Xia Manor.
Xia Wuqi walked out of the Xia Mansion. The streets outside the Xia Mansion were deserted. It was obvious that what happened last night was too shocking and left people panicking.
"Someone come! Drive the carriage to the Supreme Court!"
Xia Wuqie called his servants before boarding the carriage and heading straight for the Supreme Court.
……
Outside the Supreme Court.
Zhao Gao, the magistrate of Zhongche Mansion, was hesitating outside the Supreme Court. He had come here last night and wanted to inquire about it in the Supreme Court; however, he was stopped by a soldier.
"Lord justice has already gone to bed.”
After Zhao Gao was stopped by the soldiers, he thought,""This Marquis Champion sure is ambitious. He can still sleep even after making such a big deal out of it!”
Yesterday, after Zhao Gao was stopped, he had to leave the Supreme Court and return to Zhongche Prefecture. He then mobilized his subordinates to investigate what happened in Xianyang City. If His Majesty asked him about it, he had to tell the whole story in case of being qualified for the official position of Zhongche Prefecture.
Early morning.
Zhao Gao arrived outside the Supreme Court early in the morning, where tens of thousands of armored soldiers and over 100 chariots were stationed. Besides cavalries of Great Qin, there were also archers and shield-bearers of Great Qin. They looked really terrifying!
These soldiers were the most elite soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, the Qin soldiers of Guanzhong.
These Qin soldiers were known by the people of the six states as the army of tigers and wolves!
As these fierce soldiers were the elites among the elites, they were called as " Meng Army!
When Zhao Gao was considering whether to enter the Supreme Court or not, a carriage approached him from afar. At the sight of the person in the carriage, Zhao Gao's eyes lit up.
There was a turn of events!
The person on the carriage was the Great Qin's imperial court pharmacist, Xia Wuqi.
Zhao Mu's grandfather.
Xia Wuqi had a good reputation in the court.
……
Xia Wuqi's carriage stopped outside the Supreme Court.
At the sight of the soldiers and horses of Great Qin outside the Supreme Court, Xia Wuqie shuddered. He realized that the situation was more dangerous than he had imagined.
After he got off the carriage, Zhao Gao walked to the front of the carriage. Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said,"Doctor Xia!"
"Lord Prefect!" Xia Wuqi hurriedly bowed.
Zhao Gao's official position was not high, but he had a lot of power.
"Doctor Xia, you know about what happened last night?”Zhao Gao asked.
Xia Wuqi nodded," I've just learned about it. Aren't we rushing to the Supreme Court?"”
"Physician Xia came at the right time, let's go together.”
Previously, Zhao Gao was hesitant about how to enter the Supreme Court. Now that Xia Wuqie arrived, everything was solved. As the maternal grandfather of Marquis Champion, Xia Wuqie's status was much different than that of the others.
Zhao Gao and Meng Yi were at odds.
When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Zhao Gao was once thrown into prison by Meng Yi and was almost beheaded.
If the First Emperor hadn't saved Zhao Gao's life, he would have turned into a skeleton long ago.
Towards the Meng brothers, Zhao Gao felt both hatred and fear.
"Alright, then let's go together with Lord Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate!”
Xia Wuqi and Zhao Gao stood outside the Supreme Court as they let the soldiers in to report.
In the Supreme Court, Xiao He was settling a case while Zhao Mu was considering how to report this event to the First Emperor.
Meng Yi fell into a state of shock, unable to extricate himself!
He suddenly realized that Xiao He had a shocking talent!
Not only was the case closed, but the entire matter was controlled by Xiao He from the beginning to the end. It could be said that every step and calculation did not escape Xiao He's control.
Meng Yi was ashamed of his inferior ability to strategize.
Under Xiao He's plan, the internal historian of the grain and the Guanzhong clan had surrendered. Before they could figure out the situation of their opponents, they had already been completely wiped out!
One strike to subdue the enemy, no mistakes!
Who knew how the Marquis Champion managed to get such a powerful strategist like Xiao He!
Meng Yi did not know that Zhao Mu and Xiao He were not only the lord and advisor, but also confidants. Once in Pei County, Zhao Mu and Xiao He had made a grand promise: " When the wind blows, the clouds will fly, and the sea will return to its hometown!"
From the moment Zhao Mu and Xiao He stepped out of Pei County and entered Xianyang, the two of them had already tied their fate and honor together!
For the dream in his heart, spread his wings!
Xiao He had great ambitions!
Even ants had the ambition to devour the heavens!
The wind blows, the clouds fly!
The power of heaven and earth, oh, return to your hometown!
Although Chen Gongjin was also sitting in the main hall, his face was ashen. The more cases he tried, the more terrified he became. It was as if he had fallen into hell and could no longer climb up.
At this moment, an armored soldier entered the main hall of the Supreme Court and reported,"Lord justice, Zhao Gao, the magistrate of Zhongche Mansion and Xia Wuqi, the imperial pharmacist, are seeking an audience outside the palace!”
"Please enter the hall!"
"Here!"
After that, he walked out of the Supreme Court with the saber-armored soldiers.
Chen Gongjin's eyes lit up. It was as if he had heard the sound of nature.
Zhao Gao was here!
Xia Wuqie was here!
They must have brought good news and come to stop the Marquis Champion from investigating the case!
Chen Gongjin's heart lit up with hope again.
……
Outside the Supreme Court.
The armored soldiers who had entered the reporting hall walked out of the Supreme Court. The armored soldiers of Great Qin who were guarding the Supreme Court made way for Zhao Gao and Xia Wuqi.
The Great Qin's armored soldiers were incredibly powerful, and even though they were just walking past the Great Qin's armored soldiers, they felt immense pressure, making it difficult for them to breathe!
At the sight of Xia Wuqie, Zhao Mu stood up and walked out. After Xia Wuqie and Zhao Gao entered the palace of the Supreme Court, they cupped their hands and bowed,""Lord justice, lord minister!”
Zhao Mu quickly supported Xia Wuqi and said,""Grandfather, why are you here?"
"Doctor Xia…"
Meng Yi also walked up to Xia Wuqi and bowed.
A Great Official was an official title, but his official position was low and far from being comparable to a High Official.
There was only one reason why Meng Yi respected Xia Wuhe so much--he was the maternal grandfather of the Marquis Champion, Zhao Mu, the dean of the nine ministers of the Supreme Court!
When Zhao Gao saw Meng Yi and Zhao Mu, he bowed to the ground and said humbly,""Zhao Gao greets the chief justice and the minister.”
Zhao Gao's expression was extremely humble, and his face was full of smiles and piety.
The more Zhao Gao hated Meng Yi, the more respectful he was to him.
If Zhao Gao was extremely lowly in front of anyone, then his hatred for that person had reached an extreme!
Zhao Gao!
The youth entered the palace with nothing despite his lowly background!
When he was young, he had been humiliated and bullied.
He wanted to be above everyone else. He endured it and walked up step by step!
I want to take it step by step, step by step, to reach the highest point. I want to be Zhao Gao!!
He didn't want to be bullied again!
Zhao Gao was better at hiding himself than anyone else because he could better protect himself by hiding under a disguise.
Chen Gongjin, the internal historian of the grain, saw how respectful Zhao Mu was to Xia Wuqi. He instantly stood up and threw himself in front of Xia Wuqi. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed."Doctor Xia, help! Doctor Xia! Help!"
Chen Gongjin knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. His face was filled with tears, as if he had been wronged.
When he saw Xia Wuqie at this moment, it was as if he had seen his savior!
"Finance Minister, please get up quickly. You're killing me, you're killing me too much!”
When Xia Wuqie saw one of the nine ministers kneeling in front of him, he was greatly shocked.
One of the three dukes and nine ministers, the internal history of managing grain!
Thirteen of the most powerful people in the world had actually kowtowed in front of a small apothecary like him, begging him to save his life. How could he not be affected?
This was the Great Qin Empire's finance minister, who was in charge of the world's money and food.
"Milord, please stand up quickly. This old man can't bear it.”Xia Wuqie helped Chen Gongjin up. He saw the internal history of managing grain that he had never seen in his life.
In the past, the nine ministers and finance ministers were high above and could only be looked up to.
Today, the finance minister's face was covered in tears, his expression was filled with fear, and his eyes were filled with begging.
Internal Secretary Zhi Su got up and was helped up by Xia Wuqi. Chen Gongjin begged again,""Doctor Xia, we've been in the same palace for 20 years. Please save my life for the sake of our relationship.”
Hearing Chen Gongjin's words, Xia Wuqi turned to look at Zhao Mu...
At this moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings!
