In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the year of Gengshen, the snow fell, the snowflakes landed in the city of Nanjing, the white snow covered the whole city of Nanjing, the city of Nanjing became a snow city, the bright and flawless, the ground was full of footprints, and many children played with the snow in the city of Nanjing.

In such a snowy scene, Ma Sanbao saw it for the first time in his life, and even the lake was frozen for more than three feet, and even many people had the courage to walk on the lake, and the entire Nanjing city was covered with snow overnight.

The New Year in Nanjing City is particularly lively, the whole city is celebrating the arrival of the New Year, and the charm of the New Year permeates the whole Nanjing City.

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang woke up early and sat in the lobby, today is not only the thirteenth year of his emperor, but also the day of Hu Weiyong's questioning.

Early in the morning, the security of the Criminal Department became even tighter, and most of the officials of the Criminal Department did not leave the prison of the Criminal Department for a moment, and the robbery incident the night before made them fearful, and even their breathing became slow, for fear that smelling an aroma similar to Ecstasy could make them unconscious.

"Escort Hu Weiyong, Chen Ning, Tu Jie, and important criminals to the execution ground together!" Wei Ze, the secretary of the Criminal Department, opened his mouth, and the door of the prison of the Criminal Department was opened, pushing out a full ten prisoners, and in front of the prisoners, there were three prisoner carts, and Chen Ning, Tujie, Hu Weiyong, and the black-clothed man who had robbed the prison before were naturally thrown into the same prisoner car.

Looking at the down-and-out Hu Weiyong, Wei Ze's heart was full of mixed feelings, once upon a time, Hu Weiyong was in a high position, but now he has fallen into such a field, Hu Weiyong did not look up, he lowered his head in the prisoner car, on the eve of execution, the other prisoners more or less asked for a lot of delicious food, Hu Weiyong did not, he just wanted a coarse tea and light meal, this was the last time he ate in the past few days, and he was full of energy, which was much more ugly than other prisoners.

The cold wind of Nanjing City stimulated Hu Weiyong's nerves, he looked up at the familiar environment around him, and the old tears were crisscrossed, this was the last time he enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Nanjing City. Nanjing City! Hu Weiyong's heart has a thousand words to sigh, but the corners of his mouth can not speak, the days in Nanjing City are his most unforgettable memories, is the most beautiful moment in his life, but also the end of his life, his glory began in Nanjing City, and finally Nanjing City, a generation of prime ministers, in Nanjing City to the end of his life.

The prisoner car drove slowly, and the other three people in the same car with Hu Weiyong had hatred in their eyes, if there was no Hu Weiyong, why would the three of them have to die? At present, they are more or less accomplices related to the interests of Hu Weiyong's case, especially the man in black, for his family, he received a large sum of gold and silver jewelry from Zhu Li, the third highness, and now, his life is to exchange for that gold and silver jewelry chips.

The prisoner car left its mark on the snow in Nanjing, and the mark of the wheel guided them to the end of their lives, the execution ground was on the outskirts of Nanjing, and every step was the last scenery of their lives.

Zhu Di's mansion, early in the morning, there were messengers to wake up Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao, Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao had breakfast, took the carriage prepared for them by the palace, and pulled the carriage for them, it was the popular eunuch Wang Gonggong next to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was responsible for pulling the cart for Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao, in the eyes of other officials, this is a great honor, usually the prince serves the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang alone.

"Huh? Princess, why did you stop? The carriage slowly drove out of the block and stopped in an open area, Zhu Di pulled the curtain and looked at the prince who pulled the cart suspiciously.

"Father!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know when he stood beside the prince, and now the saint appeared in front of them, which made the two people in the carriage a little overwhelmed for a while.

"No courtesy, don't kneel, this is not a court, I also pay attention to so much, today I went to see Hu Weiyong's execution, why pay attention to etiquette?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, although Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, invisibly, he could still feel the spirit of a king who was not angry and arrogant.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Zhu Di never spoke, Ma Sanbao was the first to speak, seeing Ma Sanbao, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled even more happily, he liked this child in his heart, if this child was his biological son, it is estimated that he would have to change the rules he had set, even if he was not the eldest son, he could inherit the throne, but unfortunately, Ma Sanbao had no blood relationship with him, he could only sigh helplessly, and acquiesced in his heart to cultivate this kid into a capable general loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor is on the side, Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di can't help but become a lot nervous, don't look at Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang are parents and children, but they are still divided into the way of monarchs and ministers, he is in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, no matter how noble his identity is, he can't compare to this man, in the carriage he didn't dare to discuss their future blueprint with Ma Sanbao, nor did he dare to discuss business plans, beside that man, these two people looked extremely well-behaved, without the clever color that they had shown in Nanjing before.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's carriage gradually caught up with the prisoner car escorting Hu Weiyong, among the three prisoner carriages, only one prisoner carriage is the real protagonist, Hu Weiyong looked at the luxurious carriage, slightly distracted, he also sat in the luxurious carriage and talked with Zhu Yuanzhang, talking about his ideals, talking about his ambitions, talking about his expectations for Daming, I don't know when, his heart changed, became extremely paranoid, began to go astray, and chose the opposite path of Daming.

"Hu Weiyong, it's you, the harmful Lao Tzu wants to die with you, Lao Tzu doesn't want to die, Lao Tzu still wants to enjoy glory and wealth!" The closer he was to death, the more frightened Chen Ning became, he stared at Hu Weiyong, his mouth kept chattering, cursing Hu Weiyong, beside him, Tu Jie didn't say a word, just stared at Hu Weiyong viciously, just recently they learned a news that their home had been raided, and the whole family was all spared.

In the prison car, except for the man in black who robbed the prison, the other three were all lonely people in the real sense, although Hu Weiyong knew that Hu Pengju was still alive, but he didn't dare to recognize Hu Pengju.

In Zhu Li's mansion, Hu Pengju roared, his eyes flashed with tears, from the mouth of the subordinate, he learned that Hu Weiyong's prisoner car left the prison of the Criminal Department, he hoped that he had the ability to rob the law field with a knife, but unfortunately, the ideal was very plump, but the reality was very skinny, he was stopped by Zhu Li, Zhu Li did not want Hu Pengju to cause trouble at this juncture, this should be investigated, it is easy to find his Zhu Li's head, and even turn all the bad things Zhu Li did before to the surface.

"Third Highness, let me go, it's my father, even if I can't save him, I have to see him for the last time!" Hu Pengju covered his face and was about to leave Zhu Li's mansion, Zhu Li stood in front of him and stopped him, in terms of strength, Hu Pengju couldn't compare to Zhu Li at all, he wanted to break through, but he was defeated by Zhu Li's hands.

"You kid, if you leave my Zhu Li's mansion, it will be life or death, and it has nothing to do with me Zhu Li!" Zhu Li slapped Hu Pengju's face, the son of the previous prime minister looked particularly humble in front of Zhu Li, Hu Pengju's eyes flashed with tears, he covered his face, regardless of Zhu Li's dissuasion, and resolutely walked out of Zhu Li's mansion.

"Don't blame me for dying, Zhu Li didn't remind you!" Zhu Li's voice sounded behind Hu Pengju's head, Hu Pengju shook his head, stepped on the road in his heart, stepped on the snow step by step, his hands were trembling, and the cold wind blew on his thin body, as if it could blow him down.

In the suburbs of Nanjing, if it is an ordinary time, except for the farmers who sell vegetables and the merchants who go out of the city, there will not be so many people, seeing that Hu Weiyong's execution day is just around the corner, the people gathered early, they all want to see what will happen to Hu Weiyong, who was once in a high position.

The prisoner car slowly passed in front of Hu Pengju's eyes, Hu Pengju looked at his father who was haggard in front of him in a daze, he hadn't seen him for a few days, his father was much thinner than he remembered, but he couldn't let his father see his identity, at the moment, there were many people who were masked like him, many of them fell into the well, throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, Hu Pengju wanted to reason with those people, and finally reason suppressed the sensibility in his heart.

"I used to support Hu Weiyong as prime minister, but I didn't expect him to be such a person, he is in a high position and does not think about the people, but thinks about rebellion!" The people's dissatisfaction and discussion are particularly harsh in Hu Pengju's ears, he is not used to his father being so belittled by the people, Hu Weiyong was highly praised in the mouths of the people, since the anti-party incident was exposed, it was the wall that fell down and everyone pushed it, the tree died and scattered, and Hu Weiyong's reputation fell from the sky to the bottom.

The prison car moved forward slowly, and among the three prison cars, Hu Weiyong's prison car was in the most miserable condition, and the Criminal Department hung a plaque on Hu Weiyong's prison car without much trouble, indicating that Hu Weiyong himself was escorted in this prison car, and for a time the people were indignant, and some "patriotic" people threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at Hu Weiyong, as if they had marched before, expressing their dissatisfaction and anger against Hu Weiyong.

"Huh? Ma Wenhe, Zhu Di! Behind the prisoner's carriage is the carriage of Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao, and the luxurious carriage that goes hand in hand with Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao's carriage carries the current saint Zhu Yuanzhang, watching the current saint and Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao go to the execution ground together, Hu Pengju suddenly looked like a cabbage, but the resentment in his heart could not be expressed.

Following the crowd, Hu Pengju gradually approached the execution ground, the execution ground was also covered with snow, there were three executioners and guillotine, the executioners stared at the prisoner car expressionlessly, the body of this group of executioners exuded a solemn atmosphere, in their hands, a lot of prisoners have died, and these three executioners made the people can't help but retreat, not daring to stand up close to observe the execution process.
