Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 197

Pleading guilty to the thorns seems to be full of sincerity, but in fact, this is just a gesture of peace. As both generals, it is impossible for Lin Xiangru to really use the thorns to draw Lian Po.

As for what Fusu saw right now, it was nothing more than Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan's peacemaking gesture.

Old man Sima, Cheng Zhengle, and Zhuo Dingshan's status are so disparate, it is doomed that the so-called pleading guilty is just a play for him to help Su!

Fusu said coldly: "Let them in."

Immediately, an attendant went down, and soon after, Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan were brought in.

Seeing the thorns behind the two of them, Fu Su sneered and said, "Come here, take the thorns behind you two."

"Thank you, my lord." Seeing this situation, Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle secretly sighed in their hearts that they had worked all night yesterday, and it still had some effect.

Fusu laughed "hehe" a few times, and said, "You don't have to thank me, just two bundles of wattle, do you two think you can get away with it?"

Hearing these words, Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan immediately knelt down and fell silent.

"Mr. Zhuo, you are really arrogant. You have thousands of servants, and the countryside stretches as far as the eye can see. You can enjoy yourself in it, dabble in hunting and playing. Even my father, the current Emperor Shi Huang, needs to review piles of official documents every day. treatment."

"Master Zhuo, are you trying to compare yourself to the king of Great Qin?"

Fusu's words were plain, but to Zhuo Dingshan's ears, every word was so important that he was almost out of breath, especially the last sentence, which made Zhuo Dingshan's hair stand on end, and a chill ran down his spine. Straight into the back of the head.

"Young man is guilty, please forgive me!" At this moment, Zhuo Dingshan could only kneel on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly, not even daring to say a word of excuse.

Because what Fusu said was just the tip of the iceberg. For so many years, what crazy things he did did not stop there?How much more can you buy for your own enjoyment?

"And you, Mrs. Cheng Zheng." Fusu's icy eyes suddenly turned to Cheng Zhengle.

Cheng Zhengle only felt a rush of momentum that made him dare not take any action, and could only quietly wait for Fusu's trial.

Immediately, Fusu's voice came from Fusu's ear, and Fusu said: "Cheng Zheng, you secretly communicated with the Southwestern Yi and other vassal states, and sold ironware and other materials to foreign countries without the emperor's edict. Cheng Zheng, do you know this?" What kind of crime is it?"

Fusu's words completely frightened Cheng Zhengle a little weakly. According to Fusu's words, what he committed was the capital crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family, liaising with foreign countries, and selling strategic materials. No matter which one it is, it is enough to kill his whole family. up!
At the beginning, Cheng Zhengle thought that he was not as rampant as Zhuo Dingshan, and it should be taken for granted. The result should be slightly better than Zhuo Dingshan, but now it seems that there is not much difference.

"Xiaomin is guilty..." Cheng Zhengle quickly kowtowed.

Looking at the appearance of the two, Fusu's eyes flickered with murderous intent more than once, wanting to kill these two bastards, but in the end, reason still prevailed over emotion.

Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan lay on the ground respectfully, quietly waiting for Fusu's fate.

As the eldest son of the first emperor, and even the envoy of this tour, Fusu's words represent the first emperor in a sense. Now, the emperor is holding him accountable, who would dare to have other thoughts in vain?
"Mr. Zhuo, Mr. Cheng Zheng, some time ago, I saw an ancient book in which there was written a punishment called "Peeling the Real Grass", which was specially used to deal with people with human faces and beast hearts. This punishment was first introduced. The human skin is completely peeled off without any damage, then the human skin is filled with hay, and finally it is hung at the gate of the county government office to warn the world."

Fusu smiled and explained to Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle, Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle looked at Fusu with horror.

For a long time, in the spread of the world, it has always been an image of unparalleled benevolence, Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle also thought so at first, but after hearing Fusu explain this kind of torture so plainly, Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle Fusu's benevolent attitude instantly collapsed in his mind.

Even some cruel officials would not be able to compare with such means, and Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle hated the person who wrote this kind of punishment to the bottom of their hearts.

Fusu looked at the faces of the two, and found that the effect of his intimidation seemed to be pretty good.

To be honest, skinning is unheard of in China at this time, but it is not uncommon around Daqin.

For example, the primitive shamanism worshiped by the Xiongnu often peeled off the human skin of slaves for sacrifices. Anyway, in their view, slaves are just movable property, not human beings.

For the enemies they hate, the Huns have a hobby. They cut off the heads of the opponents and use them as wine vessels. The meaning is to let the enemies watch them enjoy themselves and suffer a lot.

Seeing the terrified expressions on the faces of the two, Fusu also knew what was appropriate and said: "According to the crimes of the two of you, I will confiscate all the property of the two of you, and all the members of your clan will be imprisoned, and then I will report this torture to my father. The emperor, wait for the father to rule."

Hearing this, Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle both looked dark.

"But heaven has the virtue of good life, as the old saying goes: learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones, cure diseases and save lives. Therefore, Gu is willing to give you a chance."

The eyes of both of them brightened, as if they still had a chance to survive!
Immediately, they saw that Fusu took out a copper coin from his pocket, and then placed the copper coin quietly in the center of his palm.

Fusu snorted coldly, and said: "Don't be too happy, your life and death will be determined by God's will."

"After tossing this copper coin, if the side with no characters faces up, this roll of bamboo will be sent to Xianyang, and you will be imprisoned immediately, waiting for the judgment." Fusu took a roll from the case table The bamboo slips were thrown in front of the two of them.

Needless to say, both Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle understood that once the scroll of bamboo slips was delivered to Xianyang and placed on Yingzheng's case, they would definitely have no chance of surviving.

"If the side with the words is facing up, you can live, but the death penalty is inevitable, and the crime of living is inevitable. You also need to do something for the orphan to pay for the crime. If so, what you did before All kinds of evil things will be written off."

After saying this, Fusu threw the copper coins into the air with a "swish". Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle stared at this scene in astonishment, and immediately prayed secretly in their hearts.

As for some things that Fusu said, both Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle felt nothing, even if Fusu asked them to take out all their wealth at this moment, they would take it out without blinking an eyelid.
