In the West, the third son of the head of the Western family, he has been spoiled by Western art since he was a child.

When he was eighteen years old, he took charge of the business of the Western family in the Bashu area in the west of the empire, and was responsible for training the concubines who had a wide audience and attracted a lot of money in the Bashu building.

At the age of twenty-five, the official residence Yongxiang order, the eunuch in charge of the harem, the life of the palace maid, and the punishment of the crimes of the palace people, the annual salary of 1,000 stones.

In the public according to the Qin law, not in vain.

In private, generous, good friends, heroic.

drove the chariot, went to the battlefield, and could write a handful of chapters with a pen.

In the Qin State, this belongs to both civil and military, which is very rare, and has an excellent reputation in the Xianyang aristocratic circle.

In the West on the 29th of this year, it seems that there is a situation of the next head of the Western family, and he is familiar with many court officials.

Wucheng Marquis Wang Jian once asked him if he wanted to join the army, and he could take him on the expedition.

Meng Tian, the leader of the young generals, is a friend in the West, and the two often drink and chat.

Even the First Emperor once praised the West, if this son had been born ten years earlier, the destruction of the Six Kingdoms would have his merits.

The West doesn't seem to have any shortcomings, and it has been smooth sailing along the way, and it treats people and things just right.

Socializing with the righteous slaughtering dogs, he can hold the dog's legs with both hands, and his mouth is full of oil, which is not too sloppy.

Walking with the nobles of the family, they are polite and thoughtful, like the old Qin nobles who have lived for a hundred years.

Such a promising West with normal development has encountered abnormal things today.

There were three headless corpses in front of him, warm blood on his bare cheeks, and the backs of his hands slowly cooled.

took away the heat in his blood and skin, and the cold enveloped him all over.

When he was first arrested and sent to the Tingwei Mansion, the West was not worried at all.

There are too many people arrested, and they are still the three major families of Meng Xibai.

Generally speaking, as long as it is not a major crime of treason, the more people are arrested, the smaller the matter.

Even when he heard that Li Si tried the case and wanted to convict the three major families, the West was still not worried.

As the oldest of the three oldest families in the Qin State, what did Meng Xibai do to be executed together?

is really guilty of a capital crime, as long as it is not a major crime that touches the bottom line of the first emperor, such as rebellion.

Some other capital sins will eventually become four words, and the sin will not lead to death.

There is a saying in "The Book of Rites": If you can't be courteous, you can't punish a doctor.

The Zhou Dynasty, which ruled the country with etiquette, divided people into ten classes, and practiced this sentence for 800 years.

Shang Ying, a Legalist giant who opposed Confucianism and believed that Confucianism forced Lai Lai, had no use except for misleading the country, and should be driven out of it all, proposed to rule the country by law.

"Historical Records: The Biography of Shang Jun" says: The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people.

At first glance, this should be regarded as progress.

In fact, this sentence is meant to be heard by the ordinary people who are not sensible, and this is a.

The regular judicial process is that the offense, the conviction, the punishment for the crime committed - beheading, imprisonment, and dismemberment.

This sentence from "The Biography of Shang Jun" only proceeds to conviction and does not mention subsequent punishments, which is a scoundrel.

Qin law stipulates that you must chop your hands when you raise ash on the road.

If the people raise ashes, they will be convicted of raising ashes, and the punishment will be chopping their hands.

The nobles raised ashes, convicted of ashes, and the punishment was unknown.

The same crime is not justice, the same crime is the same punishment.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao set the rule that whoever stepped on the crops in the field would be beheaded, and then his horse Dada stepped on the crops in the field.

Cao Cao said: Although I am your lord, the rules are set by me, and I can't disobey them.

Master Meng De cut off a few hairs, and said with an expression that he wanted his life, and said that the body hair is similar to the head, and I will cut the hair and take the head.

This was the case in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which had developed for 400 years, and in today's era, this situation will only occur more.

King Qin Huiwen killed someone when he was a prince, and his uncle was punished and had his nose cut off.

It was Gan Long staring at it, it was his political game with Shang Ying, and it was the result of the struggle between the old and new forces.

Without the participation of top nobles, what is the prince to kill a few people? Want to kill a few kill a few.

Even if Gan Long is staring at it like this, the prince is also executed if he kills people according to Qin law, so isn't he also executed?

The division has received it, and it is ridiculous to substitute the death penalty for a slashing sentence, isn't this the legal top bag of the Qin State.

This is what Gan Long is watching, and he must cut off the nose of a weighty person.

If the prince was found to be in the city and the people were aware of it, Shang Ying would not have to be so troublesome.

casually find a death row prisoner and say that this is the prince teacher who killed him, which is not only angry but also upholds the justice of Qin Law.

Under the policy of fooling the people, the people of Qin were mostly ignorant. Not only will I not feel affected by the lake, but I will also thank Shang Ying.

That's what the West thinks, and that's what the mainstream of this era is, regardless of the nobility.

Things are indeed going according to Western ideas, and witnesses are afraid to continue testifying for fear of reprisals.

Not only did none of the three Mengxi Bai families receive criminal sanctions, but they didn't even go to the step of conviction, which is the norm.

Just when the West was a little bored and stood there and began to close his eyes and recuperate, waiting for the farce to end, his name was called.

When he opened his eyes, the West and the four other people whose names were called were on the field, ready to go through the motions.

In less than a cup of tea, the three people who went through the motions before him were all convicted by Li Si and cut off their heads overtime.

Although these charges are true, this is not normal, and nobles like them from great families should not be convicted like this.

With his hand splashed with the blood of the three families, the West wiped the blood stained on his cheek a few times.

On the Western touch, the blood beads on the face are wiped out.

In the real scene, the blood stains on the face of the West changed from a line to a face, smearing the face that was originally a humble son into a ghost.

After listening to the accusations and witness testimonies of Li Si in a daze, he stared at the evidence placed on the table in front of Li Si with unfocused eyes.

"The West."

Li Si lowered his head and did not look at the hideous face of the West.

"What else do you have to say?"

appeal, self-proof, this is the treatment that the children of the three major families who were beheaded in the first three did not get.

The West had a bitter mouth and smiled.

The sticky, air-dried blood was pulled, giving the West a strange feeling on his face.

Looking up at the blue sky, the west shaded the sun with his hands and opened his eyes to the sun.

"Did Prime Minister Zuo interrogate this time and ask Your Majesty?"

“…… Never. ”

"Never?"

"Enforce the law impartially and act according to the laws of Qin, why bother Your Majesty."

"It's not interesting for Zuo Xiang to talk like this."

"Li Siben is a boring person."

"Huh."

The West lowered his hand, basking in the not-so-blazing sun, took a deep breath and smiled brightly.

"Brother Li, Fang doesn't want Xili Lake to die, let Fang be a ghost."

Slaves were inferior to merchants, merchants were inferior to peasants, and peasants were inferior to nobles.

Qin Law has never been in charge of the aristocracy, but the inferior ones who are inferior to the nobility.

Those who can sanction the nobility are those who are higher than the nobility.

The West originally thought that the person who could ask Li Si to kill the three major families was the First Emperor.

In his heart, only the First Emperor could make Zuo Prime Minister Li Si act like this.

Unexpectedly, he learned from Li Si that it was not the First Emperor, which surprised the West.

The noisy three families gradually quieted down, as the children of the family, they may be sloppy, they may not be capable, but they are definitely not pure fools.

They did not accept their fate, as the West did.

But they, like the West, want to know why.

Why did the three people in front die, and whether we in the back want to die again.

Only when we know where the root cause of the problem is, can we find a way to solve it.

It was Qin Law who convicted them.

The weapon that killed them was Qin Jian.

But Qin Law and Qin Jian are not the cause of their death, Qin Law and Qin Jian are the masters.

Li Si lowered his head, and his ruthless eyes were mixed with unbearable.

A few years ago, the down-and-out Chu man from the Jixia School Palace of Qi Guo bought gifts that even the housekeeper of Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei's house looked down on.

But he was picked up by a descendant who was born in a family, and said with a smile Do you want to come to my door to be wronged for a while, if you are really talented, I will take you with me next time I see Wen Xinhou.

At that time, the Chu people were in the Jixia School Palace, and they were at the time when they were most arrogant, where they were willing to respond.

He bowed deeply to the black Shu brocade robe that only nobles could wear, thanked him and left proudly.

After that, the second time the Chu people met the son of the family was in the mansion of the Marquis of Wenxin.

Wenxin Hou Lü Buwei invited the prince of the family to the mansion for a banquet, called Li Si out, and told the Chu people that if it wasn't for Fang's nephew to tell the old man what you said in the wine shop, the old man would not notice you.

"Si has said it a long time ago."

Li Si replied abruptly.

"Yes, Chang'an-kun?"

The eyes of the West twinkled, and there was disbelief in them.

Although the dispute between Ying Chengzhi and the family has continued, he also killed a Bao Bailingzhi.

The West knows that Ying Chengcheng is extremely bold and reckless, but he does not know that Ying Chengcheng is so bold and reckless.

Even if Li Si said at the beginning that he was on the order of Chang An Jun, the West never believed it and always thought that this was just the rhetoric of the First Emperor.

Li Si should not be silent, this is the acquiescence.

"Brother Li!"

The West was emotionally agitated and reluctantly stepped forward.

The Qin sword on the waist of the soldiers on both sides was unsheathed, and the two swords intersected into a fork and stopped in front of Xi.

"Stop!"

Xi suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly took a step back, and knelt on the ground with a pop.

"Left Phase! I am the Yongxiang Order, and it takes His Majesty's permission to kill me! ”

Hearing that it was Ying Cheng's order, a raging fire called hope ignited in the hearts of the West.

To convict a Yongxiang with an annual salary of 1,000 stones, in fact, there is no need for the First Emperor to come forward, only officials with an annual salary of 2,000 stones will ask the First Emperor to approve it.

The West said this in the name of giving Li Si a report to the First Emperor.

As the Yongxiang Order, the West is half a palace person, and the number of times he has met the First Emperor is not small.

No one knows what promises the First Emperor made to him or what he said.

Your Majesty doesn't know, it's all done by that erection, as long as Your Majesty knows it, you won't allow it!

"I haven't heard of this law."

Li Si raised his head when he heard a loud pop, and looked at the embarrassed people kneeling on the ground in front of him, in the West where Xianyang was very famous.

The West had a pleading look on his face.

Li Si said coldly: "Si has been interrogated here for so long, he is very tired, and he has no time to talk to you, what else do you have to say!"

Li Si bit the accent on the four words for so long, and the West was stunned for a moment, and his expression turned to despair.

yes, so long.

Such a major event happened in Xianyang, Your Majesty must have known about it a long time ago.

There has been no holy decree for such a long time, and His Majesty's intention is very clear.

He smiled bitterly, and stood up with his bloody hands on the ground stained red by the blood of the three families.

With his mind, if he hadn't been frightened by life and death, he would have figured this out a long time ago.

"Left Phase."

The West bowed his head and his voice was low.

"Ying Cheng, is he the emperor?"

Li Si's face changed.

"If he can kill me today, he can kill you tomorrow, and kill all the princes in the court."

The West looked up, and the cheeks that were supposed to be humble gentlemen were veritable blood-colored, like a demon crawling out of hell.

With all the strength of his body, he roared: "Today's West! It's tomorrow's princes! ”

"Owl head, immediate execution!"

Li Si roared.

The soldier closest to the west brandished his sword and slashed at the west's head.

"Fang Zilai!"

The West roared angrily, dodged the sword of the government soldier sideways, and slapped the government soldier on the wrist with his short body.

The government soldier lost consciousness in his wrist, and the Qin sword in his hand fell.

The west elbowed the government soldier in the chest and repelled the government soldier by five steps, and stretched out his foot to kick the hilt of the lost Qin sword.

Qin's sword bounced up under the force, and the western eye quickly grabbed the hilt of the sword.

On all sides, five more soldiers either swung their swords or stabbed their swords and attacked the west.

"Get out!"

The West roared, brandishing the Qin Sword to block it all.

"How can a nobleman die under the laws of Qin! I'm committing suicide too! ”

The shining Qin sword wiped his neck and cut through the throat to separate the arteries.

The West has just been soaked in the blood of others, and now it is finally soaking others with its own blood.

The warm blood carried the resentment of the master, and released the resentment in the warm sun, and its lord fell to the ground,

The West is dead.

The children of the three families of Meng Xibai became noisy again, screaming and roaring filial piety.

"Is that the emperor the erector?

"If you can kill Meng Xibai today, you will dare to kill the king tomorrow!"

"Qin has this son, who can be stable?"

"Lord Zuo Xiang is not afraid that it will be you who will shed blood here tomorrow?"

"Whoever can stay out of the matter is the meat of the chopping board!"

Li Si's face was ugly.

He was not rebelled by these people, and as the director of both Confucianism and Law, he would not be confused by these three words.

But he could not remain indifferent to these words, and take them as a deaf ear.

Li Si knew very well that the relationship between Ying Chengcheng and the First Emperor was very good, very unusual.

He was beaten into a pig's head for provoking the relationship between the two, and he heard the first emperor say that Cheng Chan would not betray, and he once saw with his own eyes the jade that could represent the identity of Qin Jun and have the same origin as the jade seal of the country.

In private, Li Si had already treated Ying Chengcheng as the first emperor.

But whether the relationship between the two can surpass the throne of the lord of the world and symbolize absolute power, Li Si is not sure.

Even if the first emperor took Ying Cheng Chan to the high platform during the wax sacrifice and personally built momentum for Ying Cheng Chan, it seemed that Ying Cheng Chan inherited the throne.

But before Ying Chengcheng did not officially succeed to the throne, it was the first emperor who sat on the throne.

At this time, Ying Chengcheng exercised the monarchy as a minister, and it was appropriate to kill the three major families.

Li Si didn't know, but he was inclined that the First Emperor wouldn't care about it.

Whether it was Lü Buwei's entry into the Xiangbang Mansion or Ying Chengchan's retirement in Xianyang Prison, it all showed that the First Emperor had a high degree of trust in Ying Chengchan, so he did not report it.

So as not to make Ying Cheng unhappy because he did not carry out the order to report to the First Emperor, and because he was disloyal to Ying Cheng Chan, he would make the First Emperor unhappy, and the two sides would not please him.

But Li Si also knew that the First Emperor would not give such an order to destroy the three families.

I don't know the first emperor's intentions, in case Ying Chengcheng does this, the first emperor will not allow it.

Li Si cut people first, wouldn't that go against the will of the First Emperor?

The thoughtful Li Si quickly thought of a way, and he extended the interrogation time and waited for the First Emperor to give instructions.

The First Emperor did not have a holy decree, which meant acquiescence, and Li Si was relieved to kill.

If things had been going on so unexpectedly, Lis's approach would have been textbook-perfect.

But because of his personal friendship with the West, Li Si said a few more words to the West.

After learning that Ying Chengchan was doing the trouble, the West picked up the fact that the monarch's power was desecrated, accusing Ying Chengchan of being too powerful, and doing so would force the monarchy.

and used words to pull the courtiers and the Mengxi Bai family into a trench.

It is impossible for Li Si to kill all the officials of the Tingwei Mansion.

As long as he can't, the next day the words of the West will spread throughout the upper social circles of Xianyang.

From the First Emperor to the Minor Officials, everyone will know about it.

Li Si didn't know what the attitude of the First Emperor was like at that time.

And if the first emperor is angry, even if he doesn't blame Ying Chengcheng in his heart, he is just under the pressure of his ministers and pretending to be angry in order to maintain the monarchy.

Then, as a matter of leading to the encroachment of the monarchy and the arrest and killing of the three families, it is inevitable to rehabilitate the three families, which is politics.

The opposite of a good person must be a bad person, and if it is found that a good person secretly kills people and sets fires and does all kinds of evil, the crime is extremely evil, and he wants to beat the "good person" to death.

Then you have to put a good guy on the bad guy who has always been opposed to the "good guy", regardless of whether the bad guy is a good guy or not.

This is the fastest and easiest way to kill the "good guys" with reasonable reason.

The West used his body to die, and for the three families of Mengxi and Bai, they walked out of such a road.

"Hold these people in place, and behead those who act recklessly!"

Li Si said with a dark face.

Before the First Emperor knew the words of the West before his death, Li Si would not kill any of the people of the three families.

The room fell silent, and the people of the three families breathed a sigh of relief, and threw a look of gratitude to the West who had fallen in a pool of blood.

The most grateful to the West is the only man left among the five people who stood up together.

If there was no West, he would have been read out by Li Si at this time, and he would have died in despair.

After settling the three families of Meng Xibai, Li Si asked someone to put away the four corpses on the ground and send them to Xianyang Prison.

……

Inside Xianyang Prison.

The three masters were a little tired of scolding, and the Gan Xian nephew behind him couldn't always turn a blind eye.

The three of them ignored Ying Chengcheng at the door of the cell and turned around, as if they had just seen Ganluo.

shouted at Ganluo for a while, and once again criticized the insidious and vicious Yingcheng in front of Ganluo, and swore that he would save Ganluo.

Gan Luo grabbed his messy hair and persuaded, "The three uncles should worry more about themselves."

Since the jailer left just now, Ganluo's sense of foreboding has become stronger and stronger.

If Ying Chengcheng's words are gibberish, they will be debunked in an instant, and they will be depreciated in vain.

Gan Luo couldn't figure out the reason why Ying Chengcheng lied, so he could only take it as true, but it was heartfelt to dissuade the three masters.

The three heads of the family still thought that Gan Luo was satirizing the three of them after they were arrested in Xianyang Prison, and they didn't think about rescue, but thought that they should take the opportunity to seize power and deserve to be arrested and put in Xianyang Prison.

The three of them treat others as their own, and if they feel that they are in a different position, they will also be full of resentment and cynicism.

After exchanging glances with each other, the eagerness and anxiety on their faces went down.

Bai Fei sat beside Gan Luo and said, "Virtuous nephew, if you are in our situation, what you do should be no different from ours."

Meng Jiakun had a cold face and snorted coldly.

"In the past, Ganlong used a trick to lead my three major families to fight against Wei Ying, and the surging river was soaked in the blood of the ancestors. The Gan family took the opportunity to become the head of the family, although it was only brilliant for a few years, but this matter is not fake? Your Gan family did this dangerous thing first, but the virtuous nephew can't complain about me now. ”

Xishu's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he sat down on the ground.

"I can understand the grievances of the virtuous nephew, why don't you do this, when you get out of Xianyang Prison, the three of my families will share the method of training concubines with the virtuous nephew?

"Of course, the virtuous nephew also has to tell me about the three families, the method of contact between families in various parts of the world. Although the virtuous nephew has earned more than my three families, he has always done business with the world.

"My three families were only acting in Guanzhong, and they never sold their concubines to the Six Kingdoms. If the prosperity of various places is gradually rising today, where does the land of Qi Chuyan and Zhao not like beauties?

"If it weren't for the fact that my three families alone couldn't train such a large number of concubines, how could I find a virtuous nephew in this matter? The virtuous nephew suffered a small loss when he was imprisoned, and my three families lost a cornucopia, is the sincerity enough? ”

Gan Luochu was still listening to the words of the three of them, and when Xishu was halfway through, he looked at the door of the prison and was stunned.

He reached out with one hand and tapped the flail around Xishu's neck, signaling Xishu with his back to the cell door to turn back.

With the other hand, he beckoned Bai Fei, who was focused on himself, and Meng Jiakun turned his attention to the prison door.

"Three uncles, are you from the three families?"

The three of them said don't listen to the vertical fart and disdain to look back.

Seeing three bloody heads and a corpse of Qin Jian stuck between the neck bones, they were piled up at Yingcheng's feet.

"Find a few death row inmates and kill them, just want to scare me and wait? When I was your twelve-year-old child, I would still be scared to cry?! ”

Xishu ran over in small steps, kicked a skull away, and looked at the white brains that the skull knocked out on the wall of the cell, and smiled sickly.

There are a large number of Meng Xibai's three major families, Meng Jiakun, Bai Fei, and Xishu are the heads of the family, and the family lineage of their own lineage may be able to recognize a rough idea.

But for the family lineages that occupy the majority, the three family heads can only remember the outstanding sons among them.

This is normal.

Most people in modern times don't have a very large family, and how many people know all their relatives?

It is common for distant relatives not to know each other when they get close, not to mention that there are hundreds of people in each of the three major families of Mengxibai.

"Uncle Shu, I told you a long time ago that you are sick. If you are an antisocial personality like yours, you will die. ”

Ying Cheng squinted, and there was a sharp aura between the two gaps, and the handsome face was like iron.

"It's okay if you don't know these people, it's okay, you'll always kill people you know. At the beginning, I cried and begged you to stop, but you smiled and said that these cheap women did not succeed enough, and it was not a pity to die, and it was not worth crying.

"After all these years, I thought I had forgotten the poor women and your anti-human laughter. When I hear you laugh today, exactly the same as I did back then, I know that I have never forgotten. ”

The jailer who stretched out his hand to deliver the corpse to the head stepped forward, and the jailer bowed and stood by.

"Tell Li Si to kill my uncle's son first. I don't believe it, he doesn't even remember what his son looks like. ”

"Yui."

Ying Cheng stared at Xishu's grinning and twisted mouth.

"Uncle Shu, Cheng Chan will ask you for something again."

Pembong~

Xishu kicked both heads away, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the heads hitting the wall, and his face was happy.

"What do you want? Please, I'll kick your head like a ball? Stick your head at my feet, hahahaha! ”

Ying Cheng Cheng was a word by word.

"I, please, you, don't, beg, me."
