Zhao Gao stood outside the Heaven Prison, panting.
He had run all the way from the Qin Imperial Palace and did not ask anyone to carry the sedan chair.
If Bai Yu were to suffer any torture due to the delay, even he would be punished by the First Emperor!
"Open the door!"
Zhao Gao calmed his breathing and said to the soldiers guarding the imperial prison.
"Lord Zhao!"
The soldier hurriedly bowed when he saw Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao was the favorite of the First Emperor, and his official position was not small.
"Cut the crap and open the door!"
Zhao Gao didn't have time to care about these people.
"Yes."
The soldier hurriedly replied when he saw Zhao Gao's expression.
Zhao Gao opened the door and walked in.
"Lord Zhao, why did you come to the imperial prison today?”
The warden quickly greeted Zhao Gao when he saw him.
"Where are the people we caught today?" asked Zhao Gao.”
"Lord Zhao is right…"
The warden was stunned. There were people being arrested every day in this prison, especially after the first emperor ordered the arrest of the remnants of the six countries. If they were not to be executed tomorrow, the prison would not be able to accommodate so many people!
"Bai Yu and that girl called Qiao 'er," Zhao Gao said lightly.”
"Lord Zhao, are you talking about that Han noble?!”
After hearing Zhao Gao's words, the warden thought for a moment and said,
"Take me to him," Zhao Gao said in a deep voice.”
"This…"
When the warden saw Zhao Gao's expression, he instantly thought of many things.
"Could it be that Bai Yu knows a certain lord?!”
Qin Shi Huang unified the six states. As for the useful civil officials in the six states, Qin Shi Huang did not execute them. Instead, he left them behind to deal with some matters.
Among these civil officials, there were also Han people. According to the warden's thoughts, Bai Yu probably had some relationship with the civil officials, so he specially asked Zhao Gao to deal with him.
To put it bluntly, it was inevitable to suffer physical pain in the imperial prison and spend the last night before being executed.
"Didn't you hear what I said?!”
Zhao Gao looked at the warden who was stunned on the spot and frowned. His expression was a little ugly.
"Lord Zhao, please."
The warden came back to his senses and quickly brought Zhao Gao to the cell where White Feather was locked up.
…………
On the other side, the four jailers who were about to attack White Feather suddenly heard the warden's voice.
The four jailers looked at each other and stopped what they were doing.
"I didn't expect you to be a remnant of a fallen country with some connections.”
The jailer looked at White Feather and said indifferently. Clearly, this was not the first time such a situation had occurred.
White Feather looked at the four jailers with a gloomy expression.
"What are you looking at?" Another jailer said fiercely. Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you have some connections!”
"Lord Zhao."
At this time, the warden had already brought Zhao Gao to the cell not far from where White Feather was imprisoned.
When Zhao Gao saw that there were no wounds on Bai Yu's body, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not tortured. Otherwise, the consequences of the First Emperor's anger would be unimaginable.
However, Zhao Gao's expression quickly darkened.
Because Zhao Gao saw the four prison guards standing in front of Bai Yu's cell door, and Qiao 'er was imprisoned in front of Bai Yu. From the tears on her face, it was not difficult for Zhao Gao to guess something.
"Get those four jailers over here."
Zhao Gao's gaze turned cold. After saying this to the warden, he turned around and left.
Zhao Gao couldn't let Bai Yu see his appearance. When the First Emperor went to see Bai Yu, Zhao Gao was also present. However, Zhao Gao never said a word from beginning to end, so Bai Yu couldn't recognize his voice.
This was also the reason why Qin Shi Huang had asked Zhao Gao to personally come to the imperial prison.
"Follow me."
The warden's expression was also a little ugly because he noticed that Zhao Gao's expression was a little off.
First, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Bai Yu was fine. Then, his expression turned cold when he saw the jailer. After he saw Qiao 'er's tear-stained face, the warden guessed something.
"Consider yourself lucky this time."
The jailers glared at White Feather and then left.
"Young Master!"
After Qiao 'er saw the jailer leave, she quickly looked at Bai Yu.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Bai Yu's expression was gloomy. He had to think of a way to escape.
Even now, the system still hadn't appeared.
…………
Outside the imperial prison.
Zhao Gao looked at the four jailers kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face and said coldly,""Speak, what were you trying to do just now?”
" Lord Zhao," one of the jailers said hurriedly." That bastard from the kingdom was rude. He insulted Emperor Shi Huang and said such disrespectful words!"”
"That's right, that thief spoke rudely!”
"Lord Zhao, you have to be observant!”
The four jailers hurriedly explained, afraid that Zhao Gao would vent his anger on them.
How could they still look so arrogant when they were facing Bai Yu in the prison?
"You said that Bai Yu was rude to His Majesty and insulted him? You even said such disgraceful words?"
Zhao Gao's face turned even colder after hearing the jailer's words.
"Lord Zhao, who is that Bai Yu?”
The warden noticed that Zhao Gao's expression was getting more and more strange, and he was afraid that Zhao Gao would execute the four jailers.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
After saying that, Zhao Gao glanced at the warden. He did not forget the purpose of his visit and immediately said,"If he loses a single strand of hair, the few of you should be prepared to execute his entire family. Serve this person well with good wine and food. If you neglect him even a little, don't blame me for being ruthless!”
Zhao Gao didn't immediately punish these jailers. He would report everything to the First Emperor, and as for how to punish them, it would be up to the First Emperor himself!
And this was the main reason why he could climb to his current position. There were some things that he could not decide. It was related to the First Emperor. If he made a decision without authorization, it would definitely attract the displeasure of his master.
As for the others.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will obey your orders.”
The four jailers hurriedly replied, their faces filled with fear. In fact, they did not take Zhao Gao's warning to heart at all.
This was because Zhao Gao had said the same thing when he came to the imperial prison. He had been entrusted by someone to help some of the remnants of the fallen country with connections in the imperial prison so that they would not suffer physical pain.
Of course, after Zhao Gao said this, they would still listen. After all, he had a high position and power. If they really did something wrong, they would not even know how they died.
How could Zhao Gao not know what they were thinking?
However, he did not care so much. He hurried back and prepared to report to the First Emperor!
