Chapter 13

No matter the reason, he would execute them without mercy!

"The Ninth Prince's handling is very good."

"Hu Hai is of royal blood, demoted to a commoner."

"Handling it this way also avoids the situation of killing each other."

"As for Li Si, his achievements are indeed many, but he rebelled."

"This handling is also very good, because his great achievements can offset it, and it doesn't have to implicate his family."

"The Ninth Prince's handling is very appropriate and feels very fair."

"As for Zhao Gao, he is just a eunuch, with no achievements at all, he deserves to die!"

The officials whispered, very satisfied with Ying Ying Zi Ye's handling.

But soon they became confused again.

"Extreme punishment?"

"What is extreme punishment?"

"Have you heard of it?"

"Never heard of it, maybe it's torture?"

"Keep your voices down, just listen quietly."

The officials kneeling on the side pricked up their ears.

They were all curious about what this extreme punishment was.

There was no such extreme punishment in the Great Qin laws.

Could it be something Prince Ying Zi Ye made up himself?

"What is the extreme punishment you speak of?"

Ying Zheng also looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye at this time, full of confusion.

He didn't know what this extreme punishment was either, but he was interested.

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled: "Extreme punishments, there are many, for example: lighting a sky lamp, human stick, skinning, hanging cage, etc..."

"These extreme punishments are the best destination for rebels!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the confused expressions of the officials.

He felt it was quite interesting, so he might as well say a few more words.

"Lighting a sky lamp; strip the prisoner naked, wrap them in linen, soak them in an oil vat, and after nightfall, tie them upside down to a tall wooden pole and light them from the feet."

"Actually, there is another way to light a sky lamp: drill a small hole in the prisoner's brain, pour in lamp oil and light it, allowing the prisoner to be burned to death in extreme pain. Human stick; cut off the prisoner's limbs and stop the bleeding slightly, then put them in an open-topped jar."

"Pour maggots into the jar; the prisoner's whole body can only move their head left, right, up, and down, and the maggots are crawling all over them every moment, causing extreme itching but with no way to stop it."

"Hanging cage, the prisoner is stripped naked, tied tightly all over, their mouth sealed, and then hung up.

Hunger and thirst are small matters; sun and rain, skin tearing and flesh bursting are just like that, but the scary thing is that they cannot speak, cannot move their body.

But their brain is still working, and the sinner will show regret, resentment, unwillingness, fear, and pain in their eyes.

Slow torture, unable to live and unable to die, it might take several days or even a week to die."

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the faces of the crowd that were gradually changing color.

He smiled indifferently, as if he didn't take these things to heart at all.

"I won't go into detail one by one."

"For rebels, extreme punishment should be used, otherwise more people will make this mistake in the future!"

"Father Emperor can choose one of the extreme punishments you like to deal with the rebels."

After Ying Ying Zi Ye introduced these extreme punishments.

The scene was terrifyingly silent.

You could hear a pin drop!

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with great surprise.

These extreme punishments sounded terrifying.

He didn't know where this kid got them.

But for Zhao Gao's crime, only extreme punishment could relieve his hatred.

If he simply killed Zhao Gao, the cost would be too low.

Wouldn't everyone dare to conspire for imperial power in the future?

The unheard-of extreme punishments made everyone's scalp tingle.

Just listening to it made one break out in a cold sweat.

But for heinous people, only these extreme punishments could be used.

This extreme punishment is truly terrifying.

One could imagine how miserable the person receiving this extreme punishment was.

Hiss...!

The surrounding officials gasped.

This is too ruthless, right?

Only now did everyone realize that Prince Ying Zi Ye was also a ruthless character.

And when introducing these extreme punishments, he was still indifferent.

How big must his heart be?

They felt their scalps tingle just listening to it once.

Who in the world would dare to try these extreme punishments?

Just hearing it was unbearable.

For this extreme punishment, everyone was terrified.

But it was just a commotion for a while.

Although this extreme punishment was extremely cruel, no one opposed it.

Because Great Qin originally governed the country by law.

The officials in the court were mostly from Legalist, Military, and other schools.

There were almost no Confucian schools that advocated benevolence.

And Chunyu Yue of the Confucian faction had been following the border because he was teaching Prince Fu Su.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with relief, feeling very satisfied; this kid had the same ruthlessness he had back then.

When enemies ride on your head like this, you should fight back like this.

Being kind to enemies is being cruel to yourself; he liked this kid's approach.

It seems he needs to pay more attention to this kid in the future.

This kid is not as useless as rumored.

Could it be that someone is deliberately slandering him?

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly; now is not the time to think about this.

After Zhao Gao finished listening to the introduction of the extreme punishment.

He was scared stupid.

His head was dizzy, his limbs were weak.

Then he struggled frantically.

This extreme punishment is too terrifying, and it is actually going to be used on him.

"Tyrant! Violent Qin!"

"You can't treat me like this!"

"How can you treat me like this?"

"All these years, I have worked hard even if I haven't had any achievements!"

Zhao Gao shouted, wanting to resist.

But his body was held tightly by the guards, unable to move.

Li Si observed the situation; the Ninth Prince said these things, and His Majesty was very satisfied.

Knowing that the wood was already a boat, it would not be changed again.

He was very satisfied with this handling method.

This handling was already a great mercy to him.
