LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 62 Zhao Gao Is Imprisoned And Hu Hai Appears
Even the alchemists whose properties were confiscated were being watched secretly. Zhao Gao was ordered to go on patrol, so naturally there were many informants of Ying Zheng around him.
What happened last night was quickly presented to Ying Zheng.
"Zhao Gao secretly let go of more than 20 rebels. The crime cannot be forgiven. He will be imprisoned immediately and will be executed at a later date."
Ying Zheng's voice sounded coldly in the pavilion.
Immediately, Xu Fu and Lu Sheng who were not far away were so frightened that their whole bodies ran cold and their eyes twitched wildly.
What did they hear? Zhao Gao was the most trusted eunuch of the First Emperor before, and now he was actually going to behead him?
This news was as shocking and scary as a bolt from the blue in the minds of Xu Fu and Lu Sheng.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The eunuch who delivered the letter was also frightened and hurriedly agreed to go down and deliver the order.
Xu Fu originally wanted to use some tricks to improve his favorability in front of the First Emperor, but now he was so frightened that his head almost went into the ground.
It comes at the wrong time, I'm afraid Ying Zheng is not in a good mood right now.
"send out!"
Ying Zheng's eyes glanced at Xu Fu and Lu Sheng who were kneeling, and he was not interested in talking to them anymore.
After hearing what Ying Zheng said, two soldiers with armor and swords came forward not far from Xu Fu and Lu Sheng.
Xu Fu and Lu Sheng didn't dare to say anything. They bowed again and quickly stepped back. Accompanied by two soldiers, they left the manor.
Zhao Gao was restless in the county government courtyard of Liu County.
"Is there any trace of the rebel group last night?"
Zhao Gao waved again and asked the police officer outside.
"Sir, everyone has dispersed to look for us, but they are riding horses, and they are probably beyond the limits of Liu County now.
The head hunter said in a low voice.
Hearing You Jiao's words about arresting the head, Zhao Gao became more and more agitated. He waved his sleeves to let him go down, and then looked at the sky.
"Master Hu Hai, if you count the time, you should be arriving in Pei County soon!"
Zhao Gao felt a little uneasy in his heart at this time. Under the hostage of the rebels, letting so many people go was a big or small matter.
To put it more seriously, letting the rebels go is like treason. This crime is enough to be beheaded and involve relatives.
At the most minor level, if someone is coerced, has no other choice, or is guilty of dereliction of duty, he may be devalued, retained, or dismissed and demoted to a commoner.
It depends on how His Majesty wants to decide.
In addition, among the many officials who accompanied Ying Zheng on patrol, many did not like Zhao Gao and might take this opportunity to make trouble.
This matter could not be hidden, and so many people were watching, so Zhao Gao personally wrote a memorial to explain the matter and begged the First Emperor to punish him.
"The memorial should be delivered to His Majesty at noon. If Mr. Hu Hai is here, he will definitely be able to protect me."
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao quickly called one of his confidants.
"You Da, go to Peixian County and wait for Mr. Hu Hai to drive away. You must tell the whole story clearly and let Mr. Hu Hai intercede for me.
Zhao Gao gave detailed instructions to this confidant.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely bring the message to you."
You Da immediately promised Zhao Gao and bowed solemnly.
After Zhao Gao finished explaining, he quickly left the house.
"I hope it has some effect!"
Zhao Gao thought secretly.
With Ying Zheng's love for Hu Hai and his previous reliance and trust in Zhao Gao, this may not hurt too much.
In the afternoon, when Zhao Gao was wondering whether Ying Zheng would be angry if he saw the contents of his memorial.
Suddenly, dense footsteps began to be heard in the backyard of the county government office.
Zhao Gao raised his eyes and saw two neat and solemn rows of elite soldiers leading the way, leading the way to the courtyard and located on both sides.
At this time, a eunuch Zhao Xi, whom Zhao Gao was familiar with and who was also serving Ying Zheng but had some problems with him, walked in.
At this time, he was holding the imperial edict in his hand, and behind him were the county magistrates, county magistrates, county lieutenants and others who were following him step by step.
"Zhao Xi, why is it you!"
Seeing Zhao Xi come in, Zhao Gao's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he had a bad feeling.
"Zhao Gao let go of more than 20 rebel thieves. His crime cannot be forgiven. He will be imprisoned immediately and will be executed at a later date."
Zhao Xi looked jokingly at Zhao Gao, who had once suppressed him and made things difficult for him, and couldn't help but hold up the imperial edict and read out the decree of the First Emperor.
"No, impossible!"
After hearing Zhao Xi's words, Zhao Gao trembled all over, his face was full of disbelief, his eyes widened and he said in horror.
"Come here, take down Zhao Gao!"
Zhao Xi ordered.
Immediately, several soldiers came forward and escorted Zhao Gao up. Zhao Gao struggled in pain.
"Impossible, Zhao Xi, you are pretending to convey the decree, I don't believe that Your Majesty will kill me..."
Zhao Gao shouted in terror, but to no avail, and was dragged down soon.
Just as Zhao Gao was being dragged down, outside Pei County, a cavalry team of over a hundred people was slowly coming towards the city gate of Pei County.
It can be seen that in the middle of hundreds of capable cavalry, there is a luxurious carriage being guarded by them.
"It's the Imperial City Guards. The man in the luxurious car must be Young Master Hu Hai."
At this time, Zhao Gao's confidant You Da was guarding outside the city gate. When he saw the Imperial City Guards escorting someone over, he immediately understood that the person inside was most likely Mr. Hu Hai.
He immediately stepped forward to stop the team, shouting that he had been ordered by Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, to come look for Mr. Hu Hai.
The soldiers who originally wanted to drive away You Da stopped immediately after hearing his call. After all, Zhao Gaonai is a popular eunuch beside His Majesty, and everyone knows that he has a good relationship with Master Hu Hai.
Suddenly the entire team stopped temporarily.
"Let him come closer!"
On the carriage, a young man's voice suddenly came.
Immediately, the soldiers around him were ordered to separate slightly to make way for You Da to approach the carriage.
At this time, the carriage curtain opened, and a young man with fair skin, feminine features, and a somewhat cold temperament looked at You Da.
Hu Hai recognized You Da and had indeed seen this person beside Zhao Lei.
"Why did Zhao Gao ask you to come?"
Hu Hai asked with a slight frown on his brows.
"Master Hu Hai, something happened to Mr. Zhao..."
Then You Da told everything, and Hu Hai nodded.
This matter is not difficult. His father already favors Zhao Gao, and with what he mentioned, the most Zhao Gao can do is to remove him from his post and investigate.
If it doesn't work, he will be transferred away for a while. When the time comes, he will behave well in front of his father and mention Zhao Gao, and he will most likely be able to come back to his father.
"I know, let's wait for the news!"
Hu Hai lowered the car curtain. ?
You Da bowed deeply and immediately withdrew from the guard team, watching the team gradually enter the city gate.
