Chapter Two Hundred and Twelve, Qing Wants to Reverse?
When the governor of Shangqiu found Zhao Gao who was staying at the post station, Zhao Gao was writing a memorial to report to Emperor Qin the situation of his trip to Shangqiu.
In Zhao Gao's opinion, by guarding Shangqiu County for three days, he was actually giving an explanation to Emperor Qin. It was not that he was not doing his best, but that he really couldn't find something.
As for hoping that Shangqiu County Sheriff can find it back? Zhao Gao has no hope. If Shangqiu County Sheriff really has that ability, will he lose things?
The Shangqiu County Sheriff bowed respectfully to Zhao Gao: "I pay my respects to Lord Zhongshu Ling."
Zhao Gao didn't even raise his head and asked, "Did you find the thing?"
The Shangqiu County Sheriff looked embarrassed: "Report to your lord, not yet."
Zhao Gao's writing hand paused slightly, gave him a cold look and said, "Then why don't you go find it quickly?"
The Shangqiu County Sheriff remembered the words of the man in black, took a step forward, gritted his teeth and said: "I have found some clues, but I don't dare to pursue them anymore, so I came here to ask for your support."
"Oh?" Zhao Gao put down his pen and said in surprise: "Have you really found a clue? What do you mean you don't dare to pursue it? The other party has a great background, so that you, the magistrate of the Qin Empire, can't move forward?"
The Shangqiu County Sheriff nodded sternly: "The other party is really powerful. I might kill you, so please save me." After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Gao.
Although the Shangqiu County Sheriff chose to trust the man in black, he still hoped that Zhao Gao could protect him when the critical moment came.
Zhao Gaoleng snorted: "How can you be more powerful than your Majesty? You must know that the Yuzhou Ding is something that your Majesty must obtain. Who stole the Yuzhou Ding?"
The Shangqiu County Sheriff gritted his teeth and said, "After investigation by my subordinates, I found out that it was the Wei family who stole the Yuzhou tripod."
Zhao Gao was shocked when he heard this and said coldly: "Wei family? Don't talk nonsense. Is the Wei family someone you can bite at will?"
The Shangqiu County Sheriff said with determination: "Xiaoguan has found the location of Yuzhou Ding, which is a manor owned by the Wei family. I am afraid of being silenced and dare not act rashly."
Zhao Gao looked a little complicated. This matter involves the Wei family, so it is really difficult.
As one of the "Two Monarchs of the Empire", Lord Shang had quarrels with Emperor Qin and was serving as an official at home, but his power was not diminished. He also had disciples and former officials all over the world. How could he rashly attack him?
To put it ten thousand steps back, in terms of martial arts, I, Zhao Gao, am no match for his Shang Jun.
After Zhao Gao carefully asked the governor of Shangqiu about the situation, he learned that the manor was just a relatively remote manor of the Wei family, so he decided to avoid the important and raid the manor. After getting the Yuzhou Ding, he returned to Chang'an and asked Emperor Qin to decide what to do.
deal with.
Zhao Gao said to the Shangqiu County Sheriff: "Take me to that manor."
Then he warned: "You'd better make sure the Yuzhou Cauldron is there. If not, just wait for death."
While leading the way, the Shangqiu County Sheriff said with absolute certainty: "Please don't worry, Sir, the things must be there." Although he was not sure, he could only go to the dark side in one way.
Soon Zhao Gao, led by the Shangqiu County Sheriff, led a team of guards to a manor.
Zhao Gao directly ordered the guards: "Follow him and find the things."
The Shangqiu County Sheriff took the lead and shouted: "No one is allowed to move while the imperial guards are doing their work. Anyone who dares to run around will die."
At the same time, he led the guards straight to the backyard and came to a warehouse. When he opened it, he saw a big cauldron standing there quietly.
The governor of Shangqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone fell in his heart. The man in black really didn't lie to him, Yuzhou Ding was really here.
Then he commanded several imperial guards to carry the big tripod in front of Zhao Gao, and said excitedly to Zhao Gao: "I am fortunate to have fulfilled my duty and found the Yuzhou tripod."
Zhao Gao's face, which had been tense all day, softened a lot. As long as the things were found, he would be able to report to Emperor Qin.
Zhao Gao took a step forward, put his hand on the Yuzhou tripod, and looked at this legendary treasure carefully. Suddenly he saw a few finger marks, his face couldn't help but change, and he said sternly to the Shangqiu County Governor:
"This is fake."
The Shangqiu County Sheriff almost fainted after hearing this: "How could it be fake?"
Before Zhao Gao could reply to him, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky.
The visitor said to Zhao Gao: "Why is Zhongshu Ling free today to come to my Wei family's manor as a guest?"
Zhao Gao saluted slightly: "Sir Shang Jun, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are even more energetic."
The person who came was none other than "Shang Jun" Wei Yang.
Wei Yang smiled slightly after hearing this: "Away from the court's calculations and disputes, life will naturally be comfortable. Once this person lives a comfortable life, his overall condition will naturally be much better. By the way, Zhongshu Ling hasn't told me yet, come to Wei
What happened to the manor?"
Zhao Gao was silent for a few moments, then smiled brilliantly at Shang Jun: "By your Majesty's order, I will bring the Yuzhou tripod back to Chang'an."
Wei Yang shook his head and said, "I've seen that tripod. It's a fake. If you take it over, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's reproach?"
Zhao Gao said quietly: "It turns out that Lord Shang really had someone steal the tripod."
Wei Yang looked puzzled: "Stolen? Why did Zhongshu Ling say this?"
Zhao Gao's smile did not diminish: "Don't you know, Mr. Shang, that this tripod was originally in the governor's mansion, but disappeared inexplicably, and happened to appear in the Wei family's manor, and his subordinates had just carried it out from the Wei family's manor.
"
Wei Yang felt bad and wondered: "Is there anyone else interested in a fake one?"
At this time, Shangqiu County Sheriff interjected: "It may not be a fake, maybe it was switched by someone?"
Wei Yang gave him a cold look, which made the Shangqiu County Sheriff break into a cold sweat, and then he said to Zhao Gao: "Does Zhongshu Ling doubt my Wei family?"
Zhao Gao sighed: "I don't want to speculate too much, but your majesty has a destiny. If I don't find the real Yuzhou tripod, I really can't deliver the mission to your majesty. Please forgive me, Mr. Shang."
Wei Yang said coldly: "How does Zhongshu Ling want me to understand you?"
"Please Lord Shang return the tripod of Yuzhou in order to maintain the righteousness between the king and his subjects."
Wei Yang said angrily: "Zhao Gao, you dare to frame me?" As soon as he finished his words, his momentum exploded, and Zhao Gao backed away repeatedly, and then said: "Qin Lu, you have to think clearly about the crimes of framers.
"
Zhao Gao sighed: "It's you, Mr. Shang, who should think clearly. It was you who led the people to establish Qin's laws one by one. Please don't make any mistakes, Mr. Shang."
Wei Yang replied coldly: "It's considered well-intentioned to frame me with a fake one. Are you going to kill me?"
Zhao Gao was speechless for a moment. He was not a fool. Now, he could smell something unusual. What use would it have to him if Lord Shang secretly stole a Yuzhou tripod?
Zhao Gao sighed: "Let your majesty come and judge this matter. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he asked the Shangqiu County Sheriff to take the guards back. He grabbed the fake Yuzhou Cauldron in one hand, jumped into the air, and rushed directly to Chang'an.
…
In the Yangxin Hall, a fake Yuzhou tripod was placed in the main hall. Emperor Qin looked at Zhao Gao expressionlessly: "Is this the good thing you brought me? Are you right about my trust in you?"
Zhao Gao quickly bowed and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this matter is full of weirdness." Then he recounted all his experiences after arriving in Shangqiu.
Emperor Qin said coldly: "According to speculation, shouldn't the Yuzhou Ding still be in the Wei family? Why is it so weird?"
Zhao Gao replied: "Your Majesty, if it was really done by the Wei family, how could the Shangqiu County Sheriff find out?"
"Maybe it's not secretive?"
Zhao Gao was speechless for a moment. His Majesty seemed to have a wrong reaction. He even suspected that it was the Wei family.
After a long time, Emperor Qin continued: "Go to Shangqiu again and bring a message to Lord Shang for me. As my subject, he peeked at the artifact of Sheji. Ask him: Do you want to rebel?"
