Although the people didn't know why the slave wanted to speak for Chang Qiyu, it was just to let someone go, and it was not their son that Chang Qiyu killed.

The more the people begged, the less likely the emperor would let him go. Even at noon, he went to the dungeon again and had Chang Qiyu arrested and whipped himself!

This may be the first time Chang Qiyu was whipped. He remained silent throughout the whole process and refused to admit any collusion between himself and the slaves, nor did he admit that he was involved in Chang Qiye's death.

Soon, the sun began to set.

The slaves still remain motionless, which has seriously affected the interests of many big nobles. They move in and out of goods every day, transport goods and deliver goods, and they are inseparable from slaves in all aspects.

If they strike like this for a day, how much will they lose? Those are all free money!

Even if they beat them, they can't do anything if the slaves don't work. Slaves are also their important property, so they can't beat people to death, right? If the blow is too severe, it will delay work and cost money for medical treatment. What should I do?

Therefore, more and more slave owners are asking the emperor to release their slaves. If the murder method is full of loopholes, it is a frame-up at first glance. What else is there to investigate?

It was indeed a very crude method. At this time, the emperor also received news that the palace servant who had taken care of the Chief Qi Yu's giant sword had committed suicide. It was obvious that he was ordered by others.

But will the emperor believe it? All the slaves in the city were pleading for Chang Qiyu. Fortunately, he used to think that Chang Qiyu had the worst relationship with the slaves, so there were always slaves trying to assassinate him. Now it seems that it is all fake!

So what else is true?

The next day, the slaves were still on strike.

At this time, it was not just the slave owners who couldn't sit still, but also the nobles. But this time, they and the emperor were on the same front.

Although they love money, they value power more. Now that a person with such a strong influence among slaves appears in the capital, how can they sit still?

So even though the slaves went on strike, causing them huge losses, they still focused on suppression and supported the emperor not to release them.

At this moment, soldiers and horses from Bocheng also arrived. After their arrival, they brought absolute confidence to the emperor, and he would not let him go!

Not only did he not let him go, he also felt that the situation in front of him might be a good thing.

The slave is obviously loyal to Chang Qi Yu, and has long been disloyal. If such a slave is kept, he will cause serious trouble one day. It is better to take this opportunity to catch them all and send them all away to feel at ease!

Just considering that there are 300,000 slaves in the capital, what if they don’t want to leave and rebel?

Even if they have no weapons and cannot compete with well-equipped soldiers, they will still be a little worried.

At this time, someone was giving advice in the emperor's ear.

"Your Majesty, since the slave is interceding for Chang Qiyu, why not tie him up and parade him through the streets, then hang him at the palace gate and whip him in public.

At the same time, the returning soldiers were allowed to rest for a day, and when they decided to capture the slaves the next day, they would behead Chang Qi Yu in public!

By then, the slaves will definitely lose their morale and feel desperate. If you send troops to arrest them, they will not resist. "

What a great idea!

In marching and fighting, what is most important? That's morale! Military morale!

First suppress the opponent's morale, and then use force to suppress it. It will be absolutely foolproof!

The emperor's decision was also agreed by the great lords. It can be seen that this slave strike is just a temporary anger, because many slaves are willing to move today, but most of them are still insisting.

Presumably, as long as they kill Chang Qiyu, their expectations will be disappointed, and they will feel despair and settle down again.

However, after this battle, the big lords no longer wanted them, so it was better to send them all away in exchange for a batch to save trouble.

Just when Chang Qiyu was kidnapped and taken to the prison van, some strange rumors gradually began to appear in the capital.

Most ordinary people don't have slaves in their hands. They can at most hire slaves to do some work. But if the slaves go on strike, they can do it themselves, but they will be a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, although they were concerned about the slave strike, most of them still watched.

Then someone told them.

Someone discovered a gold mine on Xunwu Mountain, the nearest mountain outside the capital!

Many people have found gold in the sand, and many have gone there secretly, and most of them have found gold.

Although the people in the capital seemed to be living well, they were actually short of money, otherwise they would not have joined the army to avoid taxes.

For a while, many people secretly walked out of the city through the west gate, and then missed Chang Qiyu's parade later.

Chang Qiyu may never have thought in his life that he would have such a day. Just when he was about to be escorted out of the palace and paraded through the streets, Xie Linlang suddenly appeared.

Qin Jue persuaded the emperor to let Xie Linlang meet Qi Yu. The emperor agreed, but for some unknown reason, he just had someone monitor the whole process.

After Xie Linlang arrived, he did nothing else but brought a small pot of wine and handed it to Chang Qiyu.

At this time, Chang Qiyu's hands were only in chains and were not stuck in the prison car. He reached out to take the wine bottle, and his exposed arms were covered with whip marks.

Xie Linlang said, "I guess you have been prosperous for half your life and have never experienced anything like a parade, so I will give you a bottle of wine to build up your courage."

When Chang Qiyu heard this, his expression was extremely complicated. His face was now covered with blood and black ash, and his original handsome appearance could not be seen. Only his iconic dark golden eyes stared at Xie Linlang with a heavy look.

"I have indeed never experienced this kind of battle... Well, in the eyes of my father, I can't explain it even though I have a hundred mouths. Those lords also regard me as their enemy, and they probably want to kill me soon.

You'd better leave early and don't, don't get involved with me. "

Xie Linlang shook her head and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I will go back to Daqin soon. I was suffocated in the palace these past two days, so I read a lot of books related to Zeguo.

By the way, have you ever heard of a fairy tale? "

"...What myth?"

"It's the story of Poseidon recorded at the beginning of "Wang Hai Jing".

Legend has it that Poseidon was bound to the abyss. On the first day, his people cried out and begged the abyss to let Poseidon go. On the second day, his people shed blood in exchange for Poseidon. On the third day, his people gathered together to fight at the turn of the sun and moon. At that time, he rushed into the abyss and rescued Poseidon.

That day, more than half of Poseidon's people were killed or injured. "

"Wanghai Jing" is a scripture that is read by all sea countries in the entire sea. It has been widely circulated, and Chang Qiyu has naturally read it.

After briefly speaking, Xie Linlang looked into Chang Qiyu's eyes and asked half-jokingly.

"If one day you become a bound god, will you be afraid?"

Chang Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and finally said with a somewhat conceited chuckle.

"If one day comes, I will be on high and pity the entire battlefield."
