Chapter 363
"What were you just saying?"
Let the people of these families babble, but Zhong Limei is unmoved.
In the end, the idea of the people of these families to use their power to overwhelm people not only failed to materialize, but instead offended Zhong Limei, a rising imperial star.
Glancing at the people of these families, Zhong Li said coldly.
The coldness in his eyes was even mixed with a trace of killing intent, which directly made the family who had some so much shiver in the past.
Don't look at Zhong Limei is just a young imperial general, but if you want to kill these people, it's just an easy task.
"General Zhongli, I just want General Zhongli not to burn these books that symbolize the development of civilization and have great value."
"That will be a catastrophe for the entire civilization. Please also ask General Zhong Li to be merciful and leave a little fire!"
The old man said with tears just now, it seems that there is a feeling of sadness for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.
However, Zhong Linmei still had an indifferent expression on his face, quietly watching the performances of these people.
"Symbolizing the development of civilization?
"It's a joke. Your Majesty has said before. This book burning is only for the burning of history books and ideological books. All farming, fishing, hunting, and divination and medical books are still preserved!"
"That is the flower of civilization that truly symbolizes the development of civilization. The empire needs a unified mind. Anyone who dares to block the unification of the empire's mind will be ruthlessly killed without mercy."
"And now these are all existences that have been banned by His Majesty and must be burned."
"Why, do you still want to disobey the oracle?"
Zhong Linmei sneered and said disdainfully and full of oppression.
For Zhong Limei, the order of His Majesty the Emperor is heaven. Anyone who dares to disobey His Majesty's order is disobeying the order of heaven. How can there be any reason to survive?
Under the punishment of heaven, there is no chance of life!
Looking at the indifference on Zhong Limei's face and the cold light in his eyes, and then looking at the right hand on the scabbard of the long sword on Zhong Limei's waist, all the family members shuddered and quickly begged for mercy.
"General Zhongli forgive me, General Zhongli forgive me!"
"Your Majesty will leave Chang'an as soon as possible. This old man really doesn't know that this is His Majesty's order. I also ask General Zhongli to forgive me."
"Yeah, if I knew that this was His Majesty's oracle, how could I have come to offend His Majesty's Tianwei, and asked General Zhongli to forgive me!"
"I also ask General Zhong Li to spare me waiting!"
All of a sudden, hundreds of people all panicked and begged for mercy.
They forgot, they forgot that the empire has crushing strength, and the family is not a clan, and has no confidence and capital to challenge the empire, and it is impossible to prevent any decision-making of the empire.
They forgot that the Empire was not the former Wei Dynasty and did not need to compromise with any forces.
They forgot that in the face of absolute strength, any offense against the empire is a mindless courting death.
Now that I think about it, it seems a little late.
"Also, don't let this general repeat it again, repeat what you just said!"
Facing the beggars of these family members, Zhong Limei sneered, and turned out to be biting his teeth.
Just now, just now, with a bone refining martial artist, Zhong Limei, who has a different feeling than ordinary people, knows what these family members are discussing, and his eyes no longer flash with coldness, but murderous intent.
"Please General Zhong Li not to burn the books?"
The old man said cautiously.
What he got was a negative answer from Zhong Limei, shaking his head.
Immediately, the old man's mind flashed like thunder, and the old face was first shocked and then fearful.
"Please forgive General Zhongli!"
Under the puzzled gazes of hundreds of family members, the old man named the head knelt down towards Zhong Limei, begging for mercy.
"Hehe, you also know that just now you dared to say that burning books is not worthy of the word "empire", and that the burning of books by the empire to unify ideology and culture is a barbaric act."
"You immortal thing, how can you slander and speculate about the empire, this general thinks that you are tired and crooked."
Obviously, the words of these family members in the past have seriously offended Zhong Limei.
For all the soldiers of the empire and countless citizens of the empire, the empire is their belief, their hope, and a powerful regime that will bring them a happy life.
But just now, these old guys who rely on the old and sell the old actually made unkind words to the empire and insulted the faith of the soldiers of the empire. Zhong Limei also sentenced these people to death in his heart.
Insulting oneself is fine, the man is not careful, but insulting the empire is not enough, that is courting death, this is the thought of millions of soldiers in the empire.
"None of them can be spared - kill!"
The voice of indifference sounded. At this moment, Zhong Limei was like a god of death. He issued a death sentence to these people, and also announced that these people are about to go to the end of their lives.
Hearing General Zhong Li's order, the thousands of imperial soldiers who followed Zhong Li to fight on the battlefield in both planes did not hesitate, and directly raised the butcher knife to these old people.
Countless imperial soldiers swarmed up and held them in groups, and then gradually contracted, the soldiers danced, blood and flesh flew, and the screams were endless.
In the whole scene, there were screams and curses everywhere, under the ruthless slaughter and harvest of the Qin soldiers.
The people of these families have realized how stupid it is for them to come here today.
But what's the use of thinking about it now?
"puff!"
With a fine iron spear piercing the old man's chest, the old man spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, but his eyes stared at Zhong Limei, terrifying and hideous: "Zhong Limei, you...you have to die!"
"Can't you die?"
"Hmph, old guy, I don't know when this general will die, but he will never die in front of you."
"You are old and not dead, you are extremely stupid. Today, the soldiers of the empire will send you on your way."
Zhong Limei directly ignored the grimness of the old man. In Zhong Limei's view, this was just a futile, dying struggle of the weak.
It seems that he was angry with Zhong Limei's words, and the old man rushed up against the blood.
Coupled with the sudden stirring of the spears in the hands of the Qin army soldiers behind him, the old man's heart was directly crushed, his vitality was cut off, and he died.
At this point, the last person in the scene who disobeyed the empire died, and when it was almost midnight outside Chang'an City, hundreds of ghosts were added.
"Buried alive on the spot!"
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Zhong Li gave an order indifferently.
In turn, Qin army officers and soldiers threw the hundreds of corpses into 20 or 30 big burning pits, and burned them together with the books.
In less than a while, a strange smell of meat came from dozens of big pits, and it was disgusting.
Since these people want to keep these books so much, let's go to Huangquan together!
By dawn, dozens of large pits had been completely filled in, and the surrounding blood had been completely treated, leaving no trace at all.
Few people know that just last night, more than 100,000 books were burned again, and a total of hundreds of people with high morals and respect from the major families in Chang'an City were killed by the Qin army here.
And those family members naturally guessed the result, but they were all silent and did not dare to speak.
The empire, since the departure of His Majesty the First Emperor, once again showed its sharp fangs, and the violent machine of the empire has once again changed people's tastes.
