"Don't slander me!"
Even though Li Si was accustomed to a lot of big scenes, at this moment, he couldn't help but violently jump, and then his sight shot toward the opposite Zhao Gao. Although it was just a touch, but it still fell into the eyes of Li, who had been paying attention to the two people's movements.
He took the bait!
Although Li's complexion was dignified, seemingly very serious, but only his heart understood his excitement at this moment.
This game of chess was too big, and now that he finally saw the dawn of victory, how could he not be excited?
But Li Si's answer was too hurried, and his complexion suddenly turned pale. Even that assassin just looked at him, but actually didn't say anything, although at this time, not saying anything was more terrible than saying anything.
But with Li Si's self-cultivation, such a reaction was a bit too much.
Instead, it looked like a reaction due to a guilty conscience.
Everyone tacitly looked at each other, especially Ying Zheng, even Li could feel that Ying Zheng's body suddenly became dignified, let alone Li Si who received Ying Zheng's gaze.
This was the first time Li saw Li Si's always calm face reveal such an expression. Fortunately, this matter involved a lot of people, Ying Zheng, in addition to the relevant personnel, didn't find other spectators. Otherwise, no matter what the end of Li Si was, later on, his official status would be greatly reduced.
"Li Si, you shut up for me." Ying Zheng's eyes were extremely gloomy. Li Si knelt down and didn't raise his head for a long time.
"You, say, the person behind, who is it!" Ying Zheng looked at the assassin, almost said word by word.
"Prime Minister, this lowly one can only be loyal to you in the next life!" Almost shouted this sentence, that assassin immediately bit his tongue to commit suicide.
Until the blood from the corner of his mouth dripped down, drop by drop on the main hall, everyone recovered from the strange silence.
The sudden turn of the plot made Ying Zheng's expression look like she wanted to kill someone. And this time, Li Si didn't lose his composure, although he was kneeling on the ground, his spine was straight.
"Good, really good!"
Ying Zheng was anxious, flung her sleeve, and angrily shouted: "Come, put Li Si in prison for me, and remove him from the position of Prime Minister!"
Li clearly saw that Li Si's whole body suddenly trembled, his hands on the ground had already unconsciously clenched into fists, and could even see the blue veins on them.
Although all of this was in the original plan of Zhao Gao, it was in the case of the previous unforeseen event. The most important thing was that in his original plan, even if Ying Zheng blamed him, she wouldn't remove the position of Prime Minister.
Now looking at the appearance of Ying Zheng, he was afraid that this matter really couldn't be settled.
If Li Si's position of Prime Minister was not guaranteed, then for them, wouldn't he have no value?
Zhao Gao's mind turned like lightning, and Li was also the same.
This kind of punishment, Li had his own plans, so he also quietly watched the development of the situation.
After the four guards came forward and took away the body of Li Si and the assassin, Ying Zheng's anger gradually disappeared, turned around and sat down on the Dragon Throne.
"Li Si has committed such a big crime, in your opinion, how should we deal with him?"
Ying Zheng bent her right hand's five fingers, slowly tapping the Dragon Throne's handle, the air was filled with a trace of chill.
Everyone was silent, it seemed that no one was willing to take the lead, even Hu Hai, who had always been incomparably jumpy in front of Ying Zheng, at this moment, lowered his head, as if trying to reduce his sense of existence.
"Fusu, you first." Ying Zheng's narrow eyes with a sharp gaze swept around, and finally fell on Li's body.
Li muttered to himself for a moment, and then opened his mouth: "This son thinks that this matter can't only depend on the assassin's one-sided statement to determine Li Si's guilt. Moreover, on that day, this son clearly saw that the assassin was aiming at the four of us.
Therefore, this son thinks that it's better to thoroughly investigate this matter. "
Li's words were a statement of facts, said impartially, and with his usual compassionate style. Ying Zheng didn't comment on his words, at least she didn't get angry.
She just fixed her eyes on him, and then slowly shifted her line of sight.
"Hu Hai, what do you say?"
"This son — — this son doesn't know.
This son thinks that what brother said is reasonable. "
Hu Hai's eyes flashed a dark light. He was very guilty about this matter, not to mention, for the current situation, he didn't discuss it with Zhao Gao. At this moment, naturally, he could only follow the principle that the less he said, the less he made a mistake.
Although he lost an opportunity to win a good impression in front of Ying Zheng, the most important thing now was obviously to protect his own safety.
Ying Zheng snorted under his breath.
"I let you and Fusu go out to see the world, unexpectedly you came back with this appearance."
Although Ying Zheng said so, but in any case, he didn't get angry, not to mention, now was not the time to be entangled.
It seemed that he knew that he couldn't get any useful answer from his two sons, so he turned his eyes to his other two right-hand men.
Zhang Han, needless to say, was not present when this happened, as for Zhao Gao — —
Ying Zheng narrowed her eyes, making people unable to see what color was in those deep and narrow eyes.
"Zhao Gao, what do you say?"
The air seemed to be stagnant for a moment, as if it was an illusion of everyone.
Zhao Gao took a step forward unhurriedly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not protecting the two young masters well. I am at fault."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised her eyebrows, but looked at Zhao Gao for a long time, but didn't continue to say.
After a long time, Ying Zheng said: "This matter can't be entirely blamed on you, after all, it's a traitor."
Even Li, at this moment, couldn't understand what Ying Zheng was thinking.
Just now, Ying Zheng ordered Li Si to be imprisoned. Although the position of prime minister was taken away, perhaps in many people's eyes, this was the scene of Ying Zheng's anger.
But Li knew that Ying Zheng actually didn't believe that this matter was done by Li Si.
Because, as an emperor, if he didn't completely understand his own subjects, at least he understood most of their temperament.
Not to mention that Li Si, as the prime minister, could achieve such a high position, he must have done a lot of things for Ying Zheng in private.
