Chapter 178: Food Issues Now - Jia Xiong's Conspiracy(2/2)
"Who knows you!" Zong Zheng chuckled, waved his hand, and vetoed, "This matter is purely false and cannot be mentioned again. As for the wealthy businessmen who are obstructing it, I dare to ask the young master, where are the wealthy businessmen? The wealthy businessmen from six countries are concentrated in Xianyang.
, are all under the supervision of our court, who dares to cause trouble? To cause trouble is to seek death."
The ministers nodded.
Indeed, since its unification, Great Qin has taken a very close look at the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen of the Six Kingdoms, and they would never do such a thing.
"So, Mr. Han is making alarmist remarks and wants to disturb the order of the court in our country. Let me ask you, what is your intention?" Zongzheng pointed at Mr. Han, his eyes blazing with anger.
Han Shaofu showed great dissatisfaction and vehemently retorted: "I am an upright person. I am by no means alarmist and have no intentions. I suggest that you report this matter to Your Majesty immediately and let His Majesty make a decision."
After speaking, he looked at Feng Quji pleadingly, hoping that Feng Quji could speak for him, but Feng Quji didn't speak and just smiled, which disappointed him.
"Absurd!" Zong Zheng flicked his sleeves and slapped the table directly, "This is a trivial matter and should not be disturbed by His Majesty. Furthermore, His Majesty is ill. If this matter bothers him and causes damage to the dragon's body, it will be your crime.
"
"Let this matter go, there is no need to mention it again!"
These words directly blocked the way to report to His Majesty. Han Shaofu was indignant, but the Prime Minister did not speak out. No matter how hard he persisted, it would be useless, so he stopped talking.
Then, the ministers reported one after another that Zong Zheng made decisions one by one with high spirits and arrogance. He felt that this was the power he should have, and the entire hall should be his.
"You guys still have something to report. If you have nothing to do, you will withdraw from the court." Zong Zheng glanced at the whole place and was very proud to see that all the ministers were silent.
"I have something to report."
The person who spoke was Jia Xiong, and he walked out quickly, bowing his hands with the utmost courtesy.
"Oh, what's the matter? Please report it quickly." Zong Zheng looked very anxious, as if this matter made him very happy.
"I want to impeach Li Zhao."
Li Zhao?
The ministers looked at each other in confusion, and they all seemed to be thinking in their hearts, why was Li Zhao so popular that he was impeached from time to time, but thinking about it, he was a very popular person, and he didn't know how to turn around, so he should be impeached.
But, what exactly is it?
Feng Quji was not surprised and kept smiling, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. Indeed, according to his acting style, Li Zhao's matter had nothing to do with him.
Li Zhao was among the ministers. When he heard that Jia Xiong was going to impeach him, he immediately glanced over, but he quickly hid himself back.
"Oh! Please report what Li Zhao has committed." Zong Zheng was very concerned about this matter, and he did not forget to glance at Li Zhao, with a half-smile on his face.
"No!" Jia Xiong paused, with a serious look on his face, "The Second Books incident has been a big deal recently. Li Zhao took advantage of the students' enthusiasm for the Second Books and deliberately raised the price of the Second Books, which made the students very resentful."
"Then some students came to Chang'an Township and asked Li Zhao for justice, but Li Zhao was so crazy that he killed all the students. Even Dr. Dai Zhao was not spared."
"This son ignored our laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty and deliberately harmed people's lives. He deserves to be punished for his crime!"
"Is this really happening?" Zong Zheng looked distressed and angry, but the trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth was revealed unabashedly.
"This is absolutely true! The entire Xianyang City can testify."
Um!
Some ministers also nodded. In fact, the events of yesterday were still fresh in their minds. Hundreds of students went to Chang'an Township with sincerity, but in the end there was no follow-up. So what if they weren't killed by Li Zhao.
You must know that he had the intention to kill students before, and he used a large-scale murder weapon.
Li Zhao sighed secretly, knowing it in his heart.
When Jing Wuquan said it before, he still doubted whether Jia Xiong really wanted to kill him. At this moment, it seemed that it was almost the same person who wanted to kill him, but he still couldn't figure out why the animal wanted to kill him.
In the place of death.
And this Zong Zheng, who has never been in contact with him before, why does he act so enthusiastic?
For a moment, he didn't like this animal at all.
He frowned, but his heart was not panicked.
Suddenly, Zong Zheng's cold gaze came over and he shouted: "Li Zhao, do you know your guilt?"
Li Zhao's reaction was mediocre. He didn't even bother to consider etiquette and said, "What crime am I guilty of?"
These words made Zong Zheng so angry that he slapped the table repeatedly, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Deliberately raising the price of the second book, disrupting the students' minds, and even killing the students, this is a crime."
"It's purely false." Li Zhao replied calmly, "I, Li Zhao, have always been law-abiding and will never kill students. It's Jia Xiong who wants to harm me."
"You still refuse to admit it! If you do, someone will come and capture Li Zhao and torture him to see if he admits it or not." Zong Zheng roared angrily.
This is a gesture of surrender.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Quji immediately stood up and smoothed things over.
"Zong Zheng, there is no rush to punish the criminal. Li Zhao is the commander-in-chief of our court. Even if he kills a student, the evidence must be conclusive. Your verdict is hasty."
"snort!"
Zong Zheng rolled his sleeves and snorted coldly. He did not refute Feng Quji's words, so he asked Jia Xiong: "General Jia, do you have any definite evidence?"
"Of course, my servant witnessed all this. He is Li Si."
Jia Xiong glanced at Li Zhao teasingly, his gaze seemed to contain something very obscure and unpredictable.
"Okay, okay, pass it on to Li Si." Zong Zheng was overjoyed and immediately gave the order.
Chapter completed!
