"What are you still standing there for? Please come in!"
Afterwards, there was a brief discussion about the situation that Bai Qi had seen since he came in.
The whole room was filled with a group of generals and guards ready for battle. The ministers and the like were all sitting in the main seats, and the one in the highest position even left a chair for himself.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Whatever you want to do, I have something to ask you, how can I ask you if you don't sit down?"
Bai Qi took two steps back. Good guy, I guess I shouldn’t ask this question. Why does this chair look so lonely? Could there be some trap?
It turned out that he was overthinking it.
But now you really can't blame him for thinking too much. Every time he came in, he would report the situation. Why this time, they were all on high alert and looked so stern, which really shocked Bai Qi.
"Sit down, I have something to tell you."
Bai Qi walked over and didn't sit down. He just lifted his robe, knelt down and then spoke.
"Your Majesty, please tell me what mistake I made!"
This... this guy is so serious that he scared people?
Then Zhao Xin kicked the chief of staff next to him and said, "You are so serious, but you even scared the general. What crime should you take?"
"Why don't you retreat?"
The minister wiped his hair and shouted at the group to disperse quickly. Before leaving, he asked them to move all the broken stools away without leaving a single one behind.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Look at how hasty these two acted.
Bai Qi probably understood what was going on. This was probably a celebration banquet, and they had specially summoned so many ministers to welcome him.
But based on the situation just now, let alone a welcoming banquet, he would even believe it was the last meal before death.
"Your Majesty, please tell me directly what is going on."
"Now you just do your part in this palace and guard the palace guards. I don't think you have any objections."
Good guy, how dare I say I have any opinion?
To be honest, this was just a formality, but not saying it would seem forced. Bai Qi, on the other hand, was completely single-minded and didn't really think about the question of right and wrong.
It was just that Zhao Xin had a hard time with all the traps and stuff, and he just described everything in a straightforward manner, but Bai Qi just nodded.
"I understand. I don't have any objections. Your Majesty, please give me your orders at any time."
readily!
"However, Your Majesty, before the army returned, they captured a man who was quite courageous."
Quite courageous?
The man who could make Bai Qi admire him for his integrity must be extraordinary. So he was a little curious.
"Where are you now?"
"Your Majesty, this man is currently in the Heavenly Prison, awaiting trial. He will probably be executed at 3:30 PM tomorrow."
"How can you execute him if he hasn't been tried yet?"
When Zhao Xin asked this question, he obviously forgot one thing. Since he had become a rebel, what was the point of interrogating him? Wouldn't it be like sending him directly to the execution ground and beheading him?
"And Your Majesty, I have specifically taken over the responsibility of carrying out this operation because I think he is very resolute. Therefore, I intend to end his life immediately and will not delay!"
Zhao Xin became even more curious.
"Show me."
The two of them immediately rushed towards the prison. Of course, Zhao Xin honestly didn't want to use the dragon chariot, so he chose a carriage and Bai Qi drove the horse.
This dragon chariot carried by sixteen people was really too slow, and Zhao Xin was so wobbly that he was afraid of falling down.
Arrived at the place.
Zhao Xin went in first.
This wasn't the first time the prison guard had seen Zhao Xin, so he wasn't that surprised this time and bowed calmly.
"Long live His Majesty!"
"Everyone, please come in!"
As soon as he entered, he could faintly smell the aroma of barbecue. Zhao Xin thought he was mistaken. In such a huge prison with seemingly harsh conditions, how could there be meat to eat?
Good job.
"Your Majesty, you're overthinking it. This meat isn't meant to be eaten as barbecue. But if you'd like to try it..."
After saying this, I almost wanted to contradict myself.
There are so many dazzling dishes served in the palace every day, but Zhao Xin never eats a few bites. Even if there is barbecue here, the emperor will not try a single bite!
"How about it."
Zhao Xin finally understood where that meaty smell came from. It was a red-hot iron placed directly on a person's body, and the crackling sound was truly fragrant, though the iron looked incredibly hot.
Then he hissed softly.
Of course, that person probably heard the voice calling the emperor at the door, so he knew that the person in the dragon robe in front of him was the emperor.
Since they are rebels, there is no need to be nice to the emperor.
"Is the Great Qin Dynasty about to perish? I'm afraid there's no chance of starting with me. It would be better to hand over the entire country to them, right?"
This is a particularly outrageous statement.
Everyone he met hid their edge, but not this one.
The good guy is now starting to laugh at him. I don’t know whose territory this is.
Of course, the guard next to him was unwilling to listen and directly called on the prisoner to beat him again until he shut up.
But he was so stubborn that he wouldn't even shut up. He just gritted his teeth and spit.
"Okay, stop taking care of him. Just go do what you need to do, and put the iron back. Is that reasonable?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Finally, she turned around and glared at the arrogant man, saying, "You've escaped this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."
"I have to say you're quite arrogant. Who are you working for? I'm curious about who could have trained someone like you. I'm truly inferior to you."
"Your grandfather's subordinates hate you palace people the most for your sophisticated words."
this…
Why did he suddenly start blaming the people in their palace? This guy is really interesting.
But he wasn't that interested in discussing this with him.
"Just take the punishment you deserve. I've asked all the questions I need to ask. He's naturally disdainful of such a small test, so why try the more severe punishment?"
Severe punishments like this are usually reserved for those who have committed heinous crimes. They are mainly used to extract confessions or for torture.
Therefore, these people cannot violate this punishment privately.
But now that the emperor has issued the order, they can only make it happen.
Who made this person so rude and offend the emperor? The punishment is so painful.
He hasn't used this kind of punishment much in recent years, and it seems that this time he can get enough pleasure.
"What is the Great Penal Code? Could it be that you were just being humble to me? This is not like the style of your Great Qin!"
