Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

"Okay, you don't need to say anything, this official understands."

Li Jue opened his mouth and knew what he was going to say. For the sake of dignity, he stopped him from continuing.

However, he couldn't help but asked, "I don't understand, you rejected Lu Buwei because you were afraid of being implicated by him. What is the reason for rejecting my Meng family?"

He proudly said: "I don't talk about the first family of Daqin, but at least I won't get involved."

Then he said in surprise: "Could it be that you want to join the Wang family?"

Speaking of which, he frowned.

Li Jue said, "General Wang Li has a grudge against me."

Not from the Wang family?

Ting Weicheng was completely stunned, they were the two most powerful families in Da Qin, and Li Jue didn't even look down on them! ?

"Could it be that you are still planning to sell it?" Ting Weicheng asked in surprise.

Li Jue said: "Your Excellency is joking. I don't have any ambitions, I just want to do my duty. My first-rank strength is enough for me to have a prison in the bureau. In front of you big men, it's not worth mentioning."

Ting Weicheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

It turned out that he was afraid of death.

but.

Don't blame him.

Everyone in the world is afraid of death. An executioner can kill people like numbness, but in fact, he is also afraid of death every day.

It's normal to be afraid of death.

He didn't continue to persuade him, because what Li Jue said also made sense. One rank in the department is enough for a prison. In their big family, although he is considered a backbone, the risk is very high.

To fight head-to-head with other Yipins, sacrifice is easy.

However, he is really optimistic about Li Jue, but Li Jue is greedy for life and fears death, which makes him helpless.

Fortunately, Li Jue works under him, and he has time to let Li Jue recognize the reality and see the strength of their Meng family.

At that time, they will naturally come to seek refuge.

Ting Weicheng didn't have anything to say next, and Li Jue didn't want to say too much to him.

He could behead three people today, and he still intends to hurry up to do things.

When I got up, I said goodbye and got ready to work.

Ting Weicheng hesitated before speaking, and finally said, "Lord Li Ting, can you read and write?"

Li Jue said, "I learned a few baskets of Chinese characters before going down."

Ting Weicheng smiled, "How can you be such a rude scholar? That's all, it's useless to ask you."

Li Jue didn't stop talking, but went back to her office.

Guo Li and Hu Man stepped forward. The two had reached a consensus. They seemed to know that each other was Li Jue's helper and silently worked for Li Jue.

The first brother said, "Lord Ting Li, did Lord Ting Weicheng ask you if you can read?"

Li Jue said, "Why, he also asked you?"

The first brother Guo Wei said: "It is true, and we naturally know some words, but it is impossible to meet his requirements."

Li Jue was stunned for a moment, and said, "What does he ask for?"

Guo Lui was stunned and said, "Could it be that he didn't tell you?"

Seeing Li Jue shaking his head, Guo Wei explained: "Master Meng was embarrassed by Kong Jie leading the Confucian disciples to enter Xianyang."

Then came an explanation of the ins and outs of the matter.

The reason was that Li Jue beheaded the great scholar Xue An. Kong Jie believed that Ying Zheng killed innocent people indiscriminately.

Now Ludi is the territory of Daqin, but the people still refuse to surrender.

In the past few days, news came back one after another, Ying Zheng was extremely angry, and immediately sent people to arrest Confucian scholars everywhere in the city.

Kong Jie was even more angry, and threatened to bring people to Xianyang, seeing that Ying Zheng really treated Confucianism.

Li Jue thought of a word and shuddered.

Then he asked, "What did Mr. Meng say?"

Guo Wei said: "Master Meng said that, His Majesty was very angry. He also ordered that if Kong Jie really brought people here, they would be wiped out and buried in a hole."

Li Jue said in surprise: "Confucianism is now one of the nine masters of the top nine, and it has a wide range of good ties in the world. If Confucianism is involved, not only is Ludi unstable, I am afraid that various schools in Kyushu will wait for the opportunity."

Guo Ling was also shocked and said, "What Li Ting said is exactly the same as what Lord Meng said."

Hu Man said on the side: "Kong Jie has many disciples, and they also have many diners and rangers. What's more, the three religions and nine streams are intertwined. If you really move Kong Jie, it will affect your whole body."

Li Jue said, "Since Mr. Meng knows about this, why didn't he go to Cambodia?"

Guo Wei said: "Master Meng said that someone had already mentioned it, and that the person who was incarcerated by your Majesty in the West City Department was cut down."

Li Jue is quite a pity, why didn't it fall into his own hands.

Then he frowned again, "This is what makes the Lord embarrassed? But what does it have to do with our literacy?"

Guo Lingdao: "When a Confucian giant enters Xianyang, he must first perform rituals and then soldiers. This is what the prime ministers proposed. After all, it is impossible for His Majesty to dig a hole and bury people, and His Majesty would not do this, right? "

Li Jue looked strange.

Guo Wei continued: "So, in order to prevent the Confucian giants from slandering us as barbaric, it's better for us to be official and literate from top to bottom, so we slapped the Confucian giants in the face and told him to retreat."

I see.

Li Jue said, "It's unnecessary."

That is to ignore it, but to choose the prisoner to be executed today.

Guo Wei said, "Lord Ting, why are you so disdainful?"

Li Jue said: "Confucian people are very stubborn, and what they do is actually to seek officials. This matter is not a big deal, but if it is really big, His Majesty can solve it. It doesn't matter whether we small people can read or not."

He looked at Hu Man again, and said, "Your Hu family, didn't you get involved? Tell your relatives and friends, don't join in blindly, or your Majesty will dig a hole and bury it."

Hu Man nodded solemnly. The Hu family is rich and powerful, so there must be people in the three religions and nine classes.

Since Li Jue said it so seriously, she must be right.

It is noon.

Execution stand.

Li Jue picked three prisoners for herself, and each of them was a high-ranking official. It should have been three of them, one for each of them.

However, Guo Ling and Hu Man both listened to him, and such an important task naturally fell on his shoulders.

Three high-ranking officials knelt on the ground, two of them kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, while the other had a straight face.

"A coward, it's just a knife, what are you afraid of?"

"This official is ashamed to be in your company~www.wuxiahere.com~ This person is upright and arrogant.

The other two high-ranking officials were immediately ashamed, and Li Jue beheaded them directly, which naturally allowed Li Jue to take their lives.

They also received rewards. One of them is from the Taoist school, and the other is from the Mo family. They gave Li Jue a copy of the Taoist [Qingxin Jue], which is to be able to clear his mind and not be affected by evil spirits.

Also, Rang of the Mo family has acquired the skill of ingenuity and has stronger hands-on ability. It is estimated that he can make some iron tools and wooden tools by himself.

Obviously, this high-ranking official was not famous in the Mo family, so he couldn't obtain the Mo family's mechanism.

Only a pair of skillful hands.

He doesn't even want a woman, so what does he want with these ingenious hands?

Looking at the last high-ranking official kneeling on the ground, Li Jue already knew the person's name and verified his identity.

This man was magnanimous and arrogant, "Presumptuous, this official is Uncle Wang Shang Niang, you dare to kill me?"

He is the younger brother of Empress Dowager Zhao Ji and the uncle of Ying Zheng. He did not rebel against Concubine, but after the Empress Dowager was imprisoned, he was not convinced, and even brought his own guards into the palace to ask his nephew to reason.

Ying Zheng was so arrogant that he didn't want to wait for the first month, so he sent him directly to the bureau and asked Li Jue to shave the head of this country's uncle.

Uncle Guo didn't know what was wrong, he knelt on the ground, reciting words, and said: "You are an executioner, dare to kill me? I am the uncle of the current state, the king is my nephew, he is just angry, and he will send someone later. let me go."

When Li Jue heard the words, he hurriedly started.

Can't wait for you to be rescued, or who will I kill?

The knife fell in his hand, and the uncle's head fell to the ground.

The yin and yang book of life and death unfolded, and Li Jue also obtained the life of the Queen Mother's younger brother, Ying Zheng's uncle.
