Chapter 390

~6 min read 1,047 words

But Gao Yao had no way out.

Although it wasn't necessarily to borrow the power of the future Zhao Gao,

for Gao Yao, this imperial court was indeed like walking on thin ice.

Xiaoyue needed his protection, and among the eunuchs, countless eyes were staring at his position.

If he didn't advance further, he would be pulled down by others.

But the scene changed,

and it shocked countless audience members!

Early the next morning,

Gao Yao brought Zhao Gao to the door of the Prefect of the Central Carriage.

But the official guards surrounding the door at this time gave Gao Yao a sense of foreboding!

"Oh no! Something terrible has happened!"

A young eunuch saw Gao Yao and hurriedly came up to say,

"Yesterday, the Prefect was still fine! This morning, we found that he had bled from his seven orifices and died!"

Hearing the young eunuch's words,

Zhao Gao on the side seemed to have thought of something and was anxiously stuttering.

He hurriedly took paper and pen and wrote:

【The old mountain ginseng I offered yesterday, wouldn't it be gone forever?】

But when the young eunuch saw what Zhao Gao wrote,

he immediately ordered the guards to take Zhao Gao!

"The imperial physician has already verified it! The Prefect died because he ate half of the old mountain ginseng, causing heat to surge and his breath to cut off!"

"This is the confession he wrote with his own hand!"

The young eunuch pointed to the cloth strip Zhao Gao had written himself and said.

Seeing this,

Gao Yao didn't dare to easily get involved with Zhao Gao.

After all, the young eunuch was hinting, openly and secretly, for him to draw a line with Zhao Gao.

Watching Zhao Gao being taken away in shackles,

Gao Yao was anxious and angry, and couldn't help but complain to the corpse of the Prefect of the Central Carriage on the ground.

Afterwards, he hurriedly found Following Yi Xiaochuan again, thinking of discussing countermeasures:

"I told him to divide it into eighty-one portions, one portion a day! But I didn't expect that in one night! In one night, he ate half a root!"

Watching Gao Yao pacing back and forth in anger, cursing the dead Prefect of the Central Carriage,

Following Yi Xiaochuan was snickering.

"Who told you to tell him that ginseng could extend life? He's already so old, how could he wait eighty-one days!"

"Can you stop making sarcastic remarks! I'm already thinking of ways to save Zhao Gao!"

As he spoke, Gao Yao couldn't help but complain about Zhao Gao,

throwing his hat on the ground, cursing in frustration:

"He's truly hopeless! I finally found him, and he turns out to be a stutterer!"

"Stuttering is one thing, but he's also so greedy for money! Being greedy is one thing, but he even wrote a confession with his own hand! Isn't this just looking for death!"

"Do you think someone like him can achieve greatness? I really!"

Gao Yao was so angry he was almost incoherent.

This Zhao Gao clearly left him speechless.

"Hey, I say Old Gao, just give up on this idea! Maybe the Zhao Gao in history died just like this! History just remembered it wrong!"

"Xiaochuan! Think for me too! If I don't rely on Zhao Gao, who can I rely on?! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I should find a way to save him!"

Gao Yao said,

looking at the indifferent Following Yi Xiaochuan, feeling quite helpless.

He couldn't help but worry about Zhao Gao again and could only hurriedly return to his mansion to prepare a strategy.

But soon,

the verdict for Zhao Gao was also approved.

There was no surprise.

Poisoning the Prefect of the Central Carriage, he was to be torn apart by chariots the next day!

And at this time, Gao Yao had already thought of using a scapegoat to swap out Zhao Gao to protect the other party.

But just as Gao Yao took advantage of the night to rush to the prison, preparing to pull off the switch!

The scene before him struck him like a thunderbolt!

The jailer, with whom he had already made arrangements, looked hesitant and pointed to Zhao Gao's cell:

"My... my lord... Magistrate Zhao heard he was to be torn apart by chariots tomorrow, was scared out of his wits, and has already committed suicide in the cell!"

In an instant,

the entire bullet screen was filled with question marks.

【This... what's the situation??】

【???????】

【Zhao Gao is dead??】

【Damn, how did Zhao Gao die so easily??】

【Did Gao Yao and the others change history?!】

【This... he just committed suicide?? Isn't that too rash?!】

【Torn apart by chariots... isn't that being torn apart by five horses?!】

【It is indeed a bit scary... Gao Yao was still a step too late!!】

【Sigh, with this kind of psychological quality, how could he be the Zhao Gao who held power over the court?】

【But even with Gao Yao helping him, it was of no use; this doesn't look like the great treacherous official Zhao Gao at all!】

【This goes according to Following Yi Xiaochuan's wishes!】

【Gao Yao planned for so long... originally thought he had found a backer...】

All the audience members didn't expect that

this Zhao Gao, who is almost the most famous eunuch in history,

would actually commit suicide in prison so rashly?!

For a moment, it exceeded the audience's expectations!

Even if this Zhao Gao was too different from the treacherous official they expected,

he shouldn't have been written off so absurdly??

And...

if Gao Yao hadn't appeared in history, how could such a spineless Zhao Gao ever hold power over the court?? By relying on a thousand-year-old wild mountain ginseng??

For a moment,

countless audience members thought history had been completely changed by Gao Yao and his companion!

And as the audience expected, Zhao Gao's death was a heavy blow to Gao Yao.

He immediately felt the world spinning!

With the support of his subordinates, he returned to his mansion.

Until the next day, he was still lying on the bed, muttering:

"Why... why..."

"I worked so hard to find Zhao Gao, why did he die..."

And at this time. ===== CHAPTER 391 =====
