Chapter 9 Punishment
Ying Zheng, Li Si and others were shocked.
Zhang Han stepped forward and picked up the chicken. After looking up and down, he walked to Ying Zheng.
"Reporting to the village chief, the chicken is definitely dead."
Ying Zheng said with an ugly face: "Give the other three some golden elixirs too."
"promise."
So another chicken and two ducks followed in the footsteps of the other chicken, and they all ate the golden elixir and died.
Qin An said: "Burn all these chickens and ducks. You can't eat them. Their meat is full of heavy metals. Eating them is not good for your health."
"Do as you sir." Ying Zheng said solemnly.
"No." Zhang Han responded.
Li Si said: "Village Chief, sir, you have proven that the golden elixir is poisonous, so what should you do with these golden elixirs?"
Qin An said: "Disposal? How do you plan to dispose of them? These are cultural relics. Preserve them and hand them over to the country. You will get good rewards, which is good for the construction of the village."
"Leave it to the country?" Ying Zheng and others were stunned.
"Yes. These golden elixirs can prove that the First Emperor did have the golden elixir refined, and was deceived by Xu Fu and other alchemists for the so-called immortality."
Li Si's expression changed and he immediately said, "Sir, don't talk about this matter."
Qin An looked at the livid Ying Zheng and suddenly realized, isn't this exposing the scars of the village chief's ancestors?
He immediately explained: "Village Chief, actually that's not what I meant."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "Sir, there is no need to explain. I know that you are only here for this village. I am just curious about what you, the First Emperor, will do after you learn that the golden elixir is poisonous and Xu Fu and others are liars."
Qin An pointed at himself and said: "Am I the First Emperor? Village chief, please don't look down on me. I can't be the First Emperor, because my eyesight and our knowledge are all different, and there is no way to equate them.
However, in history, it seems that after the First Emperor learned that he had been deceived, he killed all the alchemists and warlocks, and burned all their books.
It was called burning books and entrapping Confucians by later generations.
In fact, I guess that the First Emperor knew that Xu Fu was a liar, but for the sake of so-called immortality, he let Xu Fu give it a try.
But not long after Xu Fu left, the First Emperor fell ill and died in the Sand Dune Palace during his fifth eastward tour.
It is a pity that if the First Emperor had not been obsessed with dreaming of immortality, according to his constitution, there should be no problem in living to the age of seventy.
If it were now, there would be no problem living to be a hundred years old. "
Li Si was shocked and said: "Sir, do you mean that people outside can live to be a hundred years old?"
Qin An said: "There are very few people who are 100 years old, but there are many people who are over ninety years old, whether they are rich or poor."
Ying Zheng said: "Have people outside discovered the secret of immortality?"
"What's the secret of immortality? It's just that everyone's life is getting better and better. With advanced medical skills, many diseases can be cured.
What has been proven is the mentality. The better the mentality, the longer people who are happy will live longer. Therefore, village chief, if you want to live a long life, you must maintain a good mentality and don't ruin your mentality because of annoying things. "Qin An explained.
Ying Zheng kept Qin An's words in mind, then sighed and said, "It's difficult to maintain your mentality."
Li Si said: "Don't worry, village chief, we are willing to take on the troubles of the village chief."
Zhang Han also said: "Don't worry, village chief."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Sir, if I take a lot of golden elixirs, is there any way to cure it?"
"What? Village chief, why are you so confused?" Qin An was shocked.
Li Si and Zhang Han were also sweating coldly. What on earth is His Majesty doing? Why did you tell me about taking the golden elixir? Aren't you afraid that your husband would become suspicious?
And sir, what are you talking about? What does it mean to be inconsiderate? We don’t know that the golden elixir is poisonous.
Ying Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not because our ancestor, the First Emperor, was eating."
Qin An nodded and said: "Since ancient times, there are indeed many people who want to live forever, especially the emperors, but this is unrealistic."
"Now that I know it, I wonder if I can be saved?" Ying Zheng asked with concern.
Now I just want to live a few more years. According to Qin An, I may die in less than two years.
Because he is already preparing for his fifth eastern tour.
Qin An said: "I only know one way."
"What can we do?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
Qin An said: "Drink milk. I know that dairy products can be used to detoxify heavy metals, but this is only if you have only taken the golden elixir for a short time.
If, like the First Emperor, he had taken golden elixirs for too long, a lot of toxins would have accumulated in his body. Even if milk is useful, it is not very useful. "
"Thank you sir for telling me, I will definitely find a way to get a cow from outside." Ying Zheng said.
"Can you get a cow?" Qin An said in disbelief.
"It's just a cow, it shouldn't be a big problem." Ying Zheng said, looking at Li Si beside him.
Li Si stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, village chief. There are cows in the next village. I will buy them with money."
"By the way, I would like to ask the next village if there are pots, bowls, mixing bowls, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings. If I don't have these things at home, I can't cook at all." Qin An said.
"Sir, can you cook?" Ying Zheng was shocked by this.
"It's just cooking. Which young person in today's society can't do it? It's just a question of whether it tastes good or not." Qin An said.
"Li Si, go and help me prepare what I need. I want to have a taste of your craftsmanship."
"promise."
Ying Zheng was very curious about what Qin An's food was like.
After Li Si left, Ying Zheng continued to ask: "Sir, how will the First Emperor punish Xu Fu after he knows that Xu Fu is a liar?"
"Didn't I say, burn books and embarrass scholars?"
"Burning books and entrapping Confucians is for all alchemists, and I'm talking about Xu Fu."
"How do I know this? This happened more than two thousand years ago. Let's not say that the First Emperor didn't know. Even if he knew, he didn't want to believe that Xu Fu was a liar. Once he believed it, it would be equivalent to breaking his dream of immortality. ." Qin An said.
"I'll just say what if."
"What if." Qin An thought for a while and said, "If the First Emperor knew that Xu Fu was a liar, generally speaking, he would kill him first and then quickly.
But after killing Xu Fu, he not only told the world that he had been deceived, but also that the majestic First Emperor was deceived by a charlatan. The idea of immortality was actually the result of the First Emperor himself. "
Ying Zheng's face froze, yes, isn't this telling everyone that I have been deceived? This deception lasted for several years.
Don’t I want to lose face?
"Sir, do you have a good plan to prevent others from knowing that the First Emperor has been deceived?"
