Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 228

"Move all the food away!" Neishi An immediately ordered.

A group of Youjia immediately rushed up and began to move bags of grain to other places. Just as the outer layer of grain was transported away, there was a sudden cry of pain, and the three of them rushed up to check.

A Youjiao was holding his bloody arm, sitting on the ground and screaming in pain, and a knife tip was exposed outside a bag of grain on his side.

Looking at this scene, the three of them still don't understand the truth, it must be that Jiang Lu secretly hid the weapon in the grain, but the weapon was too sharp and broke the sack and leaked out. Wounded by weapons.

"Take him down to bandage the wound." Neshi'an continued, "Open all the sacks and check carefully!"

Next, some travelers were much more careful in their movements. Bags of grain were opened and poured onto the ground. Almost every bag of grain was mixed with some weapons. Finally, after careful measurement, it was just a sword. There are thousands of crossbows, and there are even dozens of strong crossbows among them. Meng Yi failed to pull them out after a little attempt. The range of these crossbows is absolutely extremely far.

The scene in front of them stunned all three of them. Jiang Lu, a prince who secretly accumulated so many weapons in the capital, really didn't need to think about what he wanted to do.

Li Fang, who was on the side, saw so many weapons found in the warehouse, he was frightened out of his wits.

Thinking about these three people holding the king's order and rushing into the mansion to control the son and general, naturally the first thought is that the son's plot to rebel was discovered by others?

Seeing Meng Yi glanced at him, Li Fang's expression turned ashen. This treason is a heinous crime. Not only the parties involved, but everyone in the family may die if it is committed.

And judging from the situation of these people, they must have grasped the specific criminal evidence of the young master's treason, and the swords and swords found here are all evidence of the treason.

Li Fang is a very smooth person, and his head turns extremely fast in critical moments. When the guilt has been confirmed, even if he pretends to be ignorant, he may not be able to escape punishment. The only way to save himself is to bite back. Tainted witnesses.

Immediately bent his legs, fell to his knees with a plop, knocked his head on the ground and said in trepidation: "This is all the work of Mr. Jiang Lu, it has nothing to do with me."

Although Ziying had told him to try not to let the servants in the mansion talk too much, so as not to be seen as flawed, but upon hearing this sentence, Nei Shi'an suddenly found that the steward in Jianglu's mansion was very "upright", It should be beneficial and harmless to let him say a few words.

Immediately he asked: "Tell me, how did the young master plan to plot rebellion?"

Nei Shi'an's instructive words immediately "confirmed" what Li Fang thought in his mind, and it was true that Mr. Lu wanted to rebel, and now the incident has happened.

Immediately he said in great panic: "About two months ago, the young master talked with a merchant who looked like a merchant for a long time, and then he ordered that the warehouse be handed over to the merchant for use, and the rest should not wait.

As for why there are weapon villains in it, I really don't know. "

"Then, have you done anything unusual these days, such as befriending some heroes?" Neishi An continued to ask.

The heroic man, Jiang Lu, has indeed been dealing with a lot these days. When he planned to assassinate Ziying a while ago, many famous knights had to be invited to the mansion, but at that time, no one could enter except Jian Yi. Got the general's eyes.

Moreover, it was Li Fang who went to visit Jianyi to ask him to assassinate Ziying at that time. Of course, Li Fang could not say that Jianglu planned to assassinate Ziying. After all, he was deeply involved in this action, but it did not affect what he said. something else.

Li Fang understands that at this time, only by telling everything as much as possible in front of other people can he be able to make the most of his crime and meritorious deeds.

"A while ago, Mr. General Lu ordered me to visit all the famous swordsmen in Xianyang. Many of them were even invited to the mansion by Mr. Master, but I heard from Mr. Wang that none of these people's swordsmanship is strong enough to be useful."

That's all Li Fang said, but Meng Yi and Zhao Gao followed Li Fang's words and spread out immediately.

Looking for a strong swordsman
must be sharp
otherwise useless
The accumulation of these conditions is clearly prepared for the assassination of others.

Needless to say, the target of the assassination must be the current king of Qin.

The three of them looked at each other with some horror in their eyes, they never thought that the young master would actually do such a thing.

Soldiers who went to other places to search during this time also gathered in the warehouse after searching.

"What have you gained?" Neishi An asked aloud.

"Mr. Jianglu's house, we have searched all over the place and found no other suspicious things, but..."

"But what?"

"However, we only found less than fifty coins in the mansion, and there is not a single piece of treasure in the mansion, all of them are ordinary items." This You Jiao said quite puzzled.

"Well, we got it." But Naishi An just nodded his head slightly.

The faces of Meng Yi and Zhao Gao did not change much, which was within the expected range of the three of them. In the courtyard where the semi-finished weapons were seized before, a large amount of money and treasures from the general's mansion had already been discovered.

It must be that the general has already dissipated all his wealth in order to hoard these weapons.

Afterwards, Nei Shi An ordered Li Fang to write down what he just said word by word, and handed it over to Meng Yi after signing and stamping: "The situation here will bother you two noble envoys to report to the king."

Nei Shi'an also understood that although these two people's official positions were far from his own, they were extremely trusted by King Qin, and the effect of what they said was far better than his own.

Moreover, the main purpose of my coming here is to complete the task of Lord Chang'an, and I have no intention of competing with Meng Yi and Zhao Gao.

For the time being, all the people in the mansion, big and small, were imprisoned, and the three rushed back to the palace overnight to report to King Qin.

As soon as he saw King Qin, without waiting for Nei Shi'an and Meng Yi to speak, Zhao Gao uttered what he had seen and heard in the house raid, including the three people's guesses, like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Zhao Zheng suddenly changed color, stared at the three with red eyes and said: "Meng Yi, what Zhao Gao said is true."

"It is not false to report to the King Shangzhao Fuling." Meng Yi replied without any expression.

"Okay, really lonely good son! He actually wants to do such a rebellious thing." Zhao Zheng said angrily.

Nei Shi'an, I order you to find out the crimes committed by the general, and tell the world to execute him!
At this moment, Zhao Zheng was very disappointed with Jiang Lu's son. He first snatched his brother's wife, and then after being deprived of his heir status, he would intend to do outrageous things to usurp the throne.

Zhao Zheng has always attached great importance to matters of power, because he has had enough of the days when power is left to others, and when he does not want to hand over power, even his son will never want to steal it.

……

Nei Shi'an's actions were not unpleasant, and soon he got the first-hand "confession" from the servants of the mansion, identifying that the young master Jianglu's actions did indeed have the tendency of treason.

Although Young Master Jiang Lu was still stubborn, it did not prevent Nei Shi'an from beheading him.

"My lord, the matter you have explained has been completed, and the general will be sentenced to death in ten days." In the heavy night, Nei Shi'an appeared in Chang'an Jun's mansion, and said to Ziying in a low voice.

However, after listening to Nei Shi'an's words, Ziying didn't feel happy at all, but kept frowning.

No, there must be something negligent.

After a while, Ziying's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, motioning for Nei Shi An to come over and give him a word.

"Your Majesty, is this necessary?" Neishi An asked in surprise.

Ziying said indifferently: "Your Majesty is suspicious, this is inevitable, just do as I say."

……

Although Jiang Lu was sentenced to death, after all, the status of King Qin's parents and children was respected, and even if he died, he could not be insulted, so he was locked in a cell alone.

Ever since he was imprisoned here, Jiang Lu has been screaming and wanting to sue the King of Qin, but he has not been able to get an answer. After learning that he was sentenced to death, he seemed a little crazy.

This day, when General Lu was clamoring to tell King Qin his grievances as usual, the gate of the dungeon where he was held alone was suddenly slowly opened.

A man who looked like an eunuch in the palace, accompanied by a group of people, came to the place where the general was held alone.

"I came here on the order of the King of Qin, and I came here to ask you if you have something to say, the king?" The eunuch asked as soon as he came.

"Please also tell my father that Jiang Lu is wronged! Jiang Lu absolutely has no intention of treason!" Jiang Lu said with an excited expression as if he saw a straw to save his life.

However, to Jiang Lu's surprise, he received a severe beating in return for his complaints, and was even nearly suffocated by these people with layers of water-stained silk.

It can be seen that these people who beat people are all masters, and they are recruited to the flesh, but they can't see any scars from the outside.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, another person who looked like a servant in the palace came to the prison.

"Does the young master have any grievances and want to appeal to the king?" The man asked since then.

Yesterday's story was fake, today's story must be true, Jiang Lu thought, and then complained about his grievances to the messenger.

however.

Another beating...

From this day on, people of different identities would claim to be the envoys of the King of Qin every day, and would come to ask the general if he had any grievances or if he had anything to say to the King of Qin.

However, whenever Jiang Lu complained about injustice, what he got in return was always a severe beating, and then he used silk soaked in water to make Jiang Lu feel the feeling of being suffocated to death. Lu, I no longer dare to say that I have been wronged.

Every time a "messenger" came to inquire, the general replied honestly: "I plead guilty! I have nothing to say."

Slowly, Jiang Lu also discovered that as long as he "behaved well", these jailers could be said to be responsive, no matter what he wanted to eat, drink, or play, he would bring him in.

Later, he tried to get a woman to accompany him, but he never thought that these people would bring him a beautiful prostitute from among the women.

Jiang Lu was not a pure-hearted person, otherwise he would not have conflicted with Ziying because of his thoughts on Sima Jingjing.

And this society is going to die anyway, and Jiang Lu even let go of all the etiquette, righteousness, and shame, and spends every day in prison with this prostitute, sometimes even the "messenger" comes without any scruples, enjoying life on his own.

This move is naturally from Ziying's strategy. It is a common phenomenon for emperors to be suspicious, and after all, Jianglu is the son of King Qin. Whether it is out of a father's love or a king's doubts, he will definitely be suspicious Lu asked why he acted like this.

This strategy was not Ziying's original, but copied by Zhao Gao, who has not yet become popular, and Zhao Gao used this trick to kill Li Si more than ten years later.

After Li Si was imprisoned, Zhao Gao was worried that when the people sent by Emperor Qin Ershi interrogated Li Si, Li Si sued Li Si and overturned the case, so he sent people pretending to be censors, visitors, servants, etc., to interrogate Li Si in the name of Qin Er Shi in turn.When Li Si answered with the truth, Zhao Gao ordered someone to torture him again until Li Si no longer changed his confession and pleaded guilty...

……

Two days before Jianglu was beheaded, two eunuchs came to Neishi's mansion from the palace and asked to see Jianglu by the king's order.

As soon as the two eunuchs came, Nei Shi An immediately fell in admiration of Ziying's foresight. If it wasn't for Ziying's arrangement in advance, he might have to die here this time.

However, Nei Shi'an still showed a embarrassed expression, and said with some airs: "The two angel kings ordered to see Mr. General Lu, so An naturally didn't dare to stop him, but this time Mr. General Lu should not It's convenient, can you wait for a while, I'll send someone to let Young Master Jianglu prepare it."

After listening to Nei Shi'an's words, the two eunuchs immediately said in a drake-like voice: "Why don't you still need to collude with your son?"

These two are also popular people around King Qin, and this time they came here by the king's order, so naturally they have no fear of Nei Shi'an.

And looking at Nei Shi'an's expression and movements, the two of them immediately thought that there might be something else hidden in the case of the young master Jianglu that they didn't want them to see.

If the two of them can find other evidence or exonerate Mr. Lu, they will definitely be able to overwhelm Zhao Gao in one fell swoop.

"Since the two noble envoys insist on going, follow me over there." Nei Shi'an saw that Gou Re was almost done, so he led the two eunuchs towards the prison.

"Hmph!" The two eunuchs snorted coldly, and followed Neishi An closely to the prison.

The prison in Xianyang City was near the Neishi Mansion, and the three of them came to the prison after walking for a short time.

As soon as they arrived at the place where the young master Jianglu was detained alone, the two of them heard a burst of panting, and they heard some women's panting carefully.

"This is?" The two eunuchs looked at Nei Shi'an with some doubts.

Neishi An waved his hands helplessly, and said, "This is the place, the two noble envoys will know when they go in."

After speaking, he ordered someone to open the gate of the dungeon, and the voices heard outside the door became clearer as soon as he entered. When they arrived at the place where the general was imprisoned by a single household, the scene in front of them stunned the two eunuchs.

In a spacious prison cell, two white bodies are tightly entangled like worms, rolling continuously on the brocade-paved bed, and one of them is one of the targets of the two of them here. General Lu.

The tables in the house are even more filled with delicious food and wine.
