The ministers, who had thought that the Emperor would not say anything, immediately pricked up their ears. After all, both Zhao Gao and Li Si were the most trusted existences of the Emperor.
As for Huhai, he was a prince who had been raised by the First Emperor.
Li Si and Huhai had been brought back in such a sorry state while Zhao Gao was nowhere to be found. This really piqued their curiosity.
Meng Yi's voice was the only one left in the hall.
As his gentle and resolute voice sounded, everyone's expressions instantly changed from surprise and astonishment to disbelief.
Especially when he said that Huhai and Zhao Gao were planning to kill the First Emperor, it caused an uproar in the imperial court.
"What is it? How did this happen?"
"How dare you disrespect His Majesty? Zhao Gao is a wolf with wild ambitions.”
"They have wasted His Majesty's trust in them. Such disloyal and unfilial people must be severely punished!”
“……”
Looking at these righteous and furious officials, the First Emperor sneered.
Although these people were discussing how to deal with Zhao Gao and the others, their eyes would occasionally glance at him.
Did he really think that he didn't know the twists and turns inside?
She was just worried that her complexion would not be good and that she would be burned.
Otherwise, why didn't they mention anything about dealing with Huhai?
Just as everyone was arguing, Qin Shi Huang spoke.
"Zhao Gao has already been sentenced to death by me on the way. As for his nine families…"
"Feng Quji, you will lead the troops and capture all of them into the death cell. Tomorrow at noon, they will be beheaded!”
"Yes!"
After he turned around and left, Emperor Shi turned to look at the battered Li Si.
"As for you, although you didn't clearly frame me, you betrayed me. Men, take him away and punish him!”
"Yes!"
Li Si's already pale face turned even paler. As the soldiers dragged him, he was like a marionette, not resisting or begging for mercy.
He understood the Emperor's personality. When Zhao Gao was cut into pieces, he had already thought of his own ending.
It was His Majesty's intention that he was able to survive until now.
Zhao Gao's death had allowed the furious Qin Shi Huang to regain some of his sanity. It was precisely because of this that he ordered people to escort Li Si and Huhai into the palace.
The purpose was, of course, to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.
Let all the civil and military officials in the court see that this is the outcome of betraying His Majesty!
"Looking at the situation, could it be that the Prime Minister is also involved in this matter?”Someone asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, but looking at the Prime Minister's appearance, it shouldn't be too bad.”
" His Majesty didn't say anything about the Prime Minister's actions, so we don't know what to do..."
"Watch your words! Since His Majesty is unwilling to say, we will just obey. How can we casually speculate on His Majesty's will?”
Someone's words once again caused the entire hall to fall into a deathly silence.
Everyone who had spoken felt their hearts pounding. What did the Prime Minister do?
How could it be reduced to the point where His Majesty would use a car to crack it?
This punishment had not been used on anyone since Shang Yang.
……
Soon, Li Si was dragged out of the hall, and Huhai did not do well either.
Because the First Emperor had personally ordered Meng Yi to bring him to the execution ground to watch the execution.
They had thought that some corrupt officials were going to be killed by the emperor, so the commoners were quite excited.
"Kill him, kill him!" they shouted in unison.”
Many people even threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Li Si at the market.
However, when they learned that the high official had been sentenced to a car crack, everyone fell silent.
Meng Yi did not need to explain much about this punishment. Everyone had long understood this punishment that surpassed the scope of humans.
Chariot crack was a type of method where a person's head and limbs were tied to five carriages, and then they were pulled in different directions by horses. This way, the person's body would be torn into five pieces, which was why it was called Chariot crack.
Sometimes, this kind of punishment was not carried out with a cart, but directly pulled by five oxen or horses, so the car was commonly known as five oxen or five horses.
To be honest, it would take a lot of effort to cut off a person's head and limbs, let alone pulling them.
One could imagine the suffering of the victim. When it came to tearing, the victim would probably not feel pain anymore.
The most painful period was the time when he was being pulled!
Everyone felt that such a punishment was inhumane just by thinking about it. How could they remember the name of the person being executed? What crime did he commit?
"Meng Yi, for the sake of our fortifications, please give me a quick death. I beg you!”
As the horses slowly moved in all directions, Li Si felt his entire body floating in the air.
Li Si, who felt his body being pulled, shouted at Meng Yi in fear, hoping for a quick death.
Just as the pulling feeling grew stronger, Li Si was so scared that he almost fainted when he thought of how he would die tragically.
Unfortunately, the strength of the pull was getting stronger and stronger. The tearing force on his body was forcing him to keep his mind clear.
"Ah!"
Li Si's mournful screams drifted further away from the market.
Huhai, who was the closest to him, was shaking like a leaf.
Other than Li Si's heart-wrenching roar, he also heard the sound of his meridians, muscles, and bones being pulled apart bit by bit.
"Imperial Father, I beg you, please spare your son!”
"Your son knows his mistake. Your son won't dare to do it again…Please don't let your son see it!”
Frightened, he collapsed to the ground, and an unpleasant smell slowly seeped out from under his body.
After hearing this news, Shi Huang didn't even blink.
Li Si was not dead yet, and he was already so useless. He still wanted to inherit Great Qin's 100-year-old foundation?
It was simply wishful thinking!
If it wasn't for the fact that he hadn't thought of any new cruel criminal law, he definitely wouldn't have let Li Si die so " peacefully "!
However, his thoughts were completely different from those of the commoners who were watching the execution.
Miserable cries of pain and despair rang in the ears of every citizen.
Everyone held their breaths and focused their attention. Many people were so scared that their faces turned pale. Many people even closed their eyes and their legs were weak, but they were unwilling to witness this rare scene of punishment.
Slowly, Li Si's voice became weaker and weaker.
Bang!
Finally, his body, which could not hold on any longer, was torn into pieces like a rag.
The rain of blood ended Li Si's life.
At this moment, the extremely cruel scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every spectator.
Everyone's respect for the First Emperor had once again reached its peak.
The warm blood dripped onto Huhai's face like red rain, and he fainted.
Other than him, there were also many commoners who could not help but want to retreat. In the end, their legs went weak and they fell to the ground unsteadily.
The courtiers who were forced to watch the execution also turned pale in fear. There were even many ministers who could not help but vomit when they heard the smell of blood in the air.
