Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

In the former Sikou Mansion of the Wei Kingdom, Yang Ming, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, set up the Chinese army's tent here after entering the city.

Under his command, there were dozens of literate people selected from Diqiu City, who worked day and night to compile various prison books from the thirty years of Weiguo.

In Weiguo, if he wants to support a force that is truly loyal to him, he will naturally have to provide enough benefits, and these benefits do not come out of thin air, and will eventually fall on the dignitaries of Diqiu City.

But even if you kill people, you must do it with a well-known name and legal basis. Otherwise, it will only cause endless troubles. Killing is not as simple as just using weapons.

When the orders from the Central Army of the Qin Army appeared behind the closed gates of Diqiu City, the people who had once made waves in this city walked out of their homes with various moods and came towards Sikou Mansion.

What awaits them?

After Ji Yuan came to power, the Sikou Mansion, which had been dormant for many years, once again resumed its former functions.

When the dignitaries of Diqiu City came to the main hall of Sikou Mansion one by one, they found that they still had seats, which made them let go. Since the Qin Army General could prepare seats for them, it should not be difficult. Speaker.

While everyone was waiting, they found that the seats on the left and right sides were empty, but as time passed, Gongsun Yu's figure appeared in their sight, and then their former monarch Ji Yuan, but at this time Ji Yuan no longer has the majesty he once had, and is only filled with fear and uneasiness.

The situation seemed not to be right. As Kong Qi's figure appeared in the hall, everyone had a vague premonition of ominousness. When Yang Ming walked into the hall, the atmosphere in the entire hall condensed, and everyone could not even breathe. Hold your breath, the person in front of you is the person who can decide their life or death.

Kong Qi, under the gaze of everyone, the Avenger took out a scroll of bamboo slips and read aloud. As the notes appeared in everyone's ears, everyone understood Yang Ming's true purpose.

It turned out to be for the purpose of killing people. For a moment, everyone began to feel uneasy. This kind of feeling of killing people for the sake of fish and meat was not good, especially because no one knew when the butcher's knife would fall on them. That would be the real fall. On oneself.

"Ji Yuan, the late emperor was invited by you and was bewitched by the people around him, so he went to Daliang and was later imprisoned and died. Is this true?" Kong Qi asked Ji Yuan .

"Yes." Ji Yuan said lifelessly. He already knew the outcome, it was just a formality.

"Did you collude with King Wei to set up this poisonous plan?" Kong Qi asked.

"Right." Although Ji Yuan did not dare to resist, his will to cooperate was also very limited.

"Did the people in the country who deceived the late emperor to go to Weiguo collude with you, Ji Yuan?" Kong Qi asked again.

"Yes." Ji Yuan was hopeless at this time. He already knew what happened today. Everything was just to avoid death.

"Who are these people?" Kong Qi asked.

"Who is there?" Ji Yuan pondered and looked at everyone in the hall.

As Ji Yuan's eyes turned, everyone in the hall held their breath subconsciously. They had already realized that this was really going to kill some of them, but who would it be? Who? Is it the unlucky person, or in other words, who is the lucky person who can save a life?

"Ji Qiu." Ji Yuan's eyes stopped on the face of a middle-aged fat man.

"Jun..., Ji Yuan, you are so slanderous." Ji Qiu said repeatedly after being named by Ji Yuan.

Then there was a loud thud, and he rolled down from his seat and knelt down in the middle of the hall. But before he could speak, Yang Ming, the owner who had been silent since entering the hall, said his first words: "Hang it." Go down."

"General Zuo, I was wronged..." Ji Qiu wanted to defend, but was already gagged and dragged away by the soldiers who walked in.

"Ji Yuan, there can't be only one person working with you," Kong Qi said.

"Yes, there is more than one, and there is Fan Yang." Ji Yuan reported a name again.

"I..." With a pop, the person whose name was called had fallen to the ground and fainted, but he was still dragged away. Fainting was too fake. Only by really dying can we get the real thing. Be practical.

As Ji Yuan called out names one by one, one after another people were dragged out by the soldiers while crying and wailing.

"Who else?" Kong Qi asked.

"And Wei Zhao." Ji Yuan looked at an old man sitting next to Gongsun Yu in the hall. Anyway, Yang Ming's real purpose was just to kill people. He was powerless to change and couldn't change his own destiny. He might as well do it before he died. Take people with whom you usually have a very good relationship and those with whom you have a very bad relationship and go on the road together.

If people with good relationships died, they would be alive and well, so bad. People with bad relationships would naturally be buried with them. In Ji Yuan's heart, he just wanted to be so simple and unpretentious.

"Alas." With a long sigh, the old man Wei Zhao, whose name was called, stood up on his own, flicked his long sleeves, and took the initiative to walk out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

Yang Ming looked at Wei Zhao's leaving figure, waved away the soldiers trying to drag him away, and allowed him to walk out of the hall on his own.

"Next one." Kong Qi said.

"Gongsun Yu." Ji Yuan's eyes actually fell on Gongsun Yu.

At that moment, all the hairs on Gongsun Yu's body stood up. He was not afraid of death, but what happened in front of him was no longer as simple as death. Once he was found guilty of colluding with outsiders and plotting against his country's king, The crime was really going to be infamy for eternity.

Yang Ming's eyes flashed across Gongsun Yu's face. Sure enough, this swordsman master who dared to fight without changing his expression before tens of thousands of Qin troops had now changed his expression.

After all, people still have things they are afraid of, and they cannot be without weaknesses. Yang Ming thought to himself.

"I'm asking you to identify me. I'm not asking you to talk nonsense. Let's stop here." In the hall where you could almost hear the needle drop, Yang Ming spoke.

Hearing Yang Ming's words, Gongsun Yu suddenly felt a sense of relief. For a moment, he unexpectedly felt a sense of gratitude.

At that moment, he was actually grateful to Yang Ming, the enemy who had conquered the Wei Kingdom, killed its citizens, seriously injured him, and threatened him with his relatives and friends.

Yang Ming looked around at the few people left in the hall and said in a clear voice: "The case of the late King Wei will be tried in public according to the rules of the early Zhou Dynasty. In addition to the case of the late King Wei, there are also questions Did those people do anything illegal? There are quite a lot of cases in the Si Kou Mansion."

"yes."

"promise."

"Don't worry, General Zuo."

The voice of loyalty is heard all the time.

After sending everyone back, Yang Ming left only one person: Gongsun Yu.

While Yang Ming was flipping through the bamboo slips, Gongsun Yu looked at Yang Ming. For a moment, it was difficult for him to connect the Yang Ming in front of him with the Yang Ming before him.

On the battlefield, Yang Ming was brave and fearless. He used his own body to take advantage of the power of thousands of troops to confront him head-on. He, who had only been defeated once more than thirty years ago, once again experienced the feeling of defeat. .

His direct disciple Jing Ke was a man of extraordinary talent. He believed that even compared with the contemporary Guigu disciples, although Jing Ke was not good at strategy, in terms of swordsmanship, Jing Ke was not inferior to any of his peers. In front of Yang Ming, he was too far behind.

Even if Yang Ming was able to defeat him, he won because of strategy and traded his minor injuries for Gongsun Yu's serious injuries. But a defeat is a defeat. There are not so many reasons, especially when Yang Ming can pay the price of minor injuries. Injuring him severely has proven Yang Ming's strength.

Just now, Yang Ming was sitting on the main seat, looking at everyone in the hall indifferently. Every time he opened his mouth, someone would be led to the door of death. He was so decisive in killing and treating human life as nothing, even Gongsun. Yu also felt chilled.

But just now, Yang Ming, who had reduced the fate of countless people to dust, was still leisurely reading the bamboo slips.

"Senior Gongsun, would you like to come with me to meet someone." Yang Ming put away the bamboo slips, stood up and said to Gongsun Yu.

"I'm afraid no one in this Diqiu City can go against General Yang's will, right?" Although Gongsun Yu knew what his attitude should be now, he still couldn't control his ridicule when he said it.

"Since Senior Gongsun has such an understanding, it's better. It saves me the excuse." Yang Ming smiled faintly and walked out of the hall.

After turning around the corridors of Sikou Mansion, Gongsun Yu discovered that Yang Ming's destination was actually the death row of Sikou Mansion.

No death row in the world is a good place. Dirty and despair are the only characteristics of this place, and the same is true for the death row in front of you.

Gongsun Yu followed Yang Ming in confusion. He didn't know why Yang Ming came here. He just filled the death row with his own hands.

With the sound of the cell door being opened, Gongsun Yu saw an old man sleeping peacefully in the thatch. This man was no stranger to him, it was Wei Zhao.

Hearing the noise, Wei Zhao opened his eyes, glanced at Yang Ming, and then closed his eyes. Yang Ming did not hesitate and sat down directly on death row.

What is he going to do? Gongsun Yu was a little confused and couldn't find a suitable reason for Yang Ming's inexplicable behavior.

"Is it possible that General Yang is preparing to send me on my way in person?" Under Yang Ming's gaze, Wei Zhao still had trouble calming down. At the same time, he also had doubts in his heart, wondering why Yang Ming was here.

"I know you are not afraid of death." Yang Ming said.

"Thank you." Wei Zhao said as he sat up.

"However, death is an easy thing, but living is a harder thing."

Yang Ming sighed as he spoke: "A head can be easily chopped off with a gentle wave of the weapon in your hand, but what happens after that? A living life is gone."

"I didn't expect that a military man like General Yang, a legalist, would have such a compassionate side." Wei Zhao said, with a sarcastic look on his face.
