The waiter kept begging for mercy, but the murderous intent in Wu Gou's eyes hadn't diminished by half!

"The black armor has arrived! With your strength, you can't escape!"

"If you are caught, and you are interrogated to say anything bad to the family, you will have to be wronged!"

Wu Gou sneered, and suddenly slapped the shopkeeper and waiter.

boom!

A strong wind blew over the bodies of the two, and the yellow spirit light burst instantly.

Do it all.

Wu Gou looked at the doormen who were fighting with the black armor soldiers on the street, and jumped out of the window to the back alley.

on the street!

"kill!"

The black armor soldiers of the Great Qin Empire fought with a group of disciples.

Their strength is strong, but in the face of the Daqin Black Armor, they just struggled for a while!

But for Wu Gou, it was enough.

When Li Si led the black soldiers to search the store, apart from the two corpses left on the ground, there was no trace of Wu Gou...

"Prime Minister! Wu Gou jumped out of the window on the second floor and left!"

The black armor quickly stepped forward to report.

Li Si frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a cold voice, "Order the whole city to search, and don't let any suspicious people go!"

"Here!"

……

Boundless night!

The night wind blows!

Wu Gou fled in panic to a dilapidated manor outside Xianyang City.

This is a hiding place hidden outside the Wu Mansion, and it is impossible for ordinary people to find out.

But right now!He was hunted everywhere in Xianyang City of Daqin.

In the face of the imperial espionage forces, although this place is temporarily safe, it is not a long-term solution.

Da da da!

It's time!

There was a sound of gentle footsteps outside the door, and Wu Gou looked outside vigilantly.

"who!"

After the words fell, a black figure slowly appeared in front of Wu Gou.

The sleeve robe is wide, with a majestic face, and his hands are behind his back.

It was his elder brother, Wu Su, the head of the Wu family!

Wu Gou could not help but be overjoyed when he saw who was coming.

"Big brother!"

"I knew that you would come to save me. I implore my eldest brother to secretly send someone to escort me out of the Great Qin Empire, whether it be to South Vietnam or the northern grassland..."

At this moment, he couldn't restrain his excitement, and his body was trembling.

"You can't leave for the sake of the family!"

"what?!"

Wu Gou exclaimed, "Brother, why?"

At this moment, he suddenly shuddered, staggered back a few steps, and said with a look of surprise: "Brother, do you want to kill me? I'm your real brother!"

"Hey!"

Wu Su let out a long sigh, but his killing intent never weakened.

"For the sake of the family, as the head of the family, I must do this!"

Feeling the firmness in Wu Su's words, Wu Gou hurriedly knelt down and said, "Big Brother, Big Brother, please forgive me!"

"I have worked hard for the family, and I have shed blood for the family!"

"The Wu family can't treat me like this!"

Facing Wu Gou's wailing and begging, Wu Su's eyes flashed with helplessness!

How could he not understand that Wu Gou worked hard for the Wu family all his life!

but!For the entire Guanzhong clan, and even more for the countless people in the Wu family in Guanzhong.

He must die!

Otherwise, not to mention that the Great Qin Empire would not let the Wu family go, the entire Guanzhong clan would not let the Wu family go!

Wu Su shook his head, closed his eyes, and said with a cold face: "You die alone in exchange for the safety of the whole family. Brother will try to protect your family as much as possible!"

"Otherwise, you are not decent, so don't blame the eldest brother for helping you to be decent. The entire Wu family will attack you, and even your wife and children will not survive!"

After saying that, Wu Su turned around and walked outside the manor, but he didn't leave in a hurry.

About an hour later, there was an unwilling roar from the dilapidated manor.

Then everything returned to calm again.

And Wu Su's figure has already left at some point...

The next day!

The Mansion of the Eighth Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty!

Not long after Ying Ziye had his breakfast, a servant walked up to him quickly and said, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister is asking to see you."

"Ok?"

"Please come in!"

"Here!"

The servant bowed away.

After a moment or so, Li Si hurried to the main hall, bowed and said: "Your Highness, Wu Gou committed suicide outside Xianyang City and left a suicide note!"

"On the suicide note, he explained his crimes."

"Ok?"

Ying Ziye was startled, and said with a sneer, "Interesting!"

"Yesterday, I also ordered my disciples to entangle with the black armor soldiers of the Great Qin Empire to buy myself time to escape..."

Then he took Wu Gou's suicide note, and on the silk cloth, it was stained red with blood, describing a long speech——

The humble minister Wu Gou was terrified, knowing that he had committed a catastrophe, which was beyond description.

Taking advantage of his power, he privately sold salt and iron and other things prohibited by the empire.

And use Shuixiaojin to steal food and pay...

"Your Highness, this Wu Gou obviously wants to die and take all the crimes on himself."

Li Si frowned, and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Ying Ziye nodded slightly and said, "In this way, Wu Gou's death will naturally not threaten the entire Wu family, or even the Guanzhong clan!"

"Thinking about it, it must be that he should have met someone last night and said something to him!"

"That's why I chose to die, and there will be no proof!"

Li Si nodded agreeingly, and pondered: "Your Highness, once Wu Gou dies, all the clues are obviously broken!"

"If you want to investigate this further, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult."

Ying Ziye smiled, stood up slowly and said, "Don't worry, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge!"

"Let's go up and have a look first!"

"Here!"

……

An hour later!

Xianyang Palace!

In the early dynasty, the first emperor ascended the court and sat on a high platform.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together to report state affairs one by one.

On the high platform, the first emperor sat on the dragon chair, not angry but majestic.

It's Liz!

Li Si was about to leave the imperial court and was about to report the matter of Wu Gou to the First Emperor.

"His Majesty!"

It's time!

A voice sounded.

Before Li Si could report the matter, Wu Su walked out of the court first, and knelt down on the main hall.

"The humble minister Wu Su pleaded guilty to His Majesty the First Emperor, and only then did he learn of Wu Gou's mistakes. The humble minister failed to restrain his second brother Wu Gou, causing him to commit all kinds of evil deeds and committed the capital crime of the Great Qin Empire!"

"According to my investigation, my second brother ran a shop, sold private salt and private iron, and even forcibly embezzled the land of the people of the Great Qin Empire. The mistakes he committed were serious and heinous!"

"On behalf of the whole family, I am willing to be punished by His Majesty, and will do everything possible to find out the money that Wu Gou embezzled, so as to make up for the interests of the country that I have embezzled!"

Wu Su burst into tears, and his righteousness was overwhelming.

It seems that he really didn't know, felt ashamed for Wu Gou, and grieved for the damage to the interests of the Great Qin Empire.

However, smart people and those in the know can see that Wu Su is just a trick.

When things are revealed, there is no way to hide them.

When it breaks, it breaks!

"Humph!"

"Wu Su, you..."

Li Si's tone was slightly angry, and he was about to criticize Wu Su.

But before Li Si finished speaking, Ying Ziye reached out and grabbed him, shook his head, and said calmly: "Patriarch Wu has a heart of repentance, and the criminal has been executed."

"What's more, the Guanzhong clan has made great contributions to the Great Qin Empire, so I implore Father to punish him lightly!"

After speaking, Ying Ziye cupped his hands towards the high platform.

"what!"

All the ministers in the court were shocked.

Li Si and Wu Su were even more puzzled!

The First Emperor looked down at the civil and military officials under the high platform and stared at Ying Ziye, also a little surprised.

A little bit!

The First Emperor's face was not angry and prestige, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Since the criminals have been punished, I will not pursue this matter any more!"

"What's more, what Ye'er said is not unreasonable!"

"But! Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot escape. Order Wu Su to be confined for three months to repent!"

"Half a year's salary!"

The voice echoed heavily in the hall.

All the officials were shocked!
