Zhao Xin hadn't expected that after killing so many traitors last time, there would be so many more now. He personally came to the huge cell and met with these guys.
Of course, the situation is different from the last time. Among the guys locked up in the cells this time, a large number of them look like successful people, and they are considered big figures in the underworld.
Zhao Xin felt deeply distressed. He frowned and said, "Some of you are from the Great Qin Empire, and some are not. But no matter what, could it be said that I have treated you unfairly?"
He didn't ask about other things at all, because when he and his men did things, generally speaking, there was no need for interrogation, because they had already learned the information they wanted to know, so now it was basically equivalent to speaking frankly.
A middle-aged man stood up and said to Zhao Xin, "His Majesty has treated us well over the years! On the contrary, without His Majesty, we wouldn't have made it this far. Our Great Qin Empire is so prosperous and its wealth is growing. And with His Majesty's support, we're where we are today. Otherwise, the majority of us would still be impoverished peasants. The other half would be killed by bandits somewhere, tortured to death by all sorts of harsh environments! Ultimately, only a handful of us would be able to make the long journey and turn a profit."
Zhao Xin looked at this person and found that he was not young anymore, at least in his 40s.
Unless one is someone who has practiced martial arts or even cultivated immortality to a certain level, ordinary people are considered to be approaching old age when they are in their 40s.
Moreover, this guy's face is full of vicissitudes of life. It is obvious that he has experienced a lot of hardships and is a person with very rich life experience.
But this person is also a small leader among this crowd!
Now this guy's words are very sincere. It is obvious that he also knows that their sophistry is of no use at all.
Since their Emperor is personally arresting people, he must have absolute evidence.
Zhao Xin also smiled and said: Very good, you are very sincere in what you said, but you still haven't told me, since I have been so good to you, why do you still treat me like this?
The middle-aged man said: His Majesty the Emperor is so good to us, but we really have no way to repay him. This is also a huge shadow for us.
So we feel that only when His Majesty the Emperor dies can we truly live our own lives!
Zhao Xin nodded: Very good, very good, you are very sincere in what you said. It can be seen that you have thought about this matter very carefully!
If that’s the case, then there’s nothing more to say. Although my Great Qin Empire is very tolerant in many areas, I, as the emperor, am not a good emperor!
Don't forget, I'm the King of Jie and Zhou, the kind who would kill people if I disagreed with them! When he said this, everyone was indeed shocked.
Generally speaking, Zhao Xin is indeed too complicated.
Especially in the past two years, what Zhao Xin did was really too gentle!
He was very kind to everyone in the Qin Empire. He cared about the living conditions of everyone in the Qin Empire and was worried about everyone who was injured or sick in the Qin Empire.
It can be said that such an emperor is absolutely a benevolent monarch.
Under the halo of such a benevolent monarch, many people have forgotten that Zhao Xin was once a ruthless man who killed countless people!
And in all these years, he hadn't actually changed. The middle-aged businessman named Cangyuan couldn't help but shudder. He knew what the fate of these people would be. In a rage, the emperor might really kill them all in one go.
Cang Yuan said calmly: "Your Majesty the Emperor cannot kill us! Now the fate of us affects the wealth of tens of millions of people in the Great Qin Empire."
If all of us died, at least tens of millions of people in the Qin Empire would suffer direct losses and lose a huge amount of wealth.
In addition, there are countless people who will be indirectly affected. After all, the various goods we provide are what they need in their daily lives!
Zhao Xin looked at the guy named Cang Yuan and nodded. "He's indeed a very shrewd businessman. Even at this time, you're still negotiating with me, right? Are you bargaining with me?"
Are you threatening me? Do you think I don't dare to really kill you?
Cangyuan nodded: What I said is all true. His Majesty the Emperor is also a smart man. Why should he pretend to be confused with us?
Since we are all smart people, there is no need to communicate like fools.
Zhao Xin sneered: You guys are very smart. You know how to use the interests of tens of millions of people to tie you together.
In this way, even if you have committed a capital crime, I, as the emperor, have to consider the feelings of the people under my command, so it is possible that I will show leniency to you, right?
It’s a pity that you really think you are that important?
Do you really think that no one else can replace what you do?
Cangyuan nodded and said: His Majesty the Emperor is a man of great talent and strategy. I believe there will be no problem in cultivating a few talents like us.
But even if His Majesty the Emperor trained talents like us to replace us, those people can only do things according to your requirements for a short period of time at best.
After a long time, they will become like us.
After all, money can move people's hearts, and no one can be completely sincere, as everyone has their own selfish desires!
In that case, His Majesty the Emperor will inevitably have countless enemies. His Majesty the Emperor can kill us, but can you kill the endless number of the same enemies that will come later?
After hearing what this guy said, Zhao Xin couldn't help laughing: As expected, you are a very cunning guy.
There is a little bit of truth in what you said.
Everyone has their own selfish desires. Even if I find someone to replace you, there is a high probability that those guys will become you in the end.
However, if anyone dares to become you again, I will kill him again. I will keep killing him until no one dares to do that again!
