Zhao Gao heard the First Emperor's cold voice.
He knelt on the ground, his head deeply rooted to the ground.
"Your Majesty, this old servant doesn't know. This old servant is loyal and devoted to Your Majesty!”
"In the past, this old servant saw that Zhao Tuo had some ability and could expand the territory of our Great Qin Empire, so he recommended him to Your Majesty!”
"As for this old servant's son-in-law, this old servant really doesn't know people well.”
With a few simple words, Zhao Gao had cleared himself of all of it.
I also reminded you that I recommended Zhao Tuo for Great Qin.
He was also really interested in Zhao Tuo's ability and had no other intentions!
In the end, he blamed himself for being ignorant and even took the initiative to ask the First Emperor to punish him.
This time, the First Emperor saw that he had been diligent for so many years.
He wouldn't execute him, right?
However…
Before the First Emperor could speak.
Li Si spoke first.
"Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate, you are too shameless.”
"Let's not talk about Zhao Tuo for now. If it wasn't for you protecting and indulging your son-in-law Yan Le, he definitely wouldn't be on the Profiteer Ranking!”
"Moreover, this is only the seventh place. If you were to capture Zhao Tuo now, what would you do if you were to enter the rankings?”
When Zhao Gao heard Li Si's words, his body trembled imperceptibly.
He thought so too!
After all, he knew what his son-in-law was like.
Even he was on the list of treacherous officials, he would definitely not be spared!
However!
Zhao Gao would never accept his fate.
"Lord Left Minister, you are wrong."
"Zhao Tuo was introduced to Your Majesty because I saw his talent.”
"Yan Le is just my son-in-law, not my kid!”
"There's no telling what he's thinking!”
"I would like to ask Lord Left Minister, if your friends, family, and hanger-on disciples were to make it onto the Profiteers List.”
"Lord Left Minister, do you also think that you are a treacherous official?”
However, Li Si said arrogantly,"
"I'll say this. If any of my friends, family, or disciples are on this list, I'm willing to be punished as well!”
Li Si was that confident!
Most of his hanger-on disciples were Legalism disciples.
Great Qin's laws were strict, and this was the place where they could use their baggage, so it was impossible for traitors to appear.
As for his family and friends…
There was no such possibility!
"Enough!"
The First Emperor's majestic voice rang out.
"Zhao Gao, Li Si!"
"The two of you, stop arguing!"
"Zhao Tuo has a long way to go. Since he has already received the reward, there's no need to rush!”
"Let's wait for the treacherous officials list to end before making any plans!”
Hearing the First Emperor's words, Li Si stopped being aggressive.
At this moment.
Wang Li grabbed the drunk Yan Le and returned to the Xianyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, I didn't fail your orders and captured this man!”
It was fate.
After the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings were released, everyone in Great Qin, including the First Emperor and the remnants of the six countries, was shocked.
They treated it as the most important thing.
However,
Yan Le didn't care who was on the rankings and who wasn't.
Drinking wine was the most important thing!
Thus, he actually obtained the reward while he was drunk!
However, he did not have the time to feel what was happening.
Wang Li brought fifty elite soldiers and broke in, dragging him off the bed!
He was dragged all the way to Xianyang Palace like a dead dog.
"Hmm? Where is this?"
Yan Le, who was still drunk, looked around and found that everyone around him was staring at him and pointing at him.
"Hey! Who are you? Do you know who I am?”
"I am the son-in-law of the Prefect of Zhongche, Zhao Gao. Aren't you afraid that the Prefect of Zhongche will blame you for bringing me here?”
However, the people around them were not afraid at all. There were even a few people who had mocking expressions on their faces.
"That, that old man over there, who told you to laugh? Why aren't you kneeling and kowtowing when you see me?”
When Yan Le said this, the faces of the surrounding people all turned red!
If they weren't professionals, they would have burst into laughter!
Yan Le's actions were too appetizing. The First Emperor roared in the court.
He didn't even need to interrogate him, and he was already displaying his usual behavior to the fullest!
"Wake him up!"
The First Emperor was unhappy and ordered.
"Here!"
Wang Li's left hand grabbed Yan Le's neck, his right hand turned round and gave him a hard slap on the face!
"Pa!"
A crisp sound knocked Yan Le back to his senses.
Yan Le surveyed his surroundings, and his blurred eyes gradually regained a trace of clarity.
"Wang Li?"
Yan Le recognized that the person who hit him was Wang Li!
"Why did you hit me?"
Yan Le covered his face with one hand as he said in a wronged tone.
Yan Le knew that Wang Li was Wang Jian, Wang Ben's treasure, and he couldn't afford to offend him!
Seeing that Yan Le was awake, Wang Li turned around and knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty, I didn't fail you!"
"Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty!"
Yan Le was shocked. He raised his head to take a look. It really was the First Emperor!
Yan Le kneeled on the ground with a thud.
"This subject, Yan Le, greets Your Majesty!"
The First Emperor's eyes were burning as he said indifferently,"
"Yan Le, do you know your sins?"
