Xiong Cang was slapped by his old mother, and suddenly sobered up a little, and when he looked around, the family maids and maids all knelt on the ground and cried. Before he could understand it, he heard Uncle Wu say that he was plotting to rebel and commit treason, and the emperor had already ordered the whole house to be beheaded.

Xiong Cang had just lost his son, the enemy had not been killed, and now he was still guilty, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation, "This is a false accusation, I want to see the emperor." ”

Uncle Wu sneered: "It's not up to you to frame you, the emperor has the final say, this official is now coming to arrest you at the emperor's behest, and you want to see the emperor? ”

"Tie these people up. He commanded in a loud voice, and the men who came after him took the ropes that had been prepared long ago, starting with the maids, and tying them one after the other.

Xiong Cang calmed down at this time, kept a calm face and said nothing, and let himself be trapped by the five flowers.

He knew exactly what the little emperor was thinking, he had long known that Zhuang Yan wanted to get rid of him, but he never had the ability.

Now that his son has died, the little emperor probably thinks that the opportunity has come. Hmph, naïve, thinking that if you find a reason to just put a crime on him, you can crush him? Joke, an emperor who has no real power, what can he do? The reason why he Xiong Cang dares to be arrogant is that he clearly did not take the little emperor in his eyes.

"Hmph, do you really think that my bear can fall so easily? He snorted. Zhuang Yan wants to cut through the mess quickly, but tomorrow, this crime will be solved, and half of the ministers in the court will stand up and intercede for him, where does the little emperor have the ability to fight against half of the court.

He just needs to wait quietly for tomorrow, and everything will become a joke for the little emperor.

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "I don't want to die." Then he saw a small servant push away the soldiers next to him, and ran in the direction of the gate with no death.

Xiong Cang yelled angrily: "Bastard, stop me." ”

Uncle Wu quickly took the bow and arrow from the person next to him, bent the bow and swished the arrow, and the long arrow hit the vest of the fleeing man, and with a thud, the escaped little guy fell to the ground, and he lost his breath after a few strokes.

"Run. Running away is death, not escaping is death, and there are always people who can live if they escape together. I don't know who shouted in the crowd.

All the subordinates were stunned, yes, the gate is in front, anyway, if you escape, you will die, if you don't escape, you will die, and there is a possibility of survival if you escape.

The crowd exploded in an instant, and everyone pushed me into a mess, and fled in the direction of the door.

Uncle Wu shouted: "All those who try to escape will be killed." ”

The soldiers drew their weapons one after another to catch up, Xiong Cang knew that it was not good, it seemed that the little emperor also knew that he couldn't hold up tomorrow, and everyone wanted to kill him. In any case, he has to live through tomorrow, he has to live.

"Mother, untie your son. Xiong Cang was tied up and had difficulty moving, so he jumped to the old mother's side.

The old lady was also frightened by the current situation, and hurriedly untied Xiong Cang, but before she could untie it, a bright sword stabbed head-on.

Xiong Cang was so frightened that he rolled to the ground, narrowly avoiding it, and the old lady also reacted, and the future people stopped her, and said angrily: "If you want to kill, kill my old woman." ”

Over there, Xiong Cang had already stood up and fled away in embarrassment, but he didn't run a few steps before he staggered, looking at the person with the sword in front of him in horror.

"I'm a member of the third grade, you have to kill me. Xiong Cang shouted in horror.

The long sword glowed with a cold light, and the tip of the sword was aimed at Xiong Cang, and suddenly, the cold light flashed, as fast as lightning.

Xiong Cang only felt a flower in front of him, felt a little cold on his neck, was stunned for a while, and then noticed the stinging pain, reached out and touched it, and a handful of blood. Suddenly, with a pop, a bloody streak on the neck was obvious, and a trace of blood shot out, and after a while, it turned into a gushing column of blood like a spring.

Xiong Cang couldn't believe it, and covered his neck desperately, but it was only an unwilling struggle before he died, he knelt down with a bang, and looked at the long sword in front of him that was still dripping blood with blood-red eyes.

The sword cut a trail on the ground and quickly drowned in the chaotic crowd.

Early the next morning, the court exploded, first Xiong Cang colluded with foreign countries to attempt treason, and then Xiong Cang led his family to try to resist and escape, and was killed in the escape, and three generations of Xiong family relatives were imprisoned.

Everything, just a few words, but the truth is terrifying, in just half of the night, a three-grade minister is gone, and it is so fast that people are caught off guard.

The ministers had different thoughts, and everyone knew that it was too strange, but they had nothing to say, Uncle Wu searched out the documents of Xiong Cang's collusion with foreign lands from Xiong Mansion, and even the foreign people were caught, which can be described as conclusive evidence.

Xiong Cang is dead, is it really the general trend has gone, even if he is really unjustly killed, who will stand up and speak for a dead man at this time, so after Uncle Wu finished playing, Zhuang Yan gave an order.

All the male blood relatives of the Xiong family were filled into the border pass, the women were demoted to slavery, and all the family members were sold.

The position of James was vacant, and Zhuang Yan took advantage of the situation to promote the young James Xie Jun to the third grade of James Lee.

That Xie Jun was promoted from Liupin Mansion to Young James in two years, and now he has been promoted to James Shi, just established in the year, such an official career can be described as smooth and enviable.

Things happened one after another, Zhuang Yan's holy decrees were issued one by one, and there was silence in the court, and everyone had their own thoughts. The emperor's knife with Xiong Cang is undoubtedly a warning to them, today is Xiong Cang, who can say that it will not be their turn tomorrow.

Such a thunderous method caught them off guard and made them even more frightened, and the one sitting on the dragon chair was no longer a young and ignorant little emperor who was at the mercy of others.

Today's morning dynasty is especially long, and after the celebrant shouts "retreat from the dynasty", everyone still has some of them not come back to their senses.

Liao Weizhang still had a letter in his arms that had not been submitted, and he hesitated and didn't know whether to leave or stay, but the eunuch stopped him first.

followed the eunuch to the side hall, Zhuang Yan was waiting in the hall, and Liao Weizhang respectfully stepped forward to salute.

"What happened last night?" Zhuang Yan asked directly with a calm face.

Liao Weizhang in the court only said that someone broke into Jingzhao Mansion last night, and the two living mouths left behind admitted that they were sent by Xiong Cang to kill Yao Shi.

Although Liao Weizhang only said a sentence to bring Yao Shi to be rescued, he didn't say that he was saved by him, or who saved him, Zhuang Yan knew that he still had something to say.

Liao Weizhang immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The emperor atoned for his sins, Weichen didn't mean to hide it, he just -----" above the court, he can't tell the truth, all this was designed by the emperor in advance, and the emperor knows better than him.

Weichen set up an ambush in the cell according to the emperor's orders, but he didn't expect that there were two groups of people, one to kill and the other to save. Weichen caught the people sent by Xiong Cang, but let the other way escape, they -----"

"They kidnapped people?" Zhuang Yan's face became more and more ugly.

Liao Weizhang said in a panic: "Weichen should die, they are all people from the rivers and lakes, rich in experience and super martial arts, Weichen has lost more than 20 people, but they still let them escape, Yao Xi was also taken away, Weichen was derelict in his duties, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”

Zhuang Yan was silent for a long time before asking, "Who robbed people?"

Liao Weizhang exhaled lightly, "It's ------ righteous march." ”

The righteous marching army, the biggest rival of the imperial court, has risen rapidly for more than ten years, and now their lords have even claimed the throne in the Weizhou area, and their purpose is to seize the imperial power.

Zhuang Yan's eyes were dark, like the calm before the storm, calm but terrifying.
