Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Li Si looked at this scene with a complicated expression, thinking that his senior brother was still as hateful of evil as ever. When dealing with bad guys, he would always give them a glimmer of hope, and then destroy them mercilessly in the end.

Teng Kan's expression remained unchanged, at this moment he was determined to die. He would applaud Su Xuan for handling the case impartially and dealing with Yan Le, and he thought it was normal for them to collude with each other, and he would not be too disappointed because he was used to it.

Now he just wants to see the person he wants to see as soon as possible.

He faced the grave and drenched in the snow, and this life can be considered as a life of white hair!

"I do have a good relationship with Zhao Gao." Su Xuan nodded with a smile, but he said the most cruel and ruthless words, "So when you execute me, I will let him supervise it personally!"

"Lord Zhao is well versed in the laws of the empire and is the most loyal supporter of the empire. I believe he will not bend the law for personal gain. Even if you are his son-in-law, he will only sacrifice his relatives for the greater good!"

"You!" Yan Le's face turned pale. He knew his father-in-law's character very well and knew that he would really abandon him. Thinking of his final fate, his legs trembled. "Devil, you are a devil, kill me! Kill me!!"

He struggled frantically and shouted loudly, but with his hands and feet bound by chains, he couldn't make any waves at all.

In order to prevent him from committing suicide, the yamen runners beside him even stuffed a rag into his mouth.

He was taken directly to the Xianyang Prison by the bailiffs. Coincidentally, the prisoner next to him was none other than Zhao Bu, the commander of the armory. He whimpered twice and was about to say hello to him when he discovered that Zhao Bu began to foam at the mouth, cover his throat, and twitch all over. Yan Le, who enjoyed abusing people, could tell at a glance that this was a sign of being poisoned. He swallowed hard and felt that his death was probably not far away.

Teng Kan, as a murderer, was also imprisoned. Su Xuan agreed to his last request, which was to bury him and Lu'er together after executing Yan Le.

After finishing his work, Su Xuan left Yanwei Mansion.

Not long after he left, Li Si learned the news of Zhao Bu's death. His face was solemn and he immediately went to the prison to check the details.

That afternoon, Li Si set out for Zhangtai Palace and reported everything about the poisoning of Zhao's troops, the smuggling of arms, and dereliction of duty by Yan Le.

When Zhao Gao heard that Yan Le was captured by Su Xuan, a sinister look flashed in his lowered eyes.

It's not that he didn't take action against Su Xuan. He had spoken ill of Su Xuan in front of Ying Zheng. At that time, Ying Zheng stopped the government affairs in his hands and looked at him expressionlessly for a long time, which scared him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Ying Zheng told him that if he wanted to continue to stay with him, he should not say such things in the future.

His trust and respect for Su Xuan completely exceeded the boundaries between the monarch and his subjects. From then on, Zhao Gao knew that he could never compete with Su Xuan in front of Ying Zheng.

He was waiting for Su Xuan to make a mistake, but Su Xuan was blatantly cutting off his power!

This is too much! Zhao Gao, who was very good at forbearance, was also a little bit defeated and cursed in his heart.

Looking at the case with both witnesses and evidence, Zhao Gao knew that there was no room for maneuver. He felt very disappointed and mentally made a note of Su Xuan.

After reading the list of personnel, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si expressionlessly, "Since they want to test whether the Qin sword is sharp, then let them do it!"

"Catch them all and execute them immediately. If they resist, it will be considered as treason and their entire clan will be exterminated!"

"Yes!" Facing the majestic Ying Zheng, Li Si didn't even dare to breathe during the solo concert.

“As for the matter of Zhao’s army, investigate it with all your strength and inform me as soon as you find the murderer.” Ying Zheng’s eyes were deep, revealing a hint of disappointment.

Mi Xiang, if you dare to do this, you must have already taken care of everything, right? Since you want to play, I will play with you!

"Your Majesty, I have a humble request." Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and pleaded during the break in their conversation.

"Speak." Ying Zheng looked down at him, his eyes moving slightly.

Is this an appeal for his son-in-law?

"Your Majesty is a virtuous monarch. The punishment of being a pig is too cruel. I am afraid that it will damage your reputation for benevolence and righteousness. I beg Your Majesty to change the punishment of being a pig to immediate execution." Zhao Gao applied what he learned from Confucianism in a practical way. However, he only learned the basics and made Ying Zheng unhappy.

"Virtue? Benevolence? I am a benevolent ruler only to those who are loyal to me and abide by the law. As for those who commit crimes and betray the empire, do they deserve my forgiveness? They deserve it!" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao coldly and said, "Virtue and benevolence are the reputation you have established for me, not the high wall you have built to restrain me."

"Zhao Gao, are you teaching me how to do things?"

Zhao Gao prostrated himself on the ground, feeling as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and said in fear, "I dare not."

Li Si, who was standing aside, was terrified and swallowed his saliva carefully, thinking it was too scary.

He stood there with his head down, not daring to move. It was a while before he heard Ying Zheng's voice.

"Please, then do it. Don't try to show off your little tricks in front of me." Ying Zheng's tone became much calmer. "The law is ruthless, but people are kind. It is human nature for you to plead for your son-in-law. I understand."

Looking at Zhao Gao, who had served him loyally and made great contributions, Ying Zheng finally softened his heart and agreed to his request.

In the evening of that day, the execution platform was filled with people, and all of them were beheaded. The blood flowed all over the ground, which greatly deterred those officials with evil intentions.

After Yan Le died, Teng Kan also committed suicide by taking poison. When he died, there was a smile on his face.

Li Si fulfilled his last request and buried him and Lu'er together.

Chapter 169 Wu Kuang is injured

Farmer's family, Kuiwei Hall.

"Wu Kuang, who hurt you? Tell me, and my whole Kuiwei Hall will seek justice for you!" Looking at the disfigured Wu Kuang, Chen Sheng's eyes were filled with anger and his temper flared up.

A half-foot long sword wound went from Wu Kuang's left eyebrow, through the bridge of his nose, to his right cheek.

After a moment of silence, Wu Kuang said in a deep voice, "This is my personal matter, so don't worry about it, brother."

"Is it that woman Tian Mi? I'm going to kill her right now!" Chen Sheng picked up the Juque and was going to settle the score with Tian Mi with great momentum.

"It has nothing to do with her!" Wu Kuang hurriedly explained.

"Then who caused your injury?" Chen Sheng walked up to Wu Kuang and asked.

Wu Kuang's thoughts were in a mess, and he couldn't help but think of the afternoon a few days ago.

That day, he didn't find Tian Mi in Qingfeng Hall, so he went to her residence and searched almost every farmhouse, but he didn't expect to meet Tian Mi on the way back to Kuiwei Hall.

She was wearing a white shirt and short skirt, like a slowly blooming lily. It was the first time that Wu Kuang discovered that Tian Mi was so pure and lovely.

Although she was dressed conservatively, she was more attractive than before. There seemed to be a touch of charm between her brows and her eyes were as clear as water. Just one look at her made his heart flutter.

Facing such a Tian Mi, he even had trouble speaking clearly.

He asked his doubts. Originally, he wanted to ask Tian Mi whether she was already Su Xuan's woman, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his way of saying it in a more euphemistic way and asked her whether she had fallen in love with Su Xuan.

Tian Mi answered decisively, without any hesitation, his first reaction was that it was impossible.

He was unwilling to believe this fact. Although Tian Mi used to wear revealing clothes and the farmers were full of rumors about her, from beginning to end, no one had ever had any actual relationship with her.

Even though he and Tian Meng had been pursuing each other for several years, there had been no real progress. If it was true as the rumors said, how could it be possible?

In his heart, Tian Mi has always been a good girl who keeps herself clean.

There is no way she could have had an intimate relationship with a man she just met in just a few days. She must have been coerced! She must have some unspeakable secret!

He asked Tian Mi to tell him, and then patted his chest and promised to help her solve everything. Under his concern, Tian Mi's eyes were finally moved, but she still refused. Wu Kuang felt that he was only one step away from the truth, so he would naturally not let her leave. In a state of excitement, he blocked her way and wanted to force her to stay. However, he did not expect that there was a swordsman master hiding in secret. It was only because he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been beheaded at this moment.

Looking back now, he still feels that he was too reckless. His appearance must have scared Tian Mi, so it was understandable that she asked someone to take action.

......

An elegant residence for resting in the backyard of Qingfeng Hall.

"My Lord Prime Minister, fortunately you sent someone to protect me, otherwise you would not be able to see me." Tian Mi pretended to cry and threw herself into Su Xuan's arms and cried.

Su Xuan pretended to be angry, "Who bullied my Mi'er? I will grind him to dust!"

Today, after Su Xuan came over, Tian Mi changed into a new set of clothes.

She wore a pink patterned off-shoulder silk top on the upper body and a light blue tulle slit skirt on the lower body, which was charming and attractive.

Tian Mi complained, "Who else could it be? It must be Wu Kuang, the chief steward of Kuiwei Hall."

"I have clearly told him that I like the Prime Minister, but he still pesters me. It's really annoying!" Tian Mi said pitifully, "I wanted to leave, but he stopped me and wouldn't let me go, saying he would help me solve everything. What do I need him to solve? I just want him to get out of my sight as soon as possible. I tried to persuade him with kind words, but he refused to give in and even wanted to make a move on me!"

"It's really abominable! I asked Yingyi to teach him a lesson." She grabbed Su Xuan's collar and pretended to be weak. "If it weren't for the Prime Minister's arrangement, what would have happened? I really can't imagine it."

"Wuwuwu..." She sobbed softly, "I'm really scared."

"But after the Prime Minister came, I am not afraid at all." She stared at Su Xuan, her pair of peach blossom eyes full of rain were extremely charming and full of temptation.

Su Xuan naturally knew that Tian Mi was a drama queen, but this woman was just too good at it and could always provide him with sufficient emotional value, so that was why he often came to the farm.

"Do you need me to help you deal with Tian Meng and Wu Kuang?" Su Xuan asked casually, "You can also take this opportunity to take the position of the head of the Sixth Hall of the Farmer Family."

Tian Mi shook her head. "The Prime Minister's important matter is important. If they are all killed, the farmers will inevitably fall into turmoil and everyone will be in danger. This will be detrimental to the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes."

"On the other hand, even if the position of the Sixth Hall Master of the Farmer Family is vacant, considering seniority, I'm afraid it won't be my turn."

“But after a year, it’s different.”

Tian Mi looked at Su Xuan who was about to speak, stretched out her index finger with nail polish, and placed it on his lips, "I know that the Prime Minister is concerned about me. I can always feel the Prime Minister's intentions."

"Although my martial arts skills are not very strong, if I want to leave, not many people can stop me. In addition, Yingyi is protecting me in secret, so Lord Xiangguo can rest assured."

"I heard that the Prime Minister will be leading the army soon. When I think that I won't be able to see him for a long time..., I, I..."

"What?" Su Xuan lifted her chin and asked with a smile.

Tian Mi stared at Su Xuan with her moist eyes and said boldly, "I just want to spend more time with the Prime Minister."

......

Wu Kuang, who was originally in Kuiwei Hall, felt that he was too impulsive after calming down. He couldn't help but feel regretful, so he came to Qingfeng Hall and prepared to apologize to Tian Mi in person.

But when he just reached the inner courtyard, the six sword slaves stopped him.

"Even if I die, I will never surrender!" Faintly, he seemed to hear Tian Mi's voice.

He looked excited, thinking that if it was true, Tian Mi was indeed forced!

He must help her! He believed that sooner or later she would be moved by him!

After getting the answer, Wu Kuang left satisfied.

Chapter 170 Outing

The Prime Minister's Mansion has become much more lively since Zi Nu and Nong Yu moved in.

In his spare time, Su Xuan would also play some small games from later generations with them.

"Three barrels!"

"bump!"

"Yaoji!"

"eat!"

In the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Xuan, Jing Wei, Zi Nu and Nong Yu were sitting together playing mahjong.

After paper and glass appeared, Su Xuan created playing cards and mahjong for entertainment.

Originally, he had made a Werewolf card game. After introducing the rules to the three girls, they played a few rounds. Although he had a lot of fun, he always felt that something was missing.

He thought that maybe it was because there were not enough people. Once Xue Nu, Yan Ling Ji, Madam Ming Zhu and the others moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion and there were twelve of them, it would surely be much more fun to play together.

"It's a mess!" Nanyue poured the cards down and smiled.

"I just got a bad hand, are you so happy?" Su Xuan thought that if he hadn't played it on purpose, he didn't know when Nong Yu would get a bad hand again.

"Of course. After all, it's Big Brother Su Xuan who played the cards, so it's double, hehe." She giggled happily.

The people playing cards naturally prepared prizes, but the money was not much, they just played for fun.

Su Xuan didn't try to be modest, but for a player like Nong Yu who didn't win a single hand after two rounds, Su Xuan couldn't bear to see her like that, so he deliberately played the card she was going to win.

Su Xuan still knew how to take proper care of their emotions.

"Do you want to go out for a walk together?" Su Xuan suggested as he saw the beautiful spring scenery.

"Okay!" Nong Yu was the first to respond, her eyes curved into crescents, "Brother Su Xuan said before that he would take me and Sister Zi Nu to go for an outing, and I've always remembered it."

Su Xuan smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I haven't forgotten it either."

It was just that he wanted Nongyu to be with him at that time, but this silly girl always wanted to bring Zinu along, and as a result, the three of them really slept in the same bed. It can only be said that the world is a wonderful place.

Zi Nu raised a smile. After knowing that Su Xuan was going to lead the army to war, she put aside some less important matters for the time being and enjoyed the rare warm time together.

Jingwei touched her lower abdomen and looked at Zinu and Nongyu with gratitude. She got along quite well with them and received a lot of care from them.

Most importantly, they can help serve their husbands.

"Husband, the three of you go together. I'm pregnant and can't move around easily so I can't go for the time being." Jingwei said with a smile.

She wanted to give the three of them a chance to be alone together, so that they wouldn't have to worry about anything and could do whatever they wanted.

"What? You don't even listen to me?" Su Xuan held her soft, boneless hand, his face solemn.

"Sister Jingwei, you should come with us. If you are left alone at home, your husband will inevitably worry about you. How can you have fun then?" Zi Nu was very good at handling such matters. "Sister Jingwei, just be careful when you are out and about."

Jingwei held Su Xuan's large hand with his backhand and nodded slightly.
