"I, Li Si, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"This subject, Meng Yi, greets Your Majesty!"
...
In Zhangtai Palace, most of the important officials were gathered here.
When Li Si and Meng Yi returned to Zhangtai Palace, everyone looked at them.
There was anxiety and worry in his eyes…
When Ying Zheng heard that the two of them had returned, he also turned his gaze over.
At this moment, the First Emperor's eyes were extremely cold.
Although his face was expressionless, when his gaze landed on people, it gave people the illusion that there was a knife on their back.
His skin felt like it was being pricked by sharp needles.
"How is it?"
The word 'how was it' was both asking about Ying Zi Xuan's current state, and also asking about the assassin.
His question also voiced the thoughts of most of the people present.
If they heard that Ying Zi Xuan was now flying into a rage, it was likely that many people wouldn't even feel at ease when they went home to sleep.
He was afraid that in the middle of the night, this fellow would not be able to figure it out and suddenly bring people to his house.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Xuan…He was fine now, but he seemed to have suffered a little shock. The two captured assassins were severely injured, and Young Master was currently arranging for them to be treated.”
When the First Emperor asked, Meng Yi had no intention of speaking. Li Si saw this and stepped forward.
Along the way, his mood had mostly calmed down.
At this moment, his speech was considered stable.
After hearing his reply, Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Yi from the corner of his eyes.
After seeing the other party nod, he waved his hand and gestured for them to sit down.
" Great Qin's Sixth Young Master, Defender Marquis Ying Zixuan, was ambushed and killed on his way back from the Imperial Palace…"
Ying Zheng's voice sounded a little low.
Although there was no expression on his face at the moment, everyone present could feel his monstrous anger.
This time when Ying Zi Xuan was attacked, it could be said that it made him feel even angrier than the last time he was attacked.
He had been attacked while he was on patrol, but Ying Zi Xuan had actually been attacked right under his eyes.
This had already exceeded Ying Zheng's tolerance limit.
"I truly did not expect that in my capital, the capital of Great Qin, in such an important place, my son would almost be assassinated.”
As Ying Zheng spoke, he actually started laughing.
Yes, he smiled.
His smile made people shudder.
"Your Majesty, this assassination must be investigated and dealt with strictly. There must be no leniency! Your Majesty, please issue a decree! Investigate this matter with all your might and bring the culprit to justice."
Feng Quji immediately stood up after Ying Zheng finished speaking.
His eyes and expression were filled with anger.
Because, he felt that he was the biggest victim of Ying Zi Xuan's assassination this time.
Previously, there was the matter of Ying Zi Xuan slaughtering scholars, and in the end, Ying Zi Xuan was assassinated.
At this moment, Feng Quji was not a big suspect.
He knew that he would not do such a foolish thing, but would others know?
Or rather, would others believe it?
"Your Majesty, I think that all suspects should be investigated one by one. Xianyang City should also investigate those who come and go in the near future. We should check the background of those assassins and also check if those assassins have any accomplices!”
Since Feng Quji had spoken, Li Si naturally would not back down.
He also stood up at the first moment.
Now was the time to express his stance.
Regardless of whether His Majesty would believe it or not, they had to show their attitude.
After all, the Sixth Young Master's actions were too big, and the net of interests involved was too big.
Among the people present, it could be said that anyone was a suspect.
Moreover, they were all quite suspicious.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we leave this matter to the Sixth Young Master to investigate!”
After Feng Quji and Li Si expressed their stance.
Just as the other ministers were about to stand up, a deep voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall.
Soon after, Wang Jian's somewhat aged yet unusually strong and tough body slowly walked in from outside.
Meanwhile, Wang Ben followed behind his father with a serious look on his face.
Grandfather Wang was finally here?
But what was he saying?
Leave it to Ying Zi Xuan to investigate himself, what if he started killing randomly?
It was very difficult to prove who was the mastermind behind this incident at this special time.
However, it would be very difficult for 1 to produce evidence to prove that he was not!
There was no way to prove it.
What if he came looking for her and she was killed because she couldn't prove her innocence?
If not for Wang Jian's identity being really too special, at this time, probably half of the people present would have jumped up and directly started cursing.
This was a classic example of him saying things without hurting his back.
Ying Zi Xuan could be considered his, Wang Jian's, grandson-in-law. Moreover, Ying Zi Xuan was extremely respectful towards him.
It was impossible for him, Wang Jian, or even the entire Wang Clan's direct line of descent to be in any danger.
But they couldn't.
Other than Meng Yi, who was absolutely loyal to Ying Zheng and had a rather good relationship with Ying Zixuan, there was no one else present.
Even Li Si didn't think that his life was something that Ying Zixuan didn't dare to take lightly.
Needless to say, Feng Quji and the others.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Old General Wang's words are a little inappropriate. Young Master was attacked this time, so it was inevitable that his mood would be a little unstable. It was probably not suitable for him to investigate this matter. How about…Why don't you let me come? I'll do my best.”
Feng Quji was still the first to stand up and object.
This investigation must not fall into Ying Zi Xuan's hands.
Otherwise, he would feel like another sword was hanging over his head at any time.
He couldn't eat or sleep well.
"Your Majesty…This matter is also a little inappropriate! At this moment, Young Master Xuan…Although his temperament is stable now, he has just experienced a life and death situation. I think it's better to let Young Master rest for a while.”
"I…I also request that we investigate this matter thoroughly."
Even though he had always been at odds with Feng Quji, Li Si didn't want to see Ying Zixuan take over this matter.
After all, this guy didn't play by the rules and was also cruel and bloodthirsty.
Who knew what crazy things he would do after he took over the investigation of the assassination.
"Humph! What stable temperament? What mood swings? Young Master Xuan was a true man of Great Qin. How could such a small matter scare him? Did any of you see Young Master Xuan's mood fluctuate?”
Wang Jian's explosive temper had also risen at this moment.
This Li Si and Feng Quji's words were full of mischief, didn't they just want to say that Ying Zixuan was frightened?
But the truth?
She was currently leisurely drinking tea at home.
This was called being frightened?
Moreover, after knowing Ying Zi Xuan's objective, Wang Jian had already made up his mind on the way here.
He had to help him.
If Ying Zi Xuan really had the intention of doing something extreme, then even if he, Wang Jian, offended his superior, he would personally take him down.
But if it was really like what Ying Zi Xuan said today.
They immediately gave up on investigating the mastermind behind the assassination and used the assassination as an excuse to launch some reforms that were not easy to implement, but would definitely benefit Great Qin.
That Wang Jian was absolutely supportive.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to change his usual attitude of not existing in the imperial court.
He directly flew into a rage and scolded everyone.
"Your Majesty, this old minister has just returned from Young Master Xuan's residence. Regarding this assassination, Young Master Xuan did not have any emotional fluctuations at all. His Majesty wasn't even angry when he was attacked in Bolangsha. Was there a need for such a trivial matter? . I feel that Young Master Xuan is definitely qualified to investigate this matter.”
"This old minister suggests that we hand it over to Young Master Xuan for a thorough investigation.”
After Wang Jian finished speaking, he knelt on one knee on the ground as if he was asking for battle.
This was the first time he had expressed his opinion so seriously in Zhangtai Palace since he had swept through the six dynasties.
Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but carefully examine Wang Jian at this moment.
This old national pillar actually didn't hesitate to break his own principles to support Ying Zixuan.
He had to take this matter seriously.
"Alright, this matter will be put on hold for the time being. After Zhen personally goes to see Zixuan tomorrow, we will make a decision.”
Ying Zheng did not make a decision immediately.
But his meaning was clear.
If Ying Zi Xuan was really like what Wang Jian had said and there was nothing strange about him, then this matter would probably really fall into his hands.
Thinking of this, many people could not help but wail in their hearts.
My life is over!
If Ying Zi Xuan really took over the investigation, then their little lives would be in danger!
