Chapter 40 I wonder if Dr. Chun is satisfied with my burning of books and burying of scholars?

Under Chunyu Yue's call, the emotions of the Confucian scholars were completely ignited!

They shouted and marched in the market like angry flames, shrouding the entire city of Xianyang in a tragic and sublime atmosphere! !

At this moment, Xianyang City is no longer an ordinary city, but a holy city full of struggle and hope!

In this holy city, the Confucian scholars used their actions and determination to declare to the world that they were willing to pay any price for the inheritance and continuation of the classics! !

Even if it means death or being torn to pieces, I will not hesitate!!!

This scene is so moving that everyone is moved!
However, right now!

A team of soldiers suddenly broke into the market. The sound of armor colliding and footsteps clanging instantly broke the discussions in the market!

The soldiers, holding spears and with expressionless faces, rushed straight towards the Confucian scholars!

"By order of the emperor! Arrest the Confucian scholars!!" the leader of a thousand generals shouted loudly, his voice cold and majestic.

Upon seeing this, the Confucian scholars panicked and fled in all directions!
However, the soldiers had already set up a tight net, and the Confucian scholars had nowhere to escape and could only surrender!

Chun Yuyue stepped forward, blocked the way in front of the soldiers, and shouted: "How can you be so rude! We are scholars, what crime have we committed?!"

The general sneered and replied: "You have gathered a crowd to cause trouble and attempted to obstruct the country's major plans. Your crime is unforgivable!"

"Surrender quickly and you can avoid physical pain!"

Chunyu Yue was furious when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do.

He knew very well that he and his men were outnumbered and could hardly compete with the imperial court.

He could only watch helplessly as the soldiers captured the Confucian scholars one by one, his heart filled with grief, indignation and helplessness.

The entire Xianyang city seemed to be shrouded in this solemn and murderous atmosphere, with panic-stricken people everywhere and every tree and grass looking like an enemy.

People closed their doors and windows and dared not go out!
The world was desolate, with only the sound of soldiers' armor and the cries of scholars interweaving together, forming a tragic and chaotic picture...

……

Ye Chi was in the restaurant, having eaten and drunk his fill, and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the waiter stepped forward and said, "Young Master, please wait a little longer. The world outside is in chaos. It is better to wait here for a while until the situation calms down before leaving."

Ye Chi smiled slightly when he heard this, but a hint of wildness flashed in his eyes: "Chaos? Ha, this world is not chaotic enough!!"

After saying that, he turned away and walked out of the restaurant with steady steps!

The waiter looked at his back, shook his head and sighed secretly, thinking that this young man was really not afraid of trouble.

Walking through the ancient streets of Xianyang, Ye Chi arrived in front of the prison of the Supreme Court, where the guards drew their swords and stopped him!
He had a blank expression on his face as he took out a token from his bosom. It was the token given to him by Fusu before, which allowed him to enter the eldest prince's mansion directly!
The guards were shocked when they saw this, and exchanged glances with each other, saying hurriedly, "So you are the distinguished guest of the eldest master's house. Excuse me, please wait a moment, I will go and inform you."

Ye Chi nodded indifferently, but sneered in his heart, and waited quietly.

After a while, the guard returned, his attitude had become extremely respectful, and he said, "Dear guest, please follow me."

Having said that, he led Ye Chi straight into the prison.

Ye Chi walked along with a calm expression, as if the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him. At this moment, the prison was even more gloomy and desolate.

Ye Chi appeared quietly, and wherever his eyes went, they were all the Confucian scholars who had just been captured.

They were either sitting or lying, dressed in tattered clothes, with pale faces and endless despair and fear in their eyes.

Inside the prison, wailing and crying sounds were heard one after another, just like hell on earth!
When some weak Confucian scholars saw Ye Chi coming, they seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. They knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged: "Sir, please save us! As long as you can let us see the light of day again, we are willing to give away our wealth and work like slaves for you! !"

Ye Chi watched coldly, a sneer on his face.

He glanced sharply at a corner of the prison and saw Chunyu Yue sitting there in silence, in stark contrast to the Confucian scholars around him who were wailing and begging for mercy.

Ye Chi walked forward, looked down at Chunyu Yue from a high position, and said in a playful tone: "Mr. Chunyu, are you okay?"

"I wonder if you are satisfied with my Heaven-Swallowing Poison Plan, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Chun Yuyue's face suddenly changed, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on him, and his eyes were filled with a burning fire of anger! !

He stood up suddenly, pointed at Ye Chi, and said in a trembling and indignant voice: "It's you!!! Ye Chi, why do you act like this?!"

Ye Chi seemed unusually calm in the face of Chunyu Yue's rage.

He smiled coldly, his eyes revealing a chill: "Chun Yuyue, do you remember how you bullied and humiliated me in the past?"

"Although I, Ye Chi, am not a saint, I know the difference between gratitude and resentment. I have said that I will make you Confucians pay back today's humiliation a hundredfold!!"

Chun Yuyue was even more furious when he heard this. He said with great sorrow, "Ye Chi, it's fine if you want to take revenge on me personally, but why do you want to involve Confucian classics? They are the crystallization of the wisdom of saints, passed down for thousands of years. How can they be destroyed in an instant because of your personal grudge?!!"

Ye Chi sneered indifferently: "The books of saints? Humph, they are just fig leaves for hypocrites! What is the use of such books in the world? They will only become shackles that imprison people's thoughts and hinder the people of the world from pursuing truth and freedom! ”

Chun Yuyue felt a surge of blood rushing to his head when he heard this. He pointed at Ye Chi, trembling all over: "You...you are so ignorant!!!"

"Confucian classics are the spiritual pillars of scholars all over the world. How can you be so contemptuous of them? You... you will definitely be punished by God!!"

Ye Chi was not moved at all. A mocking smile appeared on his lips: "God's punishment? Humph, I, Ye Chi, only want to do things with a clear conscience, so why should I fear God's punishment? It is you hypocrites who are full of benevolence and morality who are the real harm to the world!"

Chunyu Yue was struck by lightning when he heard Ye Chi's words. He was shocked and furious, and almost went crazy! !

His eyes were red as he stared at Ye Chi's back, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Ye Chi, you, such a treacherous person, will be punished by heaven! When General Tu Sui returns to the capital, that will be the day when your head and body will be separated!"

Ye Chi was unmoved. He did not stop walking, but just said calmly: "Don't worry, you are just the interest I collected in advance."

"Tu Sui will definitely lose!!"

After saying that, he turned and left, his sleeves fluttering, as if everything was under control! !

Chunyu Yue was so angry when he saw this!

He struggled frantically to break out of the prison, shouting loudly that he wanted to meet His Majesty and expose Ye Chi's evil plan.

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty!! All of this is Ye Chi's evil scheme! Ye Chi has harmed me! He has harmed Confucianism! He has harmed millions of Confucian scholars!!"
