Shangxiao Palace, no, it should be called West Hall.
Yu Huatian brought the people back. The West Hall had just been built under Ying Zheng's decree, and did not have such professional instruments of torture.
However, this was not a problem for Yu Huatian. In just 15 minutes, he had interrogated Liu Yu about everything he knew.
"Watch him closely. No one is allowed to approach him!”Yu Huatian instructed. Then, he took Liu Yu's crimes and walked towards the Qilin Palace.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards in front of the hall naturally would not stop Yu Huatian.
As they walked into the hall, Yu Huatian presented the bamboo scroll with both hands.
"Your Majesty, everything has been investigated!"
"Hand it over!" Ying Zheng raised his hand to signal, and an Embroidered Uniform Guard stepped forward and handed the bamboo slips to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, when I was interrogating Liu Yu, I met a eunuch who claimed to be a subordinate of Marquis Changxin. He spoke rudely, so I took the initiative to behead him!”Yu Huatian reported the situation in the imperial prison.
"Yes." Ying Zheng didn't care too much about it. His eyes swept across the bamboo slip, and a hint of killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes.
Liu Yu was backed by Lao Ai, and a eunuch actually relied on the Empress Dowager to obtain such power!
"Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai!" Ying Zheng knew who this man was. Lao Ai's title of Marquis Changxin was conferred by the Empress Dowager!
"Your Majesty, this matter involves a lot of things. When I brought Liu Yu back, Minister Chen Xian wanted to snatch him from my hands!”Yu Huatian said.
" One is Lu Buwei, the other is Lao Ai…" Ying Zheng's eyes shone with a strange light.
Not only was Lao Ai, a eunuch in the palace, conferred the title of Marquis, but he had also used the royal family's private treasury to win over the nine ministers, the officials, and the officials.
This was not a small matter. If it was not dealt with, Lao Ai would become the next Lu Buwei.
"Investigate! Find out the background of this Lao Ai!”
"Investigate when he entered the palace, what he did before entering the palace, and…why he received the Empress Dowager's favor!”
Ying Zheng's voice was filled with suppressed anger. Anyone would dare to climb over his head now.
"Your Majesty, Lao Ai lives in Sweet Spring Palace, which is the Empress Dowager's palace.”
Yu Huatian asked for instructions. He could be extremely arrogant outside, but in front of Ying Zheng, he had to think carefully.
Ganquan Palace was the Empress Dowager's territory. Only after Ying Zheng had given his approval did Yu Huatian dare to investigate without any scruples.
"I'll give you this authority. Within three days, I want to know all the information about Lao Ai!”Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" Yu Huatian responded and turned around to leave the Qilin Palace. A bloodthirsty smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
With Ying Zheng's nod, he dared not to barge into Yu Huatian's territory!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Reward: Commander of the Azure Dragon Embroidered Uniform Guards!”Li Changsheng showed up at the right time and waved his hand, handing over the mission reward to Ying Zheng out of his own pocket.
Hearing Li Changsheng's voice, Ying Zheng's expression eased up a little. The free reward made Ying Zheng feel much better.
" Azure Dragon, one of the four commanders of the Brocade Guard, a Xiantian expert..." Li Changsheng sent a message into Ying Zheng's mind.
Azure Dragon, dressed in a flying fish robe, appeared in the hall. Unlike the other Embroidered Uniform Guards, his weapon was a long treasure box.
It was called the Fourteen Forces of the Inner Palace, and there were fourteen refined steel sabers in the box.
The eight swords were named Heaven, Earth, General, Law, Wisdom, Faith, Benevolence, and Courage, and were used for interrogation.
The lower six are specially used for execution.
First kill: disobeying orders.
Second kill: interfere with politics and play with power.
Three kills: corruption and perverting the law.
Four kills: treason.
Five Kills: Killing each other.
The last one was called "Honoring Heaven's Mercy," which was used to commit suicide after failing a mission.
"The fourteen forces of the inner court will be called the fourteen forces of Great Qin in the future!”Ying Zheng looked at the treasure box-like chest carried by the Azure Dragon.
"Yes!" Azure Dragon replied.
"First, you disobeyed orders. Second, you interfered with the government. I really want you to kill Lu Buwei!”Ying Zheng looked at Azure Dragon and said.
"Your Majesty has given the order, this subordinate will immediately do it!”Azure Dragon put down the treasure box and took out the first and second long sabers.
"There will be a chance, but not now!”Ying Zheng knocked on the handle of the dragon throne with his right hand and looked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It wouldn't take long.
" After I deal with this Lao Ai, it will be your turn…" Ying Zheng muttered to himself.
He knew that Lu Buwei had a lot of followers in the court, but Ying Zheng was not a timid person.
If he didn't kill the snake, he would be harmed instead. If he wanted to attack, he had to be ruthless!
With just one move, Lu Buwei could not even turn around!
"Qinglong, I will give you 300 Brocade Guards. Take them out of the palace and monitor the Prime Minister's Mansion day and night.”Ying Zheng ordered.
"Yes!" Azure Dragon cupped his hands and said. Then, he gathered the 300 Embroidered Uniform Guards and quietly left the palace.
He did things like Yu Huatian, swift and decisive, not fond of procrastination.
The Qilin Palace fell silent, leaving only Ying Zheng sitting on the dragon throne, thinking about how to proceed in the future.
Li Changsheng was quite satisfied with Ying Zheng's progress, as it was already considered fast.
"At this rate, Brother Zheng will be able to enter the royal court in a few days!”
"As long as you have a little bit of power, it will be much easier for Brother Zheng to kill Lu Buwei.”
If it was Ying Zheng before the System, he would not care about what was happening outside the window. Even if he knew about these things, he would not care about them. Instead, he would slowly accumulate his strength.
Without the system, before Ying Zheng took over the government, he would not have faced Lu Buwei and Lao Ai head-on like he did now.
