Chapter 123: Full Execution (Part 1)
In the next few days, Shen Ning became a reception commissioner and fully cooperated with the investigation of the people from the imperial court.
It can be seen that Yang Kaitai and the others tried to exonerate the Wang family, but unfortunately Wang Xiao and the others were really guilty, if it wasn't for Sima Yue running fast, they would have really been arrested, so under the entire investigation process, they didn't dare to confuse black and white, because they were afraid that they would not be able to leave Pengcheng.
After the review, Sima Yue showed up for the first time and hosted a banquet for several people.
When they saw Sima Yue, Yang Kaitai and the others were obviously stunned, they didn't expect him to become so withered, completely looking seriously ill, not a disguise at all.
"Lord Yang, what are the results of this investigation? When I go back, I have to ask you to tell Your Majesty the truth. Sima Yue picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile.
Yang Kaitai replied: "The evidence of the crimes committed by the Wang family is conclusive, and the lower officials will tell Your Majesty the truth, please rest assured." ”
Sima Yue nodded, and said: "According to the crime, the three clans should be copied and punished, this king doesn't want to wait too long, Lord Yang understands?" ”
Yang Kaitai's heart tightened, and he understood that Sima Yue had already given the court enough face, so the court had to be sensible and convict him according to his ideas as soon as possible, as for the light hair or something, don't even think about it!
The Wang Xiao family is a branch of the Langya Wang family, and the other branch is extremely powerful in the imperial city, if it is operated, it can still leave the lives of most of the Wang family, but now it seems that it is impossible, and Sima Yue's killing intent has been decided.
"Xia Guan understands." Yang Kaitai got up and answered, not daring to refute.
Then Sima Yue left first because he was unwell, and Yang Kaitai and the others were not in the mood to drink, so the banquet ended hastily.
The next day, Yang Kaitai and others said goodbye and left Pengcheng.
Shen Ning was finally able to purify.
I saw him lying on the recliner drinking tea, glanced at the bamboo red tassel on the side, and asked, "The hour is almost up, it's time to do it." ”
Zhu Hongying nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Childe, according to your orders, only Yang Kaitai will be left, and the rest will be killed." ”
The imperial court's Qincha died outside Pengcheng, what would the old emperor think?
Next, Shen Ning is a bloodsucker, ready to suck the southeast palace dry, so if he can add blockage to him, why not.
Especially Xue Tianhe, the captain of the Earth Tiger Guard, threatened Shen Ning before leaving, saying that he would make him look good when he arrived in the imperial capital. I was stupid and shouted before I left the city, how could I keep you!
At this time, Zhu Hongying took out a cloth bag, and when she opened it, there was a silver flying knife inside.
"Childe, that piece of meteorite has already created eighteen flying knives, do you think you are satisfied?" Zhu Hongying has become Shen Ning's housekeeper, serving Shen Ning with all her might, sometimes Shen Ning wants to ask her, can she sleep with her?
Pick up a throwing knife and start with some weight, heavier than the throwing knife he used to use. He flicked his shot, and the knife swished, and it landed on the wall a few meters away.
"It's very suitable, thank you." Shen Ning thanked.
Zhu Hongying glanced at him and said, "Yes, my father explained to me before leaving, you must take care of you, otherwise my sister will have to complain about me." ”
Speaking of Zhu Hongmian, Shen Ning remembered Meng Xingchen's reply two days ago.
Zhu Hongmian took Ji Yue Qingyi to the imperial city, plus Meng Xingchen and He Xuanwu, the most important people to Shen Ning were basically there.
They will lay out in the imperial capital and win over their own forces, after all, after so many years, the Shen family's operation in the imperial capital has disappeared, and there are no connections to the people, and there are no people to manpower, so they must manage it well to provide a strong support for Shen Ning's revenge in the imperial capital in the future.
By the way, He Xuanwu chased and killed Xing Yu and Xuanjizi's female disciples all the way, and found no trace when they reached the imperial city. Meng Xingchen also investigated for several days, but he didn't find anything, it seems that the cunning Xing Yu and the woman did not go directly to the imperial capital.
Shen Ning has also been investigating in Pengcheng for a long time, but he doesn't know what the origin of this female disciple of Xuanjizi is! made Shen Ning uncomfortable, after all, the unfamiliar enemy was the most dangerous.
He had already replied to Meng Xingchen and asked him to stare at the Heavenly Master Dao, Xuan Jizi died in his hands, and that woman would definitely return to the Heavenly Master Dao.
......
In the next half month, Shen Ning stayed in the city protection camp and trained his 4,000 soldiers and horses, which had already achieved initial results.
Yang Kaitai escaped death and returned to the imperial capital, but everyone else was killed, as for how the old emperor was angry, no one knows, but Wang Xiao's conviction came down.
Copying and beheading all over the house, punishing the three clans.
After the will was transmitted back to Pengcheng, Sima Yue couldn't wait for the autumn queen to ask for beheading, and ordered the execution the next day, and the black crowd knelt at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the snow bright butcher's knives fell one by one, staining the ground red.
Wang Xiao was already desperate, he only felt a pain in his neck, and he didn't feel anything.
The once-prominent high-grade family is gone, and when everyone sighs, everyone is in danger. There is no enduring family in the world, and in the face of power, a large number of people will only make the raised knife raise a few more times.
And with the beheading of Wei Chizhan, Sima Jian of Qingzhou was angry and began to order an attack on Xuzhou, which had the momentum of not breaking Xuzhou.
Sima Yue also ordered Li Yuanxiao to go all out to fight in order to take revenge.
It's a pity that Shen Ning can't go to the battlefield.
He belongs to the city protection battalion, and he is the soldier and horse guarding Pengcheng, and he will not be easily called under normal circumstances.
Shen Ning is not in a hurry, it is better to improve the overall quality of the 4,000 soldiers and horses first, and then talk about it, work harder before the war, and shed less tears during the war.
Unconsciously, Shen Ning waited for his seventeenth birthday and entered the eighteenth year.
Just when Xuzhou and Qingzhou were inseparable, the will of the imperial capital arrived.
When Shen Ning knew, it was already an afterthought.
His Majesty's 60th birthday is still two months away, and the time is approaching, so His Majesty issued a decree ordering all princes and marquis to be in person.
Sima Yue definitely couldn't go, and his sick body was likely to die halfway. After Yang Kaitai returned to Beijing after investigating the case of the Wang family, he also told His Majesty about Sima Yue's state, and His Majesty was suspicious after all, so when he sent an internal official to Xuzhou to announce the decree, he also brought an imperial doctor, and his name was to regulate Sima Yue's body.
After the imperial doctor's examination, it was found that Sima Yue was indeed terminally ill, and it was good to live for a year or two, and he couldn't work hard at all.
But the internal official said: The prince can't do it himself, and the prince can do it for him.
There is no great chaos in this world, so His Majesty is exercising one of his few rights to invite all the princes and princes to come to see the situation in the world and who has the most wolf ambitions.
If Sima Yue doesn't let Sima Haiyun go and disobey the order, then the emperor can be dealt with with the crime of disrespect, yes, Sima Yue can ignore the court, what can you do with me?
But don't forget, now Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou next to Xuzhou are all eyeing the tiger, and when the emperor drives the wolf and the tiger, let the three states send troops to attack Xuzhou, and the three states can be justified and annex Xuzhou.
Therefore, Sima Yue was not afraid of the emperor, but the hungry wolf who was looking around beside him.
Shen Ning was hurriedly summoned into the palace by Sima Haiyun to learn about this.
"Shen Ning, what should I do, what should I do? I don't want to go to the imperial capital, I'm worried that once I go to the imperial city, I won't be able to come back! You're resourceful and must have a great idea! Sima Haiyun said anxiously.
Shen Ning comforted: "Don't worry, the prince has to make an idea about this matter!" ”
Sima Haiyun sighed: "My father naturally doesn't want me to go, but His Majesty's will is there, and I can't go if I don't go!" My father was also in distress. ”
"Today's emperor has set up a good means on the grounds of congratulating his birthday, and the princes and princes of the world have to give His Majesty a face, and they cannot directly resist the decree and refuse. But the prince doesn't have to worry, even if he goes, there shouldn't be any danger. The prince can think about it, each force will bring soldiers and horses, as little as one or two thousand, as many as four or five thousand, twenty-one states in the world, eight princes, ten marquises, and eighteen soldiers and horses add up to tens of thousands of people, so many soldiers are in the imperial capital, Your Majesty will not dare to fight them all even if he wants to! Shen Ning said.
Sima Haiyun sighed: "You also said that you should do it, what if you do it?" And those princes and marquis are all cunning people, how could I be their hands? It's better not to go. ”
If Sima Haiyun wants to go, he will definitely take Shen Ning with him, and Shen Ning doesn't want to go, because the whirlpool of the imperial capital is too deep, so don't set foot too early.
"Hey, who called His Highness the son of the world." Shen Ning reminded casually.
Sima Haiyun was excited, and said excitedly: "Yes, who called me the prince, if I am not the prince, wouldn't I have to go?" Shen Ning, you said that if I made a big mistake and was removed from the position of son by my father, wouldn't it be okay? I have a brother! Although he is a concubine, he can only work hard. ”
Shen Ning pretended to be stunned, with an expression that didn't know how to answer: "This..."
The more Sima Haiyun thought about it, the more feasible he felt, they were all father's sons, and it was appropriate for Sima Haiying to go.
"It's settled, I'll go find my mother!" Sima Haiyun was so excited that he left in a hurry.
The corners of Shen Ning's mouth raised an arc.
Whether it can be done or not depends on Sima Haiyun's operation.
Shen Ning didn't stay in the palace for a long time, he rode a horse to prepare to return to the barracks, and was walking on a street, when he suddenly saw a young man with broken legs crawling on the ground, begging.
When he saw him, Shen Ning was obviously stunned.
This person is Wang Beifeng.
When the Wang family was beheaded, Sima Haiyun kept his promise and did not kill him and his mother.
As for letting him inherit the royal family... Don't dream, the Pengcheng royal family has been removed, haven't you woken up from the dream yet? From beginning to end, he was just a pawn.
However, Sima Haiyun left him a house, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.
It seems that he didn't keep his house and fell to this step.
Wang Beifeng lay on the ground and raised his head, and also saw Shen Ning on the horse.
Three months ago, he was still a high-spirited young master of a family, with unlimited scenery, but now he was reduced to begging on the streets for a living.
In this life, just a few decades seem very short, but sometimes overnight, it is a earth-shaking change.
"Drive..."
Shen Ning shouted softly and rode away.
He kept Wang Beifeng's experience in mind and kept himself awake.
There are only two ways in his situation, either desperately to live or die, because he has no way out of being a beggar!
