Chapter 107: Execution on the Field
"What kind of person is Bai Qingxi, doesn't the mother concubine understand? I have warned him many times of his bad conduct, but he still does not change his will, and he openly commits crimes, and this kind of person will drag us back sooner or later. If we take the initiative to clear up our involvement, it is good to leave room in front of our father. It's just self-preservation. Ning Mingchen said.
Although Tu Guifei felt that what Ning Mingchen said was not unreasonable, she was still very angry: "Bai Qingxi is our person after all, you treat him like this now, how do other people think of you?" Is this unloading the mill and killing the donkey? Doesn't it chill others? And in the main hall, you openly refuted Prime Minister Xia's face, how can you tell him to serve the public in the future? ”
"Why, he came to you again? Hmph, I knew he was going to come for you. Ning Mingchen's face sank.
"What are you talking about? What is a complaint? Prime Minister Xia also told the truth. Tu Guifei's face stiffened, but listening to Ning Mingchen's tone, she still couldn't help choking him.
"Mother, I will answer you two questions now. I'll leave when I answer the question. First, you said that you were suspected of unloading the mill and killing the donkey. What does it mean to unload the mill and kill a donkey? Isn't this world all my Ning family? The emergence of such a traitorous scum in the court will only make the people miserable, and such a black sheep should be eliminated; Second, you said that I refuted Prime Minister Xia's face, may I ask my mother, is it my lord who has a big face, or a prime minister's face? If it is his big face, is it because his father also wants to give him face, won't this Ning Xuanguo be his? You say he is difficult to convince the public, what does he need to convince the public? He is just a prime minister, not an emperor yet, and it is not his turn to obey the public or not. Ning Mingchen's sentences were like sharp knives, and the knife pierced into Tu Guifei's heart.
Ning Mingchen stood up, shook his robe, and said, "Erchen's question has been answered." The mother concubine is so self-conscious, there is nothing to do, and the son-in-law leaves first. After speaking, without waiting for Tu Guifei to speak, she walked out like a wind.
Tu Guifei was choked speechless, her face instantly became extremely ugly, and she opened her mouth for a long time and couldn't say a word. She stood there for a long time before she slowly came to her senses.
"Could it be that this kid knows something?" Tu Guifei muttered to herself, her stiff body trembling slightly.
"Xiaowei, don't take it to heart, he is still a child in front of us." A voice came from behind, Tu Biwei turned around, and saw Xia Tianfeng turning out from behind the screen.
Tu Guifei suddenly couldn't control her emotions, her nose was sore, and the tears in her eyes suddenly rolled down. Xia Tianfeng saw Tu Biwei crying, and hurriedly took out a Jinpa from his arms to wipe her tears.
Looking at the Jinpa in Xia Tianfeng's hand in front of him, revealing a familiar green rose, Tu Guifei couldn't hold back her tears, she choked up and said, "After so many years, you still keep it." ”
Xia Tianfeng looked at the Jinpa in his hand and smiled softly: "What Xiaowei gave me, I will cherish it forever." ”
"Cousin, I owe you so much." Tu Biwei said with a wry smile.
"What you owe or not, maybe I owe you too much in my last life, and I can't finish it in my life, and I will pay you back in this life. But I hope that this debt will never be repaid, so that I will have a reason to be by your side forever. Xia Tianfeng said affectionately.
Tu Biwei closed her eyes in pain, and Xia Tianfeng stretched out her hand and tightly grabbed the palm in Tu Biwei's sleeve.
Tu Biwei was silent for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes, and said, "Cousin, my greatest wish in this life is to send my son to the throne. But now Chen'er seems to know something, and though I may tell him it in the future, it is not now. So the woman can't stay. Tu Biwei's eyes shot a vicious light, and the little weakness and gentleness that she had just accidentally revealed had disappeared without a trace.
Xia Tianfeng naturally knew what she meant, and he nodded slightly: "I'll do it." ”
A notice has been posted on the date of Bai Qingxi's beheading, and if the Fenglin City on this day is like the New Year, there will be a lot of people.
On the day of the execution, the people in Fenglin City had been waiting for this day for a long time. Thousands of empty alleys poured out. Both sides of his road leading to the torture site were already crowded with people, all wanting to see with their own eyes the fate of this heinous traitor being beheaded.
Bai Qingxi was tied up with five flowers, paraded in a wooden cage, and there was a dead mark high behind him. In just a few days, he fell from heaven to hell, from being a powerful minister to a prisoner.
His face was pale, his eyes were blank, and his black hair turned gray overnight. It seems to be dozens of years old.
Ruan Ge and Ning Mingyu stood side by side in the crowd, looking at Bai Qingxi, who was now in a prison car.
It was Ruan Ge who interceded to pardon Bai Qingxi's family and beheaded him alone, otherwise even his grandson, who had just been born for a short time, would be beheaded, but his family wealth was still confiscated.
Bai Qingxi seemed to feel Ruan Ge's gaze, he raised his head slightly and saw Ruan Ge in the crowd.
He suddenly exerted all his strength and shouted, "Thank you for leaving a bloodline for our Bai family!" I, Bai Qingxi, know that sooner or later, there will be such a day, and I will die in your hands, and I have no complaints. Obviously, these words were said to Ruan Ge.
Ruan Ge shook his head and sighed softly: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" ”
"People always wake up when they are dying, but it has no meaning." Ning Mingyu said lightly.
The prisoner cart pulled Bai Qingxi to the execution ground, and Ruan Ge did not follow.
She raised her hand and sprinkled a handful of paper money. Suddenly, the heavens and the earth were raised, and white paper was sprinkled, like the first winter snow.
Ruan Ge shouted into the air while scattering paper money: "Ziyue, if you have a spirit in the sky, open your eyes and take a look." Your enemies have come to an end, and I have avenged you. You should go in peace now, eat well, sleep well, and wait for me well. Wait for me to find you, wait for me to take you to a good life. ”
Tears also fell along with the snow-white paper money in the sky. People in a hurry stopped to watch, and they were not only infected by this sad scene, but also burst into tears.
Not far away, someone stumbled over, shouting as he ran: "Daddy, daddy, you wait for me." Your words don't count! Didn't you say you would leave your property to me? ”
The man ran closer and closer, and a shoe was gone, it was none other than Bai Chi.
His eyes were glazed, his face was anxious, and his clothes were dirty and tattered. With his hair scattered, he was clearly confused.
He ran in front of Ruan Ge without stopping, still stumbling and running forward, regardless of direction.
While running, he shouted: "Dad, you wait for me, the family property is mine." You said your favorite thing is me......"
