Since the last time an Assassin appeared on the street, Vegin hadn't been dragged out on the streets. Today is the time of execution, and many people are gathered around the entrance of the city, all looking forward to seeing him executed.

However, there are rules for the beheading of the Chu State, and the execution must be carried out through the curtain, mainly to prevent the people from being frightened by the bloody scene.

Today, Nan Huaifeng went to the city with Jiang Ziyu early, and seeing that it was almost time for the execution, the countess appeared with a group of people.

"Mother, save me!" Wei Jin saw hope, struggled to get up and ran to his mother, after being pressed down by the official next to him, his eyes were full of hope to look at his mother, and he also had a little confidence in his heart - with his mother, he would be fine.

The countess glanced at her son soothingly, and then took out a sign from her bosom, "I have the gold medal given by the emperor to avoid death, why don't you let my son go?" ”

Jiang Ziyu, who was watching from a distance, frowned, turned his face and asked, "What's the matter?" Nan Huaifeng shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't remember what the Wei family did so much that the imperial examination would reward the gold medal for avoiding death. ”

Lu Yiting is a prison officer, and he sent someone to take the death-free gold medal, he looked at it carefully for a while, and this piece was indeed true. He is in a dilemma right now, the people are here, should they just let him go?

"Beheading, that is, going against the will of the emperor, ignoring the existence of the gold medal for avoiding death, is easy to be labeled as unfilial piety by the officials and ministers. If you don't cut it, you will go against public opinion. Jiang Ziyu said lightly, this matter is not easy to decide.

Nan Huaifeng thought for a long time with a cold face, lowered his head and whispered a few words to Jiang Ziyu, and then Jiang Ziyu went straight to the execution ground. Nan Huaifeng's gaze has never taken off her, there are many things he can't do, but Jiang Ziyu can.

"The hour hasn't come yet?" Jiang Ziyu pretended not to know and appeared on the execution ground, and Lu Yiting also felt a little bottom in his heart when he saw her coming, and walked down from the prison position with the countess's gold medal for avoiding death.

"Princess, the Countess has taken the gold medal for avoiding death."

Jiang Ziyu took the gold medal and glanced at it, then walked up to the countess and said lightly: "Mrs. still accept this gold medal, whether he pays it today or not, he will die." ”

Wei Jin was shocked when he heard this, and urgently shouted for his mother to save him. The countess didn't expect Jiang Ziyu to say this, and immediately became angry and shouted: "This is the gold medal given by the emperor to avoid death, could it be that he Nan Huaifeng wants to disobey his father?" The first emperor has only been dead for a few years, so don't you take him seriously? ”

"How? It's just that this crime is big or small, and Wei Jin's crime is unforgivable, so naturally he can't avoid death. Jiang Ziyu's expression was indifferent, and he was still playing with the gold medal that the countess had never taken back.

The countess relied on the fact that she had this gold medal, and she was not so respectful to Jiang Ziyu, and pointed at her and glared angrily and said: "The rebellion can still be exonerated, let alone such a trivial matter?" ”

"A trifle?" Jiang Ziyu looked at her straight, raised his voice and said coldly: "What is a big deal in the eyes of the countess?" Wei Jin deliberately bought and developed poisonous insects that could transmit diseases and spread the disease, knowing that if he was not careful, he would harm the people of the entire capital, and he didn't care, can this be called a trivial matter? ”

The people cooperated and scolded, and the countess looked a little embarrassed, glanced at the people in the audience and said, "But the truth is not as serious as you said." ”

"That's because the forbidden princess risked her life and the people of the imperial hospital made an antidote, if there is no antidote, the lives of thousands of people in this capital, what will your Earl's Mansion pay for?" Many people spoke out for Jiang Ziyu, and many of these emotional people were family members who had been infected with the disease, and they almost lost their relatives.

As soon as she mentioned this countess, she was angry, and retorted with one hand in her waist: "The plague broke out in just a few days, and the forbidden princess has the ability to make an antidote so quickly, I'm afraid that Hua Tuo can't compare to you when she is alive." ”

Jiang Ziyu knew that she had something to say, and she didn't care about it, she just weighed the arrow to avoid death and said, "Madam, don't delay time, you better keep this gold medal." ”

When the countess saw that the criminal officer on the side was going to put the curtain, she hurriedly stopped: "No! The gold medal for avoiding death is here, and you can't touch my son today. ”

Jiang Ziyu looked at it with cold eyes, and his tone unconsciously carried a bit of threat: "What if I have to kill him?" ”

"That'...... Then you're going to be rebellious! The Countess was unable to refute her justification, and could only suppress these morals and ethics.

Jiang Ziyu hooked his lips and sneered, stretched out his hand and threw out the heavenly silk to put the curtain down, and at the same time took out a sword from the waist of the soldier next to him and put it directly on the neck of the countess, and whispered to Lu Yiting: "Execution." ”

"Mother! Save me! I don't want to die. Vegin shouted in despair, looking at the shadow of the axe held high behind him on the ground, trembling like chaff.

Lu Yiting nodded and turned back to the prison beheading platform, drew a lottery token and threw it down, shouting majestically in his mouth: "Execution!" ”

"No!" The countess also wanted to stop it, Jiang Ziyu's long sword was across her neck, and in just an instant, the curtain next to her was splashed with blood, and the people below applauded, and some praised the princess's might. Wei Jin's skull was on the side, and the special official in charge picked it up and loaded it with the corpse.

Because the countess was on the side of the stage and witnessed the beheading of her son, the excessive shock and grief made her faint directly.

Jiang Ziyu returned the long sword, glanced at the countess who fell at his feet, and said to the soldiers next to him: "Send her back to the Earl's Mansion of Yongyi, as for this gold medal for avoiding death, let whoever is it take it, lest there be a mistake on the road, and no one can afford it." Originally, criminals were not allowed to send their bodies home, but this palace remembered the past merits in the Earl's palace of Yongyi, and approved this grace. Although burial is allowed, no mourning is allowed. ”

The soldiers carried the countess down, Jiang Ziyu looked at the people in the audience and pondered for a while, and said: "The emperor and the prince always think about you in their hearts, and they regard the people as the sky. The gold medal for avoiding death is a person who can be exempted from capital crimes such as rebellion, but it is absolutely inevitable that he will deliberately harm the people. ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, the prince and princess, long live, thousand years old, thousand years old."

The people below knelt on the ground in tacit understanding, shouting this sentence in unison, and shouted it several times in a row. They respect the emperor and the princess from the bottom of their hearts, as well as this forbidden princess who dares to speak and do things for them.

Nan Huaifeng stood at the fence on the second floor of the tavern opposite, his eyes full of appreciation and smiles - Jiang Ziyu is not a person who talks much, but every word he says can have a good effect and effect.

Today's thing is that tomorrow the civil officials will make trouble, and the people will block Jiang Ziyu, and she will also allow Wei Jin's body to be sent back to the house, which can be regarded as a grace, and those ministers will definitely not say anything, but have to praise her for being fair and thoughtful.

Syllable! Earl Wei listened to the advice of his subordinates, gritted his teeth, and knocked the teacup in his hand to the ground with anger.

In the Earl Yongyi's Mansion, Duke Wei and his wife and the couple in the second room were originally invited to talk, and Count Wei thought that the lady would be able to save his son in a short time with the gold medal for avoiding death, and he happened to discuss with them how to deal with the Forbidden Palace.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting for the comatose lady and the body of her son to come back.

It stands to reason that few of the beheaded people can bring the corpse home, but Jiang Ziyu sent the corpse back to them in order to make a show in front of the people, so that outsiders only thought that the princess was not a bad treat for the Wei family.

The broken porcelain pieces of the teacup splashed on the ground, Wei Guogong and his wife glanced at each other, got up and said: "Uncle also please mourn, I want to come to the house to cook a lot of things, and our husband and wife will leave first without bothering." ”

Count Wei couldn't hold a smile on his face, and Wei Guogong and his wife waved their hands to prevent them from being sent, and then hurriedly got into the carriage.

"It's useless to go with the gold medal for avoiding death, how can Lu Yiting be so bold?" The two of them have been in the Earl's Palace, because they don't know what is going on outside, they just think that Lu Yiting did it.

Wei Guogong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't necessarily be Lu Yiting's doing. When the lady heard this, she lifted the curtain and said to the outside world: "Go, ask what the situation is, such a big thing has happened, it must have spread." ”

The maid next to her went to the side to inquire about the news, and after a short time, she came back and told her what had just happened at the execution ground.

"This Jiangzi fisherman...... It's really ruthless, and there is no one in the eyes. The Duchess covered her chest with some fear, frowned and worried: "Now the emperor's gold medal for avoiding death is regarded as nothing in front of her, and the two of them have strong public opinion, that is...... It's also useless. Madame didn't dare to say all the words, but Wei Guogong already understood.

Now that the situation is very clear, with the current position of the couple in the hearts of the people, they will not find an excuse to dispose of the Guogong Mansion and even the Queen Mother and King Rui casually, and no one will say anything, and they will even help maintain the image of the two of them.

"I don't look like the princess is a wicked person, and she saved my son the day before yesterday. Who sent the Assassins? Why do you want to target my son? Yesterday, your sister sent me into the palace to inquire, and everything in and out of the words implied that the princess did this, in order to make us think that she was a benefactor. But I heard my son say that Jiang Ziyu's appearance at that time didn't seem to be in the know. ”

Mrs. Guogong is not a fool, why did Jiang Ziyu do such a play, in order to let the Guogong Mansion remember her kindness? In this case, she should have expressed something when she surrendered to Cheng that day, instead of refusing directly.

Besides, she listened to her son, he thanked the princess, and people didn't take a second look at their son, and they didn't even listen to him.

"My Wei family is such a son, my sister's son, his surname is Nan." Wei Guogong had already made a decision in his heart, and there were some things that his sister couldn't do.

Madame was embarrassed when she heard this, "But how can our family get along with her?" ”

"There is a way, Ziyi has not had any playmates since he returned to Beijing, and his friends are all from the three sects and nine streams, I remember that the youngest son of King Kang's family is the same age as him?" Wei Guogong knew that if he wanted to keep his son, he could only settle it with his family.

The throne is not for his son in the end, so why let his son go to prevent disasters? Today, I saw Jiang Ziyu's skills, and whatever she said became for the country and the people, and it was too much of a loss to go against her.

Besides, his own son is not easy to compete for, and if the matter between adults involves him, it is really innocent. For the sake of the child, he had to give up some things, such as fame and affection.
