Chapter 410: Who Wants to Harm Him?
In just four days, there were countless excerpts in the letter against Mei Cangyun, and Su Wanfu helped the emperor display them one by one, and in the end, there were more than 70 large and small charges.
Of course, these more than 70 charges also include the evil deeds done by the domestic slaves of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the crime of lax discipline and bullying is considered to be confirmed.
And just in response to those old sayings, the walls fell down and everyone pushed them, the trees fell and scattered, and the once prosperous Prime Minister's Mansion is now only a gorgeous mansion gate, and the maids and servants in the mansion are all dismissed, and the servants who are deeply entangled with the master are all guilty. Regardless of the lineage, all the people of the Mei family are on death row, and they will be beheaded today. It seems that he has already felt the monstrous resentment in the prime minister's mansion, and the people have to walk around it when they pass by.
There are all kinds of rumors in the capital, and the story has derived dozens of whimsical processes. And the most strange thing is that the court tried Mei Cangyun's case of collaborating with the enemy and treason, the time was very short, and after almost reading out the charges listed one by one, he didn't even give people time to defend himself, so he hastily cured Mei Cangyun's big crime, and all the people had to be beheaded, and they still pushed the beheading platform to show the public, and they didn't even leave a whole corpse.
This is actually a very unusual thing, Mei Cangyun said that he was also the prime minister of a country, even if he was punished, as an emperor, in order not to spread rumors about his meanness and unkindness to the outside world, he would choose to give those important ministers or nobles a decent death.
Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to be executed all over the house, the whole body can be kept, and there is no need to put it in a place like asking for beheading, so that all the people in the capital can see it clearly, but the emperor did it.
And in the few days when Mei Cangyun was put on death row to beheading, Mei Cangyun seemed to accept his fate, and did not cry out for injustice, and even he was silent, except for two people who went to see him, no outsiders had communicated with him. He even only needs a few bowls of water a day, and except for the reaction when he eats, he usually shrinks in the corner, hides in the shadows, and doesn't even say a word.
On the platform, there were two full rows of people kneeling in front of and back, each of them with a dead face, their eyes glazed and unfocused, as if they had already despaired of everything.
Beside him stood four executioners, each with a large knife in his hand. The knife looked extremely sharp, and the cold light overflowing from the blade pierced people's eyes a little.
"The hour is coming. The prisoner Mei Cangyun, before the execution, do you still have something to say? The prison officer read all the words that the prisoner had to say before the beheading expressionlessly, Mei Cangyun raised his head and glanced at the prison officer with cloudy eyes, and suddenly smiled.
The face of the warden was not good-looking. What did the emperor mean by suddenly handing over this task to him, he had been thinking about it for the past two days.
Dacheng's official position system already has the position of supervising and beheading. The supervisor is located in Dali Temple, and his official position is only one level away from Dali Temple. All those who were executed by the imperial court, or beheaded for public display, were executed by special prison officials.
There are two officials in charge of beheading, and they take turns to supervise and behead, and they usually don't change people easily. However, after Mei Cangyun asked for the crime, the emperor sent him to personally supervise the beheading, but she couldn't help but think about it too much.
Shang Jingwei's face was a little gloomy, and Mei Cangyun's smiling expression made him feel a little flustered. The emperor sent him to personally supervise the beheading, and she didn't know if there was any temptation from the emperor.
Although Mei Cangyun was going to die, he just had a sense of panic that always lingered, which made his hand holding the beheading order tremble uncontrollably.
And when Mei Cangyun was still kneeling on the beheading platform and waiting to ask for a beheading, Fang Xiaoyu stayed in King An's mansion and didn't come out, but tossed flowers and plants in the courtyard.
"You're not going to see what happens to him?" Ye Xici stood behind Fang Xiaoyu and handed over a kettle full of water.
Fang Xiaoyu took it, poured a circle of flowers and plants in front of him, and said, "An old man who is about to die, what is there to see." ”
"I had a hunch. Mei Cangyun's head cut off may not be calm. Ye Xici circled Fang Xiaoyu into his arms and continued: "He is the prime minister of the court, how can he not have any arrangement at all. ”
"Other people's heads are about to fall to the ground, if there is any arrangement, it is just this morning and evening, let's wait slowly, we can always wait for the result." Fang Xiaoyu obviously agreed with Ye Xici's statement.
Mei Cangyun was too calm. The dog will jump over the wall when he is in a hurry, and the rabbit will bite when he is in a hurry, Mei Cangyun has worked hard for so many years, is he really willing to die? Even if the emperor ordered him not to disobey, she would not believe that he would give in to his fate.
"Mei Chunshui has been looking for you recently?" Ye Xici asked suddenly. Of course, he knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of suffering, but there was one person who escaped, and that was Mei Chunshui, who had faked his death and married Shen Shanruo.
In the past, Mei Chunshui would talk to Fang Xiaoyu from time to time about family life, because Shen Shanruo's medical skills were superb, Fang Xiaoyu also thought that it was best to have such a person available, so he had always maintained a good relationship with Mei Chunshui.
Although Mei Chunshui has lost the status of Miss Sun of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is much more cheerful than before. On weekdays, he helped Shen Shanruo in the Shen Family Medical Center, and the husband and wife lived in harmony.
"I haven't seen anyone in days." Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and continued, "It's hard for her." Although she always says that she hates everyone in the Prime Minister's mansion, in fact, people's hearts are flesh and blood, so why doesn't her resentment want to be loved by her relatives? Now that I have sent her Prime Minister's Mansion to a dead end, she should avoid me if she wants to. However, Shen Shanruo came here yesterday and explained a lot to me, he was also afraid that I would misunderstand Mei Chunshui and hate me, and he was afraid that I would not even let Mei Chunshui go. ”
Fang smiled bitterly.
Her relationship with Mei Chunshui was already very complicated.
In her previous life, Mei Chunshui entered the second prince's mansion as a side concubine, and believed Ye Shucheng's sweet words, because she was jealous, she kept thinking about how to harm her. Coupled with her inaction, the other party thought she was showing weakness, so she intensified even more.
This life came back to life, originally she planned to solve Mei Chunshui, but in the end, Mei Chunshui saw through Ye Shucheng's essence early, but she lost interest in him. And she also saw the other side of Mei Chunshui, the other side that she had never understood or even heard of in her previous life, so she also changed her mind, thinking that since there is no longer an intersection, the revenge for killing her body will be forgotten.
Not only that, Mei Chunshui married Shen Shanruo, but she was a little obedient to her, so she didn't care anymore.
But in the final analysis, the other party is also from the Prime Minister's mansion, or Miss Sun, who is from the Prime Minister's house, although she resents Mei Cangyun and others for using her, but in the end, it is blood and family, how can she not care at all.
Fang Xiaoyu knew that maybe her relationship with Mei Chunshui would be like this. It wasn't too close in the past, but there were also talks and jokes, but because of the fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid it will become more and more distant in the future.
Every time I see her, I think that she is the murderer who killed everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she is not interested in avenging the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am afraid it will be embarrassing to say goodbye.
"Don't be disappointed." Ye Xici didn't know how to persuade. Mei Chunshui's thing is really difficult to handle.
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "There is nothing to lose." I was just a casual acquaintance with her. When I decided to use the entire Prime Minister's Mansion to lure the snake out of the hole, I had already thought of such consequences. ”
Ye Xici buried his head in Fang Xiaoyu's shoulder, and wrapped his arms around Fang Xiaoyu's waist from behind, which was regarded as comfort.
At this time, in King Gong's mansion, Ye Shucheng was also excited because he got Mei Cangyun's hidden connections. He originally planned to go to the beheading platform to see how Mei Cangyun's family landed on the ground. But thinking about it after all, it was a deal with Mei Cangyun, and it seemed a little unkind to fall into the well at this time, so he stayed in the palace, with a pot of wine in front of him, and he was a little drunk and poured himself.
He believed that these forces of Mei Cangyun would definitely increase his strength by a large margin. Although his father is checking tightly for the time being, as long as this period of limelight passes, these connections hidden in the shadows will become a powerful hole card for him to compete for the throne.
As soon as he thought like this, Ye Shucheng felt heroic in his heart. An excitement that was one step away from 10,000 people instantly filled the whole body.
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and it was not long before the door was knocked on and rattled.
"Lord Wang, it's not good! Rajah! The man outside the door was breathing heavily, accompanied by a flustered tone.
"Come in." Ye Shucheng frowned and called the subordinates outside in and asked, "What's going on, so flustered?" ”
"Lord, it's not good, Lord." The subordinate secretly glanced at Ye Shucheng, then hesitated, and saw that Ye Shucheng was already impatient, so he said: "I went to ask the beheading platform to see it, and the prime minister's family has already fallen to the ground." ”
"Isn't that something that has been known for a long time? Why all the fuss? Ye Shucheng snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with the fact that his subordinates disturbed his interest.
"But my lord, before the prime minister died, he said something he shouldn't have said." The subordinate was very anxious, but he didn't know how to speak. He knew that the prince would be furious after he said it, so he didn't know how to speak.
"What did he say?" Ye Shucheng's whole face was wrinkled, and he didn't know what Mei Cangyun would say before he died to make his subordinates so flustered and anxious.
"This ...... Prime Minister He...... Before he was asked, he suddenly confessed, saying...... Say ......"
"What the hell did he say!" Ye Shucheng was completely impatient with his subordinates grinding and chirping like this.
Cheng confessed to what he had done, and ...... also explained that he was not the mastermind behind the scenes, and the main messenger was someone else. The servant finally said.
Ye Shucheng felt a sigh in his heart, as if he had a bad premonition all over his body.
"Who did he say was the mastermind behind the scenes?" Ye Shucheng's heart was beating a little fast.
"Yes...... It's the prince. The subordinate lowered his head and did not dare to raise it.
"What do you say? You repeat! Ye Shucheng was furious, slapped his palm on the table, and the wine jug on the table poured in response, and the wine in the pot spilled all over his body.
"Lord, that's what Prime Minister Mei said before he died. He said it in front of the people in the capital, and said that he had left evidence, and as long as the emperor went to investigate, everything would be revealed. The more the subordinate said, the quieter his voice became, but if he didn't mention it, if the emperor summoned the prince into the palace later, the prince would be kept in the dark, which would definitely be extremely unfavorable to the prince. Therefore, although he knew that the prince would arise, he still stubbornly said: "What the prime minister said has a nose and eyes, and the people around the beheading stage are in an uproar, if it spreads, it will definitely have a great impact on the reputation of the prince." The person who was beheaded was Lord Shang Jingwei Shang, he listened to Prime Minister Mei's words, and without waiting for Prime Minister Mei to finish speaking and produce evidence, he immediately ordered Cheng Cheng to be beheaded, but instead made the people below think that this was the imperial court to protect the prince and kill the prime minister's mouth. Originally, the collapse of the Prime Minister's Mansion was all rumored to be Fang Xiaoyu's fault, but now the spearhead has all turned to the prince. The subordinates knew that the matter was very important, so they immediately came back to report to the prince. I don't know when the matter will reach the ears of the emperor, but the prince still plans early, so as not to be calculated. ”
Ye Shucheng's mind was a little confused. He made a deal with Mei Cangyun on the front foot, and Mei Cangyun gave him connections that had not yet been exposed, in exchange for her daughter Mei Ke's worry-free life, it is said that he should not suddenly retort and calculate that he is. However, this kind of thing still happened.
The first person that came to mind in his mind was Fang Xiaoyu. It's not just that Fang Xiaoyu has always been against him all along, even if it's a single motive, Fang Xiaoyu is the most likely.
Mei Cangyun's retort, it was originally rumored that Fang Xiaoyu framed the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now it has all turned to him. If the people believed what Mei Cangyun said before his death, and thought that this treasonous attempt to usurp power by the enemy was really instructed by him, they would believe that the disaster of the Prime Minister's Mansion might have another mystery, and once the rumors spread, it would be tantamount to a disaster for him.
And Shang Jingwei was anxious to kill Mei Cangyun, and he seemed to have the suspicion that there were no three hundred taels of silver here. Such a move will undoubtedly make the people more confused, and then further speculate, and what will evolve into it in the end, and the consequences are difficult to estimate.
And Fang Xiaoyu took advantage of this incident to successfully take himself out, and it became him who carried this black pot. So Fang Xiaoyu is the most motivated. She also has no shortage of means.
However, what he couldn't figure out was that if this matter was really planned by Fang Xiaoyu, how did she ask Mei Cangyun to change her words temporarily?
The Prime Minister's Mansion is full of people. His Mei family is left with Mei Ke pouring a bloodline. didn't even care about Mei Ketian's life or death, but came to frame him? If there were no conditions to impress him, with the mind of Mei Cangyun, an old fox, how could he be willing to obey Fang Xiaoyu's orders?
What's more, the old book of the disaster in the Prime Minister's Mansion is due to Fang Xiaoyu, it is said that Mei Cangyun is too late to hate her, how can she help her?
There is also Shang Jingwei, his sons and daughters all died in the hands of Fang Xiaoyu, and Mrs. was a little nervous at this time because the blow was too big. With such a murderous revenge, he is even less likely to help Fang Xiaoyu clear her name. He was already good if he didn't fall into the well, how could Fang Xiaoyu be able to let him help her?
However, if it wasn't Fang Xiaoyu, who was it? Except for Fang Xiaoyu, who else wants to harm him?
Could it be the crown prince? (To be continued.) )
