Chapter 44: Beheading

Noon

Three days ago, the imperial court posted notices in various parts of the city, publicizing all Li Bo's crimes, and the emperor found out about this, Long Yan was furious, and beheaded him today, giving an explanation to the people.

Many people had gathered early before the noon gate, and most of the people in the city who saw the notice came, and what they hated most was corrupt officials and corrupt officials

The people gathered in the audience looked at Li Bo, who was kneeling on the stage with a look of hatred, dressed in prison clothes and carrying heavy iron chains in his hands

Each of them carried a basket of vegetables in his hand, which was full of rotten vegetables taken from home, and smashed it at him

"Stunk this dog officer to death!" I don't know who shouted, and in an instant, everyone smashed even more

shouted and scolded, "This dog official has killed so many people, and he is innocent!" ”

"That's right, that's right, he actually relaxed those bandits to kill the people, he is simply not worthy of being an official"

"He killed so many people, stoned him!"

"Dog officer, you are not worthy of being a human being!"

"Fengling has an official like you, it's simply unlucky!"

"Are you a man? A couple of bandits will scare you to death! ”

"You go die"

……

Rotten eggs, cabbage leaves...... smashed into his face from the hands of the people one after another, Li Bo was supporting his strength in his heart this time, and he also cried in the face of this big scene.

His head was covered with vegetable leaves and rotten egg liquid, and he looked so embarrassed that he couldn't see his original appearance anymore

Li Bo raised his head, looked at the resentful faces of the people in the audience, and wished that he would die quickly, and felt guilty for a while, it was all his fault, it was his cowardice and incompetence that led to the death of so many people, it was he who only cared about having fun and oppressing the people, as an official, he fell into such a fate, it was he who suffered by himself

As long as his father, mother, and wife are well, it is not a pity for him to die, if he harms them again, then he is better than dead!

Thinking of his father's and mother's pampering and indulgence to him since he was a child, as well as his wife's thoughtfulness and his son's sensibility, Li Bo's heart pierced his heart

O man! Always don't cherish it when you have it, and regret it only when you lose it!

He closed his eyes and waited for the final punishment, the final end of his life.

The officials stood next to the execution ground, looking at the spectacular scene in front of them, and their hearts were shocked!

The resentful faces of the people caught their eyes, as if they were directed at them

If one day they are also caught in corruption, then this is their fate!

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but tremble their legs, and secretly swore in their hearts that they would be more careful in doing things in the future, and they must not be caught, otherwise what awaits them will be a catastrophe

The timekeepers saw the hour, strode to the stage, took out a wrigley, threw it in front of Li Bo, and shouted, "Noon has come!" Execute! ”

As these words fell, everyone's hearts were raised.

An executioner walked to the stage, picked up the big knife that had already been sharpened, took a bowl of wine handed by the officers and soldiers in his hand, drank it into his mouth, sprayed it on the knife in one gulp, stood behind Li Bo, raised the knife in his hand, aimed it at his head, and Li Bo slowly closed his eyes

Suddenly, with a wave of his big hand, he slashed his big knife, and the blood gushing out instantly spilled all over the ground

When the faint-hearted people saw this bloody scene, they cried out in fear

The bold people applauded when they saw this picture, what they hated most was the corrupt official, and besides, he had harmed so many people, and they only felt happy to see him end up like this!

When the officials who watched the tour saw this bloody scene, several of them who were too cowardly fainted and lay unconscious on the ground

Shangguan Haoyu hurriedly asked people to carry them away and send them back to the mansion, with a sneer in his eyes, and looked at the officials who were carried away by the family with disdain, secretly sarcastic in his heart, this can't stand it?

The execution was over, and the ministers fulfilled the emperor's will and returned to their homes one after another

Walking on the way to their carriage, some of the ministers were still trembling in their legs

Thinking of the shouting and scolding of the people and the bloody picture just now, I remember it vividly, and my heart is still a torrent of turbulence, and I can't calm down for a long time, it's terrible!

The Imperial Study

Leng Yi stood in the middle of the room, bowed down to Qi Hanxuan and reported the picture he had just seen at the noon gate, hearing those ministers, one by one, trembling with fright, a sneer in his eyes, and sneering

"I'm afraid, why don't they think about the court and the people when they do things, a group of cowards and afraid of things, if it weren't for the secret guards who happened to go to the south to do business this time, how would I know that bandits are rampant!"

After a pause, he continued, "Wait until next month, I will personally go out on patrol to see how the country I govern!" By the way, I also investigated and investigated, which corrupt officials and corrupt officials are hated by the people but are helpless, and the DPRK and China can't afford to raise these tumors! ”

Leng Yi listened to it and knelt down one by one, and dissuaded, "The emperor can't, your body is precious, how can you go out on patrol in person, just leave these things to the ministers, you have to sit in the head of the court, control the overall situation, and don't get involved in danger in person." ”

Qi Hanxuan's eyes were firm, this was also something he wanted to do for a long time, but he never had the opportunity, there were too many practices in the DPRK and China, he had just taken over the government for three years, and his heart was unstable and he couldn't leave

But now, there is basically no major incident in the court, and he can also leave for a while to check, looking at Leng Yi's worried look, he replied, "This matter has been decided, but don't say it in advance, I am going to make an unannounced visit, if I don't go to see it myself, how can I know my negligence, and how to better manage the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains handed over to me by my father."

"By the way, how happened to Bai Yuefei who asked you to check last time?"

Leng Yi thought of the information he had collected, summed it up in his heart, and bowed down and said, "Smart and witty, upright, calm in trouble, innocent in family, and indeed a useful talent" After receiving the emperor's orders, he personally went to Meng Province to investigate, and personally sent someone to test that Bai Yuefei, as the locals said, there was no lie.

Hearing this, Qi Hanxuan darkened his eyes, thoughtfully, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "I know about this matter, you should step back first."

"The minister retired" Leng Yiyi saluted and retreated.

mentioned Bai Yuefei just now, he was busy with government affairs these days and had no time to take care of the harem, and suddenly thought of Bai Tiantian in his mind, and when he thought about it, he called out to the door, "Zhou Fu!" ”

Zhou Fu hurriedly walked in and walked to his side, "What's wrong?" The Emperor"

"What has the white beauty been doing lately?" He asked.

Zhou Fu was overjoyed, he guessed correctly this time, the emperor really remembered the white beauty in his heart, fortunately, he sent someone in advance to inquire about what she was doing recently

But this white beauty is really lazy enough, and he doesn't understand it when he thinks of it

Other concubines dressed up all day long to come to the imperial study to send food and drink, or go to the imperial garden, waiting for the emperor on the way to the court, hoping that the emperor can take a look at them and be favored

But this white beauty is good, she eats, drinks, sleeps and sleeps in Yunyan Pavilion all day long, and she doesn't step out of the door, she sees through the red dust, prepares to live a good life by herself, and spends the rest of her life in Yunyan Pavilion safely?

Bah, where did he think of it, Zhou Fu hurriedly returned to his senses, "Your Majesty, the white beauty has been in Yunyan Pavilion for the past few days and has not gone out." ”

"Didn't go out? What is she doing in Cloud Smoke Pavilion? Sure enough, as he thought, Bai Tiantian was so afraid of attracting attention, how could he go out and have an intersection with those concubines!

A smile crossed Qi Hanxuan's eyes, and without listening to Zhou Fu's answer to his inquiry, he directly turned his head and ordered, "Go to Yunyan Pavilion"

With that, he walked out.
