More than a thousand people were executed. Chen Nan just stared at them coldly, making them tremble, but no one dared to leave.
"No, don't kill me. My brother-in-law is the emperor, and you have no right to kill me."
On the execution platform, there were screams and pleas everywhere, but most of them were nonsense, until a fat man of eighteen or nineteen years old was pushed out.
Upon hearing this, both the escorting soldiers and the executioners were a little hesitant, wondering whether they should commit suicide.
Mr. Yun quickly stepped forward and told what happened.
"Your Majesty, this is Zeng Sihai's only son, Zeng Taiping."
"Catch me." Chen Nan waved his hand, and the two ghosts came in carrying Zeng Taiping.
"You misunderstood. I did not join the rebellion. I wanted to resist, but he caught me and beat me up."
Seeing that he did not participate in the rebellion, Chen Nan decided to let him go.
"Your Majesty, please seek justice for me." A man in his mid-twenties suddenly fell to his knees and shouted at Chen Nan.
He was wearing rough clothes, his skin was dark, and there was a scar on the right side of his face, making him look a little ferocious.
"Bring him here." Several government officials were about to drive this man out. Chen Nan frowned. This case had come to him. If he didn't handle it, it would be chilling.
The man was pulled to Chen Nan's side. With sharp eyes, he noticed that the man was staring at Zeng Taiping with a look of hatred, while Zeng Taiping subconsciously avoided the man's gaze.
"You bastard, I'll fight you." The moment the man passed by Zeng Taiping, his expression became ferocious. He took out a knife from his sleeve and stabbed Zeng Tianping.
"Oh my god." Zeng Taiping was obviously on guard. When he saw him rushing towards him, he quickly shrank behind a soldier.
The emperor was heavily guarded. Before the man could step forward, the guards held more than a dozen swords to his neck.
"Zeng Taiping, I will fight with you, I will fight with you." The man's eyes almost popped out of his head. Even though he had more than a dozen long swords pressed against his neck, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt like wanting to The feeling of being freed from constraints.
Chen Nan was shocked. There were more than a dozen guards surrounding him like a pile of Arhats. These people were wearing armor, worth at least two thousand taels of gold.
Not only was this man not crushed into a meat pie, but he seemed to be able to escape. He was obviously a very strong guy. He glanced at Mr. Yun.
Mr. Yun walked up to the man and put his hand on the man. The man became weak and only his mouth could still move.
"Plop." Mr. Yun casually threw the man in front of him. The man was beaten so hard that he couldn't move, but he kept cursing in his mouth.
"Say less, or you will be killed." After Chen Nan finished speaking, he exuded an imperial majesty. Although this man was fierce, he was still a mortal after all. After being yelled at by Chen Nan, he immediately did not dare to speak. .
"Yan Zhong, let me tell you, your sister hanged herself. No wonder I am. I promised her a lot of money, but she didn't appreciate it at all. Instead, she beat me. Anyway, no wonder she died. I."
Before Chen Nan could speak, Zeng Taiping had already stood up and cursed at the middle-aged man, but his face was obviously not as confident as before.
"Shut up and tell me what happened. If you say one more thing, I will kill you." Chen Nan stared at Zeng Taiping, and then pointed at the man.
"Reporting to your Majesty, this guy took advantage of my sister's wedding and raped my sister. My sister couldn't bear the insult, so she committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam. He not only killed all of my brother-in-law's family, but also burned down my brother-in-law's house."
Yan Zhong, a tough-minded man, was bursting into tears at this time. Everyone looked surprised after hearing this.
Zeng Taiping glared at Zeng Taiping and fell to his knees under the pressure of the aura emanating from his body.
"Brother-in-law..."
"Call me Emperor." Chen Nan said to Zeng Taiping. Zeng Taiping was startled and quickly changed his title.
"Your Majesty, you must not believe his words. It was obviously his sister who wanted to seduce me, and I did not set the fire. It was just the candle on the candlestick that fell to the ground, causing the fire."
Zeng Taiping said tremblingly. It could be seen from his tone and eyes when he spoke that the other party was lying, but he deliberately concealed his intention to kill him.
However, everything must have conclusive evidence. If he wanted to convince everyone, he could only make Zeng Taiping admit his crime.
"Yan Zhong, you just heard what Zeng Taiping said. If you want to accuse him, you must provide sufficient evidence."
Yan Zhong thought he was speaking to Zeng Taiping, his eyes filled with anger.
The same goes for Zeng Taiping. When he thought that even the emperor was on his side, he was no longer afraid and stared at Yan Zhong proudly.
Chen Nan frowned, and the people around him were also talking quietly. A young man tried to step forward, but was held back by the old man next to him. He was obviously afraid of getting into trouble.
"Everyone present can bear witness to him. Please believe me. Even if the Tian family breaks the law, everyone will be punished in the same way. If Zeng Taiping really raped a woman, then he is a No one will be spared if he commits a crime.”
As soon as Chen Nan said this, the young man couldn't hold it in any longer. He pushed the old man's arm away and wanted to move forward, but was startled by a man shrouded in a black cloak.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to testify for Yan Zhong. Zeng Taiping was a wolf-hearted person. He not only insulted my wife, Yan Xiao'e, but also killed more than a dozen members of my Wang family. I hope your Majesty will uphold justice."
A trace of disbelief flashed across Yan Zhong's face. He stared at the man in black and said, "Are you your brother-in-law?"
"Here comes someone." Chen Nan waved his hand. In order to prevent this scene from happening, this person had been checked and did not have any weapons on him.
"Take off your hat and veil."
"Your Majesty, I am worried about offending you."
"It's okay." Wang Xiaoke hesitated for a moment, then took off his hat and veil.
"Ah!" Upon seeing this, Zeng Taiping exclaimed in surprise, and several soldiers around him were also stunned.
Chen Nan was also shocked by the scene in front of him. After a while, he came back to his senses and ordered Wang Xiaoke: "Tell me what happened that day."
Wang Xiaoke thought for a while and told Yan Zhong what happened, but in more detail. Everyone looked angry, and Zeng Tianping sat down on the ground.
After Wang Xiaoke finished speaking, some people in the crowd below actually knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to bear witness for Yan Zhong. I am the one who carried the sedan chair. I saw Zeng Taiping entering the Wang family that day. After he left, a fire broke out in the Wang family. When the fire went out, all the Wang family members died. Empty."
