The next day, the sun rises.
The square in front of the Barbarian King's palace was already crowded with people.
Today is the day to execute the remaining members of the Fox clan.
This was decided three days ago.
Although there were many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty who criticized this execution, after all, the person who was going to be executed was the ninth princess of the country before this, the biological flesh and blood of the Khan.
Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, but Khan wants to kill his own daughter.
This made many ministers feel uncomfortable.
However, there are also some who support Khan's decision.
They called Khan's behavior a righteous act of killing relatives.
He spared no effort to praise Jie Li as a good king who understood justice well.
It is unclear whether Jie Li heard these words. But everyone knows that as long as Khan makes a decision, no matter who it is, they can't change it. Even those who have some complaints in their hearts are the same.
The execution went ahead as scheduled.
The center of the huge square was as smooth as new. The executioner had already taken his place, standing there like a knife. The beheading knife in his hand shone with a cold light under the sunlight.
The square was surrounded early by people from the royal capital who came to watch the excitement.
Some of them suffered greatly during the Fox Clan's rebellion in the past, some lost relatives during the rebellion, and some seemed to be ordinary people, but they had inexplicable motives.
No matter what their identities are, since they are standing here, they are naturally very happy to see the death of the Ninth Princess.
In front of the people, one hundred elite soldiers were stationed on each side of the square. They are directly under the command of King Khan and are a terrifying force that belongs only to Khan.
Time passed slowly, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the eight kings, arrived one after another. These important figures that people usually only heard about in rumors actually appeared one by one today, which made today's execution even more extraordinary.
"I heard that today's execution was personally presided over by His Majesty the Khan." Someone said this.
If they heard such words at other times, some people would definitely think that the person who said these words must be lying, but at this moment, no one would think so.
All civil and military officials from the entire dynasty were present, but no one dared to sit on the high official position of supervisor and executioner.
This shows what?
It shows that they are not qualified to sit in this seat.
If none of them are qualified, then there is only one person in the country who is qualified.
Over there is the owner of this land.
The supreme king of the country, Khan.
At three o'clock in the morning, the palace gate slowly opened, and a huge honor guard slowly walked out from the door. Seeing this scene, everyone in the square held their breath and watched nervously as the team approached.
In the procession, five golden carriages opened the way one after another. These carriages were unique in shape and were specially designed for the royal family. It is the car of the only five remaining princesses.
After the five golden carriages passed by, a team of honor guards followed in a mighty manner. Behind the team, a magnificent carriage engraved with two wolf heads appeared in the sight of everyone in the square.
Everyone was excited.
That carriage was the exclusive vehicle of King Khan. Only His Majesty the Supreme King Khan was qualified to ride in the double-headed wolf carriage on a tour.
This is equivalent to the symbol of King Khan.
Everyone in the square was staring at the two-headed wolf cart, and they would not let go of it no matter where it went.
Five golden carriages and a two-headed wolf carriage passed through the square. Under the watch of everyone, they arrived at the most prestigious official position in the north of the square.
The five princesses were the first to get out of the car. Just when their feet had just stepped on the ground of the square, everyone knelt down at the same time and said, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness!"
Countless people shouted in unison, like thunder in anger.
The five princesses waved their hands slightly, and everyone stood up.
The next moment, everyone's eyes focused on the two-headed wolf car again.
Then the five princesses shouted in unison, "Father, please get out of the car."
After the voice fell, an ordinary old man stepped down from the double-headed wolf cart. He was in his fifties or sixties, and his eyes were slightly gloomy.
As soon as this person appeared, the whole place immediately became excited.
"See His Majesty the Khan!" Everyone knelt down and shouted again.
Jie Li's expression remained unchanged as he watched the people and officials in the square prostrate themselves to him one after another. He just waved his hands slightly and said, "Everyone, please bow down without courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Another thunderous shout echoed throughout the square.
Jie Li had no expression on his face as he sat on the official position of supervisor. The five princesses, headed by the eldest princess, stood on the side seats and looked at their father solemnly.
"Everyone, today, we are going to execute a person." Jie Li looked at everyone and said, "This person is a remnant of the bloodline of Hu Tian, the leader of the Fox tribe's rebellion in the past. Hu Tian's party has done a lot of harm to our barbarian country. Shen, I believe everyone has a certain idea in their minds, so I won’t go into details. Today, I just want to ask everyone, should this person be killed?”
"Deserve to kill! Deserve to kill!" A unanimous reply came immediately from the square.
"You shouldn't kill..." Suddenly, a discordant voice reached Jie Li's ears.
"Who said he shouldn't be killed?" the eldest princess asked.
"It's an old minister." A man stood out from the queue of civil and military ministers, holding his head high and his chest high. It was Yuan Lin.
"So it's Taigong, why do you think this person shouldn't be killed?" Jieli remained expressionless, looking in the direction of Yuan Lin.
Yuan Lin said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, Princess Langyue is also your biological flesh and blood. Are you really so hard-hearted and don't care about the father-daughter relationship between you and the Ninth Princess? Besides, even if the Ninth Princess is So what if she is a remnant of Hu Tian's bloodline? She has not done anything harmful to our country, but you want to put her to death just because of her bloodline that she cannot choose. Your Majesty does not think this is too much for the Ninth Princess. Isn’t it unfair?”
Jieli's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Taigong and spoke silently, "What Taigong said was too emotional. I am the king of a country, how can I be influenced by the personal affairs of my children? Although Lang Yue is the daughter of this Khan, She is also a remnant of the Fox clan who was sentenced to death by Ben Khan in the past. Therefore, even if she is really the daughter of Ben Khan, Ben Khan would have to annihilate his relatives in order to be worthy of entrusting the hope of this land to him. People."
"Your Majesty's warning!" A unanimous voice came from the square again.
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess is not guilty. Putting her to death will hinder the fairness of justice..." Yuan Lin said again.
But Jie Li no longer listened to him. Instead, he waved his hand and dragged him down with his own soldiers.
"Your Majesty, this is unfair..." Yuan Lin was still shouting when he was dragged away.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared from people's sight that the sound gradually dissipated...
Jie Li looked at everyone and said, "Okay, the person who was in the way has left. Now, give me my instructions and lead the criminal Long Yue to enter..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a prison car drove out from the palace.
In the prison car, a desolate figure was tied up by Wu Hua Da.
It is Long Yue.
Although not much time had passed, she looked much more haggard.
In the past, she was an eccentric and aloof Ninth Princess.
Today, she is silent and is a death row prisoner that everyone calls for death.
Her unkempt hair and dimple-like smile are now covered in dirt. She looks more like a beggar begging on the street than a princess of the country.
The prison car slowly entered the square.
The voices of the people shouting "should be killed" are getting louder and louder.
Finally, the prison van stopped.
The people inside were escorted by two guards to the center of the square.
