Looking at the current state of Wang Wan.
Li Si felt immensely pleased within.
Then.
Li Si leaned in a little closer and whispered to Wang Wan: "This time the Imperial Guard Army took your whole clan, but it seems a few people are missing."
"You’re quite clever, you’ve managed to disperse your descendants."
"Did you foresee this day long ago?"
"But don’t worry."
"I will definitely report to Our King. Unless your sons flee from Qin, I will send them to meet you one by one."
Having said that.
Li Si stood up, ignoring the hatred-filled gaze of Wang Wan.
"Guards."
"Take the criminal Wang Wan away, guard him tightly, do not let him die." Li Si coldly ordered.
"Yes."
A few prison guards walked in, directly lifting Wang Wan and heading toward the prison.
"Isn’t the Tingwei a bit excessive in his actions?"
Watching Li Si treat Wang Wan this way, Feng Jie couldn’t help but ask.
"They have always been mortal enemies."
"Now it is Wang Wan who has lost power, thus I can treat him this way."
"If I, Li Si, were to lose power, my fate would surely be even worse than Wang Wan’s."
"To the victor belong the spoils, that’s how it is."
Li Si laughed lightly, seeing things very clearly.
Upon hearing this.
Feng Jie shook his head, saying no more.
"Minister Feng."
"Wang Wan has confessed without reserve, there’s nothing left to delay."
"Let’s enter the palace to meet His Majesty then." Li Si suggested.
"Indeed." Feng Jie nodded.
This trial really went without surprise, Wang Wan directly pleaded guilty, saving a lot of hassle.
After all, the evidence Zhao Feng gathered was too detailed, enough to convict, without need for further trial.
Within Zhangtai Palace!
Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng were still drinking and dining.
"Now there are only Qi and Chu left in the world."
"What do you think, once Qin unifies the world, should we follow the old system of the Zhou Dynasty, dividing it among vassals, or use the county system to govern the realm?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile, slightly tipsy.
It seemed casual, but in fact, carried a serious note.
"Does Our King want to hear the truth or falsehoods?" Zhao Feng asked seriously in return.
"Naturally the truth." Ying Zheng immediately said.
But his mind was alert at once, knowing that when Zhao Feng spoke seriously this way, he was absolutely sincere.
Just like when he previously proposed that the Spirit Pill was poisonous,
"For those ministers with merits on the court, naturally they would all support division."
"According to my interests, it should indeed be so."
"Among the Six States, four were destroyed by my hand, if the world is unified, not being crowned would be unreasonable, right?" Zhao Feng asked with a hint of a teasing tone.
"Naturally."
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.
With Zhao Feng’s military achievements, if division were truly implemented, he surely could be crowned as king.
"So, being crowned is what all meritorious generals and officials want."
"Who wouldn’t want it?" Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"So, you want to implement division?" Ying Zheng’s voice carried a slight hint of disappointment.
"This pertains to personal interests; being crowned is the ultimate for personal interests."
"But if viewed through Qin’s interests, division would be a continuation of the Zhou Dynasty."
"The county system is the foundation for long-term peace and stability." Zhao Feng spoke again.
