Chapter 46: Prince Zhao Mingqu, with righteous indignation, sternly denounces the murderer

Lu Li’s expression was one of guilt.

Falling into Ying Mo’s eyes, it caused a faint, calm smile to appear on his face, and he shook his head slightly.

“It’s nothing.”

Ying Mo smiled and said to Lu Li: “You don’t need to worry about this matter; I have already made arrangements...”

“Hmm?!”

A look of curiosity instantly appeared in Lu Li’s eyes: “Young Master, have you already arranged for people to investigate this matter? How do you intend to investigate?”

“Investigate?”

Ying Mo shook his head slightly, a playful look appearing at the corner of his mouth: “No need. I will investigate it myself. I want them to jump out on their own, to make them surface and have nowhere to hide...”

Listening to these words from Ying Mo, Lu Li’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

She could not understand how one could achieve such an effect.

One must know that those people are no pushovers; they are all cunning crocodiles hidden in deep water.

These people,

would they easily,

voluntarily expose themselves?

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

But just at this moment,

a man from the Eastern Depot walked in quickly from outside the courtyard gate.

Seeing the man from the Eastern Depot walk in, Lu Li was instantly surprised, and a look of realization flashed in her eyes.

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

She was indeed correct.

After the man from the Eastern Depot entered the courtyard, he quickly came before Ying Mo and reported to him respectfully.

“Young Master...”

“The matter you entrusted to us has been prepared; we can launch the operation at any time...”

“Shall we begin the operation now and stir up the winds and clouds in Xianyang City?!”

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

He knew,

as long as his Young Master’s hand was used well, it would surely be able to turn this 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!”

Hearing the inquiry from the Eastern Depot man, Ying Mo revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, yet in his eyes, there was deep, cold killing intent: “Start making those people tremble!”

“Let them know...”

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

“Those who participated in the conspiracy five years ago, not one of them can hide!”

Hearing these words from Ying Mo, the Eastern Depot man’s heart trembled.

“This subordinate will go and do it right away!”

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 man, 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, knelt down, reached out her small hands, and continued to massage his legs.

Xianyang City,

inside the Qilin Hall,

the imperial officials attending today’s morning court session had arrived at the Qilin Hall one after another.

“Zhao Gao is dead, it’s truly shocking. How did he suddenly die?”

“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 in succession within Xianyang City; this matter is too atrocious!”

“...”

The imperial officials arriving at the Qilin Hall one after another all had somewhat solemn and complex expressions at this time,

whispering to each other,

discussing the matter regarding Zhao Gao.

They all already knew the news that Zhao Gao had been killed.

This news,

for the civil and military officials in the court,

caused a huge impact and shock, 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 in 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 the direction of that person.

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

This person was a Prince of the 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 has been killed, and his corpse is hung on the city tower. Do you know about this matter...”

“What? Zhao Gao has been killed? What is going on?”

Zhao Mingqu’s expression paused, and a look of shock appeared on his face: “Zhao Gao was an important minister of the imperial court, and he was actually killed? And the corpse is hung on the city tower?”

“Who has such great courage? To actually dare to kill Zhao Gao? Is this not taking the Great Qin imperial court seriously?”

“This is an act of rebellion!”

“Who did this?”

“We must catch the murderer and punish them severely to uphold the dignity of the imperial court and the dignity of His Majesty!”

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

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

Watching Zhao Mingqu’s angry and shocked appearance at this moment, his brows furrowed slightly.

Suddenly,

Wang Jian’s gaze,

landed on 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?”
