Chapter 16

One must know that these two were not ordinary characters in Great Qin.

Now the ending of these two was too miserable.

Even Hu Hai, who was most likely to become Crown Prince, was demoted to a commoner because of this.

They were terrified, fearing that they would be next.

After all, someone recognized Prince Ying Zi Ye just now, but didn't dare to admit his identity.

Because of Zhao Gao's power, they didn't dare to stand up and salute.

Fearing that His Majesty's anger hadn't dissipated, he would take it out on them again.

If so, their death date would be here.

Ying Zheng turned around and entered the palace: "Prepare to return to the palace."

"Yes."

Many officials bowed and responded, no one dared to say a word.

After such a thing happened, His Majesty naturally had no intention of continuing the eastern tour.

Many officials also understood.

Even if there were objections, no one dared to say it.

At this juncture, whoever has objections dies.

The Qin Qin Shi Huang's voice is the only voice in Great Qin.

Subsequently—

Officials began to convey orders.

The entire eastern tour team began to prepare for the return to the palace in an orderly manner.

Noon.

The long team left the palace and headed toward Xianyang City.

And Zhao Gao was hung on a carriage, enduring the wind and sun...

And what happened here was spreading rapidly to all parties.

Along the way, there was always a "whimper" sound accompanying the Qin Qin Shi Huang's carriage.

As time passed, this "whimper" sound gradually became smaller.

It was Zhao Gao, who was subjected to the hanging cage extreme punishment.

And no one among the accompanying people pitied him.

Three days passed.

For these three days.

The accompanying officials and soldiers saw the horror of the hanging cage extreme punishment.

Although this extreme punishment was terrifying, they gradually became numb after seeing it more.

Along the way, the most they heard was the miserable whimper.

This was simply not a sound a human could make.

But it was indeed the sound made by Zhao Gao.

It was almost to the point of changing color when talking about "whimper."

On a carriage.

Zhao Gao was stripped naked and hung on the carriage.

His whole body was bruised, and he could no longer find a complete piece of skin.

The skin was like countless cuts made by silk threads.

Shocking!

Because his mouth was blocked, he could only make a whimper.

For these three days.

Under the scorching sun, Zhao Gao's body was severely dehydrated from the sun.

The skin burst, and blood covered his whole body.

And at night, he was hit by heavy rain.

Under the cold and heat, a foul smell faintly emanated from his body.

Except for his brain, which could still move, Zhao Gao only had a desperate look in his eyes.

This could no longer be called a human.

Too miserable.

At the beginning, in Zhao Gao's eyes, there would be resentment, unwillingness, and pain.

But as time passed, only regret and fear could be seen in his eyes.

Whenever the accompanying officials or soldiers saw Zhao Gao's hollow and godless eyes, they couldn't help but shiver.

Zhao Gao is too miserable now.

Unable to live and unable to die, this extreme punishment is truly terrifying!

Although Zhao Gao couldn't speak, a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

At this time, everyone realized that Zhao Gao had taken his last breath.

His skin was rotten, and he died after suffering, and he no longer looked like a human.

The accompanying officials and soldiers whispered.

"This hanging cage torture is too terrifying."

"If I were subjected to the hanging cage, I would choose to commit suicide immediately!"

"You think too much, if he could commit suicide, Zhao Gao would have committed suicide long ago."

"Prince Ying Zi Ye's extreme punishment is truly too terrifying!"

"Don't provoke anyone, don't provoke Prince Ying Zi Ye, otherwise you won't know how you died."

"This kind of extreme punishment is extremely terrifying and has never appeared in the Great Qin laws."

"It seems that Prince Ying Zi Ye is not as idle as the world thinks!"

The accompanying officials had very little impression of the Ninth Prince.

They only knew the rumored Ninth Prince was idle.

This Ninth Prince rarely appeared in everyone's sight.

It could also be said that their impression of the Ninth Prince before was all based on hearsay, not seen with their own eyes.

But now seeing the Ninth Prince's performance, it far exceeded their hearsay.

Because he exposed Zhao Gao's crimes and decided the fate of the three of them,

It can be seen that he is already highly valued by the Qin Qin Shi Huang and has a certain right to speak.

So, along the way, their attitude toward the Ninth Prince was much better.

Or intentionally or unintentionally showed kindness to the Ninth Prince.

No one wants to offend such a ruthless person.
