Chapter 41: The Hour

On this day, the cell boss brought a decent meal to the two, and condescendingly told them that it was a severed head meal, and it was good to eat it and go on the road.

Tang Feng glanced at the oily chicken legs, and had no appetite at all.

"Is there any wine?" She sat where she was, and she didn't move.

The cell boss opened the flask and sent it forward. Tang Feng raised his chin and motioned for him to pour a cup out.

"It shouldn't hurt too much after drinking." She said thoughtfully.

The cell boss glanced at her, and even in such a difficult environment, he still couldn't stop her charm. If it weren't for the change of heaven and earth, I am afraid that he would never see the legendary imperial concubine in his life, let alone pour wine and tea for her.

The cell boss silently poured her a good wine, put it aside, and said, "There is still half an hour, and after eating, we will go on the road." ”

Tang Feng got up and walked over, picked up the wine glass and shook it on the tip of his nose, as if he was identifying the variety of this wine. Her long hair was scattered messily over her shoulders, and when she looked down, her long hair poured down like a waterfall. stayed in prison for half a month, and did not wear off half of her extravagance at all, and her every move was extremely elegant.

"You use it slowly." The cell boss went out in a panic, as if he was the one who had committed the crime.

Tang Feng drank the wine, but the meal did not move at all.

When the time came, a team of jailers came up, opened the doors of the two cells, and escorted them to the execution ground.

Today's execution ground can be described as very lively, and countless people flock to it, just to grab the best viewing position. Thousands of empty alleys in the capital are all poured into one place.

The chief criminal officer is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and I saw him sitting directly above in a second-grade official robe, with a square face and well-proportioned eyebrows. Today's beheaders are different, and the status of the chief criminal officer and the prison officer is also extraordinary. In addition to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, there were several people on both sides, such as Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all of whom were invited by King Rui to watch the punishment.

The execution ground is noisy, and today is a light rain, which makes people feel a little irritable.

"The prisoner has arrived!"

With this singing, the prisoner car arrived, and the two female prisoners were escorted down from above.

At this time, the execution ground was quiet for two minutes.

But it didn't take long for everyone to scramble to look at the female prisoner, and when they saw that the two of them were walking calmly and calmly, they couldn't help but feel resentful in their hearts.

"That's her! If she hadn't collected her money and let the tiger return to the mountain, how could Xining have crossed the border and killed tens of thousands of soldiers! ”

"Feng Nu damn it! Prime Minister Xu Cheng is such a noble person, she actually slandered the first emperor, falsely accused Xu Hua of treason and defection to the enemy, and caused the Xu family to die tragically! ”

"There is also the daughter of Guanglu Doctor Song Ren, a noble girl in the city, she actually encouraged the first emperor to marry the daughter of the Song family to a hooligan ruffian, just because Song Ren was unwilling to succumb to her lewdness!"

"There is also Concubine Chen, who was slandered and hanged herself by the guards, that is one corpse and two lives......"

……

All sorts of rhetoric poured in, as if to engulf the two men before they were executed. When it comes to passion, some people with vegetable baskets actually throw eggs and vegetable leaves directly at the execution ground, and the insults are higher and higher.

Today, it is not the forbidden army that will be ordered in the execution ground, but the soldiers and horses of the five cities, even if thousands of people are dispatched to maintain it, there are still people who keep rushing to the front, as if they want to climb up to the high platform and kill Tang Feng personally.

In the midst of the crowd's anger, a white figure walked onto the execution table wearing handcuffs and anklets. Jing Hai plain shoes, it is difficult to hide the national color.

"Ah, it's so lively." She raised her head, a smile on the corner of her mouth, revealing a shallow smile, and her tone was so soft and frivolous.

This voice completely angered the people. They couldn't believe that someone had not repented before the execution, and in public provocation and anger, someone had rushed through the encirclement of the soldiers and ran towards the execution platform.

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

The sound of this wave is high and high, and the people are very excited, and people are constantly rushing forward, like a tide, endlessly.

The scene fell into chaos, and Tang Feng and the others were blocked behind by the soldiers. Little did they know that the two prisoners were to be executed today, but instead they would be protected from death at the hands of the people before they were executed.

"Quick, stop these people!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department was stunned, slapped the table to maintain order, and shouted, "This official is ordered to be beheaded, and you don't retreat quickly!" ”

It's useless, the emotions of the people have been mobilized, Tang Feng is in front of her, as long as she reaches out, she can be pulled down. More and more people joined the war for the prisoners, and the soldiers guarding were scattered by the thousands of civilians, and they were ineffective.

The soldiers who protected Tang Feng and the others were so squeezed that they had to shout, "Protect the prisoners!" Protect the prisoners! "Their task is to send the prisoners to the executioner's knife, and their task is not complete without the head hitting the ground.

"Don't squeeze!"

"The prisoner is originally a death sentence, what's the use of you squeezing in like this! It's just that the time for decapitation was delayed in vain! ”

"Get out of here! Fast! ”

The soldiers were so anxious that they were almost dragged off the platform by the people. The soldier in charge of guarding Tang Feng and the others turned his head to drag people, stretched out his hand, scooped up the emptiness, and looked back again.

What about people? What about the prisoners?

"Don't squeeze, the prisoner has run away!" The soldiers shouted in terror.

The scene was completely out of control, and even though the soldiers shouted at each other, no one noticed what he said. The people who ran to the front shouted to kill Tang Feng, and the people who squeezed up from the back also killed Tang Feng, and people kept squeezing forward, and people were constantly being squeezed out.

In this crowded, Tang Feng and Haitang had already been taken away by the people arranged by Zhou Suizhi, and at this time, taking advantage of the empty road, they had already escaped from the city.

Ten miles outside the city, Xu Er was already waiting in the pavilion.

"Hold, this is a token that can command the soldiers of Southern Xinjiang." Seeing them coming down, Xu Er hurriedly greeted them, straight to the point, "This person next to me is Ah Hao, I have been in contact with her outside through her in Su Ri, you take her to leave together." ”

Tang Feng knew that this time it was not whether she wanted to leave or not, but that she had to go. She stepped forward and hugged Xu Er's shoulders and said, "Second sister, take care!" ”

"You go back to southern Xinjiang first, and Suizhi and I will respond to you here." Xu Er's eyes were hot, and he reached out to hug her back, "Little princess, remember, this time you must not live up to our expectations, you must ......"

The situation in the world has been in turmoil, and if southern Xinjiang wants to restore the country, this is the best time to strengthen its strength.

Xu Er pushed her away, wiped her tears and said, "Then I will find a way to rescue the little emperor, and issue an edict to the people of the world in the name of the little emperor, and I will definitely not let King Rui ascend the throne justifiably." ”

Tang Feng smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, "I really envy the second sister, someone is willing to do whatever it takes to love you." ”

Zhou Suizhi is already Zaifu, one person is above ten thousand people, but he is willing to leave everything in his hand to fulfill her dream of recovering the country, such feelings are really enviable.

"It's the luckiest thing I've ever had in my life to meet him." Xu Er's resolute face rarely showed a gentle look, she held Tang Feng's hand and said, "Forgive me for not being able to accompany you back to Southern Xinjiang, no matter life or death, our husband and wife have agreed to be together." ”

Tang Feng's eyes were filled with tears, she knew that she was happy for Second Sister Xu. In the vast sea of people, she has found her belonging. Tang Feng smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "We will definitely meet again safely, you and Zhou Suizhi must be cherished." ”

"Okay, hurry up and get on the horse, it is estimated that it will not be long before the chaos will be controlled, and the people chasing you will also come." Xu Er took a red date horse, patted the horse's body, raised his eyebrows and asked her with a smile, "Will you still ride?" ”

Tang Fengwan'er, the situation of riding a horse and whipping in her childhood seemed to be still in front of her, she walked over, turned over the horse neatly, grabbed the reins with one hand, and said, "Southern Xinjiang women, how can there be people who can't ride horses?" ”

Behind her, Haitang and Ah Hao also got on the horse, and the three of them officially waved goodbye to Xu Er.

"Drive!"

The three horses drove away from the capital, and the wind blew their clothes, as if to help them ride the wind.

"Escaped?"

When King Rui heard that Tang Feng and her maid had escaped from the execution ground, his first reaction was disbelief. How could the execution ground, which was guarded by nearly 1,000 people, escape?

But the facts are in front of us, when the chaotic situation is brought under control, the two female prisoners who should have been beheaded on the street are gone, and there is no trace of them in the nearby streets and alleys.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department personally confessed, saying, "At that time, the scene was extremely chaotic, and the people flocked to the execution table. The soldiers were too busy maintaining order on the scene and trying to prevent the civilians from hurting the prisoners. The soldiers who were in charge of guarding the prisoners did find that they were missing, but because the scene was too chaotic and crowded, they did not chase them out at the first time, so that the opportunity was delayed. ”

King Rui raised his head and closed his eyes, put his fist against his forehead, and the whole person fell into a gloomy atmosphere, he said mockingly, "The execution ground guarded by thousands of people can't stand the two prisoners, and finally puts the blame on the people, Cai Shangshu, this king has really chosen the right person to let you be this prison officer." ”

Cai Shangshu knelt down and pleaded guilty, ashamed and said, "The minister has failed the prince's entrustment, and he knows that he will not escape the crime of dereliction of duty, so please ask the prince to surrender." ”

King Rui had not yet ascended the throne at this time, and the disposal of courtiers was not justified. He weighed it in his heart, and finally felt that he had pressed it down, and said, "This matter is not your fault alone, and this king also has improper arrangements." It was he who underestimated Tang Feng's ability, thinking that she was already a tiger in Pingyang, but he didn't expect her to come at such a critical time, which is really admirable.

"She must have left Beijing." King Rui said sharply, "Send the order to go down, search for the traces of the fugitives along the way, and once the identity is confirmed, you don't need to ask for instructions, and kill them on the spot." ”
