Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 281 The game between Fusu and Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao diverts trouble to the east! Fusu asked Li Si a question!
"Father, there are two people imprisoned in the son's residence. These two people are witnesses."

"One is the poisoned servant, and the other is the assassin who sneaked into the house to kill people and silence them."

"The servant has told Erchen that someone bribed him with a lot of money and asked him to poison the wine to get rid of Erchen."

"The assassin who was caught sneaking into Erchen's house also confessed personally that Zhao Gao sent him to kill people and silence them."

"My son also knew from this assassin's mouth that Zhao Gao secretly trained some assassins."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and told him the evidence in his hand.

After everyone heard Fusu's words, they looked at Zhao Gao who was kneeling on the ground.

Fusu really produced evidence, and it was the most important witness.

In this way, Zhao Gao's crime can be proven, and he dared to secretly cultivate assassins to murder the prince.

These ministers did not expect that Zhao Gao, who usually had a smile on his face, would act so boldly.

Meng Yi and Li Si breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Fusu's words. Fusu had evidence to prove that what he just said was true.

The two of them were relieved. Now that Fusu had a witness, the two of them wanted to see how Zhao Gao could defend himself.

Hu Hai's face had turned pale at this time, and he knew very well that what Fusu said was true.

He didn't expect that the bribed servant and the assassin sent by Zhao Gao would not only be caught by Fusu but also tell the whole truth.

As a result, the situation was very unfavorable to his teacher. Hu Hai was now in a panic and he didn't know how to continue to defend his teacher.

Zhao Gao felt a little scared when he heard Fusu's words. Fusu actually had witnesses ready.

Zhao Gao was caught off guard, but he would not give up easily.

"Your Majesty, I definitely have no adverse thoughts towards Fusu."

"Master Fusu was poisoned by a servant and sneaked into the house by an assassin. It must be the person behind these two people who told the servant and the assassin."

"Once you are caught, you will frame it on the old slave."

"Mr. Fusu has solved some things for His Majesty during this period, which has also made some people hate Mr. Fusu to the core."

"So among these people, there must be someone who wants to get rid of Mr. Fusu."

"I beg your Majesty to investigate this matter in detail and restore my innocence!"

Zhao Gao looked at the First Emperor and kowtowed to defend himself.

Some ministers nodded slightly when they heard Zhao Gao's words. In their opinion, there was really no reason for Zhao Gao to risk the execution of the three clans by plotting to murder Mr. Fusu.

As Zhao Gao said, maybe people who had a grudge against Mr. Fu Su arranged these things and then framed these things on Zhao Gao.

They agreed with some of Zhao Gao's words. Although Fusu had solved several problems for His Majesty during this period of time.

But it also offended many people. The treasury was empty and taxes were paid from the homes of the squires and nobles, causing these squires and nobles to lose a lot of benefits.

These squires and nobles had a grudge against Fusu, and it was not impossible to arrange for people to bribe servants to poison and assassinate him.

In addition to these squire nobles, there are also the so-called Six Kingdoms nobles in Xianyang City.

They cannot return to their homeland now, and it was Fusu who proposed to His Majesty not to allow them to leave Xianyang City.

There is also the fine salt business. Almost all the salt shops in the West City have closed their shops.

Many salt merchants hated Fusu, and Fusu had indeed offended many people.

Meng Yi and Li Si's expressions became solemn again, although they didn't want to admit it.

I have to say that what Zhao Gao just said in defense of himself was very good. Fusu has been solving problems for His Majesty during this time.

It is true that he offended many people, and it is not impossible that some people hate Mr. Fusu so much that they take risks.

After Zhao Gao said these words, he picked himself clean instantly.

Zhao Gao did not deny that Fusu's witness was forged, but said that Fusu's witness deliberately slandered him.

Meng Yi and Li Si knew very well that Mr. Fusu would not wrongfully accuse others.

Since both witnesses mentioned Zhao Gao's name, the man behind the scenes must be Zhao Gao.

Hu Hai had a hint of joy on his face when he heard Zhao Gao's words. He was still thinking about how to defend the teacher just now.

Unexpectedly, the teacher came out of the predicament in just a few words, and Hu Hai admired the teacher even more.

"The teacher is right. Although my brother has solved some problems for my father during this period, he has also offended many people." "My father, the emperor's ministers suggested that we send people to strictly investigate those six people in Xianyang City. People of the country.”

"Including the shopkeepers of the salt shops in the West Market and the salt merchants behind them, as well as the squires and nobles who pay taxes."

"My son believes that those who want to murder my brother are among these people."

Hu Hai faced the First Emperor and expressed his thoughts.

Zhao Gao's words just now reminded him that Fusu's testimony could not be said to be forged now.

Only by bringing disaster to those people he mentioned can his teacher be safe and sound.

Zhao Gao, who was kneeling on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Hu Hai's words.

He had seen the looks of other ministers when he had just finished speaking. Zhao Gao saw some ministers nodding slightly after hearing his words.

Zhao Gao knew that these ministers believed what he said just now when Hu Hai's words came out.

Zhao Gao believed that His Majesty would also investigate this matter strictly, which would give him a chance to breathe.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard what Hu Hai said. He thought what Zhao Gao and Hu Hai said made sense.

The witnesses detained in Fusu Mansion may indeed have deliberately framed Zhao Gao.

Meng Yi and Li Si felt anxious when they saw the First Emperor nodding slightly.

Your Majesty has always trusted Zhao Gao. Now after hearing what Zhao Gao and Hu Hai said, it is very likely that he believes that Zhao Gao is innocent.

"Father, I dare to impeach Zhao Gao today."

"There must be sufficient evidence. I believe what these two witnesses said is true."

"There are many people who hate my sons and ministers deeply, and those people are just thinking about it in their hearts."

Fusu was not affected by the words of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and looked at the First Emperor with an indifferent expression and expressed his thoughts.

Yesterday, he had promised the teacher that Zhao Gao's crime must be proven today.

If he couldn't bring down Zhao Gao, he would be sorry for the teacher's guidance and help during this period.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu who looked confident and said, "Since you have sufficient evidence, tell it in front of all the officials."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and said, "Before I tell you the evidence, I have a question for Prime Minister Li Si."

When everyone heard Fusu's words, they looked at Li Si. Li Si, who was thinking about how to prove Zhao Gao's crime, was stunned when he heard Fusu's words.

He quickly reacted and looked at the First Emperor. The First Emperor looked at Li Si and nodded slightly.

"Young master, if you want to know anything, Li Si will tell you everything."

Li Si looked at Fusu and bowed his hands.

"Every eunuch and maid in the palace, including the soldiers patrolling the palace, each has a wooden plaque to prove their identity."

"I would like to know if there is indeed such a rule?"

Fusu looked at Li Si and asked his question.

Li Si was a little confused when he heard Fusu's words. He didn't understand why Fusu would ask such a thing.

"Young Master is right. The eunuchs, maids, and soldiers patrolling the palace each have a wooden sign that represents their identity."

"These wooden signs can show that they are on duty in the palace."

Although Li Si didn't understand, he still told what he knew.

Fusu nodded slightly when he heard Li Si's words, "Can the wooden signs on the soldiers patrolled by the palace maids and eunuchs be forged?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Li Si shook his head in denial after hearing Fusu's words, and continued: "The reason why the palace maids, eunuchs, and soldiers patrolling are allowed to wear wooden plaques."

"It is to prevent people with bad intentions from entering the palace. If anyone dares to forge wooden signs privately."

"No one would be so bold as to forge wooden signs if they were caught wanting to kill the three tribes."

Li Si looked at Fusu and said that the wooden sign would not be forged.

The other ministers looked at each other after hearing the conversation between Fusu and Li Si. They didn't understand why Fusu asked about the wooden sign that represented his identity.
