Chapter 166: If I Were Not Me, Would You Still Love Me?
Who would have thought that His Royal Highness King Ling, who had always looked indifferent, would be angry at this moment.
Especially after hearing the words 'this king is the king's law', everyone remembered in a trance.
This person in front of him is not only a noble prince, but also the messenger of this disaster relief, just the right to cut first and then play in his hands can make people pinch a cold sweat.
And these Diao people also regained their taste in Zhao Ling's explosive drinking, and they finally realized that they had touched the tiger's ass this time with a cold and murderous look in the eyes of King Shangling.
thought that he could get through the test in a fool's way, and even naively thought that King Ling in front of him was something that could be fooled; didn't expect that people were playing tricks on them from beginning to end, and they didn't really put their words into their hearts at all.
Zhao Ling's face was ugly, and he continued, "If you dare to talk to this king about the king's law, then the king will talk to you about the king's law; You people, first robbed the property of good shops and good families, and then harmed people's lives without repentance; At this point, I dare to put the royal law in front of this king, the royal law of the Great Wei is set up for Kuang Fu Sheji and protect the people of Li, from the beginning to the end, there is no royal law that can protect you people with evil intentions. ”
"However, on the contrary, there are several royal laws that are specially designed for you."
As he spoke, Zhao Ling asked Han Fang, "According to the mistakes made by these Diao people, what crime should be punished according to law?" ”
"Returning to Your Highness, it is a great crime for such people to do many evils, hurt heaven and reason, and still deny it in the face of the accusations of the bitter lord, and do not repent of death; According to the laws of the Great Wei, it was punishable by hanging. ”
Hanging?!
Wouldn't that be a million times more painful than a direct beheading?
The Diao people kneeling on the torture platform finally panicked, and when they looked at Zhao Ling again, the cunning in their eyes was replaced by fear and fear, and they only then repented of how ridiculous their words were just now.
For a person like King Ling, who was born with supreme power, let alone killing someone like them who dared to commit a crime, even if he killed one or two inconsequential people, no one would dare to stand up and say nothing.
How ridiculous and ignorant they were just now, they dared to speak nonsense about such a person.
Now, hearing that they will be sentenced to be hanged, they can only quickly confess their guilt and plead bitterly.
Zhao Ling glanced at Diao Min, who was kneeling on the ground and kept pleading for mercy, and said, "This king knows what you are thinking, the place is suffering from disasters, the people are in distress, and the government has no time to take care of it, so naturally he gave you Diao people the opportunity to do evil and make a lot of disasters and wealth, and he is talking about people like you." ”
"It's a pity that this king is not those who were in the past years of disaster relief, in the face of you people and evil people will be generous, you can go out to inquire and see, this king went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, how many ghosts died under the sword of this king, this king is most afraid of killing; Now that you have committed a crime in the hands of this king, do you really want to get away with it? ”
"Your Highness spares your life! The prince spares his life! We will never dare again, never again! ”
"Don't dare?"
Zhao Ling smiled coldly, "This king doesn't think so, this king is not Lord Han, he has a lot of time and patience to educate everyone and give you a chance to reform your ways. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ling raised his hand, and the guards around him saw the gesture and stepped forward and shouted, "Go to the gallows!" ”
Hearing the order, the soldiers immediately stepped forward in unison, and set up the criminals in groups of two, and sent them to the gallows one after another.
And these Diao people saw that they could not escape death, and suddenly ghosts cried wolf.
But at this time, no matter how clever they are to discern and how much they keep pleading, they will not be able to get a trace of mercy from others.
As the ropes on the torture rack tightened more and more, only a few 'clicks' were heard, and the Diao people who could still cry loudly before lost their breath, and the shocking thing was that the deaths of these people were quite tragic and terrifying.
One by one, they were erected on the torture instruments, but their necks were twisted in a strange arc, and if they looked closely, the neck was strangled from behind by a rope, and most of the spine was broken.
This kind of death is even more terrifying than a human head falling to the ground.
And the people under the torture platform had never seen this kind of posture, and they all turned white, and even the few bitter masters who hated to slaughter these thieves with their own hands couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cool air.
When he raised his head again and looked at King Ling, who was sitting on the cross-backed wide chair, everyone's hearts were afraid.
Looking at the look of fear in the eyes of the people, Zhao Ling stood up with the long table, and his voice was loud and heard in everyone's ears.
"From this day onwards, if anyone dares to take advantage of the great calamity to bring calamity to the people and disturb the order in the city, these people will be your example!"
The words were sonorous, almost like a hammer slamming into everyone's hearts.
Looking in the direction pointed by King Ling, his eyes were full of the miserable death of Diao Min, in the face of such a shocking reality, who would dare to make a voice at this time, and who would dare to regenerate the idea of robbing the people and taking the opportunity to make disaster and wealth?!
Although King Ling's methods were quite cruel, they were resolute and effective.
Seeing this scene, although Han Fang's face was pale and his heart was pounding, his eyes were full of awe and admiration when he looked at King Ling.
Now, he finally knew why the prince in front of him, who was not very favored, was able to get to such a position step by step, and this method alone was very comparable.
It is not difficult to imagine that after today's incident, I am afraid that no one in Yuezhou City will dare to do that act of a traitor, and the prestige of King Ling can be regarded as established in Yuezhou.
……
Zhao Ling returned to the post house from the entrance of the vegetable market, and what he saw was Chu Xingyue sitting by the window with a snow-white face, her eyes were dazed, as if she was thinking about something.
I knew that she was dishonest, and she could still obediently lie on the bed and fall asleep before leaving, but I didn't expect that he had only been walking for an hour or so, and she got up again and sat by the window to blow the wind?
Zhao Ling subconsciously wrung his eyebrows, walked up quickly and blocked the wind outlet of the window, and looked at the woman in front of him with heavy eyes.
Chu Xingyue didn't even notice after Zhao Ling appeared, and her emotions were still immersed in the meeting with Yuan Feng.
She never thought that she would meet someone from the Tianding clan here at this time, and her brain was about to explode when she thought of what Yuan Feng said to her.
And before leaving, Yuan Feng also invited her to return to the clan with him.
"Young master, for a hundred years, the one hundred and three people who survived in the clan are looking forward to your return day and night, and after the catastrophe of extermination a hundred years ago, the Tianding clan has turned their backs on their hometowns, been displaced, and lived a hard life that ordinary people can't imagine, everyone is waiting for you to go back to preside over the overall situation, waiting for you to go back, and avenge the tragic death of the clansmen."
Yuan Feng's words still resounded clearly and loudly in Chu Xingyue's ears, and his earnest expression made her unable to ignore it easily.
Yuan Feng hoped that she could return to the Tianding clan, did that prove that he wanted her to leave Zhao Ling?
Although she had made up her mind to leave Zhao Ling from the morning, when this day really came, she knew that there would be so much reluctance in her heart.
"Yue'er? …… Yue'er! …… Chu Bingyue! ”
Looking at Chu Xingyue, who was shouted back to her senses by raising her voice with her name and surname, Zhao Ling held her shoulder, with concern in her eyes, "What's wrong with you?" I haven't heard you shouting for so long, what are you thinking? ”
Chu Xingyue opened her eyes that were still a little confused, and when she saw clearly that the person in front of her was Zhao Ling, her heart suddenly softened, and she threw herself into his arms, hugging his thin waist tightly, "Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling......"
At this moment, she found that she could do nothing but call his name over and over again.
Zhao Ling let her hold herself, patted her back with her big hand, and soothed her obviously unstable emotions, "What's wrong?" But what bad happened? Something doesn't seem right with your face. ”
Thousands of words were blocked in Chu Xingyue's heart, with grievances in her eyes.
If she heard it correctly just now, Zhao Ling's name when he called her was 'Chu Bingyue'.
Yes, she is Chu Bingyue, the daughter of Jingbei Hou, in front of him, not Chu Xingyue, who has passed through the soul of the twenty-first century.
In his eyes, she is just the most ordinary ordinary woman, if he knows that he is a ghost from the future, will he still love her like now? But will you cherish and spoil her like this?
Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue's heart couldn't help but give birth to a touch of sadness, and unconsciously grabbed the clothes on his waist, and his voice was soft and aggrieved, "Zhao Ling, I'm so scared, really scared!" ”
Listening to her fragile and delicate voice, the corners of Zhao Ling's mouth showed a doting smile, "What's wrong?" Got a nightmare? ”
Yes, the words that Yuan Feng said to her were not very similar to nightmares.
"Well, Zhao Ling, if one day you find out that I am not me, will you still like me?"
Looking at Chu Xingyue's uneasy eyes, Zhao Ling was stunned, "I really had a nightmare, I even talked nonsense, how could you not be you?" ”
Chu Xingyue took out her nonsense and pestering people, grabbed his arm tightly and shook it gently, "I don't care, I want you to answer, if one day, I am not Chu Bingyue, do you not like me anymore?" Don't you want me anymore? Has it become the same as before, saying that it is going to strangle me again, and no longer cares about my life or death? ”
Zhao Ling looked at the anxious Chu Xingyue, and finally sensed that something was wrong in her uneasiness, "Yue'er, tell this king, is there really something going on?" ”
"Why don't you answer?"
Chu Xingyue rarely lost her temper at Zhao Ling like an anxious child, "Is it true that when this day comes, you will abandon me and never care about me anymore." ”
