gao's face turned dark, and he felt aggrieved in his heart. He thought he had handled everything well, but he didn't expect that something would happen in such a muddle-headed way.

Zhao Gaomeng took the case.

Angrily shouted:
"The mother and maid!"

"I, Zhao Gao, have calculated thousands of times, but I missed this point."

"It's so embarrassing to me too!!!"

"This Cang usually looks honest and honest, but in fact he has a heart like a snake."

Zhao Cheng said anxiously:

"Brother, what should we do now?"

"With the opponent's posture, I'm afraid he will really push my brother to 'take the blame'."

Zhao Gao's face was extremely ugly, and he said coldly: "I will go to Hu Hai later, I don't believe that with Hu Hai as a guarantee, Zhang Cang dares to touch me?!"

"Zhang Cang just deceived me to lose power."

"If I'm still in command of Fu Xi, how dare Zhang Cang humiliate me like this?"

"It's so deceiving!"

Zhao Gao was furious and charged.

His entire body was filled with anger beyond measure.

Never at that moment, he felt so aggrieved.

He had clearly been cleared of the suspicion, but because of his insignificance, he was treated as a 'scapegoat', making all his previous actions a joke.

Subsequently.

Zhao Gao took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He said coldly:

"Go back and investigate again."

"I want to know about all the actions of the Yushi Mansion recently, no, Zhang Cang, you, I will remember! You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands, or I will make your life worse than death!"

Zhao Gao flicked his sleeves angrily, put on his outer clothes, and hurried out of the house.

He dared not delay now.

He has already guessed Zhang Cang's thoughts, so he naturally knows what Zhang Cang is going to do. He just needs to find out some of his past mistakes, and then use some ambiguous words to convict himself, and then completely close the previous leak conclusion.

He did make some arrangements.

But it was limited to the things that I knew with Xu Sheng.

As for what happened before, there is no way to cover it up. What's more, last time, he was investigated and dealt with by Meng Yi, so how could he not find out the problem?
Zhang Cang was clearly interested in this point.

This is to let him die!
soon.

Then a carriage arrived outside the mansion.

Zhao Gao didn't let the little official arranged to drive the horse, but sat down on the seat, whipped the whip, and drove the carriage towards the palace at high speed.

This kind of thing cannot be delayed!

He didn't dare to bet when Zhang Cang would do anything to him.

If he moves too slowly, let Zhang Cang arrest him in advance, and at that time, under the condition of "getting stolen goods together", even if Hu Hai tries to protect him, he may not be able to survive.

Zhao Gao's driving skills are very superb.

It took him a quarter of an hour to get there, but he arrived in just half an hour.

Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Zhao Gao jumped straight down, and after a search, he also entered the palace as he wished. He didn't dare to delay at all, and walked quickly towards the Lama Temple where Hu Hai was.

soon.

Zhao Gao then arrived at Lama Temple.
