Seeing Zhao Jin, Zhao Qian had a smile on his face, "Here you come? Get up."
Zhao Jin stood up calmly. Su Qing was about to stand up with him, but suddenly she heard Zhao Qian snorted coldly, "Did I ask you to stand up?"
Su Qing was so frightened that she knelt down again.
At this moment, only Su Qing and Yi Jin were kneeling in the Imperial Study Room.
"Zhao Jin." Zhao Qian's tone softened a lot, "The Minister of the Ministry of War said that you discovered this matter. Can you tell me what happened?"
Zhao Jin bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Su accidentally gave me a military register yesterday. I thought I was going to the military camp in the west of the city to verify the number of soldiers."
"So I brought a chief and more than a dozen minor officials."
Zhao Jin's tone became much more serious in vain, "But after arriving at the military camp in the west of the city, I found that something was not right."
"...General Yi took another roster to me, which is the list of soldiers who died in battle, and asked me to add these people to the military register."
When Yi Jin heard this, he completely understood.
Zhao Jin did not accept Su Qing's instructions yesterday. He was deceiving himself the whole time!
Yi Jin was suddenly shocked and angry! His Majesty was watching from above, so he didn't dare to do anything else.
Zhao Jin didn't even look at Yi Jin from the corner of his eye. He continued: "Later, just in case, I asked the principal and more than a dozen minor officials to hide in my mansion for the time being."
"When I returned to the Ministry of War, I found that Mr. Su was looking through my desk. When he saw me, he questioned me about my military register, and then threatened me."
"Marquis Xuanping, please don't spit on anyone!" Su Qing immediately shouted loudly.
"Shut up!"
When Zhao Qian heard what Zhao Jin said, his face was already livid. Seeing that Su Qing dared to be so presumptuous in front of him, he became even more angry.
"I'm scared." Su Qing quickly lowered his head and apologized.
Zhao Jin looked sideways at Su Qing and said, "Mr. Su, that military register is not a military register that you have to hand over, right?"
Su Qing's face turned pale instantly.
"There are two private seals on that military register, one is General Yi's private seal, and the other..."
"Although it is not Mr. Su's name above, but..." Zhao Jin saw Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief because of the first half of his sentence, raised his eyebrows and said: "However, I asked Mr. Shangshu and learned that this is Mr. Su. His nickname."
"It's just that fewer people know about it."
After saying this, Zhao Jin took out two brochures from his arms and presented them to Zhao Qian.
Zhao Qian took it and took a look, it was indeed as Zhao Jin said.
He looked at the Minister of War, who nodded and confirmed what Zhao Jin had just said.
"What else do you have to say?" Zhao Qian threw the two booklets directly on the Long Case and said angrily.
Su Qing and Yi Jin were speechless.
With all the witnesses and physical evidence, what else can they say?
Zhao Jin stood aside and listened to Zhao Qian's attack on the two of them.
"Qing of Dali Temple."
"Your Majesty is here!" the Dali Temple Minister responded quickly. At this moment, he was already horrified.
If it is said that Marquis Xuanping discovered this matter, then why did His Royal Highness assassinate Marquis Xuanping? Is it related to this matter? However, this is related to military pay and armaments...
"According to the laws of Zhao State, how should we deal with them?"
The minister of Dali Temple pondered for a while and then responded: "All the men of the three tribes should be executed, and the old, young, women and children should be sent to the border."
"Your Majesty!" Su Qing raised her head in panic and crawled forward two steps, "Your Majesty, this was all committed by me alone. They, they don't know about this. Please let them go!"
Su Qing kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, as did Yi Jin beside him.
Zhao Jin watched from the side. Although he felt sorry for their families, he had no intention of interceding for them.
The law at this time is like this. Not to mention whether it is useful to be soft-hearted and to beg for mercy, it will make people think that he is too weak.
Furthermore, when they did this, didn’t they know that they would end up like this once they were discovered?
In the final analysis, it's just greed.
Zhao Qian was unmoved by the two's begging for mercy and asked coldly: "Who instigated you to do this?"
After hearing this, the minister of Dali Temple couldn't help but lower his head even lower.
Su Qing and Yi Jin looked at each other, and both of them stopped talking for a moment.
"Your Majesty!" Su Qing gritted his teeth, "This matter is caused by the greed of the two of us and we want to seize their military pay. There is no one behind it."
Yi Jin also kowtowed violently, "I know I was wrong! But this matter was indeed done by the two of us, and I don't want to involve others!"
Not to mention Zhao Qian, Zhao Jin couldn't help but frowned. He stood up and said: "If you say that it was only you two who did it, then why did Mr. Su threaten me yesterday and say that the person behind the scenes is someone I can't afford to offend?"
"Moreover, when I returned to the Marquis Mansion last night, the dead soldiers I encountered were also raised by Mr. Su and General Yi?"
Death warrior?!
Zhao Qian stood up suddenly, crossed the table, lowered his head and approached Su Qing, "What kind of dead man?"
Su Qing's backs were completely soaked with cold sweat. He shook his head, "I, I don't know what Marquis Xuan Ping said. I didn't threaten Marquis Xuan Ping yesterday."
"Your Majesty!" Su Qing shouted sadly: "Why bother to incriminate someone? Marquis Xuanping is a first-grade marquis, and I am only a third-grade minister. How dare you threaten a marquis?"
Zhao Jin chuckled lightly and looked at the Minister of Dali Temple, "What about the dead soldiers? I have handed over the only two survivors yesterday to the Minister of Dali Temple."
The eyes of Su Qing and others immediately fell on the Minister of Dali Temple.
The other party's hand hidden under his broad sleeves trembled, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, Marquis Xuanping did send two people over yesterday, but Marquis Xuanping Xu misunderstood, and they are not dead soldiers."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin opened his eyes slightly, "Not a dead soldier?"
"Exactly." The minister of Dali Temple did not dare to look at Zhao Jin, but said to Zhao Qian: "They are all people from the world. Maybe the Marquis doesn't remember it. He accidentally formed a grudge against them on the way. That one came out last night.”
Zhao Jin's eyes had become cold and sharp, "Oh, according to what the Minister of Dali Temple said, the poison I took from their mouths last night was also fake?"
"Well, I wonder where the poison is now?" The Dali Temple Minister turned his head slightly and said to Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin touched his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and after a moment of silence he said, "I threw him away."
"Marquis Xuanping, don't make false claims without evidence!" Su Qing immediately shouted loudly.
The Minister of Dali Temple also took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Zhao Qian, "Your Majesty, this is the news that I found out overnight."
Zhao Qian took the paper, but did not read it immediately. Instead, he frowned and looked at Zhao Jin, "Are you injured?"
"Yesterday you should have pressed the person directly into the palace and handed him over to me."
Zhao Qian's somewhat reproachful words shocked everyone present.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually values Marquis Xuanping so much?
