Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 22 Meng Yi complained to the First Emperor! Zhao Gao knelt down and begged for mercy!
"Father, the teacher has always been cautious and rarely talks to outsiders."

"This bully squire deliberately used the teacher's name to deceive."

Hu Hai had a look of horror on his face as he looked at the First Emperor and said, cupping his hands.

Hu Hai knew about the bully squire Meng Yi was talking about.

This bully squire contributes a lot of money to the teacher Zhao Gao every year, and the teacher gives the money to him.

Hu Hai was very satisfied with this squire and allowed him to do evil in the county.

He thought that no one would find out if he did evil things in a county town.

Unexpectedly, Fusu went to Yufeng County and went straight to the squire's home.

Not only did he bring all the money from the squire's family to Xianyang City, he also implicated his teacher Zhao Gao.

All Hu Hai can do now is plead for the teacher, hoping that his and the teacher's sophistry can convince his father.

It was precisely because of Zhao Gao's help that Hu Hai was able to compete with Fusu.

If the teacher was beheaded by his father because of this incident, Hu Hai knew very well that he would not be able to deal with Fusu.

The other ministers in the Qilin Palace looked at Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. They had heard what Zhao Gao and Hu Hai said just now.

Some ministers believed that Zhao Gao was wronged, and many squires liked to pull the tiger's skin to pull the flag.

Although Zhao Gao was just an eunuch, most ministers did not dare to provoke him.

Some squires pretended to be related to Zhao Gao to make others fear him.

There were also some ministers who did not believe what Zhao Gao said, and Li Si was one of them.

Li Si, who was standing behind Hu Hai, felt a trace of disdain when he heard Zhao Gao's words.

If the squire who was executed by Fu Su did not know Zhao Gao,

How could he be so arrogant? In the county town, even the county magistrate didn't take him seriously.

Only with Zhao Gao's support behind him could this country squire be so arrogant.

"Humph!"

"Zhao Gao will be punished for one year and reflect on himself."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Slave, thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Zhao Gao heard Ying Zheng's words, his expression returned to normal, and his heart dropped.

When Meng Yi's words came out, Zhao Gao was really worried that His Majesty would execute him.

This matter may be big or small, it all depends on what His Majesty thinks.

The punishment His Majesty had just given him was light enough, and Zhao Gao was very happy.

Zhao Gao lowered his head, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

He was in such embarrassment in the hall today because of Fusu and Meng Yi.

When Hu Hai becomes the new emperor of Qin, he will not let Fu Su and Meng Yi go.

Zhao Gao of the entire Meng family will not let it go, and he will always remember the humiliation he suffered today.

Hu Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the First Emperor's words. Fortunately, his father only fined the teacher one year's salary.

Hu Hai glanced at Fusu and then at Meng Yi.

It would all be because of the two of them, if Fusu hadn't led soldiers to Yufeng County to search the squire's home.

How could the teacher kneel on the ground begging his father for mercy in the main hall, and be seen clearly by other ministers?

In addition, Hu Hai also lost a money bag. The squire contributed a lot of money to him every year.

Fusu's inspection this time deprived him of the squire's money bag.

Thinking of this, Hu Hai felt very angry. Fusu and Meng Yi were targeting him like this, and he must avenge him.

Meng Yi felt a little regretful when he heard what the First Emperor said.

He originally thought that even if His Majesty did not pull Zhao Gao out and kill him, he would be punished relatively severely.

As a result, His Majesty's punishment was only to punish Zhao Gao for one year.

But this is good news, at least it allows Zhao Gao to reveal his true colors to His Majesty.

The corners of Fusu's mouth rose slightly, as his father's punishment was expected. When he returned to his house yesterday, he went to consult Lin Xuan specifically. During the discussion, he mentioned that the squire claimed to be Zhao Gao's godson.

Fusu also asked Lin Xuan whether this matter could drag Zhao Gao into the water and let his father punish Zhao Gao vigorously.

Lin Xuan told him at that time that His Majesty's punishment for Zhao Gao would not be too severe.

After all, Zhao Gao has served His Majesty for many years and has won His Majesty's trust.

What the squire said was just one person's words, and there was no evidence that Zhao Gao was the squire's godfather.

Without real evidence, His Majesty will not severely punish Zhao Gao.

As soon as his father's words of punishment for Zhao Gao came out, Fusu knew that what Lin Xuan said was indeed right.

He admired Lin Xuan even more in his heart. Lin Xuan's analysis was actually accurate.

"Brother checked out the home of this bully squire yesterday, so that the people will no longer be oppressed by this bully."

"Hu Hai admires his brother very much in his heart. He presented more than ten boxes of gold and silver jewelry to his father."

"It seems like a lot, but it's a drop in the bucket for the empty national treasury."

"Yesterday, my brother said that there is a way to solve the empty treasury today."

"Brother's solution won't be to use these dozen boxes of gold and silver jewelry, right?"

Hu Hai looked at Fusu with a smile on his face.

Just now, Fusu made trouble for his teacher, causing his teacher Zhao Gao to embarrass himself in front of his father and ministers.

He wanted to regain this face. Hu Hai remembered that Fusu said yesterday that there would be a way to solve the problem of the empty treasury today.

Now that the opportunity to regain face had come, he wanted to see how Fusu would reply to his father.

Just relying on these dozen boxes of gold and silver jewelry is not enough.

When the ministers heard Hu Hai's words, they suddenly remembered.

Today, Fusu explains to His Majesty how to solve the problem of the emptiness of the Qin treasury.

Everyone looked at Fusu, and Meng Yi had a bad feeling in his heart after hearing Hu Hai's words.

Zhao Gao's embarrassed look just now made him so relieved that he forgot the most important thing.

Today, Fusu explains to His Majesty the solution to the emptiness of the national treasury.

Chunyu Yue felt relatively happy at this time, because Fusu had performed so well in front of His Majesty just now.

Chunyu Yue felt a little worried if His Majesty paid attention to Fusu again.

It will be very difficult for Chunyu Yue to control Fusu again.

After Hu Hai's words came out, he knew he still had a chance.

He didn't think Fusu could tell a solution to the empty treasury.

Zhao Gao raised his head and glanced at Hu Hai, feeling very satisfied.

As a student, I can still be very useful sometimes. His Majesty will definitely wait for Fusu's explanation after hearing this.

"Hu Hai reminded me, Fusu, you said yesterday that you would tell me how to solve the treasury today."

"If you have any idea, just say it."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a soft expression on his face.

Fusu brought him more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and also eradicated a bully squire who bullied the people.

Ying Zheng was already very satisfied with Fusu's performance yesterday. As for the solution to the emptiness of the treasury.

As long as it wasn't too much, Ying Zheng would not scold Fusu.

"What my eighteenth brother said just now is not quite right. These dozen boxes of gold and silver jewelry cannot solve the emptiness of the national treasury."

"If there are hundreds of boxes or even more of gold, silver and jewelry, do you think the eighteenth brother can solve the problem of the emptiness of the Qin treasury?"

Fusu looked at Hu Hai and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Fusu's words, hundreds of boxes or even more gold, silver and jewelry.

They thought Fusu was talking nonsense. Where could they get so much gold, silver and jewelry?
"Since brother said so, he must be able to get hundreds of boxes or even more gold, silver and jewelry."

"In that case, brother, please tell me how you can have so much gold, silver and jewelry?"
