Zhao Gao snorted coldly and looked back at Yan Le, the indifference in his eyes undisguised.
He said indifferently:
"You still ask why?"
"If I hadn't stopped you, you would have been dead by now."
"Don't get involved in this anymore."
"After you return, immediately go to the Supervisory Office to report it to the officer, saying that you just discovered that there is something wrong with the calligraphy presented by the engineer. It was not developed by the engineer at all, but was clearly stolen from a Shizi. After you find out,
I also immediately came to report and expose it.”
"Remember, when you go to report something to an official, you must go to the censor of the history."
"and......"
"You have to kill something."
"You didn't know anything about what the engineer did before."
"All of this was the workman's own initiative. At first you just thought the calligraphy he presented was good, so you presented it without knowing the whole reason."
"You just have to admit your oversight!"
"Remember?"
Yan Le's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment.
He wondered:
"Uncle, it's not necessary, is it?"
"Didn't I stop Engineer 2 from taking action?"
"Wouldn't it be unnecessary for me to go to the officials and expose him?"
"Uncle, do you think that Shi Zi is too complicated? That Shi Zi is really not that powerful. He did know the First Emperor, but only once. Other than that, he had no contact at all. The First Emperor didn't even know him at all.
Remember him."
"even......"
"As long as we act quickly enough, before others can react, we can capture this Shizi and force him to learn the ink-making process. With your status as uncle, this matter will not cause any splash at all."
"I feel like uncle, you are making a fuss out of a molehill."
Yan Le still felt that Zhao Gao was a little surprised.
A look of anger appeared on Zhao Gao's face.
If Yan Le hadn't been his son-in-law, he would have wanted to beat Yan Le to death right now.
"Making a fuss out of a molehill?"
"You haven't realized the seriousness of the problem until now, and you really don't realize it, but I can tell you that this matter is more serious than you think."
"Do you think Hu Cao is covering up His Majesty's ugliness?"
"Too self-righteous!"
"What kind of person is Your Majesty? How can you care about these things?"
"Back then, Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Gao Jianli attacked the city, Chang'an rebelled, and Changping rebelled. None of these incidents were more serious than the attack on Lanchi. When did Your Majesty ever take it to heart?"
"Don't use your mind to think about what His Majesty did."
"You just have to do what I say."
"otherwise......"
"If this matter is really exposed, considering the things you have committed before, even if you have nine lives, it will not be enough for the prison history to check."
"I'm warning you one last time."
"In the future, you should not get involved in anything related to this Shi Zi. His affairs are not something you can get involved in. Even I am not qualified, do you understand?"
Zhao Gao's eyes were so cold that they could kill someone.
After Zhao Gao's repeated warnings, Yan Le finally realized something.
There was a look of horror in his eyes.
whispered:
"That Shizi is the First Emperor's personal..."
Before he finished speaking, he was frightened back by Zhao Gao's sharp eyes, and he nodded vigorously.
He said solemnly:
"Uncle, I understand."
"I will never provoke you again."
"What I could think of at that time was that this kid was..."
"But I hired this engineer. He didn't know anything about Mo Bao before. If he denies my report to the supervisor, wouldn't it be a false accusation against me?"
"Not only will the engineer be fine by then, but I will be punished even more."
Zhao Gao said coldly:
"do not be afraid."
"I will state the 'truth' to His Majesty."
"If nothing else happens, I will be the one to send the message to the prison. Then as long as you firmly say that you don't know anything and put all the problems on the engineer, I will have a way to save you."
"But I'm afraid your position as Gong Cao will be gone."
"But it's no big deal."
"As long as we can get away from this matter, official positions like Gongcao will be lost if they are lost. As long as people are still there, there will still be a way to deal with these official positions."
"But you have to remember one thing."
"If this thing really goes wrong, don't involve me."
"Something can happen to you, but not to me!"
"do you know?"
Zhao Gao looked very serious.
He was very aware of his situation. As a close official of the First Emperor, many people in the court were watching him. If this matter really implicated him, someone would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
When.
A letter of impeachment was sent up.
Even if His Majesty doesn't want to touch him, due to the formality, he will order the Tingwei Mansion to conduct a strict investigation. By then, everything will be out of his control.
Not to mention Li Si.
He couldn't believe it!
Yan Le nodded.
He knows the seriousness of the matter.
If something happens to him, he can still ask Zhao Gao to rescue him. If something happens to Zhao Gao, then they are really dead.
Zhao Gao raised his head and looked at the sky.
He said in a deep voice:
"You go back first."
"Hold that engineer still."
"Also, let your people monitor it."
"As soon as it gets bright tomorrow, go directly to Tingwei's Mansion to expose him. We must escort the engineer to the prison before he can react."
"Of the two of you, only one can get out of prison."
"You know what to do, right?"
Yan Le laughed evilly.
"Uncle, don't worry."
"With you mediating inside, if I can't escape unscathed, that would be stupid. I know how to do this."
"The calligraphy treasure was presented to me by Engineer II."
"I saw that this calligraphy treasure was of excellent quality, so I presented it to him. Fortunately, His Majesty appreciated it. He wanted to see the craftsmanship of the ink making, so I passed it on. It turned out that this calligraphy treasure was not made by the second engineer at all, but was actually the result of his greed.
As a reward, I took the calligraphy treasure of a Shizi by force."
"After learning about His Majesty's generous reward, this engineer even wanted to take credit for it under his own name."
"He took advantage of the fact that no one noticed the true nature of the ink treasure, so he wanted to forcefully obtain the ink-making technology privately. But just when he was about to succeed, I found out in time and stopped him, and then went to the official to expose the engineer.
Shameless behavior.”
"I'm guilty."
"Guilty of negligence!"
"It's just that I didn't know anything about Mo Bao before, and I reported it to the officials in time afterwards. Although I will be implicated, I won't be implicated."
"According to the law, I will only be demoted by one rank and then fined two ranks."
"What does uncle think?"
Zhao Gao's face was still serious.
He said in a deep voice:
"This is just the best possible outcome."
"If Supervision History finds out there is a problem, you can only find a solution on your own. I will not get involved, and you should not implicate me."
"Think about it yourself."
"I will inform Your Majesty of this matter after the court meeting is over tomorrow."
"The final result depends on your luck. If His Majesty does not want to pursue the case, you can still escape. If His Majesty investigates strictly, you will own the trouble you caused!"
Finished.
Zhao Gao glanced at Yan Le coldly, then walked away without batting an eyelid.
Yan Le stood stunned on the spot, his expression ugly.
