Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

"Is this related to Yu Qing?"

"Shh..." Many eyes fell on Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo was still very indifferent, without any change in his face.

Lin Xiangru continued: "What happened after Zhao Qing went to Shangdang?"

Guo Zong said: "Guo did not go to Shangdang with Zhao Qing, but judging from the news from Zhao Qing, the sharp drop in ginseng production is likely to be a shock to Yu Qing and the bandits in Shangdang County. It's heaven-shattering."

There was an uproar in the hall, and many people had stunned expressions on their faces.

"Understood.

Yu Qing died unjustly. "

"That's right, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. If it's me, heh." "But Zhao Qing's methods are too drastic, right?"

"Zhao Qing was originally known for killing and decisively, so there is nothing strange about it."

Lin Xiangru laughed and said very gently: "Do you think Yu Qing and Zhen Potian are colluding secretly?"

Guo Zong hurriedly said: "Guo is not clear about this matter, but only learned from Zhao Qing's letter."

At this time, Lord Pingyang suddenly said: "Qing Lin, even if you know the relationship between Qing Zhao and the ginseng business, it can't prove that Qing Zhao is the mastermind behind the killing of Qing Yu."

Lin Xiangru nodded and said with a smile, "Pingyang Lord is right.

The reason why the old man asked Guo Zong to say this was just to tell everyone that Zhao Qing didn't have no motive to kill Yu Qing.

Everyone must know how expensive the price of ginseng is. Let alone the old man who lost [-]% of the price, it would be impossible for anyone to sit still and kill the person who caused the loss on the spot.

Ladies and gentlemen, the old man is not wrong, right? "

Lin Xiangru's statement was recognized by most people this time.

Zhao Kuo finally spoke: "Lin Qing, did you forget what Lord Pingyang said before, that I already have the evidence that Yu Xin secretly communicated with Qin State's spies to shake the sky?"

Lin Xiangru laughed loudly: "A bandit is actually a spy of the people of Qin?

Zhao Qing, this story of yours is indeed quite true. All the witnesses and physical evidence seem to be extremely tight and flawless.

But is this really the case?

In fact, the old man knows why you are so eager to kill Yu Qing, because Yu Qing has other evidence of your crimes! "

Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "What evidence?"

Lin Xiangru nodded, and said to Guo Zong: "Guo Zong, tell me how Zhao Qing secretly smuggled weapons to Qi through your Guo Chamber of Commerce!"

After Lin Xiangru's words fell, the whole hall was suddenly in an uproar.

"Zhao Qing actually..." "Could it be that Zhao Qing is really a traitor?"

Chapter 137 The mastermind behind the scenes - Miao Xian!

After what Lin Xiangru and Miao Xian said, the wind direction in the hall suddenly changed.

Smuggling weapons to other countries is definitely an out-and-out act of treason!Zhao Kuo's face remained unchanged, and he responded calmly: "Lin Qing, do you want to use this to divert everyone's attention from the matter of Yu Xin's collusion with Qin's spies?"

Lin Xiangru smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Qing, let's discuss the matter first, how about letting the old man finish this matter?"

Zhao Kuo spread his hands: "Please."

Lin Xiangru turned to Guo Zong and said, "Tell me."

Guo Zong glanced at Zhao Kuo, seemed a little guilty, and then said cautiously: "That's right, Zhao Qing called me to his residence not long ago, saying that there are a large number of weapons and armor in the smelting workshop of the Zhao residence. It was sold to Qi State, and it has been negotiated with Qi State Xiangbang Housheng.

However, due to the large number of weapons, it is difficult to transport them, so he hoped that I could use the power of Guo's Chamber of Commerce to transport these weapons out of the territory of Zhao State, and meet with the people of Qi State at the border of Qi State. "

Lin Xiangru continued to ask, "How many weapons are there?"

Guo Zong said: "Three thousand weapons!"

There was an uproar in the hall.

"Three thousand, this is enough to equip an elite army."

"Unexpectedly, Zhao Qing actually married the Princess of Qi! It doesn't seem surprising."

"Oh, it seems that the old man misjudged Zhao Qing."

Even Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Pingyang, two of Zhao Kuo's hard-core allies, changed their faces drastically, and there was a hint of suspicion in their eyes when they looked at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo didn't care about the hustle and bustle, but turned his attention to Miao Xian again.

So this is the trap you set for me?

It's really nothing new.

Miao Xian did not avoid Zhao Kuo's gaze, but showed a meaningful smile towards Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo nodded, and also smiled at Miao Xian.

Lin Xiangru's words continued: "Guo Zong, you" At this moment, Zhao Kuo suddenly interrupted Lin Xiangru's words: "Lin Qing, you've been talking for so long, it's time for me to say something."

Lin Xiangru looked at Zhao Kuo in astonishment, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "Zhao Qing, you." Zhao Kuo ignored Lin Xiangru at all, but directly said to Guo Zong, "Guo Zong, I'm asking you, what did you say just now?" Did you say it voluntarily, or was it instructed by someone?"

After Zhao Kuo's voice fell, there were several low-pitched laughter immediately.

"What is Zhao Qing thinking?

Guo Zong has already testified in the court, so why not withdraw his confession before the battle? "

"That's right, this is a major national event, and it's no joke!"

"I see, Zhao Qing is in a mess, scared, and cramped for the time being!"

Zhao Kuo didn't pay attention to others' words, but stared at Guo Zong coldly, and continued: "Guo Zong, you have to think carefully.

Now that the king and all the officials of the great Zhao are here, the king can naturally help you solve any problems under the watchful eyes of everyone.

If it's after today, hey, you don't know the end of the sly rabbit, the lackey, right? "

The voice of ridicule reappeared, and this time the voice was obviously louder than before. Even Jun Pingyuan and Pingyang Jun showed disapproval on their faces. Although they didn't speak, their thoughts were probably the same as the others.

But the next moment, Guo Zong's words made everyone's jaw drop.

I saw the complexion of this wealthy Zhao country changed for a while, and suddenly he knelt down with a puff: "Your Majesty, Guo Zong is guilty! In fact, what Guo Zong said just now is all false, and so is all the evidence. Zhao Qing has never Guo Zong was forced to smuggle weapons to Qi State!"

Guo Zong's words were thrown into the water like a heavy bomb, causing the entire hall to explode at once.

Zhao Wang, who was a little restless at first, was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Miao Xian at the side.

Miao Xian's face was also full of surprise, his eyes fixed on Guo Zong, his anger was clearly visible.

Zhao Kuo didn't intend to give everyone a chance to continue thinking, but immediately raised his voice and said, "So you mean that someone secretly ordered you to testify in front of the king to slander me?"

Guo Zong's expression was deep, and he kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, Guo Zong knew it was wrong.

It is true that the lives of Guo Zong's family are in the hands of others, so there is no choice but to do it. "

The uproar grew louder, and the originally peaceful hall suddenly turned into a vegetable market.

"how so?

Guo Zong actually retracted his confession. "

"It is said that Guo Zong is also a person who has connections with the government. Who can force him?"

"Could it be?" Zhao Kuo said loudly: "Who is it that wants to deceive the king, who asked you to give false testimony?

Say, say his name! "

Guo Zong was sweating on his forehead and his body was trembling, but finally he gritted his teeth and pointed at a person in the hall: "It's him, eunuch Ling Miao Xian!"

The hall suddenly fell into a stillness.

All eyes were on Miao Xian who was originally standing quietly in a corner of the palace not far behind King Zhao.

Miao Xian's face was extremely exciting at this moment.

Zhao Kuo laughed, and then looked at Miao Xian coldly: "Eunuch Ling Miao Xian! It turns out that you, an old thief, cheated and wanted to take my life?"

Miao Xian subconsciously denied it: "Zhao Qingxiu wants to talk nonsense, the old man didn't at all." "You just want to shirk responsibility!"

Zhao Kuo interrupted Miao Xian's words with a loud shout: "Because of your stupidity, the spies of Qin State were able to assassinate me in Handan immediately after the failure of the Battle of Changping; In the name of heaven, you stationed in Shangdang County majestically; it was also because of your stupidity that the spies of the Qin State were able to kill Yu Xin swaggeringly in the city! And you, in order to shirk responsibility, do not take the initiative to investigate Forget it, even threatened Guo Zong to blame me?

Dazhao has a sycophant like you, it is simply a shame to Dazhao, a shame to the king! "

Zhao Kuo's words were urgent and fast, echoing in the ears of everyone in the hall like thunder, and everyone's expressions changed immediately.

Miao Xian was originally guilty, and he was caught off guard by Zhao Kuo's conspiracy, so his face turned pale all of a sudden.

Seeing this scene, the ministers of Zhao Guo suddenly understood something.

"Look at the eunuch Ling!"

"Is it true that as Zhao Qing said, it was the eunuch's dereliction of duty?"

"I just said that Zhao Qing is so loyal to Da Zhao, it is impossible to do such a thing!"

Even King Zhao's expression changed, and his gaze towards Miao Xian was even more strange and inexplicable.

With a bang, King Zhao slapped the table: "Miao Xian, come and tell me what's going on!"

Chapter 138 Take Miao Xian Down

Zhao Wang was really angry.

All along, Miao Xian has been his most trusted confidant.

Since King Zhao was a child, Miao Xian has been the eunuch of Zhao Guo. It can be said that King Zhao was watched by Miao Xian and brought up with one hand.

It is precisely because of this that King Zhao's trust in Miao Xian is unquestionable.

But now, King Zhao suddenly discovered from Zhao Kuo's counterattack that Miao Xian seemed to be deceiving himself!What is the reaction to being cheated on by someone you trust so much?

This can be seen from King Zhao's flushed face and trembling body.

Miao Xian felt very guilty when Zhao Wang stared at him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, it is Guo Zong, Guo Zong and Zhao Kuo are partners in the ginseng business, they must have joined forces to slander you!"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said, "Miao Xian, Miao Xian, do you want me to tell the truth?"

Miao Xian knew that he had no escape route at this moment, so he said harshly, "Zhao Kuo, don't talk nonsense here just to get rid of the crime!"

Gritting his teeth, Miao Xian simply knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, this old minister has served His Majesty since he was born, and his loyalty to His Majesty is a lesson to be learned from the sun! Please don't listen to Zhao Kuo's slander, old minister. It's really innocent!"

Zhao Kuo glanced at King Zhao, and found that King Zhao hadn't spoken, apparently he was still shaken, so he sneered and said, "Miao Xian, since you forced me, don't blame me for telling everything!"

Lin Xiangru stood aside, suddenly a little puzzled.

The situation is wrong.

Obviously Lin Xiangru was still the main attacker against Zhao Kuo just now, why Zhao Kuo suddenly turned the target of the counterattack to Miao Xian, and fought fiercely with Miao Xian, but put Lin Xiangru aside instead.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and said coldly: "Miao Xian, you said that you have been working for the palace since before the king was born, but" Zhao Kuo pointed at Guo Zong and sneered, "Isn't Guo Zong not from before the king was born?" Just do things for the palace?

Why is your loyalty to the king so obvious, but Guo Zong's testimony is just nonsense? "

Miao Xian's body shook violently.

In the main hall, Zhao Guoqun's ministers looked blank at first, and then there was an instant uproar.

"What, so Guo Zong is working for the palace?"

"So, Zhao Qing isn't the owner of the ginseng business?"

"So that's the case. No wonder the ginseng business is unimpeded in our Great Zhao. So it's not because of Guo Zong's wrist and Zhao Qing's status, but because of the king!"

Zhao Wang's face was green and pale, he slammed the table again, and shouted angrily: "Enough is enough, you all shut up!"

The hall fell silent for an instant.

King Zhao's gaze was full of murderous intent, he kept going back and forth on Zhao Kuo, Miao Xian and Guo Zong, and finally locked on Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo, you said that Miao Xian betrayed the widow, what evidence do you have? "

Originally, under Miao Xian's persuasion, King Zhao wanted to take the opportunity to execute Zhao Kuo.

But now, Zhao Wang suddenly felt that he might be betrayed by Miao Xian!If it is said that King Zhao has always been betrayed and deceived by Miao Xian, isn't Zhao Kuo, who Miao Xian is committed to getting rid of, a good person?

Therefore, King Zhao chose to ask Zhao Kuo a question!Zhao Kuo said unhurriedly: "Guo Zong's testimony can be used as part of the evidence."

Zhao Wang said irritably: "That's not enough!!"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "It's really not enough.

Your Majesty, but I have other evidence.
