Taking advantage of his position, he secretly sold salt, iron and other items prohibited by the empire.

And use water consumption money to steal food and wages...

"Your Highness, this Wu Gou obviously wants to die and take all the crimes on himself."

Li Si frowned and said in a deep voice.

When Ying Ziye heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "In this way, Wu Gou's death will naturally not threaten the entire Wu family or even the Guanzhong clan!"

"Thinking about it, he must have met someone last night and said something to him!"

"This is why I choose to die, and die without any evidence!"

Li Si nodded in agreement and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, once Wu Gou dies, all the clues have obviously been lost!"

"I'm afraid it will be a little difficult if we continue to investigate this matter."

Ying Ziye smiled, stood up slowly and said, "Don't worry, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge!"

"Let's go to court first and have a look!"

"Here!"

…

An hour later!

Xianyang Palace!

In the early morning, the First Emperor ascended the throne and sat on a high platform.

All civil and military officials gathered together to report on state affairs one by one.

On the high platform, the First Emperor sat upright on the dragon chair, calm and powerful.

It’s time for Lisi!

Li Sizheng was about to leave the court, preparing to report Wu Gou's incident to the First Emperor.

"His Majesty!"

It's time!

A voice sounded.

Without waiting for Li Si to report the matter, Wu Su took the lead to walk out of the courtroom and knelt down in the main hall.

"Wei Chen Wu Su apologized to His Majesty the First Emperor, and only then did he learn about Wu Gou's mistakes. Wei Chen failed to control his second brother Wu Gou, and allowed him to commit various evil deeds, committing a capital crime in the Qin Empire!"

"According to the investigation of Weichen, my second brother ran a shop, sold private salt and iron, and even forcibly embezzled the land of the people of the Qin Empire. The mistakes he made were extremely heinous!"

"On behalf of the entire family, I am willing to accept His Majesty's punishment, and will do everything possible to find out Wu Gou's corrupt money and make up for the interests of the country that he has embezzled!"

Wu Su burst into tears and his righteousness was overwhelming.

It seemed that he was really ignorant, felt ashamed for Wu Gou, and grieved for the damage to the interests of the Qin Empire.

However, smart people and insiders can see that Wu Su is nothing more than a trick.

Once something is exposed, there is no way to hide it.

When it’s time to break, it’s time to break!

"snort!"

"Wu Su, you..."

Li Si's tone was slightly angry, and he was about to defend Wu Su.

But before Li Si finished speaking, Ying Ziye reached out and grabbed him, shook his head, and said calmly: "The head of the Wu family has a heart of repentance, and the criminal has been executed."

"What's more, all the Guanzhong clans have made contributions to the Qin Empire. I sincerely ask my father to give me a lighter sentence!"

After saying that, Ying Ziye raised his hands towards the high platform.

"What!"

All the officials in the court were shocked.

Li Si and Wu Su were even more puzzled!

The First Emperor looked down at the civil and military officials under the high platform and looked at Ying Ziye, also a little surprised.

A little bit!

The First Emperor looked calm and calm, and shouted in a deep voice: "Since the criminal has been punished, I will no longer pursue this matter!"

"What's more, what Ye'er said is quite reasonable!"

"But! The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Wu Su is ordered to be suspended for three months to repent!"

"Half a year's salary penalty!"

The words echoed heavily in the hall.

All the officials looked surprised!

When did His Majesty the First Emperor become so easy to talk to?

The three-month lockdown is better said to be resting at home.

As for the half-year salary penalty, it is even more of a joke.

How many officials live on their salaries? As long as they are nobles with military merit, they will have land rewarded by their families.

The same is true for ministers and officials. Although they do not have titles, they still have the means to acquire thousands of acres of fertile land...

On the other hand, Wu Su cried even more fiercely, kowtowed and said, "I am ashamed of my kindness to Your Majesty!"
