My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 282 Uncle Shu, I beg you one more thing
West, the third son of Xi Shu, the head of the Xi family, has been favored by Xi Shu since he was a child because his behavior and personality resemble Xi Shu.

At the age of eighteen, he was in charge of the business of the Xi family in the Bashu area in the west of the empire, and was responsible for training concubines who had a wide audience and attracted a lot of money in the Bashu towers.

At the age of 25, he became an official residence in Yongxiang Order, in charge of eunuchs in the harem, the life of palace ladies, and the punishment of crimes committed by palace servants, with an annual salary of [-] shi.

Doing things according to the laws of Qin in the public, it is not in vain to indulge one person.

In private, he is generous, good friends and heroic.

He can drive a chariot, go to the battlefield, and write memorials with a pen.

In the state of Qin, this is a combination of civil and military skills, which is very rare, and has an excellent reputation among the noble circles of Xianyang.

Xixi, who is 29 this year, seems to be the next head of the Xi family, and he is familiar with many court officials.

Wucheng Hou Wangjian once asked him if he wanted to join the army, and he could take him out.

Meng Tian, ​​the leader of the young generals, is a good 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, he would have made great achievements in destroying the six kingdoms.

There seems to be no shortcoming in the West. It has been smooth sailing along the way, and it treats people just right.

When interacting with the generation who slaughtered dogs in Zhengyi, he can hold the dog's leg with both hands, and eat it so that his mouth is full of oil, so he doesn't think it's sloppy.

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

Such a normally developing West with great prospects has encountered something abnormal today.

There were three headless corpses in front of him, warm blood on his exposed cheeks, and the back of his hands slowly getting cold.

It took away the heat in his blood and skin, and the coldness enveloped him completely.

West was not worried at all when he was arrested at Tingwei's Mansion.

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

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

When he heard that Li Si tried the case and was about to convict the three great families, West was still not worried.

Meng Xibai, as the three oldest aristocratic families in the Qin State, what crime can he be executed together?

It means that he has really committed a capital crime, as long as it is not such a serious crime as treason, which touches the bottom line of the first emperor.

Some other capital crimes will eventually become four words, and the crime does not deserve death.

There is a saying in "Book of Rites": Courtesy is not inferior to ordinary people, and punishment is not superior to senior officials.

The Zhou Dynasty, which ruled the country with rites, divided people into ten categories, and this sentence has been implemented for 800 years.

Opposing Confucianism, thinking that Confucianism persecutes Lai Lai is useless except to harm the country, and the legalist giant Shang Yang who should all be driven away proposed to rule the country by law.

"Historical Records Biography of Shang Jun" has a saying: The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people.

At first glance, this should be considered progress.

In fact, this sentence is meant to be heard by ignorant common people, which is a piece of bullshit.

The formal judicial process is to break the law, to be convicted, and to be punished for the crimes committed—the head of the owl, imprisonment, and quartering.

This sentence from the "Biography of Shang Jun" only goes to the conviction, and does not mention the follow-up punishment. This is a rogue.

Qin law stipulates that if you throw ashes on the road, you must chop your hands.

The common people spread ashes, and the crime of raising ashes was punished by chopping their hands.

The aristocrats are guilty of raising ashes, and the punishment is unknown.

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

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao set the rules when marching, whoever's horse stepped on the crops in the field would be beheaded, and then his horse trampled on the crops in the field.

Cao Cao said that although I am your master, the rules are set by me and I cannot violate them.

Lord Mengde cut off a few strands of hair, and said with a murderous expression on his face that his body, hair, skin and skin were all from his parents, and his hair was similar to his head, so I will cut off my hair to replace the head.

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

King Huiwen of Qin killed someone when he was a prince, and his uncle took it on his behalf. He was tortured and had his nose cut off.

That was Qian Long staring there, it was the political game between him and Shang Yang, and it was the result of the struggle between old and new forces.

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

Even with Qianlong staring at him like this, the prince would be executed according to the law of Qin, so wouldn't he be executed?
It is absurd to replace the death penalty with the punishment of punishment on behalf of the teacher. Isn't this the legal top package of Qin State?

That's why Qianlong was watching, and he had to cut off the nose of a powerful man.

If the prince's murder in the downtown area was known to the public, Shang Yang wouldn't have to be so troublesome.

Randomly find a prisoner on death row and say that Mr. Wang killed him, which is not only outraged by the common people, but also upholds the justice of Qin Law.

Under the policy of ignorance, most of the people in Qin State were ignorant.Not only will he not feel fooled, but he will also thank Shang Yang.

That's what the West thinks, and it's also the mainstream idea of ​​this era, regardless of common people or nobles.

Things are indeed proceeding according to Western ideas. Witnesses dare not continue to testify for fear of being retaliated.

Not only did none of the three Mengxibai families receive criminal sanctions, they didn't even get to the point of conviction. This is the norm.

Just as Xixi was a little bored waiting, he stood still and began to close his eyes to meditate, waiting for the farce to end, when his name was called.

Opening his eyes, Xixi and four other people whose names were called entered the stage, ready to make a cutscene.

Before it was time for a cup of tea, the three people who went through the scene before him were all convicted by Li Si, and their heads were beheaded after working overtime.

Although these charges are true, this is not normal. Nobles like them who come from a big family should not be convicted like this.

Xixi wiped the blood stained on his cheeks a few times with his hands spattered with the blood of the three families.

On the western touch, drops of blood were wiped from the face.

In the real scene, the blood on Xixi's face changed from a line to a face, and the face that was originally Mr. Qian Qian's face was wiped like a ghost.

After listening to Li Si's narration of crimes and witness testimony in a daze, he stared at the evidence on the table in front of Li Si with unfocused eyes.

"The west."

Li Si lowered his head, not looking at Xi Xi's hideous face.

"What else do you have to say?"

Complaints, self-certification, this is the treatment that the previous three children from the three major families who were headed by the lords did not receive.

Xixi smiled bitterly.

The viscous dried blood was pulled, which made Xixi's face feel strange.

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

"Did Prime Minister Zuo ask His Majesty about this interrogation?"

"...Never."

"Never?"

"Law the law impartially, act according to the laws of Qin, why bother His Majesty."

"It's meaningless for Prime Minister Zuo to talk like that."

"Li Siben is just a boring person."

"Ha ha."

West put down his hands, bathed in the mild sunlight, took a deep breath, and smiled brightly.

"Brother Li, Fang doesn't want to die in a daze, let Fang be a fool."

Slaves are not as good as merchants, merchants are not as good as farmers, and farmers are not as good as nobles.

Qin Law never cared about the nobles, but the inferiors who were not as good as the nobles.

Apart from the nobles, those who can sanction the nobles are those who are higher than the nobles.

The West originally thought that the person who could force Li Si to exterminate the three great families was the First Emperor.

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

Unexpectedly, he learned from Li Si that Emperor Shi Huang did not do it, which surprised the West.

The noisy three families gradually quieted down. As the children of the aristocratic family, they may be dudes or incompetent, but they are definitely not pure idiots.

They have not accepted their fate, as the West has done.

But they, like the West, want to know the reasons for all this.

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

Only by knowing where the root of the problem is, can we find a way to solve it.

It was Qin Lv who convicted them.

The weapon that killed them was Qin Jian.

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

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

A few years ago, that down-and-out Chu man from Jixia Academy in Qi State bought gifts that even the housekeeper in Wenxinhou Lu Buwei's family looked down upon.

But he was picked up by a direct descendant who was born in an aristocratic family, and said with a smile that he would be wronged for a while if he wanted to come to my sect. If you are really talented, I will take you with me next time I see Marquis Wen Xin.

At that time, the Chu people were arguing among the students in the Jixia Academy, and they were at the most arrogant time, so they would not respond.

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

After that, the Chu people met the family for the second time, and it was at Wenxinhou's mansion.

Marquis Wenxin Lu Buwei invited the sons of the aristocratic family into the mansion for a banquet, called out Li Si, and told the people of Chu that if nephew Fang hadn't told the old man what you said in the wine shop, the old man would not have noticed you.

"Steve already said that."

Li Si responded abruptly.

"Yes, Lord Chang'an?"

Western eyes flickered, revealing disbelief.

Although the dispute between Ying Chengxi and the family continued, he even killed a Bao Beringzhi.

The West knew that Ying Chengxun was extremely daring, but he didn't know that Ying Chengxun was so daring.

Even though Li Si said at the beginning that he was following the order of Lord Chang'an, the West never believed it and thought it was just the first emperor's rhetoric.

Li Si shouldn't be silent, this is the default.

"Brother Li!"

The West was emotional and took a step forward suddenly.

The Qin swords at the waists of the government soldiers on both sides were out of their sheaths, and the two swords intersected to form a cross and blocked in front of Xixi.

"Stop!"

Xixi suddenly came to his senses, took a step back hastily, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Left Prime Minister! I am the order of Yongxiang, and you need His Majesty's consent to kill me!"

Hearing that it was Ying Chengxuan's order, a raging fire called hope ignited in Xifang's heart.

To convict and punish a Yongxiang order with an annual salary of one thousand shi, in fact, the first emperor did not need to come forward. Only officials with an annual salary of two thousand shi would require the approval of the first emperor.

The West's words were to give Li Si the name of reporting to the First Emperor.

As the order of Yongxiang, Xixi can be regarded as half a man in the palace, and the number of times he met the first emperor was not infrequent.

No one knows what promises or words the first emperor made to him.

His Majesty didn't know, it was all done by that Zhuzi, as long as His Majesty knew, he would definitely not allow it!
"Si has never heard of this law."

Li Si raised his head when he heard a heavy thud, and looked at him kneeling on the ground in a state of embarrassment in front of him, in Xianyang's well-known west.

A look of pleading appeared on Xixi's face.

Li Si said coldly: "Si has been interrogating here for so long, and he is very tired. I don't have time to talk to you. What else do you have to say!"

Li Si bit the accent on the word "so long", Xixi was stunned for a moment, and his expression turned to despair.

Yeah, it's been so long.

His Majesty must have known about such a major event in Xianyang.

The imperial edict has not arrived for such a long time, His Majesty's intention is very clear.

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

With his mind, if he wasn't frightened by life and death, he should have figured this out long ago.

"Left phase."

West lowered his head and his voice was low.

"Ying Chengyu, is he the emperor?"

Li Si's expression changed.

"Today he, Ying Chengxi, can kill me, and tomorrow he can kill you, and kill all the princes in the court."

Xixi raised his head, and the face that should have been a modest gentleman was truly bloody and ferocious, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

He shouted with all his strength, "Today's West! It's tomorrow's princes!"

"Xiaoshou, execute immediately!"

Li Si roared angrily.

The soldiers closest to the west swung the Qin sword and chopped off the head of the west.

"Fang Zilai!"

With a roar, Xixi sideways dodged the Fubing's sword, and leaned close to the Fubing's wrist with a palm.

The Fubing's wrist went numb and he lost consciousness, and Qin Jian dropped from his hand.

Xixi elbowed the Fubing on the chest to repel the Fubing for five steps, and stretched out his foot to kick the hilt of the lost Qin sword.

Qin Jian bounced up under the force, and Xifang quickly grabbed the hilt with his eyes and hands.

On all four sides, there were five other government soldiers either wielding their swords or stabbing their swords to attack the west.

"roll!"

With a loud roar, Xixi waved his Qin sword to block it with all his might.

"How can nobles die under the laws of Qin! I committed suicide!"

Shining Qin Jian wiped across the neck, cut through the throat and separated the artery.

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

The warm blood carried the host's resentment, released the resentment in the warm sunshine, and the owner collapsed to the ground,

West died.

The children of Meng Xibai's family became noisy again, screaming and roaring.

"Is that Zhuzi the emperor?

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

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

"Master Zuoxiang, aren't you afraid that you will be the one to shed blood here tomorrow?"

"Which of the princes of Yan and Yan can stay out of the matter, they are all meat on the chopping block!"

Li Si's face was ugly.

He was not instigated by these people, and as the head of Confucianism and Legalism, he would not be confused by these few words.

But he couldn't be indifferent to these words, and just ignored them.

Li Si knew very well that the relationship between Ying Chengyu and Shi Huangdi was very good, which was very unusual.

He was once beaten into a pig's head for provoking the relationship between the two, he once heard the first emperor say that Cheng Yu would not betray, and he once saw with his own eyes the piece of jade that can represent the identity of Qin Jun and has the same origin as the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

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

But whether the relationship between the two can surpass the throne that symbolizes absolute power, Li Si is not sure.

Even if the First Emperor brought Ying Chengxue up to the high platform during the wax sacrifice, and personally created momentum for Ying Chengxun, it seemed that he wanted Ying Chengxue to inherit the throne.

But before Ying Chengxuan officially succeeded to the throne, the first emperor was still sitting on the throne.

At this time, is it appropriate for Ying Chengxi to exercise the monarchy as a minister and kill the three great families?

Li Si didn't know, but he tended that Emperor Shi Huang wouldn't care about it.

Whether it was Lu Buwei's entry into the Prime Minister's Mansion, or Ying Chengxun's retirement in Xianyang Prison, it all showed that Emperor Shihuang had a high degree of trust in Ying Chengxun, so he did not report it.

In order to avoid the displeasure of Ying Chengxu because of not carrying out the order to report to the first emperor, and because of disloyalty to Ying Chengxu, the displeasure of both sides.

But Li Si was also clear that the First Emperor would not issue such an order to destroy the Sanjiamanmen.

I don't know what the first emperor wanted, if Ying Chengxun did this, the first emperor would not allow it.

If Li Si killed someone first, wouldn't that violate the wishes of the first emperor?

Thoughtful, Li Si quickly thought of a solution. He extended the interrogation time and waited for Emperor Shi Huang to give instructions.

If the first emperor didn't send an imperial edict, it meant acquiescing, and Li Si killed him with confidence.

If the situation continues to develop without accident, Li Si's actions will be as perfect as a textbook.

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

After the West learned that it was Ying Chengxiu who was causing trouble, he dismissed the fact that the monarchy had been desecrated, accusing Ying Chengxiu of being too powerful, and doing so would force the monarchy back.

He also used words to pull the court officials and Meng Xibai's family into a trench.

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

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

From the first emperor to the small officials, everyone will know about it.

Li Si didn't know what Emperor Shi Huang's attitude was like at that time.

And if the first emperor was furious, even if he didn't blame Ying Chengxu in his heart, he was just pretending to be furious to safeguard the monarchy under the pressure of his officials.

Then as a result of the invasion of the monarchy and the arrest and killing of the three families, the three families must be rehabilitated. This is politics.

The opposite of a good person must be a bad person, and if it is found that a good person is secretly murdering and arsonating, committing all kinds of crimes, heinous crimes, and want to kill the "good person".

Then it is necessary to label the bad guy who has been opposed to the "good guy" as a good guy, regardless of whether the bad guy is a good guy or not.

This is the quickest and easiest way to kill "good guys" in a reasonable way.

The West used his body to die, and for the three Mengxi and Bai families, he blazed such a path.

"Put these people in custody on the spot, and kill those who act recklessly!"

Li Si said with a dark face.

Before the first emperor knew what Xi said before his death, Li Si would not kill any of the three families.

The room fell silent, and the members of the three families breathed a sigh of relief, showing gratitude to Xi Xi who was lying in a pool of blood.

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

If there is no West, he should be being read out by Li Si right now, waiting to die in despair.

After the three families of Meng Xibai were settled, Li Si asked someone to collect the four corpses on the ground and send them to Xianyang Prison.

……

Inside Xianyang Prison.

The three masters were a little tired from scolding, and Nephew Gan Xian behind him couldn't keep turning a blind eye.

The three ignored Ying Chengxu at the door of the cell, and turned around, as if they had just seen Gan Luo.

He greeted Gan Luo for a while, and once again criticized Ying Chengxun's insidiousness in front of Gan Luo, and swore that he would rescue Gan Luo.

Gan Luo grabbed his messy hair and persuaded: "The three uncles should be more concerned about themselves."

Since the jailer left just now, Gan Luo's ominous premonition has become stronger and stronger.

If Ying Chengxi's words were nonsense, they would be exposed in an instant and fall into power for nothing.

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

The three masters thought that Gan Luo was mocking the three of them after they were arrested in Xianyang Prison, they didn't want to rescue them, but thought of taking the opportunity to seize power and deserved to be arrested by Ying Chengyu in Xianyang Prison.

The three of them judge others by themselves, and feel resentful and sarcastic when they feel that they are in different positions.

After exchanging glances, the eagerness and anxiety on their faces faded away.

Bai Fei sat beside Gan Luo and said calmly: "Nephew, if you are in our situation, what you do will be no different from us."

Meng Jiakun snorted coldly with a cold face.

"In the past, Qianlong used tricks to lead my three great families to oppose Wei Yang, and the surging river was soaked in the blood of our ancestors. The Gan family took the opportunity to become the head of the family. Although it was only a few years of glory, it is true. Forget it? Your Gan family took advantage of others’ danger first, but my nephew can’t blame me for following suit.”

Xi Shu's eyes flickered strangely, and he sat on the ground.

"I can understand my nephew's resentment, how about this, when I get out of Xianyang Prison, can my three families share the method of training concubines with my nephew?

"Of course, my nephew will also tell me the three families, the way to connect families from all over the world. Although my nephew's income is much more than my three families, but he has always done business with the world.

"My three families were only working in Guanzhong, and never sold concubines to the six kingdoms. Now that the world is pre-determined and prosperity is gradually rising, where in the land of Qi, Chu, Yanzhao does not like beautiful people?

"If it weren't for the fact that my three families were unable to train such a large number of concubines, how could I have found my nephew? My nephew suffered a small loss in prison, and my three families lost a cornucopia. Is there enough sincerity?"

Gan Luochu was still listening to the words of the three of them, when Xi Shu was halfway through speaking, he looked at the prison door, and immediately froze.

He reached out with one hand and knocked on the shackle on Xi Shu's neck, signaling Xi Shu, whose back was facing the prison door, to turn around.

With the other hand, he greeted Bai Fei who was focusing on himself, and Meng Jiakun focused on the prison door.

"Three uncles, is that from your three families?"

The three of them said don't listen to that scorpion farting, and didn't bother to look back.

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

"Find a few death row inmates to kill, and you want to scare me? When I was your 12-year-old child, you would be scared to cry?!"

Xi Shu ran over in small steps, kicked a head away, and looked at the white brains smashed by the head on the cell wall, and smiled morbidly.

Meng Xibai's three great aristocratic families have a large number of people. Meng Jiakun, Bai Fei, and Xi Shu are the patriarchs, and the direct descendants of their own family line may be able to recognize them roughly.

But for the collateral families that occupy the majority, the three masters can only remember the outstanding children among them.

This is normal.

Most people in modern times don't have such a huge family, and how many people can know all relatives?
It is common for distant relatives not to know each other, not to mention that the three major families of Mengxi and Bai each have hundreds of people.

"Uncle Shu, I told you a long time ago that you are sick. Your anti-social personality needs to be cured, or you will die if you don't."

Ying Chengxun squinted his eyes, and there was a sharp aura in the two gaps, and the iron-like condensation was on those handsome faces.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know these few, it doesn't matter, you will always kill people you know. At the beginning, I cried and begged you to stop, but you smiled grimly and said that these lowly servant girls are not enough to accomplish anything, and death is not a pity, and it is not worth crying.

"After so many years, I thought I had long forgotten the appearance of those poor women, and your anti-human laughter. When I heard you laugh today, it was exactly the same as back then, and I knew that I never forgot."

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

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

"only."

Ying Chengxun stared at Xi Shu's grinning, twisted mouth.

"Uncle Shu, I beg you one more thing, Cheng Yu."

Peng Peng~

Xi Shu kicked the two heads away with both feet, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the heads hitting the wall, with a happy expression on his face.

"What are you asking for? Begging me to kick your head like a ball? Quickly put your head under my feet, hahahaha!"

Ying Chengxi paused every word.

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