Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 409
Chapter 415
The dim oil lamps in the side hall flickered on and off.

Only Ying Zheng and Li Si remained in the huge side hall.

Zheng Guo, Wei Liao and Feng Quji were all ordered by Ying Zheng to leave the hall.Some things are not as good as you know.Thinking about it, Zheng Guo, Wei Liao, and Feng Quji must know about it.

And in the absence of outsiders, just Ying Zheng and Li Si, it would be easier to say something.

After all, there are some things that only Ying Zheng and Li Si know about Daqin today.

Ying Zheng sat in the lobby and looked at Li Si quietly.

"Your Majesty..." Li Si finally couldn't hold back and sobbed.

"Prime Minister, don't rush to say anything!" Ying Zheng interrupted Li Si and said, "It's just you and me now! There's no need to hide it! I'll ask you to answer, okay?"

"Old minister obeys!"

"I want to know if the Prime Minister arranged what happened tonight." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si who was kneeling on the ground, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is aware that even the courage of the old minister dare not assassinate His Majesty." Li Si said in a panic.

"So, what happened tonight has nothing to do with the prime minister?" Ying Zheng was not too surprised. Even if Li Si did it, Li Si would definitely not admit it.What's more, now Yingzheng has no evidence at all!

"Your Majesty is aware!"

"Well, let's put this matter aside for the time being. You used to be one of the most trusted courtiers under the father, and now you have the position of prime minister, as well as the position of Taifu, the head of all officials, one person under ten thousand Above that, what else do you want? Do you want to learn from your benefactor Lu Buwei?"

Ying Zheng's faint voice sounded in the silent side hall hall, without any emotion.

It was only at the last sentence, "Is it possible to imitate your benefactor Lu Buwei?" Ying Zheng's voice finally had such a slight fluctuation, with a trace of coldness.

All the secrets were revealed by Ying Zheng without any concealment.

If there were anyone else nearby who heard what Ying Zheng said, they would be frightened and go crazy immediately.

After all, if any of what Ying Zheng said spreads out, the whole of Daqin will immediately fall into chaos.

However, now that it is said from Ying Zheng's mouth, it gives people a sense of "it should be like this".

Li Si knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like garlic. At this moment, no matter what he said, it seemed inappropriate!In other words, Li Si didn't know what to say or what to say at the moment.

"Okay, you don't need to act like a child! Let me ask you, how many spies have you planted in Xianyang City?" Ying Zheng asked calmly after changing his voice.

"Go back to Your Majesty, how many people are there in total. The old minister doesn't know! But when the old minister returns to the mansion, he will send all the details and the list of dead men that the old minister has to the government office."

"You have a lot of detailed works in Xianyang Palace, right?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and let out a cold snort.

"Return to Your Majesty! There is no detailed work in Xianyang Palace! Your Majesty has clearly checked!" Li Si said in a panic.

"So many meticulous work and dead soldiers, where did the money, food and training come from?" Ying Zheng continued to ask, noncommittal to Li Si's words.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the secret agents are all untrained people. It's just that the Skynet secret agents cover everything from the officials of the court to the traffickers. Since the beginning of its establishment, the daily needs of the money have been provided by the veterans from the prime minister's mansion. The Shanghai Planning and Planning Administration secretly withholds part of the world's taxes for expenditure."

Li Si was very aware of his current situation, so everything he said was [-]% true and [-]% false.

Although being greedy for ink is also a crime, it is still much smaller than the crime of assassination.

However, Ying Zheng was not obsessed with Li Si.

No matter what happened, the outcome of what happened tonight was already doomed in Ying Zheng's heart.

"Do you still have something to hide from me?" Ying Zheng walked down the lobby slowly and stood beside Li Si.

"Old minister dare not!"

Ying Zheng squatted down slowly, and said with a low body: "Today, I believe you for the time being. However, if I find out that what happened tonight is related to you! Li Si, you are harming your entire Li family. I will give you another chance. I will ask you again, what happened tonight! Does it have anything to do with you?

Every word in Ying Zheng's words was like a sledgehammer, hitting Li Si's heart heavily.

The emperor has not addressed himself directly by his name for a long time.

Li Si didn't know if Ying Zheng had really grasped something, or if he was lying to himself with words.

Obviously, the emperor's patience has reached its limit.The assassination tonight has really touched the emperor's rebellious scales, and the emperor will definitely investigate this matter to the end.

However, Li Si didn't believe it now.

"Your Majesty is clearly aware!" Li Si gritted his teeth and cried.

"Huh!" Ying Zheng stood up and strode up the lobby.Turning his back to Li Si, he said, "Stand back! You have uncovered the fact that you concealed the spy, and I will order Dunwei to follow you back to the mansion to retrieve the list."

"The old minister obeys the order."

"When you leave this gate today, you and I only have the friendship of a monarch and a minister. Li Si! Do you know?" When Li Skankan walked to the gate of the side hall, Ying Zheng, who had his back to Li Si, said suddenly .

Ying Zheng's words without the slightest emotion echoed in the empty lobby.

Li Si, who was about to reach out to open the door, was shocked when he heard Ying Zheng's words!The skinny hand that was stretched out to open the door suddenly stopped.

The silent hall.

Dim lights.

Ying Zheng stood in the lobby with his back facing Li Si's straight back and hands behind his back, and Li Si stood hunched over with his back facing Hu Hai at the entrance of the lobby.

The short distance of dozens of steps is between the monarch and his ministers, but it seems to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Hearing the emperor's last words, Li Si suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.

In addition, this time, the emperor called him by his name directly for the second time in less than a cup of tea tonight.

Although he knew that this was Ying Zheng's ultimatum, he dared not admit it.

Because he knew what would happen if he admitted it.

Li Si turned his body tremblingly, and bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng, who was facing him with his hands behind his back.After a long time, Li Si wept and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the old minister will leave!"

Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng's body trembled slightly with his hands behind his back, and then returned to normal.

He still didn't admit it.

"Crench!"

Li Si pulled hard with his skinny palms, and the heavy door of the side hall slowly opened with a tooth-sore sound.

The bright moonlight like mercury poured into the lobby instantly.

Ying Zheng watched as Li Si stumbled away.

Forgiving is easy.It's harder to trust again.

He understood, and so did Li Si.

The palace where Yingzheng is now is just an inconspicuous uninhabited palace among the dozens of palaces in the huge Xianyang Palace.

Under the flickering oil lamp, Ying Zheng stood alone in the dark hall.Under the flickering oil lamp, Ying Zheng's face was also cloudy.

In fact, everything that happened in Xianyang Palace tonight has become extremely simple.

Since Li Si made his own choice, he can't be blamed.
