The execution ground by the bank of Wei River!
"Sixty-three people! Four hundred and sixteen main culprits! There were 33 Rangers involved in a private fight! Two hundred armed criminals! A total of 712 felons were all sent to the execution ground!!!”
More than seven hundred criminals, both young and old, were pushed into the execution ground and tied to wooden stakes, waiting to be sentenced!
"Wei Yang, I hate you!" "Wei Yang, I won't accept your defeat. Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield!!!”
The people tied to the wooden stakes seemed to have realized their fate and began to curse loudly.
An old man who was tied to a wooden stake shouted bitterly,"Shut up! Private battles were humiliating, but public battles were meritorious!!”
The old man shouted at the top of his lungs, and those who heard him could not help but feel sad. Perhaps he was also repenting before his execution, or perhaps he was also angry. After shouting, he actually broke free from the restraints and smashed his head against the wooden stake. The old man's actions rendered the other prisoners speechless. Wei Yang immediately allowed the old man's clansmen to enter the hall to clean up the corpse and pay their respects. After that, more than ten clan leaders repented on the execution ground and died after hitting the pillar!
As for the others…they would still enforce the law!
While the execution was being carried out, on a hill not far away, a group of sword-wielding rangers dressed in black and white clothes were watching. The news of the Qin country's new law requiring the execution of seven hundred people had long spread throughout the world. The six countries in Shandong had heard of it and all of them reprimanded the Qin country's tyranny.
And this group of people was not here to rob the execution ground. They were the disciples of the Mo family who believed in the principle of " love without offense "! When this group of Mohist disciples saw seven hundred living lives being beheaded in front of them, they could not suppress the anger in their hearts. If it were not for the three thousand elite soldiers of the State of Qin below, they would have immediately gone down and killed Wei Yang.
"Wei Yang's tyranny, Qin Jun's tyrant! How hateful!" One of the middle-aged men pulled out his sword angrily and cut off a cypress tree with one sword. He gritted his teeth and said.
······
In the Qin Palace, Wei Yang, Li Xiang, and Ying Quliang were sitting by a table. On the table were fish wine and pepper lamb stew.
"Mister, Ruler, as expected, after the execution, I opened the gates of Di County for three days, but no one asked for orders. Among all the kingdoms, only the people of Qin had such tenacious and righteous qualities! I have confidence in the reform." Wei Yang ate a mouthful of fat sheep stew and sighed.
"Continue if you are confident! Before the Six Nations in Shandong could react, it had directly developed into the Six God Equipment!”Li Xiang laughed loudly. "Six God Equipment? What is it?" Wei Yang and Ying Quliang asked in confusion, but Li Xiang laughed without explaining.
……
After that, the new laws and decrees of the Qin State were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The second batch of laws and decrees also appeared. The well-field system was completely abolished, and the weights and measures were unified. Military taxes were levied according to the population.
Gan Long, this old fox, was really flawless. In the private fight case, his Gan clan was also implicated. His son wanted to bail him out, but he was scolded. Instead, his son was sent to send the clansmen who broke the law to Wei Yang for punishment. Now, facing Wei Yang's abolition of the well-field system and reduction of the aristocratic family's fief, the other aristocratic families were filled with hatred and wanted to kill Wei Yang. Gan Long actually took the initiative to reduce his fief and give it to Crown Prince Ying Si.
The other clans wanted to resist, but unfortunately, Meng, Xi, and Bai's clan leaders were also generals. They were directly killed by Li Xiang with a trick of " entrapment " to prevent any future trouble. When the three clans received the news, it was already too late. They were all fighting for the power of the clan leader, so they could not gather any effective resistance for a while.
However, as these tribes fought, they suddenly realized that Wei Yang's new law required them to shrink their original fiefs and give them to the " lowly " farmers to farm. They could not sit still.
Now that the enemy was in front of them, this group of people began to think of ways to destroy the new law, but most of them were ineffective. As mentioned before, the criticism of the aristocratic families was not worth mentioning.
This group of people couldn't find a solution, so they chose to find the Crown Prince's residence to complain to Ying Si. Seeing the suffering of the old Qin people, coupled with the fact that he was young and ignorant, and Ying Quliang did not allow him to get involved in the new law, Ying Si suddenly felt that Wei Yang's new law was harming those old families who had worked hard and made great contributions.
As for Gan Long, that old fox, although he had given up his power and lived in seclusion, he often taught Ying Si in the name of an elder. Most of the time, he taught Ying Si with books and etiquette, but he subtly told Ying Si that the old aristocratic family was the foundation of the Qin country. The new law was like a wave, wave after wave. Wei Yang, Ying Quliang, Li Xiang, none of them had the time to care about the young Crown Prince Ying Si. Ying Qian did have the skills to not fight, but could you expect a boor like him to explain it clearly? Li Xiang would occasionally meet Ying Si. This kid was very respectful to his teacher, just like a good baby. However, it was obvious that this expression would only appear when he treated an elder like Li Xiang.
Just as Li Xiang was about to find some time to properly carry out his duties as the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor and take a break, something shocking happened-the Emperor, Ying Quliang, was assassinated!
As the eldest brother, Ying Qian heard that Ying Quliang had been assassinated, so how could he remain calm? He immediately ran over, only to find that Li Xiang had already arrived.
"What's going on? Qu Liang lived in the palace and was surrounded by guards. How could he be assassinated?”Ying Qian sat on the chair and asked. " To be able to avoid the armorers and enter the hall, one must either be a peerless expert or someone familiar with the armorers 'layout…" Uncle Black said slowly. "Oh, the peerless expert is the Grand Tutor, and I, Ying Qian, am the one who is familiar with the layout of the armored soldiers. Uncle Black, are you saying that the two of us will assassinate Qu Liang?”Hearing this, Ying Qian became unhappy and said with a stern face.
"General Ying Qian, don't be anxious. Last night, I saw the thief with my own eyes. I think my feet are pretty strong, but the thief still escaped.”Uncle Black said in a deep voice. "Strange tool?" Ying Qian asked in confusion. "It should be the Mo family's mechanism technique." Ying Quliang sighed and said. "Mo Family? How dare you assassinate the King of Qin! Qu Liang, let me lead 3,000 soldiers and I'll flatten the Mo Family Headquarters!”Ying Qian was instantly enraged when he heard that. He slammed the table and shouted.
"Do you know where the Mo Family Headquarters is?”Li Xiang suddenly asked Ying Qian, but Ying Qian stammered. It was obvious that he did not know where the Mo Family Headquarters was. He did not even know where the Mo Family Headquarters was. Moreover, the Mo Family had many rangers, so it was difficult to capture them. What was the use of three thousand soldiers? "Big brother, don't be agitated. There should be something fishy about this.”Ying Quliang stood up and stopped Ying Qian from going berserk, telling him what he thought was strange.
It turned out that during the assassination last night, Ying Quliang was reading through the official documents, and Uncle Black was preparing the dishes and wine. It was indeed a perfect opportunity, but for some reason, the group of people who came to assassinate him suddenly made a loud noise, attracting the guards. Most of the assassins went to stop the guards and armored soldiers, leaving only one swordsman with excellent swordsmanship behind to attack Ying Quliang. Ying Quliang had fought countless battles, and he was not far off from Ying Qian. Naturally, he would not be taken down so easily. This was also the reason why the assassins had chosen to let the ones with the best swordsmanship and martial arts skills stay behind to assassinate him. However, what surprised Ying Quliang was that when he was fighting with his sword, he clearly sensed that the person in front of him was holding back his strength, but he did not manage to launch a thunderous attack. In the end, that expert swordsman actually ran away.
"Could it be that the Mo Family doesn't really want to assassinate Qu Liang? Then what do they want?" Hearing this, Ying Qian was instantly dumbfounded. How could an assassin hold back? They didn't even manage to injure their target. "No, although that swordsman didn't seem to have any killing intent, the other assassins injured quite a number of guards. If they weren't wearing armor, they would've died already.”Ying Quliang shook his head and said.
"It seems that there's a problem within the Mo family. It's really chaotic.”Li Xiang was also helpless. If he had been talking to Ying Quliang yesterday, it would have been fine. With his peerless martial arts, it would have been easy for him to capture all the assassins in a matter of minutes. However, it was basically impossible for him to search for those few people all over the world. Now, it was not the Qin country that unified the world. The Qin country also did not have the energy to go through the trouble of searching for those few people.
"Then what should we do? Is Qu Liang just going to sit here and wait for death?" Ying Qian roared. "Looks like we can only strengthen the surrounding guards. I wonder when we can resolve this.”Ying Quliang sighed.
The Mohist School pursued the principle of universal love, not offense. A few days ago, they had killed more than seven hundred people at the Wei River, and punished more than eight thousand people with a small punishment. Naturally, Ying Quliang would not ask the Mohist School why they wanted to assassinate him without knowing why. But now, he had no place to explain even if he wanted to. Could it be that he was going to announce the explanation to the world? Where would the face of the Qin country be? Because of a mere Mohist family compromise, if the monarch " begged " for forgiveness, the monarchs of the six Shandong countries would laugh themselves to death. "For now, we can only do nothing and strengthen our defenses. At the same time, don't announce the assassination of the monarch. I'll go to Wei Yang now.”After Li Xiang finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left. His clothes fluttered in the wind. This was the first time he had displayed his qinggong in front of them.
"Why did Grand Tutor go to Wei Yang's place? Isn't it better to stay and protect you?" Ying Qian looked at Bai Shun's departing figure and asked in confusion. "If the talent of the Grand Tutor is only used as a guard, it would be better to let the assassin kill Qu Liang. As for going to Zuo Shu Chang's place, it was naturally because the assassin's next target was likely to be him!”Ying Quliang patted Ying Qian's shoulder and said.
