Chapter 171: Assassination
Xianyang.
Above the court, Feng Quji assisted in the internal affairs of the DPRK and China, but not long ago, Prime Minister Li Si came with bad news, saying that Meng Yi rebelled, usurped the throne and killed the king, and killed the first emperor, and the prince of Hu Hai had killed him.
After this news spread, Xianyang City was in an uproar, and for a while, the Meng family became the target of public criticism and was spurned by everyone.
Feng Quji was hesitant about this matter, the Meng family has been loyal for generations, the general Meng Tian guards the border passes, and Meng Yi is a powerful minister of His Majesty, how could he usurp the throne and kill the king?
If this was the case, Meng Tian would have already rebelled against Qin, so why is he still not acting today?
But Li Sinai was ordered by Hu Hai to go to the court to control the government first, and condemned the Meng family for the crime of rebellion.
Why is Feng really cunning and doesn't deal with this matter? In desperation, Li Si arrested Feng Quji and other cadres and imprisoned them, and charged them with a 'fellow party of the Meng family'.
Implicated by it, many of Feng Quji's guests were imprisoned, and for a while, Li Si completely controlled the government and became the "emperor" for a few days.
He knew that this "emperor" would be handed over to Hu Hai sooner or later, although he also wanted to be a monarch, but how could his arms be twisted over his thighs?
However, he was able to survive and finally find a chance to return to the future.
However, he had not yet had time to wake up from his dream, and the cruel reality woke him up with a stick.
The news of "Huhai's defeat" spread far and wide, and before the first emperor's army rushed to Xianyang, it reached Li Si's ears.
He never dreamed that Hu Hai would be defeated, and he was pierced through the heart by Meng Yi's sword, and he couldn't die anymore, he sat on the ground and sighed with his head to the sky, one wrong step, one wrong step.
At this moment, I'm afraid that he doesn't even have a chance to live, let alone say anything about returning to the future, everything is nonsense, and his end is coming.
……
It didn't take long for his nightmare to return to Xianyang with his troops, and with Li Si's little strength, how could he resist the army of the First Emperor.
Xianyang did not make any effort to break it.
Back in Xianyang Palace, the first emperor immediately ordered people to arrest Li Si and other cadres, and the Li family had a total of 198 people, including 63 guests.
These people were all captured in front of the Emperor.
After regaining control of the government, the First Emperor did not directly execute Li Si, but after stabilizing the court, he escorted Li Si to the imperial court for personal interrogation, and was exempted from the court trial.
Above the court, the first emperor sat in the first place, he looked at the ministers, and when he saw the familiar faces, he really understood what it means to be separated from the belly.
If he hadn't experienced the hardships of life and death, how would he have discovered what loyalty was? What is a traitor?!
Seeing Li Si kneeling in front of the hall, his expression was haggard, his long hair was scattered, and he lost the courage of the previous prime minister, and he was completely reduced to a prisoner.
"Li Si, I treat you well, you have followed me for more than ten years, and I know that you accept bribes from your subjects, but I know that you have ambitions, but I also close my eyes and refuse to liquidate you. However, your wolf ambition colluded with Hu Hai to usurp the throne and kill the king, did you let the dog eat your conscience? ”
If there are ministers in the court who plot rebellion, the first emperor may not feel angry in his heart, but Li Si has chased him all his life, and he has been here since the conquest of the world, so to speak, in addition to the Meng family, Li Si can definitely be regarded as the latest minister of Yingzheng.
But now, Li Si is in turmoil and wants to kill himself with his son, how can he not make Yingzheng heartbroken?
"Yingzheng, I know that the death penalty is inevitable, if you want to kill, you can kill, why do you come from these words."
Li Si knew that the death penalty was inevitable, that is, he confessed, he called the first emperor by his name, this is a great crime of disrespect, anyway, it is a death horizontally and vertically, why not live before he dies.
It's just that he is ruthless, he has been in the Qin State for more than ten years, but he didn't expect to end up like this, and the matter has developed so far, the culprit of everything is Meng Yi.
"Presumptuous, Your Majesty's name is also something you can call casually."
Meng Yiguan worshiped Shangqing, since he was among the courtiers, he had long wanted to kick Li Si, but he couldn't find the opportunity, and now he bluntly said that the emperor's name just gave him a reason.
With that, Meng Yi stepped forward and kicked Li Si to the ground.
Li Si is a brute, Meng Yi treats him as a relative, but he wants to kill himself in turn, this kind of scum, Meng Yi has long wanted to kick him twice.
Li Si was tied up by five flowers, he squirmed up from the ground, and looked at Meng Yi angrily, his face was full of anger.
"Meng Yi, you're fucking looking for death."
But just as Li Si's words fell, above the court, Meng Yi beat Li Si violently, which was a strange thing and should not have been allowed.
The First Emperor knew that if it weren't for the conspiracy of Li Si and others, they would almost die in Songhai, so he naturally knew that he was angry in his heart.
So, he acquiesced in Meng Yi's ruffian behavior, after all, he was a man who shared hardships with the first emperor and blocked the sword for the emperor, so who dared to criticize him.
In the end, Li Si was beaten into a pig's head by Meng Yi, and his mouth was full of blood.
Where is this, the pain suffered by Meng Yi and Ying Zheng can not be exchanged for this little beating, and even killing him is not enough to calm the anger.
Seeing that Li Si was beaten in an inhuman shape, Yingzheng had no choice but to wave his hand and let the guards drag him down.
At this time, the First Emperor asked, "Meng Yi, I know that you have hatred in your heart, but you beat it like this, how can you interrogate his comrades next?" ”
Knowing from Yaotong that there were other people acting after Hu Hai's death, Meng Yi was sure that there were still thieves in the court, and Li Si, as the person concerned, must know a lot of information.
And now the interrogation in the court is to use this as a breakthrough to find the strength behind Hu Hai, but Meng Yi really can't help it, and beats Li Si into a pig's head, where else can he ask.
"Your Majesty, you have already seen Li Si's face just now, he is desperate to die, I am afraid that I can't ask any useful information from his mouth, why don't we retreat and find other breakthroughs?" Meng Yi said.
"Who else but him?"
Emperor Shi asked puzzledly, did he still know that Li Si's comrades were not successful?
"Your Majesty is really confused, doesn't Li Si have a son?"
"You mean Li You?"
"This kid is a greedy and fearful of death, as long as he is coerced and enticed, he will inevitably confess." Meng Yi said.
Ying Zheng doesn't know much about Li You, and he doesn't know much about him, but what he is afraid of death is not a secret, and Li Si's secret, although Li You is not omniscient, definitely knows more than them.
"I know what to do." The First Emperor sneered.
In the matter of torture to extract confessions, the Great Qin Empire, which is known for its strict laws, is not casually called, and there is no three-to-two style, so how can it be called 'violent Qin'.
"Where is Captain Ting?"
"The minister is here!"
"You and Lang Zhong ordered the two to go to the prison to interrogate Li You, as long as you don't die, let you force a confession, I will not pursue it." The First Emperor said.
What is immortality, that is, let go of the toss, Meng Yi can already imagine the next picture of Li You being tortured and half dead, and now he is only to blame for ending up like this.
"Whoa!"
"Your Majesty, the minister has a please!"
"Come on."
"This Li You is the same age as the minister, and it will be easier to judge, and there is no need for Tingwei and Lang Zhongling." Meng Yi took the initiative to ask.
The First Emperor didn't know what Meng Yi was thinking, this kid was obviously waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, and it was Li You who led people to attack them in the first place.
However, since it was Meng Yi's invitation, it was up to him to go.
"Yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
……
Now that the Li family has all been arrested and imprisoned, Li You is imprisoned in a nine-story prison, bound by ten bronze chains, just waiting for the day of death.
After the order was given, Meng Yi came to the prison in the name of the interrogator, and ordered the jailer to bring Li You here for interrogation.
"Li You, look up and see who I am?"
Li You slowly raised his eyes, but when he saw that the person who came was Meng Yi, his state of mind suddenly became agitated, and he roared angrily: "Meng Yi! What are you going to do?! ”
"Come and see an old friend."
"Whoever is an old friend with you, if you come to make fun of me, you can get out, I don't want to see you."
Seeing that he was a little excited, Meng Yi sneered: "You guessed right, I just came to make fun of you, what can you do with me?!" ”
"Bastard, our family is where it is today because of you damn bastard."
"Li You, you are really thick-skinned, who ambushed me on the way, causing me to fall off the cliff and almost die? Not to mention this, in Songhai City, your father and Hu Hai want to put me to death, how should this account be settled? Now that you have ended up in prison, you are just to blame, so why do you resent others? ”
Before Li You could answer, Meng Yi said again: "Don't say that I didn't give you a chance to live, as long as you tell me the secret about the people behind you, I can spare you from dying." ”
"Whew! If you want me to betray the people in the organization, you go and die! ”
"Backbone."
Meng Yi clapped his palms and said, "I hope you can still have the backbone to continue to be strong in the future?" ”
"What do you want to do?"
Li You felt that something was wrong, could it be that Meng Yi wanted to lynch him?!
"Of course, to see if it's your mouth or bones?" Meng Yi said slyly, "Come on, bring all the torture instruments up, and let the son of the Li family taste the power of our Great Qin Criminal Law." ”
Li Youke knew that the punishment of the Qin State was terrible, and those torture tools that pondered people were afraid that they had already burped before they were all used.
Meng Yi was also too lazy to speak, so he directly waved his hand and said, "Come, give Li Gongzi the first punishment, the punishment of cannon branding." ”
The so-called cannon branding is to put people's chests close to the red-hot iron pillars, and roast human flesh alive, and his punishment can be described as extremely cruel.
Li You was originally timid and afraid, and when he came up, he was punished so cruelly, how could he not be afraid, and said, "Stay...... Stop, I'll move, I'll do anything. ”
"Stop."
Meng Yi shouted.
"Say it."
"My dad has a list of people in the organization who are lurking in the court."
"Where's the list?"
"The list is ......"
Suddenly, a silver needle shot into Li You's skull, and he died instantly.
