Chapter 7 Self-Innocence

"This incident caused Fusu to be seriously injured, so naturally it should not be revealed. If you can find clues to prove your innocence within three days, not only will you not be wrong, but you will be successful. If you cannot prove your innocence, then the high word "High" mentioned by the assassin and you are next to Fusu, it is probably difficult to clear it up... Do you have this intention?"

Proving one's innocence? Ying Gaoyi's heart, which had just calmed down, trembled again. He thought he had successfully transferred the contradiction to Yan Le, but Qin Shihuang ignored it and still grabbed the assassin's words.

Could it be that the First Emperor was a little confused about eating elixirs? His son's words were not as good as a treacherous minister with loopholes?

No! Isn’t it equivalent to giving myself the right to investigate this matter?

Finally, Ying Gao saw the link of this matter in a short period of time. He had to admit that there was still a lot of sense that Qin Shihuang could become the one who unified China...

"I hope to find out the source of this thief for my father! I have avenged this for my brother!"

Seeing the thoughts of the First Emperor, Ying Gao finally fell into the ground with a big stone in his heart. He bowed directly under his body and agreed to the First Emperor loudly. His tone was full of confidence. How could he feel a little bit of the previous timidity?

Emperor Shi Huang was obviously very satisfied with Ying Gao's performance. He stroked his chin and said, "Whatever needs to be coordinated can be said to be with Xianyang Order."

Ying Gao glanced at Yan Le standing beside him, and saw that he bowed his head and respectfully agreed to the First Emperor, but his face was full of gloating expressions.

"There is no need for the cooperation of the Xianyang Order. The Xianyang Order only needs to do his part well. What's more, the Xianyang Order is the son-in-law of the CEIs Order, and the CEIs Order has the same name as me. Why don't he mention it? How can I be more favorable to one and the other? How dare I cooperate with him?"

Ying Gao raised Zhao Gao indirectly, which made Yan Le's expression suddenly become ferocious, but in front of the First Emperor, how dare he act rashly, he could only suppress his anger for the time being. What he was thinking was that you could do in three days?

"The officials thought, how about this matter dealing with it?"

Li Si, Feng Quji and Meng Yi nodded when they heard the questions from the First Emperor. Only Feng Quji seemed to have something to say, but he still couldn't say it when he looked at Ying Gao's extremely confident expression.

Obviously, these three high-ranking people appeared here just to testify to this matter. After all, it involved two parents and children of the First Emperor, which was extraordinary.

"Since that's the case, Gao Xianxing will leave first and come to meet his father and brother in three days!"

He gave this sentence and gave a deep tribute to the First Emperor. Ying Gao turned around and left here with great strides, leaving the First Emperor and the few people in front of the hall. He didn't know what they were planning.

After turning around, Ying Gao, who had been confident and determined in front of his father, suddenly changed his expression and his whole face collapsed.

Most of his actions just now were for Qin Shihuang, and a small part were for Yan Le and others. The original growth of Yinggao for more than 20 years has proved that Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages, did not like weak sons. He liked people who were as brave and decisive as him. Yinggao's impression was no longer very good before, and it was obviously too late to change today.

As for Yan Le, Ying Gao just wanted to suppress him. He knew that the weaker he was in front of such an enemy, the more miserable the ending would be.

As for how to find out the truth about Fusu's assassination, Ying Gao had some clues in his heart, but this matter was definitely not something he could accomplish. He could not even go to Xianyang City in three days, let alone find out the truth.

After walking out of Xianyang Palace, Ying Gao did not return to the mansion directly, but rushed to Feng Jie's mansion. After all, there were not many people among the favorite ministers of the First Emperor at present, or only Feng Jie was the only brother.

It took more than two hours in Feng Jie's mansion. After late at night, a carriage from Feng Jie's mansion slowly drove out and disappeared into the night.

After a long time, outside the gate of a high-walled mansion in the city not far from Xianyang Palace, a carriage stopped. The carriage was a gray-haired old man. This man looked easy-going and deep-eyed. It was Feng Quji, the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty today.

Outside the gate of this mansion, there are eight Great Qin soldiers lined up in a row. This is under the jurisdiction of Yan Le, the commander of Xianyang. Now it is the place where the assassin's body is placed. Since the envoy failed to find it, the First Emperor ordered Yan Le to temporarily store the body here and then deal with it in three days.

"Your Majesty ordered the old minister to check the body of the assassin to prevent the evil people from confusing the public." Feng Quji came to the door, said softly, and was about to enter.

"The Xianyang Order has a word, anyone else..."

Before Qin Bing, who was guarding the gate, had finished speaking, Feng Quji reached out and stopped him and said, "Which one do you want to follow from the oral order of the Xianyang Order or the oral order of the emperor?"

Qin's laws were strict, and Feng Quji was the right prime minister. If Qin Bing knew this, he would not be able to survive tonight if he turned him out after he knew about this.

"Then... the right prime minister invites in. Although the body is not rotten, please keep a distance from him to avoid any changes..."

While he was still reminding him, Feng Quji had already entered the room. The one who went with him was a young official holding a bamboo slip. It was obviously for recording. The Qin Bing wanted something, but when he thought of Feng Quji's previous words, he swallowed it again. But when he whispered a few words to another Qin Bing behind him, the man quietly disappeared into the night.

"Young Master checks quickly. If what I expected is not bad, Yan Le will come in a moment. If he finds you here, coupled with your relationship, it will be even more unfavorable to be in front of you."

Obviously, the man holding the bamboo slip was Ying Gao disguised himself. For several hours, he had been discussing countermeasures with Feng Jie. When he proposed to see the corpse himself, Feng Jie turned to Feng Quji for help, and then came up with this plan overnight.

How could Ying Gao not know how much risk Feng Quji took for himself? So without saying a word, he went directly to the side of the corpse, held his breath and took a deep breath, and pulled open the linen covering the corpse.

At this point, the assassin had just died for a few hours, but it was still in black. Obviously no one had touched it, or the assassin was dead, and Yan Le and Zhao Gao did not focus on a dead man who could not speak.

But Ying Gao, who has more than two thousand years of tremendous knowledge, knew that the goal of a profession called forensic in later generations was to let the corpse speak. Although he knew how to do forensic, he could still find some clues on the corpse.

Trying to avoid thinking about the smell emitted from the corpse, Ying Gao put the candle in his hand close to the corpse. This was a plain face. Just like Ying Gao thought, Feng Quji could not recognize his source after seeing it.

"It seems that's the only way!"
