"Oh, oh, why does this still hurt so much!"
Yang Zhu was lying in the carriage, moaning continuously, with his disheveled hair and face covered, looking like a beggar.
The groom outside the car heard this.
"Sir, if you hold on a little longer, we will arrive in Qingdu early tomorrow morning."
Yang Chu suddenly raised his head fiercely.
"What? We have to wait all night."
The groom did not dare to respond, leaving Yang Zhu alone with his own moans.
"Okay, if you persist for one more night, you can finally see His Majesty tomorrow. Liu Qi, just wait. Your good days will only be a few days away. This time, let's see how I sue you!"
"ah!"
As soon as he finished his murmuring words, the carriage suddenly made a loud movement, and Yang Zhu grimaced in pain.
"what happened!"
"Sir, a sentinel just passed by and surprised our horses."
Yang Zhu gritted his teeth.
"Spy? Was it sent by the fourth prince to impeach the prince? Well, that must be the case."
.......
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
Sitting on the execution platform was Prince Liu Qi, with Qin Wei, Bai Qi and others standing beside him.
On the beheading platform.
Skelin and several officials knelt on the ground quietly. His face was calm.
On the periphery, except for the soldiers guarding, almost all the people in Jincheng came to the food market entrance.
Everyone was crying and shouting, and the breath of sadness infected everyone present.
"Qin Lieutenant, please have Jia and their bodies carried out and beheaded as well."
Just yesterday, Qin Wei led his people to chase Jia He and others who fled.
But when it arrived, it was still a step too late. In front of them, the last person was hacked to death.
In order to make up for his mistake last time, Qin Wei immediately led his troops and chased them for dozens of miles, finally blocking the way of the perpetrators.
After a fight, not only did no one escape, but three were captured alive.
On the same day, Zhang Shi conducted a trial on the three people.
Anyway, Liu Qi didn't know how he did it. With the knife on their necks, these people who didn't say a word confessed obediently that night.
As expected, they were all sent by Hu Hui to kill and silence them.
Coupled with this piece of ironclad evidence, even the King of Heaven cannot save Hu Hui's life.
At this time, the reason why the bodies of Jia and several others were taken out.
It was just Liu Qi who wanted to vent his anger.
These people are the real bad guys. If it weren't for their instigation, maybe Skelin wouldn't be where he is today.
Also, it was Jia He who ordered the arrows to be fired that day. Beheading him was considered cheap, and cutting him into pieces with a thousand cuts was too much.
When all the corpses arrived on the stage, Liu Qi took a look at the time.
"It's almost noon, let the executioners remove their shackles (gu, four tones, death cards)."
As the shackles were removed, the people outside the venue suddenly howled.
I don’t know if someone instigated it intentionally or if they did it spontaneously.
"No, we can't let Mr. Shi die. He was also killed by someone else!"
"Yes, we cannot let Mr. Shi die!"
Under this instigation, the people suddenly became confused and began to rush forward, trying to break through the guards' defense line.
At this cruel moment, the people did not accept this result. They were passionate and flocked to the execution ground, eager to change this fate.
If this continues, how can the execution be carried out?
When Bai Qi saw this, he immediately stood up.
"Your Highness, I will send someone over immediately!"
Liu Qi, however, waved his hand and shouted at the beheading platform.
"Master Shi, before you leave, don't you have anything to say to the people of Jincheng?"
Shi Kelin knew that this was the prince and asked him to stabilize the current situation.
And among the people present, he was the only one who could do it.
At this time, Shi Kelin suddenly stood up.
The executioner wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Qin Wei on the stage.
"Common people, listen to me!"
As soon as Shikelin spoke like this, the scene really became quiet.
The people looked at him with tears in their eyes. Liu Qi had no doubt at all. As long as she raised her arms and shouted, the people would immediately rush forward and save him.
Is this a good thing? Yes and no.
"Common people, the country has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. I, Shi Kailin, am doing what I am doing today, and I am really to blame for myself, and I deserve what I deserve."
"And His Highness has shown me mercy beyond the law. Even now, I can still stand here, looking at you, looking at familiar faces like yours, and I have no regrets."
"I know you don't want me to die, and you even want to fight for me. But, I want to tell you, the law is the law! He cannot be extra merciful just because I have done good things!"
"Common people, I, Shi Kailin, thank you for being able to send you off like this at this last moment. I, Shi Kailin, have died without regrets!"
"Please stay calm for me and our Jincheng. Please believe that the imperial court will definitely send an official like me to continue to be everyone's parent official!"
After saying that, Shi Kelin turned and walked towards the execution platform. He faced the crowd with firm eyes and told them with his actions that he was not afraid of death.
He calmly accepted his fate and hoped that the people would see his tenacity and determination.
As the people watched him ascend the steps, their anger subsided and was replaced by a deep respect and mourning.
"Your Highness, the time has come."
Liu Qi took a deep breath.
To be honest, beheading such an official is really unbearable.
Is Shi Kelin a good official? There is no doubt that it is.
But why did such a good official end up like he did today?
In Liu Qi's mind, in the final analysis, it was still the corruption of the imperial court.
If there weren't some corrupt princes and ministers, why would so many people be implicated?
Looking at the bright sun above his head, Liu Qi clenched his fists and secretly vowed in his heart!
If one day I have the power, I will definitely kill all the lawless officials in the world!
After letting out a long sigh, Liu Qi reluctantly picked up the beheading token.
Snapped!
The token fell to the ground, followed by Liu Qi's resolute instructions.
"Execution!"
puff!
As the chopstick hand spits the wine onto the knife. In an instant, Shi Kailin and others disappeared in the eyes of everyone...
...
at this time. Qingdu, Weiyang Palace.
A group of ministers gathered in the hall.
Emperor Qing's figure slowly walked out of the back hall.
All the ministers bowed and bowed.
"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!"
"Everyone, please be safe. They all came to Weiyang Palace at noon. What's the matter?"
Yang Wenyuan waved his sleeves and stood up immediately.
"Your Highness, Mr. Yang Zhu has not returned for many days, and there is no news from the prince. Now he is bringing 30,000 troops and horses. I am really worried!"
Li Shouting quickly stood up and agreed.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The reason why I summoned Your Majesty is that the situation is urgent. I thought that maybe the prince, with his troops and horses, had done something unimaginable."
His words were still a bit euphemistic.
After Yang Wenyuan heard this, he quickly stepped forward to add.
"Your Majesty, my ministers and others are thinking that now that the army has been transferred out and there are not many soldiers left in the court, will the prince take advantage of such a good opportunity to lead his troops to rebel?"
