Chapter 177 There is a conspiracy lurking(2/2)

"Are you saying that the relationship between these people and Jia Xiong is not obvious enough?"

"Yes, and when the former general was killed, Jia Xiong was not present."

Li Zhao frowned.

"But what I am sure of is that Jia Xiong is not a good man. The young master must be careful of him." Wu Fang clasped his fists to remind him.

Li Zhao remembered this in his mind and began to ponder. The next moment, his expression changed and he quickly ordered Wu Quan, "You must escort these people into Xianyang immediately. They must arrive before dawn."

Wu Quan saw Li Zhao's anxiety and quickly asked: "Master, what happened?"

"Don't ask too much, prepare quickly, be sure to arrive before dawn, and find a way to secretly enter the vicinity of the palace and wait outside the city gate."

"Also, tear gas is only effective for half a day. You must tie it tightly to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Wu Quan saw the seriousness of the young master, so he didn't ask any more questions and immediately ordered the guards to get busy.

Li Zhao did not hesitate, feeling that this matter was not a trivial matter, and he must enter the palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible, although it was getting dark now.

"Hurry, prepare your horses, I want to enter the palace."

The emperor allowed him to act conveniently and did not require him to go to court, but he still had the privilege of entering the palace.

With the development of Chang'an Township, horses were already equipped, and there were even more cattle for farming. Soon, Achao brought the horses, and he mounted them and hurried to Xianyang.

The single horse was much faster than the carriage. At Xu's hour, Li Zhao finally arrived at the imperial city.

Li Zhao was a popular person around the emperor, and the guards did not dare to neglect him when they saw him. They hurriedly reported the matter and soon came out and led Li Zhao in.

Ying Zheng was really diligent in his work. Even though it was completely dark, he was still burning the midnight oil to deal with government affairs.

A pile of bamboo slips had been changed into paper. Even so, the desk was piled with volumes of paper. He kept flipping through them. Even though late autumn had passed and the cold winter was coming to an end, he could not hide the dripping on his forehead.

sweat.

"Your Majesty, Li Zhao, comes to pay homage to you at night. It's really disturbing."

When Li Zhaojin saw him, he immediately knelt down and bowed his hands in salute.

Ying Zheng looked up at him with a kind smile.

He became more and more satisfied with this minister.

"Get up! Is something wrong?"

"Yes! I just said so." Li Zhao didn't hide it and was about to tell what happened in Chang'an Township.

There is no other way. Since there is a conspiracy against him, he cannot just watch and be plotted by the conspiracy. He must let His Majesty know as soon as possible. This is to nip it in the bud.

"Wait a minute." Ying Zheng suddenly stopped what he was about to say and said in a different tone, "I have been struggling with the second book for so long and it should be enough. When will you lower the price? Two thousand and a half taels, a loss."

Only you can figure it out."

"You think all my Da Qin students are as rich as Li Si."

Yes, Li Si was very rich. After the incident, he ransacked Li Si's house and found a large amount of money. This would have been impossible if he was not greedy for money.

"Of course, Shusun Tong banned your second book, I can take it upon myself to punish him, and your grudges should be put to rest!"

Li Zhao also did not expect that His Majesty would mention this matter, but this was not the time to mention it, so he reluctantly agreed: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I will restore the original price on a given day, but before that, I sincerely ask your Majesty to be my minister."

Call the shots.”

"Oh!" Ying Zheng was interested. This was the first time. This son rarely asked him to do things, but he often asked him for help.

"Tell me and listen!"

"No!" Li Zhao organized his words and told what happened during the day.

"What? There are students who want to attack you? In broad daylight, with everything clear, they rebelled." Ying Zheng was furious when he heard this.

This is the commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty. How can a person who has made such great achievements be attacked and killed at will?

"Can you find out who did it?"

"I have not found out, but I guess that this matter is by no means as simple as an attack and killing. After all, those people are not real students."

"It's really unreasonable. Taking advantage of our government's good treatment of students and using such methods is contempt for our government." Ying Zheng was furious, "Li Zhao, if you have any ideas, I will definitely make the decision for you."

"I don't have any other ideas, and I don't dare to make random guesses. Maybe your Majesty can wait until dawn, and maybe you can get some clues."

"Forget it! I'll just wait until dawn."

"Also, I have arrested all the criminals. They will arrive in Xianyang after dawn, and Shusun Tong is among them."

Li Zhao added.

"Shusun Tong, this person is really bad, he deserves to die!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's murderous expression, Li Zhao quickly said: "Your Majesty, Shusun Tong deserves to die, but now is not the time to execute him. If we want to find out the mastermind, we need to start with him."

Ying Zheng nodded and agreed.

"Let me go to court tomorrow morning! If someone wants to harm you, morning court may be a good time."

Li Zhao nodded.

He wanted to see if Jia Xiong was that person.

Li Zhao quickly retreated. He did not return to Chang'an Township. Instead, he found an inn at the Imperial City Gate, booked it all, and waited for the arrival of Wu Quan and others.

The other courtyard was completely dark, but one room was lit. Under the candlelight, a long shadow moved, and someone was pacing back and forth inside, not sleepy at all.

This person is none other than Jia Xiong.

"Come here, ask the inquirer if there is any news about Shusun Tong?"

Jia Xiong shouted "Slave".

The slave immediately handed over, "General, there is no news from Chang'an Township. They seem to have disappeared."

"Disappeared? Haha! Disappeared well! Contact me immediately. It's time."
