Wait a minute, these things can’t be sold by that evil man’s house!
Anyway, in principle, he didn't want to let too many things leak out to bring disaster to his Great Qin. He first picked it up and summoned Su Lie, the current head of the Evil House, to come and check it out.
Fortunately, he had foresight and sent an artist ahead of time. He spent more than ten days in the army, not only drawing the shape of the thing, but also counting the number of people in the team.
There's no way around it. That thing is too conspicuous. It's only about ten feet tall, and it's impossible to ignore it.
Su Lie picked up the drawing paper on the table and looked it over carefully. He then stroked his chin thoughtfully. Then he looked at Zhao Xin with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
It seems as if I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
"Don't look at me like that, just speak!"
"Your Majesty, if this thing... is indeed produced in the Evil Man's Mansion, Your Majesty's guess is spot on!"
“…”
Xiao Chenzi next to him wiped his sweat silently. Is the current head of the Evil House coming here to seek death?
Now that external threats are everywhere, he actually dares to sell things out... and they are such high-lethal weapons.
It's obvious that the rebels are going to attack the Great Qin. If that's the case, then the people selling equipment in the Evil House are also rebels, right?
There was an eerie silence in the room for a few seconds.
Su Lie lowered his head, staring at the emperor's face quietly without moving, for fear of missing any information.
Finally, seeing that Zhao Xin didn't say anything, he dared to continue.
"Yes, a while ago, a few people came to buy things from that team, and since we at the Villain's Mansion were short of money, we agreed."
Zhao Xin raised his head from his memorial and smiled, his intimate eyes full of information about why the person in front of him was so stupid.
That’s right, this is what Zhao Xin is thinking now.
I'm so busy now that I don't even know how many troops I've sent out.
You're so good! You're clearly defending Beihai County. It's only a thousand miles away from Shanyang County. If you didn't send a message, you'd be done for. And you're even aiding and abetting the evil by sending them gifts... even if you ask for money, I won't do that!
You have really committed a serious crime.
"No, Your Majesty, this can all be explained. Really, I guarantee on the reputation of my Evil House that we are absolutely not aiding and abetting the evil to harm you."
It would have been better if I hadn't said this. The more I said it, the more suspicious this evil mansion seemed.
The main thing was that Zhao Xin was so angry that his head was buzzing and he kept waving his hands and pointing in the direction of the door.
Su Lie didn't move at all, because he knew that if he left, he would be doomed. So he just knelt there.
I have to say, his idea of admitting his mistakes is also amazing.
"Don't think you'll be alright just by kneeling here!"
Su Lie was a real good actor. He just knelt there crying with snot and tears, which was really pitiful. Especially the wailing sounded really rough.
He really had no idea what to do.
"Your Majesty, I don't ask for your forgiveness now. I just want Your Majesty to know that it was really not our intention!"
It’s so unfair, Xiao Chenzi thought.
"We didn't think much of it when he said he'd use it for plowing. We had no idea he'd turned it into a platform!"
After speaking out, Zhao Xin calmed down a bit, and his smile became even more creepy. Su Lie knew that when the emperor smiled, it was always something bad.
Ah, this time too.
"In that case, lend me half of the five hundred assassins you use for patrols, and then I can use them to assassinate and steal Wu Sheng for me!"
Half of fifty...two hundred and fifty.
"Your Majesty, this number you have chosen is not auspicious."
It was originally a piece of honest advice, but Zhao Xin slammed the table and stood up, shouting "Excellent!", which caused Xiao Chenzi to applaud in confusion.
?
What the hell is going on.
"I never thought your family was so wonderful and full of love and loyalty!"
"I've made note of this. Please send me three hundred or four hundred warriors. I'll remember this favor and will allow you to use my royal brick kiln in the future."
…
Listen to this, since it is a loan, you have to give it!
So Su Lie waved his hand and killed three hundred assassins.
He was directly sent to Shanyang County to arrest people.
He has cultivated these loyal soldiers with decades of hard work!
Seeing that everything was fine, Su Lie was about to leave, but was stopped by the guards outside the door.
"Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, so we, the minions, wouldn't dare to let him go easily, right?"
So he turned around and looked at Zhao Xin's face with a flattering smile.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Give me some of the manufacturing technology from his team. I'll send someone to your evil mansion to learn in a few days. Don't be stingy—"
Smiling on the face, but cursing in the heart.
"Of course I must! I heard that Your Majesty has a school here. Of course, I'm not interested in it, but I hope you can combine the skills of kiln making and bricklaying."
Zhao Xin shut Su Lie up with a question.
"The Ministry of Punishment also has some technical skills. Would you like to learn from them?"
"Your Majesty is truly amazing. I am truly inferior to you!"
Then he knelt down, thanked for the grace, and turned to leave.
The miser was too stingy to spend a penny, which made it difficult for the evil mansion to surrender.
In fact, Zhao Xin has been wondering during this period of time why disasters have occurred one after another on his side. Some people died of drought, some died of flood, and there were also some floods.
Nowadays, the grain harvest is so small that it's not enough to pay taxes. Is there a reason for this?
He summoned Zhuge Liang to talk to him.
"Your Majesty, do you know who established this throne?"
This is a weird question.
"The late emperor."
Zhuge Liang shook his head while waving his small feather fan and said, "No, no!"
"This throne was established by Yao and Shun. It is primarily a divine position. The one who sits on it must do his utmost to help the people. Only in this way can the Qin Dynasty flourish!"
So what you mean is that I don't do anything...
"What does this mean?"
Zhuge Liang looked extremely distressed. It must be said that everyone in the palace was a dramatic actor.
"Your Majesty, this throne represents the divine office of the Great Qin. The True Dragon Emperor sits on it with the might of a dragon. At the same time, there is a law of good and evil. Heaven is watching over your Majesty and it is your responsibility to do the right thing."
Then Zhuge Liang sorted out his thoughts and continued.
"If you don't act, disaster will strike. You must always work hard, but some things must be done on your own, and even more so, you need to be able to make your own decisions."
"Although I am a dictator, I am not the sole ruler. Although this may offend you, Your Majesty, I must enlighten you at this moment!"
"Your Majesty, when you entrusted me with the position of Prime Minister, I felt you had great foresight. I also assured you that I could help you with all your worries even if I stayed here for just one day."
"But disaster will still come. It's mainly because I didn't make the emperor do what he deserved, so naturally, Heaven will be unhappy."
