Meng Yi’s words left Ying Zheng deep in thought.

The massive waves in his heart were a great shock.

However,

the expression on his face,

was completely indifferent at this moment, showing no emotional fluctuations.

Yet, he radiated an incredibly terrifying aura of pressure.

The powerful presence made Meng Yi, standing less than two steps away, feel a terrifying pressure.

He paced slowly back and forth in the great hall.

His eyes flickered as he pondered the information contained in Meng Yi’s words.

Watching Ying Zheng pace and ponder,

Meng Yi kept his mouth tightly shut,

not daring to say another word at this moment,

fearing that he would disturb Ying Zheng, interrupt his train of thought, and be reprimanded.

Ying Zheng paid no attention to Meng Yi, instead focusing on the connections within the information Meng Yi had provided.

"I... what exactly did I overlook?"

"Why is this person who calls himself Ghost investigating Mo'er’s affairs?"

"And why did he kill Zhao Baili? Who was the person Zhao Baili escorted out of the city five years ago?"

"Zhao Gao... why did he secretly have Zhao Baili escort someone away five years ago?"

"..."

"Could it be... that there really was something I didn't know about Mo'er’s death five years ago?!"

Countless thoughts echoed and flickered in Ying Zheng’s mind.

Upon thinking that there might be hidden circumstances behind his son’s death, Ying Zheng stopped in his tracks.

"Meng Yi—"

Ying Zheng was expressionless, his eyes sharp as swords as they fell upon Meng Yi: "This matter must not be spread!"

"You must completely seal off news of this matter!"

"If the news leaks..."

"Death without mercy."

Swish—

Meng Yi’s face turned pale in an instant!

Although Ying Zheng’s voice was calm, it contained endless killing intent.

"Your subordinate understands!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Yi nodded heavily: "I will definitely keep my mouth shut about this!"

"Go."

Ying Zheng nodded indifferently and waved his hand.

"Yes! Your subordinate takes his leave!"

Meng Yi hurriedly took his leave, his footsteps hurried as he departed.

He felt that Ying Zheng at this moment was terrifying, possessing an internalized killing intent that was surging and turbulent!

Ying Zheng watched Meng Yi’s departing back, his expression terrifyingly somber.

"Zhang Han!"

After Meng Yi had been gone for a while, Ying Zheng suddenly spoke in a cold voice toward a shadowy corner.

As soon as Ying Zheng’s voice fell,

Zhang Han’s figure appeared like a ghost.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Zhang Han stood respectfully before Ying Zheng and asked in a low voice.

Ying Zheng did not speak, but stared at Zhang Han with a somber face and sharp eyes.

Being stared at by Ying Zheng, Zhang Han felt immense pressure and was very nervous inside.

He felt that the Emperor was very terrifying at this moment, as if he were on the verge of erupting at any time.

"Zhang Han..."

After staring at Zhang Han for a few moments, Ying Zheng suddenly spoke faintly: "Tell me... can I trust you?"

Swish—

Zhang Han’s expression changed, his heart tightened, and his whole body shook.

"Thump—"

Without any hesitation, Zhang Han immediately knelt before Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty! Zhang Han has no disloyal intentions toward Your Majesty or Great Qin!"

Zhang Han’s expression was serious!

Watching Zhang Han kneel to express his loyalty,

Ying Zheng’s eyes flickered slightly.

The sharp gaze fell upon Zhang Han, making Zhang Han feel as if his soul were being seen through by Ying Zheng.

It seemed,

that under the gaze of this Emperor, he could hide no thoughts.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded slightly.

"Get up."

Ying Zheng said: "I have matters that need you to handle."

"Yes!"

Zhang Han stood up immediately.

"You are to immediately have people surround and seal off Zhao Baili’s residence!"

Ying Zheng’s voice was cold: "Also, immediately begin investigating Zhao Gao! Investigate in secret! Zhao Gao’s residence must also be surrounded and controlled immediately!"

"Until the matter is investigated clearly, no one is allowed to leave the Zhao residence!"

"The events of five years ago..."

"I want to investigate them bit by bit!"

"I want to know what exactly happened when Mo'er went on his expedition five years ago!"

"At that time, what was Zhao Gao doing!"

"Who was he in contact with!"

"Go do it immediately!!!"

Killing intent boiled in Ying Zheng’s eyes, his face was cold as frost, and the aura he radiated caused the air pressure in the entire bedchamber to drop.

Listening to Ying Zheng’s murderous words, Zhang Han felt immense pressure.

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Not daring to hesitate, Zhang Han immediately accepted the order and turned to carry it out.

Watching Zhang Han’s departing back,

the expression on Ying Zheng’s face was somber as water, the killing intent in the depths of his eyes blooming, cold and majestic. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====

"Mo'er..."

Ying Zheng murmured softly: "Father will definitely investigate everything clearly. If five years ago..."

"If five years ago, there really were hidden circumstances..."

"Father will definitely turn the world upside down for you!"

At this moment, Ying Zheng,

although not yet certain,

whether there really was a heaven-shaking conspiracy behind his son’s death five years ago!

But he had already made up his mind!

If Ying Mo’s death was truly due to a conspiracy...

Then he,

would,

within Great Qin,

stir up a storm of blood!

The person who plotted against Ying Mo...

must die without a burial place!!!
