Zhao Gao was shocked to hear the news that Wei Si had been arrested. When he heard the news, Zhao Gao was a little unsure at first, but until he was really sure, he was stunned on the spot, with a look of shock, anger, fear and fear.
Afraid.
He was really frightened.
On this day, he didn't even enter the palace. Instead, he stayed at home and tried every means to find out about Wei Si. However, General Yi supervised Wei Si very strictly and had no plans to let the outside world inquire about the situation.
This made Zhao Gao's heart even more excited.
He was already frightened.
He had never been so scared at that moment, because he was really afraid. Wei Si knew too many things about him, and Wei Si could really kill him!
Zhao Zhai.
Zhao Gao locked himself in the room.
At the same time, he kicked everyone else out of the house.
He needs silence.
He was sitting on the table, restless, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. His eyes were full of ferociousness, madness and fear. Especially when he thought of Wei Si's confidence, it made Zhao Gao feel extremely aggrieved.
Uncomfortable.
Sitting there for a long time.
When he thought that Wei Si might have recruited him, he could no longer hold his breath. He pushed the desk in front of him with all his strength, and then cursed hysterically: "Old man, old thing, do you really think that I, Zhao Gao, are afraid of you?"
?”
"You forced me to do it back then!"
"Nothing to do with me!"
"Your Majesty will definitely find out. I, Zhao Gao, will definitely be fine, absolutely fine."
"You old thing, you should have died a long time ago, but you should never go out to die at this time and provoke Qin Luoheng. You didn't succeed back then, but you can succeed now? You
It’s wishful thinking!”
"But why are you mad?"
"You are clearly trying to drag me into the water!"
"Don't even think about it!!!"
"I, Zhao Gao, will never be fooled by you."
"no way!"
Zhao Gao cursed angrily and his eyes were almost bloodshot. He was really frightened. Only by venting his words could he barely maintain a certain calmness.
He knew that Wei Si was determined to die.
Wei Si is already old. Even if he doesn't seek death, he won't live much longer. Moreover, Wei Si is a resourceful person and will not die so easily. The reason why he approached Qin Luoheng must have been carefully calculated.
But Zhao Gao was not sure whether Wei Si would bite him before he died.
Wei Si is a dead person.
But he is different.
It took a lot of effort for him to reach his current position. He still has a lot of things to do. How can he be willing to give up everything just like that?
He doesn't want to die either!
It's just that he can't do this.
Although he had a certain influence in the court, Wei Si was deeply involved in the matter, and Wei Si's case was personally supervised by the First Emperor. No official dared to do anything, and these officials did not dare to do anything, let alone expose it to the outside world.
leak any information.
His eyes suddenly darkened.
Zhao Gao's already sensitive emotions undoubtedly became extremely uneasy.
He paced back and forth in the room.
I kept thinking about the past between myself and Wei Si in my mind, trying to find a way to break the situation so that I could stay out of it.
Just when Zhao Gao was thinking hard, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
Zhao Gao was about to scold him when he saw his brother Zhao Cheng come in.
Zhao Gao looked away, frowned and said displeasedly: "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Cheng saluted and sneered: "Brother, I just heard the news that Wei Si was arrested. This old guy helped our brothers in the past, so he pointed at us. Did he ever think that he would have
today?"
Zhao Gao said coldly:
"You think that's a good thing?"
Hearing this, Zhao Cheng was stunned and said in confusion:
"Is not it?"
"Wei Si extorted us a lot in the past, but now he has been investigated by the government, and he is already registered as a 'dead person'. After the government finds out, how can they keep him alive?"
"He is dead this time!"
"Brother, didn't you hate Wei Si the most in the past?"
"Why is my brother not happy at all when he heard that Wei Si was arrested or even about to die?"
Zhao Cheng's eyes were full of doubts.
Zhao Gao cursed angrily:
"idiot!"
"I do want Wei Si to die, but I just want Wei Si to die of old age or be killed by others. I don't want him to die in the hands of the government, and I don't want his identity to be exposed. There are too many secrets in this man.
.”
"You also know that Wei Si and I don't get along."
"Don't Wei Si know?"
"If he framed us in prison, we might not be able to defend ourselves at all. Moreover, we were released by the Guards. If His Majesty examined us, how could we not find this out?"
"When......"
"We have become his accomplices!"
Zhao Cheng's face changed slightly.
He hesitated and said:
"That shouldn't happen."
"It's been so long since we came out of the Hidden Palace. Even if His Majesty finds out about this, he shouldn't care too much, right? It's been so long since this happened."
Zhao Gao coldly snorted:
"Long?"
"Is it really that long?"
"Wei Si was executed in the ninth year of the First Emperor's reign."
"It is now the thirty-second year of the First Emperor, and twenty-three years have passed. But has the First Emperor ever thought of a way out by letting Wei Si go?"
"No!"
"Even if His Majesty doesn't care."
"But we can't help but care."
"This matter will definitely fall into the ears of the First Emperor. Once the First Emperor hears about it, all our efforts over the years will be almost in vain. Do you know?"
"You have relied on my power to do random things outside these years. Do you think I don't know? But do you think it is me who the officials outside are afraid of?"
"you are wrong!"
"I'm just a CRRC official."
"The annual rank has just reached six or seven hundred shi, and the official positions in Xianyang City are much higher than mine. Do you think they turn a blind eye to you just for my sake? I am a petty official.
How can it come into their eyes?"
"It is His Majesty they are afraid of!"
"My official position is not high, but I am a close minister of the First Emperor."
"All the dignitaries of our Zhao family came to be close to the First Emperor. If the First Emperor knew that we were released by the Wei Si, do you think His Majesty would still be so close to us?"
"Losing His Majesty's favor is fatal to a eunuch!"

"The other courtiers were never afraid of me, Zhao Gao. What they were afraid of was the First Emperor who stood behind me. We are the First Emperor's dogs from the beginning to the end!"
"But there are countless dogs like us in the palace. Once we fall out of favor, other dogs will immediately pounce on us and completely replace us. Without the closeness of the First Emperor, we will be no different from other people."
"When......"
"Don't tell me that you can continue to show off your power. It's good if you don't get tricked!"
Hear the words.
Zhao Cheng's expression changed completely, and he asked worriedly: "Then what should we do now?"
Zhao Gao said angrily:
"What to do? What to do? Do I know what to do?"
"This matter has gone beyond our scope. No one has the right to interfere, and no one can interfere. Just calm down for the next few days. If you dare to cause trouble outside again, I will break your legs!"
Zhao Cheng repeatedly promised.
Zhao Gao said coldly: "Things are not that bad. Right now I don't know what Wei Si said to Qin Luoheng, and I don't know what he will do in prison. However, based on my understanding of Wei Si, even if he
Even if I get caught, I won’t tell the truth.”
"This case will go to trial."
immediately.
Zhao Gao seemed to have thought of something.
He also warned:
"Later, tell the rest of the clan that they are not allowed to inquire about information, and that they are absolutely not allowed to provoke Qin Luoheng. This person is not someone you can mess with. If you are involved in the Wei Si, you may not be able to maintain your current status.
But if you offend Qin Luoheng, you will lose your life!"
Zhao Cheng was startled.
He was about to ask more questions, but was glared at by Zhao Gao, who immediately swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, but he couldn't help but feel a little more curious about Qin Luoheng.
He had heard about Qin Luoheng.
The gathering of scholars is so eye-catching that it is difficult not to notice.
But as far as he knew, Qin Luoheng was only a doctor. Now that the doctor has been deprived of the right to participate in and discuss politics, he is no longer allowed to go to court. Logically speaking, Qin Luoheng's status has declined a bit. Why would his brother care about him?
Is he so afraid?
Zhao Cheng couldn't figure it out.
Zhao Gao obviously had no intention of explaining.
See the situation.
Zhao Cheng also left.
After Zhao Cheng left, Zhao Gao closed the door and sat on the table again. His eyes were still very gloomy. At this time, he was thinking about a question.
What on earth did Wei Si say to Qin Luoheng?!
There is also the bamboo slips that Wei Si handed over to Qin Luoheng. What is written in them? Now these are all a mystery, but they are very exciting and make people want to know the truth.
Zhao Gao whispered:
"Wei Si, an old guy, won't do things so hastily."
"I can recognize Qin Luoheng, and he must also recognize it. He dared to go to Qin Luoheng, and he must have thought carefully, otherwise he would not have exposed himself so proactively. He knows what he is involved in better than anyone else.
"
"What on earth did he have in mind?"
Zhao Gao thought for a while, but couldn't think of an explanation. In the end, he could only shake his head and said, "Maybe I'm scaring myself. Wei Si's scheming has always been with the royal family. Although I, Zhao Gao, have some issues with him, I still have some problems with him."
Compared with the hatred of genocide, it is nothing worth mentioning."
"Maybe he didn't want to plot against me at all!"
"My worries are unfounded!"
Think of this.
Zhao Gao's impetuous mood calmed down a lot.
He took a deep breath and cleared away the complicated thoughts.
This matter is no longer under his control, and the final development of the matter is beyond his control. The only thing he can do is to try his best to please the First Emperor and Hu Hai, so that when Wei Si really confesses him in prison, he can
Let the First Emperor show mercy to him outside the law.
and......
He didn't believe that Wei Si would really confess himself.
If Wei Si really wanted to plot against himself, there was no need for such a large formation, and there were many people involved in that incident. Although most of them have passed away, the heirs of those people still have considerable influence in the court.
If it was really involved, the court would be trembling.
He didn't believe that Wei Si wouldn't miss his old love.
Thought for a long time.
Zhao Gao completely calmed down.
He straightened his clothes and strode towards the palace.
Everything hasn't been settled yet, so he can't behave too abnormally, otherwise he might be fine, but his unusual behavior will make people suspicious.
He still understands this!
It's just that his face is still a little unnatural.
