XXXIX. Beheading
"Ah Niang, Yue'er said that it was the one who came to Junchen to instigate the assassination, but now he finally can't hold it back and frames Yue'er again! Auntie! You don't care! Shen Mengxi didn't mention Li Xian and Li Dan, only himself.
"Oh? What did Yue'er say? ”
"Ah Niang, Yue'er's subordinates are not vegetarians, Yue'er learned this morning that the thief was making up evidence of Yue'er's rebellion. Ah Niang, Yue'er has found out that the thief is at home, making a register for the officials of the DPRK and China, and when he is whimsical, he will draw lots and roll the dice, and whoever is drawn will frame him, and use all kinds of methods to verify the means in his "Luo Weaving Sutra". Rampant to this point, it is already a wrath of heaven and resentment! ”
Over the years, Lai Junchen has made great contributions to Emperor Wu, although he knows that Lai Junchen has been too forgetful in recent years, but this person is extremely useful, she is reluctant to move him for a while, and she looked at her daughter and didn't speak for a while.
"He must have drawn lots this time to Yue'er." Shen Mengxi's voice was low, and he suddenly choked up and said, "The Great Zhou World founded by A-Niang is about to be destroyed by this thief!" The thief was framed everywhere, but he was under the banner of Ah Niang, although he helped Ah Niang do some practical things, but it was he who really ruined Ah Niang's reputation! ”
Emperor Wu fell into deep thought, and she considered the merits and demerits of Junchen.
In recent years, her physical strength has not been as good as before, although the Zhang brothers make her feel much younger, but after all, she is nearly eighty years old, and after being forcibly stimulated, she is more tired and helpless. The frowning brow in contemplation made her look old.
"Auntie, give Yue'er something to eat. Alas, it is too difficult to see A-Niang once now, if it weren't for the good body given by A-Niang, Yue'er would definitely faint in front of the palace with hunger. Shen Mengxi grabbed a piece of dim sum on the table in front of Emperor Wu and ate it.
Seeing that Emperor Wu was still hesitating, Shen Mengxi was not in love with war, got up to say goodbye, and said before leaving: "A-Niang, arrest that Junchen and put him in prison, try back and forth with his method, and see if he tells the truth!" After speaking, he took out a white porcelain jar smaller than a fist from his sleeve pocket, "This cream is for A-Niang, it is excellent." And Ah Niang, I don't care, anyway, Ah Niang has to give me this breath! ”
Emperor Wu was so angry that he slapped her, "How old are you, and you're still coquettish!" ”
"A-Niang said, a hundred years old is also A-Niang's child."
On the third day after entering the palace, Shen Mengxi asked Yin'er to take twenty jars of five-grain wine to Di Mansion to give gifts, this day was Di Renjie's sixty-eighth birthday, and the Di family did not do it, so Shen Mengxi asked Yin'er to send wine in the name of gratitude for the grace of the teaching.
On the fourth day, Di Gong, who had been in poor health and rarely entered the court, entered the palace to face the saint.
On the fifth day, Lai Junchen was imprisoned.
Shen Mengxi sighed that she couldn't compare to an outsider when she sang and played.
On the sixth day, the demands for the execution of Lai Junchen were overwhelming, and all kinds of criminal evidence of framing good ministers, perverting the law for bribes, and accepting bribes also came one after another.
Emperor Wu was very surprised, and she had some palpitations.
Since the day she took Li Xian, she has gradually given up suppressing the Li family, and no matter how unwilling she is, she also knows that she is getting old day by day, and sooner or later she will hand over the world to her son. At this time, we should even support the Li clan to avoid the phenomenon of the Wu clan being constrained and countering the imperial power in the future.
Lai Junchen was arrested and sent to prison with a confused face, until he got on the torture instrument he designed, he still didn't analyze who framed him, he didn't have time to analyze, after a round of torture, he confessed happily, asked what to say, and perfectly verified the effectiveness of the "Luo Weaving Sutra".
He explained how he framed Zhongliang, how he blackmailed, how he forcibly took his wife, and even explained how he accepted a large sum of money from Wu Chenghei to frame Yan Pu. He already had a premonition that the end was coming, and he secretly cursed the rabbit and the dog in his heart.
He asked to meet with the Holy One, but his former subordinate Wen Jun refused. This Wenjun has won his true biography, but he didn't expect that one day it would be such a result, how similar it was to him when he invited Zhou Xing into the urn!
Lai Junchen was in pain everywhere, he used to see others being tortured and howling, he only felt happy, he liked to admire the helpless appearance of others, and now it was his turn.
He only wanted a quick death.
On the third day of the first month of June, Lai Junchen was beheaded on the street, and Lai's house was raided and exterminated.
Emperor Wu still remembered his merits, and only made a decision. The onlookers shouted: "Ling Chi! Ling Chi! ”
The cold light flashed, and Lai Junchen's head fell to the ground.
The people shouted and rushed up, and the eyes of the future Junchen were cut out, and they were trampled on, and the butcher came with a butcher's knife, and in the future, Junchen broke his abdomen and disemboweled, and everyone pulled off his heart and liver, and chopped his body to pieces.
Yan Jikang, who was dressed in white, followed and squeezed into it, beating the ground and crying, he squeezed to him, Lai Junchen was already a puddle of flesh, he hatefully stepped on Junchen's skull under his feet, and reached out to tear off his face. At this time, Yan Jikang's face was hideous, very terrifying, he knelt on the ground and looked up to the sky and cried, the seven-foot man, let out a loud cry, and those who heard it wept.
On this day, the whole Luoyang City is happy, and it is more lively than the New Year.
*******
Wu Chenghe, who learned of Lai Junchen's confession, fell ill.
He was really sick and scared.
Because of Li Xian's return, he was depressed and abnormal, and he had been diligent for many years, pointing to where to fight, just for the sake of the prince, I didn't want to go back to Luoyang overnight, how could he not let him almost die of depression.
Now that Junchen is dead, he confessed to him. He anxiously waited for Emperor Wu to give an order to arrest him, and after waiting for three days, before the holy decree arrived, he was so frightened that he fell ill.
The servant said that Wu Youji had come to visit the sick, but he said angrily that he couldn't see it. The servant went out for a while, and came back and said, "Jiulang said that the princess has something important for him to pass on. ”
Wu Chengsi had no choice but to get up and change his clothes and lean on the Arhat collapse.
Wu Youji entered the inner room with a happy face and saluted Wu Chenghei, "Is my brother well?" ”
"Okay. What's the princess's business, let's talk quickly! After speaking, get out of here, as soon as he saw Wu Youji, who was nearly forty years old, still handsome, and had a heartless face, he was angry. This brother is willing to make a decoration in the princess's mansion, every day is calligraphy and painting, playing the flute, and he actually has a good time. He looked at the few age spots that came out of the back of his hand and snorted.
"The princess knew that her brother was sick, and she was very concerned, so she ordered her foolish brother to visit the patient......"
"Say! What the hell is going on! "Wu Chengsi's IQ is ordinary, but now it is a big mess, and Wu Youji's greetings make his heart angry.
"Yes, brother. The princess said that now the criminal minister came to Junchen to subdue the law, and the whole world celebrated, and she had also learned from the mouth of the thief that the person who was the master assassin back then was only some details, and Junchen said that he didn't know, and asked the princess to ask his brother...... "Wu Youji said everything according to Shen Mengxi's instructions, and he said everything according to the script, and he saw that Wu Chenghe's face changed greatly, and he sweated profusely, but he insisted on finishing all the words that the princess confessed, "The princess has been disturbed by this assassination case all these years, and now that she has clues, she is very anxious, so she can't care about her brother's serious illness, I am anxious to ask for the result, so that I can repay your majesty, your majesty has promised to give an explanation to the princess. ”
saw the whites of Wu Chenghe's eyes roll and fainted.
