Zhao Gao was arrested. As long as he didn't expose Old Zhao and Old Gao, Qin Yu wasn't worried.
He was a treacherous official, so even if he died, everything would be over!
Needless to say, this Zhao Gao was really quite reliable!
He kept his mouth shut and did not involve Old Zhao and Old Gao.
Qin Yu was originally still puzzled. Zhao Gao's mouth was so stubborn. Was he not afraid of death?
And then... there was a rumor in Xianyang City that the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had made an exception and pardoned Zhao Gao!
High Official Meng Yi had sentenced Zhao Gao to death, but he was saved by First Emperor Ying Zheng.
First Emperor Ying Zheng's words carried weight. Although the ministers in the court had some complaints about this, they did not dare to disobey the First Emperor!
Qin Yu, who heard about this matter, was completely stunned!
No wonder Zhao Gao dared to accept bribes and was so unyielding.
The emperor's favor is strong!
He did not know how this treacherous official managed to burn down the granary of Xianyang, but even the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was willing to forgive him for such a serious matter…
In Xianyang City, other than the burning of the granary, another major event happened.
The potatoes sprouted like bamboo shoots after a rain in Xianyang City.
There were not many of them, and only nobles were qualified to enjoy them.
However, everyone was saying that this potato was an auspicious sign that the heavens had sent to Great Qin.
Its yield per mu could reach more than 6,000 catties!!
Hearing this news, Qin Yu grinned.
It seemed that Old Zhao's plan was very successful. Not only did he get the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, but he also got the nobles of Great Qin as well!
Several days had passed since the incident. Old Zhao and Old Gao finally appeared at Qin Yu's house again.
"Old Zhao, Xianyang City has been in an uproar these days. I was scared to death!”
"Fortunately, Zhao Gao didn't say anything. Otherwise, I would have run away!”
"Why haven't you come to see me for so long?”
"Hey, Old Gao, I haven't seen you in a few days. Why have you become so thin?”
Qin Yu said to the two of them very eagerly.
Zhao Gao's expression froze. How did he become so skinny?
You still have the cheek to ask me?
Damn it…I'm just taking the blame for you!!
Zhao Gao had suffered a lot in Xianyang Prison these few days.
He even suspected that the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had believed Qin Yu's slanderous words and thought that he, Zhao Gao, was a traitor of the ages.
Zhao Gaozhen was afraid that the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, would give up on him…
Fortunately, it was all in the past!
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had pardoned Zhao Gao's 'crimes'!!
"Hahaha, busy promoting potatoes, I've neglected Brother Qin Yu!”
"Old Gao has suffered a lot in order to promote potatoes!”
Old Zhao laughed and clapped his hands.
Immediately, someone carried a few large boxes and walked in.
When the chest was opened, there were all kinds of gold, stone, jade, silk, cloth, and bundles of bamboo slips.
"Red packet!" Ying Zheng said heroically.
Qin Yu's eyes lit up at this moment!
He had only used a few acres of potatoes to exchange for so much gold, silver, and jewelry!
He had profited greatly!
"Not bad, Old Zhao. It seems that you've earned a lot during this period of time!”
Qin Yu pushed Old Zhao's shoulder and said excitedly.
"Not bad, not bad."
Ying Zheng was grinning from ear to ear.
"Sigh, the First Emperor…didn't he give you an official position?”Qin Yu knew the value of potatoes.
This thing was easy to grow, and the yield was extremely high!
There were all sorts of ways to eat it, and it was a rare divine item for Great Qin!
Logically speaking, other than this pile of rewards, Old Zhao should be able to obtain an official position in the court.
If that was really the case, then his, Qin Yu's, backing would be considered to be a little stronger!
In the future, if he committed some crimes…cough cough, that would be much more convenient!
"No!" Old Zhao said decisively," Ever since Lu Buwei, the First Emperor has been prejudiced against us merchants!”
"It's extremely difficult for a businessman to become an official.”
Qin Yu nodded." Alright!”
"With a crafty villain like Zhao Gao in the royal court, the emperor is favored.”
"Old Zhao, you have a simple and honest personality. If you offend him, you might not even be able to protect this little fortune.”
Zhao Gao was speechless.
Why did they mention me again?
How am I a villain?
How am I a traitor?
Zhao Gao felt wronged…
"That's right, that's right. How can being an official in the court be as comfortable as being a rich man!”
Ying Zheng tried his best to hold back his laughter. He nodded and said," That's strange. The First Emperor didn't kill Zhao Gao.”
As he spoke, Ying Zheng gave Zhao Gao a meaningful glance.
Zhao Gao was so scared that he couldn't help but tremble. He smiled and said,"Actually, Zhao Gao is quite a good person. At least he didn't rat us out.”
Qin Yu nodded." You're right! This Zhao Gao was not good at anything else, but he was the best at committing crimes!”
"In the future…we have to work more with such people!”
"It's reliable! Keep your mouth shut! High professionalism!"
"He's definitely not the kind of person who doesn't do anything after receiving money!”
When Zhao Gao heard this, he almost cried…
Are you f * cking praising me or scolding me?
"Hey, speaking of which, I still don't know where you guys live.”
"I wanted to look for you these few days, but I couldn't find you.”
"I almost died of anxiety!"
Qin Yu suddenly asked.
Where do you live?
Of course, he would live in Zhangtai Palace and Zhongche Prefecture!
However, neither Ying Zheng nor Zhao Gao told them the truth.
Why did Ying Zheng punish Zhao Gao?
Wasn't it because he didn't want to expose his identity in front of Qin Yu?
Playing with Qin Yu was fun!
Most importantly, he would be able to gain something and obtain the auspicious signs of Great Qin!
Once his identity was exposed, it might not be that interesting anymore…
There were a few times when Zhao Gao wanted to directly reveal his identity to scare Qin Yu!
However, the First Emperor had put in a lot of effort. If he exposed it…
Then wouldn't all the suffering these past few days be in vain?
Zhao Gao lowered his head and did not answer, but Ying Zheng suddenly had a plan.
"Brother Qin Yu, are you interested in visiting the residence?”
Ying Zheng invited.
"Good, good. I've been in Great Qin…cough, I've been in Xianyang for so long, and I only know you, Old Zhao, and Old Gao.”
"We should walk around more.”
Qin Yu said as he stood up impatiently.
"Let's go. Today…we'll have a big meal!”
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be anxious!" Seeing Qin Yu walking towards the door, Ying Zheng raised his hand and stopped him.
Qin Yu turned around and looked at Ying Zheng in confusion.
"Bring the wine! I don't have this 42-degree wine in my house!”Ying Zheng laughed.
Qin Yu's expression instantly collapsed.
Wine was very expensive these days!
Although Qin Yu had already obtained the brewing method of the 42-degree wine rewarded by the system, the cost of brewing it was even higher!
"Oh, you're still reluctant?"
"No worries, my residence has plenty of food. If Brother Qin Yu needs it, feel free to move it!”
Ying Zheng looked at Qin Yu's reluctant expression and laughed heartily...
