Silence, deathly silence. Everyone's minds went blank; no one had expected that Great Qin's young master would kill someone so easily.
"Clear your identities. The six states have already perished, and you are no longer nobles. From this moment on, you only have one identity, and that is to be a citizen of the Qin country. Of course, if you are unwilling to be a citizen of my Qin country, this young master will not force you.”
As soon as Ying Ziyu finished speaking, the entire place was silent. No one answered.
Ying Ziyu frowned and snorted,"Since no one is willing to speak, that means no one is willing? Then I can only…"
"Wait…"
Before Ying Ziyu could finish speaking, someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed,
"Young Master, I…I'm willing to be a citizen of Great Qin."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked out trembling.
"I... I'm willing to do it too." Another person walked out.
Three, five, tens, and hundreds of Nobles from the six countries all stood out and expressed their willingness to become Great Qin's subjects. A moment later, only 10 - 20% of the people who were still struggling were left.
"Very good, congratulations on making a wise choice. From now on, you are all subjects of Great Qin.”
"Since you've chosen to become a citizen of Great Qin, you'll have to get rid of your previous identity and end things with the past.”
"Someone will bring you and your family to your new residence later.”
Everyone was stunned. What did this mean?
Even though they felt quite confused, no one dared to ask. As for those who did not choose to join Great Qin, they all looked quite regretful.
Ying Ziyu glanced at these people and instructed Azure Dragon beside him,"Bring our brothers and raid these people's homes.”
"Yes!"
Azure Dragon immediately stepped forward to receive the order.
Ying Ziyu continued," Black Tortoise, take these…en, the nobles of the six dynasties into the prison and hand them over to Cao Can.”
Hearing that Great Qin was going to send those who had not chosen to join it to jail, they hurriedly said,""Young Master…Young Master, I am willing to become a citizen of Great Qin. Please give me a chance!”
"Young Master, I'm also willing. Please give me a chance.”
"I'm willing, I'm willing to become a citizen of Great Qin.”
Looking at these people who were begging for mercy, Ying Ziyu snorted coldly and said disdainfully,"Just now, I gave you a chance, but you didn't grasp it. Now, it's too late.”
"Detain them all."
Following Ying Ziyu's order, the Black Tortoise immediately went up and took everyone away. As for those who had chosen to join Great Qin, they let out a sigh of relief and felt quite happy about their decision.
"Thank you for your kindness, young master. When we return, we will definitely offer you a large sum of money.”
"Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely pay a lot of money when I return. I will take my leave first.”
Looking at the blood on the ground, these people did not want to stay any longer. They all went forward to bid farewell and prepared to leave.
Ying Ziyu looked at these people with a puzzled expression. He walked up to one of them and asked,"What's your name? Are you rich?"
The person hurriedly bowed." Young Master, I am Tian He. I am not rich, but I have some assets."
Ying Ziyu shook his head.”
Tian He's expression changed slightly. Looking at Ying Yu, he didn't know whether to answer that he had money or not. If he didn't answer properly, he would lose his head.
"Tian He of the Qi Kingdom is the one with some assets, not the current Tian He of the Great Qin. Am I right?”
Tian He froze on the spot when he heard this. How could he not understand the meaning behind Ying Ziyu's words? This was the rhythm of him taking away his family property. The others were also shocked.
No wonder this young master of Great Qin had let them off so easily. It turned out that he had taken a fancy to their businesses.
Looking at the shocked faces of everyone, Ying Ziyu said indifferently,""Did I not make myself clear just now?”
"Since you've chosen to join Great Qin, you've welcomed a new life. If you want to become a citizen of Great Qin, you'll have to start from scratch. As for your family assets, I'll take care of them for you.”
As the sound of his voice faded, Ying Ziyu strode away. He had finally found an opportunity, so he naturally wouldn't let it go.
He could use the name of the assassination of the First Emperor to wipe out all the nobles of the six dynasties in Xianyang City. If they wanted to blame someone, let them blame Zhang Liang.
After settling the assets of the nobles of the six dynasties, Ying Ziyu rushed to the outskirts of Xianyang.
The people from the six dynasties who had been scared out of their wits just now were just small characters. What he was going to see next was a person with weight.
Soon, Ying Ziyu and Meng Yi arrived in front of a manor. This place was located in the outskirts of Xianyang. The air here was very good, and the surrounding scenery was also not bad. It was very suitable for people to cultivate and recuperate. Of course, the premise was that there were no black-armored soldiers guarding nearby.
In this manor lived the former royal families of the six dynasties.
As soon as Ying Ziyu and Meng Tian arrived, a middle-aged man immediately came to welcome them.
"This subordinate Feng Zheng greets Young Master and High Official Meng.”
Ying nodded slightly.”
"Young Master, everything has been prepared according to your instructions.”
Feng Zheng came to Ying Ziyu's side and said respectfully.
"Alright."
Ying Ziyu replied indifferently. Then, he strode into the manor. Under Feng Zheng's lead, the few of them quickly arrived at a hall.
The hall was very simple. There were a few tables, wooden fans and screens on both sides, and a few pillars.
The furnishings in the hall were so simple that it was obvious at a glance.
Ying Ziyu directly sat down at the head of the table and said indifferently,"Call the Korean royal family over."
At the same time, outside the side door of the hall, a middle-aged man with thin cheeks and sunken eyes was waiting quietly.
This person was the Young Master of Korea, Lord Hengyang, Han Cheng.
At this moment, Han Cheng felt uneasy. He already knew about the news of the Embroidered Uniform Guards capturing the nobles of the six countries last night. Today, this young master of the Great Qin Dynasty wanted to see him. Could it be that it was time for him to die?
Just as he was feeling uneasy, a servant walked over and said coldly,"Let's go, Young Master Yu wants to see you."
Han Cheng smiled bitterly and helplessly followed the chamberlain into the hall.
"Han Cheng greets Young Master Yu."
Seeing Ying Ziyu sitting at the head of the table, Han Cheng hurriedly paid his respects. Han Cheng did not know Ying Ziyu, but he knew Meng Yi. From their seating arrangement, he knew that the person in front of him was Great Qin's Sixth Young Master, Ying Ziyu.
"Get up." Ying Ziyu said indifferently.
An inexplicable sense of humiliation welled up in Han Cheng's heart, but he did not dare to show it."Thank you, Young Master."
"Sit."
Han Cheng looked around and found a random seat to sit down.
"The air in this manor is fresh and the scenery is beautiful.”
Lord Hengyang was such a harsh name.
Han Cheng was almost forty years old. He was imprisoned here and all his activities were restricted. He had to eat fresh water every day. Although he was already numb, the resentment in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Seeing that Han Cheng did not reply for a long time, Feng Zheng scolded angrily,"Lord Hengyang, the young master is asking you a question.”
"Thank you for your concern, young master. I am very used to living here.”
Han Cheng was also helpless. Who would get used to such a life? He really wanted to say that, but when he saw Ying Ziyu's smiling face, he didn't dare to. His heart was even more flustered.
"Since you're used to living here, why is Lord Hengyang frowning?”
Han Cheng was furious, but he could only bite the bullet and squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"That's right. Smile more when you have nothing to do. Don't always have a straight face.”
Ying Ziyu paused for a moment before changing the topic."Lord Hengyang, the wars between the countries have lasted for hundreds of years, and the people have suffered greatly. Now that Great Qin has unified the world, the people no longer have to suffer from wars.”
Han Cheng's expression changed slightly. He knew that if he didn't say this well, his head might be removed.
"Qin Shi Huang's achievements were unparalleled, unifying the world and causing the people to no longer suffer from war. This is a grand occasion that has never happened before.”
When Ying Ziyu heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face.""Great minds think alike. This Young Master also thinks so.”
"I dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with you, Young Master." Han Cheng hurriedly said in shock.”
"It's fine, it's fine. Men, serve the wine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two maids walked in with graceful steps, holding wine vessels. These two maids had good looks and good bodies.
At this moment, Han Cheng's eyes were wide open. He had not touched a woman for nearly ten years. As a member of the royal family, Han Cheng's current behavior could be said to be very out of control.
"Pour the wine."
With Ying Ziyu's order, two maids walked over to Han Cheng and knelt down beside him, pouring him wine. Han Cheng looked at the beauties beside him, and his heart was itching. After the wine was poured, Ying Ziyu began the main event of the day.
"Does Lord Hengyang know Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang?”
Hearing Ying Ziyu's words, Han Cheng was stunned. He didn't know why this young master of Great Qin mentioned Zhang Liang.
"Young Master, I do know Zhang Zifang.”
Ying Ziyu nodded slightly." Lord Hengyang knows about the assassination attempt on Father a few days ago, right?”
As soon as he said this, the entire hall fell silent.
Han Cheng's expression changed drastically. He immediately stood up and bowed."Young Master, Han Cheng has nothing to do with this.”
The smile on Ying Ziyu's face disappeared and he said coldly,""Just because you say it's okay, it's okay? Let me tell you, the mastermind behind the assassination of Imperial Father is Zhang Liang. I can't be bothered to argue with you anymore. If you want to live, let Zhang Liang come out and be executed…Of course, you can also choose to die."
Han Cheng froze on the spot when he heard that. Then, he knelt down with a thud."Young Master, I haven't seen Zhang Liang for many years, and I don't even know where he is now. How can I make him come out to be executed?”
"Please have mercy on me, young master.”
Looking at Han Cheng, who was trembling in fear, Ying Ziyu smiled.""It's very simple. You just have to write an article and force Zhang Liang to come and be executed.”
Han Cheng was stunned and quickly said,"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master. It's just that…" However, even if I write an article, Zhang Liang won't be able to see it.”
"You don't need to worry about that. This Young Master naturally has a way to let him see it.”
