Chapter 113

Actively expose himself?

Looking at Lu Li's curious expression, Ying Mo's heart stirred slightly, and he intended to tell Lu Li about this matter.

But just at this moment,

A member of the Eastern Depot walked in quickly from outside the courtyard gate.

Seeing the Eastern Depot member walk in, Lu Li was immediately surprised, and a glimmer of realization flashed in her eyes.

She had roughly guessed that her Young Master must have had the Eastern Depot handle this matter.

Her thoughts were indeed correct.

After the Eastern Depot member entered the courtyard, he quickly arrived before Ying Mo and reported to him respectfully.

"Young Master…"

"The matter you entrusted to us is already prepared; we can launch the operation at any time…"

"Do you wish to begin the operation now and stir up the winds and clouds in Xianyang City?!"

There was a trace of intense excitement flickering in the Eastern Depot member's eyes; whenever he thought of his Young Master's methods, he felt great admiration.

He knew,

As long as his Young Master's plan was executed well, it would inevitably turn Xianyang City upside down.

It would force the person behind the scenes into a dilemma, even forcing them to sacrifice a pawn to save the king, and hand that person over.

"Prepare to act!"

Listening to the Eastern Depot member's inquiry, Ying Mo revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, though there was deep, cold killing intent in his eyes: "Start making those people tremble!"

"Let them know…"

"As long as I want to drag him out, no one can hide him!"

"Not a single person who participated in the conspiracy five years ago will be able to hide!"

Hearing these words from Ying Mo, the Eastern Depot member's heart was shaken.

"This subordinate will go and do it immediately!"

The Eastern Depot scout nodded heavily, then immediately turned and left to execute the plan.

Lu Li watched the retreating back of the Eastern Depot member, her eyes filled with curiosity,

Wanting to ask Ying Mo what exactly the plan was.

But seeing that Ying Mo had already closed his eyes, appearing to be resting, she did not ask further.

Instead, she walked over to him, crouched down, reached out with her small hands, and continued to massage his legs.

……

Xianyang City,

Inside the Qilin Hall,

The imperial officials attending today's morning court had already arrived at the Qilin Hall one after another.

"Zhao Gao is dead; it's truly shocking. How did he die so suddenly?"

"Who exactly killed Zhao Gao?"

"I heard it was a ghost? Who exactly is this ghost?"

"His Majesty must be furious. Someone is killing imperial officials one after another within Xianyang City; this matter is too heinous!"

"…"

The imperial officials arriving at the Qilin Hall one after another all had solemn and complex expressions at this moment.

They whispered to each other,

Discussing the matter regarding Zhao Gao.

They all already knew the news of Zhao Gao being killed.

This news,

To the civil and military officials of the court,

Caused a great shock and impact, and even made some people's hearts turn cold with fear.

Just as the officials were discussing it, an old man with graying hair but a spirited demeanor,

Followed by one person, was walking with large strides into the Qilin Hall.

Some officials inside the Qilin Hall, seeing this person walk in, immediately looked happy and hurried to greet him.

"Prince!"

"Prince, your complexion is quite good today; is there some good news?"

"…"

Many officials began to greet that person.

On the Qilin Hall, after arriving at the scene, Li Si, who had been silent and thinking with his head lowered,

Heard the commotion, slightly raised his head, and glanced in that person's direction.

Seeing that person, a dim light flashed in Li Si's eyes.

This person was a Prince of Great Qin, Zhao Mingqu, a cousin of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.

Zhao Mingqu walked into the great hall, listening to everyone's greetings, and nodded in response with a face full of smiles.

And at this moment,

An official suddenly asked Zhao Mingqu in a low voice: "Prince, Zhao Gao was killed, and his corpse was hung on the city tower. Do you know about this matter…"

"What? Zhao Gao was killed? How did this happen?"

Zhao Mingqu's expression paused, and a look of shock appeared on his face: "Zhao Gao was a high court official; he was actually killed? And his corpse was hung on the city tower?"

"Who has such great courage? To dare to kill Zhao Gao? Is this not holding the Great Qin imperial court in any regard?"

"This is an act of rebellion!"

"Who did this?"

"We must capture the murderer and punish them severely to uphold the dignity of the imperial court and His Majesty's dignity!"

Zhao Mingqu's expression became angry, and he scolded loudly, appearing to be very furious.

Not far away, Wang Jian had been staring at Zhao Mingqu.

Watching Zhao Mingqu's angry and shocked appearance at this moment, he frowned slightly.

Suddenly,

Wang Jian's gaze,

Fell upon the person behind Prince Zhao, and staring at the position of that person's left hand, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Prince…"

Taking a step forward, Wang Jian's gaze was fixed on Prince Zhao, and he suddenly spoke: "What is going on with your attendant's left hand?"
