Zhao Xin found himself transmigrated into a novel, becoming the great villain, a delusional tyrant. This tyrant was obsessed with wine and women, lingering in the imperial harem and never attending...
Damn it... Don’t let him catch anyone, otherwise we’ll all be killed, cut into slices and fed to the dogs!
Besides, we can’t lock them all up now. We are here to welcome the three generals. It would be disgraceful if we lock them all up directly.
But if he lets it out, he will be laughed at by the whole world.
Say he is incompetent.
He didn't even notice others doing evil right under his nose, what else could he be but incompetent!
Damn it.
"Your Majesty, it would be better to just release them all now. Besides, locking them all up wouldn't be appropriate. Besides, there are both good and bad people here. We can't let a rat spoil the whole barrel."
Oh no, there are still two.
Although they are hidden quite deeply, they are still two mice.
He was really angry and frustrated. These two mice had ruined the welcoming banquet he had specially prepared for these three people. He had originally thought that these generals would give everyone a reassurance.
In the end, he was intercepted by this person.
And what Zhuge said just now must have his own reasons.
"Your Majesty, I also think that instead of arresting everyone now, it would be better to release them all..."
After all, if this person keeps silent, it is really impossible to find out the truth. It is better to go from open to covert and follow the clues directly.
Then he gave a wink, and Zhao Xin acted accordingly, sending Xiao Chenzi, who was beside him, out quickly.
Lock everyone in this palace first and go out to find out what's going on.
As a result, Xiao Chenzi ran back and knelt in front of the hall again.
"Your Majesty...the eunuch who served the dishes was beaten to death!"
!
What.
He had deliberately only dealt ten slaps. Although it would cause slight injuries to himself, he would be able to return to the mountain normally after recuperating for half a month. How could he possibly die?
"Dead?"
"The evidence is irrefutable. Not only are there slap marks on the face, but there are also red marks all over the body."
It was obvious that he was beaten up...
"Bring him here. I want to see who will carry out the execution today. Besides, someone dares to do evil right here at the door. How powerful must this person be to make you not even take me seriously?"
What I said...
Don't take the emperor seriously.
Aren't you just waiting to die?
"Your Majesty, I have found you."
Those who had slapped their faces immediately fell to their knees, kowtowed madly for fear of being blamed by the emperor. They did not dare to stop for a moment, for fear that if they stopped, they would be punished by the emperor.
"Who is it?"
"It's none of my business. I really don't know. We left right after the execution. How could we dare to hit him any more? Besides, we have no grudge against this eunuch..."
Those people's crazy rejection gave Zhao Xin a new idea.
"Come here! Send all the eunuchs in this room and the people serving the dishes to the prison and interrogate them one by one."
He just didn't believe it. How could the truth not come out?
"Alright, stop eating. As for this kind of banquet, the three of you can go back and host it again. After all, I have nothing to say."
No one expected this to happen, nor did anyone expect that these people would be so bold as to do it under his face. How much courage and determination do they have?
Damn it.
The banquet was over.
Prime Minister Zhuge stepped forward, and even though the emperor said to adjourn the banquet, the group did not move when they saw that the emperor did not move, for fear that the emperor would come up with some other theory out of thin air and they would be suspected.
"I told you to leave quickly, didn't you hear me?"
The ministers stood up and walked out, bowing and then dispersing one by one. The man sitting in the corner was obviously panicked. He had never expected that the emperor could do such a cruel thing. He was so...
He has been arrested. If I had known, I would not have let him pretend to be a eunuch. Even if he could get away with it this first time, if it was found that he was not a eunuch, he would probably be sentenced to death.
The good guy was afraid that this would not happen, so he was beaten to death according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, I do feel that... the person behind this is somewhat suspicious. There's even something deliberate about their actions, almost like they're imitating someone."
The back, corner.
Zhao Xin glanced towards the corner, then looked at the two empty seats.
Well, could it be in this corner...
"Xiao Chenzi, give me this list of names. I want to see who is sitting in this corner this time."
But... what you can think of, others can't think of. Besides, the King of the North Sea went back directly to wake this person up, and then he retired here. Later, when the king summoned him, he knew nothing about anything.
Yes, if he didn't go, how could he know...
Zhao Xin also grasped a characteristic, he didn't go there at all.
"Since you said that, I'd like to know what you did last night."
The minister thought about it.
"Your Majesty, it seems I went to bed early that night. Besides, I didn't come even when summoned. I just happened to be particularly sleepy that day, so I went to bed early. Is there something wrong with Your Majesty?"
It's not just a problem, it's a big problem.
Everyone on the list yesterday was present. If this minister didn't come, who replaced him yesterday?
Zhao Xin's only flaw was his obsessiveness. He was too persistent. As soon as this person appeared from his palace, he had to get to the bottom of it.
But it's not that easy.
Whether searching throughout the Qin Empire or in the capital, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Looking for a needle in a haystack is too absurd.
Overall, they couldn't find any trace of this person. Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that with the way they were catching him, the person would have run away long ago.
Besides, we have to release them. There are dozens of people in here. It is impossible to arrest them all and put them in prison to interrogate them one by one.
If it turns out that it really isn't him after the torture, it would be an indelible blow to the court.
In this case, I don't plan to discuss it too much. Let it be. There's nothing that can be done about it.
If you want to try it, then try it. If you don’t want to try it, then forget it.
Now Zhao Xin just hopes that the palace maids and eunuchs can also reply with a message.
But I didn't expect that after three days of searching, there would be no results.
This was within their expectations, but it was a bit frustrating. This was the first time he hadn't been able to solve a case. It was also a case of unsolved injustice.
And this is the first case where he did it so blatantly and it could not be detected.
Either that person was good at pretending and had clearly gotten away with it, or else that person committed suicide before leaving, leaving no trace.
"Then let's look for the letter recruiting palace maids, eunuchs, and guards. I'll gather them all together and check the list to see if there are any missing people."
Such a pair is indeed missing nearly three or four people, and the names of these three or four people will seem particularly unfamiliar in their eyes, as if they have never seen them before.
Then the truth is revealed. These people are obviously imposters.
