Chapter 159: Ambush

After the dispersal of the dynasty, there were ministers who congratulated the newly promoted magnates Huang Bo, Liu Guang, Wei Yun and others. Such a heavy personnel change is naturally spreading in all directions at the fastest speed. Before Wei Yun and the others went home, most of the people in Xinzheng already knew that South Korea had changed. The previous situation of Zonggui covering the sky with one hand is gone.

"Did you hear that? The king announced the restoration of the system of three dukes and nine kings! Passerby Jiashen said mysteriously.

Passerby B had an expression that I had known for a long time, and said: "Lang Zhongling, Wei Wei, and Taifu are all young talents under thirty!" Even Zhisu Neishi is only thirty-five years old. They are the king's henchmen! Now, we can't mess up in South Korea! ”

Passerby C also nodded in agreement, and said with emotion: "Yes! Zhang Chengxiang, Zhang Yushi, and Captain Taiwei in the prime of life. The young talents in Jiuqing account for most of them, and in my opinion, the most powerful is still Lord Chen of Shaofu. Admiral Wang promoted him from a commoner to a high-ranking official with a rank of 2,000 stones, which is really courageous! How much ability does Chen Shaofu have to impress the king! ”

"That's it!" Passerby A chimed in, "Do you know who the first ruling Jingo is? ”

"Who is it?" Passerby B and Passerby C asked in unison.

"It's Wei Yun next door to me!" Passerby A said proudly.

Passerby B and Passerby C showed a look of disbelief and asked casually, "What does Ji Jinwu do?" Sounds like an officer! ”

Passerby A became anxious when he heard this, and defended: "Zhi Jinwu is in charge of Xinzheng's guard duties!" Where is this officer! A general who commands tens of thousands of troops! The rank is more than 2,000 stones! Wei Yun was just a small subordinate at the beginning of last year, and later made great contributions in the Huayang War and was transferred to the prince's personal guard. After that, he made a lot of military achievements, and after the king ascended the throne, he naturally reused it! ”

Passerby B and Passerby C suddenly realized and said, "So, you are very familiar with General Wei!" ”

"That's natural!" Passerby A looked swaggering. Although the face is smug. Passerby A knew that his relationship with Wei Yun's family was not very good. Now Wei Yungui is a general, and even his younger brother Wei Yazi has made great contributions, and I heard that he will be named an uncle. Seeing that Wei Yun's family is out of the picture, he can't climb high. I knew that when Wei Yun's family fell next to the road, he should have helped out.

Passerby B and Passerby C don't know the depths. Immediately shouted at passer-by A to go into the wine shop next to him, and discussed that now "one person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven".

Xinzheng, prison, after layers of guards, the new Sikou Sima De finally met Han Xin and his group. Now they still have the appearance of the original power. In the gloomy cell, Han Xin, like everyone else, was tied to a pillar with ropes. Fearing that the rebels would commit suicide before the execution, the jailers who guarded them had to resort to such means. Eating and drinking Lazar were all in one cell. You can imagine the taste in it.

"Go untie the ropes!" Sima De said with a displeased face.

The jailer beside him showed an embarrassed expression and said in a slur manner, "Lord Sikou, what if the prisoner commits suicide?" ”

Sima De was furious when he heard this, and as soon as the murderous aura accumulated by years of marching and fighting was slightly discharged, the jailer opened the cell door in a panic. After a while, Han Xin, who had been freed from his shackles, was about to fall to the ground with a bang. Being tied to a pillar for a long time, no matter how iron-beaten a man is, he will be numb because his body is not exercised, not to mention these pampered nobles. Sima De took a step faster. Helped Han Xin, who was about to fall to the ground.

Han Xin greeted in a hoarse voice with a tired face: "New Zheng Wei! How do you have time to see the old man? ”

Sima De replied calmly: "Now I am Si Kou. The king has sent me to hear your case. ”

"Hehe", Han Xin showed a disdainful expression and sneered: "Trial? What is there to try? Sima De, your official has been promoted so fast! Others say that one will make a thousand bones wither, and I see that your position is stepping on our heads, and it's about the same. ”

Sima De knew that the other party still had a deep grudge against him. After all, it was he who led someone to pull Han Xin and his group out of their hiding place. If they didn't have themselves, maybe they would have survived for a few days, or even escaped.

In response to Han Xin's ridicule, Sima De replied without hesitation: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other!" If I'm really greedy for riches. Twenty years ago, Sikou's position should have been his own. I, Sima De, are worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, and worthy of my parents and brothers. Why would Master Zongzheng lay such a nasty accusation on me! The merits and demerits are left for future generations to comment! ”

Han Xin smiled miserably after hearing this, and sighed: "General Sima's upright heart, the old man can be regarded as having seen it. The king was defeated, and the old man confessed. In this prison where life is worse than death, it is better to be happy with a knife! If you have anything to ask, just ask! ”

Sima De looked at the "Zonggui" in front of him with a colorless face and a cloak exuding from his head, and he felt unbearable in his heart. Unlike Sikong and Sinong, Zongzheng Han Xin is an old minister who does not consider his own interests. His ideas are aging and his practices are extreme, but he is loyal to South Korea, but he is on the wrong path after all, and perhaps, death is the best relief.

"Tell me to go down, the prisoner should bathe and change clothes, prepare another table of food and wine, and the official should have a good conversation with the prisoner!" Sima De hesitated slightly, then turned around and commanded. Since Han Xin is so cooperative with his work, there is no reason for him to treat the other party as an ordinary prisoner.

The jailer's expression changed, and he finally took the order to retreat. Sima De is willing to take on such a big role! Anyway, I'm just a little jailer, and I won't be the one who will be punished.

After hearing this, Han Xin laughed and said, "Sima De, Sima De! You're such a temperamental person! ”

Sima De smiled slightly, simply sat on the ground, and said: "The old man has always been like this!" Forget it, I should call you an old man! The old man is sixty years old this year, and you are sixty-two years old, two years older than me. ”

"It's really two years old!" Han Xin nodded. Han Xin, who opened his heart, seemed to talk a lot, and he nagged about the things of his youth one by one, none of which were related to the case. But Sima De still listened patiently, gags from time to time, and reminisced about the past together.

The two kept talking until the jailer reminded that the hot water was ready, and Han Xin reluctantly got up to take a shower and change clothes. Half an hour later, the rejuvenated Han Xin walked in. Sima De got up and saluted, and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry brother, I can only entertain you in such a humble place." ”

Han Xin waved his hand and said, "It's already good!" I'm already grateful that you've allowed me to have such a decent meal. Let's not talk about the case today, let's talk about the wine! ”

"That's right!" Sima De raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Han Xin laughed and said, "Fight with the old man, the old man hasn't been afraid of anyone!" ”

The next day, as Sima De expected, Han Xin originally revealed his crimes one by one, and provided a lot of evidence of the crime that Sima De did not grasp. Sima De knew very well that Han Xin was desperate at the moment, and he only wanted to die. As soon as Han Xin, the first offender, pleaded guilty, the original Sikong Jiying, Si Nong Li and other main culprits, who were still dead and did not admit their guilt, also pleaded guilty one by one.

Two days later, Sima De handed over the indictment of Han Xin and others to Han Wangran for review, and petitioned for execution. Han Wangran agreed, and changed the punishment of five horses to beheading.

On the third day, the huge Xicheng Law Field was crowded with onlookers and the people of Xinzheng. The nature of the people of the country is like this, not to mention the grand occasion of killing four counts, two viscounts, four barons, and fifteen officials from 600 to 1,000 stones in one day, who would want to miss it?

Many people gloated at the twenty-five nobles kneeling on the ground, in the Dharma field of the East City, there were more people killed today, as many as 100 officials were the key executors of the rebellion, and of course, there were more clansmen of the twenty-five people. However, compared with the heavyweights in the West Market, the people of Xinzheng are undoubtedly more willing to come to the West Market to join in the fun!

Han Xin looked at the people who were pointing at him, and a bitter feeling filled his heart. What's wrong with this world, it's time to change the iron law of not punishing a sergeant. Thinking of Dongshi's relatives who were about to be beheaded, Han Xin didn't know whether to thank Han Wangran or not. Is it merciful or cruel to separate oneself from one's principal and accomplices, and from one's loved ones?

Seeing that noon was approaching, Sima De, who was in charge of the beheading, narrowed his eyes. The axeman began to drink, spitting on the shiny machete. Many prisoners began to incontinent, and timid commoners even began to cover their eyes.

There were bursts of cries begging for mercy in the eastern and western courts, and all the prisoners and their families knew that they would not be pardoned, but they still wept bitterly. The knife and axe hand was accustomed to such a big scene and was unmoved. The knife and axe man in charge of killing Han Xin lowered his head and said in a respectful tone: "My lord, I will start quickly, you won't hurt." ”

Han Xin said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't become a ghost and ask for your life!" Thank you very much! ”

"The king asked me to sue you, and the grandson of the adult, who is only a few months old, has been saved by the king. Whether he is rich or poor in the future depends on him. He wouldn't have known there was such a grandfather as you! ”

Han Xin burst into tears after hearing this, it was not a pity for him to die, but it was a pity that he implicated his family and ended up with the Yi clan. The king was grateful for his past merits, and did not divide his five horses into corpses, and even left himself with blood and bones. In this life, he has failed the king, and the king has not failed himself!

"Hahaha! If you don't apply new laws, you can't force Korea! Your Majesty, the minister is wrong! The minister is wrong! ”

"The hour has come, execution!" Sima De was unmoved and said coldly.

Almost at the same time, the voice of the prison official Zong Zheng Han Ze also sounded in Dongshi, "Execution!" For a moment, the cry was loud, and at this moment, the East and West City raised four hundred and eighty-two big knives, and in one swing and one fall, four hundred and eighty-two heads rolled to the ground.
