Chapter 730: King Nanling Is Back? (Monthly Ticket 35)

Caishikou in Beijing.

Early in the morning, outside the line of defense of officers and soldiers, it was crowded with people who had heard the news.

Today, the two big traitors of the dynasty will be beheaded.

After Liu Huai, the head of the Liu family in Kyoto, was beheaded last year, this is the second severe punishment so far.

What's interesting is that the protagonist this time also has the same surname Liu, and has an unclear relationship with the former Kyoto Liu family.

I don't know if it's retribution or not.

Back then, the Xiaoliu family won the fight against the Daliu family, now it's my turn.

It is already very cold in Beijing in November.

The cold wind blows from all directions at the empty Caishikou, making people shiver with cold.

Coupled with the murderous aura of the guarding officers and soldiers, the whole scene was very depressing.

Near noon, the officers and soldiers escorted the prison car from afar.

Two prisoners in prison uniforms were locked in the prison van.

After being held in a large prison for many days, the prisoners appeared to be in a state of distress, but no matter whether they were old or young, both of them behaved calmly.

The eyes are clear and straight, open and frank.

Not at all the treacherous appearance that the common people imagined.

In the crowd, when someone saw the young man, his eyes fluctuated, and then he suppressed it as hard as possible.

This time the case was presided over by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After the prisoners were escorted to the scene, officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice also rushed over in small sedan chairs.

The officers and soldiers stood around the execution platform with knives and swords in case of any accidents on the way.

Now, as soon as noon comes, the people on the platform will be beheaded immediately.

Hidden in the crowd, Fu Yuzheng looked at the man who was being escorted and knelt on the stage, her heart felt as if she had been slashed by a knife again and again, the pain was so painful that she could hardly hold on.

She shouldn't have come today, the Qian family and the Shi family had already made arrangements. In order to avoid complications, everyone didn't even tell the elders of the Liu family what happened today, lest they lose their composure and show their flaws.

Qian Wanjin even found an excuse early in the morning, dragging several elders to a private house and not letting them go out, so as not to hear rumors boiling outside.

In addition to her, there are hidden experts selected by Qian and Shi in the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The prince has not returned from his mission to Beicang so far, they have already made the worst plan and tried their best to rob him out.

Time passed little by little, and noon was coming.

The boat on the canal has already driven to the extreme speed, and it still takes nearly half an hour to reach the capital.

Everyone on the boat was very anxious, even Wei Hong, who had always had a cold face, had worry and anxiety in his eyes.

Not to mention Liu Yusheng.

However, at this time, no matter how anxious you are, it will not help, you can only sink into deep suffering.

Standing at the bow of the boat and staring straight at the direction of the capital, Liu Yusheng clasped Feng Qingbai's hand tightly, her almond eyes were bloodshot, her face was pale, tired and haggard.

Neither of them slept a wink all night.

Letting the little girl grab him to vent her panic, Feng Qingbai tightened his grip on the girl with one hand, "Shengsheng, relax, trust me, everything will be fine in the end."

"Feng Qingbai..." Liu Yusheng's voice was choked up, mixed with a strong nasal sound.

She has been holding back tears, but she is not as calm as she appears. As long as there is a small gap, her emotions are likely to completely collapse.

"Grandma's side, I have already asked Wei Bai and Wei Cheng to recruit people to find people. As long as we can get back in time from the capital, nothing will happen, and we will all be fine."

Liu Yusheng bit her lip tightly, not daring to ask, what if I can't make it in time?

She couldn't accept the consequences like that.

How could Feng Qingbai fail to understand her emotions?

At this moment, the impatience in his heart was no less than hers, what's more, just thinking about the consequences if they didn't go back in time, the hostility that grew in his heart made him want to kill.

In this torment, the ship finally docked, and it was already noon.

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Today there are rebellious ministers Yang Shuzhong and Liu Zhixia. During their time as auxiliary ministers, they took the emperor to control the court, deceived and deceived the sage, and caused them to be addicted to eating, drinking and having fun! They are ministers! They are villains , to strengthen the court, and to stabilize the country, the two are specially sentenced to be beheaded, so as to serve as a warning to others! I respect this!"

The voice of the chief criminal officer reading the imperial decree was cold and ruthless.

Fu Yuzheng's figure swayed slightly, his face was pale, and he could barely support himself by holding on to the wooden fence in front of him with both hands.

Eyes turned to Xingtai, where the executioner was ready, and the huge steel knife reflected a cold light under the daylight.

Elder Yang and Liu Zhixia were wearing shackles and kneeling on the high platform, their backs were straight, their eyes and brows were full of disdain for the so-called imperial decree.

Turning her head, looking past the officers and soldiers guarding the crowd, Liu Zhixia's eyes flickered when she came across an unfamiliar woman's face and her extremely familiar eyes, and then she looked back as if nothing had happened.

He didn't expect her to watch him walk the last journey with his own eyes. He owed her a lot in this life, and he had to pay it back in the next life.

At this moment, the originally tumultuous crowd has begun to calm down.

After the imperial decree is read, the execution will begin.

For the arrival of this moment, almost everyone held their breath involuntarily.

The chief criminal officer sat back behind the case and threw the beheading token on the table to the ground.

"cut!"

This word immediately made Fu Yuzheng's eyes tear open, his eyes were scarlet, and there were bleeding marks on his fingers clutching the wooden fence!

On the stage, Liu Zhixia gently closed her eyes, preventing herself from looking at the woman again.

There must be heavy soldiers hiding in the dark around the execution ground. If he wants to catch him, a "treacherous" henchman, even if he takes a second look, he may reveal his flaws.

Behind him, the executioner had already raised the steel knife in his hand, and he could even hear the slight wind caused by the steel knife cutting towards him.

There were exclamations from the audience, and many people turned their heads and closed their eyes, not daring to look at such a bloody and cruel scene.

But there was a clang, and then someone came before everyone said, "Keep people under the knife!"

On Xingtai, Liu Zhixia and Old Yang suddenly opened their eyes, joy flashed in their eyes.

Under the stage, Fu Yuzheng clenched his heart even more, exhausting all his strength to hold himself up from falling.

"Bold! Who dares to make trouble in the court!" the presiding judge raised his eyes and shouted angrily.

A figure descended from the sky, looked at the surrounding soldiers with their swords out of their sheaths as nothing, and showed his token, "The personal bodyguard of the King of Nanling is here. I came here to pass the order on the orders of the master. There are many doubts about the case of Yang Shuzhong and Liu Zhixia's treachery. Before that, take the person back to the prison first, there must be no mistake!"

The people were in an uproar, the King of Nanling is back?

If it was an order handed down by the King of Nanling, then Lord Yang and Lord Liu might have been wronged.

With the prince's current position of power, if he really wanted that position, he would be at his fingertips, but for so many years he has been conscientiously performing the post of assistant to the regent, which shows that he has no coveted heart for the throne. Then the ministers he selected to assist the emperor would certainly not do such rebellious things.
