Chapter 2833 Losing People’s Hearts【3】
this?
Mr. Wang choked up: "If the sentence is harsh according to the law, the Bai family should indeed be beheaded in public."
Wei Qi said: "In that case, my uncle will handle it according to the criminal law... It will be completed within five days and the execution will be carried out within half a month. Don't delay for too long, as it will ruin the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration."
A date was actually set to kill the Bai family, and they were so anxious that Mr. Wang was shocked.
Wei Qi saw Master Wang's expression of shock, and in order to restore his reputation for benevolence and justice, he choked again and said: "I also want to give the Bai family a way to survive, but the world is just peaceful, and the people of Li can no longer bear the disaster of war, so I can only This can be done.”
It is implying that the Qin family is powerful. If the Bai family is not killed to vent their anger on the Qin family, the northwest may be in chaos.
But this is clearly a plot by your father and son, and the Qin family is now reaping the consequences. Where can you find the dignity to imply that the Qin family is bullying others? !
However, Mr. Wang did not know that Wei Qi was using the Bai family to plot against the two wolves. He only thought that Wei Qi was really afraid of the Qin family and was afraid that the Qin family would take the opportunity to raise troops, so he abandoned the Bai family, which had little power, as a matter of order. Went to do it.
But Deputy Commander Fan knew the inside story and was one of the participants. Therefore, he learned that the Bai family had been convicted of murdering the crown prince, and all the men in the family were to be beheaded according to law, including the Bai family girls. In a hurry, he quickly grabbed Mr. Wang and asked angrily: "Did you civil servants force His Majesty to kill the Bai family?!"
Your Majesty is the most merciful. He will love these Wei family ministers as if they were his own brothers. He will not do anything to kill them all after using them!
Lord Wang glanced at Fan Mao and said: "Deputy Commander Fan, if you have any dissatisfaction, go to His Majesty and don't come to try to quarrel with me. I am very busy. Your Majesty said that the Bai family will be executed before the Mid-Autumn Festival to avoid It ruined the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations."
After saying that, he shook off Deputy Commander Fan's hand and led Master Deng and Xu Chongfeng to continue handling the case.
"Wait a minute, I'll go take a look too." Deputy Commander Fan felt guilty and wanted to follow him to see if the Bai family children were tortured, he could protect them.
"Sure." Master Wang agreed.
Mr. Wang was the elder brother of the queen, and he was very concerned about the reputation of his descendants. He did not torture the Bai family, but only asked them questions and asked them to sign a bond.
Bai Qianqian told the story again, and as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Deputy Commander Fan and begged: "Uncle Fan, Qianqian knows that he was wrong and no longer dares to have the sweet dream of a princess. Please help Qianqian to beg Your Majesty. Let me go home...it smells so bad here, there are a lot of bugs and rats, they will crawl on me, Qianqian is scared, woo woo woo~"
Bai Qianqian was only eight years old. This was the first time he had experienced such a thing, and he was already sick with fear.
Deputy Commander Fan looked at Bai Qianqian, who was trembling all over, but forced himself to kneel down to beg him, and finally turned around and left... This was His Majesty's decision, and he, a minister, could only follow orders.
But he was still afraid.
Thinking of his own child, what should he do if His Majesty uses his child as a tactic in the future, and after failure, puts his child on death row and kills him?
Everything he has is done with his life, and he does not want his children to become victims of the royal family!
Wei Qi knew that Deputy Commander Fan went to the death row to see the Bai family. When he came on duty, he asked him: "Have you met the Bai family?"
Deputy Commander Fan nodded: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have seen it. The Bai family daughter said that their brother and sister teamed up to plot against His Highness the Crown Prince, and she also begged the general for mercy. However, the general is a minister of your Majesty, and the Bai family committed another serious crime. , so the general ignored her."
After hearing this, Wei Qi was satisfied, but he still asked suspiciously: "But you think I'm too cruel to the Bai family?"
Deputy Commander Fan shook his head: "The general is from the military, and he knows very well that if you want to win a big battle, many soldiers will die... and the Bai family did listen to other people's deceptions and plotted against the prince."
However, the two people who bewitched Bai Qianqian were from Liangfei's palace, but the people in Liangfei's palace were given by Wei Qi, and Deputy Commander Fan even knew that those two people were bewitched under Wei Qi's order. Bai Qianqian's.
After hearing this, Wei Qi finally felt relieved and pretended to say: "I will treat the children born to the good concubine kindly and give the Bai family hope."
In the past, Deputy Commander Fan would have felt that Wei Qi was benevolent, but at this moment, Deputy Commander Fan only felt cold all over his body, and fear seeped into his bones.
At this moment, Vice Commander Fan's loyalty to Wei Qi was shaken!
In order to show his love for his ministers, Wei Qi asked about Deputy Commander Fan's family affairs: "I heard that your wife and two concubines are pregnant? You have three children in one fell swoop, not bad."
Then he sighed and said: "When I was hiding in the Northeast, I was always afraid that the Wei family would not be able to succeed, and that it would lead to your death. Now that I see your children in groups, I feel relieved."
rest assured?
We finally have a hostage to check us, so are you relieved?
"That's not bad. Your Majesty only sees the good ones, but you don't know how much trouble those women can make. They keep telling each other off every day because of their pregnancy. If they lose, they come to me to make the decision. I'm almost annoyed to death by them!" Fan The deputy commander began to pretend, talking to Wei Qixu and Wei She.
After hearing this, Wei Qi became even more happy: "They compete for favor because they have you in their hearts. This is a good thing."
It was only after talking to Deputy Commander Fan about some common matters that he asked Deputy Commander Fan to leave.
Deputy Commander Fan knew that he had passed this test, but he was still very scared and could not calm down at all... Two days later, he learned another news.
"The Bai family girl is dead? You tortured her?!" Deputy Commander Fan couldn't believe it. The little girl who was only eight years old and who cried and begged him two days ago and called him uncle actually died in prison. .
Mr. Deng shook his head: "The ins and outs of this case are very clear. The case has been concluded. The Ministry of Punishment has not found anything in the case, so there is no need to torture the Bai family."
He also took out a pulse sheet and handed it to Deputy Commander Fan: "The imperial physician and his wife have seen the body and concluded that Bai Qianqian was overly frightened, had a high fever and died of illness at night."
Died of illness at night?
She died in the night without even seeing her family... She was only eight years old, and she was also bewitched and designed by them to plot against the prince. Otherwise, how could Bai Qianqian bump into the second young master of the Qin family so coincidentally!
Deputy Commander Fan was so sad that he wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry. He had to say: "She suffered the consequences."
With that said, no more words, it’s time to go home.
But Vice Commander Fan had a nightmare. He dreamed that he helped Wei Qi to do something wrong, and the whole family, including the in-laws, were dragged and beheaded!
Deputy Commander Fan woke up from a nightmare. After drinking a bottle of water, he felt better, but he couldn't fall asleep. After thinking about it, he finally took the risk and wrote a secret letter to Zhou Huang.
Deputy Commander Fan is Zhou Huang's subordinate. They used to be bandits on a mountain. This secret letter was written in the same way as when they were bandits. Only Zhou Huang and a group of close bandits can understand it.
Zhou Huang was in Zhili Camp, guarding Wei Qi's way to Beijing. It was not too far from the capital. He received the letter three days later.
Zhou Huang was surprised... How could Fan Mao write to him in the same way as a gangster? Could it be that something serious happened to His Majesty, so Fan Mao used this method to ask for help from him? !
