Chapter 35

Then its limbs twitched, it foamed at the mouth, and gradually its body stopped moving.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

A moment ago, the little rabbit was still jumping around.

But the next moment, it was dead!

It died so suddenly.

At this moment—

Everyone looked at Lu Sheng and the other two.

Lu Sheng's face turned pale, and he thought to himself that it was over.

The rabbit died right after eating the Jin Dan.

Then they would all have to die too!

Forget about going out to sea.

Even their entire families would have to die along with them!

The civil and military officials in the Qilin Hall were stunned.

It took a long time for them to react.

"This is the longevity Jin Dan refined by the alchemists??"

"What kind of Jin Dan is this? The little rabbit died just a moment after eating it?!"

"A little rabbit died in just a short moment; this is truly poison!"

"Highly toxic! This is highly toxic!"

"Damn it, longevity pill? This is simply a lethal poison!"

"Heavens, no wonder Your Majesty's health has been declining day by day; it turns out this Jin Dan is the culprit!"

"These alchemists deserve to die!"

"Daring to plot against the sovereign, even exterminating their three clans wouldn't be enough to vent our anger!"

The court officials were filled with righteous indignation.

Some couldn't hold back, and as they spoke, they rushed forward.

They directly began to punch and kick Lu Sheng and the three alchemists.

The three of them tried to resist, but they were beaten by military generals like Li Xin and Wang Li until they had no power to fight back.

A group of princes also wanted to go up and kick them a few times.

But they gave up when they saw they couldn't squeeze in.

When the officials finally stopped.

Lu Sheng and the others were beaten so badly that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.

"Enough! In the imperial court, making such a racket, what kind of decorum is this!"

Ying Zheng roared, and an invisible imperial aura erupted violently.

The vast morning court hall was filled with Qin Shi Huang's overbearing imperial presence.

Everyone was suppressed by this aura.

They only felt it difficult to breathe and bowed involuntarily.

It shows just how terrifying Qin Shi Huang's anger is.

The civil and military officials quieted down in an instant.

Your Majesty had been framed by these alchemists and had been eating poison for so long.

One can see just how furious he must be right now.

"Lu Sheng, do you have anything else to say?"

The three of them crawled up from the ground.

They no longer looked like human beings.

Having been beaten by a crowd until they had no strength to fight back.

Their clothes were tattered, and some were torn to shreds.

They were nearly beaten to death alive.

The three of them knelt on the ground with difficulty again, kowtowing incessantly.

They didn't dare to stop even as their heads bled.

They didn't expect that something would go wrong in their final scam.

If they had known, they would never have dared to come and advise Qin Shi Huang.

They probably would have quit and run away long ago.

Hindsight is always 20/20!

"Wang Li, hear my order!"

"This general is here!"

Wang Li walked in from the crowd, bowing and cupping his hands to wait for the order.

"Kill all the alchemists in Xianyang City!"

"Waist-chop! Cart-pulling! Decapitation!"

"This general accepts the decree!"

Wang Li was trembling with excitement.

He had long found these alchemists to be an eyesore.

Relying on the favor of Your Majesty, they had been acting arrogantly in Xianyang City.

This time, he could finally give the people of Xianyang City an answer.

Now he could finally wield his blade against them.

Wang Li waved his hand, and the soldiers waiting outside the hall rushed in.

They dragged Lu Sheng and the others out.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"Your Majesty, this humble one will never dare again!!"

"Spare my life!"

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were incomparably cold; those who dare to harm him must die!

He was too lazy to even interrogate them.

Lu Sheng and the others definitely wouldn't be able to find Xu Fu.

Xu Fu ran away without even taking them along.

Perhaps there was some hidden story behind this.

But it didn't matter; if there's a chance to meet him in the future, he'll settle the score then!

"Meng Yi!"

"This minister is here!"

Shangqing Meng Yi hurried out of the ranks.

Now is the moment of Your Majesty's rage, so one must be extremely cautious.

"Proclaim to the world, all alchemists are to be executed without mercy!"

"By the way, proclaim the crimes of Zhao Gao and Li Si to the world as well!"

"This minister accepts the decree!"

Meng Yi withdrew to issue the orders.

The civil and military officials were terrified.

When an Emperor is angry, a million corpses fall!

Outside the great hall, the wails and screams of Lu Sheng and the others could be heard.

This sound lasted for a full cup of tea's time before it stopped.

It made the faces of the civil and military officials in the Qilin Hall turn pale.

They didn't even realize their bodies were soaked in cold sweat.

They didn't expect General Wang Li to take action right outside the hall.

And this was the waist-chop!
