Chapter 969 Qin Zhou Biography 20

"You want to execute a palace maid by slow slicing for a minor mistake. Isn't this a disregard for human life? I'm killing you just for the sake of the people and to enforce justice!"

Hearing this, Qin Zhou and Yuan Bao looked at each other and knew who Xiao Zongzi was talking about.

Qin Zhou leaned over and asked with interest: "What minor crime did the palace maid you said was going to be executed by slow slicing commit?"

She had just tried the eunuch who had an affair with the rebels yesterday, but she didn't expect that the man was actually planted by the rebels, and she sentenced him to death by slow slicing along with the rebels.

Little Zongzi's expression changed a little, and he glanced to one side and said, "It's just some connections with people outside the palace, isn't it a minor crime?"

When Eunuch Yuanbao heard this, he sneered: "It's just some connections with people outside the palace, you can say it. It's obviously for his own selfish desires to sell the hunting ground map. Not only that, he also gave the whereabouts of His Majesty to those assassins, and conspired with those assassins to harm His Majesty. Fortunately, His Majesty is blessed by heaven, so he is safe. Such a crime of treason, if it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, he should have been executed directly!"

"No, it's not that serious! He just wants to make some money to treat his seriously ill mother at home. Besides, aren't you sitting here safely now! Why should he be sentenced, and the most cruel and inhumane punishment of lingchi death!" Little Zongzi argued loudly, but his heart had already been shaken, and he was not very confident.

"You...what is the relationship between that person and you? He actually bewitched you so much!" Eunuch Yuanbao was about to explode with anger. Little Zongzi was a newcomer who came last month, only fourteen or fifteen years old. He looked smart and clever, so he kept him by his side to train him. He didn't expect him to be so stubborn and his head was full of mud.

What he said at the gate of Fan Qingyi's yard that day was not ignorant at all, but he clearly had an opinion on Fan Qingyi, the hero who saved His Majesty.

"He didn't bewitch me. As long as I can successfully kill the Qin thief, he can avoid this unprovoked disaster." Little Zongzi bit his lower lip and glared at Qin Zhou: "Now that the matter has been exposed, I, Little Zongzi, admit defeat. It's up to you, the dog emperor, to decide how to deal with him."

"In that case, Your Majesty, I beg you to sentence him to death by slow slicing, so that they can be companions." Eunuch Yuanbao sneered.

"You... I always thought of you as my master, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. Not only did you help the empress, but you also had such a vicious mind! I really misjudged you!" Little Zongzi's face turned red and his hands and feet trembled after hearing what Yuanbao said.

He originally thought that if he could successfully kill Qin Zhou in this assassination, it would be fine. Even if he couldn't kill him, Yuanbao would help him plead for mercy because of their relationship as a master. After all, everyone said that Yuanbao was soft-hearted and easy to talk to. In fact, Yuanbao had been very tolerant of him before.

But now, he didn't expect that it was Yuanbao himself who wanted to execute him by slow slicing.

"Since ascending the throne, Your Majesty has worked hard to govern the country. Not only has He calmed down conflicts with neighboring countries, but He has also opened up trade routes. He has saved countless people from the suffering of war and saved countless poor people. Everyone knows that Your Majesty is the wise ruler of our Great Qin and the savior of our Great Qin! And you, you keep saying that you are doing this for the people and that you are doing justice for the heavens. Have you ever really considered the people? Ridiculous! Since you want to murder Your Majesty for your own selfish desires, you should be aware of this." Eunuch Yuanbao was so angry that he laughed. What made him most angry was that he didn't know people well enough.
