The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Wang Yuanya: “…”

Zhang Xiaolan: “???”

No, the two of them were really confused by Li Jize's actions.

How big of a blow was it to them to pretend not to see it before? How come they changed their tactics in the blink of an eye?

I can’t guess! I really can’t guess this Li Jize.

"You two, get ready to follow me!"

Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

It has come to this point, and it is still on Li Jize's territory, so they have no choice, right?

Soon, when the two of them arrived at the Qin Palace under the guidance of the old eunuch...

"Ah! Ah!"

Waves of shrill screams rang out continuously, accompanied by the sound of whips lashing.

Zhang Xiaolan and Wang Yuanya were both frightened. They were puzzled and asked the eunuch what he was doing.

The old eunuch's response was, "The King of Qin is interrogating the assassin from before!"

Wang Yuanya: “…”

Zhang Xiaolan: “…”

Soon, they were taken to a special courtyard in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, where they saw a shocking scene.

I saw Qin Wang Li Jize, wearing "ordinary clothes" and holding a book in his hands, sitting on a platform in front, drinking tea and reading. On the other side, the assassins who had previously assassinated Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan were tied to pillars and continuously whipped.

Miserable! That is quite miserable!

With one whip, not only the clothes were torn, but also the skin and flesh underneath the clothes.

This scene made Zhang Xiaolan shudder with fear and got goose bumps all over her body.

She admitted! Before coming in, she had some special ideas.

but now……

Seeing the cruel and insane Li Jize and those brutal "cruel officials", she had no idea what to do.

But Wang Yuanya couldn't stand it!

Why? How cute was my silly husband before?

But now, how could he be whipping the prisoner here, with blood all over his body, while he could still read a book so calmly and calmly over there?

"Why? Why are you doing this?"

Suddenly, Wang Yuanya shouted directly, not only stopping the "cruel official" from whipping, but also Li Jize stopped his actions.

At this moment, he was holding a book in his right hand and a teacup in his left hand, and looked at Wang Yuanya strangely.

then……

"Suck~"

After returning to normal, he brought the teacup to his mouth and took a sip...

He calmly put down his teacup and flipped through a book before speaking, "Why? They assassinated you two, and on my territory. Shouldn't I be interrogating them?"

As a result, Wang Yuanya became anxious, "You don't have to use this method, you can talk to them nicely!"

Li Jize: “???”

Zhang Xiaolan: “…”

Cruel officials: “???”

Even those assassins: "..."

No! This woman suddenly couldn't do anything to Li Jize.

Am I being nosy? Shouldn't the assassins have killed them?

Zhang Xiaolan next to her also felt that the atmosphere was a bit bad. She didn't understand how Wang Yuanya's train of thought was working, and how she could say these words without laughing.

She could only pull Wang Yuanya in private and signal her to stop talking.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanya ignored her and instead pressed on, "You used to be very kind, albeit foolish and silly. But now you're smart and normal, yet you're so cruel! How could you do this?"

"enough!"

Li Jize finally couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table.

What the hell is this era? How can there still be a saintly attitude in such a chaotic world?

"The things you so-called righteous army did were thousands, tens of thousands, of times worse than what I did! What's the matter? In your eyes, murder, arson, robbery, and extermination of entire families are all just. I, Li Jize, am merely interrogating a few prisoners here, and yet I am condemned by heaven and earth as an unforgivable criminal?"

Lean north on me!

The previous empress was like this, and Wang Yuanya is still like this now.

Humans are really a very strange animal!

Be lenient to bad people and harsh to good people.

A bad guy does a hundred bad things, and then suddenly one day he does a good thing. Everyone goes to praise him and thinks he has put down his butcher knife.

But even if a good person does ten thousand good things, as long as he does one bad thing, everyone will definitely scold him.

why?

Because everyone knows that he is a good person. You have to have your own moral standards. How can you do bad things?

The same goes for Li Jize. You are the General of Heavenly Strategy, you are the King of Qin! How could you do these things?

Then, the fate of being a "good guy" is that the empress wants to crush him and use him as a tool. Wang Yuanya wants to morally blackmail him and force him to fight against the barbarians for the sake of national justice.

What was the result of Li Jize's trip?

He did seize a lot of spoils, food, and people, but compared to the entire South, he suffered a huge loss.

If Li Jize had been more evil and shameless, what the hell was national justice? What was the point of not starting a civil war?

Get out of the way!

First, go to the South and chop off the heads of those guys who are trying to decentralize power. Then, hold high the banner of "Grand Marshal of the Army of the World" and integrate the entire South.

With the resources in the south, and Li Jize's scientific knowledge and weapons that were ahead of his time, it would be easy for him to march north to unify the entire Great Qi!

But now?

How passive is Li Jize now? He has lost everything except "national justice".

By North!

Just because of Wang Yuanya’s words “for the sake of the nation”, the plan was abruptly disrupted!

Now you are trying to blackmail me morally for the sake of the assassin?

Wang Yuanya scolded him, "You're wrong! My brothers and I in the righteous army have never done evil. We... everything we do is for the unity of the world! For justice!"

Li Jize was stunned, pouting, with a face full of "black question marks".

The cruel officials and even the assassins nearby were stunned!

Isn’t it?

When did the rebels become so great? Did they rebel for the "great cause of the world," for the sake of universal peace?

Li Jize's face darkened, and he slammed the table, shouting, "Ridiculous! What do you mean by universal peace? When has universal peace ever been achieved? When Li Zhenbei was robbing money and food, looting and extorting money, did he ever give a cent to the poor? When he was using ordinary people as cannon fodder, did he ever think of the word righteousness?"

Ah this...

The cruel officials and assassins deceived us again!

Wang Yuanya is a weirdo, and the King of Qin is also a weirdo.

You summoned Li Zhenbei's envoy and tortured the assassin on the spot. Aren't you trying to ally with him? Aren't you trying to give him an explanation?

But aren't you a little "crazy" to point at the other party's envoy and scold the force she represents as worse than pigs and dogs?
