Ying Zheng was extremely angry and felt like he had been tricked. He had already ordered Tian Jing to be beaten severely, but he still requested that after the beating, he would bring Tian Jing to see him.
Li Shui may want to kill Tian Jing on the spot depending on what Ying Zheng wants.
He thought for a moment, laughed dryly, and said, "Your Majesty, Tian Jing recommended improperly and deserves to be punished."
Ying Zheng glanced at him with a meaningful look: "Is it just a punishment?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and whispered: "I still say what I said, it is not the right time to kill Tian Jing now."
Ying Zheng sneered: "It's just to kill a fool, why do you need any time? The tyrants of Guandong are after the country's subjugation. In the past, the six countries resisted the Qin Dynasty, they were more or less involved. I pardon his death penalty and save his family." He ordered his family to move to Xianyang, take the imperial examination and become an official in the court. They are so generous, but they don't want to be grateful, and they even presented a clumsy entertainer to play with me and fool me. Don't I deserve to die?"
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "It really deserves to be damned."
Ying Zheng sneered and said: "As for whether the powerful powers of the six countries will be timid or chilled. I don't care."
Having reached this point, Li Shui was helpless. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Tian Jing, after all...it was all money.
At the same time, Tian Jing's cane punishment had been completed.
His body was covered in blood and flesh, his hair was disheveled, he was delirious, and he had completely collapsed.
The executioner shook his head and said to Ji Ming next to him: "This person can't help but hit. Compared with you, he is far from it."
Ji Ming chuckled and said, "The first time I get beaten, it will inevitably be painful. Once you get over it, you'll be fine."
He knelt down, patted Tian Jing, and said with a smile: "Brother Tian, it's time to go see the driver."
Tian Jing asked angrily: "If I meet you, will you die?"
Ji Ming said: "How could it be? If His Majesty wanted to kill you, he wouldn't have beaten you."
Tian Jing said nothing, thinking: Is this so? Why do I feel like I'm going to be beaten to death?
Tian Jing could no longer stand up, so Ji Ming gathered two young eunuchs, held Tian Jing on his back, and walked towards the poppy palace with one step at a time.
However, when he walked near the palace, a young eunuch came over and said: "Your Majesty has ordered Tian Jing to wait here and not to dirty the poppy house."
So the group stopped.
Tian Jing looked at the sun above his head and felt a little dizzy. He panted and said to the young eunuch next to him: "You two, put me down."
The two young eunuchs said: "Put it down, and you will fall to the ground."
Tian Jing smiled weakly: "It doesn't matter, after falling down, I can just take the opportunity to rest."
The little eunuch said oh and let go. Tian Jing slapped it on the ground with a bang, and his head was immediately bleeding.
He lay there, almost on the verge of crying, "You guys... put me down gently."
Everyone waited for a while, but Ying Zheng never showed up. Tian Jing gathered his strength and said to Ji Ming, "Your Majesty, do you really have no intention of killing me?"
Ji Ming said: "Definitely not. I get beaten from time to time. After the beating, it's over. Don't worry."
Tian Jing felt that he should believe Ji Ming's words, but he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
Finally, Ying Zheng walked out slowly with Li Shui and Li Xin.
As soon as Tian Jing saw Ying Zheng coming, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I never expected that Mr. Gao's skills could not reach the level of elegance. Now I regret it so much that I can only I hate myself for being so mean and not realizing it in time. I am willing to pay ten thousand gold to atone for my sin, just to ask for your majesty’s mercy.”
Ying Zheng: "..."
People are often killed in Qin, and when they are killed, people often beg for mercy. But I have never seen someone like Tian Jing, lying on the ground, crying and so low as to be in the dust. After all... those who can be killed by the emperor's personal order are also respectable people. Even if death is imminent, they still want to save face.
Ji Ming looked at Tian Jing with admiration from the side: "Brother Tian is really a man. He can bend and stretch to such an extent. He will definitely achieve great success in the future."
In fact, Tian Jing was not so shameless before. But since entering Xianyang, he has been humiliated and embarrassed by Li Shui over and over again, and even forced to smile to show weakness. Over time, Tian Jing felt that his face had become thicker, and he was now willing to do things that he would never do before. Things that I could never say before can now be said.
Facts have proven that the skin on your face becomes thicker the more you skin it. Shame can be thrown away with a little training...
Ying Zheng looked at Tian Jing who was begging for mercy, and suddenly felt a little boring. Killing such a thing was a waste of his time. It was simply ridiculous that I was angry because of such people just now.
Ying Zheng pointed at Li Shui and said, "I'll leave this person to you."
Then, he didn't bother to look at Tian Jing, turned around and left.
When Tian Jing heard that he was going to be handed over to Li Shui, he immediately hugged Li Shui's legs and cried loudly: "Exiled Immortal, please spare my life. I even entertained the Exiled Immortal at a banquet, and even gave away the Exalted Immortal's beauties. I want to banish the Immortal." Thinking about some old feelings."
In fact, Li Shui knew in his heart that His Majesty wanted to kill Tian Jing, just a matter of words. Since he let himself handle this matter, he would not kill this person.
Li Shui thought for a while and said to Tian Jing: "Today you are deceiving the emperor and disrespecting your superiors. You are disrespectful. You are considered an accomplice to treason. Your crime is extremely serious. It is not an exaggeration to destroy your entire clan."
Tian Jing suddenly turned pale.
Li Shui added: "Fortunately, I, Li Xin, the princess, Mr. Fu Yao, Poppy, Wu Jiao, and Siqin. We have been praying for you with sincerity. After all... you are quite sensible and kind to me." Respectfully, I am a kind-hearted person and want to give you a hand.”
Tian Jing thanked him repeatedly, and then asked nervously: "Then...what does your majesty mean?"
Li Shui said: "You are lucky. Your Majesty is a holy king and is magnanimous, so he exempted you from the death penalty."
Tian Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Ji Ming dissatisfied: He almost died just now. Brother Ji also said that it was just a beating, and it would be fine after the beating.
Ji Ming rolled his eyes helplessly: Do you believe what Huai Guzi said?
Li Shui said to Tian Jing: "However, you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living penalty. In a few days, your entire family will be sent to the bitter cold land in the north to serve as border guards to resist the Huns."
When Tian Jing heard this, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "Fortunately, a few of us continued to intercede for you. But His Majesty also couldn't bear it, so he decided to keep you in Xianyang."
Tian Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Some were so scared that they shed cold sweat.
Li Shui picked at his nails and said absently: "However, staying here is not without a price. The women in your clan have to enter the palace and become palace maids. The men in your clan have to be tortured and become palace slaves."
When Tian Jing heard this, he lost all hope. He lay on the ground, his head pressed against the cold floor tiles, and he no longer wanted to move.
At this time, Li Shui said again: "Fortunately, a few of us interceded for you again, and His Majesty also thinks that you are a first offender..."
Tian Jing was about to cry but had no tears: "Exiled Immortal, in just a moment, my heart has been ups and downs several times. Now my chest is tight and my heart is palpitating. I have been frightened to death and I really can't bear it anymore. I beg Exalted Immortal, you can Tell me, Your Majesty plans to punish me like this, even if you kill me, I will admit it."
Really, now that Tian Jing is really going to be killed, Tian Jing feels like a relief. He really couldn't stand this uneasy feeling anymore.
Li Shui scratched his head and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth. Your Majesty means that you pay the fine. We have all explained it to you, ten thousand gold per person. After paying, we will absolve you of your guilt. You continue to be a powerful person, with fine clothes and fine food, and a crowd of friends. Your Majesty, let bygones be bygones."
After hearing this, Tian Jing still felt uneasy and asked worriedly: "Is this...the final result?"
Li Shui nodded.
Tian Jing asked again: "If you pay the fine, there is nothing else to do? No need to do hard labor, guard the border, or suffer corporal punishment?"
Li Shui said calmly: "If you like, that's fine too."
Tian Jing shook his head quickly.
It was only then that he was finally sure that his life was saved.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and put his heart in his stomach. Then he counted on his fingers: "The banished immortal, General Li Xin, the young master, the princess, the poppy poppy, Wu Jiao, Siqin... there are seven people in total. So, I have to prepare 70,000 gold."
When Li Shui heard this, he slapped Tian Jing hard in the face, causing him to lie on the ground again.
Li Shui shouted: "How dare you, don't you need to count your Majesty's share?"
Tian Jing suddenly realized it, and he covered his face and thanked him very sincerely: "Thank you for the advice from Banished Immortal. Wei Banned Immortal almost missed a big event. Then I should prepare 80,000 gold."
Li Shui kicked him over: "Rotten wood cannot be carved. What is your Majesty's status? Can the amount be the same as mine? You can put it all together and prepare 100,000."
Tian Jing got up happily and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you so much for the advice. I have thought so carefully about you. My heart... is as warm as spring in March."
Li Xin looked at Tian Jing and didn't know what to say.
Li Shui sent two young eunuchs to follow Tian Jing to his home to get the one hundred thousand gold. Tian Jing was grateful along the way and left happily.
Li Shui and Li Xin looked at Ji Ming who was not far away, and said with a smile: "You are fine, let's talk?"
Ji Ming couldn't help but tremble with fear. He always felt that there was something evil in Li Shui's smile, and he was afraid that he was going to harm someone. You have just blackmailed Tian Jing for 100,000 gold, how will you deal with yourself now?
Ji Ming wanted to find an excuse to leave, but was stopped by Li Shui.
Fortunately, at this time, the executioner came over and said to Ji Ming: "Your Majesty has an order. Ji Ming recommended Tian Jing inappropriately. He will be punished eighty times."
Jiming immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically at Li Shui: "I have to go to collect my punishment, so I can't talk to the banished immortal anymore. Forgive me, forgive me."
Afterwards, Ji Ming fled away, happily going to be beaten. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
