The next morning.
The sky was red, and the first ray of sunlight scattered on the blood-stained ground, making it look like a ghost's land.
The pungent smell of blood lingered in the air for a long time!
On the silent street.
A series of messy footsteps suddenly sounded.
A few Qin officials in charge of security in the city mustered their courage and pushed open the door of the Zhao Manor.
In the next second…
They were deeply shocked by the bloody scene in front of them.
Zhao Gao's mansion, which was bustling with activity yesterday, had become deathly silent. There were only cold headless corpses lying on the ground.
The entire front courtyard of the Zhao Manor was almost filled with corpses.
This scene…
It was like hell on earth!
The Qin officials looked at each other and felt a chill run down their spines. There was only one thought in their minds.
"Damn it!"
"Something big has happened!"
"A heaven-shaking matter!"
"Hurry up and report to His Majesty…"
…………
…………
Qin Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace.
The officials were discussing in the hall when suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the golden hall.
The officials couldn't help but turn around to look. They saw the Imperial Army Commander Zhang Han rushing over with a panicked expression. He had forgotten to take care of his sword and was about to charge into the hall.
"Stop!"
The guards outside the hall felt their hearts skip a beat, and they quickly tilted their spears forward to block Zhang Han's path.
Zhang Han quickly took off his sword and his clogs. He only wore cloth socks and ran into the hall. He knelt on the ground and said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, something big has happened!"
The ministers 'hearts thumped as they looked at each other, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.
"What is it?"
Ying Zheng raised his head and glanced at Zhang Han with dissatisfaction.
As the commander of the Imperial Army, he actually lost his composure in the court meeting hall. If it was any other petty ruler, Zhang Han would have lost half of his life immediately.
"Your Majesty, it's Second Young Master. He's in big trouble!”
Zhang Han forced himself to calm down and said in a trembling voice.
As soon as he received the report, he immediately went to the Zhao Manor.
That scene…
It was still unforgettable!
Even though Zhang Han was used to seeing life and death, he was deeply shocked by the tragic scene in front of him.
After confirming the news, he rushed into the palace without stopping. Even though he had extraordinary strength, he was so tired that he could not breathe.
"Changqing?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
An ordinary figure immediately appeared in his mind.
This son of his had never had a sense of existence. He was so low-key that he was like an invisible person.
If Ying Changqing had not asked him for the task of conquering Qi a few months ago, Ying Zheng would have almost forgotten about his son.
With such a low-profile personality, what kind of trouble could he cause to scare Zhang Han to such an extent?
The courtiers also looked at each other in bewilderment.
Now, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was at his peak, and the position of the Crown Prince was still empty. As such, Great Qin's various princes and officials had done a detailed research.
Among them, the one with the highest voice and the highest reputation was the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su.
Correspondingly, Ying Changqing was not good at literature or martial arts, so he was naturally ignored by everyone.
Now that they heard that Young Master Changqing had caused a huge disaster, it was as if it was a fantasy story that was hard to imagine.
The gazes of the officials all landed on Zhang Han, the doubt in their eyes unconcealed.
Some people even started to suspect that Zhang Han had lost his mind and started to spout nonsense.
Zhang Han quickly explained.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Second Young Master, he, he…led his troops to barge into the Zhao Manor at night yesterday and killed Zhao Gao!”
Boom!
The moment these words were spoken, it was like a spring thunder exploding in everyone's ears. All the ministers were shocked!
"What?"
"There's actually such a thing!"
At this moment, even Ying Zheng could not sit still anymore, and rose from his throne.
No matter how rich his imagination was, he would never have thought that such a thing would happen.
Zhao Gao had once violated the laws of Qin, and Ying Zheng knew it better than anyone else.
Back then, Meng Yi had vehemently demanded that he execute Zhao Gao, and the evidence of his crimes was still stored in the royal study.
However, considering that Zhao Gao had followed him for many years and was loyal and hardworking, Ying Zheng finally gave the order to pardon Zhao Gao after much consideration.
This also made the old ministers of Great Qin understand that he, Ying Zheng, was not an emperor who would mistreat his subjects.
Everyone could work hard to make Great Qin even more stable.
However, who would have thought that Ying Changqing, who had always been ordinary, could actually do such a big thing!
Ying Zheng's painstaking efforts were completely wasted.
"Your Majesty, this subject has personally investigated this matter. It is absolutely true!”
"Moreover, Second Young Master didn't just kill Zhao Gao. He didn't even spare a single member of Zhao Gao's clan!”
Zhang Han braced himself and reported.
He had never thought that Ying Changqing would have such a strong killing intent!
Zhao Gao's entire clan!
All destroyed?
He didn't even let his family off?
After the shock, many officials cursed Ying Changqing for being cruel and heartless.
At this moment…
Ying Zheng, who had always kept his emotions to himself, had veins popping out on his forehead, and an uncontrollable fury flashed across his eyes.
"Bang!"
Ying Zheng slammed the table and stood up.
His voice grew louder and softer as he roared.
"How dare you!~~"
"Ever since Great Qin was established, it has never experienced such a shocking thing!”
None of the ministers dared to show themselves.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was like an angry lion, and no one dared to provoke him.
This news was too shocking.
No matter how shrewd Ying Zheng was, he couldn't help but feel furious!
"Pass down the decree! Immediately summon Young Master Changqing and tell him to come and see me immediately!”
