Chapter 17 Cleaning up the courtroom
Zhao Gao showed no fear, stretched out his neck, raised his face to meet Ziying's sword blade, "This is the last ability of your Ying family!"
Ziying's sword stopped at the tip of Zhao Gao's nose. Zhao Gao closed his eyes tightly and waited for the end of his life.
After a long while, Zhao Gao opened his eyes and sneered, "Your Majesty, why are you reluctant to kill me? Or do you want to give me all the criminal laws of Great Qin?"
Ziying took a deep breath and backed away slowly. It would be too easy for Zhao Gao to die like this.
Ziying looked at Zhao Gao indifferently, "Fusu died because of the conspiracy of you and Hu Hai and his group. It is indeed a great misfortune in the world that your brother died at the hands of his younger brother. I also want you to feel it!"
Zhao Gao's eyes widened instantly, he knew what Ziying was thinking.
"Ziying! If you want to kill, be quick and don't hesitate! You don't miss your grandfather at all!" Zhao Gao roared.
Ziying smiled. He just wanted to see Zhao Gao in such a miserable state and die with pride? Impossible!
Ziying just wants to polish off all his pride and make him die like a reptile in humiliation.
In Zhao Gao's eyes, Ziying's image turned into that of Qin Shihuang back then, who was looking at him with a cold face and wanted to liquidate his various crimes!
"ah!"
Zhao Gao screamed and leaned back, biting his tongue fiercely, intending to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but his teeth had already been knocked out by Ziying.
Zhao Gao banged his head on the ground frantically, making his head dizzy and blood flowing.
Zhao Gao was in a dead end and was in terrible pain. Zhao Cheng kept looking at him coldly from the side without any sadness.
Ziying turned around and said to Zhao Cheng, "Don't worry, Aiqing, I won't involve you in what Zhao Gao does."
Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Ever since Zhao Cheng rushed into the formation with a halberd, Ziying planned to let Zhao Cheng go.
Ziying couldn't do such a thing as killing his savior, let alone Zhao Cheng who saved him twice.
As the younger brother of Zhao Gao, Ziying didn't want to know how many incidents Zhao Cheng had participated in. He did not stick to trivial matters when it came to big things, and there were many things that could be used for Zhao Cheng in the future.
"Get up." Ziying helped Zhao Cheng up with his own hands and shouted behind him, "Cao Wushang!"
Cao Wushang was dumbstruck, and shouted loudly like a thunderbolt. Since Ziying was pretending to be stupid, Ziying might have known about him being a spy and would come to settle the accounts with him.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Cao Wushang knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Spare your life? Is it possible that you, the king's minister in the world, came to spy on me for Zhao Gao? You should be punished for your crime!"
Cao Wushang crawled to Ziying's feet step by step, pulling on Ziying's skirt, "Your Majesty, these things are all caused by Prime Minister Zhao... no... Zhao Gao forced his slaves! Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Spare your life? You have to give me a reason, otherwise the ministers won't kill you, and I can't protect you." Ziying said, trying to catch you.
Cao Wushang thought desperately, "I have a reason. I know all the spies Zhao Gao has planted!"
Ziying frowned, "What? How could a young eunuch know all Zhao Gao's secrets?"
Ziying then thought about it, if Cao Wushang could go to Liu Bang's camp and get the position of Zuo Commander, he must have the ability, and maybe it's what Cao Wushang said.
"Okay, if you can reveal all the hidden clues, I will let go of the blame, but if one of you escapes, I will not take it easy!"
Cao Wushang and Zhao Cheng crossed the frantic Zhao Gao to the left and right and walked towards the court step by step.
"Kill me, kill me." Zhao Gao muttered.
Ziying deliberately did not take a car, and all the officials and guards who came to court along the way looked sideways.
How did the aloof Zhao Gao reach this point?
Why are there Zhao Cheng and a eunuch around?
And isn’t Ziying a foolish king? Why is there such a heroic spirit in his eyebrows?
Ziying walked straight up to the throne, lifted up the hem, sat on the dragon chair with her legs crossed, raised her chin, and said in a straight tone, "Go to court!"
All civil and military officials knelt down one after another. Ziying hated the ancient kneeling ceremony. At this moment, Ziying felt that he was worthy of so much kneeling.
"Everyone, please get up. My dear friends, look and see who that is?" Ziying lazily leaned on the dragon chair.
The civil and military officials in the court looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Ziying meant, and no one dared to speak to him.
After a long while, several old ministers said, "It's Zhao Gao, Prime Minister Zhao."
"No, no, no." Ziying shook his head, "He is the most traitorous official in our Great Qin, Zhao Gao!"
When the young officials heard Ziying's words, their faces instantly turned pale. They were single-handedly promoted by Zhao Gao. If Zhao Gao collapsed, they would definitely liquidate Ziying!
"Zhao Gao is full of evil, and today I will punish him together with all my dear friends." Ziying said. "Where is Yang Duan and the commander? Zhao Aiqing will take him back to the court as soon as possible."
Yang Duanhe was imprisoned for one night and did not know how he was tortured by people sent by Zhao Gao.
"No!" Zhao Cheng saluted and was about to walk out of the court.
The white-haired veterans had already guessed what was going on and stopped Zhao Cheng, "Your Majesty, Zhao Cheng is Zhao Gao's younger brother. We cannot let him leave for fear of future trouble!"
Ziying waved her hand without raising her eyes, "Let Zhao Aiqing pass! Don't say any more."
The veterans were worried, so several old men followed Zhao Cheng and left with him.
The country is in turmoil, and there are still veterans who are struggling to support it. Ziying is a little sad, but also a little happy.
"Alas! Zhao Gao sent troops to cause chaos last night, and I spent a lot of effort to solve it. I'm still a little tired this morning." Ziying stretched his waist and deliberately told Zhao Gao's henchmen.
thump!
Several young ministers knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have no idea what Zhao Gao has done!"
Ziying raised her eyelids lightly and said with a smile, "I haven't even been tortured yet, so why did you admit it? All the torture instruments in the prison are waiting for you."
What Ziying hates most is the traitorous officials and villains. Now that he is the King of Qin, he has great power and can kill him whenever he wants.
Secondly, Ziying faintly felt that there was a hostility in his body that did not belong to him. After last night's fight, Ziying was no longer a kind-hearted college student.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know."
"Yes, I don't know!"
Ziying leaned on the case with both arms and watched their performance quietly, "It's such a coincidence that you don't even know that Zhao Gao is colluding with the others."
All of them are harmless to humans and animals, and appear to be loyal. Ziying can't tell which ones are real and which ones are fake.
"I know you, and you gave me gold to promote you." Zhao Gao smiled foolishly, with drool at the corner of his mouth.
"Zhao Gao... don't talk nonsense... I never gave you anything..." the young minister pointed at Zhao Gao with trembling fingers.
Ziying smiled slightly, "No way? Prime Minister Zhao is very shrewd. How could he not know if he has received any money?"
