Chapter 1863
"This man dared to plot against His Majesty; his crimes are heinous!"
"This man's crimes are monstrous; having his three clans executed would be a light punishment!"
The soldiers under the prisoner cart loudly condemned Xu Fu's various crimes.
The citizens on the street heard that this man was named Xu Fu and was an alchemist.
Many people didn't know what this man did.
But upon hearing that he had once plotted against His Majesty, this was a capital offense.
There were also people present who knew of this person, Xu Fu.
After all, the commotion caused by the alchemists back then had not been small.
Xianyang City had also slaughtered hundreds of alchemists because of it.
Alchemists had thus become extinct in Great Qin.
All alchemists had hidden their names and didn't dare to show their faces again, hiding away one after another.
Now this Xu Fu could be considered the chief culprit.
The crowd on the street was bustling, pointing fingers at Xu Fu.
"I said, why did I see so many children outside the city just now, at least several thousand children."
"So it was because of this Xu Fu! He once left with three thousand boys and girls."
"Now this Xu Fu has finally been captured and brought back?"
"It was this man who almost killed our Emperor!"
"Smash him to death!"
"Smash him to death!"
The citizens on the street were angry.
If it weren't for His Majesty, how could they have such a good life now?
If it weren't for His Majesty, they wouldn't even be able to fill their stomachs at this time.
If it weren't for His Majesty, their lives wouldn't be so good.
If it weren't for His Majesty...
The citizens held rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in their hands and threw them at Xu Fu.
Before long, Xu Fu began to stink.
Those rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other items were all thrown at Xu Fu.
Even small children picked up small stones.
Xu Fu was smashed until he was dizzy, and when he was hit by small stones, even his head bled.
Later on, some people were still not satisfied, and they even brought out feces.
And splashed it onto Xu Fu.
Xu Fu was drenched, and a foul odor could be smelled from far away.
He had never thought there would be such a day.
That he, a once high-and-mighty alchemist, would fall to such a state.
"You are all too much!!!"
"I am so angry! Ah!"
Xu Fu roared, but the next moment he didn't dare to open his mouth.
"Cough, cough..."
The fecal water was splashed directly into his mouth by some wicked person.
This made him feel like he was about to vomit his bile.
"This bastard still dares to roar at us."
"Everyone, smash and splash! Beat him to death!"
The masses were angry, and more eggs and vegetable leaves were thrown at Xu Fu as if they were free.
Xu Fu on the prisoner cart was almost buried by these vegetable leaves.
But Xu Fu didn't dare to open his mouth again.
Once he opened his mouth, fecal water would fall into it.
It was as if someone was staring at his mouth.
As long as he dared to open his mouth, fecal water would definitely enter it.
He was so scared that he didn't dare to open his mouth again.
The prisoner cart was pulled slowly.
Everywhere it passed, all the citizens 'took care' of Xu Fu.
It was simply like a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.
By the time the prisoner cart arrived at the West Gate from the Dongmen.
Xu Fu had lost half his life.
He wasn't afraid of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.
He wasn't afraid of fecal water either; it was just a bit smelly.
But he was afraid of stones!
Many children threw stones at him, smashing his head until it bled.
Even some adults were no exception.
This caused him to bleed continuously.
If the parade continued, he didn't know how long he could hold on.
"Our mission is from the Dongmen to the West Gate, and then from the South Gate to the North Gate."
"Now we have only walked through two gates, and there are still two gates left."
"And this Xu Fu has already become like this."
"This... should we stop for a while?"
"If he is smashed to death, we won't be able to answer for it!"
"The higher-ups don't want him to die so quickly."
The soldiers guarding the prisoner cart became somewhat conflicted.
They had completely underestimated the citizens' hatred for Xu Fu.
If this continued, Xu Fu would probably be smashed to death after walking another stretch of road.
At that time, they wouldn't be able to answer to the higher-ups.
"Stopping is definitely not an option; the parade must continue."
"Otherwise, if the higher-ups blame us, we won't be able to bear the responsibility."
"Then what should we do?"
"If he is smashed to death later, will you be responsible?"
The soldiers had conflicting opinions and were about to start arguing.
"Don't argue yet; look and see if this will work."
A soldier suddenly spoke, and the other soldiers looked over.
"I'll just say it; whether it works or not is up to you."
This soldier was a newcomer, so he was a bit timid when speaking.
The other soldiers didn't speak, because they had no better method.
"The parade should continue, but we can remind the citizens not to use stones to smash him."
"Otherwise, we won't be able to answer to the higher-ups."
"As long as we keep an eye on the citizens and don't let them take stones to smash him, it will be fine."
"As for feces, water, rotten eggs, and rotten vegetable leaves, we can't control that."
"Anyway, those things won't kill anyone, don't you think so?"
After the soldier finished speaking, he looked at the other soldiers, very much wanting to gain their approval.
The soldiers were silent for a while.
Then someone agreed with this method.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what should be done; why didn't we think of that?"
