"If everyone could just declare their innocence out of thin air, what would be the point of having a Ministry of Punishment?"
"Your Majesty, this must be a misunderstanding. Where did you get this thing?"
Qi Peng explained.
"A misunderstanding...it must have been someone else's doing. Besides, you signed it yourself, how could you not know?"
Zhao Xin threw the thing into Prime Minister Zhuge's arms, trying hard to suppress his expression, looking particularly gloomy.
"I don't think something signed by yourself could be fake. Besides, you signed it yourself and you don't even know what's written on it?"
That would be a complete joke.
“…”
This sentence gave him an outlet to pour out his thoughts and a chance to search for clues. He vaguely smelled the scent of a clue.
No! What do you mean by signing it yourself?
There is a problem.
He only remembered that he had indeed given a copy, but he hadn't written anything on it. It seemed that there was something wrong with the empty imperial edict.
I was careless.
Previously, this imperial edict was dealt with because of its disorderliness, but I never expected that someone would tamper with it, write their own ideas on it, and then sell it.
Damn it.
In the end, it ended up in the hands of someone else. It looked like it belonged to the Qin Dynasty, but it also seemed that it was an enemy of Zhao Xin.
It's a little hard to say about this enemy.
"Your Majesty, may I ask what the six major families of the Great Qin are?"
"I can't remember clearly. Besides, the main forces among them are the Feng and Zhu families."
Qi Peng was thinking about the Feng family and the Zhu family. He seemed to have some impression of one family. He heard that the self-important Li family came out of retirement relying on the reputation of their ancestors.
But unfortunately, it was a tragic accident.
In the end, they ran into the Qin Dynasty directly, and their entire territory was robbed to expand the Qin territory. In the end, the piece of land that was given to Zhao Xin was also theirs.
However, he did have the opportunity to become a prince before, but he was too impatient to establish a family. Generally, a famous family can be granted the title of prince.
Do you really think that this name sounds good when the two are stacked together?
Besides, he had occupied so much of his land before, so what if he was promoted and given a title of nobility? But he just didn't seize this opportunity.
There were a few normal people in the Li family before.
Just like the ambitious young people today, they always have great ambitions and want to take back the Qin Dynasty, but they fail at one point. In the end, they are hit by a cup of poisoned wine and even find the place where they die.
The commotion caused by those people and their families was indeed quite large, and in the end, the late emperor gave up and gave them some land, but it was very small.
It is just a drop in the bucket compared to the previous Qin Dynasty.
But no matter what, it was a reward, especially a reward of fiefdom, so he beat drums and gongs and shouted, trying to get these people to celebrate for him.
Of course, those who were rewarded with fiefdoms in that place were generally the focus of the emperor's attention.
So let alone the local magistrate, even the prefect had to rush to pay tribute to him every month, and every word he said was about promotion and title, as if this person was here for vacation.
So life is pretty good.
And now it may be that all the normal people with great ambitions have died, so people nowadays have gradually become abnormal, and then one by one they have become ferocious and vicious. Moreover, it is worthy of being the Mobile Ministry of Punishment, and their little tricks of punishment are more cruel than the other.
This clever little punishment trick was even appreciated by several emperors.
The most popular saying in the Li family before was probably: "Why didn't you tell me about this recipe sooner?"
Listen, is this human language?
Some of the tricks currently used in the Ministry of Punishment actually came from his mouth, and those that were vicious but could not kill people were the first choice.
I have to say that Zhao Xin has also used that method to punish criminals, and it has to be said that it is really effective!
It is worthy of being the emperor's mobile Ministry of Punishment. If he did not want to occupy the Qin Dynasty and changed his career to become a eunuch beside the emperor, he would probably have a hard time.
It's just a bit miserable, being a eunuch.
Besides, nowadays, for the sake of money, what does it matter if it’s less?
"Your Majesty, is the Zhu family famous for being mentally ill?"
That's a great point...
"Don't insult people like that."
?
Isn't it rumored in the industry that the Zhu family is crazy?
"The Zhu family is at least a wealthy and famous family. Besides, I've heard rumors before that a large and prestigious country has even occupied many pieces of land."
The history of such a great man must be admired and praised for his excellence.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I believe that the conversation of such people must be extraordinary."
Yes, we don’t know how many people were stabbed, otherwise how can it be said to be extraordinary.
"A hero's origins are not questioned. Besides, it's not the Zhu family you should be worried about. I'm getting off topic."
Zhao Xin had simply dragged the long-lost topic back to the subject. Qi Peng looked up to see His Majesty, then specifically asked a servant to serve him tea.
"Bring a pot of tea, and let Your Majesty taste the iced tea leaves that are only produced in the extremely cold regions of Dongwu."
I heard it was a good stuff, and someone had planned to give him a box before, but Zhao Xin gave up because he really couldn't taste the flavor of this tea and it was worse than drinking boiled water.
When I drink this stuff myself, I feel like my face can turn into Godzilla.
"Why, could it have any other precious uses?"
Just listen to the name. Ice-chip tea leaves, it's obvious that they're good stuff.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to guess. Once the food arrives, you'll know for sure. Besides, Your Majesty, this tea is truly a stunner!"
This is really good stuff for tea lovers.
Zhao Xin just wants a lot of talent.
He believed that as long as he had talented people, he could make any amount of money and then turn the interest into a huge fortune. Who knows, one day he might be able to become the ruler of various countries, and then marry a beautiful and wealthy woman and reach the pinnacle of success.
To think that an emperor only has such simple needs is really... surprising.
"Your Majesty, the tea is here. Do you want to serve it yourself or have your subordinates serve it?"
Qi Peng waved his hand, then took two tea bags from the teacup and placed them in two bowls of white soup. He then sprinkled some tea leaves directly on top. The icy tea leaves floated freely on the brown water, and in the end a strong fragrance burst out.
fragrant.
It's a very refreshing fragrance that makes people unable to stop and finally indulge in it, leaving themselves alone here feeling sad, sentimental and unhappy.
Zhao Xin couldn't help but feel happy when he smelled the fragrance, and his whole body felt enlightened.
"Your Majesty, please serve tea."
He had to ask things clearly before serving tea, he was just curious just now.
"What did you put in the tea bag just now? So now you are not making ordinary tea at all, right?"
Yes, there is nothing wrong with this, so I wonder what the emperor is thinking.
