"Hmm...okay then."
Zhang Han hesitated slightly and could only nod.
So, he once again took seven or eight of his subordinates to dig and dig in the garden, until they were disgraced and covered in smelly sweat.
He dug very deep this time, and underground water would come out any deeper.
Still nothing was found.
Zhang Han said to Zhao Gao:
"Master Zhao, you have also seen the situation. There is nothing in the garden. If you dig deeper, underground water will come out."
"Okay, then it's up to you, General Zhang."
Zhao Gao felt disappointed and confused.
He simply couldn't believe it, but the fact was before his eyes. Even if he didn't believe it, he had to believe it. There was nothing in the garden, and there was no stolen anything.
Zhang Han and Li Si were nearby.
Although Zhao Gao was surprised and confused in his heart, he did not dare to show it too much.
After much thought,
It is very likely that there is something wrong with Yan Lingji's link.
"Damn Yan Ling'er, how does she do things? If something goes wrong at a critical moment, let's see if the Zajia family doesn't skin her when she gets back!"
Zhao Gao cut Yan Lingji into pieces with a thousand knives in his heart.
At this time, Li Si led people out of the palace and said:
"General Zhang, the Ninth Young Master's mansion is very clean. I searched all over the house and found nothing. Please report the results to His Majesty. I will lead people to search the other Young Masters' mansions."
"Then I'll trouble the Prime Minister."
Zhang Han took the secret guards back to report to Ying Zheng.
Li Si led a large number of imperial troops to search Fusu's mansion first, then General Lu's mansion, Ying Gao's mansion, and finally Hu Hai's mansion.
Zhang Han returned to the banquet and reported:
"Your Majesty, we have searched the entire Qiankun Palace and found no letters of collaboration with the enemy. Judging from the current situation, the Ninth Young Master is probably innocent."
"good very good!"
Ying Zheng suddenly smiled.
He had great expectations for Qin Xiu and did not believe that the latter would collaborate with the enemy.
"Zhang Han, thank you for your hard work. You go to the table to eat first and wait for Li Si's results together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!"
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhang Han sat down at the banquet table, ready to be dispatched at any time.
Since he did not find the letters of collaboration with the enemy and treason in Qin Xiu's residence, Fusu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and was happy for Qin Xiu from the bottom of his heart.
"No search found? How is that possible?"
Mr. Hu Hai, who was sitting on the seat, was very disappointed at this moment. He was so surprised that he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
It was clearly arranged in advance.
In the end it was all in vain.
Hu Hai still wanted to see Qin Xiu kneel down and beg, but now it seems that his expectations have been dashed. If there is insufficient evidence, Qin Xiu cannot be deposed.
He couldn't figure it out. What kind of bad luck did Nine Crazy People have to be fine? Could it be that they really had nine lives in the year of the cat? How unreasonable!
at this time.
Zhao Gao returned to his seat and whispered to Hu Hai:
"Hu Hai, have you seen that cheap maid Yan Ling'er? She may have ruined all the careful planning of the Za family. This little cheap maid deserves to die! Damn it!"
The words were sinister, almost as if he wanted to eat people.
He asked Yan Lingji to bury the stolen goods in Qin Xiu's garden, but after digging three feet into the ground, no stolen goods were found. The problem must be with Yan Lingji.
"Teacher, she was over there just now...Hey, why did she disappear? When did she leave?"
Only then did Hu Hai realize that Yan Lingji was missing.
"There must be something wrong with her!"
Zhao Gao wanted to eat Yan Lingji alive.
But thinking that Yan Lingji had been poisoned by him, she would come back to beg him sooner or later, otherwise, she would die of intestinal rupture, and no one could bear the pain.
On the contrary, he was no longer in a hurry to find Yan Lingji.
Hu Hai said gloomily:
"If she dares to do something wrong, it's best not to let me catch her, otherwise I will punish her severely and destroy her when I've had enough fun!"
He has long coveted Yan Lingji's beauty.
However, Zhao Gao assigned Yan Lingji to Qin Xiu, so that he had no chance to make a move and could only watch from a distance but not play with her.
Just when they were talking quietly.
"Your Majesty, I have made a major discovery! A major discovery!"
Suddenly, Li Si hurried into the banquet. He obviously discovered something extraordinary and hurriedly reported it to Ying Zheng on the dragon throne.
Ying Zheng asked majestically:
"But there are new clues to the case?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! That's exactly what it is!"
Li Si nodded repeatedly, unable to conceal his surprise.
Even he, the investigator of the case, was surprised. It can be seen that there must be a major discovery and important clue in the case.
"Could it be that we found evidence that Mr. Xiu is collaborating with the enemy?"
"Otherwise, why would the Prime Minister come back in such a hurry to report to my father?"
"Could it be that the Ninth Young Master really colluded and rebelled?"
Hearing that there were new developments in the case, many princes and princesses all cast curious glances. This case was so involved that they couldn't care less.
After hearing Li Si's words, Zhao Gao's eyes lit up, thinking that the former might have found Qin Xiu's letter of collaboration with the enemy outside Qiankun Palace.
This time, Qin Xiu was finally able to be convicted.
Hu Hai thinks the same way.
He wished that Li Si would quickly come up with evidence and then make Qin Xiu irrecoverable.
Just listen to Li Si say respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I just found a letter of collaboration with the enemy in the palace. Now it is irrefutable proof, and there is no longer any suspense."
"Keep talking."
Ying Zheng frowned and said.
The situation was very unfavorable to Qin Xiu, and what Ying Zheng was least willing to face finally happened.
"etc!"
"Father, I have something to say."
Suddenly, Hu Hai stood up.
"Hu Hai? What do you have to say?"
Ying Zheng looked at his usually naughty son and said.
Hu Hai surprisingly pretended to be fair and honest:
"Tonight was supposed to be the Mid-Autumn Festival for family reunion, but something happened about the prince's treason. This incident is very disgraceful for both Da Qin and the royal family."
He talks eloquently and understands the general situation.
Then he continued:
"My son boldly suggests that my father, for the sake of the glory of the Qin Dynasty and the prestige of the royal family, all those involved in the case tonight, no matter how noble their status, must be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law. Only in this way can we be convincing!"
"Okay, please sit down first."
Ying Zheng said impatiently to Hu Hai.
Hu Hai and Lao Jiu are not on good terms, and Ying Zheng has heard about this for a long time. Now that Lao Jiu is suspected of treason, Hu Hai comes out and proposes to deal with it strictly according to law.
It seems to be for the sake of the country, but in fact, it is for the sake of death.
How could Ying Zheng not hear it?
"My son... I obey."
Hu Hai returned to his seat angrily.
Qin Xiu stood up and said calmly:
"Father, actually I think Hu Hai's words are quite reasonable."
