Chapter 138: Set an example

At dawn, the sky is only faint, and the chimneys, tall and low, are already rising with curling smoke. No matter what happened yesterday and what tomorrow will face, the most important thing for the hard-working and simple people from the moment they open their eyes is nothing more than the word "livelihood".

But this morning was very different!

There was always a fishy sweet smell in the air......

At first, people didn't pay much attention to it, but soon more anomalies were discovered. Originally, the Changping Marquis Mansion was as silent as death, and the closed vermilion lacquer door was still pasted with eye-catching official seals!

This is nothing, the gates of Zhang Shangshu's Mansion on East Street and General Li's Mansion in West Lane are also locked, and there are even uncleaned blood stains on the bluestone road in front of the door!

And when people found out that they were facing the same experience, the Three Princes' Mansion finally realized in horror that something big had happened in the imperial city!

Why, exactly? The answer was soon found in the western suburbs of the Imperial City.

Overnight, there was an additional mass grave on the western outskirts of the imperial city. In the pit, there were broken bodies of various shapes and postures......

The imperial court has an order:

Rebellious ministers and thieves, plotting rebellion,

Expose the corpse for three days to set an example!

A gloomy dungeon.

Mrs. Zhou of Changping is still crying, she has been strong all her life, but at this time, she can't stop the tears in her eyes. She had done her best, but in the end she still sent this child to the guillotine, was she too incompetent, or was fate so ruthless?

Lian Jing's heart was numb, but his limbs were burned in the flames, and he guessed that the sword must have been quenched with poison, which would not be fatal but could make people feel painful.

Thinking of that breezy and moon-like face, Lian Jing sneered: The most ruthless emperor is the heart, and he will torture him like this when he is dying!

There is also this woman who is noisy beside her, if she hadn't hidden Jinyan, why would she have fallen to such a point? Now everything is her own fault, and she still has the face to cry here?!

The double torture of body and mind made Lian Jing more and more irritable, and he grabbed something casually and threw it at Zhou's body.

"Don't cry anymore!!"

A rotting rat landed on top of the gorgeous dress, and Zhou didn't even frown,

But he stopped crying. Dragging the heavy chains, she got up and changed to a position far away from Lian Jing, and spoke leisurely in a place where she couldn't see their faces clearly, "Lian Jing, will it be better if you can't see me?" ”

"Alas......"

With a long sigh, Zhou began to talk to himself.

There is a child, his birth is a shame, and his existence is a taboo.

The first time I saw this child, I had a smile in my eyes and tears in my heart. As his own mother had given him, the child was lovely and pitiful.

It didn't take much effort for me to gain his attachment and trust. On a hot summer evening, he will pick a quiet white gardenia and secretly put it at the head of your bed, and he will also give you a firefly lantern awkwardly with a big red envelope full of heads. Because I told him, I am your mother from now on......

And I am not a qualified mother, I will play with him all day long, and I will not allow him to study or practice martial arts. In my heart, if he could be a little more stubborn and become an out-and-out gentleman, I am afraid it would be more in line with me.

Others secretly talk about me being scheming and vicious, saying that I am "killing people", but what do they know? As long as you can be rich and safe, what about being a straw bae?

According to my selfish intentions, he grew up safely and healthy, and that person began to care more about him. That person's concern is justified, I can't control it, but I have to do my best to stop it!

I quarreled day and night, and I would never allow him to be the companion of the prince, and I swore with my life that I would not agree to him sitting on the throne of the prince!

But...... All in vain. He eventually went to the center of the power and to the side of those people. He should be very happy, in fact I am also very happy, he is a piece of gold, I deliberately let him dust.

However, what that person gave him was Qiong Jelly and Jade Liquid, which was also a poison that pierced the intestines!

In the darkness, the voice of the leisurely conversation suddenly rose, and Zhou scolded hoarsely: "Lian Jing! You idiot! You are a disgrace to him! How could he really be nice to you?!"

Lian Jing was stunned for a while, and just as he was about to sneer at each other, there was a noise outside.

"What are you yelling about!" The jailer with the lamp stopped Zhou, opened the cell door, and pushed forward again

Here come two men.

One is older, with thick eyebrows and big eyes; One is younger, also with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

First, Lian Jing exclaimed, "Father? The Three Princes? ”

Zhou realized that it was time for the curtain call, and sat in a far corner without saying a word, as if he was transparent.

The more than ten years of life that the three princes should leave is a smooth and proud life, with a loving and harmonious father and queen mother, and a generous and capable eldest brother and two brothers. As a well-cared for youngest son, he just needs to live happily, and he thinks that he can live like this carefree for the rest of his life.

Behold!!!

Ying Li glared at the person next to him who was making trouble, and couldn't help crying.

If you rebel, you rebel, why do you have to pull me? I'm unlucky, why did you fall in love with me?

Now it's a good thing that my eldest brother really fell for your tricks, not only did he not believe me, but he didn't even want to see me again. I know that my eldest brother is heartbroken, but do you know that I have eaten all the coptis in my stomach?!

"Woo woo woo ......"

I can't help it, sadness comes from it, and I should leave the whimper.

Lian Jing didn't know how to persuade him, and he didn't even know what to call him, whether to call the third prince or call his younger brother affectionately......

After brewing for a long time, he said in a low voice, "If a man has tears, he will die, I will accompany you, and we can still be brothers in the next life." ”

Ying Li was angry when he heard this, he jumped up and shouted angrily: "Who wants you to accompany you?" Who is your brother? I won't die with you even if I die!"

One sentence choked Lian Jing, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, this younger brother didn't want to recognize him......

Lian Jing set his eyes on his father and received the same gaze. The father and son looked at each other for a while before the Marquis of Changping spoke, but the words were for others.

"Third prince, we won't die with you......"

"Third prince, Lian Jing, you will not be brothers in the next life."

Marquis Changping turned his gaze to Ying Li again, and said with great love and reluctance, "Third prince, I can't promise the rest, but I dare to guarantee that you won't die......"
