Chapter 127: Asking for Orders at Noon
For the people of Manjing, February 13, which has not yet warmed up, is a day that will never be forgotten for a lifetime.
But it is also the day in this memory when people's heads are flying and blood is flowing, which makes people's hearts more stable. No matter who the person sitting in that position is, what they want is to live in peace, and whoever tries to waver is their enemy.
Leader Sang is ruthless, but if this ruthlessness can stabilize the country, there is nothing unacceptable to them, as long as they don't have the heart to rebel, this ruthlessness will never fall on them.
The sky was swaying with light snow, and the streets of the capital were crowded on the streets to the noon gate, and when the prisoner car passed by, the rotten leaves and rotten eggs filled the car.
Zheng Heng was born in everyone, and he was ranked first in the previous dynasty, he was raised noblely since he was a child, and his career was smooth after he became an official, and he had never been so embarrassed.
He thought that the law was not the rule of the people, and he thought that with the connections of the Zheng family, it would not be difficult to save him, but he did not expect that because of him, the century-old foundation of the Zheng family would be buried, and the old and young of the family would be affected by him.
A rotten egg happened to hit him on the head, he took it impartially, became the king and lost the king, he admitted, but if it weren't for the leniency of his family in Cangyun Law, how could he dare to take this risk.
If he knew that it would affect his family, how could he not withstand the temptation. The prisoner car stopped, the door opened, and was rudely pulled, Zheng Heng staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Looking up in a trance, I saw that those former colleagues had lost their weight in just a few days, and my heart was strangely balanced.
None of them are better than the others. Wearing a heavy anklet, Zheng Heng moved up the execution table step by step, and couldn't help but think, this person.
Is it like him who is lucky, thinking that the emperor will take back his life when he is about to be beheaded. Looking at the executioner who was holding a butcher's knife and had a bare belly and a fat waist, Yan Jin's heart finally rose with fear, his already heavy feet were even more immobile, and his numb face finally showed panic.
The body was violently pushed from behind, and Zheng Heng fell to the ground, and the scorn around him became even bigger. But he didn't feel ashamed at all.
I just felt scared, and my whole body was trembling with fear. Such a situation was not uncommon, and the guards went up to the two of them to carry him to the middle of the torture table.
One person raised his foot and kicked him in the back knee, and Zheng Heng fell to his knees with a thud. The sharp pain in his knee seemed to bring him back to his senses, and his face was hideous as he looked at the people who watched his jokes, and his heart was full of anger.
"I'm not convinced, Sang Yirong. I don't accept it, you are not a monarch and a minister, what qualifications do you have to condemn me to death, and the harem is not allowed to be involved in politics. You're the one who is guilty! Lu Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, sat at the back of the stage, his eyes were full of ridicule, all women in this world may not be qualified. Sang Yirong is an exception, there are many people in the court who are angry with her. What's more, there is also the emperor's will that almost gives up the country to the country, no matter what Sang Yirong wants to do, no one can put his beak. Zheng Heng's shout made other people react, and after the fragmentary shouting, gradually the thirty-seven voices on and off the stage converged into one voice, and those who didn't understand the situation looked at it, afraid that they really thought that the queen took advantage of the emperor's serious illness to do something to eliminate dissidents. The snow is getting bigger. Lu Liang frowned, stood up from his position and stood on the steps, getting taller and taller. Do you feel wronged? Lu Liang sneered,
"Since you feel wronged, tell me what you have been wronged. The sound was sluggish. Lu Liang walked down slowly,
"How dare you say that you have not done anything treacherous? Don't want to make a change? Didn't greed that from the dragon's work? Zheng Heng forcibly defended himself,
"Now that the Cangyun Kingdom is safe, even if we make mistakes, we will not be guilty of death. Rebellion is not a capital crime, but what is? Isn't it in the eyes of Lord Zheng, you regret that the country is stable? Lu Liang walked up to him and looked at him condescendingly,
"Master Zheng has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for many years, and the law must be able to be memorized backwards, but the official wants to ask, which one can excuse you? Zheng Heng's mind was blank, of course he knew that rebellion against any dynasty and generation was a capital crime, but it was already a rebellion, and they didn't have time to do anything more! Lu Liang bent down, his voice was not loud, but the people nearby could also hear it,
"Seeing that the emperor is not in good health, but he asked people to pretend to be border soldiers to report the assassination of the eldest prince and the eldest princess to stimulate the emperor's illness, if it weren't for the leader of Sang who happened to be in the capital, what would the current situation be? I'm afraid it's not you who will be imprisoned, but I'll wait. Standing up straight, Lu Liang hummed lightly,
"Zheng Heng, you still have to think about how to explain to your Zheng family's ancestors and ancestors underground. Zheng Heng knew that he couldn't live, and because he confirmed this, he didn't want to make others happy, and his expressions were all distorted.
"You think you've got a villain? Heh, Sang Yirong almost brought back all the people who left with the seal back then, do you think they are really willing to set up a new yamen but let the power go by? You wait and see, it won't take long for you to become dispensable people, I admit that Sang Yirong has the ability, and the people who follow her are not pustules, but the more this is the case, the more difficult your life will be, her people can support most of the court, what do you want, I will watch you from underground, and see what will happen to you in the future. This is undoubtedly a hidden worry in the hearts of Lu Liang and others, Zheng Heng's words really poked at his sore spot, just wanted to see him shaken because of this, but it was not enough. You don't have to make a divisive plan, you have an order, and the minister will follow, if there is really that day, I will grit my teeth and accept it, this is the difference between me and you, so at this moment you kneel, and I stand. Looking up at the hour, Lu Liang flicked his sleeves and walked away,
"Master Zheng has a good journey. Lu Liang's face was even paler, and the water droplets on his face didn't know whether they were melted snow or sweat. Someone's coming. I don't know who shouted, and the crowd automatically got out of the way.
It was Wu Cao who came over lazily without sitting right away. Lu Liang hurriedly walked over,
"Why did Wu Xiangu come, but what did the leader command? Wu Cao jumped off the horse and shook the wine jar in his hand,
"The leader has come with me to give you a ride. Bah! Zheng Heng looked at each other angrily,
"The cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion. The leader is not fake mercy, she is true compassion, that's why she tried to make Cang Qulu more humane back then, but you took advantage of her mercy and made her hard work in vain, and now it has changed, are you satisfied? Wu Cao poured a glass of wine and slowly poured it down from Zheng Heng's head,
"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, pay the price for your ambition. Sang Yirong has always disliked the ancient criminal law, but he didn't want to change it too much, the intention of sending this jar of wine was to reduce the pain of the tortured person, but this intention was going to be wasted. Wu Cao was originally an unruly person, Zheng Heng's words aroused her annoyance even more, and when one person poured a bowl, he completed the task, and the leader would not know anyway.
