Chapter 312 Preparing for Execution (Second Update)
Lao Hei asked him to ignore government affairs, maybe because he knew that he was inferior in this aspect. How can the loyalty, treachery, good and evil of officials be explained by one incident? What's more, it's the emperor. With Wu Chen's little historical knowledge, there are only a few ancient emperors that he can name. Are the remaining hundreds of emperors not good enough or bad enough?
Wu Chen’s sympathy at this moment was due to his understanding of Li Heng’s fatigue at this moment. A high-ranking emperor was actually surrounded by enemies on all sides. On the one hand, he wanted to build a powerful country, but on the other hand, he had to be wary of someone stabbing him in the back. If his closest relatives can’t be trusted, who can he trust? Is the road to becoming a strong country so easy?
"I am afraid that their bodies will not be able to withstand a few sword blows. I have ordered Chen Zhong and Yuan Shuchun to be tortured with eight swords. In this way, you don't have to worry about whether they can survive through noon." , someone just came to report that Chen Zhong has Yuan Shuchun was so frightened that he went crazy because of the lack of water and rice. You only need to see if they have left, and then go to the palace to check carefully at night..."
Li Heng said with a long sigh, and then said ：
"Today is the day of the massacre. We must find something happy to celebrate. You have done a great job this time. The fifth princess has also reached the age of marriage proposal. Since you don't want to be the prince's teacher, it is not a loss to be the prince's consort." I've lost you..."
The sympathy in Wu Chen's heart disappeared in an instant. His eyebrows almost stood up and he asked: "Is the fifth princess your biological child? "
Li Heng was also anxious: "The fifth princess is the legitimate daughter of me and the queen!"
"Since we are biological children, what did you do to me when you pushed her into the fire pit? Don’t you know? I have corpse poison in my body. Have you forgotten that I might die at the claws of an evil spirit someday? "
Li Heng was stunned.
"Firstly, I don't have a lot of knowledge, secondly, I don't have a prominent family, and thirdly, I have no military exploits. I am neither suave nor elegant. I deal with ghosts all day long. How am I different from that witch and warlock? You actually... Alas, I I have told you long ago that my long-cherished wish in life Even if I travel all over the world and do my best to send away the lonely ghosts in this world, I won’t be able to get married, let alone have any children!”
Li Heng looked at Wu Chen inquiringly. , asked: "Are you thinking about Chen Nanzhu?"
"If I miss her, we can become husband and wife in Anping County! Do I have to wait until Kyoto to marry again?"
"You..."
"You are just used to hearing this. When others speak hypocritically, literati like to not say it properly. If he wants to beat around the bush, it would be better if there is not a single word he wants to say in the whole sentence, but the meaning is just that. I am not like that. I will say what I think straightforwardly. It is impossible to say clearly in my heart and say " It's a must'"
After hearing this, Li Heng waved his hands irritably and said, "You go to prison first. This matter... has a long way to go."
Wu Chen was too lazy to say anything, turned around and left the hall.
......
Wu Chen thought about various execution scenes. He once thought that this kind of criminal law would not be exposed in front of too many people, and only introduced the punishment of criminals to the outside world. During the execution, It will be done quietly in prison, after all, it is too cruel.
But Gu Shiming's intention in the morning was that someone should watch the execution. He thought it was just a trick to scare the monkeys, so he arranged for some officials to observe the execution.
When he followed the guards to the place of execution, he couldn't help but gasp.
This is a street intersection. Wu Chen recognized that it was not far from the Detective Department. There were not many people passing by on weekdays, but at this time, it was crowded, crowded, and very lively.
The guards led Wu Chen into the crowd, and did not forget to introduce to Wu Chen: "The minister of Dali Temple, the governor of Kyoto, the doctor of Yushitai, the minister of the six departments, oh, give way, anyway, I can All the officials are here.”
Wu Chen followed without saying a word. He didn’t want to know any of these people.
The two finally squeezed in, and Wu Chen saw that even Chen Zhong and Yuan Shuchun had arrived.
At this time, Chen Zhong stretched his arms and was tied to the wooden pillar. His legs were spread apart and tied to the wooden pillar. His silver hair was fluttering in the wind. Wu Chen couldn't see his expression clearly even if he wanted to.
Yuan Shuchun was also tied up, but his mouth was gagged because he kept screaming, and he was struggling hard now.
Wu Chen sighed. He had gritted his teeth and said more than once that people like Chen Zhong and Yuan Shuchun would not be able to forgive those who died in their hands unless they were cut to pieces. But at this time, But Wu Chen couldn't feel the relief.
The onlookers were very excited. They were not afraid of the cold wind, and their faces were filled with excitement, as if they couldn't wait to see the bloody scene.
The guards led Wu Chen through the crowd and walked to the execution ground. All the officials stood up.
Wu Chen ignored the officials and walked straight to Chen Zhong. He looked up and down first, and then whispered:
"I still don't know why you did this. I don’t believe your understanding that it’s for the sake of the family. In any case, Li Yi left last night. You can go too, no matter what happens after reincarnation, I think it will be better than this life. ”
Chen Zhong slowly raised his drooping head, looked at Wu Chen mockingly and said, "Do you think you will be a successful person from now on?"
Wu Chen chuckled and said:
"You are now There's still time to do It’s hard for you to worry about me. You are a poor person, but you took the path you shouldn’t have taken, and you deserve the outcome you have today. As for me, the biggest difference between you and me is that I have no greed!”
"Then what will happen to you? If you show your ability, you will be noticed soon, and you will become their prey..."
"Still worrying about me!" Wu Chen said. He waved his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want. Scream a few times when it hurts. Don't hold it in. If you die, leave immediately. I'm ready to collect your things." Don't let me have a chance to use it."
Chen Zhong smiled ferociously and said, "I'm waiting to see you cut into pieces by that old witch in the palace..."
< br>Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you telling me that you have no plans to leave?"
Chen Zhongyin looked at Wu Chen with a smile.
Wu Chen didn't waste any time, reached out and took out a handful from his pocket, and spread it around Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong immediately panicked: "What are you doing?"
Wu Chen walked up to Chen Zhong again and said expressionlessly:
"I don't need Yuan Shuchun." Worry, he will definitely leave. Don't worry about you. Don't you like five-color jade? I sprinkled some around you. Don't ask me where they came from. There are many five-color jade that you haven't seen yet! around you , if you refuse to leave, you will be trapped here. I can see you. You know, when the time comes, I will order people to build a wall here, fix the five-color jade stones firmly in the wall, and then order You can stay here, forever, as long as someone is guarding you!"
Chen Zhong's face turned extremely pale, and he trembled: "Have you really forgotten that I was the one who supported you?" (End of this chapter! )
