Da Qin: Father!I really just want to protect myself!

Ying Zheng:. . . . .

······

Back at the palace, Ying Zheng summoned Wang Jian directly.

Entering the palace, Wang Jian cupped his hands, "The veteran sees Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and his eyes fell back on the memorial in front of him, "There is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Wang Jian thanked him, he stood up and looked at Ying Zheng, "The old minister wants to see His Majesty too!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng also said directly, "Let's talk about your business first."

After the words fell, Wang Jian cupped his hands, "Among those who were arrested, some of them confessed that they were assassins."

After the words fell, Ying Zheng's eyes changed slightly, "Who?"

Wang Jian cupped his hands, "It's the man named Tieniu who has admitted that everything is directed by him, and is willing to apologize with death!"

Ying Zheng continued to flip through the memorial in his hand, and asked lightly, "Do you think that man looks like an assassin?"

Hearing this, Wang Jian frowned, "The time, place and event are all right, as if it was something he experienced personally. His suspicion is indeed great."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "That's it."

Then he was silent for a moment, then continued to ask: "Are there any suspects named Zhang Liang?"

Hearing this, Wang Jian's expression changed slightly. After careful consideration, he nodded, "Yes! It's a young man."

Ying Zheng was also taken aback, "You actually remember?"

This time there were more than ten suspects, and Wang Jian remembered Zhang Liang clearly, which surprised Ying Zheng.

Wang Jian also replied truthfully: "That guy is a man of integrity. He didn't say a word when he was tortured, and he made his whereabouts very clear. It seems that he has nothing to do with this matter."

After the words fell, Ying Zheng's gaze changed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, "A guy with backbone..."

After a while, he put down the memorial in his hand and stood up, "Take me to meet him."

Wang Jian was taken aback by Ying Zheng's request.

But since Ying Zheng had spoken, he didn't ask any more questions, but just agreed, "Yes!"

As he walked towards the prison, Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed.

It seems to be a tricky guy, but I need to use more snacks.

Chapter 231 Do You Want To Follow The Widow?

Under Wang Jian's leadership, Ying Zheng walked slowly into the prison.

There was a pungent smell all around, and in the dim room, a young man was sitting there leaning against the wall, with food beside him, but he didn't seem to have moved at all.

Perhaps because of the severe torture, the young man's body was covered with scars.

Seeing Ying Zheng walking in, Zhang Liang opened his eyes slightly, but only gave Ying Zheng a cold look.

On the other hand, Wang Jian frowned immediately, and angrily said: "Boy! Why don't you salute quickly when you see His Majesty?!"

Zhang Liang snorted coldly, but didn't say a word, as if he didn't want to pay attention at all.

Seeing this, Wang Jian's eyes turned cold, and he said directly: "It seems that the old man will teach you the rules!"

As he said that, Wang Jian was about to step forward to deal with Zhang Liang, but was stopped by Ying Zheng.

Then Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Zhang Liang, "What do you think about the assassination of the widow?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang frowned slightly, and his expression couldn't help becoming a little puzzled.

He didn't understand why Ying Zheng asked himself this question. After all, he was a suspect now.

But he also speculated whether Ying Zheng had discovered something, so he came to ask this question to test himself.

Faced with this question, Zhang Liang did not panic, and said calmly, "Your Majesty is joking. Many officials don't know the whole story of this matter. How can a villain, a commoner, know such a secret matter?"

Regarding these remarks, Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Zhang Liang thoughtfully, "Yes, someone has confessed, and you have successfully cleared the suspicion, so what do you know?"

After the words fell, Zhang Liang remained silent.

He lowered his head slightly, trying not to let his eyes meet Ying Zheng, so as not to be seen by Ying Zheng.

Seeing that Zhang Liang continued to remain silent, Ying Zheng continued to speak, "Someone took the initiative to take the blame for this crime, you know it?"

As soon as this remark came out, let alone Zhang Liang, even Wang Jian began to look puzzled, and looked at Ying Zheng puzzledly, not knowing what he meant by this.

After being shocked for a moment, Zhang Liang also quickly collected his emotions and put on a nonchalant appearance, "The villain has been locked up here all this time, and he can't even see his family members, so how can he understand what's going on outside?"

Hearing these remarks, Ying Zheng's gaze sharpened slightly, and he stared at Zhang Liang and said, "I think you know."

Sensing the extraordinary aura of Ying Zheng, Zhang Liang's expression changed slightly, and then he looked puzzled, "What does your majesty mean?"

Having reached this point, Ying Zheng stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "You are the mastermind of this assassination, right?"

After finishing speaking, he stared straight at Zhang Liang, as if he had already seen through everything.

And being said so, Zhang Liang was also surprised.

Even Wang Jian, who was on the side, looked at Ying Zheng with a look of shock. Seeing Ying Zheng's serious expression, he knew that Ying Zheng was not joking.

And Zhang Liang is also a person who has seen the world. Although he was flustered, he quickly covered up his panic, acting as if he didn't know anything, "The villain doesn't understand what your Majesty is talking about."

Ying Zheng also expected Zhang Liang's denial, so he wasn't too surprised.

Just a faint smile, Ying Zheng continued, "The person who came out to take the responsibility, was someone arranged to take the blame for you?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang's expression changed again.

Although his heart was extremely flustered, he still put on a flat expression, "The villain doesn't understand what His Majesty is talking about?"

Regarding Zhang Liang's sophistry, Ying Zheng did not panic, but continued to analyze, "Since the person who risked his life to make a scapegoat, that guy must have expected his own death!"

"The person who wants to protect even at the risk of death must be the relative or lover around that guy, right?"

Telling his guess, Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Zhang Liang.

Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Liang's mouth twitched slightly, his expression became slightly dignified, but he remained silent.

Ying Zheng continued to speak, "You can find that guy's weakness and make him confess, so can't the widow find that guy's weakness?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang's pupils shrank slightly.

Then Ying Zheng continued, "If he can figure out why he is willing to risk his life, then he will definitely confess by then, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang's expression became more serious.

Of course, he was also clear about these things. If he really knew how to find Tieniu's weaknesses as Ying Zheng said, then Tieniu would definitely confess.

After all, he is someone who can even risk his life, which shows the weight of his obsession to protect.

And in order to protect, he must do anything.

Knowing that this matter cannot be concealed anymore, Zhang Liang's expression turned cold, "Since you already know, why waste your tongue here, kill or cut as you please!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jian's eyes burned with anger, "You don't know the heights of heaven and earth! How dare you do this to Your Majesty!"

However, in the face of Wang Jian's anger, Zhang Liang snorted coldly, and stared at Ying Zheng with his eyes, "He didn't hesitate to kill innocent people for his own selfish desires! This guy deserves what he deserves!"

Regarding this accusation, Ying Zheng looked at him calmly, "As an old nobleman, you should also know how many people will die in the war every year before the widows rule the six countries?"

Zhang Liang's eyes were still full of resentment and stared at Ying Zheng, but he didn't answer.

And Ying Zheng didn't write any ink, so he continued to ask: "And after the widow has unified the six kingdoms, you know how much the people's living conditions are different from before, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang's expression changed slightly again.

This change is naturally clear in his heart, but his hatred for the whole Great Qin will not be wiped away by it.

He stared at Ying Zheng, "No matter what, the fact that my father and grandpa lost their lives at your hands will not change!"

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you think it's wrong for the widow to kill them?"

Zhang Liang's face was cold and stern, and he yelled, "Isn't it?!"

Compared to Zhang Liang's excited emotions, Ying Zheng was much calmer, "What if the one who was killed was a widow?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang's expression changed.

Then he seemed to think of something, and then he became silent.

Then Ying Zheng continued, "While participating in the war, you should be prepared to die. You were killed because you were not strong enough. Why blame others?"

Zhang Liang snorted coldly, "If you want to kill, you can kill so many fallacies!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Liang with a serious gaze, "Do you want to follow the widow?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang's expression changed, "What?!"

Even Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng with shock.

Ying Zheng also continued to speak, "If you follow the widow, your talent will have a place to display, and you will never be buried."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Liang directly refused, "Wishful thinking!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng fell silent.

In Yinglan's place, he was known as a saint-seeker, and he had no doubts about Zhang Liang's strength.

He also knew in his heart that if Zhang Liang could be recruited, it would be of great benefit to Daqin.

But after a long silence, Ying Zheng could only let out a long sigh, "Forget it, let's go!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jian's pupils trembled.

Chapter 232 If you have been timid all the time, can the widow make it to today?

Not to mention Wang Jian was shocked, even Zhang Liang was full of disbelief, "You want to let me go?!"

He is clear about his current situation.

Anyone who dared to conspire to assassinate Ying Zheng, and judging from the current situation, was caught by Ying Zheng.

This is obviously a fatal situation, but now Ying Zheng doesn't seem to have the intention of killing himself, which makes Zhang Liang very puzzled.

After all, in his impression, Ying Zheng was an extremely brutal king, and he definitely couldn't do such a thing.

And Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Wang Jian, and he said lightly, "Get ready, let this kid go.",

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jian quickly cupped his hands, his expression even more solemn, "You can't do it, Your Majesty! You can't just let him go so easily! This is the assassin who almost killed you!"

"If we let it go like this this time, then there's no guarantee what he will do next time. We should cut the weeds and get rid of the roots!"

Wang Jian was very clear about this assassination, it was extremely thrilling and almost killed Ying Zheng.

What worried Wang Jian even more was the assassin's method, which directly broke through Ying Zheng's barrier-like defense, and almost took Ying Zheng's life.

Such methods are simply astonishing.

As a subject, Wang Jian naturally didn't want to see Ying Zheng face this situation again.

As for Wang Jian's insistence, Ying Zheng just waved his hands lightly, "You don't need to say more, I have my own plans."

But Zhang Liang was taken aback when he heard this, "If you let me go now, aren't you afraid that I will come to assassinate you again?"

He is completely confused about Ying Zheng's choice now.

After all, from the moment Ying Zheng determined that he was an assassin, Zhang Liang was already ready to die.

Facing Zhang Liang's cold and stern gaze, Ying Zheng was not afraid at all, staring at Zhang Liang with a pair of eyes and said, "The widow's life is here, just come and take it."

Faced with the imperial aura on Ying Zheng, Zhang Liang was also slightly moved.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Liang couldn't help but said, "Why didn't you kill me?"

He still couldn't figure out Ying Zheng's purpose.

Ying Zheng said lightly, "It's just that I want to do this."

After the voice fell, Zhang Liang also fell silent and stopped speaking.

After sending Zhang Liang away, Wang Jian asked, "Why does Your Majesty have to let that guy go?"

Ying Zheng sighed softly, his eyes thoughtful, "You should know how many assassinations I have encountered so far, right?"

Wang Jian frowned, thought about it carefully, and then continued, "This... the combination of large and small assassinations must have been more than hundreds of times."
