Chapter 253: Kill Liu Qingbao
"How...... How is it a pregnant woman? "Could it be that the Liu family abdicated because of marriage?" "This must be the case, so that the bad-hearted sister will be in charge." "Or maybe Liu Dangjia is married to a Yan countryman...... Is this the sin of collaborating with the enemy? No, look at that belly is so big, when we get married, we Qingguo and Yanguo must have been friends...... How can it be so ......"
The people outside the fence are whispering, and even the more they say, the more exaggerated they become, they have become a love story of a businesswoman who has fallen into the country and the city, but the ending is above this court, no matter how you look at it, it is a tragedy.
Du Chenghuan's hand on the armrest of the chair was clenched suddenly, and the armrests in his hands made an unbearable sound, but not only him, but even Wen Haokai beside him was stunned on the spot, and because of this, no one noticed his abnormality.
"This ...... How is it a pregnant woman......" Wen Haokai was also taken aback, and then turned his head abruptly to look at Du Chenghuan, "This...... Will pregnant women still be beheaded? Even if she wants to be beheaded, she should wait until she gives birth before executing her......"
Du Chenghuan also saw that the prisoner was a pregnant woman, but Jiao Yuzhen's pregnancy was not a secret to him, so this prisoner was likely to be Jiao Yuzhen, but it was just ...... Didn't Jiao Yuzhen get kicked in the stomach by Liu Jinrou and miscarry?
Seeing that Du Chenghuan didn't speak, Wen Haokai's heart was even more uncomfortable, he was born in a poor family, he lost his father since he was a child, his mother raised him, and he was also sick because of this, he knew very well that it was a very painful thing for a woman to carry a child, so even if it was a female prisoner who had never met before, as long as she was pregnant, he couldn't give this slashing order!
Suddenly, in that instant, Wen Haokai reacted, he finally understood why Concubine Xi would arrange for Du Chenghuan to be beheaded with him, because Concubine Xi knew that he was soft-hearted, so she arranged for Du Chenghuan to come over!
"Master Du!" Wen Haokai hurriedly stood up from the chair and bowed to Du Chenghuan, "This prisoner is pregnant with Liujia, even if she is really guilty, but the child in her womb is not guilty, and I ask Master Du to go with me to ask Concubine Xi for a favor?" ”
"Yes, Liu Dangjia is not guilty!" "Let Liu be in charge!" "Let the kid go!"
As soon as Wen Haokai's words fell, the people outside the fence also roared in agreement, and the scene was once enthusiastic.
"That's good, of course." Although Du Chenghuan couldn't see the female prisoner's face clearly on the high platform, and the female prisoner was also disheveled, if you carefully calculated, the child in Jiao Yuzhen's womb was not kicked off by Liu Jinrou, and now it is seven or eight months old, which is very similar to the female prisoner, in this case, it is easier to save the female prisoner in a safe way than to rob the law field, after all, seeing that the female prisoner's belly is so big, if one is not good, she will be born prematurely, so ...... "Let the prisoner be sent back to the prison first, We work together in this case, and we should be able to let her give birth to the child well, after all, the child is innocent. ”
Du Chenghuan's voice when he said these words can be amplified a lot, just to let the people below and the ambushed Jimo Hanfei and others hear it, anyway, the protagonist's belly is so big, he can't make a big deal about anything!
The people didn't seem to expect that the two adults, the high-ranking young master and the Taifu, were such kind-hearted people, and they were all full of praise, but the joyful atmosphere did not last long, and suddenly a gong sounded when the palace car came over, and a large number of soldiers came to control the onlookers on both sides, making way to the Dharma field.
Miyaka ......
Du Chenghuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately knew that this was Concubine Xi coming!
The palace car stopped in front of the court, and a palace maid stepped forward to pull up the curtain of the palace car, and the little eunuch set up a small chair, and then both helped the beautiful woman wearing palace clothes in the palace car down.
Concubine Xi Zhiwen Ning has never appeared in the folk, let alone in the law field, so when she came out of the palace car, the people didn't recognize her, but she didn't come to show her identity, so as soon as she got out of the palace car, she directly raised her eyes to look at the female prisoner with a big belly on the law field, as well as Wen Haokai and Du Chenghuan who hurriedly walked down from the high seat.
"Ministers, see Concubine Xi." Du Chenghuan led everyone to bow towards Zhi Wenning.
With Du Chenghuan's salute, everyone present knelt down and saluted: "Concubine Xi Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
Zhi Wenning was not a person who particularly cared about etiquette, she waved her hand and motioned for everyone to get up: "Let's all be exempt from etiquette." The palace was ordered by the emperor to be beheaded today. This is a traitorous sinner, the emperor is very concerned about this execution, and he is also worried about it in his illness, so he will let this palace come, and now it seems that he is ...... I didn't miss the time! How is it? It's time to be executed, right? ”
When Wen Haokai heard this, he became anxious, and hurriedly bowed his head again: "Concubine Xi, although this female prisoner is guilty, but her child is not guilty, if she is beheaded now, her child will also be stillborn, please also ask Concubine Xi Niangniang to be merciful, don't behead this female prisoner now, is it okay to wait for her to give birth to a child first?" ”
Du Chenghuan was a little surprised to look at Wen Haokai out of the corner of his eye, he didn't expect that this young man would be in a high position overnight, but he didn't have the arrogance of a young man's ambition, but he would sympathize with a pregnant female prisoner, but he can't come forward now, today Concubine Xi arranged him to come here to supervise and behead, it is likely that he can test him, and because of this, he must not intercede at this time, so he had to ignore Wen Haokai's gaze for help and look away.
"yes, let her go!" "At least let that kid go!"
The people began to echo again, but because of the identity of Zhi Wenning is mother, the voice was only soft, and it looked like he dared to be angry and dare not speak.
Zhi Wenning raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't want to take this woman to have such a status in the hearts of the people, it seems that the public execution was indeed her mistake, but she came over in person, if she didn't lure Prince Jing out, wouldn't everything she did be in vain?
"This is a sinner who is treason and collaborator with the enemy, according to the law of Daqing, it is necessary to connect the nine clans, and because of this, Prince Jing's mansion and her are also implicated in the relationship between her and her, and the child in her womb is naturally within the nine clans, and she will be killed directly now, it will be much more comfortable than growing up in prison in the future and being killed in the end, right?" Zhi Wenning's words were not negotiable, and her words were also very reasonable, in fact, no matter which country it was, the crime of treason and collaboration with the enemy was all committed by the nine clans.
Wen Haokai naturally knew this law, but he couldn't watch a pregnant woman being killed, so he continued to plead: "Niangniang, even so...... The minister felt that this female prisoner was about to die, so it would be a pity to erase the unborn illness, and asked the mother to be gracious......"
Zhi Wenning glanced at Wen Haokai lightly, and wondered why Wen Haokai was pleading, Du Chenghuan had been standing quietly aside, Wen Haokai was the person selected by Jimo and Ao, and he must have no connection with Prince Jing, but this Du Chenghuan ...... She thought he was strange, but now it seemed the opposite.
"Mrs. Wen, in the future, when the prince is born, you are the prince's master, so it is not right to be so benevolent." Zhi Wenning looked at Du Chenghuan as he spoke, "Young Master Du should understand that the state has national laws, and the family has family rules. We are talking about it for so long here, but we are afraid that we will miss the time for the execution, and if the time passes, we will have to rearrange the time for the execution, which will only affect the peace and security of the country and the people. ”
Wen Haokai knew that it was useless for him to plead again, so he could only stop talking, but his eyes were still full of sympathy when he looked at the female prisoner kneeling on the court.
"Okay, don't say more." Zhi Wenning flicked his sleeves, walked towards the seat, and then sat down on the seat unceremoniously, only then looked at Du Chenghuan and asked, "Young Master Du, how is the time now?" ”
"It's three o'clock in the afternoon." Du Chenghuan answered truthfully.
"The hour is fine, then let's be executed."
Zhi Wenning picked up the token with the word "chop" written on the desk in front of him, and was about to throw it, but was held down by Wen Haokai with an arrow step.
"Presumptuous!" Zhi Wenning is a concubine, so naturally she can't have a little skin-to-skin contact with the courtiers, so she immediately withdrew her hand and glared at Wen Haokai angrily, but in an instant, she put away all her anger and spoke calmly and dignifiedly, "If Taifu Wen is unwell, please leave first." ”
"Mother's ......"
Zhi Wenning no longer paid attention to Wen Haokai, but instead glanced at the eunuchs on the side, and two eunuchs with thousands of people set up Wen Haokai on one side and pulled him aside.
Du Chenghuan had been standing silently aside, but when he saw Zhi Wenning's appearance that seemed to be impatient to be executed, he suddenly felt that the female prisoner kneeling below was probably Jiao Yuzhen, and used this method to get rid of Jiao Yuzhen, no matter how much Jimo and Ao cared about Jiao Yuzhen in their hearts, they probably couldn't stop it, so ......
"Young Master Du, do you have anything else to say?"
"No, let the mother worry." Du Chenghuan hurriedly bowed and took a step back.
"Then ......" Zhi Wenning said as he picked up the token on the desk, "This criminal is treason and collaboration with the enemy, and his crime is unforgivable, and he will be executed according to the law of Daqing." Chop! ”
The token fell to the ground with a "snap", and everyone present quieted down, only to see a burly nephew walking up to the court with a machete in his hand, personally taking off the name tag behind the female prisoner, handing it to the soldier and handing it over to Zhi Wenning's desk.
The decapitation seems to be such a momentary action, but the time for the executioner to go through the procedure one by one is a long process for all the people present, not to mention Wen Haokai, who was held by the eunuch, and even Du Chenghuan couldn't help but clench his fists, although he knew that these steps were all wanted, but now it looked like he was asking for a deliberate ......
After a quarter of an hour of slow tossing, the executioner stood beside the female prisoner and officially made a decapitation motion, and at the moment when the executioner was about to swing the machete, a cold light swept through the air, cutting the executioner's hand, causing the executioner to throw the machete in his hand to the ground.
Zhi Wenning looked at the flying knife that pierced the ground of the law field and entered the wood for three points, and laughed, sure enough, it was still a person who couldn't hold her breath, she originally thought that after tossing for so long, the other party might see that this was a trap and retreat in the face of difficulties, but the opponent who moved forward bravely was what she liked.
"Someone robbed the Dharma Field!" This roar was shouted by the executioner, and although he had killed countless people and was of great stature, he did not seem to be good at facing the enemy or anything, and he yelled as he fled to the side.
The soldiers all came up, and there were many people around Zhi Wenning, Wen Haokai and Du Chenghuan, and the eunuchs and palace maids who followed Zhi Wenning were naturally frightened, and they all hid behind those soldiers with pale faces, but if someone observes carefully, they will definitely find that the soldiers surrounding the female prisoners are the most, and someone has already pulled the female prisoners up, covering and seems to be retreating!
