Chapter 1076 It's really an old fried dough stick
...
Regarding Zhao Gao, Chen Xu still felt the same as before, that is, no matter how he changed his time, some things that happened to Daqin and the emperor were still struggling and twisting towards the familiar history.
Because of his appearance, a large number of Fang Dao magicians raised by the emperor in the palace were expelled. Without various Fang Dao magicians, they refine alchemy and poison their bodies. The emperor's body looked pretty good and seemed to be able to live for many years, but the power of time and space was not completely lost. He used Zhao Gao, a person like a bug, to bring the Five Poisons Shuhun Water that appeared like a bug, into the palace and gave it to the emperor for use. In fact, the emperor has not escaped the death disaster at present. Maybe three years later, that is, at the same time in history, the First Emperor might still die, just like Tu Sui's death, and it will not change because of Chen Xu's appearance.
As the nine-year disaster that Guiguzi mentioned was getting closer and closer, Chen Xu was also feeling more and more distressed. He wanted to upgrade the musket into a rifle and a pistol as soon as possible, and even needed to create a simple flowering shell like a mortar. At the same time, he had to pull more people to tie him together.
There are tall men holding on to him when the sky falls. Now he is the tallest one in Daqin, but there are still a few people who are about the same height and they have to be tied together. If I am not good, don’t think about it. It is really good if everyone is not good.
Tell Meng Yi about Zhao Gao all about it, Meng Yi will naturally verify the identity of Miao Doctor. After all, there is a situation between Meng and Zhao Gao. Only Zhao Gao completely dies. Meng Yi can be completely relieved this time. What's more, what Hu Hai and Zhao Gao took away from Zhao's mansion made Meng Yi very suspicious. If Zhao Gao and Hu Hai colluded to poison the emperor and then wanted to usurp the throne, Meng Yi, as the emperor's most loyal dog, could not ignore it, and he would inevitably find out the truth.
As for how Chen Xu knew such detailed inside information, Meng Yi would not ask, everyone has their own secrets. In this strange court, no one will expose all their secrets, including himself.
Even this matter should be carefully avoided from getting involved with Chen Xu, and the matter of the Five Poisons Shuhun Water cannot be exposed. Otherwise, once there is a conflict between the emperor and the Hou of Qinghe, according to Chen Xu's identity in the court and the influence of the people, the Qin Dynasty will instantly fall into extreme chaos.
Although the emperor is the emperor and controls everything in the Qin Dynasty, as Chen Xu himself said, he is not a statue of god. No one knows that Chen Xu has any unknown secrets in his hand, even more terrifying immortal spells than Taiyi Divine Thunder, if released during court...
Meng Yiqing, who was sitting in the carriage and preparing to go home, couldn't help but tremble.
It seems that in the future, you must stay away from your cheap son-in-law when you go to court.
"Go to the Lieutenant's Mansion!" After walking halfway, Meng Yi, who was thinking about it, patted the window of the car, so he turned the car and headed towards the Lieutenant's Mansion under the escort of a group of guards.
Today, Chen Xu told him and Pan the secrets of Zhao Gao and Wu Du Shuhunshui, not to show kindness to him, but to remind him that the emperor may have an unexpected accident, and that someone must prepare in advance to usurp the throne. Otherwise, once the emperor really waits until the emperor suddenly dies, the entire court will inevitably be in chaos, especially when the prince has not been established yet, how can the Montessus be invincible?
Although the sky is gradually getting dark, the streets are still crowded with people, and the lanterns of the gardens and shops are lit one after another, and the bustling urban nightlife is about to begin.
Because of the fire and the inexplicable disappearance of Doctor Miao, Lu Xiao, who had been busy for several days and had almost no good eyes, finally breathed a sigh of relief today. He was busy until Shen Shizhong and arranged all the work tasks tomorrow. He was tired and prepared to go back to the house to rest. But just as he was halfway through, he was called back by the imperial guards on duty, because the censor Meng Yi suddenly visited the Lieutenant's Mansion.
"Mr. Meng, what are the instructions for coming to the Lieutenant's Mansion so late?" Lu Xiao rushed back to the Lieutenant's Mansion's Office in a hurry and saw that Meng Yi was already sitting in the lobby waiting.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant Lu. Today I heard that the murderer who killed the imperial physician Yin Buxin has been found. I felt something strange about it, so I came over and asked, and by the way, who is the murderer?" Meng Yi stood up and said.
"Why did Lord Meng come here in person? The murderer is just a beggar. He hides in Zhao's mansion on nights, but he doesn't know why Doctor Miao suddenly wants to go to Zhao's mansion at night. Because Doctor Miao is wearing a mask and is dressed in a special outfit, the beggar said that he thought it was a ghost in the moonlight. In fear, he took out his short blade and killed him. As a result, he found that it was not a ghost. He was afraid of being discovered. So he cut off his head and threw it into a fire, and took the body away and threw it into the pond near a nearby foot stall. As a result, the fire was caused by the high and high winds in autumn..."
Lu Xiao carefully explained the interrogation situation, and finally clasped his fists with a bitter face and said, "Meng, this matter is a misunderstanding. The only thing is that Doctor Miao secretly left the palace and entered the Zhao Mansion in the middle of the night. Otherwise, so many things would have happened. This guy deserves to die. He knew that Zhao Gao's house was haunted, but he was in another terrifying outfit. If he met him on the road in the middle of the night, he would definitely cut him to death with one knife..."
"Well, it seems that it is indeed a misunderstanding. Doctor Miao died without any wrongdoing, but my Qin law is strict. Those who kill and injured must be punished strictly in accordance with the Qin law. The Japanese official came here just to find out the details. If His Majesty asks about it tomorrow, I would be a little mentally prepared, and at the same time, the government offices would not be able to deal with this matter quickly!"
"Yes, Lord Meng said!" The sweat on Lu Xiao's forehead came out.
Meng Yi was in charge of the supervisory officials. All the civil and military officials in the court and the officials in the world were under his surveillance. This kind of thing has been done since ancient times. No one is completely clean when he became an official. A few days ago, Lu Xiao had released all the suspects except Li Gui. According to the process, these suspects should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for review. However, since Lu Xiao has been released, the Ministry of Justice will not deliberately make things difficult for investigation. After all, the real murderer who killed and set fire has been surrendered. There is no need to cause trouble. Xianyang has been in chaos during this period.
Moreover, according to Lu Xiao's idea, the beggar who killed Doctor Miao should cut the mess quickly and cut it off with one knife. The interrogation process is redundant. After all, he has admitted to killing people, and he is the emperor's most valued imperial doctor, so he can't redeem it.
More than ten minutes later, under Lu Xiao's personal leadership, Meng Yi saw a beggar sleeping in the dark and damp lieutenant's mansion with hair curled up in the moldy pile of millet. The stench filled the cell, and Meng Yi almost couldn't open his eyes.
"Get up!" A prison guard stepped forward and kicked Li Gui a few times.
"You all go out first. No one is allowed to come in without the instructions of my official!" Meng Yi turned around and told him sternly.
"Here~" Lu Xiao and a group of prison guards and inmates all bowed and left, and the cell became quiet in an instant.
"Li Gui, do you know me?" Meng Yi looked down at Li Gui who was sitting up slowly.
"You are the Censor-in-Chief Meng!" Li Gui nodded slowly after being stunned for a long time, his voice was extremely calm, and no emotion could be seen on his face covered by dirty hair.
"Yes, it seems that Qinghehou did not guess your identity wrong. Tell me, is the Miao Doctor you killed Zhao Gao?"
"yes!"
"Tell me everything you know about Zhao Gao!" Meng Yi squatted down slowly.
Half an hour later, Meng Yi left the prison with a strange expression.
Li Gui's statement is no different from what Chen Xu said at the dinner table, and the process needs to be more detailed. In particular, Li Si's reaction after learning about Zhao Gao's whereabouts and the letters to Zhao Gao later were detailed. Although Li Gui didn't know what agreement reached between Li Si and Zhao Gao, Li Si must have impure motivation and wanted to hold Zhao Gao's handle in his hands. Meng Yi could probably guess the purpose, that is, he wanted Zhao Gao to act as an insider in the palace to gain more initiative in the future in the establishment of the crown prince, so as to fight against Chen Xu, who is increasingly powerful...
Meng Yi repeatedly thought about Li Gui and Zhao Gao, and he kept recalling what Chen Xu said in his mind until he got home.
"How do he think of me to deal with Li Gui?" Sitting in the study, Meng Yi sat there for a long time, then wrote a letter and asked his servant to send it to the Ministry of Justice to Yin Wufu.
In just two minutes, the mansion house was near the Ministry of Justice, and ordered Yin Wu to come hurriedly in casual clothes. He muttered and discussed with Meng Yi in the study for about a moment before leaving.
The next morning, all officials went to court, and in the court, Lu Xiao submitted the result of the interrogation of the beggar to the First Emperor. Qin Shihuang handed the matter over to the Ministry of Justice for handling. The Ministry of Justice ordered Yin Wu to judge that the beggar was frightened and accidentally killed the imperial physician Yin Buxin. According to the Qin Dynasty's law, he could be given a lighter sentence. Moreover, Yin Buxin secretly left the palace late at night and violated the prohibition of palace laws and regulations. He was also inevitably guilty. However, since Yin Buxin was already dead and was exempted from criminal responsibility, and the beggar, who was a three-no-person, could not escape the crime of death. He set fire to seven houses and was sentenced to be cut off a finger, and a hundred sticks were used as a work slave to work in the experimental factory.
The verdict from the Ministry of Justice was recognized by the emperor, and the matter finally came to a perfect end.
All civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.
