Ying Zheng is not the kind of soft-hearted person, not to mention people like Gao Song feeding him poison, which is killing him.

Therefore, Ying Zheng didn't even look at the many alchemists who were kneeling and begging for mercy, and turned to Meng Yi to order.

"Give immortal medicine to these immortal masters, and then throw them into the pit and bury them alive!"

"Here!"

Meng Yi agreed, and immediately called his subordinates to bring a big bucket.

Inside, what is contained is the most important material of the elixir, a bucket full of mercury.

"Come here, feed the immortal masters to take the elixir, I want to see if their elixir can save their lives!"

Meng Yi gave orders with a sneer, and immediately someone carried the bucket, and then forcibly poured mercury into the mouths of the alchemists.

Mercury itself is highly poisonous, not to mention those Xuanniao guards are relentless, directly pouring a full ladle into their mouths.

"No... let me go, I won't dare again!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Let go of me, I don't want to drink!"

……

Faced with the begging and denunciation of the alchemists, Xuanniaowei didn't pay attention at all, and if he didn't open his mouth, he just forcibly twisted his jaw off, and then opened it and poured it in.

After filling the mercury, they were thrown into the pit, waiting to be buried alive.

Xuanniaowei's actions were very efficient, and within a short time, dozens of alchemists present were all thrown into the pit.

That Gao Song wanted to resist when he was about to die, but his life was cut off by someone kicking him, and he couldn't even leave a whole body when he died.

"Ying Zheng, you tyrant, you will suffer retribution!"

"Tyrant, even if I die and become a ghost, I won't let you go."

"Ying Zheng, I'll be waiting for you below!"

……

Knowing that they couldn't survive, those alchemists also lost their awe of Ying Zheng, and they cursed angrily.

However, their throats were filled with mercury, so their voices were extremely quiet, and if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't even be able to hear what they were saying.

Ying Zheng just sneered at this.

"I don't know how many people I have killed since I ascended the throne of the Great Qin Dynasty. How dare you threaten me with you trash?"

"Do it, bury it!"

With a big wave of Meng Yi's hand, the Xuanniao guards around turned into workers, each holding a shovel (ancient shovel) and began to fill the pit with soil.

And those alchemists had no strength after shouting for a while.

With so much mercury poured into his stomach, he was almost certain to die, even if the Immortal Da Luo came, it would be difficult to save him.

Fortunately, now only the normal phenomenon of mercury poisoning appeared, and began to have abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Those who were less lucky were directly blocked by mercury in their trachea, and died of suffocation.

There are also some people who are rolling all over the floor clutching their stomach pains. The density of mercury is so high that it can directly smash through the stomach wall when it enters the stomach.

The wailing in the pit resounded throughout, and Ying Zheng stood on it with a calm face. This kind of thing was no surprise to him.

Even Ying Zheng felt that killing them directly was a kind of forgiveness for these people.

His Majesty the First Emperor who intended to murder the Qin Dynasty, this crime alone is not enough to punish the nine clans.

"Longevity, is it really just a fantasy? Dare to ask the heavens, are there immortals?"

Seeing those alchemists being buried one by one, Ying Zheng felt a little lost in his heart.

Longevity has become Yingzheng's obsession, and he has spent a lot of energy and time on it.

But in the end, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain. Instead of gaining longevity, he was tricked by a group of treacherous villains.

……

The next day, the news that many alchemists in Xianyang Palace were murdered by Ying Zheng was once again passed on.

It hasn't been long since the incident of burning books and burying Confucian scholars. Just the last time, Ying Zheng has gained a reputation as a tyrant.

In a blink of an eye, he killed all the immortal masters who had refined so many pills for him. Under the deliberate guidance of some caring people, the name of Yingzheng's tyrant became more popular.

As for Jingshui, which is just outside Xianyang, the news reached Zhao Che's ears in just one day.

"Burning books and deceiving scholars? No, isn't that what happened last year? There is no record in history that Ying Zheng cheated twice."

Zhao Che frowned. He didn't care about the rumors, but simply felt that the news didn't match the history.

"It should be because this incident is not as influential as before, so there is no record."

Zhao Che shook his head, didn't pay much attention to these things, and turned to greet Zhang Han who had just joined.

"Young master, what do you think of His Majesty the First Emperor? Do you also think he is a tyrant?"

Zhang Han took this opportunity to ask Zhao Che about his thoughts.

"Tyrant? It doesn't count. His Majesty the Emperor is at most decisive in killing and attacking. If you want to say tyrant, he really doesn't deserve the title."

"How is it possible? Your Majesty led the Great Qin to sweep across the six kingdoms and killed countless people in his life. How could he not be worthy of the title of tyrant?"

Zhang Han was distorted by Zhao Che's words. Originally, the title of tyrant was a derogatory term, but the key point was that Zhao Che also said that Ying Zheng was not worthy, so Zhang Han couldn't stand it anymore and immediately refuted it.

"It's true that these are the achievements of Emperor Shihuang, but if you want to talk about a tyrant, he is really far behind."

Zhao Che sighed and continued.

"Let me ask you, did Emperor Shi Huang ever slaughter a city during his lifetime of war? Did he ever massacre surrendered soldiers?"

"This...not really."

"Well, after the first emperor unified the six kingdoms and settled the world, did he ever kill Zhongliang?"

"Chaozhong Zhongliang made great military exploits for His Majesty back then, how could His Majesty not treat them kindly?"

"Okay, let me ask you again, did Emperor Shi Huang ever wantonly plunder other people's property for pleasure?"

"Your Majesty has dedicated his whole life to the Great Qin, and he has never even become a queen. How can he be greedy for pleasure?"

"Isn't it over?"

Zhao Che spread his hands.

"Since the first emperor has never done these things, what kind of tyrant is he? What is the basis for you to believe that he is a tyrant? Did you just hear a few rumors?"

Zhang Han was at a loss for words and didn't know how to refute Zhao Che for a moment.

Judging from the few questions he raised, the first emperor did not look like a tyrant at all.

"By the way, the heads of Guizhou people all said that the laws of Qin established by His Majesty are too strict. If you accidentally break the law, you may even be held liable. Isn't that cruel?"

"Is this considered cruel? What is the function of the first emperor's enactment of the Qin Law? The purpose is to restrain everyone, so that they dare not act recklessly and rely on their own abilities to crazily trample on the bottom line of law and morality. Is there anything wrong with governing the country by law? ?”

"Ruling the country by law is of course right. After the reform of the Shang Dynasty in the past, Daqin formulated the national policy of ruling the country by law, and the facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with ruling the country by law."
