High Official Meng Yi walked into the hall in his silver helmet and shining armor.
When Xiao He was investigating the case of Commandant Zhi Su, Zhao Mu visited Meng Yi.
In the Great Qin Empire, if there were two people worth trusting, the first was Meng Tian, and the second was Meng Yi.
In Meng Yi's High Official Residence, Zhao Mu revealed his determination to destroy both jade and stone.
Regardless of whether he succeeded or failed this time, Zhao Mu's Qin Calming Sword had to slash down.
If I couldn't even clear the case of the Supreme Court, how could I be the dean of the Supreme Court?
Perhaps I, Zhao Mu, will end up even worse than Duke Huang Shi.
Duke Huang Shi left Xianyang with his official seal, but Zhao Mu couldn't leave. He still had the task of unifying the languages of the six countries and conquering the hearts of the people.
If they couldn't even figure out the affairs of the Supreme Court, how could they conquer the hearts of the commoners of the six dynasties?
Wouldn't the bragging in the Great Hall of Xianyang be a slap in the face?
When the time comes, I won't be able to face the emperor. I'll draw my sword and commit suicide to apologize!
……
Three days ago.
Zhao Mu handed over the crimes of Chen Gongjin, the internal history of managing grain, to Meng Yi to check.
After Meng Yi checked Chen Gongjin's crimes, he was furious!
"The Great Qin Empire has such a scum. It really deserves to be killed!”
Meng Yi decided to help Zhao Mu. Meng Yi asked Zhao Mu what he needed to do.
"Lend me 30,000 soldiers. I want to start a wildfire!" Zhao Mu said to Meng Yi.”
"Good! When are you going to use it?"
"Three days later!"
"Three days later, I will gather thirty thousand soldiers for the Marquis Champion to command!”
Meng Yi slammed the table and stood up, high-fiving Zhao Mu and swearing an oath of alliance!
Three days later, Xiao He had investigated all 103 unjust cases. The evidence was conclusive. Meng Yi led 30,000 Meng family soldiers and arrived!
……
Zhao Mu rode on a fine horse and carried the Qin Stabilizing Sword as he headed straight for the residence of the internal historian.
"Xiao He!"
"I'm here! "You and the minister will lead the troops to capture the people on the list. Tonight, you must capture all the people on the list. No one can escape. We must prevent these people from killing others in desperation!”
"Here!"
"Brother, I will never forget your help today!" Zhao Mu looked at Meng Yi and cupped his hands.”
" Of course, I will do my best to help you," Meng Yi replied with a smile.”
……
Outside the office of the internal history.
"Who are you?"
The servants of the Internal Affairs Office were terrified when they saw the arrival of the soldiers.
Zhao Mu waved his hand condescendingly.”
Zhao Mu couldn't be bothered with these servants and directly gave the order to arrest them!
The internal historian's residence was in chaos. Many soldiers broke into the residence and captured all the servants and family members.
Chen Gongjin had just fallen asleep when the sound of weapons rang out. He woke up from his sleep!
"What is it?"
"What happened?"
Bang!
The door was kicked down, and soldiers with long spears entered the house and captured Chen Gongjin, the internal history of the grain!
Chen Gongjin was escorted into the courtyard and was surprised to see Zhao Mu riding on a horse, holding the Qin Sword in his hand.
"Marquis Champion, what are you doing? Are you rebelling?"
"Lord Chen, I have something to do. I would like to invite Lord Chen to the Supreme Court!”
"Lord justice, what are you talking about? As ministers of the same palace, we could negotiate with each other.”
Chen Gongjin's tone softened when he saw Zhao Mu's cold expression. Although he was not sure why Zhao Mu had mobilized so many people to come, he could guess that this matter must be no small matter!
Could it be that His Majesty knew about the drunken words at the banquet?
A chill ran down Chen Gongjin's spine. If His Majesty found out about the First Emperor, he would definitely die!
"Take him away!"
Zhao Mu ordered.
All the servants and family members of the internal historian were captured and sent to the Supreme Court!
……
When Zhao Mu captured Chen Gongjin, the internal history of the government, the entire Guanzhong was caught.
High Official Meng Yi cooperated with Xiao He to arrest the people according to the list. There were 103 cases, including major cases, minor cases, theft cases, and murder cases.
Xiao He followed Zhao Mu's instructions and arrested all of them. After the trial, they were sentenced according to the law. They were beheaded and imprisoned! He would not give them the chance to beg for help!
Just as Zhao Mu had said, a wildfire had set the entire pass ablaze!
Many people were still sleeping, and the search that shocked the entire Xianyang was still going on.
……
Zhao Gao was awakened from his sleep.
"Lord Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate, something bad has happened. The Marquis Champion and Meng Yi are arresting people on a large scale. They have already arrested more than a thousand people.”
"What is it? Chen Gongjin was arrested?"
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhao Gao quickly got out of bed. He had received the imperial edict from the First Emperor to arrest Chen Gongjin. However, he had not made a move yet because he still had to wait for the other high-ranking officials to plead for mercy. If Wang Wan and Feng Quji pleaded for Chen Gongjin and the First Emperor forgave the internal historian, he could also do the internal historian a favor.
After Zhao Mu changed into the official uniform of the Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate, he quickly ran out of the mansion. As he ran, he turned around and asked,"What exactly happened? Why was the Marquis Champion arresting them?”
"Lord, we don't know why Lord of Provincial Court arrested so many people. It's simply terrifying!"
Zhao Gao realized the seriousness of the situation and considered entering the palace to meet the Emperor. However, he changed his mind. If the Emperor asked him why, how would he answer?
When Zhao Gao thought about this, he ordered someone to drive towards the Supreme Court!
……
Li Si's residence.
Li Si was reading through the memorials from various places when a servant entered the house and reported,""Prime Minister, Zhao Mu, the dean of the supreme court, and Meng Yi, the minister of justice, are capturing the clans in Guanzhong Province and mobilizing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses…"
"Meng Yi mobilized his troops? Do you have His Majesty's Tiger Tally?"
"Reporting to Prime Minister, I'm not sure!"
Li Si put down the bamboo scroll in his hand and frowned.
"Are there any high-ranking officials in the court among these people?”
"Reporting to Prime Minister, Chen Gongjin, the internal historian of the Nine Ministers, has been captured. All the servants and family members in the residence have been captured!”
Chen Gongjin?
Li Si suddenly stood up.
Imperial Censor Wang Wan and Minister Chen Gongjin were the two major clans in Guanzhong, and they controlled the taxes and money of Guanzhong. In all the wars of the Great Qin Empire, it was the Minister who raised the grain.
Zhao Mu actually used Zhi Su's internal history to establish his prestige!
This courage was truly astonishing!
Li Si thought that the wildfire was Zhao Mu's way of establishing his authority. In reality, the capture today was only the first step for Zhao Mu to take over the Great Qin Empire!
In Zhao Mu's eyes, the Great Qin Empire would be in his hands sooner or later!
……
Xianyang Palace!
Imperial Censor Wang Wan was kneeling on the ground while the First Emperor was reprimanding him.
"Wang Wan, Wang Wan, as an Imperial Censor, do you gather a bunch of idle people all day long to eat, drink, and have fun?”
"Your Majesty!" Wang Wan was so frightened that her entire body trembled. I dare not! I dare not! I know my mistake, I deserve to die!"
"Wang Wan, Wang Wan, you are also an old minister by this one's side. Don't make this one do something difficult!”
Ying Zheng's words were harsh, and Wang Wan immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that His Majesty had already decided to kill him this time. His Majesty had already issued a decree to behead Commandant Chen Gongjin...
Please don't implicate me!
Wang Wan kept praying in her heart!
At this moment, a general of the imperial guards entered the hall and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, something big has happened in Guanzhong!”
When Wang Wan heard this, her legs went limp and she collapsed onto the ground!
Although he did not know what had happened, his premonition told him that something bad was going to happen!
