Chapter 378 What do you mean? Its not over, right?
The young eunuch shivered and did not dare to say a word for his own life.
The other eunuchs and maids in the palace felt the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox in their hearts, but none of them dared to show it on their faces. They all performed their duties as if they didn't see anything.
The First Emperor picked up the teapot, poured it out, and drank. The sound of drinking water was the same as that of other people.
This emperor who did not disdain to kill people to establish his authority, but was powerful, said leisurely:
"In this Xianyang City, as long as I think about it, nothing can be hidden from me."
Ying Chengqiao sneered.
[What are you bragging about?]
"Li Mu, Lu Buwei, Lian Po, Xunzi..."
"..."
The First Emperor silently put down the tea cup. He couldn't drink the tea anymore!
After filing the case and getting up, the First Emperor walked past the young eunuch, kicked him, and casually said "Go down."
The young eunuch was overjoyed and grateful for his morality. He banged his head and knelt on the ground. He kept facing the First Emperor and withdrew from Zhangtai Palace.
He didn't dare to kowtow too much. He was afraid that if he kowtowed too much, His Majesty would be upset and kill him again.
He was so afraid of death that he didn't even dare to look gratefully at Ying Chengyu who saved his life.
"I can't convince you what kind of person you should be.
"But I can tell you what kind of person I will become after you die."
Grabbing Ying Cheng's head with both hands, the First Emperor pulled him up to face the young eunuch who was retreating at a constant speed.
The young eunuch lowered his hands, lowered his head, and his body was tense, but he still could not hide the uncontrollable shaking of his shoulders due to the fear in his heart.
"If you are not here today, he will die. You have to live well."
The corners of Ying Chengyu's mouth continued to curl up, and the sarcasm in his sneer became more intense.
"You treat me like your eldest nephew? You killed him, so what does it have to do with me? Moral kidnapping has no effect on Naigong. Naigong has no morals."
"Then what did you stop just now?"
"..."
Ying Chengyu was silent for a moment.
"It doesn't matter if I can't see it, but it doesn't matter if I see it."
"Okay, I will give you this face. After you leave, I will kill this person with a stick."
"..."
Ying Chengyu looked at his brother coldly.
"Don't tell me this next time, it will make me feel bad."
"I thought you would tell me not to kill anyone. As long as you open your mouth, I will not kill this person."
"You don't like to be threatened, and neither do I. I'm not your son, and I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
"I'm not teaching you to do things, I'm just helping you do things."
Ying Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the gaze piercing through the two gaps was extremely sharp.
"What's the meaning?"
"I only have a younger brother like you. As an elder brother, how can I sit back and ignore you when you are assassinated? When I succeeded to the throne, I personally promised my father that I would take good care of you."
"She's dead."
The First Emperor's face turned cold instantly, like a thousand years of ice, and everyone in the palace except Ying Chenglong suddenly felt chilled!
The fingers of the palace maid holding the lamp trembled slightly.
The eunuch who stood with his hands lowered buried his already bowed head.
The two lieutenants stationed in front of the palace door waiting for orders at any time felt the cold air in the palace burst out, through their clothes, into their backs, and straight from their spines to their heads. They were even colder than the bronze Changge in their hands!
"not enough.
"When did you become so kind? If you are assassinated, just kill the head culprit."
Ying Chengyu's face was as dark as water, he glared at the First Emperor angrily, and walked away.
Although he knew that it was too late now.
"Zhang Han."
The voice of the First Emperor sounded from behind him and spread from the open door to the outside of the main hall.
"only!"
There was a clear shout from outside the hall.
Zhang Han, wearing the skull armor designed by Ying Chengyu himself, stood in front of the Zhangtai Palace.
The gate of Zhangtai Palace is very large, and Zhang Han's body is not strong enough to block the entire gate, not even half of it.
But while he stood here, Ying Chengyu couldn't get out.
"roll."
Ying Chengyu kicked out with all his strength.
Zhang Han was holding a long sword on his waist. The sword was not out of its sheath. He held the scabbard horizontally in front of him and forcefully received Ying Chengyu's angry kick.
The two collided with a muffled sound.
Zhang Han's left foot is in front, his right foot is behind, his feet are in a bow, and his body remains motionless.
"Mr. Chang'an, I'm offended."
Finished speaking.
The surging internal energy was like a violent wave, spreading from his Dantian to his hands, and from his hands to his sword.
Zhang Han pulled back the scabbard, spread his five fingers and pushed his hand forward.
Pei Ran's unstoppable force suddenly surged forward, and Ying Chengyu, who had been warned in advance, felt a huge mountain pressing towards him, and retreated with a dark face to avoid its power.
Zhang Han fought off Ying Cheng and Naizhi and did not enter Zhangtai Palace. He stood in front of the Zhangtai Palace like a door god with an apologetic face.
Xianyang Street.
The city defense troops filed out in units of ten, and each commander led the city defense troops under his command and rushed into the houses of the nobles one by one.
There was a Lang Guan in every city defense army. The Lang Guan issued an arrest order signed by the Ting Wei himself and took away either himself or their relatives amidst the horrified expressions of the nobles.
Some nobles collapsed to the ground, urinating incontinently, and smelly urine flowed all over the floor.
Some nobles cried out that they were wronged and yelled that "this is retaliation and excluding dissidents."
Some nobles said nothing, quickly prepared their horses with dark faces, and rushed straight to Tingwei's mansion.
The nobles reacted so violently not because the city defense army teamed up with Lang Guan to arrest the person, but because the arrest warrant stated the name of the person to be arrested, but did not include the crime of arrest, which Qin law was violated.
The most important thing is that the arrest warrant actually states the punishment to be imposed - the owl's head!
This is something that has never happened before. The case has not yet been heard and the punishment has been determined in advance.
No one knows the origin of this storm. This sudden disaster is even more sudden than the sudden heavy snowfall.
In Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Chengyu, who was violently knocked back by internal force, knew it very well.
After Zhang Han used this method a few times, he would be unable to make ends meet, and his combat power would drop sharply. As long as Zhang Han didn't change his moves, he would be able to rush out after trying a few more times.
But he also knew it.
Zhang Han, a master of swordsmanship, did not use his sword to fight with exquisite swordsmanship. Instead, like a lucky man who suddenly gained a lot of internal energy but didn't know how to use it, he poured out all the internal energy in his body to save his face.
No matter from any aspect, Zhang Han can absolutely crush him. This method of crushing with internal force is the most honorable. It will neither hurt him nor make him miserable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ying Chengyu's face was ugly, and the voice of the First Emperor made his face even more ugly.
"When you were assassinated in the past, you traced the origins from the assassin to the mastermind, and everyone along the line would be killed. This time you don't have to do it yourself, I will help you."
He responded coldly.
"She has a personal enmity with me and doesn't do other people's business. I've asked someone to verify that she has no companions. No matter who you want to kill, you've killed the wrong person."
"I did not make a mistake in killing him."
Tingwei Mansion.
Tingwei Zhang Tu was sitting on the desk, looking selfless and calm, but in fact his back was covered with sweat.
There were thirty or forty people kneeling on the ground in the hall, all of them were very young, and most of them had a look of fear on their faces.
These kneeling people belong to various noble families, and several of them are big nobles. They have made great contributions to the Qin State. In the past dynasties, there are people who have come to the palace and held small meetings with the King of Qin.
But today, he wanted to execute all the members of these major families.
Although he is one of the Nine Qings, an absolute high-ranking official in the Qin State, he will stand at the top of the power pyramid of the Qin State.
But killing so many people at once put him under great pressure, and he would offend more than half of the nobles of Qin.
If there were only people kneeling in the hall, Zhang Tu, the court captain, would be under pressure, but it wouldn't be such a big pressure.
Most of Zhang Tu's pressure came from the patriarchs of the major families who stood in the hall and watched. Not only did they remain silent, but they also gave stern looks to the family members kneeling on the ground to silence them.
Gan Luo, Wei Zhang, Sima Yi...
Taken out one by one, they are all pictures before becoming a court captain, existences that need to be looked up to.
The heads of these aristocratic families gathered together to listen. When he thought of being judged as the leader of their tribe in front of these people, Zhang Tu wanted to run away.
[It’s really hard to be a court captain. I miss Li Si.]
"Zhou Wen, you have used this before."
Zhang Tu dropped a sheepskin bag from the desk with a straight face.
Zhou Wen, who was at the front, looked at each other with the head of the Zhou family. Seeing that the head of the house had no instructions, he lowered his head to examine the somewhat familiar thing.
After just one glance, he remembered what it was.
Before the building collapsed, the new steward named Ma Li was really to his liking.
"I have used it. This is a hot water bottle. It was prepared by Ma Liwen, the last man on the balcony. When entering the balcony, when it was cloudy and rainy, Ma Lien gave this to Wen to keep warm from the cold."
Zhou Wen said truthfully, he didn't think there was anything to hide about this matter, it was not a big deal.
Zhou Wu, the head of the Zhou family, listened for a moment and then focused his attention on Zhang Tu. He didn't think that just because of this incident, the younger members of his family would be killed. This incident should be just a trigger.
Zhang Tu in the hall picked up the bamboo slips, spread them out, and said in a deep voice:
"This thing belongs to assassins. Anyone who uses it will be punished immediately."
The soldiers who had been waiting by the side with Qin swords slashed down violently. Zhou Wen's body was separated without knowing what happened. He didn't know why he died when he heard the cause of death.
Blood was splashed in the hall, causing a burst of shouts.
Zhou Wu shouted angrily:
"Which Qin law is written?"
"Shut up!"
Gan Luo turned his head and shouted, Zhou Wu shut up with an angry look on his face, and all the heads of the aristocratic families looked at Gan Luo.
As the leader of the family, Gan Luo must stand up at this moment.
Gan Luo looked at the picture.
"Who is the assassin?"
Zhang Tu shook his head in embarrassment.
"I don't know."
A crowd of people kneeling on the ground screamed.
"Killing Zhou Wen without knowing who the assassin is is a frame-up! Murder!"
"Let me go!"
"Even if you use the same thing, you won't die!"
"..."
Most of the heads of the aristocratic families present were filled with hatred when they heard this.
I don’t know who the assassin is, but I just found a sheepskin bag and killed a nobleman. Even Shang Yang was not so handsome when he killed people!
Gan Luo's expression did not change.
"Who is the assassin?"
The noise in the hall was too loud and he had to shout out.
Zhang Tu slapped the stone on the table hard, and the whole hall became quiet.
According to Qin law, if you still dare to disturb the court after beating the stone, the presiding judge can kill you directly.
If Zhenshi can't make them quiet, Qin Jian will do it.
Zhang Tuchangyin said:
"Jun Chang'an."
Gan Luo turned around and left.
[Your Majesty is not afraid that this guy will take the throne!]
The only one who can command Lang Guan is the First Emperor.
As soon as Gan Luo left, all the heads of the aristocratic families who were watching dispersed.
"Sir, what does this mean?"
Zhou Wu caught up with Gan Luo, and behind him were the heads of aristocratic families.
"I just killed some useless juniors, and this matter should be over. As long as you don't provoke Lord Chang'an, this kind of thing will never happen again."
Gan Luo not only told Zhou Wu to listen, but also told all the heads of the aristocratic families.
It's against the laws of Qin and it's against the rules.
As a king, he uses his power to suppress others.
This is a conspiracy that only the supreme king can use.
If he dares to personally attack Ying Chengyu, it will be the heads of these aristocratic families who die next time.
Open and above board and biased!
The people kneeling in the hall were desperate. They cried, cursed and screamed. The noise and crying started again.
"Noisy!"
Zhang Tu was greatly confident and shouted majestically.
Pa~
Falling down the stone will not help.
If you don't make a sound, you will die in the end.
Qin swords were dropped one by one, and they were shouted to death.
The front of Tingwei's mansion was stained with blood again today. They were all big figures who were once flattered by Marxism-Leninism.
News like this always spreads very quickly.
In Xiangbang's Mansion.
Li Si looked at Feng Quji who was working at the desk and said:
"This action of Tingwei's Mansion is not in accordance with the laws of Qin and should not be followed. Why doesn't the Right Prime Minister stop it?"
Feng Quji didn't even raise his head.
"It is the duty of the imperial censor to supervise all officials. I am no longer the censor."
He patted a pile of memorials in front of him that he originally only had the power to review, but now had the power to correct.
"This is my duty."
Li Sipi is smiling but not smiling.
"The right prime minister really fulfills his duties."
Feng Quji stopped writing, raised his head, and looked directly at Li Si.
"Prime Minister Zuo was originally a Tingwei, and now Tingwei Zhang Tu is an old subordinate of Prime Minister Zuo. Why doesn't Prime Minister Zuo try to bring things right?"
"I think Wei Ting handled the situation very well."
"Just now, Prime Minister Zuo said that it violated the laws of Qin and was against the rules."
Lu Buwei, the second prime minister, listened to the two prime ministers openly arguing and had no intention of stopping them.
[The king’s hobby is the world’s hobby.]
[Your Majesty likes to fulfill his duties, and a person with a wavering temperament like Feng Quji can still be upright. These two people are competing for position, and everything is on the table.]
[Your Majesty’s move will completely dispel those speculations that His Majesty is afraid of Cheng Long. No one in Xianyang will dare to embarrass Cheng Long anymore...]
Inside Chang'an Jun's Mansion.
Xunzi sighed bitterly.
"This method cannot be changed."
In Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Chengyu was sitting in front of the case with a bad look on his face.
"Have you finished killing?"
The First Emperor estimated the time and nodded.
"about there."
Zhang Han, who was standing in front of the door, left at some point. Ying Chengyu pointed at the First Emperor and said bitterly:
"Don't ask Nai Gong to enter the palace in the future!"
"According to your temperament, these people have already deserved their death. I just wanted to let them die a worthy death."
Ying Chengyu was too lazy to pay attention to the First Emperor, and quickly left the palace and walked to the entrance of the palace. Zhang Han, who had disappeared, appeared again out of nowhere.
Ying Chengyu slowly turned his neck and looked at the First Emperor sitting in front of the case observing him, feeling the urge to usurp the throne.
"What do you mean? It's not over, right?"
The First Emperor chuckled.
"I haven't done anything serious yet, so I'm in a hurry to leave."
