Chapter 47: The Execution Ground

Gu Rong was a little distracted, but when she heard this, her face was flustered for a while, and she stumbled a little when she spoke, "Come on...... Done?"

Qiu Yi motioned for her to look with her eyes and replied, "Wait in the carriage." ”

Gu Rong was worried in her heart, and glanced at the carriage, the wound on her mouth in the past few days was almost healed, and if she didn't look closely, she couldn't see the shallow scar at all.

It's just that...... Gu Rong felt that her face was hot, and what happened a few days ago seemed to be just now.

The autumn mood is unknown, looking at his own young lady's face strangely, he said curiously, "Miss?"

Gu Rong was entangled in place for a while, and slowly moved towards the carriage, completely forgetting that there was still a Ding Xiuyan standing in the distance.

Lifting the car curtain, Xie Yi was closing his eyes to recuperate, hearing the movement, opening his eyes, and the car curtain blocked the light out again.

Gu Rong sat across from him and pretended to be calm, "What's wrong?" ”

Xie Yi stared at her for a while, the suspicious eyes were too oppressive, Gu Rong's heart was weak, but she smiled on her face, "Is there something on my face?" Keep staring at me. ”

The street is relatively quiet, and the sound of horses' hooves can be heard clearly.

Thank you for closing her eyes again and not saying a word.

Gu Rong didn't dare to speak, so she had to pick the window and pretend to look outside.

Ding Xiuyan's face swayed past the car window, and his eyes looked at her deeply.

Before Gu Rong could react, the person behind her had already grabbed her hand, the curtain fell, and she said thankfully, "Don't look around." ”

Gu Rong really didn't make any more moves, she felt strange, she had never been so anxious and uneasy to get along with Xie Yi in the past, what happened to her today?

When they arrived at the lively street, the carriage was slow, Gu Rong froze and didn't dare to move, because since just now, Xie Yi's hand had not been released, and his palms were slightly sweaty, and the person opposite suddenly smiled, pinched her palms, and said, "You sent someone to Yandu?" ”

Gu Rong nodded.

His hand suddenly touched the corner of her lips, Gu Rong was startled, and glared at him, "Do it...... What to do?"

Thankfully, "It shouldn't hurt anymore." ”

Gu Rong, "......"

The messy fragments filled her mind, Gu Rong took a deep breath and said, "Just talk, don't move your hands and feet!"

Inside the carriage, Gu Rong's face was red and her expression was embarrassed.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud in gratitude.

The emperor ordered three sessions to be tried, and the officials who had gritted their teeth before retracted their confessions, and the eldest son of the Fang family was bitten to the death.

At this time, far away on both sides of the strait, the courtyard that was turned upside down was full of traces of fighting, and the woman behind her was masked in red, and a plum blossom between her eyebrows was extremely eye-catching.

She waved her hand, and the group disappeared into the night with their things.

Someone whispered in the dark: Tell the master that something has been taken first!

A loud whistle sounded in the dark night, which was the signal for evacuation.

The night in Luancheng is very deserted.

Late at night, in the garden, Wang Yan had just returned to the study, grinding notes according to the habits of the past.

The Fang family has been making small moves recently, and he has been sending people to keep an eye on it, and he is afraid that there will be omissions, so he wants to sort it out.

Just as he was about to pick up the pen, someone hurriedly came to report, "Master, the palace is urgently called!"

Wang Yan put down his pen and asked, "What can I say?"

The guard shook his head, "Gonggong Liu only said that he was in a hurry and wanted you to enter the palace immediately." ”

Wang Yan hurried into the palace again, and when he went out, he met Gu Rong coming to look for him, Gu Rong saw him in a hurry, and couldn't help asking, "Big brother, but what's wrong?" ”

Wang Yan said, "I don't know, the palace is urgent, I'll go for a trip." ”

Gu Rong held the supper prepared for him, looked at his back, thoughtful.

After meeting Liu Yong that day, Liu Yong handed over another letter in the form of a secret letter of fire paint.

At this moment, the air pressure in the imperial study was extremely low.

The young emperor was sitting alone above, and outside the house remembered the sound of footsteps, and soon Wang Yan came to the door.

Seeing Wang Yan enter, the emperor ordered, "Close the door!"

Wang Yan turned back and closed the door, and even Gonggong Li was not in the imperial study, and he felt that the sky seemed to be changing.

Celebrate the winter of the second year.

Empress Fang Yingtong was placed under house arrest in the Changxiang Palace, claiming to be ill.

At the beginning of December, 11 ledgers were presented to the court, each of which recorded in detail the comings and goings of various layers of taxes and silver over the years, and after the operation of the layers at various levels, the total amount of taxes and silver that should be paid each year should be 40 million taels, but in fact the payment was less than 10 million taels.

The emperor was furious, and the government and the opposition were also boiling.

Within half a month, the officials of the 11 prefectures retried and detained, and according to the confessions, arrested the four officials involved in the DPRK, and the emperor ordered that the 11 prefectures on both sides of the strait and the four officials involved in the crime be sentenced to beheading, and Wang Yan co-organized.

On the day of the beheading, it snowed in Luancheng, Gu Rong tied her cloak, wrapped herself, revealed only one face, and went out alone, following the crowd of onlookers, looking at it from a distance.

Gu Rong counted them patiently, a total of fifteen, wearing prison uniforms, and were escorted on the field.

Countless rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs smashed onto the torture table.

On the beheading platform, Xie Yi was dressed in a dark red official uniform, and was confirming the list of beheadings this time.

Soon it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and for the scum of the court, he was not merciless, and the prison order was thrown, and Wang Yan shouted, "Execution!" ”

The fifteen executioners' broadswords were raised, and the moment the knives fell, blood flew and the heads fell to the ground and rolled twice.

The people watched from afar, for fear of splashing themselves, and some children turned pale with fright, and fainted.

The blood was sprinkled on the snow, red and bright, and it was still steaming.

"It's really karma, and the wicked have their own God to punish ......"

"These corrupt officials and corrupt officials should be killed, don't keep them to harm the people, and kill them to relieve their anger!"

"How many people have been harmed, what ......do you do if you don't kill them all?"

The man accidentally stumbled and bumped into the person in front of him, and couldn't help but apologize again and again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the ...... under my feet"

"Little brother, watch your step."

In a very soft voice, he couldn't help but look up, and there was a woman standing in front of him, with a delicate appearance, wrapped in a snow-white cloak, with a faint smile on her face.

This is the daughter of whose family!

The man couldn't help but take a few steps to the side and let her go first.

Gu Rong nodded at him and left the execution ground alone.

The emperor's power is now expanding little by little, the queen is confined in the palace, Fang Li is dead now, the Fang family will not last long, everything will be in broad daylight, what they did back then, she wants to get it back with interest!

As she was walking, she heard the sound of horses' hooves hurrying, and she stopped to avoid it, but the horse stopped beside her, and the man on the horse turned over and dismounted.

"Why didn't you come to me when you came to the execution ground today?" Xie Yi shook the snowflakes off his body.

He was wearing a dark red official uniform today, and he was handsome, standing on this street, it was very eye-catching, and the eyes of several people had already fallen on the two of them.

He was also aware of it, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Gu Rong said, "You are in the office, I don't want to disturb, I just want to come and see." ”

As she was talking, Xie Yi had already turned over and got on the horse, she was very close, and before she could react, Xie Yi had already taken her hand, "Come up!"

Gu Rong was pulled vigorously by him and sat sideways in front of him.

With a thanksgiving, the horse ran away.

The cold wind was blowing, Gu Rong couldn't help but turn sideways to avoid the wind and snow, "What are you going to do?"

"Take a ride!"
