Chapter 255: The tragic execution of Dongshi

Cheng Yuanzhen had long expected that he would be unable to escape death, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly. He originally tried to maintain his dignity so as not to lose face in public, but from the moment he was escorted out of the prisoner car by the Shenwu soldiers, his legs trembled uncontrollably, so that he could not move an inch, and he was forced to be half driven and half dragged to the venue by the two guards in charge of escorting.

The people gathered in Dongshi Square were furious and threw stones and clods of earth at him, which knocked Cheng Yuanzhen's courage to the ground with the last bit of strength. At this moment, he clearly understood what a lost dog is and when is a dog in the water.

Cheng Yuanzhen raised his head and glanced at the officials watching the execution in the shed, which was also a black and crowded human head, which made him a little dizzy, so he quickly lowered his head again. I don't know how many of the officials in the tent have been persecuted by him, and now everyone is gloating.

This feeling is more like there are countless ants gnawing at his bone marrow, itching and powerless.

The official of the celebrant was a eunuch in the Inner Servant Province, and at this time he stretched out his voice and read out Cheng Yuanzhen's guilt word by word, although the audience was buzzing, he couldn't suppress his high-pitched and sharp voice.

Moreover, every time the eunuch of the Inner Servant Province finished reading a piece, he raised his head and looked down at Cheng Yuanzhen, who was embarrassed.

“…… Cheng Yuanzhen, can you agree with the sin mentioned?"

Cheng Yuanzhen, without exception, recognized them. There is no other reason, he is just waiting to bite Yang Guozhong's house out, he believes that with the grudge between Qin Jin and Yang Guozhong, he will not let go of this great opportunity.

Although he hadn't read Yang Guozhong's part yet, he secretly speculated that this was Qin Jin going to use the main event to suppress the scene, so he patiently admitted it while waiting. At the same time, Cheng Yuanzhen puffed up again, looked up at the seat, he tried to search for Yang Guozhong's figure, but after sweeping left and right, he found nothing.

It is reasonable that Yang Guozhong did not come, but a good show of public attack is a lot more disgraced.

Under this kind of public humiliation, a big reason why Cheng Yuanzhen can still hold back and persist is that he has hope in his heart and hopes to pull Yang Guozhong off the horse.

As the preaching continued, the people of Chang'an gradually understood that the culprit of the mutiny a few days ago was actually the eunuch in front of them, and the people hated the officials, especially the eunuchs who had no subordinates, and they shouted excitedly to cut this eunuch.

Even if Cheng Yuanzhen encountered this kind of battle for the first time, everyone said that he could be killed, which made him shudder involuntarily.

Is it inevitable that we will die today?

Cheng Yuanzhen was unwilling, he still held the hope that he would be able to survive if he died.

But the attitude of the people present made his glimmer of hope faintly shattered, saying that the will of the people cannot be violated, even the Son of Heaven will not mind using an insignificant life to buy the hearts of thousands of people!

As his mind became clearer, Cheng Yuanzhen's face began to turn extremely pale.

The lengthy indictment was read for nearly half an hour, and after the eunuch from the Inner Servant Province announced his resignation, he raised his head again and glanced at Cheng Yuanzhen with eyes full of disgust and pity.

"Cheng Yuanzhen, your guilt is atonement, but the Holy Son of Heaven is benevolent, change Ling Chi to a waist behead, so you can spell it all together, don't you thank you?"

This sentence seems to make Cheng Yuanzhen thankful, but every word is full of ridicule and schadenfreude.

At this time, Cheng Yuanzhen was already in a state of confusion, and none of the expected things happened, Qin Jin actually let go of such a great opportunity, and easily let go of Yang Guozhong. Moreover, the punishment that Qin Jin had planned in advance was actually Ling Chi, thanks to the fact that this person had put on a heart-to-heart appearance when he talked to him the day before, but now that he thinks about it, it was all pretending, and the purpose was to play tricks on him?

The despair finally broke through the embankment and surged out like a flood that broke through the embankment in an instant, completely submerging all Cheng Yuanzhen's sanity.

"Qin Jin, you erector, villain, coward, Yang Guozhong rode on your head to, but he didn't even dare to fart......"

Before he finished shouting a sentence, a soldier had already reacted and stuffed something in his mouth, and Cheng Yuanzhen could only whine and couldn't say anything anymore.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Jin preached in public that Cheng Yuanzhen would be sentenced to death. One was to punish him with a half-cut death. The two were aimed at his family, and all the three clans were killed, and outside the three clans, the men were exiled to Lingnan, and the women were sold into slavery.

“…… Immediate execution!"

This moment came too suddenly, and as Qin Jin landed on the ground for the last time, a wolf-like soldier took Cheng Yuanzhen to the place of execution.

Today's finale finally began, and the people were boiling, cursing, cheering, and venting all their hatred and unhappiness on this eunuch surnamed Cheng.

The so-called punishment of beheading is to cut the prisoner in two from the waist with an axe. And the tortured person often has to endure great pain and torture before he is killed.

The hangman, who had been prepared, stepped forward and rudely ripped off Cheng Yuanzhen's tattered and filthy coat, revealing his skinny upper body. However, the executioner did not stop, and went to pull Cheng Yuanzhen's pants again.

Cheng Yuanzhen was like a walking corpse and did not react, and let the executioner do it, until the onlookers let out excited shouts and shouted to see "below", he suddenly woke up as if he was shocked, trying to protect the last trace of dignity with his hands.

However, how could Cheng Yuanzhen, who had already broken a hand, resist the executioner with a big waist and a round waist? He was like a poor chick, all resistance was in vain, and finally the last pair of calf nose pants that could snot was torn off.

This greatly satisfied the curiosity of the onlookers, and the people who were close to them made a satisfied cry. However, the atmosphere in the tent can only be described as frosty, and humiliating Cheng Yuanzhen will certainly make the officials who are persecuted by him feel angry, but at the same time, another emotion swells up and gradually dominates. That is the feeling of sadness of the rabbit and the fox, who doesn't know that Chang'an's official is not easy to do? I can't say which day, Cheng Yuanzhen's fate at this time will be a lesson from the past.

Although Chang'an's officials are not easy to do, there are still thousands of officials who want to enter Beijing as officials even if they risk their lives.

With a scream, it sounded sharply, but on the execution ground, Cheng Yuanzhen, who had just been intact, had been broken into two. The executioner was carried out by an old executioner with 20 years of execution experience, and this axe was cut down with precision and neatness, without dragging mud and water.

Red, yellow, black, and green sprayed all over the ground, and Cheng Yuanzhen's upper body spasmed strangely, trembling, and struggling. This kind of pain is difficult for those who have not experienced it to experience. The onlookers immediately had many times this bloody scene, and the vomiting was irritating. However, the executioner's face was expressionless, as if he had just been cut down by the waist was nothing more than a raw bird like a chicken, a duck and a goose.

Inside the tent, there was an official who had already been frightened, as if his hands and feet had stopped obeying the call. This person is Yang Guozhong, who has newly returned to the political hall as the prime minister. If it weren't for the strict order of the Son of Heaven, officials above the fifth rank in Beijing would have to watch the battle, and he would not have come here.

Moreover, Yang Guozhong's torment in the shed was even better than that of Cheng Yuanzhen, who was waiting to be slaughtered. He hadn't read the last words that Qin Jin presented to the Son of Heaven beforehand, and prayed anxiously in his heart not to be bitten out by Cheng Yuan Zhenpan. If he is bitten out in front of the people and officials, even if his life is completely finished, I am afraid that even the Son of Heaven will no longer protect him.

However, until Cheng Yuanzhen was beheaded, Yang Guozhong suddenly understood that he was finally safe, as long as Cheng Yuanzhen died, who else could threaten his position? However, Cheng Yuanzhen's tragic situation still made him feel palpitations, and in the years of struggle, there were not a few people who died in his hands, but he had never personally observed the punishment.

Finally, Yang Guozhong couldn't hold back the tumbling in his stomach anymore, and leaned over and squirted out all the undigested food.

At the moment of vomiting, Yang Guozhong suddenly felt helpless, he was so embarrassed today, and he didn't know how many people would become the talk of the conversation after tea and dinner in the future.

However, the officials who were in the same tent as Yang Guozhong all pretended not to see the embarrassing thing that had just happened, who didn't know that this Yang Xianggong was notoriously small-minded, and if he was enmated because of this, it would be wronged.

Only Qin Jin held back his smile, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring clean water, and brought a towel to do a simple cleaning for Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong patiently cleaned up, only to feel extremely embarrassed, he didn't dare to look at Qin Jin's gaze for the first time, even if he didn't have to look at it, he knew that this person's eyes must be full of schadenfreude and mockery. Don't look at the courteous appearance of this person now, who doesn't know what he thinks in his heart!

But he secretly swore that as long as the day passed, he would let this shaft taste regret. Since Qin Jin gave up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't blame him for being ruthless.

The torture of all kinds of torture finally ended before dark, and after dragging his tired body back to the house, Yang Guozhong was a little excited, he was already sober when he was on the road, hatred was hatred, but now is not the time to completely break with Qin Jin's shaft. Qin Jin seems to be quite valued by the Son of Heaven now, or the Son of Heaven is quite jealous of this Son, and it is obviously not a wise move to turn his face with him at this moment. You must always see the attitude of the Son of Heaven before making a decision.

Yang Guozhong believes that the Son of Heaven's reuse of Qin Jin at this time must not be out of his heart, judging by the current situation, it is more like fear to occupy the majority.

Finally, Yang Guozhong, who was lying on the couch, fell asleep in his thoughts!
