After all, life here was truly too bitter. Unfortunately, Ying Zheng seemed to have forgotten him, and he could never find the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It wasn't until the Xiongnu invaded the Qin border, invading Jiuyuan, Yanmen, and other places, that Zhao Gao saw an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as the war lasted, as the frontline of this war, the role he played as Governor would become increasingly important.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because he feared the Xiongnu would be wiped out directly by the Qin army, Zhao Gao racked his brains and hooked up with the Xiongnu leader, Touman. By selling the Qin army's marching routes to Touman, he gained Touman's trust, which caused the war to reach a stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although colluding with foreigners and selling out the interests of Huaxia didn't sound very good, for Zhao Gao, as long as he could gain greater benefits for himself, he was willing to do anything and sacrifice anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, upon receiving Ying Zheng's letter, fearing these items would affect his plans, Zhao Gao immediately went to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had not expected Gai Nie to be so ruthless and to have tampered with these items.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon hearing Gai Nie's words, Zhao Gao was about to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Meng Tian had no intention of giving Zhao Gao any chance to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Men, take Zhao Gao into custody for the time being!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regardless of whether Zhao Gao was the one colluding with the Xiongnu, once he was tainted with a hint of suspicion, he was destined to withdraw from this war. If he hadn't colluded with the Xiongnu, that would naturally be best; once the war ended, he would have a chance to clear his name. Conversely, if he really had colluded with the Xiongnu, then he deserved to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Meng Tian spoke, his personal guards immediately swarmed up and took control of Zhao Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Gao's expression immediately turned extremely gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he was the Commandery Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But currently, it was wartime. On this frontline battlefield, the person with the most authority was still Meng Tian. Even if he was the Governor, he had to serve Meng Tian. When Meng Tian believed he was problematic, for the sake of victory in the war, even if he killed him, His Majesty the Emperor would not blame Meng Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was... reality!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Commandery Governor Zhao Gao was imprisoned by Grand General Meng Tian due to suspicion of colluding with the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once this news spread, it caused a great sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a time, many people in Jiuyuan City were extremely shocked, never expecting that Zhao Gao, as Governor, would actually commit treason.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the shadows, some people made up their minds after learning of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, Meng Tian and the others also searched out some things from Zhao Gao's mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu-sorcery was a strange art that circulated in the southern regions of Regarding Baiyue and other places. In the original Nightfall organization, there were some people who were proficient in this art. After the fall of Han, Nightfall joined Qin and became the initial members of the Shadow Secret Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This time, among the many guards who followed Gai Nie to escort the items to Jiuyuan Commandery, there were some who were proficient in Gu-sorcery.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because they had long known there was a mole in Jiuyuan Commandery, in order to lure the mole out, Gai Nie ordered these people to sprinkle some specially made medicinal powder on the horseshoes and other items in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once Zhao Gao's people went to steal them, they only needed to use Gu-insects to find the location of the items through the scent of the powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was the reason why Meng Tian and the others went directly to Zhao Gao's mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And now, after these items were searched out, the evidence was conclusive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The one who stole the items was indeed Zhao Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Governor, why would Zhao Gao steal these items for no reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It could only mean one thing: he wanted to find out the truth for the Xiongnu. He was indeed the one colluding with the Xiongnu!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon realizing this, Meng Tian wished he could kill Zhao Gao immediately and execute this eunuch on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in the end, he did not do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When all was said and done, Zhao Gao was the Governor appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. Even as the Grand General on the frontline, he could use the war as a reason to execute Zhao Gao, but doing so would inevitably be an overreach of authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, he wrote a letter, preparing to send it to Xianyang so that His Majesty the Emperor could deal with Zhao Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Meng Tian might seem a bit slow and pedantic, but this was actually his personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it weren't for this personality, in original history, he wouldn't have been able to commit suicide directly alongside Fusu because of a forged edict.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, even if Meng Tian wrote a letter to Xianyang, the back-and-forth would delay quite a bit of time. But with conclusive evidence, as long as no accidents occurred, the response from Xianyang should be to execute Zhao Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But this was also assuming no accidents occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And an accident happened to occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just in the second half of the night when Meng Tian detained Zhao Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Gao had only been in the prison for a few hours, and before Meng Tian had time to interrogate him, a riot suddenly broke out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>0\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A group of mysterious people appeared abruptly, killed the jailers directly, and abducted Zhao Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Meng Tian's letter had just been written and had not yet been sent out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon hearing this \"bad news,\" he couldn't help but be furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Zhao Gao, you truly deserve to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Meng Tian never expected Zhao Gao to be so bold and reckless to this extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First, he colluded with the Xiongnu, then he attempted to steal military secrets, and after the incident was exposed, he actually didn't repent and instead broke out of prison to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Meng Tian immediately sent people to search for Zhao Gao's whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Zhao Gao had operated in Jiuyuan Commandery for many years, and no one knew how many of his people existed here. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a group of people to appear immediately to rescue him as soon as he was imprisoned. It was not an easy task for Meng Tian to find Zhao Gao's whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thus, before the previous letter could be sent out, he had to rewrite a letter to inform Xianyang of what had happened in Jiuyuan Commandery.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When the messenger traveled day and night to deliver the letter written by Meng Tian in Jiuyuan Commandery to Xianyang, Ying Zheng saw the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the Zhangtai Palace, only Ying Zheng's angry voice could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Zhao Gao, how dare you do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng was just as angry as Meng Tian. He did not expect that after learning a lesson, Zhao Gao would not repent and, upon going to Jiuyuan Commandery, would dare to commit such an act of treason.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng hated betrayal most in his life. For Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao colluding with barbarians meant that even exterminating his nine clans would not be enough to vent his hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>0 ········Seeking flowers···· ····\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-06-17T04:20:18.418Z","2026-06-17T08:59:55.704Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f1916d52068beed1d449df2fa808ce64dbc531bbfcd955bead61a5d43cbaf127","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-576","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-574",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
