Compared to the clamor of the outside world.
The huge Xianyang Palace seemed a little cold.
The sun was dark and the fire had dissipated.
The First Emperor was leaning on a soft couch. There were thick bamboo slips on the table. He was reading official documents.
They were all reports submitted from various places, and most of the content was related to Fang Shuoshi.
Looking at the shocking numbers on the memorial, the first emperor's depression dissipated a lot.
The alchemist was disappointed.
It was completely cold, and there was no possibility of it happening again.
Only then could he vent the hatred in Qin Shi Huang's heart!
Footsteps sounded outside the door. A eunuch hurried in.
"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked indifferently without raising his head.”
The eunuch replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the officials are all waiting outside the hall. Today…they are not going to attend court?”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's slightly drooping eyelids lifted slightly, and he put down the bamboo slip in his hand.
"Tell all the ministers that I have been feeling unwell these few days and will not be attending court.”
"As for the matter of resuming the court meeting, we will inform you when the time comes.”
"Understood!"
The eunuch obeyed and left.
The hall returned to silence.
Ying Zheng's pair of pitch-black eyes looked out of the hall indifferently, and a cold light flashed across them.
The matter with the Fang Sorcerer had come to an end.
But now, there was still one thing that had not been dealt with.
It was like a sharp thorn stuck in Ying Zheng's heart, and he would not be happy until he got rid of it!
Huhai died for no reason.
If he didn't find the culprit, he wouldn't be able to sleep or eat in peace!
Soon, a guard in black armor entered with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, as per your instructions, I have thoroughly examined Young Master Huhai's body.”
"As expected, I found something strange!"
A strange look flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes.
"Tell me!"
"Yes, sir!"
The black-armored guard took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I found that Young Master Huhai appeared to have drowned, but after careful examination, I found…a very small hidden wound under Young Master Huhai's left rib.”
"If it was an ordinary coroner, they naturally wouldn't be able to tell. However, this subordinate has cultivated Inner Qi for many years. With a glance, I can tell that Young Master Huhai's hidden injury must have been caused by an Inner Qi expert!”
"Moreover, this person is not an ordinary expert!”
As soon as he said that!
Ying Zheng stood up abruptly, his eyes shining brightly.
"Is that true?"
"Everything this subordinate said is true. I don't dare to lie.”
Ying Zheng stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
Huhai's death was indeed not an accident.
This was something he firmly believed.
Now that he had gotten the answer he wanted, he could be considered to have gotten rid of one of his worries.
But then, boundless hatred surged in his heart.
He really couldn't understand who would be so vicious as to attack a child who was only ten years old.
The black-armored guard said seriously.
"The wound is almost imperceptible, but it can shift Young Master Huhai's internal organs and make him lose his ability to move.”
" With such mastery of Inner Qi, I would venture to guess…"
"The person who attacked is probably a martial grandmaster!”
In an instant.
The atmosphere in the hall froze, and it seemed a little oppressive and solemn.
An indescribable shock flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes.
It was actually a martial grandmaster!
It had to be said that there were very few martial grandmasters in Great Qin, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
No matter how much he thought about it, he still did not expect it.
Huhai was only a child in his early teens.
His death was actually related to a martial grandmaster.
After a brief moment of shock, Ying Zheng calmed down. Figures kept flashing through his mind, but he eliminated them one by one.
No matter how deep Ying Zheng's thoughts were, he would never understand.
The murderer was not from this world at all.
"Who would want to harm him?"
Ying Zheng's frown deepened as he asked in a deep voice.
"You can tell what kind of tricks the person who attacked you has?”
The black-armored guard frowned and pondered for a moment before shaking his head."This subordinate can't tell where this person is, but…"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
" I found out by chance that when Young Master Changqing massacred Zhao Gao's mansion, there seemed to be an unknown master under him. He was good at using a halberd. His strength is unknown, but he was at least at the grandmaster realm. Perhaps he..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the temperature in the hall drop.
The black-armored guard's heart was beating wildly. He immediately reacted and hurriedly said,"Of course, this is just a wild guess. It can't be used as evidence. As for the specifics, Your Majesty has to decide!”
He was already regretting his blabbering earlier.
It was definitely not a good thing for him to get involved in such matters.
At this moment, the First Emperor's gaze gradually turned cold.
A figure suddenly appeared in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer.
Ying Changqing!
The culprit who had caused countless killings in Xianyang City had yet to be punished.
In fact, Ying Zheng did not know how to deal with the other party.
Ying Changqing had committed all kinds of crimes, which seemed to be heinous, but it was proven that he didn't kill the wrong person.
The only mistake he made was that he had skipped Great Qin's laws and used private travel.
This sin can be big or small,
It was all in the blink of an eye.
Now, he heard Ying Changqing's name again.
Thinking of the scene that day, Ying Zheng could not help but narrow his eyes slightly.
He had been suspicious of Ying Changqing since the beginning, but after careful consideration, he realized that Ying Changqing didn't seem to have any motive to kill him.
However, it didn't mean that Ying Changqing was absolutely innocent.
Instantly!
A bolt of lightning flashed across Ying Zheng's mind, and his eyes narrowed.
Ying Changqing's actions in the hall seemed flawless.
In reality, this was the biggest flaw.
He was too calm!
It was as if he had prepared all the answers beforehand.
But the problem was…
What kind of person would prepare an answer in advance and be so flawless?
At the thought of this, a deep look flashed across the First Emperor's eyes.
