Xianyang City.
After the rain, the sky cleared up. On the wet mossy stone steps, the house dog came out and jumped up and down. Children played around the downtown area. Occasionally, a child would break his knee and cry loudly.
On the streets of the downtown area, more than five hundred necromancers in white prison uniforms with disheveled hair were collectively dragged to the streets of the downtown area!
Qin Shihuang had ordered them to be torn apart in the city, so how could he let them die in peace?
Countless Xianyang citizens were gathered around. Some of them were wearing black linen clothes and carrying carrying poles. Some of them were holding babies crying loudly in their arms. Some of them were holding bones and preparing to chop them into pieces.
The elite Qin soldiers pulled out 500 necromancers and attracted them over.
Looking at the 500 prisoners with disheveled hair and wearing prison uniforms, they took a closer look and realized that they were not the necromancers who usually acted arrogantly and arrogantly.
Didn't they say that these alchemists were going to refine Longevity Pills for His Majesty? Why did he suddenly become a prisoner?
The commoners looked at the pale-faced necromancers who were screaming in horror and immediately clamored.
"These are all necromancers in Xianyang City.”
"These necromancers have been eating and drinking in my tavern all day without giving me a single cent. They deserve what they have today!”
"That bastard Zhang San, the casino still owes me two thousand yuan. If he dies, it'll be too easy for him!”
“……”
Similar voices rose one after another. None of the people stood up to sympathize with the necromancers.
From the Qin soldiers, an official quickly stood out. He wore an official hat and held the imperial edict of the First Emperor in his hand.
Looking at the surrounding commoners, Qin Li shouted,""Silence!"
In an instant, the entire downtown area was silent.
Qin's laws had always been strict, and the commoners did not dare to violate them.
"The necromancers of Xianyang tricked me into taking the Longevity Pill. It was indeed a poisonous pill. The white mouse died instantly after taking it. Fortunately, I had the help of the celestial beings and finally recognized the necromancers 'scam. Today, I order that the necromancers of Xianyang be torn apart in the market!”The Qin official slowly read out the contents of the edict.
After he finished reading, the commoners immediately went into an uproar!
Qin Li immediately gave the order for the punishment to begin!
Amidst the roars of the five hundred necromancers, the horses tore their limbs and heads apart!
Such a tragic situation did not earn them any sympathy.
The surrounding commoners clapped their hands and cheered!
"Strangle these sons of bitches to death! He actually deceived His Majesty!"
"You've been idling around all day and not doing anything. Now, you even dared to deceive Your Majesty. It's already considered Your Majesty's mercy that you didn't exterminate your entire family!”
"Bah! They actually dared to feed poison pills to His Majesty. These necromancers are simply tired of living!”
"Damn it! Even dismembering me isn't enough to vent my anger!”
“……”
Similar voices rose and fell. Other than some children who were crying in fear, almost all the old Qin people clapped their hands in joy!
The news of Qin Shihuang killing 500 necromancers quickly spread throughout the world!
The world was shocked, and the remnants of the six dynasties had hidden themselves even deeper!
The emperor who had looked down on the six dynasties had returned!
Zhao Yu, who was fertilising the Longevity Fruit Tree at the farm, also heard the news. He could not help but sigh,""Old Zhao and the other two really have some connections. They let His Majesty know that the pill is poisonous.”
"At least these three kept their word and didn't inform the government. Otherwise, I won't be able to keep this Longevity Tree.”Zhao Yu exclaimed.
……
Qilin Palace.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides. On the nine steps, Qin Shi Huang's eyes shone brightly as he swept his gaze across the civil and military officials, causing everyone's hearts to tremble!
They all knew about the news that His Majesty had destroyed 500 necromancers in the market, and the reason was that the pills were poisonous!
Even the doctor, Chunyu Yue, who had been talking about the world and the benevolent government in front of the Emperor, obediently kept his mouth shut.
He didn't dare to step forward to remonstrate!
This damn necromancer was poisoning the First Emperor, and Chunyu Yue still dared to plead for mercy for the necromancer. It was no different from supporting the necromancer in poisoning the Emperor!
Even the tens of thousands of scholars wouldn't be enough for His Majesty to punish them for this crime!
Li Si looked at Chunyu Yue playfully and thought to himself, This old man has finally wilted!
The hall was filled with an invisible pressure. Even though there was a breeze in the hall, every official seemed to see the bloody light in front of them and their bodies were hot.
"I have gathered all of you today to give you an order.”Qin Shi Huang swept his gaze across the civil and military officials.
After a pause, Qin Shihuang continued,""Feng Qujie, I order you to immediately get the craftsmen to build a treasure ship and send a warship to Penglai. You must capture Xu Fu and bring him back!”
"Here." Feng Qujie held the board and took a step forward.
" Your Majesty," Feng Qujie suddenly frowned and said,""To build a treasured ship, we need tens of thousands of taels of gold. There's not much left in the national treasury.”
At that moment, Li Si cleared his throat and stood up. He said respectfully,""Your Majesty, the soldiers at the border can't resist the Xiongnu wolf cavalry. Please mobilize another 100,000 soldiers to the border and a million catties of grain to support the border.”
Qin Shi Huang instantly had a headache. The national treasury was almost empty. Where would he get a million catties of grain?
As for Zhao Gao, he mustered up his courage at this moment and looked as if he was doing his best for the Emperor. He knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice,"Your Majesty, the Imperial Mausoleum has entered a critical juncture. For the sake of Your Majesty's ten thousand years of foundation, please allocate another ten thousand taels of gold.”
When Meng Yi saw Zhao Gao crying, he felt a chill in his heart. He wished he could use the wooden board in his hand to slap Zhao Gao's mouth!
