Chapter 302: I Want to Drink
When Du He heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you can't find out, I'll cut off my head and kick it for you." ”
Li Er waved his hand and said, "Okay, I can promise you that Rao Ma Zhou will not die, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!" ”
Du He nodded: "This is nature!" ”
Li Er said with a serious face: "Remember what you said, Du He, if you dare to deceive me, when the time comes, you will be comfortable." ”
As he spoke, Li Er carefully took off his reading glasses, put them in the glasses case, and waved his hand at Du He.
Du He smiled, and ran away.
……
On the execution ground.
Ma Zhou's family was all taken out of the prisoner car, lined up in three rows, kneeling facing north and facing south, each wearing white linen prison clothes, sad carrying a wooden sign, and his hands were tied on the wooden card, the top of the wooden card was triangular, and a circle was drawn on it, with a big word "kill" written on it.
Ma Zhou knelt in the middle, his hair was unkempt, his face was pale, and he seemed to be twenty years old in an instant.
Li Junxian walked over and asked, "Ma Zhou, you're about to go on the road, do you have anything else to say before leaving?" ”
Ma Zhou thought for a while and said: "General Li, if you can, please tell Bo Duhe in Yi County, and say that he just gave me a glass of wine, which is the strongest and most delicious wine I have ever drunk in my life, and when I die, I hope he can put that pot of wine in front of my grave, I want to be able to drink such wine in the underworld, and I will have no regrets in this life." ”
Li Junxian pouted.
What wine is so good?
Unexpectedly made Ma Zhou forget it before he died?
It seems that I will go to Duhe to ask for a cup another day.
"Wow......"
The family members beside Ma Zhou all cried loudly.
And Ma Bin, the initiator, was crying, and a mile of waw sound came out of his mouth, and no one could hear what he was saying at all.
Ma Zhou was annoyed in his heart, and said loudly: "Okay, what are you crying for, Taishi Gong said, death, what is terrible, close your eyes." ”
The Ma clan, a total of more than 30 people, all closed their eyes.
Children as young as three years old and old ladies as old as sixty years old were all spared.
Ma Zhou stood up suddenly, and said to Li Junxian: "General Li, let's do it, I have a request, please kill me, I want to watch them on the road." ”
As he spoke, Ma Zhou's eyes became red and swollen.
At the moment when death was approaching, Ma Zhou suddenly regretted entering the court as an official, and the king was like a tiger, and if he was not careful, he would never recover.
The executioners took off the signs on the backs of the Ma clansmen one after another, and then raised the long knives in their hands.
Li Junxian raised his hand and waved it down violently: "Execution!" ”
The executioners moved in unison, and their long knives slashed down.
"Keep your head under the knife!"
In the distance, a shout suddenly sounded.
Everyone was stunned.
The executioners' movements slowed suddenly.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that on the street in the distance, a group of high-headed horses with red maroon galloped towards them, and they were immediately dressed in purple Duhe.
"Keep your head under the knife!"
By the time Duhe shouted a second time, the horses had already rushed into the crowd and came to the execution ground.
Swish.
Du He turned over and dismounted, and everyone realized that there was still a person on the back of the horse behind him.
Duho turned and pulled the guy off the horse.
It was the chamberlain Zhao Yang.
I saw Zhao Yang gasping for breath, patting his chest in fear, and complaining: "Uncle Yixian, slave...... I almost died by you! ”
Du He patted Zhao Yang on the shoulder and said, "Manager Zhao, saving people is like fighting a fire, you should take care of it." ”
I saw Zhao Yang step forward, take out an edict, and say loudly: "Ma Zhou takes the order!" ”
Everyone present was stunned.
I heard Zhao Yang read aloud: "Ma Zhou's rebellion, the evidence is conclusive, and the ability to punish the nine clans is a big crime, but Ma Zhou has been self-denying and serving the public for many years...... Today, Bo Duhe of Yi County risked death to intercede, I was very comforted, and was determined to pardon the death penalty of the Ma clan, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, Ma Zhou is demoted to a concubine, and he will never be allowed to enter the court as an official, Ma Bin is extremely evil, exiled to Lingnan, and will never be allowed to leave Lingnan for half a step, and the other Ma clansmen, except for Ma Zhou's blood relatives, are all dismissed...... All the houses and land of the Ma clan were confiscated. ”
When the Ma clan heard this, they all stood up excitedly and couldn't help but start bouncing.
"Great, you don't have to die!"
"You don't have to die!"
Ma Zhou also stood up, but he was unusually calm.
He looked at Du He behind the crowd, and for a while, his heart was mixed.
At this critical juncture, many people have forgotten him, but Du He, who has never known him in his life, actually risked his life to intercede.
What a great kindness this is.
Ma Zhou even had the urge to kneel down for Du He.
Li Junxian waved his hand, and the forbidden soldiers next to him immediately rushed forward to loosen the ties for Ma Zhou and the others.
Ma Zhou walked up to Du He calmly and shook it to the end.
"Duhe, from now on, my Ma Zhou's life is yours, if you need it, you can take it at any time." Ma Zhou said seriously.
Du He smiled: "Master Ma, I saved you only out of kindness, you don't have to be so grateful to me." ”
"No, no, I'm already a commoner now, but the title of Lord Ma is tormenting me, I probably still know Your Majesty's temper, you can persuade him to forgive the Ma family, it must have taken a lot of effort, although Ma Zhou has the heart to do his best for you, he has no choice but to wear a sinful body, and has become an ominous person, and he is penniless, great kindness, and he can't repay it, I am really ashamed." Ma Zhou said remorsefully.
Du He patted Ma Zhou's shoulder and said with a smile: "I, Du He, do things, I have never hoped that others will repay my kindness, Brother Ma, since this is the case, it is better to forget about the things before and after you, from now on, although it is Bai Ding, but also at ease, isn't it?" ”
"Yes, yes, haha, that's true!" Ma Zhou burst out laughing, with a hint of desolation in his laughter.
Immediately, I only heard Du He ask: "Brother Ma, I have been closed from the ghost gate, I don't know how you feel?" ”
Ma Zhou thought for a while, suddenly turned his head, stared at Du He seriously, and said, "I want to drink, I want to drink, I want to drink...... I'm going to drink that jug of wine you gave me this morning! ”
Say the important thing three times!
Ma Zhou was originally a good wine man, he had drunk a lot of good wine from the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions, Tubo, Goguryeo, and even Dongying, but none of them were as sweet as Du He had given him. At this moment, from death to life, escape from death, countless emotions need to be released, but the first thing that comes to mind is wine.
"What's so hard about that!"
Du He smiled, directly took out the bottle of sorghum wine, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou took it, but he didn't hesitate, he put it to his mouth and poured it down.
Lu Bu next to him was about to stop him, but he was stopped by Du He.
Du He said lightly: "Drink, as long as he drinks enough, the sorrow in his heart can be diluted." ”
