Chen Fan was escorted from the prison to the place of execution by officials.
Along the way, many scholars and ordinary people are redressing Chen Fan's grievances.
The officer pulled out the saber from his waist and looked around with vigilant eyes.
Under the threat of the cold light weapons, those people did not dare to get close.
When Chen Fan saw this, he knew that the Zhao family and his son did not care about the common people and scholars at all, so his public opinion war was of no use.
However, at this time, Chen Fan looked calm and showed no fear at all.
And he also reminds people around him to pay attention to safety from time to time.
The reason why Chen Fan is so calm is not that he is not afraid of beheading, but because he is confident that he will not be beheaded.
Because there is a small copper piece in his hand, he can open his shackles at any time.
And he was very confident that these officials couldn't catch him at all.
This is why Chen Fan asked Yan Bei to send the two sisters out of the city just now.
Although Chen Fan was unwilling to let his two daughters suffer with him, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of their safety.
Of course, Chen Fan also knew that this was the worst plan and he would not do it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Soon, Chen Fan arrived at the execution ground surrounded by densely packed people and scholars.
At this time, a dense crowd had already gathered at the execution ground.
This was the first time for these officials and Zhao Da to see so many people coming to the execution ground.
"Mr. Chen was wronged. Let him go."
"Let him go."
…
As soon as Chen Fan appeared, the crowd immediately shouted loudly.
If you look closely, you will find that in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, the disguised Guo Hua screamed the loudest.
Listening to the thunderous voice, Zhao Da frowned immediately, but he quickly calmed down and pretended not to have heard it.
At this time, Chen Fan walked onto the execution ground with a calm face, but there was no fear on his face, and he even waved to the crowd below with a smile.
Just like those singers in later generations coming on stage to greet their fans.
At this time, Chen Fan saw a woman in the crowd looking at him with worried eyes.
Chen Fan specially smiled reassuringly at this woman.
This woman is none other than Su Wenqi.
Seeing Chen Fan's smile, Su Wenqi's eyes suddenly turned red.
Chen Fan also saw Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao looking at him with smiles not far away.
Chen Fan also showed a sneer. He knew that the two of them must be the ones who framed him this time.
"Bold Chen Fan, you actually intend to rebel. According to the order of the Ministry of Punishment, I will behead you today."
Zhao Da said with dignity.
At this time, Chen Fan ignored him at all. He only saw Chen Fan's eyes looking into the distance, as if he was waiting for someone.
At the same time, he held the copper piece in his hand tightly, ready to open his shackles at any time.
Seeing that Chen Fan was still so arrogant even when he was about to die, Zhao Da's eyes suddenly showed a cold light.
"cut."
Zhao Da gave the order.
Then the executioner walked towards Chen Fan with a machete.
At this time, Chen Fan had already pinched the copper piece on his thumb and index finger, ready to fight back at any time.
At the same time, his eyes were still looking into the distance. Chen Fan did not want to take the path of being wanted until the last moment.
As the executioner got closer, Chen Fan also bent slightly, preparing to open the shackles as quickly as possible.
The crowd below also looked at Chen Fan with pity.
"Da da da."
"The sword will save you."
Just when Chen Fan was about to take action, everyone thought that Chen Fan was about to be beheaded.
There was the sound of horse hooves, and then Master Si Ye was seen galloping towards him on horseback.
And behind him there was a man of similar age riding a horse.
"Emperor Master Fang Zhengru? He...why is he here?"
Zhao Hongwei looked at the visitor with wide eyes and said nervously.
When Chen Fan saw this, he immediately put away the copper piece in his hand. He knew that Liu Siye was coming and he would not be able to use this thing.
The crowded crowd immediately made way for the two of them, and they stopped only when they reached the execution ground.
Liu Siye stood up and dismounted.
Perhaps he had been riding too fast just now and his body had not adapted. He almost fell off when he dismounted. Fortunately, the scholars around him supported him.
Racing all the way made Liu Siye feel uncomfortable, but at this time he had no time to adjust.
Liu Siye quickly went to help the man behind him.
That man was about the same age as Liu Siye, and his condition was even worse than Liu Siye's.
I saw that the man's hair was messy, his face was pale, the Confucian uniform he was wearing was scratched by something, and his legs were shaking a little.
With the support of Liu Siye and a group of scholars, the man got off the horse tremblingly.
It's hard to imagine how they, at their age, could have ridden so fast without falling off their horses.
Zhao Da frowned immediately when he saw this.
He didn't expect that Liu Siye would come here at this time? Needless to say, he also knew Liu Siye's purpose.
Although Zhao Da was not happy, he still stood up to greet him.
"I've met Lord Si Ye, do you know who this is?"
Zhao Da looked at the person next to Liu Siye and said.
"Fang Zhengru."
Although the man looked a little weak, he still said energetically.
Hearing this, Zhao Da immediately looked at Fang Zhengru in disbelief.
The scholars in the audience also became quiet at this time, looking at Fang Zhengru with burning eyes.
Because this Fang Zhengru is none other than the current emperor’s mentor.
"Meet...I've met Mr. Fang."
Zhao Da said nervously.
Unexpectedly, the dignified imperial master would come to Dongyang County, and judging from the situation, he came for Chen Fan.
This made Zhao Da feel very nervous.
"Master Zhao, Chen Fan was wrongly accused."
At this time, Liu Siye on the side said quickly.
Hearing this, Zhao Da frowned even deeper.
"Lord Si Ye, the criminal evidence against Chen Fan is complete, and the Ministry of Punishment has ordered him to be executed. I don't dare to disobey the Ministry of Punishment's order!"
Zhao Da moved out of the Criminal Department and said with a embarrassed look.
When Liu Siye saw this, he didn't panic at all, but showed a proud smile.
"I made a special trip to the Ministry of Justice this time. This is the latest order from the Ministry of Justice to you, asking you to investigate this matter seriously again."
After Liu Siye finished speaking, he took out an official document from his arms and handed it to Zhao Da.
Zhao Da took the official document and read it several times to confirm that it was indeed an official document from the Ministry of Punishment, and the content was exactly what Liu Siye said.
Zhao Da did not expect that Liu Siye would go to the Ministry of Justice to get this official document for Chen Fan.
"Since it is an order from the Ministry of Justice, I will definitely obey it, but there is no evidence to prove his innocence in Chen Fan's case!"
"Who said no? Otherwise, why would I invite Brother Zhengru here?"
As soon as Zhao Dagang finished speaking, Liu Siye said immediately.
