Chapter 13 The first section of the new court lieutenant

Let's say that Yingzheng abolished the expulsion order, and foreigners were able to return to Xianyang and continue their original work and life.The international sensational eviction event came to an end.Li Si single-handedly saved the fate of the entire Foreigner Group. Naturally, he also became the banner figure and spiritual leader of the Foreigner Group. Li Sirong was promoted to Tingwei, and the first thing the new official did after taking office was to rescue Zheng Guo.It stands to reason that Li Si had already achieved a brilliant victory in the struggle with the clan, so there was no need to risk falling out with the clan in order to save a state of Zheng.But Li Si is not a blind and cautious person, he still insists on saving Zheng Guo.If he can successfully rescue Zheng Guo, it will not only completely destroy the prestige of the clan, but also increase his own ambition, and at the same time repay Zheng Guo's kindness many years ago.Of course, the most important thing is that Li Si knows the value of Zheng Guo. Rescuing Zheng Guo is in the interests of Qin and Ying Zheng.In the long run, Yingzheng will eventually be grateful for his risk of saving Zheng at this time.Therefore, although the chances of saving Zheng Guo are small, it is worth a try.

The easiest way to rescue Zheng Guo is to let Ying Zheng stand up and say a word.However, Li Si knew that Ying Zheng would never speak up easily.It's not that Ying Zheng doesn't understand that once the Guanzhong Canal is completed, it will play a pivotal role in conquering the six countries and unifying the world.But he did not choose to give Zheng Guo an amnesty, but accepted the trial result given by the clan.Ying Zheng made this choice after weighing the pros and cons, out of a helpless compromise.In Yingzheng's view, using Zheng Guo's death in exchange for the temporary pacification of the clan is a political transaction that is acceptable and should be accepted.Moreover, in Zheng Guo's case, the clan followed all formal legal procedures, that is to say, Zheng Guo was sentenced to death because of the necessity of the law, not the clan's conspiracy.In the case that the clan did not make any mistakes, Ying Zheng did not dare to grant Zheng Guo a pardon rashly.After all, he wants to leave some face for the clan, and at this stage, he still needs the support of the clan.

Li Si tried his best to recall the details of the interview with Yingzheng. He wanted to know Yingzheng's attitude towards Zheng Guo's case.Li Si asked himself, does Ying Zheng want him to hold on to Zheng Guo's case?If he continues to entangle and make the case bigger and bigger, will Ying Zheng be secretly happy, openly angry, or both?Li Si could only think that if Ying Zheng didn't expressly object, it would be regarded as acquiescence.Because even if Ying Zheng had the desire for Li Si to come forward to make trouble, he would not be able to give Li Si any positive hints, and he would not be able to involve himself in this case that had been settled by the clan to any extent.

Not only can Li Si not expect Ying Zheng to come forward, but he must also try to keep Ying Zheng out of the matter so as not to cause trouble for Ying Zheng.If Yingzheng is in trouble, he, Li Si, won't get any good results either.Therefore, Li Si's only chance was to go through legal procedures like the clan.If legal terms favorable to the state of Zheng can be found to reduce the crimes of the state of Zheng, then the clan has nothing to say and can only accept the ruling of the law. Li Si went to visit Zheng Guo first.Knowing that his death was approaching, Zheng Guo was already depressed. When he saw Li Si, he forced a smile and said, "Mr. is back. I heard that Mr. Zheng was expelled from Xianyang, and Zheng has been worried about him."

Li Si said: "Brother Zheng, please be at ease. Li Si is currently serving as a Ting Wei. Li Si has the right to adjudicate all cases in Qin State. Li Si promised to rescue Brother Zheng, and he will definitely do it." Zheng Guo smiled wryly and said: "Sir, Mr. Zheng is very grateful for being able to visit Mr. Zheng, and he dare not have any extravagant demands. Mr. Don't be kind enough to lie to me, I also know your difficulties. The King of Qin once personally dealt with Mr. Zheng's case. Interrogate. Although you are a court captain, sir, I am afraid there is nothing you can do."

Li Sidao: "There is no unparalleled road, and one will always come up with a way." Zheng Guo sighed.He had given up his illusions and resigned himself to dying.Zheng Guodao, "Sir, don't give me any more hope, it will only make me more painful. For a person who is destined to die, giving him hope is undoubtedly a kind of cruelty. I just want to accept death calmly, sir, let's go You don't need to ruin your hard-earned future for Zheng." Li Si was silent for a while before he said again: "Brother Zheng, you will survive, and the Guanzhong Canal will be successfully completed under your leadership."
