Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

Li Jue had no choice but to explain again, saying: "Lord Meng, it looks like your seal has turned black, but in fact you have been ill recently."

"But after recovering from the illness, my face will glow red. This does not affect my work at all, and it does not affect me beheading King Qi."

The chief minister looked puzzled, and said: "Really? You have to think about it clearly. If you fall ill or die after beheading the king of Qi, you are violating the laws of Qin, and you may be of the barbarians."

Li Jue was taken aback, what else is there to say?

Zongcheng said: "It was proposed by Lord Ting Wei Li Si. He thought that as an executioner, he could kill ordinary criminals and die, but if he killed important people, it would be a crime."

"If it spreads out, the common people will spread rumors, saying that we killed the wrong person, we were punished by the gods, and our retribution went directly to the executioner. Therefore, we must ensure that the executioner is still alive after killing the big man, otherwise the tribe of barbarians."

Li Jue was shocked, and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you let the executioner eat and drink well to suppress the evil spirit, then it will be fine."

The chief minister sighed: "There are too many executioners in Daqin, and their status is low. That is to say, you have become the director, so you have a salary, and you can also eat beheading wine. It is good if others can eat a full meal."

Li Jue sighed, this is the sorrow of the executioner.

Daqin really needed to behead or deal with too many prisoners, and most of the executioners were people who couldn't eat and had nowhere to go.

Naturally, human life is cheaper than grass.

If in later generations, especially during the Tang and Ming Dynasties, there were only a handful of people beheaded in the whole country every year, the job of executioner would be more sought-after.

Li Jue felt that it was a bit like a demon slayer in the sky.

Executioners are relatively few, and they all need to be provided with good food and drink. If the mortal world is more relaxed, even the family members of the prisoner will send money, so get rid of him quickly and don't torture the prisoner.

In short.

Daqin's executioner is too inhumane.

Zongcheng said: "Director Li, think about it carefully. If you don't do well, you will die at that time, and it will not be your business alone."

Li Jue said: "Don't think about it, Lord Meng, I am willing to sacrifice my life for the country. If something really happens, the Yi tribe will not hesitate."

In fact, he doesn't have any clansmen in this world anymore. To him, the so-called Yi clan is the only one who dies.

However, Li Jue didn't care about it. If he really died from evil spirits entering his body, wouldn't he be whipped to death?

He couldn't kill King Qi, but he was not happy.

Zongcheng sighed and said: "Director Li, why do you do this? If you got the little salary for beheading the king of Qi, you don't need it. It is said that you have a little business relationship with Jia Shizhen, so that's not the case."

"But if it's for your reputation, you shouldn't. Why do we executioners want that reputation? If you walk out, you will be cast aside even more. What's more, the King Qi you beheaded is a little different, he is a cultivator."

Speaking of this, his voice was still a little softer, and said: "Do you know, Qi Wangjian once received advice from an immortal, and has been cultivating immortality. It is rumored that he can eat or drink without eating or drinking for three months, and he has a strong sense of immortality."

"If you kill a cultivator, who knows if you will have bad luck, who knows if you will suddenly die suddenly. So, you should think carefully about this matter, let the whole prison draw life and death lottery."

Now that Zongcheng is the Zongting Weicheng of the entire Xianyang Twelve Prisons, it is natural to think from the perspective of the overall situation.

but.

He would still think about the prisoners in the East City Department, and said in a low voice: "But don't worry, I will operate from it, so that no one in the East City Department will be drawn, so you can rest assured."

Li Jue hurriedly said: "My lord, there is no need, I am really fine."

"I don't do it for money, as you said, I have business with Director Jia, and I don't need money; second, I don't do it for fame, otherwise I can become a great calligrapher even after quitting my job by virtue of my calligraphy."

"I don't do it for money or fame, but for the country and the people with my heart. You have said it all. The executioner who killed Qi Wangjian can't do anything wrong, otherwise it will damage Daqin's reputation. If I don't go up today, another person may not be able to take over." Down."

The chief minister sighed, and said: "Director Li, your mind is not as good as this official's. Forget it, since you insist on this, I will go to Tingwei Li Xiang and report the situation."

After Li Jue thanked him, Zong Cheng got up and left.

after.

People from prisons came to inquire about the situation one after another. When they knew that Zong Cheng had said that people would draw life and death lottery and that they were not allowed to participate, everyone was excited.

They don't want to behead Xiuxian, and now there are rumors all over the world that if they behead Qi Wangjian, their life will be shortened.

He also said that Daqin would definitely suffer retribution for doing so.

Because of this, Li Si specifically proposed that the executioner must be physically strong and not be affected by evil spirits.

Otherwise, when the time comes to kill Qi Wangjian, instead of taking his life, people will see the joke and respond to the rumors.

but.

When everyone heard that Li Jue was determined to kill Qi Wangjian, they were all stunned.

Niu San was startled and said: "Seventh brother, what are you doing, there is no need, your seal is black, it looks like you will die soon, why are you making trouble with yourself?"

Li Jue glanced at him and said, "I won't go, you go?"

Niu San was discouraged, and said: "Master Meng has already said, let others go up, dead fellows don't die poor daoists, why should we go up."

Hu Man was also a little worried, and said: "Li Jue, let's forget it, the people who were killed before, even Lu Buwei, are just mortals, this King Qi is a cultivator, so it's not easy to kill."

Li Jue said righteously: "It's not easy to kill, so can I retreat?"

"I don't go up today, let someone else go up in the future, when the time comes, the executioner beheaded Qi Wangjian, got sick, and finally died suddenly, and he will be stigmatized by the barbarians, and he will be infamous for thousands of years. Is this appropriate!?"

He grieved and said: "If I retreat today, others will have to step forward. In the end, they will die and the Dao tribe will be barbarian. We, the executioners, have a miserable life experience, and we have to implicate the family. Why bother!?"

When everyone heard this, their hearts were shocked.

Li Jue's kindness was so shocking that they were all moved for a moment.

Hu Man's eyes were even redder. The man she fell in love with was just like this for the country and the people.

Niu San also bowed his head in shame, and the others were even more so, all admiring and ashamed at the same time.

"good!"

"well said!"

At this moment, the eldest son Fusu came in from the door.

He clapped his palms and said, "Director Li, you are worthy of being the pillar of our Great Qin. These words from the bottom of my heart really make me feel ashamed."

"It's a blessing for Daqin to have you."

Everyone saw the eldest son one after another, and at the same time stepped aside.

Li Jue cupped his hands and said, "Eldest Young Master is not working in the thatched cottage, how could he come here when he is free? What you said just now is really not worth mentioning."

Fusu said: "There are three lords and nine ministers in the grass house, and there is no problem without me."

"However, to kill King Qi this time, it would not be possible without Director Li." His face was full of excitement, and he said impassionedly: "Director Li, I knew who you were and what happened to King Qi, so I would definitely kill you." Come forward, and I'm here to persuade you."

Then he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "But now it seems that I am not qualified to persuade you."

After all, he patted Li Jue on the shoulder.

Li Jue smiled. In fact, he is really not that good. He just beheaded King Qi, so he could sell the Yin-Yang Life and Death Scroll.

There is only good for him, no harm.

The problems these people worry about, he doesn't exist.

but.

He can't say it.

Eldest son Fusu encouraged Li Jue a few more words, intending to leave, but Li Jue looked tired, as if he was overworked.

He didn't want to help Su die early, and he would rather change the dynasty if someone else became the emperor.

Then he pushed back the crowd and asked: "My lord, the Qi State has been destroyed recently, and there is no war in the Great Qin. You should be relieved. Why are you working so hard?"

Fu Su said: "It's better for Director Li to see that the Qi State has been destroyed, but my Daqin is about to establish a state, and many things need to be dealt with. At the same time, Daqin needs to manage ten times more land, so it is naturally busier. "

Li Jue said: "We still need to pay attention to rest."

Fusu shook his head with a smile and said: "No, I don't have time to rest. There have been too many things recently, whether it is the matter of King Qi, or the establishment of the country, or inviting immortals, or General Wang Jian beheading the prisoners of Qi State I need to deal with everything, and I can't be busy at all."

Li Jue was taken aback, there seemed to be many things involved.

Both King Qi and Liguo are fine, but regarding the matter of inviting immortals, he had previously stated as an expert, without immortals, how could Yingzheng never forget it?

Secondly, Wang Jian killed the captives of Qi State. He could not have made such a low-level mistake.

But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood why Wang Jian did this.

If you don't do anything wrong, if the six kingdoms are destroyed, it will be the Wang family who will suffer.

Wang Jian has always done a good job in these things.

Fu Su said again: "Actually, these things are okay, the main thing is that I had a dream last night, a very long dream, and I was very tired when I woke up in the morning."

Li Jue was taken aback, and said, "What dream?"

Fusu said: "Not long ago, there were demons descended into the city and caused chaos in the world. Fortunately, an unknown expert took action to subdue the demons and subdue the demons, and the disasters were avoided."

Li Jue nodded with a smile, the unknown master is right in front of you, you see I look a little like before.

Fu Su continued: "In my dream last night, I dreamed of the turtle fairy who ran away from the beginning. He said that he was the Prime Minister of the Weihe Crystal Palace Turtle. This time he was deceived by the monster and made a mistake. He was about to be arrested and killed. Please save me." he."

Li Jue was stunned, with a strange look on his face.

Fu Su said: "At first I was very scared, I didn't know if it was true or not, but after careful inquiry, I realized that it might be true. Usually I dream, and I can't remember it clearly when I wake up, but this matter is very clear."

Li Jue smiled without saying a word.

Fusu continued: "So I suspect that the ghost fairy's dream may be true. However, he didn't tell me how to save him. I dreamed all night and thought about it early in the morning, so I'm tired."

Then he said: "Director Li, you are the most intelligent person on weekdays, tell me, what should I do?"

Overslept, late update.

It's the end of the month, please ask for a monthly ticket, beg for a monthly ticket, let me participate in a monthly ticket lottery, I am very grateful.
