Chapter 121: Ying Zheng

Fusu was clearly not one of those people.

Facing Ying Zheng’s inquiry, he nodded honestly.

"Father, why not hand this case over to me to be responsible for?"

Fusu said seriously.

He had also considered this for a long time when he said this.

This case involved a great deal.

If it were handed over to others to be responsible for, it was feared they would only find a scapegoat.

Although he knew that this case had already been handed over to Li Si by his father to be responsible for,

it was precisely because of this point that Fusu wanted to intervene in this case.

After all, Fusu was Li Si’s son-in-law.

"Does Meng Tian know about this matter?"

Ying Zheng did not answer Fusu’s request first, but instead asked a question.

Fusu was slightly stunned and somewhat puzzled.

But he still shook his head honestly.

"This son has never discussed this matter with General Meng Tian."

Although he had been following Meng Tian during this period,

and had also been learning to handle affairs from Meng Tian,

his personality had become somewhat more decisive.

But after all, the time was short, and the influence was not very great.

"If you want to intervene in this matter, you might as well follow Meng Tian and investigate this case carefully."

Hearing that Meng Tian had not decided on Fusu’s meaning, a flash of contemplation flickered in Ying Zheng’s eyes.

Finally, he spoke to Fusu.

"This son accepts the order."

Although Fusu had some doubts as to why his father insisted that General Meng Tian participate in this matter,

he still honestly agreed.

Watching Fusu’s departing back, a flash of satisfaction flickered in Ying Zheng’s eyes.

This son finally made him feel somewhat satisfied.

If he were cultivated well, perhaps he could truly inherit the position under his buttocks.

During this period, Ying Zheng felt a sense of weakness from within his body.

This weakness made Ying Zheng clearly know that he probably didn’t have much time left.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Ying Zheng’s face.

If his Mo’er were still here, he could choose to hand over this position to him now.

Instead of being at this stage, still working hard to cultivate his successor.

The news of Meng Tian and Prince Fusu intervening in the tax silver case soon spread out.

When Ying Mo heard this news, he was somewhat surprised for a moment.

Wasn’t this case specifically designed by Ying Zheng for Li Si?

How could he let Fusu intervene in this matter again?

Li Si was also somewhat surprised when he received this news.

However, he thought a bit more.

Ying Zheng let Fusu intervene in this matter at this time.

Could it be that he valued Fusu more in his heart and intended to let Fusu inherit the position of the Qin Emperor?

Thinking of this, Li Si’s eyes moved.

This would not do.

Although Fusu was his son-in-law,

Li Si clearly knew that Fusu’s personality was not conducive to his control.

If Fusu became the Qin Emperor, he would reuse Meng Tian and the others.

At that time, the power in his hands would suffer another blow.

This was not something Li Si was willing to see.

A flash of contemplation flickered in Li Si’s eyes.

He decided to contact Hu Hai in advance.

If Fusu truly became the Qin Emperor, everything they had done would be in vain.

During these days, Ying Zheng’s body seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

All the imperial physicians had come to Ying Zheng’s palace.

Ying Zheng’s palace was filled with a thick medicinal smell.

Although Li Si was investigating the case, his focus was always concentrated on Ying Zheng.

He often used the pretext of reporting on the case to come to the palace to check on Ying Zheng’s condition.

Ying Zheng clearly knew Li Si’s little schemes in his heart.

So every time Li Si came, Ying Zheng let him in.

Watching Ying Zheng’s face turn pale, never leaving the medicinal soup in his hands,

a flash of excitement flickered in Li Si’s eyes; he knew that what he was waiting for would eventually arrive.

It was just that he hid the excitement in his heart very well.

Day after day, he spoke useless nonsense and endured Ying Zheng’s weak anger.

After Li Si’s back disappeared from the palace, Ying Zheng, who had just been extremely weak, immediately changed his expression.

The medicinal soup in his hands was poured directly into the basin beside him.

"Your Majesty, Li Si comes to the palace every day; he definitely wants to check on your physical condition."

Zhang Han came to Ying Zheng’s side and said.

He was a military general, and his physical fitness was better than others.

Even though he had suffered such a severe punishment, he was recovering quite quickly.

And Zhang Han clearly understood that Ying Zheng could not be without people by his side now.

So as soon as his injuries improved, he immediately returned to Ying Zheng’s side.

Ying Zheng was clearly also very satisfied with Zhang Han’s attitude.

"Of course he will come over to watch at all times."

"If my body doesn’t weaken, how would he complete his next plan?"

"However, even if my body weakens, if he hasn’t completed the matter I arranged for him,"

"this broken body of mine can still take the lives of his entire family."

When Ying Zheng said this, a flash of ruthlessness flickered in his eyes.

Looking at His Majesty’s murderous appearance, Zhang Han had a count in his heart.

"I received news from the Ghost’s side."

"He wants you to pressure Li Si as soon as possible, to make him search for the people behind him."

Afterwards, Zhang Han reported the news transmitted from the Ghost side to Ying Zheng.

It was unknown how the people from Ghost managed to do it.

Zhang Han merely raised his eyes, and a slip of paper had already arrived before him.

"Is he already unable to wait?"

Ying Zheng said softly.

Indeed, they had spent a long time trying to draw out the people behind Li Si.

Given the personality of Ghost, being able to endure for so long was truly a difficult thing.

"Since that is the case, send word out: if Li Si does not find the whereabouts of the silver, tell him to bring his head to see me."

Ying Zheng decided to accelerate his plan.

After Zhang Han acknowledged the order, he left the palace.

Having returned to the Li Fu, Li Si soon received Ying Zheng's decree.

Li Si, who had been in a good mood, immediately had his face contorted.

He did not expect that Ying Zheng would actually make such a decision.

There was only one day left until the stipulated deadline.

Yet he still had not a single clue.

"Damn old thing."

Li Si cursed under his breath.

A trace of panic flashed through his eyes.

He knew Ying Zheng's personality very well.

Since Ying Zheng had sent the decree, it meant that this matter had reached an irreversible point.

Tomorrow, must he really bring his head to see him?

"Impossible."

"This matter, perhaps it might have their traces."

Li Si clenched his fists, a flash of suspicion crossing his eyes.

He was clearly aware of the methods of Donghuang Taiyi and Beimingzi.

If these two people had also joined in,

then the whole matter would follow logically.
