Outside Chang'an City, it was midnight at this time, and it should be extremely dark logically.

Indeed, at this time, Chang'an City was indeed dark and quiet, and there were pairs of black-armored Qin troops patrolling on various streets, large and small.

A curfew has been imposed throughout Chang'an City, and anyone can wait at night unless there is an official document or a Qin army general's order.

Otherwise, they are not allowed to go out, and once they are discovered, they will be severely punished, and if the circumstances are serious, they can even be beheaded on the spot by the soldiers of the Qin army.

At this moment, a few miles away from Chang'an City, the sky was bursting into flames, and the orange-red light illuminated the entire night sky red.

It looks like a boundless flame sweeping in the night, giving people a sense of light coming.

"Stop, you all give the old man's assistant. ”

"This is the crystallization of my Great Wei's culture for hundreds of years, how can you be so barbaric? ”

"How dare you claim to be an empire for your barbaric acts, and you are worthy of the word empire?"

Twenty or thirty huge pits had been dug around this matter a few miles away from Chang'an City, and orange-red flames were burning in one of them.

And next to each big pit, there are more than a dozen carts of books, surrounded by Qin armor soldiers who are responsible for guarding them.

And there were constantly soldiers of the Qin army who walked over with the books on the table and still went to the burning pit.

Suddenly, countless cultural achievements turned to ashes.

If you take a closer look, there are also twenty or thirty big pits around the Qin army soldiers who are constantly burning books.

And here, although there are nearly a thousand Qin troops.

Under the light of the flames that seemed to burn out the sky, the originally black and bright Qin army's battle armor actually reflected a faint orange-red light.

It didn't look as good as the killing meaning represented by the cold light reflected in the dark night, but it had a breath of destruction.

At this time, an old man was denouncing the actions of the Qin army, and was saddened by the barbaric burning of so many books.

On crutches, the old man angrily pointed at these soldiers of the whole army, wanting to stop this, and wanting to stop that.

But the old and decaying body seemed so weak, which made the old man feel a sense of sadness.

"Sect Elder Don't be angry. ”

Looking at the old man who was already angry with a red face and a thick neck, and his body was trembling, as if he was about to be angry at any time, a young man behind him came up directly to support him.

Behind the young man, there were also hundreds of figures dressed in various brocade costumes gathered here, and they were all members of the major families in Chang'an City.

The family is not a gate valve, although it is an official in the court and holds great power, but it will not raise private soldiers, will not encroach on land on a large scale, will not form a large-scale group faction, will not go against the court, and has an essential difference from the family gate valve.

Even in the empire, there are many families, such as the Meng family and the Wang family in the imperial capital Xianyang, which all belong to the family category, not to mention Chang'an City, so these people naturally avoided the first wave of purges in the empire.

And not long ago, news came that Emperor Qin had left Chang'an City and his whereabouts were unknown.

When the news came, the family members were overjoyed.

On the terrible day of bloodshed in Chang'an some time ago, the scene of tens of thousands of heads rolling to the ground is still vivid, and these families don't want to follow in the footsteps of those families.

It can be described as worrying and panicking!

With Yingji's departure, these families finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But what countless people didn't expect was that before Emperor Qin left Chang'an City, he suddenly issued an order, in addition to books that are conducive to promoting the development of civilization, such as political books, agricultural books, medical books, and divination books.

All the books on ideology and literature and art kept by the major families in Chang'an City were handed in, and the imperial ** team was dispatched again to collect more than 100,000 books with lightning speed!

After collecting the books, Yingji officially issued an order that all the more than 100,000 ideological books should be burned, and not a single volume should be left.

And all these books are listed as **, and anyone who dares to hide them privately** will be killed!

When the emperor's order was delivered, Chang'an wailed, denouncing this as a destruction of civilization.

But how could Yingji care so much, and directly ordered that anyone who openly acted against the empire's words and deeds should be immediately arrested and executed.

The emperor's ** team dispatched again, arrested and arrested more than 1,000 people who set off riots, and killed them on the street, bleeding on the streets of Chang'an.

The terrifying and bloody means once again suffocated Chang'an City, which had just begun to regain its vitality!

It is no wonder that Yingji is so ruthless this time, Yingji knows a truth, the real unification of the empire must first achieve cultural unity.

And in order to achieve cultural unity, it is first necessary to eliminate these heretical cultures.

If you want to die in its country, you must first die in its history!

Anyone who stands in the way of opposing and blocking the cultural unity of the empire is more hateful than corrupt officials in Yingji's eyes, and can only be solved by ruthless means.

"No one is allowed to move!"

Seeing the books stored in these families being burned one after another like firewood today, it hurts the hearts of these family members.

After all, these books were originally used to cultivate the elite disciples of the family, once they were burned, it would be a huge blow to the future of all the families, how could these people still sit still?

But just as these people were about to make a move, a sudden shout came, and their words were filled with fierce murderous intent.

Let everyone move, not daring to react.

When he looked at it, he saw a young general of the Qin army dressed in silver-white armor and carrying a strong bow and arrows walking forward.

This person was personally arranged by Pei Xingjian, the person in charge of the Chang'an book burning history plan, the imperial lieutenant Zhong Liwu!

And the Qin army of a thousand-strong team around here were all soldiers under Zhong Liwu's original command in the Qin Shi Mingyue World.

The combat power exceeds that of the first-class legion of the Qin army, but it is lower than the titled legion, although the number is small, but the strength cannot be ignored, and now it has become the leader of Pei Xingjian's fifth legion!

In terms of strength, it can beat the 1,000 elite soldiers from the historical Tang Dynasty under Pei Xingjian, which can be called the trump card of the Fifth Legion, and naturally Pei Xingjian was assigned this task, His Majesty's task of death history.

"General Zhongli, these books can't be burned, they can't be burned!"

Seeing Zhong Liwu coming, the old man in the family just now said to Zhong Liwu with tears in his eyes, and there was a hint of pleading in his tone.

It is hard to imagine that for the sake of the family's future, this old man is willing to grovel to a young man.

"Yes, General Zhongli, these books are the foundation of our family, and they must not be burned!"

"You can't burn it, General Zhongli!"

......

Seeing the old man speak, the hundreds of families who followed the old man all competed to speak, wanting to use their power to suppress people and force Zhong Liwu to stop burning books.

After all, now that Emperor Qin has left Chang'an, these family members are also a little relieved.

If this person was Pei Xingjian, even if these people ate leopard gall, they wouldn't dare.

But this person is Zhong Liwu, and in the eyes of these family members, Zhong Liwu is just a junior general of the Qin army, and he has never seen much of the world.

There should be some backstage, so he was promoted to carry out the task of burning books, and he should choose to back down under the firm stance of the major families.

But these people forgot that as a general of the wind, he came from the Qin Shi Mingyue world, fought on the battlefield, and Zhong Liwu, who was loyal to the empire, especially what these miscellaneous fish could speculate.

is also delusional to overwhelm people with power, which is simply naïve.
