Chapter Ninety-Eight

"What crime did King Chen commit?"

"It is said on the list that King Chen committed the crime of killing the king, and I heard that His Majesty the Emperor personally presided over the punishment, so there will be a drama to watch."

"King Chen kills the king? I don't believe it, King Chen is very gentle, how dare he kill the king. ”

"His Majesty was going to kill King Chen, King Chen was afraid that he killed the king for self-protection, if His Majesty didn't go to the bureaucracy, why suffer from this hardship, according to me, His Majesty is too big..."

"You dare to say this kind of offense, you are tired of it."

"Believe it or not, let's see what King Chen says?"

The people watched the royal guards and the prisoner carts march to the entrance of the city, and there was a lot of discussion.

There was not a trace of white skin in sight on his fish-stained face, his scruffy hair was oiled into bunches, his prison uniform was tattered, and his jagged bones and whip marks could be seen in the breaches.

His eyes were like ashes, he raised his eyes to the sky, the warm sun was shining, he used to like the sun to shine, but now he hated it, the bright sunlight was like a mirror, showing his ugliness in front of people. He stood in the prison car boringly and was insulted by others, and the parade in the streets had erased his remaining dignity.

He looked up, and an egg hit him in the nose, causing him to close his eyes in annoyance.

When they arrived at the execution ground at the entrance of the city, the guards drove Youyu off the prisoner cart and pushed him onto the execution platform.

There are fish forced to kneel on the stage, and there are thousands of people in the audience, with all kinds of feelings, some sarcasm, some ridicule, some hatred, some disappointment, some doubt... But in these thousands of eyes, there are fish that cannot find sympathy and understanding.

Cangluan strode to the seat in front of the stage, took off his cloak and threw it aside, then sat down and waved his hand to signal the eunuch to announce the guilt of having fish. Cangluan understands that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and as long as the reputation of a fish is ruined, it is no longer a threat to him.

The eunuch opened the charge and announced loudly in a girlish voice: "The criminal minister Yu Youyu has an improper heart, commits chaos, infiltrates the northern bureaucracy by unscrupulous meansβ–‘β–‘ becomes the king, recruits troops and horses to invade the border of my Dayan, and spreads rumors to slander His Majesty XiΓ  to murder heroes." His Majesty remembered that he had made a meritorious contribution to the founding of the country, and he could not bear to surrender his crimes, and personally joined the bureaucrats to seek peace, but his obsession did not come to his senses, and he poisoned and killed the king, which was a great crime... The sinner is a fish, can you confess your guilt? ”

After hearing the accusations, people were all disgusted, pointing to the fish and talking about it. "Such a person, deserve!" "His Majesty values him so much, let him live in the palace and crown him King Chen, he still wants to rebel, wolf-hearted dog-lungs are shameless!" …

There are fish who can't hear what people are saying, only how much they look down on themselves. He looked up at Cangluan, who gave him a look, as if urging him to confess.

Yes, he has no dignity, but he can't swallow this bad breath.

"The king is used to die in battle, not to kneel to the villain!" Mu Lang's evil scolding surrounded his ears, telling him that he had always been the king of the northern wing.

A fish faintly heard a shout, far away as if it was coming from the north, and close as if it came from the heart - can you bear the betrayal of the people, and the reputation of the north is ruined? It's not about the honor or disgrace of one person, it's about the whole nation that loves you, how can you do that to it?

Cangluan's eyebrows were slightly anxious, and he knocked on the table and pulled back the thoughts of the fish.

Youyu weighed the current situation in his heart, the past and the present are not the same as in the past, and Cangluan no longer has the strength to deal with the northern wing, because the affairs of the Central Plains are enough for him to worry about. A person who has no love in life is facing at most a death ending, what else is terrible.

He sarcastically said: "At that time, 30,000 Yan soldiers were in the north, 10,000 infantry, 10,000 archers, 7,000 cavalry, 52 chariots, 30 assault vehicles, 30 box cars, and 20 Saimen knife carts..."

When the people saw that a fish had spoken, they all fell silent and listened with their ears.

"A large camp was set up outside the city to wait for His Majesty, and the minister and I did not bring a weapon, and waited for two hours at the meeting. Later, His Majesty came, exchanged a few words, drank a glass of wine and was inexplicably poisoned, and the imperial doctor said that it was the poison of Himegrass, and then accused me of killing the king. Then the Yan army waved its army to attack the city, 70,000 wingmen were killed and wounded, and the northern wings were destroyed. The parliament of the two armies is afraid of discord, and I have nothing to say with 30,000 soldiers and horses..."

Youyu's words had a strong smell of gunpowder, Cangluan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, his eyes became cold, and his fists clenched.

"But let me ask," Youyu shouted angrily, "If His Majesty is sincere in negotiating peace, why did he bring a heavy armored car, could it be that His Majesty has already known about the discord and is fully prepared for a battle?" If you don't believe it, you can go to Beifang to find out what is going on, and see if the arrows and destroyed armor carts that are everywhere are from the hands of Luzhou craftsmen. I don't plead guilty, I confessed before, because I was tortured into a confession! ”

"Yu Youyu!" Cangluan suddenly became furious, slammed the table, and the table was crippled.

Cangluan began to notice that Youyu had changed and became a villain and liar that he disdained to be. Cangluan regretted it too late, and quibbled: "If you don't repent, you still want to discredit me, in order to beware of you, a villain, why can't I wear heavy armor." ”

Youyu wanted to stand up, but was pressed down by the guards beside him, and Youyu said angrily: "You can argue like this, that Yan wingman has a huge disparity in strength, and the wingman is not your opponent at all." I know how to dig my own grave and poison your wine. ”

Cang Luan sneered, this question was really ridiculous, "There are 70,000 soldiers and horses in the wing, haven't you always been self-righteous and empty-eyed?" ”

Youyu looked back at the people: "If you don't think the emperor is suspicious, then I have nothing to say, but everyone should be clear, I was the imperial historian at the beginning, and my status was not lower than that of the king of the northern wing. When I was hunting in Beishan, it was Cangluan who forced me away! He is murdering heroes, no matter what reason he had, he really killed King Meng, and crusaded against King Li, do you dare to say that King Meng and King Li are not the founding heroes! He repeats his old tricks, just to harm me! What's the difference between him and the Emperor of Punishment's faint monarch..."

Before the fish could vomit out, he was slapped by the guard.

Cangluan angrily walked down the stairs, rushed forward and grabbed Youyu's collar, and scolded: "That's because King Meng rebelled, King Li rebelled, and you also learn from them!" ”

Youyu got up excitedly and slammed into Cangluan's chin, knocking Cangluan on his back, and the guard was about to kick Youyu painfully. Youyu now regards death as life, and the guard's few kicks are nothing at all, he spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and said unyieldingly: "Which step am I not passively resisting, if you don't order a declaration of war first, how can I become the king of the north." If I had become the king of the North Wing early, why would I have made it public to the world now, and the North Wing was forced by you! You are a butcher, a murderer! ”

The sound of people talking stopped, Cangluan was already furious, and the masses did not dare to support themselves, they were thinking in their hearts, and there seemed to be some truth in thinking that there were fish.

Cang Luan sensed the uncertainty of people's hearts and retorted: "My poisoning is a fact! ”

"The facts? If you don't ask what happened, then the fact is that you defeated the Northern Bureaucrats, and the fact is that you are forcing me to confess! Lao Tzu doesn't admit it! If you kill me, kill me and die without proof! Kill me and you'll win, you despicable villain! ”

Cangluan trembled with rage, and stood up angrily, his eyes red as if he were spewing out tongues of fire. Youyu's fearlessness at the moment once again made him aware of his failure. His teeth trembled, and he whispered to Youyu: "Very good, Yu Youyu, you won." ”

Cang Luan turned around and left the torture platform, and the torturer who followed behind him hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what should I do, the people seem to be... Suspicious of you. ”

Cangluan wanted to be quiet, but he couldn't breathe smoothly, he gasped, his lips trembled, and said, "On the spot... Palace punishment, I want to see how a eunuch can win me! ”

The torturer was dumbfounded and hesitated: "Your Majesty... It is better to show the public with the head of the flag. ”

Cangluan was helpless against Youyu, a little irrational, and gritted his teeth with revenge: "I said to spare his life, castration, castration!" ”

Xing Yan broke out in a cold sweat: "Yes... ι™›xiΓ . ”

Cangluan gave the order to sit in the sedan chair and returned to the palace angrily.

When the prisoner received the order, he looked at each other for a while, pressed the fish to the stage, and pulled out the fish's pants.

The people exclaimed, looking at the posture as if it was a death sentence and a palace punishment. But there has never been a palace punishment in front of the public, and Youyu really angered His Majesty.

The fish was terrified, kicked the imprisoned legs, and screamed miserably: "If you want to kill or chop whatever, what do you want to do!" ”

If there is a little hope for fish, it is the thirst for a normal death sentence.

The prisoner never felt pity for a prisoner, but when he saw that there was a fish, he felt a trace of pity and had the heart to tear off the armcloth to cover the eyes of the fish.

Youyu's knees were pressed down hard, and then he felt his hands touch his lifeline. If the dignity of the fish was already zero, then at this moment his dignity turned into a negative number, and it was accompanied by boundless fear, he realized the punishment called "palace punishment", and he howled in fright, and his voice was torn and piercing: "Ah... Let go! Let me go! ”

A fish grabbed the hand of one of the torturers in confusion and bit it down fiercely. The torturer endured it and did not resist because it was pitiful to the fish.

The hand under him rose and fell, and with a sharp pain that was heart-rending, Yu Sheng bit off a piece of meat from the torturer, if he hadn't bitten someone else, then he would definitely bite off his tongue.

The scarlet eyes of the fish were about to burst out of their sockets, and they were wailing in the sky, and their whole body was white and sweating profusely, and the pain was hateful. He did not dare to admit what had happened, but the pain of being crushed by a boulder told him an indisputable fact that he was incomplete, in plain sight. This day will be his lifelong nightmare.

The chance of surviving after being tortured by the palace is only one in two, and Cangluan wants the remnants of a fish rather than the life of a fish. Seeing that there were large strands of blood in the fish's body, the prisoner was frightened and shouted urgently: "Hurry up and get the hemostatic medicine!" ”

Some fish were hoarse, and even their tears were bloodstained, and they rolled their eyes and fainted in pain.
