Qu Jing pressed his neck with both hands in disbelief, but he still couldn't stop the blood from gushing out.
Under the angry eyes of the nobles, the humble heads rolled down.
The two old men standing at the front couldn't believe that Ying Xuan actually dared to kill Qu Jing without giving any reason.
Their whole bodies were trembling and they finally couldn't help but yell.
"Okay! Okay! Killing nobles for no reason, you are destroying Great Qin!"
"Did you all see it? Mr. Da Qin wantonly slaughtered thousands of members of the Qu family. Such brutal behavior will eventually collapse!"
"Now, we stand here for all the people in the world to see. Such a cruel scene requires the First Emperor to come out and give us an explanation, otherwise no one can leave!"
At this moment, a forbidden soldier suddenly walked into the middle while escorting a prisoner.
Then he kicked him to the ground.
"explain!"
The prisoner lowered his head and muttered.
"It was Qu Jing who gave me money to ambush at the entrance of the Criminal Division in the morning, wait for the palace carriage to arrive, and assassinate Young Master Ying Xuan!"
"He also said that he would kill Ying Xuan and overthrow the Qin Dynasty, and then he would reestablish the Chu Kingdom and leave me a chance to survive!"
The Imperial Guard kicked him hard again.
"louder please!"
The kneeling man could only raise his head and shouted again.
The voice spread throughout the south of the city, but the two angry old men didn't believe it.
"Now that Qu Jing is dead, who knows whether it's true or not? Do you think it's okay to just pull someone over and say what they say?"
At this time, a voice suddenly came from an ordinary person's house in the distance.
"What he said is true, I saw it with my own eyes this morning!"
Then more than a dozen voices sounded.
"That's right! We went to the market in the morning and saw that scene with our own eyes!"
The intermittent sounds left the old man completely speechless.
Ying Xuan didn't pay attention, he saluted in the direction of the voice.
"Ying Xuan thanked all the people for testifying! But there is no need to say more."
"These people are not qualified to ask me to explain anything. I am only bringing this person here to let you common people understand!"
"Our Daqin governs the country by law and will never favor any noble, nor will we wrongly punish any common people! Everyone is equal before the criminal law in our Daqin!"
"In the future, if anyone continues to kill slaves at will and reduce the population of Daqin without any reason, they will also be punished by genocide!"
After saying this, whispers came from the dark streets in the distance.
"Let me tell you, the young master has a reputation for being kind and generous. How could he come to destroy the entire Qu family without any reason? There is indeed a reason."
"Not only that, I heard that the Qu family bribed their maids to poison the young master, and even tortured and killed slaves in private."
"I know this. In the afternoon, I saw officials and their families carrying out hundreds of corpses from Qu's backyard. They were all teenage girls. I don't know whose children they were. It made me feel distressed to see them."
"These nobles should have died long ago, a good death!"
"Master! Well done!"
The sound went from sparse to sporadic, and then suddenly condensed into a mass.
The deafening sound even spread throughout Xianyang City.
Some people just shouted along without even knowing why.
This scene moved Ying Xuan. Those were the old Qin people who were supporting him.
After coming back to his senses, Ying Xuan looked at the two old men who looked embarrassed and wanted to lead people away, and said with a cold face.
"Did I let you go?"
The two old men could only bite the bullet and say.
"Since the young master has his own reasons, we won't interfere!"
But Ying Xuan snorted coldly.
"Is it over when you say it?"
The leaders all stared angrily.
"The Qu family is dead, what else do you want to do?"
Ying Xuan did not speak, but pointed to the yard next to him.
"Catch them all and ask me! What are the names of the children in the cellar!"
Everyone was stunned, what does this have to do with the yard next to it.
Zhang Han didn't hesitate, he didn't need to worry about what the young master said, just do it.
He kicked open the door, only to find that there were hundreds of women and elderly people in the courtyard dressed like retainers of the Qu family!
Only then did they realize that most of the Qu family members who died in the courtyard were disguised as retainers who had changed their clothes.
No one expected that Qu Fan had a back-up plan.
Unfortunately, Ying Xuan saw through everything.
The Imperial Guards carried the charred corpses over and brought the Qu family members in front of them one by one.
"What's her name?"
No one can tell how to identify them when they are all burnt to black charcoal!
Ying Xuan didn't expect them to recognize her, so he arranged for someone to send the girl for treatment.
He said indifferently.
"Don't know? Just kill!"
No one thought that Ying Xuan would be so cruel.
The Imperial Guards carried out the order without hesitation.
As one person was beheaded, some of these Qu family members finally began to name their names.
People were surprised, how could she recognize her even though she was like this!
But Ying Xuan didn't care and asked her to recognize them one by one. After they were done, he took them aside and gave her a few bites to eat.
The rest of the people saw hope, and those who remembered the name began to speak regardless of whether it was correct or not.
Sometimes if something is wrong, Ying Xuan will give them a chance to discuss it together.
Now everyone who knew about it was scrambling, thinking that in this way they could make atonement for their sins.
After their discussion, they finally came up with a list.
"The list will be published outside the city for one year. Anyone who comes to identify the body can dig the grave for themselves!"
After speaking, Ying Xuan looked at the people who had not been beheaded.
These people looked at Ying Xuan with hope, thinking that at least their lives were saved, and according to the Qin Law, prisoners should be beaten into official slaves.
The work of an official slave varies from light to heavy, and I just hope that I can be assigned to a place where it is easier.
"These people! Tomorrow - Lingchi!"
Ying Xuan's words instantly knocked them into hell.
Even Zhang Han blinked in confusion.
"Since you know the names, you must know that those children are being tortured and killed. Do you think I will let you go?"
Ying Xuan's bloodshot eyes were as red as a devil's.
These are the culprits.
Others died just because they were Qu's family and wanted to eradicate the evil, but these people died because they wanted to pay for the lives of the girls who died in the cellar!
These words completely frightened them, and one of the most gorgeously dressed women begged for mercy like crazy and shouted.
"I know their secrets, and I know where the Yue people behind them have gone! I can help you find him, don't kill me!"
Ying Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. The woman he recognized the most was definitely the most vicious among them, but the only clue that could be traced was right in front of him.
"Take away!"
The woman's legs went weak and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was helpless. In order to find out the person behind it, they could only let her live for a while longer.
"Tomorrow! It's cooked!"
The cold words shocked everyone, the extreme reversal broke the woman down, and Zhang Han also opened his mouth wide.
"Sir, how can we trace the person behind this?"
Ying Xuan rolled his eyes at him.
"What do you think the secret guards of Great Qin do for food?"
The secret guard must have done a thorough investigation before this, otherwise Ying Zheng would not be so confident and allow himself to do whatever he wants.
At this point, the Qu family was wiped out and the matter finally came to an end.
Those nobles watched helplessly as Ying Xuan killed the Qu family bit by bit, but they were unable to do anything.
The resentment has been buried in my heart.
Ying Xuan actually knew it from the moment they walked onto the street.
They are no longer of the same mind as Da Qin, and even if there is any disturbance in the future, they may become a hidden danger, so Ying Xuan has no intention of letting them go!
Looking at the nobles who wanted to leave again, he said coldly.
"Did I let you go?"
Suddenly everyone was shocked.
"What else do you want to do? Are you going to kill us?"
"Come on, come on if you dare! Kill us all and see if our branches will overthrow the Qin Dynasty. Sooner or later you will be finished too!"
It seemed that there was too much stimulation tonight, and one of the old men actually said such words without reason.
Suddenly everyone fell silent, and even the nobles looked at him in horror.
This statement is nothing short of rebellion.
Ying Xuan didn't say anything. He didn't care about such reckless things at all. There was no threat. A biting dog never barked.
Those in the shadows are the real danger.
A loud shout.
"Zhao Gao!"
"Qin Law! What's the crime for anyone who gathers thousands of people at will and disrupts the public order in Xianyang?"
Zhao Gao on the city wall was unexpectedly active this time.
He replied before Ying Zheng said anything.
"Back to you, sir! Anyone who gathers more than a thousand people to disturb public order shall be fined fifty broad strokes!"
Ying Xuan smiled evilly and continued.
"Then what is the crime for those who threaten the prince and slander the reputation of Da Qin?"
Zhao Gao continued to shout.
"There is no fixed sentence for this crime. It depends on the circumstances. The prince will make the decision. The punishment for the crime may be death to death, while the punishment for the crime may be thirty years of imprisonment!"
Ying Xuan laughed.
"For the sake of both of you being quite old! Let's each get forty for the eighty-eighty board!"
Zhao Gao also shouted.
"Young Master is so kind!"
This provoked Ying Zheng to look at him twice, wondering what happened to this guy today.
After Ying Xuan finished speaking, he stopped staying and turned around to leave.
But the two old men howled desperately.
With their bodies and bones, there was no way they could survive on the forty boards.
Ying Zheng on the city wall was very satisfied after watching the play.
It was useless to fuck him.
"Meng Yi! You did a great job. With a little guidance, this kid can do so well."
"As expected of my son, he is very good."
Meng Yi suddenly froze on the spot.
Is there any causal relationship between these two sentences?
Then he complained secretly.
"Isn't this good? The entire Qu family is completely manipulated in his hands. Although a huge conspiracy has not been completely solved, on the surface it is a crushing gesture, which shocks everyone."
"No one else knows about the prisoner who shouted that the Qu family is guilty. How can Meng Yi not know about it?"
"It was early in the morning. Zhang Han ran to the sky jail and pulled out the condemned prisoner. He didn't know what benefit he had left for his family, so he voluntarily ran to the door of the Criminal Department and performed a show with a bone chopping knife."
"Young master made a plan without evidence from the beginning. There was no possibility of Qu's survival from the beginning! As early as the moment Xiaoru died, this was the destined outcome."
In the morning, Meng Yi still didn't understand what this meant. He didn't expect that this was a decisive blow to the Qu family!
It can be said that Ying Xuan, who was seen by the secret guard, predicted it, and Ying Xuan, who did not see it, also predicted it.
Meng Yi's eyes were cold when he looked at Ying Xuan now. He had to be careful about this kid in the future, he was too insidious.
But the First Emperor didn't know it. He praised Meng Yi with satisfaction and set off back to the palace.
Meng Yi was too embarrassed to say anything to dampen Ying Zheng's interest. After all, he had told him in front of him that Ying Xuan was innocent and that he should pay more attention and protect him.
Wouldn't it embarrass Ying Zheng to say it now?
For the sake of your own career, you should wait until you return to the palace and report privately before revealing it slowly!
After holding the head in homage to Xiaoru.
Ying Xuan rushed back to the palace. The whole day and night was too exciting and ridiculous.
It allowed him to completely see the situation in Da Qin and gain a new understanding of the world.
It is not as bad as written in the history books, nor is it as good as people think.
Without washing up and taking off his blood-stained clothes, Ying Xuan fell on the bed.
Zhang Liang and Zhang Han went back to the side room to rest.
Ying Xuan was exhausted and shouted subconsciously.
"Xiaoru, prepare bath water for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body stiffened.
There was no sound in the hall, only a crisp laugh seemed to echo in the memory.
Ying Xuan suddenly lost his sleepiness. He blinked hard, trying to divert his attention.
Turn on the system.
One prompt after another appeared in front of my eyes.
"I found the free identity card, is it included?"
“Uncovering long-term process patterns….”
"award……"
Watching Ying Xuan fall asleep, the cute girl in his dream sat at the same table with him for dinner again.
This time Ying Xuan failed to snatch her away!
