Chapter 25: Sensation in Xianyang, precarious situation

Xianyang City.

The incident at Outside Sucheng soon spread here.

And General Wang Ben also received a secret order from Qin Shi Huang.

Li Si, raid his home! The whole family demoted to commoners!

Zhao Gao, raid his home! Exterminate his three clans!

This news came too suddenly.

The entire Xianyang City was boiling.

This day.

There were countless wails in Xianyang City.

Just those related to Zhao Gao were slaughtered, over two thousand people!

It was evident how extensive the extermination of the three clans was.

The sky over all of Xianyang was shrouded in a mood of panic.

The Chief of the Carriage Office had his three clans exterminated.

The entire family of the Left Chancellor was demoted to commoners.

The two major super-factions of the court were uprooted.

Everyone in Xianyang City was so shaken by this news that their souls seemed to have left their bodies.

At first, some thought it was a prank.

Who would dare to take action against those two?

Later, news spread, which made people believe it a little more.

There were rumors that—

Qin Shi Huang was on an eastern tour to Outside Sucheng, and due to the fatigue of the journey, he fainted.

And Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Prince Hu Hai, for some reason, angered Qin Shi Huang.

Therefore, they were punished by Qin Shi Huang!

And Prince Hu Hai was also demoted to a commoner!

Now, the families of Zhao Gao and Li Si had not escaped this involvement.

There were even rumors that Qin Shi Huang was dying.

And was preparing to bury some ministers alive to pave the way for the next emperor!

The entire court of officials was thrown into panic by this news!

Feng family residence.

At this time, many officials were gathered in the hall.

Except for the officials of the Li Si and Zhao Gao factions who did not come.

Almost everyone who should have come, came.

Now the court had suddenly lost two important ministers.

If the rumors were true.

Then they worried that the next one would be themselves.

Would Qin Shi Huang find an excuse to take action against them?

Therefore, they gathered here to try to get information from Chancellor Feng.

"Chancellor Feng, is the Emperor's health really getting worse, to the point of killing ministers indiscriminately?"

"Yes, Chancellor Feng, what should we do?"

"Zhao Gao and Li Si were both important ministers in the court, yet they were killed directly by the Emperor."

"Are we small figures not in danger?"

"Will the Emperor kill us all?"

"Could there be some hidden reason for this?"

Feng Quji, who could sit in the position of Right Chancellor, was not a simple person.

He was cunning and had also received a secret order, knowing that this was not the case. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
