Chapter 35: Ying Zheng begins to perceive a glimmer of light in the darkness

Lord Meng Yi's words left Ying Zheng deep in thought.

His heart was in turmoil, receiving a great shock and impact.

However,

the expression on his face,

was indifferent at this moment, showing no emotional fluctuations.

Only, an incomparably terrifying aura of pressure radiated from his body.

The powerful presence made Lord Meng Yi, who was standing less than two steps away, feel extremely terrifying pressure.

He paced slowly back and forth in the main hall.

His gaze flickered as he thought about the information contained in what Lord Meng Yi had said.

Watching Ying Zheng pace and contemplate.

Lord Meng Yi kept his mouth tightly shut,

not daring to say another word at this time,

for fear of disturbing Ying Zheng, interrupting his train of thought, and then being reprimanded.

Ying Zheng did not pay any attention to Lord Meng Yi, but was constantly thinking about the connections in the information Lord Meng Yi had provided.

"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 let Zhao Baili escort someone away five years ago?"

"..."

"Could it be... that Mo'er's death in battle five years ago really had something I didn't know about?!"

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

Once he thought that his son's death might have hidden circumstances, Ying Zheng's footsteps stopped immediately.

"Lord Meng Yi—"

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

"The news of this matter must be completely sealed!"

"If the news leaks..."

"Death without mercy."

Swish—

Lord Meng Yi's face turned pale in an instant!

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

"This subject understands!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lord Meng Yi nodded heavily: "This subject will definitely keep this matter a secret!"

"Go down."

Ying Zheng nodded indifferently and waved his hand.

"Yes! This subject takes his leave!"

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

He felt that Ying Zheng at this moment was very terrifying, with a restrained killing intent that was surging and billowing!

Ying Zheng watched Lord Meng Yi's departing back, his expression terrifyingly gloomy.

"Watching Zhang Han!"

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

Just as Ying Zheng's voice fell.

Watching Zhang Han's figure appeared like a ghost.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

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

Ying Zheng did not speak, but kept a straight face, his sharp gaze fixed on Watching Zhang Han.

Being stared at by Ying Zheng's gaze, Watching Zhang Han immediately felt immense pressure and was very nervous in his heart.

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

"Watching Zhang Han..."

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

Swish—

Watching Zhang Han's expression changed, his heart tightened suddenly, and his whole body shook.

"Thump—"

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

Watching Zhang Han's expression was serious!

Watching Watching Zhang Han kneel to express his loyalty.

Ying Zheng's gaze flickered slightly.

The sharp gaze fell upon Watching Zhang Han, immediately making him feel as if his soul were about to be seen through by Ying Zheng.

It seemed,

that under the gaze of this Emperor, he had no thoughts that could be hidden.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded slightly.

"Get up."

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

"Yes!"

Watching 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 also needs to be surrounded and controlled immediately!"

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

"The matter from five years ago..."

"I want to investigate it clearly, bit by bit!"

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

"What was Zhao Gao doing at that time!"

"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 radiating from his body caused the air pressure in the entire sleeping palace to drop.

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

"This subject obeys!"

Not daring to have any hesitation, Watching Zhang Han immediately accepted the order and turned to carry it out.

Watching Watching Zhang Han's departing back.

The expression on Ying Zheng's face was gloomy as water, the killing intent deep within his eyes bloomed, cold and majestic. **CHAPTER 37**
