At noon on the second day, the execution ground was once again crowded with people.
The scene was roughly the same as yesterday, the only difference was that there was an extra Zhang Nan.
Looking at the extremely sharp sword, Zhang Nan was in a trance.
After racking his brains to escape from Yiling, racking his brains to find out the news, and going through all kinds of dangers to return to Jiangling, he ended up like this.
He never dreamed that the result of all his efforts would be to send himself to the guillotine with his own hands.
Resentment, unwillingness, injustice and other emotions filled Zhang Nan's heart.
Why were the meritorious ministers killed instead?
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang didn't give Zhang Nan any chance to defend himself, and his mouth was gagged extremely tightly.
He looked at Liu Bei for help, but all he saw was indifference and resentment.
He must be a village man from Zhuge!
Zhang Nan cursed Zhuge Liang in his heart, and even thinking about it with his buttocks, he could guess that it was Zhuge Liang who was responsible.
He put up an unyielding resistance, but was eventually treated as a scapegoat by Zhuge Liang.
Perhaps the moment Xu Shu was exposed, today's outcome was destined.
There was no time for Zhang Nan to reflect or regret. The soldiers had already pinned him down on the stage.
Just wait for an order from Liu Bei, and Zhang Nan's family will be dead in an instant!
Liu Bei held the token in his hand, and there was no trace of hesitation or intolerance in his eyes.
Who would show mercy to a traitor and a thief?
Zhuge Liang's words completely awakened him, and Liu Bei already understood how much trouble he had almost caused.
Snapped!
The movement was extremely smooth, and the killing token was thrown directly into Zhang Nan's face!
"cut!"
More than a dozen executioners had already raised their swords high. After hearing Liu Bei's order, they immediately raised their swords and dropped them!
Click. . . !
Liu Bei's indifference was all reflected in the executioner's agility.
With more than ten sounds, the execution ground fell into complete silence.
Zhang Nan’s family all lost their heads!
After a moment, the surroundings erupted with joyful sounds like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
Without exception, they all praise Liu Bei's wisdom and decisiveness, and avenge the sacrifice of Jingzhou soldiers!
"Congratulations, my lord. The soldiers and people of Jingzhou miss your lord so much, why worry about Liu Zhang not being destroyed?"
Liu Bei's eyes were full of joy and he nodded his head in approval.
The people's support can be fully demonstrated at this time!
"Kong Ming, thanks to you this time!"
Not to mention Zhang Nan was a traitor, he was one of Liu Zhang's men. Even if Zhang Nan was innocent, Liu Bei felt that he deserved his death.
In troubled times, there are always many things you cannot help but do!
Since you are a subordinate, you should dedicate everything to your lord!
This is Liu Bei's current kingly way!
It's a pity that Liu Bei seems to have forgotten that after the death of the devotee, his family will be protected.
As for Zhang Nan, a family of more than ten members all died. . .
As the actual promoter of Zhang Nan's death, Liu Zhang had no idea what was happening in Jiangling City.
If Liu Zhang knew about the conversation between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, he would definitely laugh so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.
He just asked the worthless Zhang Nan to pass a message, but he didn't expect that it would eventually turn into Liu Zhang using Zhang Nan's plan to drive a wedge between Liu Bei and his ministers!
After all, Zhuge Liang thinks too highly of Liu Zhang!
How could Liu Zhang be so slick with such conspiracies and tricks?
If Jia Xu, the Minister of Qin, was here, maybe it would be about the same.
But it doesn't matter. Zhang Nan is a little-known person.
No one cares about his life or death.
His life and death will not let any historian leave a mark for him.
Zhang Nan is such a small person.
Being able to be reviled by the people and soldiers, and his death being able to encourage the army and people in Jingzhou to share their hatred for the enemy, is probably his greatest value.
For Liu Zhang, it was even more insignificant.
As long as Zhang Nan conveyed Liu Zhang's intention to exchange people with Liu Bei, even if Zhang Nan choked on drinking water and died, it would not cause Liu Zhang's mood swings.
Maybe it can be used as an after-dinner tea chat, maybe!
Facts have also proved that Zhang Nan has completed his 'important task'!
Two days later, Mi Zhu was appointed as an envoy by Liu Bei and came to Yiling City to find Liu Zhang to discuss the exchange of prisoners.
Looking at Mi Zhu, who was wearing ordinary clothes and looking haggard, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
He is obviously a top-notch rich man with a fortune of hundreds of millions, and a powerful man with tens of thousands of servants at home!
But what has become of it now?
He invested crazily in Liu Bei and was squandered by Liu Bei crazily, leading to his current situation.
The Mi family gave Liu Bei whatever he asked for, even Mi Zhu's sister was given to Liu Bei!
Unfortunately, the investment and return are completely out of proportion!
Even after Liu Bei occupied the five counties of Jingzhou, Mi Zhu was still not promoted or reused due to his merits as a veteran.
He didn't even get the position of governor of a county.
"Mi Zhu pays homage to Duke Qin!"
Facing Duke Liu Zhang of Qin, Mi Zhu knelt down and bowed to the ground.
This kind of etiquette is really impeccable.
Coupled with Liu Zhang's personal reasons, he had a very good impression of Mi Zhu.
"Zizhong, get up!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!"
Liu Zhang's kind tone made Mi Zhu very surprised.
He had never met Liu Zhang, let alone had any communication with him.
According to the bad relationship between Liu Zhang and Liu Bei, shouldn't Liu Zhang be extremely difficult?
"Zizhong, I only have a problem with the big-eared thief, but naturally I have no problem with the talents under his command."
"After the big-eared thief is eliminated, the talents under the big-eared thief will be selected and hired!"
Mi Zhu was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to see through his mind.
"Qin Gong...sage!"
After thinking about it, Mi Zhu didn't know how to answer the question, so he could only praise him forcefully.
"Haha, Zizhong, Zhang Nan didn't tell the big-eared thief that he wanted Zhuge Liang to come to discuss it?"
Seeing Mi Zhu's confused expression, Liu Zhang guessed that Mi Zhu was unaware.
"This damn thing, when he was in Yiling, he still swore to Gu Gu, but he didn't expect to change his mind immediately after letting him go. He really deserves to be damned!"
"Next time I catch him, I won't be able to get around him!"
Mi Zhu's expression became even weirder and he couldn't help but explain to Liu Zhang.
"I'm afraid Mr. Qin won't have this chance..."
"Why, could it be that Zhang Nan escaped into the mountains and stopped caring about worldly affairs?"
Liu Zhang remembered Zhang Nan saying this, but he didn't quite believe that he could do this!
"Reporting to Duke Qin, Zhang Nan was beheaded by my lord..."
Mi Zhu felt that there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and directly telling Liu Zhang that his spy had been killed would also damage his morale.
Moreover, Liu Zhang's puzzled expression seemed to prove Mi Zhu's thoughts.
"Big-eared thief, why do you want to kill Zhang Nan?"
This incident indeed exceeded Liu Zhang's expectations.
I thought that Zhang Nan would be put into great use by Liu Bei, and at the worst he would be rewarded.
Mi Zhu looked at Liu Zhang strangely, thinking that he looked quite similar!
"Zhang Nan collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the lord. His entire family has been executed!"
"Commander Zhuge asked me to give Duke Qin a message. In the future, please stop using such little tricks as alienation schemes!"
