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

Chapter 89

Chapter 89

In the palace.

Right Prime Minister Feng Quji and Tongwuhou Wang Ben are currently discussing the military situation with Yingzheng.

"Your Majesty, it's autumn. According to the usual practice in previous years, at this time, the Xiongnu, Donghu and Dayue clan will send troops south to invade the frontier and plunder for the winter. Since autumn this year, the grassland has been severely drought, and the cattle and sheep of the Xiongnu They have died a lot, and they will be even crazier in order to survive, so it can be deduced that there is not much time left for us."

Feng Quji came from Xianyang. At the moment, he was busy with travel and dust. Although he was a little tired, he was in good spirits.

Li Sifeng Quji is one in Xianyang and the other is beside Yingzheng. The two support each other and form the right arm of Qin Huang Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng sat behind the desk with a pen in one hand and a letter in front of him.

Here, Ying Zheng was preparing to take Feng Quji's words, when there was a sound of notification outside the study.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Lord Dunrui asks to see you."

Putting down the brush in his hand, Ying Zheng raised his head and waved his sleeves, "Xuan."

After Ying Zheng's words fell, he suddenly walked in from outside the study.

"Chen is weak, see Your Majesty."

He gave a weak salute.

"You don't need to be too polite, you came to see me at night, but what's the matter?" Ying Zheng looked weakly and asked.

Dun nodded weakly and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, a major event happened in the city just now. The sheriff of Shangjun was assassinated and died at home. The murderer is most likely... Zhao Gang."

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng, who was sitting behind the desk, frowned.

When he entered the city today, he saw Zhao Gang and Zhao Xing chatting and laughing, and he didn't hear that Zhao Gang had any feud with Zhao Xing, the governor of Shangjun. Why did he suddenly kill him tonight?

Wang Ben on the side was also taken aback.

"But it happened for a reason, and where is Zhao Gang now?" Yinzhou asked with a frown.

"After Zhao Gang killed the man, he didn't leave the sheriff's mansion." After speaking, he paused and looked sideways at Wang Ben next to him.

Wang Ben tilted his head, thinking that what you look at me has nothing to do with me.

But in the next second, Wang Ben almost slapped himself hard.

"After Zhao Gang killed someone, Wang Li, the head of the supply battalion, protected Zhao Gang, and the city guards couldn't enter. They are now confronting each other at the county guard's mansion!" said Dun Ruo, clasping his hands.

Wang Ben's face turned green almost instantly.

This rebel!
For the serious crime of murder, he dared to add it to it. Could it be that the Wang clan really had too many heads to cut off?

Besides, the person who died was still a sheriff, if you get involved, not only will you not be able to help Zhao Gang, but you may also implicate the Wang family.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to arrest this traitor and wait for your majesty to deal with it." Wang Ben said with a livid face.

However, Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to speak.

He knew very well that Zhao Gang was by no means a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately.

But he is a person who is desperate when his head is hot.

When Luo Wang assassinated him, his revenge made it difficult for Luo Wang to recover.

If it was really Zhao Xing who annoyed him and made him fly into a rage and kill.

I'm afraid I really can't blame him.

"Your Majesty, if it is really Zhao Gang who killed the man, I'm afraid we can't tolerate it now. Otherwise, the people will spread the word, and our Daqin legal system will be hard to survive."

Feng Quji cupped his hands and said.

Ying Zheng's face suddenly darkened. What Feng Quji said was indeed true.

One side is the rule of law, the other side is talent.

Ying Zheng had a hard time choosing what to do.

Dunwei looked at Ying Zheng's hesitation, thought for a moment and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, no matter what the matter is, in order to prevent the situation from expanding, we must first take Zhao Gang into custody."

"I am willing to lead the army to go." Wang Ben vowed.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, remember not to hurt Zhao Gang and the people around."

"promise!"

Inside Zhao Xing's mansion, Wang Li was protecting Zhao Gang, carefully guarding the surrounding guards with a long sword in his hand.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

Zhao Gang looked at Wang Li with a pale face.

He is really not afraid of enemies like gods, but teammates like pigs.

If Wang Li didn't come, the guards would definitely not be able to stop him, and he could leave quickly without anyone knowing his identity.

And if you leave by yourself, you can find evidence to prove your innocence.

And when Wang Li came, he not only blocked himself in the mansion.

Reporting yourself in public is equivalent to letting everyone know who you are.

"I'm very good."

Wang Li patted his chest and said, "Uncle, don't worry, with me here, I want to see who dares to hurt you."

They swear by it here, and the faces of Zhao Xing's family members on the opposite side changed slightly.

They have also heard about the relationship between Wang Ben and Zhao Gang.

Now that the murderer is Zhao Gang, they were really worried for a while that His Majesty the Emperor would deliberately protect him.

If so, Zhao Xing died in vain.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, a group of soldiers quickly rushed into the mansion.

Wang Ben walked in with a livid face.

"Father!" Wang Li shouted excitedly.

When Wang Ben saw this silly son, he slapped him in the face in a fit of anger.

Wang Li, who was waiting for Wang Ben's praise, was suddenly stunned.

"Nizi, you are courting death!"

Wang Li covered his face in grievance, looked at Wang Ben in front of him and wanted to defend himself, but seeing his father's anger, he could only hold back his grievance in the end.

Zhao Gang sighed softly, Wang Ben's actions had already made him understand a lot.

It seems that this time it is really difficult for him to get rid of the crime of murder.

"What is His Majesty's will?"

Wang Ben said with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "Put it in prison first, and deal with it after everything is investigated."

Zhao Gang calmly accepted this fact, turned around and prepared to go out.

Wang Ben was a little surprised to see him so calm.

Zhao Gang was as fierce as a fire, and he dared to stand up to the court.Now, even if someone is killed, it is impossible to bow his head and be captured like this.

Is he afraid?

"Don't you want to say something?"

Zhao Gang smiled lightly and said: "The matter has come to this point, even if I say it is useless, the matter is clear to Wang Li, brother only needs to ask him to find out. Now, I can only ask my brother to help me find evidence to prove my truth earlier clean."

Wang Ben nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers went up to support Zhao Gang and left the scene quickly.
