Chapter 154 Regardless of your intrigue, I just want to make money(1/2)

Return to the carriage in the palace.

Ying Zheng sat upright on the cushion without saying a word.

After a while of silence, Wang Ben couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty...what should I do now?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyelids, glanced at Wang Ben, and said coldly: "Didn't you say that after he practiced the troops, we will take it for ourselves? You'd better give me an explanation now!"

“………”

Wang Ben lowered his head heavily and did not dare to say anything.

Ying Zheng said coldly: "If it weren't for you, would I dispatch elite troops from all over the army?"

At the beginning, Zhao Kun asked for someone who was fourteen or fifteen years old and had no concerns in his life. As a result, Wang Ben instigated him to dispatch elite troops from various armies. Now he feels like "a meat bun hits a dog, but he will go but never return."

It made him feel a little depressed.

But Wang Ben still had a bitter face and defended himself: "Your Majesty, the old minister didn't expect that Mr. Kun was so eloquent..."

"snort!"

Ying Zheng snorted and sneered: "Did you not expect it? I don't think it was that you didn't think it at all!"

Hearing this, Wang Ben smiled embarrassedly and asked tentatively: "Why... let's take back the person?"

"I've given it all, how can I collect it?"

Ying Zheng glared at him, "Am I the kind of person who speaks without trust?!"

"......what do you think you should do?"

Wang Ben asked helplessly.

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and then said as if he was right: "Since the problem is you, then you will compensate me. Well... all the pottery in the palace must be replaced with porcelain."

wtf?

Why is Your Majesty such a person?

Wang Ben was stupid.

There are at least thousands of pottery pieces in the entire palace!

The key is that he didn't expect Ying Zheng to come here for him.

.........

at the same time.

Inside the secret room of Zhao Gao’s mansion.

Li Si, Xin Sheng, Zhao Gao and Yao Jia are plotting.

Yao Jia said with a bitter face: "Zhao Mansion has cheated me so badly this time. There are five remnants of the six kingdoms investigated and punished;

If Your Majesty blames me, I am afraid I will die without a place to bury me!"

As he said, his face showed a look of panic.

Zhao Gao knelt on the cushion. Although his face was expressionless, the blood on his face was slightly white. It was obvious that his body had not fully recovered after being tortured.

However, after hearing Yao Jia's words, he still said coldly to him; "Yao Tingwei came from afar, was he deliberately blamed Zhao?"

"Shouldn't Zhao's Mansion Order give us an explanation?"

Before Yao Jia could answer, Li Si, who was beside him, suddenly spoke.

His tone revealed dissatisfaction, which made Zhao Gao frown slightly; "Prime Minister Li is also blaming Zhao?"

"Since you are an ally, you should be honest! If you are not clean, you are not harming yourself!"

"you!"

When Zhao Gao heard this, he was immediately a little angry.

But when he said something, he swallowed it back because he had been dismissed from his title and position by Ying Zheng, so he had to look at the expressions of Li Si and others.

To relieve his emotions, he immediately changed his smile and bowed to Li Si. "What Prime Minister Li said is very true. I have indeed made some confusion and should not make everyone feel scared."

"But." At this point, the topic changed and then said: "Don't worry, the old slave did not hide any of the slightest credibility of the remnants of the six kingdoms offered this time, so he would like to draw a clear line with them!"

"However, our goals should be the same, and we must not let Young Master Kun take advantage of the situation and rise!"

"This is reasonable for the Zhao Mansion Order!"

Before Li Si could speak, Yao Jia, who was standing aside, interrupted: "This time I came to Pinyang. In addition to reporting to Your Majesty the progress of investigating the remnants of the six countries, there is another important thing to know about you."

Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at Yao Jia.

But Yao Jia said slowly: "According to the news I have recently received, Young Master Kun may be really plotting to rebel."

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were shocked.

They had previously spread news of Zhao Kun's rebellion, but they were just accusations. Now Yao Jia told them that something was true, which shocked them and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Can there be evidence for this news?"

Li Si took the lead in asking.

He knew better than anyone else that if Ying Zheng’s favor for Zhao Kun was not sufficiently evidence, it would be difficult for Ying Zheng to punish Zhao Kun.

"There is no definite evidence. It's just that when interrogating a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, he confessed that Prince Kun had contacted Lu Hou and the two men."

"Lu Hou and the other two?"

Li Si was stunned and frowned, "Can they be Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng who slandered His Majesty?"

"Good! It's them."

Yao Jia nodded and said, "It is said that Mr. Kun had secretly seen them on the eve of Lu Hou's escape."

"Who is this news from?" Zhao Gao asked afterwards.

Yao Jia glanced at him and frowned and said, "The eunuch ordered Jiao Si."

"So it's him!"

Zhao Gao's heart sank.

This Jiao is the remnant of the six kingdoms he offered.

He didn't expect that Jiao Si would hide such important news from him.

It seems that this person deserves to die.

However, it is useless to say this now. The key is what information Jiao Si has provided.

"How did Jiao Si confirm that Gongzi Kun and Lu Hou were in contact?" Li Si pondered for a moment and spoke again.

"It is said that I saw the head guard of Gongzi Kun chatting with Lu Sheng, and then followed him and witnessed the secret meeting between Gongzi Kun and Lu Hou with his own eyes."

"Since he has already discovered the clue, why not report to His Majesty?"

Yao Jia shook his head: "He didn't care at that time, because Young Master Kun loved alchemy during that period. He thought Young Master Kun was asking Lu Sheng for the art of alchemy!"

"What's more, after the incident, His Majesty was furious and made people panic, and he did not dare to implicate this matter."

After hearing this, Li Si frowned and pondered: "In this way, the rebellion of Young Master Kun is not the empty wind!"

"Then do I want to report this to Your Majesty?"

Yao Jia looked at Li Si with inquiring eyes.

Li Si shook his head and sighed: "If it were earlier, it might have been useful, but it would have been useless now."

“Why?”

Yao Jia was a little puzzled.

Zhao Gao snorted coldly: "How could Your Majesty believe what a remnant of the Six Kingdoms said?"

When Yao Jia heard this, he seemed to have some insight, and then said, "What should we do next?"

Li Si thought for a while and said, "First follow this line and find the two of Lu Hou and the others!"

"It seems that's the only one."

Yao Jia nodded and replied, then fell silent in the secret room.

After a while, Xin Sheng suddenly spoke again: "Before I came, I also received a message."

"I thought it was insignificant, but now when I think about it, this matter is probably related to Gongzi Kun."

Li Si frowned and turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Zhang Dianzhuo from Pinyang County Prison is missing!"

"Um?"

Zhao Gao was puzzled: "What's the fuss about a small prison missing?"

"If it weren't for him, you would have died long ago." Xin Sheng glanced at Zhao Gao with an expressionless face and said heavily.
