Chapter 134: They Are Used as Pawns
In the imperial court, Jun Beimo found out the group of people who assassinated him, and he already had enough evidence in his hands.
Those peripheral officials who participated in this assassination, Jun Beimo asked them to raid their homes, and in order to avoid future troubles, Jun Beimo even ordered the nine clans.
As long as these people who do not support the emperor are not removed, then the emperor will face great danger, and his country will not be stable.
If the country is not stable, it will lead to wars and devastation.
For its core officials and the second prince in the fief who wanted to make a comeback, Jun Beimo sent heavy troops to guard them, cutting them off from contact with outsiders.
And tomorrow afternoon, those officials who have been robbed of their homes and punished by the nine clans will be executed.
On death row, men and women are dressed in prison uniforms, and their bodies are extremely dirty, and the old scenery is gone.
Most of them are blinded and regretful.
They originally supported the emperor, but the second prince who was sent to a remote area to be crowned king sent someone to say that this time the new emperor was very sure of overthrowing.
They said that they had taken advantage of the fact that the regent had gone to the disaster to assassinate him, and that the success rate was 10 out of 10.
Even if he didn't succeed, he promised that he would save himself.
In addition, he also promised himself that as long as he ascended the throne as emperor, he would definitely make himself a minister of the imperial court.
What these low-ranking officials are most eager for is to move inward, so they agreed to the second prince.
Unexpectedly, all the secret forces of so many foreign officials were united, and finally let him come back alive.
If he lives, then his own group will suffer. Although I heard that the regent has an iron-blooded wrist, he will be so iron-blooded and ruthless. But he didn't expect that he would actually order the whole house to be copied and beheaded.
However, now they can only hope that the second prince will keep his promise to save themselves.
………………………
The second prince, who was far away in the fiefdom, held two iron beads in his hands and kept turning.
I didn't expect this matter to fail, and besides, these officials who I had recruited were all ordered to punish the nine clans.
Even he was implicated.
Outside his house, those soldiers were guarding day and night, and no one could be allowed to enter or leave, which was really hateful.
In fact, the two princes are just pawns and use them to kill the regent.
If things can't be done, then the people who are damaged will not be the relatives who have been silent for a long time and are waiting for an outbreak, let alone implicate themselves.
Even if they verbally admit that they instructed it, there is no evidence, and the regent is still patient with himself.
Just like now, he has no evidence, and he can only temporarily send troops to guard his own house.
However, he didn't take those flags seriously.
Those people are not the core people, and the loss will be lost, so there is no need to take such a big risk to rob the death row.
I still need to recharge my energy and wait for the next opportunity.
……………………
In the evening, there were four officials on death row in the capital, and there were nearly 100 people including their families.
"Dad, tomorrow we all have to ask about beheading, when will the second prince send someone to save us? I don't want to die yet? ”
In one of the four families of officials who were separated from the four cells, a woman who was dirty but still visible hugged the arm of the man next to her and asked anxiously.
The middle-aged man who was being held patted his daughter's hand and said comfortingly: "Jiao'er, don't worry, the second prince will definitely send someone to save us if he speaks, you wait." ”
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl known as Jiao'er had despair in her eyes.
I have been locked up here for so many days, and the second prince has already saved it if he wants to save it.
Now, if the second prince doesn't send someone to save him tonight, then what should he do, will he rob the Dharma field tomorrow?
Tomorrow, there will definitely be a lot of officers and soldiers on the court, and the regent will personally supervise the beheading, and it will definitely be impossible for the second prince to save his family.
The more she thought about it, the more desperate she became.
With the cries of death row, the more panicked and desperate she became.
"It's time to eat, eat better tonight, and go on the road tomorrow."
Suddenly, a jailer with a basket of food in his hand walked in from the outside and stopped outside each cell.
Then the food corresponding to the number of people was stuffed into the prison according to the gap, and then placed on the dirty floor.
Tonight's meal was hearty, with chicken thighs from roast chicken and green vegetables.
People who have been eating rough food without oil and water for so many days rushed forward, picked up the rice and put it in their arms and stuffed it into their mouths.
Although everyone is now a prisoner, they still dare not cross the line against the men and wives who are the heads of the family, as well as the young master of the young lady.
They sat on the ground with their own bowl of rice in their arms, eating one bite at a time.
Although this bowl of rice is a severed head rice, even if they die, they will be starving to death.
The four officials and the closest people around them looked at the bowl of their own severed head rice left on the ground, although the chicken leg looked tempting, but they didn't have the heart to move.
"Dad, mother, come and eat something, if the second prince sends someone to save himself tonight, it will be difficult to escape if he has no strength to eat."
The young master of one of the four official households stepped forward to comfort his father.
Alas, he didn't expect that his father would agree to the second prince so confusedly, and all this caused now will be difficult to undo.
Alas, he also had some resignation in his heart.
The two officials and their wives, who had been comforted by their son, felt that their son's words made sense, so you picked up the bowl of rice on the ground and ate it.
Suddenly, the whole death row was filled with the smell of chicken thighs and the sound of everyone chewing heavily, which was spoiling some other death row inmates.
By the time the jailer had taken the empty bowl away, the men had burps and sat on dirty straw, and even those with cleanliness had to overcome it.
……………………
In the middle of the night, they didn't see each other, for fear that they would miss the opportunity to be rescued.
It's a pity that time passed bit by bit, and there was no movement outside the entire death row.
People who know that someone will save them comfort themselves in their hearts.
However, time passed little by little, and there was still no movement until nearly the early hours of the morning.
Many people can't stand it anymore and fall asleep on the straw.
Anyway, it's not noon yet, and there are still a few hours before noon, maybe those who come to save themselves will save themselves by robbing the Dharma field, so it's better for them to sleep well and recuperate their spirits now.
