Inside the store!

Wu Gou's face was ashen and he stared at the waiter fiercely!

The waiter in the shop felt Wu Gou's strong murderous intention, stepped back step by step, and said in horror: "Second Patriarch, please calm down! Second Patriarch, please calm down!"

"Young man, I really didn't know that that person was the Eighth Young Master of the Qin Dynasty!"

Just in time!

Boom!

A loud noise sounded outside the street.

People looked up and neighed, and the horses galloped across the ground.

Wu Gou heard the sound and quickly looked from the window sill on the second floor.

Groups of Da Qin black soldiers, led by Li Si, are rushing here quickly!

Seeing this, Wu Gou's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said to the diners in a cold voice: "The time has come for you to repay me. Stop them at all costs!"

"Here!"

A famous customer quickly rushed out of the shop with a sword in hand.

And now!

Wu Gou's murderous eyes also fell on the waiter.

"Second Family Master, spare your life!"

"Second Patriarch, I know I was wrong!"

The waiter kept pleading for mercy, but the murderous intent in Wu Gou's eyes never diminished even a little!

"The Black Armor has arrived! With your strength, you can't escape!"

"If you are caught and interrogated and find out anything bad about the family, you will have no choice but to be wronged!"

Wu Gou sneered and suddenly slapped the shopkeeper and waiter.

boom!

A strong wind blew over their bodies, and the yellow spiritual light exploded instantly.

Done all this.

Wu Gou looked at the diners who were fighting with the black armored men on the street, and jumped out of the window to the back alley.

on the street!

"kill!"

The black armored warriors of the Great Qin Empire fought with all the disciples.

Their strength is strong, but facing the black armored warriors of Da Qin, they only struggled for a while!

But this is enough for Wu Gou.

When Li Si led the black soldiers to search the store, apart from the two corpses left on the ground, there was no trace of Wu Gou...

"Prime Minister! Wu Gou jumped out of the window on the second floor and left!"

The black armor quickly stepped forward to report.

Hearing this, Li Si frowned slightly and said coldly: "Order the entire city to search and don't let anyone suspicious go!"

"Here!"

…

The vast night!

The night wind blows!

Wu Goucang fled in panic to a dilapidated manor outside Xianyang City.

This is a hiding place hidden in the Wu Mansion, and it is impossible for ordinary people to find out.

But right now! People in Xianyang City of the Qin Dynasty are searching for him everywhere.

Facing the imperial espionage forces, although this place is temporarily safe, it is not a long-term solution.

Da da da!

It's time!

There was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door, and Wu Gou looked outside with vigilance.

"who!"

After the words fell, a black figure slowly appeared in front of Wu Gou.

The sleeves of the robe are wide, the face is majestic, and the hands are clasped behind the back.

It was his eldest brother, Wu Su, the head of the Wu family!

Wu Gou saw clearly who was coming and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Brother!"

"I knew you would definitely come to save me. I beg my eldest brother to secretly send someone to escort me out of the Qin Empire, whether it's to South Vietnam or the northern grasslands..."

At this moment, he could not suppress his excitement and his body was trembling.

"You can't leave for the sake of the family!"

"What?!"

Wu Gou exclaimed: "Brother, why?"

At this moment, he suddenly shuddered, staggered back a few steps, and said with a look of shock: "Brother, you want to kill me? I am your biological brother!"

"Why!"

Wu Su let out a long sigh, but his murderous intent did not weaken at all.

"For the sake of the family, as the head of the family, I must do this!"

Wu Gou felt the firmness in Wu Su's words and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Brother, brother, please forgive me!"

"I have contributed to the family, and I have shed blood for the family!"

"The Wu family can't treat me like this!"

Facing Wu Gou's wailing and begging, Wu Su's eyes flashed with helplessness!

How could he not understand that Wu Gou had worked hard for the Wu family all his life?

But! For the entire Guanzhong clan, and even more for the countless people in the Guanzhong Wu family.

He must die!

Otherwise, let alone the Qin Empire, the entire Guanzhong clan would not let go of the Wu family!

Wu Su shook his head, closed his eyes, and said with a cold expression: "You die alone in exchange for the safety of the entire family. My eldest brother will try his best to protect your family!"

"Otherwise, if you are not decent, don't blame your eldest brother for helping you look decent. If the entire Wu family takes action against you, your wife, children, and children will not be able to survive!"

After saying this, Wu Su turned around and walked outside the manor, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

About an hour later, an unwilling roar came from the dilapidated manor.

Then everything returned to calm again.

And Wu Su's figure had already left without knowing when...

The next day!

The Eighth Prince's Mansion of Great Qin!

Shortly after Ying Ziye had breakfast, a servant quickly walked up to him and said, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister wants to see you."

"Um?"

"Invite him in!"

"Here!"

The servant bowed and left.

About a moment later, Li Sixing hurried to the main hall, bowed and said: "Your Highness, Wu Gou committed suicide outside Xianyang City and left a suicide note!"

"The suicide note clearly explains his crimes."

"Um?"

Ying Ziye was startled and said with a sneer: "Interesting!"

"Yesterday, I ordered my disciples to tangle with the black armored men of the Qin Empire to buy myself time to escape..."

Then he took Wu Gou's suicide note, and on the silk cloth, dyed red with blood, he described a long speech——

Wu Gou, a minor minister, was horrified. He knew that he had committed such a catastrophe that it was difficult to write down anything.

Taking advantage of his position, he secretly sold salt, iron and other items prohibited by the empire.

And use water consumption money to steal food and wages...

"Your Highness, this Wu Gou obviously wants to die and take all the crimes on himself."

Li Si frowned and said in a deep voice.

When Ying Ziye heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "In this way, Wu Gou's death will naturally not threaten the entire Wu family or even the Guanzhong clan!"

"Thinking about it, he must have met someone last night and said something to him!"

"This is why I choose to die, and I will die without any evidence!"

Li Si nodded in agreement and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, once Wu Gou dies, all the clues have obviously been lost!"

"I'm afraid it will be a little difficult if we continue to investigate this matter."

Ying Ziye smiled, stood up slowly and said, "Don't worry, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge!"

"Let's go to court first and have a look!"

"Here!"

…

An hour later!

Xianyang Palace!

In the early morning, the First Emperor ascended the throne and sat on a high platform.

All civil and military officials gathered together to report state affairs one by one.

On the high platform, the First Emperor sat on the dragon chair, showing no anger or authority.

It’s time for Lisi!

Li Sizheng was about to leave the court, preparing to report Wu Gou's incident to the First Emperor.

"His Majesty!"

It's time!

A voice sounded.

Without waiting for Li Si to report the matter, Wu Su took the lead to walk out of the courtroom and knelt down in front of the main hall.

"Wei Chen Wu Su apologized to His Majesty the First Emperor, and only then did he learn about Wu Gou's mistakes. Wei Chen failed to control his second brother Wu Gou, and allowed him to commit various evil deeds, committing a capital crime in the Qin Empire!"

"According to the investigation of Weichen, my second brother ran a shop, sold private salt and iron, and even forcibly embezzled the land of the people of the Qin Empire. The mistakes he made were extremely heinous!"

"On behalf of the entire family, I am willing to accept His Majesty's punishment, and will do everything possible to find out Wu Gou's corrupt money and make up for the interests of the country that he has embezzled!"

Wu Su burst into tears and his righteousness was overwhelming.

It seemed that he was really ignorant, felt ashamed for Wu Gou, and grieved for the damage to the interests of the Qin Empire.

However, smart people and insiders can see that Wu Su is nothing more than a trick.

Once something is exposed, there is no way to hide it.

When it’s time to break, it’s time to break!

"snort!"

"Wu Su, you..."

Li Si's tone was slightly angry, and he was about to defend Wu Su.

But before Li Si finished speaking, Ying Ziye reached out and grabbed him, shook his head, and said calmly: "The head of the Wu family has a heart of repentance, and the criminal has been executed."

"What's more, all the Guanzhong clans have made contributions to the Qin Empire. I sincerely ask my father to give me a lighter sentence!"

After saying that, Ying Ziye raised his hands towards the high platform.

"What!"

All the officials in the court were shocked.

Li Si and Wu Su were even more puzzled!

The First Emperor looked down at the civil and military officials under the high platform and looked at Ying Ziye, also a little surprised.

A little more than half!

The First Emperor looked calm and calm, and shouted in a deep voice: "Since the criminal has been punished, I will no longer pursue this matter!"

"What's more, what Ye'er said is quite reasonable!"

"But! Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. Wu Su is ordered to be suspended for three months to repent!"

"Half a year's salary penalty!"

The words echoed heavily in the hall.

All the officials looked surprised!

When did His Majesty the First Emperor become so easy to talk to?

The three-month lockdown is better said to be resting at home.

As for the half-year salary penalty, it is even more of a joke.

How many officials live on their salaries? As long as they are nobles with military merit, they will have land rewarded by their families.

The same is true for ministers and officials. Although they do not have titles, they still have the means to acquire thousands of acres of fertile land...

On the other hand, Wu Su cried even more fiercely, kowtowed and said, "I am ashamed of my kindness to Your Majesty!"
