Chapter 287 He is confident of taking down Ying Chengjiao
This guy has changed! He would never have said such words before! The Qin Lu in this guy's heart is gone!
With his fists clenched, Gan Luo didn't know how to face such a brother.
Although the words sounded light and gentle, they were filled with arrogance.
"Who do you think you are?"
Gan Luo gritted his teeth, trying hard not to be overwhelmed by Ying Chengjiao's momentum.
"Heaven? Or the king? You are against all the noble families in the world and you are going against heaven. You can't take this path! You can't kill all the noble families!"
He roared out these words, and there were thousands of other words left, wanting to vent out along with the fear in his heart.
Gan Luo never expected that Ying Chengjiao would become like this, it was too contradictory.
People who pursue freedom, equality and fairness.
How can one become a tyrant who uses violence to control others and do what he wants? The two are in conflict!
"Well……"
Bang!
Before Gan Luo could say the rest of his words, Ying Chengjiao grabbed his neck and pressed him against the cell wall.
The feeling of suffocation is very uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than the severe pain in the neck, and death seems to come at any time.
Gan Luo opened his mouth and breathed hard, using both hands to desperately pry Ying Chengjiao's right hand apart, while his legs kicked back and forth in the air.
Ying Chengjiao smiled faintly, his expression as gentle and peaceful as ever.
"My name is Chang'an, and I will ensure long-term peace and stability for the world. Anyone who does not obey me will die."
He relaxed his right hand a little, and as he took deep breaths, some air entered Gan Luo's body, slightly dispelling the gloom brought by death.
Gan Luo stopped struggling and looked at Ying Chengjiao who was looking up at him below him, his heart filled with fear.
Especially that nonchalant smile, which frightened him from the bottom of his heart. He felt that Ying Chengjiao's smile was getting bigger and bigger, rising high into the sky, overlooking him.
"There is no road that I cannot walk, and no one that I cannot kill. Brother Luo, are you willing to bow down for me?"
Ying Chengjiao loosened his right hand, and Gan Luo fell. He first fell to the ground on all fours, then covered his neck with both hands and gasped heavily.
What this guy said is true, this guy is even crazier!
The three great families have already perished. If Luo refuses to obey, the Gan family will also perish!
"only."
Gan Luo knelt on his knees and lowered his noble head, feeling extremely humiliated.
But his voice was full of humility, and he did not dare to reveal even the slightest grievance.
…
A candle was burning in the study, the candlelight flickering, and the orange-yellow light reflected on Cai Ze's face, making the cautiousness and fear on it clearly visible.
All the people from the three great families died in front of the gate of the Supreme Court. Such a big thing could not be concealed, and no one wanted to conceal it.
"Lord Chang'an, how dare you do this..."
The old man couldn't figure out why Ying Chengjiao dared to do this.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who dared to issue the order to massacre, was deprived of power by the Queen Dowager Xuan during his reign. After he successfully seized power, he did not dare to take action against all the nobles who obeyed the Queen Dowager Xuan and opposed his policies. He only expelled the four nobles and executed the main culprit.
A king cannot control the world alone, he needs the assistance of aristocratic families. The positions of both parties are naturally the same.
The old man understood that centralizing power was something that successive Qin rulers had been doing.
But the old man couldn't understand why the three great families of Meng Xibai were killed.
This was not only an extermination blow to the aristocratic families, but also a devastating blow to the royal power.
Without aristocratic families, there would be no king.
"Sir, are you waiting for me?"
As the door opened, a gentle voice sounded, and Ying Chengjiao walked in as if he was walking in a garden.
"you!"
The old man stood up suddenly, shocked, and wanted to ask Ying Chengjiao how he got in, but as soon as he said the word "you", he realized that it was nonsense.
It was a fact that Ying Chengjiao had entered his mansion. It didn't matter whether he had knocked out all his servants and forced his way in, or had climbed over the wall, so he hurriedly changed the conversation.
"You are so confused!" The old man said with great sorrow: "You did this in front of the Supreme Court. Why don't you flee Xianyang? If His Majesty finds out, you will definitely die..."
"Sir, you are good at talking. I have experienced this since I was in prison in Xianyang. If you are afraid, just say so. There is no need to bring this matter onto me."
Cai Ze was interrupted and slowly sat back in his chair.
This boy's faith is as strong as iron, and words cannot change his meaning.
"I don't ask you to lead all the noble families anymore. I just want you to tell me about the noble families. How about that?"
"Ze dare not disobey the orders of Lord Chang'an."
Cai Ze bowed his head and responded simply.
Ying Chengjiao nodded with satisfaction and turned to walk out.
"Sir, if you break your promise, the Cai family will be extinct along with the three great families. I can enter your house at night and take your life at night."
Soft words floated from outside to Cai Ze's ears. The old man, who had been good at keeping himself safe in troubled times all his life, had an extremely humble look on his face, but was extremely angry in his heart.
No one had ever threatened him so blatantly.
After this incident, the old man could no longer concentrate on reading.
He blew out the candle with a gloomy face, stood up and walked quickly back to the bedroom.
Along the way, the old man asked all the servants in the mansion, and no one had seen a outsider, as if Ying Chengjiao just now was a transparent person, or the old man just had hallucinations.
The old man thought about how Ying Chengjiao had entered his mansion tonight as if it were an empty place, and he also thought of the corpses of the three major families piled up in front of the gate of the Tingwei Mansion.
In contrast to the two, he became more and more wary of Ying Chengjiao.
With a gloomy face, he let his maid undress him. He sent the maid away, lifted the quilt and was about to go to sleep.
Suddenly I found a thick stack of things that were as thin as a cicada's wing and something I had never seen before under the brocade quilt.
The old man's face became uglier and uglier. He picked up the things he had never seen before and looked at them carefully. There were words on the top thing:
[This thing is called paper. When you are done with it, you can go to Chang'an Jun's residence to get it yourself. It is my apology for coming here without asking for permission today.]
"Apology? How can there be such an apology in the world! How dare you bully me like this!"
The old man tore off the first piece of paper, crumpled it in his hands, and growled under his breath.
"Are you telling Ze that you can kill him anytime you want? You bastard!"
After cursing a few more times in a low voice, the old man breathed heavily and smoothed out the crumpled piece of paper with words on it in his hand, restoring it to its original state.
But the countless creases on it cannot be restored to their original state.
The old man wanted to tear the paper in front of him into pieces, but after looking at it for a long time, his hands shook for a long time, and finally he fell dejectedly on the bed.
He doesn't dare.
Tonight, Gang Chengjun can't sleep.
…
"How dare you, kid, cause such a disaster!"
The oldest great uncle in the Ying family paced back and forth, looking annoyed.
In the lobby, all the descendants of the Ying family who had the most say in the Ying clan gathered together and surrounded Ying Chengjiao in a circle.
"This time the trouble is too big, no one can tolerate you, how can you be so careless?"
"Unless you launch a mutiny to dethrone your majesty, it will be extremely difficult to restore the family's loyalty."
"How did the three great families offend you to take such ruthless action? Have you ever considered the consequences?"
“…”
The crowd was talking non-stop, and most of them were criticizing Ying Chengjiao for doing things without considering the consequences.
Ying Chengjiao listened quietly, and seeing that the candle was almost half burned, there was still no constructive suggestion.
Then he said, "Everyone, please listen to what Cheng Jiao has to say."
After saying this, the old people were still in chaos, still talking about their own things.
Bang!
Thunder exploded in the lobby, and the hall fell silent in an instant. The old people either had angry looks or gloomy faces, and they all stared angrily at Ying Chengjiao who was pointing his gun to the sky.
This guy actually showed such a deadly weapon to us? !
The old people had seen pistols at the Wax Festival dinner, so they were not unfamiliar with them.
"Cheng Jiao came here not to ask you elders to clean up the mess for me, Ying Cheng Jiao."
Ying Chengjiao put the gun into his arms.
"Cheng Jiao wants all the elders to make a petition to abolish slavery."
My great uncle walked up to Ying Chengjiao.
"The slaves and concubines of the Qin State are an indispensable labor force and are of great benefit to the Qin State. What is your reason for abolishing slavery?"
"There is no reason." Ying Chengjiao looked at his great-uncle and said, "Just do as you are told, elders."
Weiyang Jun Ying Xi frowned and said, "Nonsense! This..."
"Uncle, I heard Lü Buwei say that you were the first person he came to. You disliked him because he was a merchant and didn't even let him in. My father once said that when you learned that Lü Buwei had become my disciple, you said that he was an insult to the royal family.
"With the help of Lu Buwei, my father defeated my uncle and became King Zhuangxiang of Qin. This shows that my uncle's vision is not very good. Cheng Jiao can see that you are good to him, but this is not the reason for you to refute his remarks."
Ying Xi, the elder brother of Qin Zhaoxiang King Ying Zichu, looked more and more unhappy. It was unprecedented for him to be scolded by Ying Chengjiao in front of so many people.
The other elders of the Ying clan also had unhappy expressions on their faces. When Ying Chengjiao was talking about Ying Xi, wasn't he also indirectly criticizing them?
Soon, the old people's faces became extremely ugly because Ying Chengjiao really talked about them.
"If you elders had a long-term vision and sharp eyes, you would not be here today. Instead, you should sit on the throne and embrace the vast world. Cheng Jiao has made up his mind. You elders may not understand, just do as he says. If you don't, don't blame Cheng Jiao for expelling you from the family tree."
The old men were silent, and then nodded one after another.
"promise."
The genealogy of the Ying clan was in the hands of Ying Chengjiao, not the First Emperor.
"Then thank you very much, elders."
Ying Chengjiao bowed to everyone and then walked out of the hall with square steps.
My great uncle looked at Ying Chengjiao's back and let out a long sigh.
"Cheng Jiao really went too far today."
Ying Xi walked up to his great-uncle and said unhappily.
"Excessive, this is excessive? If His Majesty said he wanted to abolish slavery, would you dare to ask His Majesty for a reason?"
My great uncle glanced at Ying Xi and said in a deep voice.
"this……"
Ying Xi’s words came to an end.
Of course he didn't dare.
Although the Ying clan had never given the same full support to the First Emperor as they had given to King Zhuangxiang of Qin, they did not dare to disobey the First Emperor.
No one dared to disobey the orders of the First Emperor.
The First Emperor knew that the Ying clan had always complained about the fact that he was born in the State of Zhao, but he didn't care.
"This boy awakened too late, too late... If he had been so powerful a dozen years earlier, there would be no such thing as that mother and son!"
My great uncle was filled with regret.
A group of old people also sighed continuously.
It's too late for this boy to realize it. The world has already changed hands and it's difficult to return!
…
Zhangtai Palace.
There was nothing on the First Emperor's desk, as all the eunuchs and maids were driven out.
The First Emperor went to bed early today, but he did not go to any of the concubines or the empress's palaces. Instead, he slept in the Zhangtai Palace.
When Ying Chengjiao was covered with a blanket and allowed to enter by Zhao Gao, he looked at it for the first time and didn't see a single bamboo slip, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
I felt even more uncomfortable when I couldn't find the First Emperor after walking around for a while.
He followed the First Emperor's breath to the bedroom of Zhangtai Palace, and saw that the First Emperor was sleeping soundly with steady breathing, which made him even more uncomfortable.
Nothing happened in the past, and you reviewed memorials beyond midnight.
Such a big thing happened today, but you went to bed early?
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and woke the First Emperor up.
The First Emperor rubbed his sleepy eyes, glanced at the person who woke him up and saw that it was Ying Chengjiao, and yawned.
"You're here?"
"Well, I thought my brother would wait for me."
"The line is wrong. You should say I'm here, and then I say you shouldn't have come, and then..."
"Brother, I'm not in the mood to play around with you today."
The First Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light condensed in them.
"Not in the mood to play with me?"
The First Emperor, wearing only his underwear, turned over and sat up from the bed, his majesty was no less than when he was wearing the Xuanniao crown.
It is said that the crown symbolizes the highest power, but in fact it is not true.
Only the First Emperor wore the crown and robes, and the crown and robes symbolized the highest power.
If others wear it, they will die.
"So what you did today was not just a joke with me?"
The First Emperor was one step closer to Ying Chengjiao.
"You are so impressive for beheading three great families in front of the Court of Justice. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you were playing with me. Those you killed were all death row prisoners."
The First Emperor spoke calmly, but the anger on his face became more and more obvious as he spoke.
He was burning with anger and slapped Ying Chengjiao.
Normally, Ying Chengjiao would have run away long ago, but this time he did not dodge or evade. Instead, he flipped his wrist and grabbed the First Emperor's wrist on the left side of his head.
"You are no match for me, so don't humiliate yourself today."
"I hit you, and you dare to fight back?!"
Ying Chengjiao stretched out his hand and used his strength to push the First Emperor back onto the bed to prevent him from falling and getting hurt.
But the rage on the First Emperor's face only grew, and he was not at all calmed by Ying Chengjiao's thoughtfulness.
"Gai Nie, Zhao Gao!"
The First Emperor suddenly shouted.
Bang!
Bang!
Two figures, one in black and one in white, quickly entered the room, followed the voice, stood in front of the First Emperor's bed, and faced Ying Chengjiao.
The First Emperor passed between Gai Nie and Zhao Gao, walked in front of Ying Chengjiao again, slapped him, and was caught by Ying Chengjiao again.
"You are so bold today. Are you relying on the gun in your arms?" The First Emperor said coldly, "At such a close distance, your gun can only kill one of Zhao Gao and Gai Nie at most. Don't force me to use two people to control you. Let go."
Ying Chengjiao used his skill to push the First Emperor again, and the First Emperor fell onto the bed again.
There was a gleam of light in Zhao Gao's eyes, and he rushed forward like a ghost in the dark night.
Gai Nie stepped back and stood in front of the First Emperor.
There was a flash of surprise in the First Emperor's eyes. He thought Gai Nie would stop Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao was fully focused and took action.
At such a close distance, he was confident that he could take down Ying Chengjiao!
