Just when Xuanzong and Uncle Yang were discussing, the scholar dressed as a scholar by the city gate looked at the crowd that slowly dispersed, smiled wickedly at the corner of his mouth, flicked his sleeves, walked into the city gate and smiled at the person dressed as a servant, the two walked to the Huangfu together, knocked on the door, the door was opened and half hidden, the two of them flashed in, and walked straight to the pond in the courtyard, where Huang Gongfu was sitting waiting for them.

The two of them bowed forward together. Huang Gongfu asked lightly: "It's done?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's done." The white-robed scholar returned.

Huang Gongfu nodded, and asked the servant dressed as a person: "Are they inside?" ”

"Yes, as the lord expected, they were all dressed in forbidden army armor and were brought."

"Okay, go down." Huang Gongfu still looks at the pond that has completely decayed, he likes to sit here and think quietly about something, this pond seems to give him some inspiration, so that he can quickly come up with a solution no matter what happens, and this time is the same.

Huan Ji motioned for Uncle Yang to sit down, and the old waiter Cheng He brought tea.

"Sir, I'm afraid that this matter will cause a lot of repercussions, I originally thought that no one would know about it, and it would be good to deal with it in a hurry, but now, it is clear that someone wants to make our government and the people discordant. What do you think we should do? ”

Uncle Yang pondered for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, we must not let the people question the new law, otherwise our efforts will be exhausted, and now we can only deal with it, otherwise we will not be able to give an explanation to the people of the world, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to implement the laws and regulations in the future." ”

"Alas, this person wants to completely make the government and those old nobles turn against each other, and it seems that he can only use strong means. I wasn't going to do that. Huan Ji sighed, there was a lot of helplessness in his tone, but some things just didn't come according to his own thoughts.

"These bastards, they're bastards!" Huan Ji suddenly scolded angrily, "That's it, if they want to do this, don't blame me for not giving this face." Sir, go and prepare, I will not bother with this matter, but do it according to your will. ”

Uncle Yang got up and bowed, turned to leave.

On this day, the notice posted by the city gate completely shocked the people, only to see that it was written: Yinping Marquis Mengying and Hezhou Assassin Shi Yan Huan despised the laws of the imperial court, and beheaded the public at the Qushui Execution Ground after the opening of the mansion.

This notice has spread throughout the territory of Zhao Kingdom, and now it is the end of the year, and it has only been more than half a month since he left the mansion, and everyone is waiting for the first major event that caused such a shock in many years.

For Xuanzong and Uncle Yang, this year is not good, there are all kinds of twists and turns every day, but the strange thing is that no one intercedes for them, and even some of the old nobles in it have written to increase the punishment system, and they should be beheaded together with those involved in the case.

Uncle Yang sighed, sure enough, human nature is like this. Uncle Yang ordered Pu Xianyu to lead the soldiers to set up an execution platform with a height of one zhang and a length and width of ten zhang on the bank of the Qushui River, surrounded by white flags, and the execution table was cleaned up so that people could stand.

Just when Uncle Yang arranged these things, those old nobles all ran to the Huang Mansion, this time Huang Gongfu did not close the door again, everyone gathered in the conference hall, you and I said a word, Huang Gongfu listened with a smile, and did not speak. Finally, Ding'an Hou Wang Wei couldn't sit still, and asked loudly: "What do you think of Meng Ying's matter?" It's really a desperate person, and now only the two of us have a fief, and now Meng Ying has a knife on his neck, and the next one is me. Huang Gongfu, you are the first minister, you have to think of a way. ”

Everyone looked at Huang Gongfu together, Huang Gongfu smiled "hehe", took a sip of the teacup, and slowly spoke: "What's the hurry, who told this Meng Ying to find death by himself, now that the new law is supported by the people of the world, there is a person who is not afraid of death, and the government can't use him to make a decision?" You sit at home with peace of mind, and now the knife has not reached your neck, and the government is still paid, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, what are you shouting. Let's all go back. ”

After hearing this, Wang Wei got up and left, and when he was about to step out of the house, he turned around and said, "Huang Gongfu, I hope today's disaster will not befall you tomorrow." Wang Wei snorted coldly and went out, everyone slowly left, Huang Gongfu looked at these people, and also sneered, and said softly: "I want to move my head when I discuss such a big thing with you." ”

There have always been some celebrations to celebrate the end of the year, especially this year's harvest of the people's fields, which should be more lively, but who knows that this New Year's celebration is deserted.

After the Kaiyuan Festival, the government is about to open, which means that the things mentioned in the notice will be implemented, and everyone who can come to the imperial city has come.

On this day, the reeds in the water beside the meandering water were swaying in the wind, and the sun in the distance was as bright as a red lamp, and the wind blew through the reeds and let out a sharp howl.

The one-foot-high torture platform was surrounded by people who watched and waited.

Finally, when it was close to noon, four black-armored soldiers entered, and they stood around the execution platform and divided the onlookers into three feet away. The white flags around were hunting in the wind, and there was silence all around, no one moved or spoke, solemn, and even a little tragic.

The timekeeper shouted: "It's two o'clock in the afternoon!" As soon as he finished speaking, another black-armored sergeant escorted two men wearing black sacks into the execution ground. The onlookers finally got into a bit of a commotion. The two were escorted to the execution platform, and the soldiers tore off the sacks on their heads, sure enough, it was Meng Ying and Yan Huan, but they no longer had the bearing and elegance of the past, and they saw that both of them had unkempt hair and crumpled sackcloth prison clothes.

Meng Yinggang tore open the cloth bag, squinted his eyes a little uncomfortably, and suddenly saw the armor standing next to him, and suddenly shouted: "You can't kill me, I want to see the emperor!" ”

Uncle Yang slowly ascended to the execution table and sat directly behind the execution table. Meng Ying looked at Uncle Yang and shouted loudly: "Uncle Yang, you can't kill me, my ancestors are kind to the imperial court, and you are going against the edict of the first emperor like this!" Meng Ying shouted and saw that Uncle Yang ignored him, and cried and begged: "Lord Taiwei, I was wrong, I was ignorant, and I shouldn't disobey the law, please let me go in large quantities." ”

The announcer shouted again: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon!" ”

Uncle Yang got up and said loudly: "These two people did not abide by the laws of the country, killed people's lives, and were beheaded according to the laws of the country. ”

The armoured soldiers on both sides drew their swords, and the two heads rolled to one side, and the blood flowed down the execution table into the reeds below. The clouds in the distant sky grew redder, like blood.

The people around were silent for a while, and then suddenly shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor, long live the Taiwei, long live the national law!" ”
