Knowing that he had once again taken the blame for Qin Yu, Zhao Gao's expression was extremely ugly.
We can't just not do it!
He couldn't just not stir up trouble!
Isn't it good to serve the First Emperor and serve the country?
Zhao Gao was very rare…He was almost forced by life to become a loyal minister…
Actually, in Zhao Gao's heart, he had always been an absolutely loyal subject.
He was absolutely loyal to the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
As long as it was an order from First Emperor Ying Zheng…
Regardless of whether it was beneficial or detrimental to Great Qin, he was willing to do anything!!
If this could be considered a treacherous official, then he would be a treacherous official for the time being…
At least he still had the trust of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, right?
A few days later, the First Emperor Ying Zheng brought Zhao Gao out of the palace.
Their destination was naturally Qin Yu's house!
Let's go drink!
First Emperor Ying Zheng was not in a good mood.
So many major events had happened in recent days…
Yet another Hundred Schools of Philosophy jumped out and cursed the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, as a tyrant!
Hearing such voices, the First Emperor Ying Zheng really wanted to kill these philosophers!!
In history, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had been called a tyrant for more than two thousand years…
But was he really a tyrant?
Had he ever killed a minister of Great Qin?
Did he ever destroy a city or a county in the process of unifying the six states?
No!
All the things that tyrants should do, the First Emperor Ying Zheng had never done!!
Sometimes, he even wished that he was a tyrant…
At the very least, tyrants didn't have to suffer the wrath of the scholars of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy!!
What did a bunch of pedantic people know?
Whenever something bad happened to Great Qin, they would talk about it.
But what about good things?
Just pretend that you didn't see it?
The auspicious potatoes and the Quyuan Li…how much could they bring Great Qin?
In comparison, they had only burned down the granary of Xianyang and killed 100 cows. Great Qin had made a killing!!
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, did not ask them to see this, but only asked them not to cause trouble…
However, even the Hundred Schools of Philosophy could not satisfy such a small request!!
"What's wrong, Old Zhao?"
"You don't look like you're in a good mood.”
At Qin Yu's house, good wine and dishes had been served, but Old Zhao's brows still could not relax.
"It's fine, it's fine. Let's drink!" Ying Zheng did not say much.
The Hundred Schools of Thought and the remnants of the Six Nations were all problems left behind after Great Qin unified the Six Nations.
Even if he told Qin Yu, would Qin Yu be able to solve it?
"If you're so unhappy, what's the point of drinking this wine?”
Seeing that Old Zhao was unwilling to say more, Qin Yu did not ask further. However, he suggested," Why don't we go out and have some fun?”
"Have fun? "I don't like those places with fireworks…" Old Zhao shook his head and said.
"Pei, Old Zhao, who are you looking down on?”
"You make it sound like I'm lingering over those fireworks!”
Qin Yu spat and said,"If you don't like the fireworks, then…where are the horses?"”
"Old Zhao, do you like good horses?"
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. Speaking of this fine steed, it was the Ying family's old trade.
The ancestor of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, raised horses for the Zhou Emperor.
Therefore, even though he had become an emperor, the first emperor in history, Ying Zheng still had a special affection for horses.
But…this was not the reason why Ying Zheng's eyes lit up!
What really made his eyes light up…was that he felt that Qin Yu was going to start causing trouble again…
"Why don't we steal a few horses to play with?”
"Riding on a stolen horse and galloping to your heart's content, I guarantee you, Old Zhao, that when the horse arrives…you will be beaming with joy!!”
Qin Yu said with a smile.
Ying Zheng's guess was right, Qin Yu was indeed planning to make a living again…
Strangely enough, on the night he met Old Gao, the system, which had been silent for a few days, issued a new system mission to Qin Yu.
Stealing 300 horses!
Hearing Qin Yu say that he was going to steal a few horses to play with, Zhao Gao was so frightened that his hands trembled and he spilled his wine.
There was nothing better than a dragon in the sky and a horse in the earth!
Horses are the foundation of armor and weapons, and are of great use to the country!!
This was enough to show how important horses were to Great Qin.
"Those who steal horses will die, and those who steal cattle will be punished.”
This was a law of Great Qin.
It meant that anyone who stole a cow would only be shackled and thrown into prison.
As for stealing a horse, the crime was much greater. It was a capital crime!!
Great Qin already placed a lot of importance on cattle, right?
However, he placed a lot of importance on horses!
"Steal a few horses? We have horses, why steal them?"
Zhao Gao quickly stopped him.
He was no longer in the mood to watch the show.
Because he knew that whenever Qin Yu had a bold idea, the First Emperor Ying Zheng would not punish him. Instead, he would indulge him.
And then…all the blame would fall on Zhao Gao!!
For his own safety, Zhao Gao had to stop him!!
"Old Gao, what do you know? It's our own family. How can we steal incense?”Qin Yu scolded jokingly.
"Oh, I have to correct you…"
"I'm not planning to steal a few, but I'm planning to steal three to five hundred. How about that?”
Zhao Gao was speechless.
His body went limp and he collapsed onto the cushion…
Stealing a horse was a capital offense.
Steal three to five hundred horses?
Wasn't that a great crime…to exterminate the three clans!？
This crime…wouldn't fall on my head again, right?
Zhao Gao hurriedly turned around and looked at First Emperor Ying Zheng for help...
Ying Zheng did not seem to notice his pitiful eyes. Instead, he grinned and said,""Stealing horses? This plan is wonderful!"
"Old Gao, go down and make the arrangements. We're going to Guan Mountain Ranch and steal three to five hundred horses to ride!!”
"If you want to play, let's play big!”
Ying Zheng didn't even ask Qin Yu about the benefits of stealing the horse.
Qin Yu would never disappoint the First Emperor, Ying Zheng…
Besides, Ying Zheng was already in a bad mood, so wouldn't sneaking around and walking his horse be a good way to cheer him up?
"Really…really steal?" Seeing that Ying Zheng had agreed, Zhao Gao started to stutter...
"Steal!" Ying Zheng nodded.
" But the crime of stealing a horse…" Zhao Gao hesitated.
"Old Gao, when did you become so timid?”
"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't there that treacherous official, Zhao Gao, holding up the fort?!”
"No!"
Qin Yu interrupted.
Zhao Gao was speechless.
You don't feel sorry for me, but I…I'm Zhao Gao!!
Seeing Zhao Gao's dumbfounded face, Ying Zheng had already begun to find the matter interesting. The corners of his mouth curled up as he said,"
"That's right, Old Gao, what are you afraid of?”
"At most, we'll just let Zhao Gao take the blame for us again!”
"Anyway, it's fine if you support me once or twice, right?”
Zhao Gao was speechless.
"Here!"
After a long time, Zhao Gao still nodded and then reluctantly went down to make the arrangements...
