Chapter 90
"what happened?"

Wang Ben looked at his son in front of him, his eyes were full of anger.

When he thought of sending Zhao Gang to prison himself, Wang Ben returned to the camp with such anger that he vented it directly on his son.

"Zhao Xing is a secret agent of the Yin Yang family."

"what!"

Wang Ben was stunned.

"Uncle saw through Zhao Xing's disguise, so he planned to spy on Zhao Xing's words during the banquet. Just in case, he asked me to respond outside the mansion, but he didn't expect that it would end up like this."

Wang Ben's face darkened suddenly, he paced back and forth in the room, thought for a moment and asked, "Who else knows about this?"

Wang Li shook his head.

No one knows the most troublesome.

Zhao Xing died, Wang Li was outside, and there was no one in the room except Zhao Gang.

In this case, no one can prove whether Zhao Gang committed murder.

"Father, how will His Majesty deal with uncle?"

"According to the law of Qin."

Wang Li staggered back a few steps and collapsed on the ground.

Qin Law has a saying that the murderer pays with his life.

Even the prince and grandson are no exception.

Although Zhao Gang is a pillar of the country and deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, he is still a courtier, and it is absolutely impossible to abolish the Qin Law because of him.

"Is there any room for maneuver?"

Wang Ben sighed softly, his brows and eyes full of helplessness.

"The only possibility now is to find witnesses to prove that the murderer was not Zhao Gang. Other than that, there is no other way."

Hearing this, Wang Li stood up abruptly and walked out.

"Where are you going?"

"I went to look for evidence, and I don't believe that in the huge prefect's mansion, no one else saw how Zhao Xing died."

"Nonsense!" Wang Ben scolded angrily.

"If there were witnesses, Zhao Gang would not sit back and wait to die. If he was really wronged, then there are only two possibilities before him. One is that Zhao Xing committed suicide. If this is the case, it has nothing to do with Zhao Gang; But if it’s another kind of thing…”

Wang Ben didn't say anything, but Wang Li also knew what the other was.

If someone in the house really killed Zhao Xing, then it is impossible for Zhao Gang to ignore him.With his strength, it is absolutely a breeze to stop the killer.

"Are we just watching uncle being executed?"

Wang Ben glanced at his son, and said in silence for a long time, "We have to see how His Majesty will deal with the current situation."

Inside the palace, Dun Ruo held a roll of bamboo slips and looked at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I have collected the confessions of all the people in Zhao Taishou's mansion, and the case is now closed. Please preview it, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"I don't look at it, you just tell me, did Zhao Gang kill someone?"

I was speechless for a moment.

"It's hard for me to say. According to witnesses at the scene, when they heard the voice entering the main hall, Zhao Xing had already fallen to the ground, and Ke Qing was beside him."

"You mean, no one saw Zhao Gang kill someone?" A hint of joy appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

"No one can prove that Zhao Gang didn't kill anyone."

The weak words completely extinguished Ying Zheng's hope.

There was some dissatisfaction in the eyes of this eternal emperor, but he soon relaxed again.

"Do you really want me to kill Zhao Gang?"

He sighed weakly and said: "If your majesty doesn't want to kill him, you can directly pardon him. I can guarantee that this matter will be done in a leak-proof manner, and all those who know will never spread it. It's just... Zhao Gang will not be able to appear again in the future." Above the court."

Ying Zheng knew very well what it meant to be weak.

But killing doesn't solve the problem.

At the very least, killing people alone won't do the trick when it comes to hiding things from others.

And the most precious thing about Zhao Gang is that he can serve the empire, if he can't appear in the court.What value could Zhao Gang have?
"Forget it, put this matter on hold for now, let me think about it."

Dun Ruo took the order to leave, Ying Zheng said again: "Now that Zhao Gang is in prison, you can go to see him instead of me, remember to bring some wine and vegetables, and toast him for me."

He said weakly: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

After taking a few steps, Dunrui suddenly thought of something and asked Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, when Zhao Gang was sent to prison, did the lord instruct the jailer to treat him well?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him since he was imprisoned, how can I tell you..."

"Oops!"

Dun Ruo quickly ran out, Ying Zheng also came back to his senses, his face changed drastically: "No, it was my negligence, Zhao Gang is going to suffer in prison."

……

in prison.

Heart-breaking screams circled in the prison and could not dissipate for a long time.

"This kid's skin is really thick, and three canes have been pulled off. I am tired, but he can still hold on."

"What's the hurry, we have plenty of time, I want to see if this kid's skin is thicker or our cane is tougher. Kill the prefect, I will avenge the prefect."

A bucket of bone-piercing cold water splashed down on his face, and Zhao Gang woke up faintly.At this moment, he was tied to the torture rack, and his whole body was already covered with cuts and bruises, and there were bright red whip marks everywhere.

The jailer with a sinister face used a whip to prop up Zhao Gang's chin and said ferociously: "Boy, I advise you to recruit him early to avoid suffering so much. Governor Zhao has been kind to us, but we haven't repaid him yet, and now you are Kill him, we just took this opportunity to repay his kindness."

Zhao Gang sneered and said: "I, Zhao Gang, never thought that I, Zhao Gang, would also have the day when Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs. I advise you to put down your whips, otherwise you will definitely regret it later."

The jailer shook his whip and cursed: "This kid's mouth is still so hard, I want to see if it's your mouth or my whip."

As he spoke, the whip fell on Zhao Gang's body again. Zhao Gang used the Nine Suns Divine Art to protect the vital parts of his body, gritted his teeth, endured severe pain again and again, and kept cursing in his heart.

The cane couldn't hold on anymore and broke again. The leading jailer replaced it with a new one. Just as he was about to continue, a voice yelled, "What are you doing, stop!"
