Cheng Fangxin and Cheng Qizhi are about to face life and death, no matter how evil Cheng Qizhi is, but his fatherly love for Cheng Fangxin is the purest.

Wan Lin saw such a scene for the first time, and while hating Cheng Qizhi and Wu Xuehai, he also had a little sympathy for them.

Bai Yusheng thought that when he was a child, Cheng Qizhi also taught him and Cheng Fangxin to read poetry and took them to play, and all the previous memories came to his heart.

Bai Yusheng stepped forward and poured Cheng Qizhi a glass of wine.

"Uncle, drink this bar, this is your favorite drink in the past, and Fang Xin specially bought it for you."

Bai Yusheng handed over the wine glass, Cheng Qizhi took the wine glass with teary eyes and sighed.

"Alas—I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place! Yusheng, my uncle's mistake is wrong, my uncle's uncle regrets it! ”

After Cheng Qizhi finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

Cheng Fangxin cried uncontrollably, and after Cheng Qizhi put down the wine glass, he devoured all the food she brought.

"Good girl! In the next life, our father and daughter will see you again, and my father must be a good official in the next life, so that he can treat you two well! ”

After Cheng Qizhi finished speaking, he said to Bai Yusheng: "Yusheng, take Fangxin away, I don't want him to look at my most embarrassed appearance!" ”

Bai Yusheng nodded and pulled Cheng Fangxin up, Cheng Fangxin wanted to leave but was reluctant to go.

She couldn't bear to see her father's head cut off, even if she was reluctant, she still followed Bai Yusheng.

Yuan Ge Lao was also helped up and taken out of the execution ground, and it arrived at noon, Xing Zhida glanced at the sky and said to Wan Lin: "It's almost time, it's time to execute." ”

Wan Lin nodded, Yuan Cheng sighed secretly, and Xing Zhida threw out the order with a cold face.

"It's noon, execution!"

Xing Zhida gave an order, and the two executioners raised their incomparably sharp cleaved knives at the same time.

Wu Xuehai closed his eyes with a look of regret, while Cheng Qizhi was trembling slightly, and after he finally glanced in the direction where Cheng Fangxin left, he also closed his eyes with a deep helplessness.

"Daddy!"

Cheng Fangxin walked and suddenly turned around and shouted.

Cheng Qizhi's heart tightened, but before he could open his eyes, he felt a cool breeze sweep to his neck.

Bai Yusheng hurriedly grabbed Cheng Fangxin and clasped her head in his arms.

Bai Yusheng still saw the scene of Cheng Qizhi's head falling to the ground, and his eyes turned red uncontrollably.

Yuan Ge Lao also saw Wu Xuehai's head fall to the ground, his eyes went dark, and he suddenly lost consciousness.

Wan Lin personally saw Wu Xuehai and Cheng Qizhi being executed, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

The victims who had been persecuted by these two corrupt officials saw their enemies die by the knife with their own eyes, and they all applauded continuously, which was in stark contrast to the grief-stricken Cheng Fangxin and the elder of the Yuan Pavilion.

The crowd also resounded with cheers and applause, and many people shouted: "Good kill!" Well done! ”

Bai Yusheng saw that the old man of the Yuan Pavilion was dizzy, and he wanted to go forward to check, but he saw the scene of Cheng Fangxin's body being separated, so he didn't move for the time being.

Yuan Ge Lao was carried aside, and after being pinched by someone, he slowly woke up.

And Bai Yusheng found out that Cheng Fangxin was also fainted in his arms.

Bai Yusheng had no choice but to hug Cheng Fangxin aside, but she didn't rush to wake her up, but went to collect Cheng Qizhi's body.

The "corpse sewers" who were waiting on the side to sew the heads of the beheaded people had prepared tools, waiting for the families of the prisoners to ask them to sew the corpses.

Bai Yusheng said to him with a gloomy expression: "Sew up the heads of both of them." ”

The corpse sewer began to work neatly without saying a word, and by the time Cheng Fangxin woke up, Cheng Qizhi had already changed his clothes and was about to be carried into the coffin.

"Daddy! Father! ”

Cheng Fangxin cried and pounced, but Bai Yusheng didn't stop her.

Bai Yusheng said in a calm tone: "Let's take a last look at him." Those who have been executed must be buried immediately, and they must not be delayed for too long. ”

This is the emperor's favor to Cheng Qizhi and Wu Xuehai for their past exploits, otherwise their corpses are not only not qualified to be buried, but also not qualified to be stitched up completely, and they will be thrown into the mass grave together with the corpses.

If the family wants to pay tribute to them, they can only erect a mound of clothes.

Cheng Qizhi's neck was covered by the collar, but it didn't bring much visual impact to Cheng Fangxin.

Cheng Fangxin held on to his corpse and cried for a while, and then went to bury him with Bai Yusheng.

Xing Zhida saw Wan Lin's solemn face and asked with concern: "Lord Wan, this is the first time you have experienced this kind of thing, right?" How do you feel? Aren't you scared? If you feel frightened, I'll have someone come and surprise you. ”

Wan Lin waved his hand, "Thank you Lord Xing for your concern, Xia Guan is fine." Xia Guan just felt a shock that could not be described in words. ”

Xing Zhida patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Actually, it's a good thing to be a supervisor a few more times, this is the best wake-up call for us." Whenever the old man had some inappropriate thoughts, he would think back to the officials he had beheaded. Thinking of their final fate, the old man knew what he should do. ”

Wan Lin finally had the opportunity to say what was in his heart: "Lord Xing's courage and rationality in this pole case make the lower officials very admired!" The lower officials should take you as an example, not afraid of power, not talking about personal feelings, and worthy of Your Majesty and the people. ”

Xing Zhida didn't expect Wan Lin to think so highly of himself, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Lord Wan has an overreputation, the old man just did what he should do, but I can't stand your praise."

Wan Lin also said a little embarrassedly: "I won't tell you, Xia Guan has not praised anyone so cheekily." But when I work with you to handle the case, my subordinates will see your every move, and the subordinates will learn a lot from you and benefit a lot. ”

Xing Zhida knew that Wan Lin was not a sloppy person, and if he could say this, he must really admire himself.

Xing Zhida said politely: "Master Wan, in fact, the old man has also learned a lot from you. Officials of your age are generally full of energy, but they can't hold their breath. There are also people who have not waited for their ambitions to compromise with the powerful and forget their original intentions. If they are all like you, brave and resourceful, and stick to their original intentions, the court will definitely be more gratifying than now. ”

The two of them praised each other and were humble to each other, and they went to the emperor with Yuan Cheng.

The emperor listened to Xing Zhida tell the story of the scene, and when the emperor heard the scene of the old pavilion saying goodbye to Wu Xuehai and Cheng Fangxin saying goodbye to Cheng Qizhi, the emperor couldn't help but feel very emotional.

They also know how heartbreaking it is to be separated from their loved ones and friends. When Wu Xuehai and Cheng Qizhi harmed many families for their own selfish interests, did the two of them ever think about the feelings of those victims? ”

As the emperor spoke, he looked at Xing Zhida and the others meaningfully.

Xing Zhida immediately said: "So this is called evil retribution." This time, they finally got a taste of it. ”

Yuan Cheng also said: "Although the minister couldn't bear to see his father's reluctance to let Wu Xuehai go, the minister knew that this was also what his father should bear." He is Wu Xuehai's teacher, and when a student makes such a big mistake, he, a teacher, cannot escape responsibility. Therefore, my father asked his ministers to give a word to His Majesty on his behalf. ”

"What does he want to say?" The emperor was curious.

Yuan Cheng suddenly knelt down and said to the emperor with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, my father said that he asked to resign and return to his hometown for self-examination, as a punishment. ”

"This ......" the emperor was stunned.

Yuan Cheng continued: "My father hopes that His Majesty will agree! He said that he really had no face to face His Majesty and the people, and that he could only be worthy of His Majesty and the people by closing himself at home for the rest of the day. ”

The emperor saw that Yuan Cheng was so sincere, and the elders of the Yuan Pavilion were eighty years old, and when he reached his old age, the most proud disciple had such a scandalous thing, which also damaged his reputation, and he almost died in his later years.

Thinking of this, the emperor understood the mood of the elder of the Yuan Pavilion.

The emperor thought for a moment before saying, "I agreed." But you ask him to come back to see me, I still have something to say to him. ”

Yuan Cheng immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" His Majesty is a success! ”

Wan Lin didn't expect that the elder of the Yuan Pavilion would put forward such an idea, if he also went into hiding, then the Jiewang Party would really be scattered.

Could it be that King Jie has given up completely? He really doesn't want to fight anymore?

Wan Lin couldn't help but worry about King Jie, I don't know how King Zhao should deal with himself after he becomes the crown prince?

"The three of you have worked tirelessly this time to find out the case, giving justice to the people and alerting the officials. I will reward you according to your merits, so go back first. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The three of them responded in unison and respectfully withdrew.

As soon as the three of them walked a short distance, they saw King Zhao coming over in high spirits.

"King Zhao?"

Xing Zhida said with relief: "His Royal Highness King Zhao's complexion looks good, it seems that his injuries should have fully recovered." ”

King Zhao quickly walked up to them, and the three of them saluted him together.

King Zhao said politely: "The three adults don't have to be polite. You've been working hard these days, and you look a little haggard and tired. ”

Yuan Cheng said first: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern. The ministers are all for the court and Dachen, and what they do is just internal affairs. ”

King Zhao asked, "I heard that the elder of the Yuan Pavilion fainted when he went to Wu Xuehai to be executed?" What happened to his old man's health? ”

Yuan Cheng replied: "My father is fine. But my father was too old to withstand the stimulation, and his health was not as good as before. My father asked his ministers to report to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to allow him to return to his hometown to reflect on himself, and he had no shame to face His Majesty and the courtiers again. ”

King Zhao said compassionately: "Yuan Ge is always an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he worked hard for Dachen, but in his later years, he encountered such a thing, which is really enough for him to block his heart." However, Wu Xuehai's mistake has nothing to do with him, and he should not blame himself for this matter. ”

Yuan Cheng said gratefully: "His Royal Highness Xie is the father of the minister's family. ”

"What a coincidence, are you all here?"

King Jie also came over at this time.
