Chapter 269: Burning at the stake
With a very sensitive sense of smell for medicine, Lan Xin quickly found a place to put medicinal materials, in this place, the light is still very dim, Lan Xin can only rely on his sense of smell, slowly looking for the medicinal materials he needs.
However, this greatly reduced its efficiency, and after working here for a long time, Lan Xin only found two or three flavored medicinal materials, but despite this, Lan Xin did not give up, and still concentrated on searching.
Time passed bit by bit, Lan Xin finally found the last medicinal herb he needed, and couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Found it!" ”
With his happy shout in this life, all of a sudden this place lit up, Lan Xin's eyes were pierced by the strong light, and he quickly raised his sleeve to block his eyes, and finally adapted to the light, Lan Xin slowly put his hand down, and the next second, his eyes were full of horror.
That nightmare-like face appeared in front of Lan Xin again, and Lan Xin subconsciously moved the medicinal herbs he had collected behind him.
"I wondered, are you smart? Or is someone helping you? The person who spoke was none other than Hongluan, and he was thinking at the moment, and his eyes were deeply disturbing.
"I found this here on my own, and I have nothing to do with anyone else." Lan Xin was extremely nervous.
Hongluan smiled and shook his head incessantly: "No, you've only been here for two days, and you're still asleep on the first day, how can you know about such a confidential place?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the place behind Lan Xin, and Lan Xin hurriedly leaned against the wall: "You don't have to be nervous, I won't do anything to you, if I guess correctly." You've got all the herbs you need, right? If you want to take it from your friend, tell the person who brought you here, and let you take all the herbs. ”
In such a critical time, these medicinal materials are indeed life-saving, but Lan Xin is not the kind of person who is ungrateful, and he can't let that young man lose his life because he saved Mo Yan's life. After a pause, he said very firmly:
"Nobody brought me here, I found it myself, and if you have to find someone who brought me here, it's you."
Hongluan couldn't help but hook his lips: "It's really sharp-toothed, and you won't tell the truth if you are caught, but it doesn't matter, I believe that it won't be long before the person who brought you here will stand up on his own." ”
Hongluan smiled, that smile made people feel gloomy in the depths of their hearts, when Lan Xin was about to open his mouth to defend himself, he suddenly felt that his body shook for a while, and then his head was swollen, as a poisoner, she finally understood that she was also poisoned, and then looked at Hongluan, his smile became more and more gloomy, Lan Xin tried to raise his hand and pointed at Hongluan, wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, and fell directly to the ground after a while.
Hongluan looked at Lan Xin who fell to the ground, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a touch of coldness, he never thought that there were still people here who dared to secretly help Lan Xin, which he absolutely could not tolerate.
In Kyoto, the next day, the city gate, which was originally full of people, seemed very deserted at the moment, and those who wanted to go back and forth into the city saw the dripping blood on the ground, and all of them retreated without exception.
On the high city wall, the heads of people were hung on the city wall by ropes, and the blood flowed along the city wall to the red lines of the saints, some of them were frightened, some were unwilling, some were weak and pitiful, and some were sad and sad, these various expressions could not say a word at the moment.
The people all stood in the corner from afar, watching the tragic scene, and no one dared to believe that the prime minister's mansion of the dynasty was punished by the nine clans overnight.
At this time, on the city wall, General Chen slowly walked out, looked at the submissive people below, and was very satisfied, hanging out these heads, which can be regarded as a deterrent, and then cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Everyone listen, Fan Yi colluded with the King of Beijing, intending to murder the emperor and usurp the throne, now, he has subdued the law, and the emperor has an order, but anyone who knows the whereabouts of the traitor King Beijing and his accomplices will come to report immediately, and reward a thousand taels of silver, if you dare to hide and not report, the following people will be your fate!"
Suddenly, the people who were hiding in the distance shrank their heads one after another, and no one wanted to have anything to do with this matter.
In the palace, after listening to the reports of the people below, the queen mother still looked gloomy, and the emperor also felt a little ridiculous on the side.
"Are you fooling me? So many people were sent to look for it, and they found nothing? Can they disappear into thin air? The emperor said angrily.
"The emperor forgives the sin, I really can't find out their news, all the large and small pharmacies on the way to the northern Xinjiang have been checked, but no one knows where they are." The guards lowered their heads very low, for fear that they would accidentally touch the emperor's moldy head and lose their lives.
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and waved her hand to the guard: "You can retreat first." ”
The emperor looked at the Queen Mother puzzled: "Queen Mother, don't we check anymore?" ”
"He can escape from the siege of so many people, which shows that he also has some skills, how can these rice buckets be found, instead of looking for a needle in a haystack like this, we should come and wait for the rabbit, the emperor will immediately send troops to the north now, first destroy his forces, and then hide, waiting for him to throw himself into the net." The queen said gloomily.
"The queen mother is wise." The emperor's face finally showed a smile, this time, he will not be soft-hearted, and he will not make the mistakes he made before.
And at this moment in the valley, Mo Yan is still in a coma stage, Lan Xin has not come back all night, Xiao Liu has already been in a hurry, and he is now aware that Mo Yan's breath is becoming weaker and weaker, as if he may die at any time.
"Why haven't you come back? Could something be wrong? Xiao Liu walked around the house, wanting to go out and have a look, but remembering Lan Xin's advice, he had to hold back, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious.
Xiao Liu leaned down and said to Mo Yan: "Lord Wang, it's not that I don't care about you, the girl didn't come back after a night's walk, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him, so, Lord Wang, you must take care of your body before I come back." ”
After speaking, Xiao Liu immediately ran out of the house, and when he walked out of the house, he found that these people did not work today, and they were walking in the same direction, Xiao Liu followed these people over, and when he came to the place where these people gathered, Xiao Liu's mouth was shocked and could be stuffed with an egg.
And I saw that all these people were gathered around a pile of firewood and grass, and on top of the firewood and grass was a thick cross, and on the cross was tied a woman, and this woman was none other than Blue Heart!
"Girl!" Xiao Liu couldn't help but shout, but Lan Xin was now in a coma and couldn't hear his shout at all.
Xiao Liu was anxious, and immediately rushed to the cross: "Girl! Girl! What happened to you! Girl! ”
In these quiet crowds, Xiao Liu's actions were very conspicuous, and Hongluan naturally noticed him easily, threw a look at the people next to him, and immediately came over and walked towards Xiao Liu.
At the moment when Xiao Liu rushed to the firewood and grass, he was immediately controlled by the two people who came over, and Xiao Liu was so anxious that a layer of sweat broke out on his head.
"Let me go! Why arrest me! Let me go! Xiao Liu kept struggling, but his thin body, in front of these two strong men, was not worth mentioning at all.
"Girl! Girl! Xiao Liu couldn't stop shouting at Lan Xin.
At this moment, in the crowd, the young man's fists were already clenched, and there was a faint trace of anger in his eyes, but among so many people, it would not attract Hongluan's attention at all.
Except for Xiao Liu's voice, the whole scene was very quiet, Hongluan also felt that Xiao Luan's voice was very noisy, and gave his subordinates another look, Xiao Liu's mouth was immediately blocked, and he couldn't say a word anymore when he whimpered.
The ears finally quieted down, Hongluan walked in front of everyone, glanced at Lan Xin, who was still unconscious on the elevated shelf, and then said to everyone: "This person stole medicinal materials last night, and was caught by me on the spot, according to the law, he should be punished by fire, and he will be executed here in public today, so that everyone knows that in our place, we are absolutely not allowed to do anything on our own!" ”
Below it was quiet, everyone seemed to be listening to Hongluan very carefully, Hongluan looked around, and the young man's fist immediately loosened, and his face was replaced with an indifferent look.
"However, this person confessed, when he stole, someone gave him directions, which made me never expect that there were still people who dared to be accomplices with this thief, I am really very sad, we have always been simple here, since this person came, there has been such a bad thing as theft, and it has also damaged our family, this crime is unforgivable! And the person who showed the way for this thief, I believe you were confused for a while, please stand up now, take the initiative to admit your mistake in front of everyone, I will definitely not blame the past, and give you another chance. Hongluan said, and began to slowly observe the changes in the expressions of these people below.
I have to say that this young man hid it very well, that is, Hongluan's gaze swept over his body several times, and he didn't find anything wrong with him, but Hongluan seemed to have a conclusion in his heart, and when he saw that no one under him spoke, he didn't say anything more.
Hongluan raised his hand slightly, his thin lips opened slightly, and spit out two cold and abnormal words: "Ignition!" ”
Xiao Liuyi's legs were a little weak when he heard this, even if he couldn't speak, he was shouting desperately, trying his best to rush to the firewood.
A person next to him had already picked up the torch and walked past Xiao Liu, the blazing flame burned Xiao Liu's heart cold.
