Chapter 140: Then You Shall Die
Zhang Luo rode on a tall horse and saw a team of plain dragons approaching.
They were escorted in the middle, dressed in linen and filial piety, miserable, stumbling, and supporting each other all the way forward.
The pedestrians around exchanged their heads and pointed at each other, some shook their heads and sighed, some covered their mouths in surprise, some secretly turned around and shed tears, and some even gave Zhuangxing wine.
Because he didn't expect that someone would stop the executioners and give them Zhuangxing wine, Zhang Luo felt that he was walking a little faster.
It was an old man who seemed to want to say something to the Hai family. Seeing this, Zhang Luo stopped his horse, turned around and said to the welcoming team
"The bride still has a long way to go out of the city, and she likes to eat Li Ji's pastries next to her the most, so go buy some and take them with her."
He turned his head and saw a steamed bun seller again, so he told the people around him again
"You can't just remember to buy food for the bride, you go to that steamed bun shop to buy some steamed buns to take with you, eat on the way, remember to buy more."
As a result, the team stopped because of Zhang Luo's stopping, and the sound of banging and beating formed an extreme contrast with the crowd on the opposite side.
The old man who was strong listened to the lively sound of gongs, drums and suona, and his heart was even more sad. He fell straight to his knees in the dust and cried out
"The sky is unfair, the saint is unkind, and General Hai has ended up like this for three generations of the country, which is sad and lamentable!"
The Hai family silently shed tears when they heard the man's crying. Hai Longxiao raised his shackled hand, picked up the crying old man and said
"Don't shout anymore, old man, be careful of getting into trouble."
The man looked at Hai Longxiao, holding his hand with both hands, and his eyes were wet with tears.
"Major General, the Hai family is wronged!"
Hai Longxiao said with a wry smile
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and Long Xiao believes that sooner or later the truth will be made public. More than 20 unjust souls of the Hai family will also be laid to rest. ”
Hai Longxiao persuaded the old man to leave, but the old man insisted on sending him wine and Zhuangxing, Hai Longxiao drank the old man's Zhuangxing wine heroically and said to everyone on the street
"Folks, the Hai family is in trouble and has no power to avenge their grievances, but the Hai family has been loyal to the sky for generations, and more than 100 people in the Hai family are begging for mercy from the sky.
Hai Longxiao said impassionedly, but also with great grief and indignation, he was loyal to the monarch and patriotic but ended up ruined, which is really sad and lamentable.
Seeing that the send-off was over, Zhang Luo immediately hit his horse forward and walked directly towards the white dragon.
The trumpet of welcoming relatives sounded loudly, and the gong of the execution was also soundly beaten, so the two sides confronted each other in the street, and no one wanted to give in.
The executioners were at a stalemate with the procession, so they had no choice but to go to the prison officer for questioning.
Shangguan Yi, the supervisor of the beheader, asked when he heard the report
"Ask which family is married, don't look at the time, don't look at the notice, don't they know that this street is going to be executed?"
The guard went to ask and then told Shangguan Yi
"Xiangye, it's Miss Xue Fuchang's marriage, and her husband's family has to go around the city for a week, and this is the only way to go."
Shangguan Yi frowned and asked with displeasure
"Is it the daughter of the Xue family who was given a dowry by the Holy Lord?"
The man nodded helplessly, feeling that this was a character he couldn't afford to mess with.
"Yes. The person who came to talk is very arrogant, should we avoid it? ”
Shangguan Yi pretended to think about the pros and cons, and said with displeasure
"Stay out of the way, walk as close to the street as possible, and don't let people bump into newcomers."
"Yes!"
The guards here deliberately avoided the welcoming procession, and before they knew it, they had crossed the crossroads, and because the road had become extremely narrow, it was naturally difficult for people to concentrate.
At this moment, a group of banging and beating people appeared from the intersection, and it seemed that they were also going to turn towards Zhang Luo's welcoming team.
The two teams of men and horses who got married were unwittingly caught in the team escorting the prisoners.
The streets were in chaos, and the most lively thing was that the procession of King Rui's relatives was still scattering copper coins.
Ordinary people flocked to grab copper coins, so it was not lively.
Zhang Luo saw that the copper coins were scattered lively, so he also ordered his entourage to scatter the copper coins.
In the blink of an eye, a good street was stirred up by two teams to welcome relatives, and it was impossible to see which family was getting married, and the flow of people was increasing, and the guards couldn't tell where the Hai family was?
At this moment, a man dressed in black flew out of the chaotic crowd, swept across the crowd, and went straight to the people of the Hai family.
The guards watched as the people in white filial piety robes were drawn closer to the crowd, and then, without knowing why, the crowd followed the procession.
They saw that everyone disappeared from sight, and they were anxious but there was nothing they could do.
I don't know who it was, but when I touched them suddenly, they found that they could finally move.
It's just that when they rushed towards the marriage team, they found that the two teams had separated, one went to the city gate, and the other ran to the most lively and prosperous street.
There was no way, so everyone had to chase them in two ways, but a death row prisoner wearing white clothes and shackles was not found.
Everyone had no choice but to find Shangguan Yi and report the situation. Shangguan Yi was furious after hearing this.
He reprimanded the guards and went to the palace to plead guilty.
The dust has settled, and Shangguan Yi's heart has finally let go of the big stone that has been going on for many days, but he doesn't know if the charge of framing Zhongliang can be washed away.
"Holy Lord, the ministers deserve death, but they let the Hai family take advantage of the chaos."
Shangguan Yi knelt down in front of the main hall, and his head fell to the ground.
That bang made Shengshang raise his eyebrows, and even he felt sorry for Shangguan.
"Say it again!"
Shangguan Yi knelt on the ground, but his heart was extremely calm, he didn't dare to raise his head, still put his head on the ground.
"The minister is incompetent, so the Hai family took advantage of the chaos to run."
The saint turned his head and looked at Shangguan Yi on the ground with unprecedented anger on his face.
"Shangguan Yi, in vain Fei Zhen trusted you so much, you actually let the felons escape."
"Holy Lord, today I met the daughter of Mrs. Xue on the road...... and His Royal Highness King Rui greeted him. ”
When it comes to King Rui's wedding, this saint is also going, everyone here is about to arrive at King Rui's mansion, why hasn't the saint moved yet!
At this moment, Father-in-law Xi came in from outside the hall with a smile, and his smile was almost gone.
"The sedan chair of the Holy King and the princess has arrived."
"Ugh!"
Shangguan who was kneeling on the ground was stunned, what was going on!
"I gave you such a task, and you messed it up, and you will be punished for one year."
Shangguan Yi heard that the saint pinched his lifeline again, and he was really helpless. He is not afraid of beating, not afraid of scolding, just afraid of not giving him money.
His prime minister's mansion is poor, and it is not easy to save some silver, and he has to work in vain this year.
"Holy Lord, can you punish something else? Fifty boards are fine. ”
The saint glared at Shangguan Yi, and almost pointed his finger at his nose and said.
"As far as you are concerned, Xue Qing has given you a lot of money, and I often have rewards, where do you need to care about that little bit of money."
Shangguan Yi said sadly
"Holy Lord, losing a prisoner is a capital offense."
The saint is improving the dragon robe under the service of Gonggong Xi, and he wants to participate in King Rui's wedding ceremony, so he naturally needs to be dressed neatly.
"Then you will die!"
The saint got dressed and walked out, and Gonggong Xi covered his mouth and followed him. Shangguan Yi knew that the saint was joking, so he had to stand up and follow him to the main hall.
