Zhao Gao couldn't understand why Ying Zheng would suddenly make such a move. Could it be that someone had handed the evidence to Ying Zheng?
That shouldn't be the case. The Network had always been in his hands, and he was also sure that he would do everything flawlessly.
"Oh, I thought you wouldn't cry until you saw the coffin.”Ying Zheng revealed a meaningful smile.
"Your Majesty, I shouldn't have taken advantage of my position to appoint my son-in-law as the chief of the Eastern County Pavilion.”Zhao Gao said apologetically.
？
Ying Zheng was taken aback. He did not care about the insignificant position of a Constable Chief at all. At first, he asked about the rebellion, but Zhao Gao denied it. Then, he put pressure on Zhao Gao to see if he had done anything wrong to Great Qin.
In fact, Zhao Gao did not have such an intention at the moment. He was only interested in his own interests.
"It's not just this, right?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. The soul-stirring might of an emperor made Zhao Gao feel uneasy, as if he had no secrets to speak of in front of Ying Zheng.
" Rong Weichen, think about it..." Zhao Gao's eyes darted around. He was worried that he would follow in Xu Fu's footsteps.
It seemed that Ying Zheng did not have enough evidence, otherwise, he would not have asked him to hold a candle and chat at night.
"Think carefully. Zhen will not malign a loyal official, nor will Zhen let off any crafty official!”Ying Zheng took a sip of tea.
"Your Majesty, there really isn't any more. This lowly subject is loyal, and if Your Majesty wishes to grant this subject death, this lowly subject will not complain.”Zhao Gao had an expression that said that if the ruler wanted his subjects to die, they would die immediately.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly. Could it be that Lan 'er's judgment was wrong? Blame a good person wrongly?
"Alright, I'll trust you for now. If you do anything to harm Great Qin in the future, I won't forgive you!”Ying Zheng nodded, then dismissed Zhao Gao.
Xu Fu had ulterior motives, and he had solid evidence. Zhao Gao's case had not been concluded yet, so he could not kill the innocent.
If he could eavesdrop on everyone's thoughts, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble... An insatiable thought popped up in Ying Zheng's mind...
"Mr. Gai, what do you think of Zhao Gao?”
As Ying Zheng spoke, a figure appeared.
"This person is quite scheming and is easily blinded by greed. There should be some problems, but he won't betray Great Qin.”Ge Nia muttered to himself.
"Well, what do you think of Lan 'er?”Ying Zheng suddenly changed the topic.
Ge Nia shook his head.
" I thought that the Sixth Prince's talent was average, and he was just arrogant because he had the support of the Bloody Hand Butcher. However, I found that the Sixth Prince was not simple during the sparring in the Sword Training Field. In just one day, he had already grasped the Dragon Taming Tactics. His future is limitless.
I can't see through it."
These words came from the bottom of his heart. Ge Nia actually felt a bit of pressure from a mere Earth Realm expert.
"Haha, it's normal that you can't see through him. In this world, only I should understand his thoughts.”Ying Zheng was indescribably pleased.
Great Qin's country would probably be entrusted to Ying Lan. This kid was like an endless gold mine, continuously giving him surprises.
" Of course. It's said that the father knows the son best. By the way, Your Majesty, there's some news about the Strange Stone that fell from the sky in East County. According to General Wang Li, after the Strange Stone fell, some villagers saw an unknown person carving words on it, but they haven't found the person who carved the words yet.”
"Oh, it seems that this one is too merciful. There are always people waiting for this one to die.”Ying Zheng sighed and cast a casual glance at Ge Nia. The latter's expression was as usual, without the slightest hint of suspicion.
He was starting to doubt Ying Lan's thoughts. If it was Zhao Gao's rebellion, he would still believe it, but if it was Ge Nia, he really couldn't think of what he had done wrong.
Ever since Jing Ke failed to assassinate the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng had been once bitten, twice shy. No one was allowed to approach him with weapons, except for Ge Nia.
Even the Divine Sword of Abyss Rainbow was given to Ge Nia, so one could imagine how highly Ying Zheng regarded Ge Nia.
"Recently, we've been keeping an eye on the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. The Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings have descended, and they've received quite a bit of improvement. If we cause trouble now, we'll inevitably cause trouble for Great Qin.”
"Yes."
The next day.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the Beauty Rankings was announced.
The ancients said, Guan Guan turtledove, in the river island, quiet and fair lady, gentleman good match.
No matter which era it was, beautiful women were topics that men could not escape from. Even if they could not get them, it was quite satisfying to talk about them.
In a teahouse in Xianyang City, many martial artists and commoners gathered and discussed.
"Hey, guess which beauties will be on the rankings?”
"There will definitely be a place for Li Wanning. She is the publicly recognized beauty of Xianyang City and my dream lover.”
"I'm guessing that Daoist Master Xiaomeng can be on the rankings. Although very few people have seen her true appearance, her story has always been circulating in the streets.”
"There shouldn't be any Bloody Butcher here to steal the limelight this time!”
"Not necessarily. Perhaps the Bloody Butcher is a peerless beauty.”
"Come on, let's bet on whether Li Si's daughter, Li Wanning, can enter the top five of the Beauty Rankings!”
The teahouse was incredibly lively. As the capital of Great Qin, Xianyang City gathered all the heroes of the world. Coupled with the fact that the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings had been continuously released, it made ordinary people's horizons widen. It turned out that outside of the Central Plains, there were other empires and factions.
Fortunately, with the Blood-Hand Butcher guarding the fort, Great Qin was as impregnable as Mount Tai. The Hundred Schools of Philosophy that had been clamoring in the past had become much more restrained, and they knew better than anyone that the bird that took the lead would be shot.
The Yin-Yang School was an excellent example. If they stretched their hands too far, they would suffer the consequences in the end. Even if they were still disciples of the Yin-Yang School, they did not dare to introduce themselves to avoid getting themselves killed.
Just as everyone was discussing, a golden light flashed in the air, and a huge scroll appeared.
The loud and old voice sounded again.
"The Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings, the World Beauty Rankings, is about to be announced.”
"Coming, coming."
"Those on the rankings will be blessed endlessly."
[Beauty Rankings #10: Li Si's daughter, Li Wanning. She is dignified, beautiful, youthful, and energetic. She is good at singing and dancing. She is rewarded with a bottle of Cleansing Mask Cream.]
"What is it? Li Wanning was only ranked tenth. Was there a mistake?!”
"This is the World Rankings and is not limited to Great Qin, understand?”
"There are actually nine women in the world who are more beautiful than Li Wanning!”
"What is this cleansing facial mask cream? I've never even heard of it."
Li Manor.
"What? Why am I counting down?!”Li Wanning stomped her feet in anger. How did she really become the worst?!
[Beauty Ranking #9: Moon Goddess, codename Phantom, Yin Yang School's Right Guardian, proficient in divination and seduction techniques. Reward: a bottle of Immortal Beautifying Water.]
The Yin-Yang School had many beautiful women, and this was something that Great Qin publicly acknowledged. As such, no one was surprised. However, this Divine Water was something that was beyond their understanding. It seemed like it could make beautiful women even more charming.
[Beauty Rankings #8: Duanmu Rong, Commander of the Mo Family, Successor of the Medical Family, Benevolent Heart, Excellent Medical Skills. Reward: Eastern Mystery Skin Cream.]
