Chapter 25 The crowd is furious! Beheading for public display
At the largest square in Xianyang City, tens of thousands of people in the city were listening to the newly appointed court captain Feng Tuo read out the king's call aloud.
After reading it, all the people suddenly realized and understood the general situation of the matter. It turned out that it was a group of rebellious officials and traitors like Zhao Gao who threatened the King of Qin, disobeyed the king's orders, and betrayed the country for glory...
Suddenly, the tens of thousands of people below were furious. Under the leadership of a few irrational leaders, countless people rushed towards the nearly a thousand guilty ministers behind Feng Tuo with great anger.
Feng Tuo had never seen such a scene before, his face changed drastically and he ordered: "Generals, listen to the order and prevent the crowd from approaching the death row prisoners!"
"Here!"
I saw nearly two thousand lightly armored Qin soldiers walking out from both sides of the square, holding spears, and quickly formed a long line of defense in front of Feng Tuo, blocking all routes of the crowd.
Under the continuous superposition of Qin soldiers, a total of three layers of Qin soldiers were in front, successfully stopping the crowd's momentum.
"It is not a pity to die for the great traitor Qin!"
"All the nine tribes! All the nine tribes!..."
"Death by a thousand cuts!..."
"Rebellious ministers and traitors!..."
"Unless the Qin thieves die, the Qin Dynasty will never see the light of day!...."
.......
Feng Tuo looked at the crowd of people who were getting more and more angry, and was afraid that if this continued, the situation would soon get out of control.
I saw Feng Tuo finding a carriage, standing on the carriage, and shouted loudly: "Okay!"
"The king has issued an order to personally read out the guilt of the judges in front of the public. Today, they will all be beheaded in public to serve as a warning to others!"
After saying this, the people below finally calmed down a bit, stopped attacking the Qin soldiers' defense line, and listened quietly to what Tingwei Feng Tuo said.
Seeing that the crowd had become quieter, Feng Tuo quickly ordered someone to bring two carts of bamboo scrolls.
After rummaging for a while, they began to declare their crimes from the former Prime Minister Dong Lege and other first culprits...
And the more the people below heard about it, the more they broke out in cold sweats. Is this... is this still something humans do?
How much worse is such an act than the number one traitor, Zhao Gao?
After Feng Tuo read out the evidence of the crimes of dozens of people including Dong Lege, Meng Cheng, Yan Shiping, Guo Yangtai, Fan Yi, etc.
The people of Xianyang City have slowly turned from the initial resentment and shock to numbness... If Dong Lege's behavior is followed, I am afraid that Qin will be handed over to the six kingdoms of Guandong in the near future.
Thinking about it carefully, if that day comes, no one in Guanzhong will be immune to disaster. If Liu Bang and Xiang Yu really lead tigers and wolves to massacre Xianyang, but Da Qin does nothing and surrenders in search of glory...
I'm afraid that I will be laughed at and scolded by future generations for eternity. They are just a bunch of brainless weaklings and stupid pigs!
However, from Feng Tuo's words, the people gradually gained a deeper understanding of Qin III, who had just obtained the king's power.
Everyone in Xianyang City now knows that when the third son of Qin Ying just took office as King of Qin, he used a trick to kill Zhao Gao.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, Qin III once again powerfully overthrew the Xianyang Dong family through a series of secret operations without any foundation...
You must know that the Dong family controls the temples and almost all military affairs of the Qin Dynasty. Their power is overwhelming, and they are no less powerful than Zhao Gao back then.
The people of Xianyang were thinking, how did Ying Ziying do it? Is there really a destiny?
Everyone was puzzled because this was almost impossible to accomplish overnight. It was like a mouse facing an elephant. The gap was so huge. How could the mouse win?
Thinking of this, everyone became more and more curious about the unpredictable and fierce Qin III... and more importantly, they expressed their sincere admiration for the new King of Qin...
Help the building to fall, and turn the tide before it falls! Such a wise and powerful hero is probably no less powerful than Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng
Before, all the people in Guanzhong were not optimistic that Da Qin could stop the six kingdoms of Guandong. But after today, no one dares to have such an idea.
Even powerful officials like Zhao Gao and Dong Lege could be successfully killed. What else could they not do?
Suddenly, a long-lost sense of pride arose in the hearts of the old Qin people in Xianyang City. It was an honor unique to being a member of the Qin Dynasty...
...
Feng Tuo stood on the carriage and took over the scrolls of bamboo slips of the criminal records. He read them until the sun went down, and only closed the last bamboo slips at 1 hour.
And every time someone's crime is read out, the executioner below will escort out the guilty minister. The knife will be raised and the head will roll...
Except for the leading traitors who were sentenced to languishing, all the other criminals were beheaded in public display. The blood dyed the open space red and slowly flowed to the feet of the people.
At a glance, the square was filled with human heads and headless corpses.
Many people couldn't stand it anymore and went back home away from the crowd...but people still came to fill the vacancies to satisfy their curiosity.
By the end, many people could not control their physical discomfort. Stimulated by the strong smell of blood, a large number of people began to vomit...
Dong Lege and several other giant thieves, however, screamed in agony and pain until it was nearing the hour of Unity, and they finally died.
But the knife in the executioner's hand did not stop. Even if the victim died, he still had to cut off the unfinished meat piece by piece.
...At this time, the leading thieves were like long-dead rotting corpses. They were not human-like at all, with a large number of bones exposed, giving them the appearance of skeletons.
Not only did the people of Xianyang feel uncomfortable and dissipated in fear, but even the court captain Feng Tuo and all the Qin soldiers on the scene looked pale and their stomachs were churning...
When it gets completely dark, after the last person is beheaded
Feng Tuo opened his eyes with a numb mind and ordered the Qin soldiers to clean up the execution place and let the relatives of the guilty ministers who were not involved in their family members claim the bodies.
Hundreds of corpses of the Dong clan who were executed by the Nine Tribes were thrown into carriages and dragged to the outside of the city to dig pits and bury them.
A prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, who only reigned for more than ten days, was executed by the third generation of the Qin Dynasty. It will definitely be a highlight in the history books in the future, serving as a warning to future generations...
...
In Xianyang Palace's "Qunxian Hall", Qin III, Ying Jingyu and others have received the latest news.
A total of more than 900 criminal officials and their family members had been beheaded in public. King Qin and Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, as if a huge stone weighing on their hearts had finally been lifted away, making them feel relieved.
Only then did Ying Jingyu fully understand that the historical Qin III surrendered to Liu Bang after 46 days in power, and then surrendered again to Xiang Yu more than a month later...
This traitorous move was not Ying Ziying's real idea, but was hijacked by Dong Lege, a group of Qin traitors and rebellious officials, and was forced to betray Qin.
But history is very fair. After doing something that was outraged by both humans and gods, Xiang Yu also killed this traitor after entering Xianyang, and did not forgive him even if he surrendered.
Regardless of past and present lives...their final outcome is the same.
However, the only difference is the variable of the time traveler Ying Jingyu.
Ying Jingyu's face was firm at this time, his eyes were sharp and full of confidence, he looked through the palace door to the distant east, and murmured in his mouth:
"Since God allowed me, the king of soldiers in my previous life, to be reborn in the last days of the Qin Dynasty, I would be sorry to God if I didn't change the outcome."
"Hmph! Be it a god or a ghost, or Liu Xiang, I already have great power. Anyone who dares to block Da Qin's footsteps will definitely make them regret meeting an opponent like me!"
