"Li Si, what crime have you committed?" Ying Zheng asked.
"I…didn't rule strictly!" Li Si said frankly," His Majesty handed the brewing of wine to me…"
"This is my fortune!"
"And I have a wine craftsman under me, named Xin Cheng!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with confusion. Who are you?"
" Your Majesty..." The Xianyang Order suddenly walked out from the crowd of officials.
"A few days ago, someone caused trouble in the winery on the outskirts of Xianyang City!”
"The winery is a fief. The lord of the fief directly ordered the troublemakers to be killed.”
"Among the troublemakers is Xin Cheng!”
"Oh?" " Oh," Ying Zheng replied softly, then turned to Zhao Gao." Zhao Gao, have you heard of this?"”
"Your Majesty, I have never heard of it!”Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said,
"However…from what I heard, this Xin Cheng dared to go to someone else's fief to cause trouble. He deserves to die!”
"Great Qin has strict laws, and anyone who trespasses on a noble's fief and causes trouble has the right to be killed on the spot!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and said immediately,""Since you have been killed, then Li Si…I will pardon you!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Si kowtowed and said,
"But Your Majesty, the owner of the winery has gone too far!!”
" He thought that Xin Cheng was ordered by me. After killing Xin Cheng…"
"You're even waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on me!"
"Your Majesty, please help me!”
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's brows had already furrowed slightly, but he still said,""There's actually such a thing?"
"Tell me in detail!"
"Here!" " Yes!" Li Si replied." The hundred acres of fertile land that was destroyed by the flood yesterday is the fertile land that Your Majesty gave me!"”
"And that traitor…if I am not wrong, he is the owner of the winery!!”
"This is revenge! Revenge for not being strict with my subordinates!"
"I know I'm guilty and don't dare to absolve Xin Cheng!!”
"But that hundred mu of fertile land…Although it belongs to me, it ultimately belongs to His Majesty!!”
"The entire world is the land of the king! I have nothing to say about his revenge!!”
"But he destroyed Your Majesty's fertile land. I beg Your Majesty…to arrest him!!”
"According to the laws of Great Qin, you will be severely punished!!”
Li Si said firmly.
Hearing this, First Emperor Ying Zheng could not help but laugh.
He knew it. As the Prime Minister, he definitely had a big show to sing.
As expected…as expected!
Li Si's heart…was still as small as a needle's tip…
He had no tolerance at all!
Just because Qin Yu has made great contributions to our Great Qin?
Just because Qin Yu offered up so many divine items?
Just because Qin Yu was in charge of the winery in the outskirts of Xianyang?
Li Si wanted to kill him?
No…not kill…
Li Si wasn't that bold. Unless I agreed, he wouldn't dare to do anything.
But his action was intended to find out Qin Yu's identity!!
Otherwise…he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well, right?
Li Si was smart…It was like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse…He really guessed right!
The destruction of that hundred mu of fertile farmland was indeed related to Qin Yu!!
But so what?
What evidence could prove that he was taking revenge?
You, Li Si…Do you really think that everyone is as petty as you?
Wanting to destroy a hundred acres of fertile farmland, this was merely the Qin Yu brothers 'impulse…
Everything, including the destruction of the fertile land and how it was destroyed, was arranged by Zhao Gao!
Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao without leaving a trace, and Zhao Gao smiled shyly.
Ying Zheng was speechless…
Whoa, Li Si had guessed it right again!
This was indeed revenge!
However, it did not come from Qin Yu, but from Zhao Gao!!
Zhao Gao had already seen through Li Si's jealousy…
He had specially chosen Li Si's hundred acres of fertile farmland to destroy. This was something he had been holding back!
It was in line with Zhao Gao's character... He would seek revenge for the smallest grievance! He liked to flatter!
Seeing that he could still smile, Ying Zheng gave him a fierce glare...
Zhao Gao understood and quickly said,"Prime Minister Li, aren't you being too arbitrary?"
"How do you know that it was the owner of the winery?”
Zhao Gao's response was very simple--
Li Si doesn't have any evidence anyway…If you do, you won't just be pointing fingers at Qin Yu and his brother…
And I, Zhao Gao!
And…His Majesty!
"Your Majesty, the destruction of a hundred acres of fertile farmland is a serious matter!”
"If it really wasn't done by that person, I request Your Majesty to immediately summon him into the palace and confront him face to face!”
Li Si ignored Zhao Gao and cupped his hands at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly…He knew that Li Si's real purpose was not to kill Qin Yu.
At least not yet!
What he wanted to know…was merely Qin Yu's identity!
What's your name? Which noble? Was it a threat to Zhao Gao?
This was the main reason why Zhao Gao had led his ministers to Zhangtai Palace!!
"I agree. If it really isn't that person, we can confront him face to face and prove his innocence!”
"I agree. Your Majesty, please summon the expert into the palace immediately!!”
"I agree. Your Majesty, please stand up for Prime Minister Li Si!!”
“……”
The crowd clamored, and the officials in Zhangtai Palace begged for orders!
The ministers of Great Qin, led by the Minister, the Grand Servant, and the Internal Secretary, all started to jeer.
They did not believe what Li Si said…
Instead, he had long been fascinated by the expert who had taken out the three divine artifacts of potatoes, curved plows, divine arm crossbows, horse riding, and paper making techniques!
Since there was such an opportunity, everyone would meet him together.
Wouldn't it be good to bring him into the Great Qin Dynasty Hall?
Ying Zheng was speechless.
One by one! They followed suit!
Do you know what Li Si is trying to do? Why are you making a ruckus here?
A bunch of brainless…loyal officials!
But then again, it was fortunate that they were brainless…
Otherwise, he would have been killed by Li Si!
With the presence of the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire, the First Emperor Ying Zheng would have a headache.
He did not deny that Li Si had the ability to govern the country. In fact, he even admired him.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the Left Prime Minister of Great Qin…
He was too petty!
Moreover, he was both loyal and treacherous. The First Emperor himself could control him.
If it was another emperor…
He was afraid that he would not dare to use Li Si, or he would be made a figurehead by Li Si, causing Li Si to have power over the government and the people!!
But against Li Si, the First Emperor Ying Zheng had his own methods…
He didn't say anything at all. Instead, he looked at Zhao Gao with a smile in his eyes!
Zhao Gao's heart couldn't help but thump…
Why are you teaching me to take the blame again?
