Chapter 001: The Worst Criminal
In the twenty-third year of the Xuanqing calendar, the sun was sunny in spring.
It is a good day to go out, the Xuanjiao Tower at the noon gate of the Dongluyi Imperial Palace is crowded with people inside and out, and the people around the periphery are boiling, and the noisy and scolding is soaring into the sky, but the building is quiet, the forbidden army is fully armed with sharp weapons, and the Xuanjiao Tower is strictly guarded with a solemn expression, for fear that there will be a little mistake-
Pei Xie Tang, the lord of Tai'an, who once had unlimited scenery, but disregarded loyalty and filial piety etiquette and violated the grace of heaven, and did more than ten evil things such as killing people and setting fires, buying officials and lords, accepting bribes, and betraying the country, will be sentenced to death here!
"Look, even the forbidden army has dispatched so much!"
"But no, this Tai'an county lord is not easy to mess with, there are not many people, where can he beat her? Fierce, after three generations of tiger generals, he was born as the champion of martial arts, and he was a general in the northwest......"
"Phew, what if you have a good martial arts, a traitor, a murderer, a man who can be a man, and he will die early and make the world clean!"
"It's a pity that General Pei's first life is famous, and he gave birth to a shameless daughter! Fortunately, General Pei died two years ago, and he can't see it, otherwise he is afraid that he will die of life. But then again, that is, General Pei died too early and couldn't control this thief, so she was allowed to live to plague our Eastern Continent! β
"Haha, Brother Tai is right, fortunately, the sky is open, this stinky girl's skin is finally going to die. I heard that it was the prince of Huai'an who presided over the execution, and this splash pestered the prince for five or six years, and the prince could finally spit out a bad breath this time! β
"Holy Wise ......"
When people spoke, their faces showed full joy, tiptoeing, probing their bodies, and staring at the Xuanjiao Tower, just waiting for the heinous Tai'an County Lord to be escorted to the city tower and die in front of everyone's eyes.
Whoaβ
The heavy chains dragged on the ground and smashed against the heavy planks, step by step as if they had hit someone's heart, and even time stood still.
The discussion on the periphery immediately subsided, and they all looked at Xuanjiao Tower. The sound of the iron chains on the Xuanjiao Tower was muffled, and every sound provoked the hearts of the people, and everyone was overjoyed, exchanging excited looks with each other, but they all cared about something, and never spoke again.
Upstairs in Xuanjiao, three figures slowly climbed the wall of the building, and on the left and right were the highly guarded forbidden army, and the woman in the middle was particularly eye-catching!
Slender and tall figure, wearing a plain white dress, hair scattered to the waist, rippling with a fluttering elegant demeanor, like the light clouds covering the moon, like the snow of the flowing wind, it is really as moving as the goddess comes to the world. The spring breeze on the Xuanjiao Tower was cold, the skirt was flying, her eyes were light and calm, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and she suddenly smiled, and in a blink of an eye, she was startled by the invisible sword light and sword shadow, and it was like a thorny red rose in the dark night. Rao is she described as haggard and pale, but it still makes people tremble slightly.
"Ah, this is Pei Xie Tang, the lord of Tai'an......"
Someone in the crowd let out a frightened exclamation, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to the man who was already waiting on the Xuanjiao Tower.
The curvature of the corners of Pei Xie Tang's mouth became deeper and deeper, and he also turned his gaze away, and greeted with a smile: "Is the prince here to send me on the road?" Your Majesty is so kind to me. β
Zhu Xinzhi stood in the shadows with his hands folded, and his face was gloomy when he heard the words: "I'm going to die, and my mouth still refuses to spare anyone, Pei Xie Tang, are you really not afraid of death at all?" β
"I'm scared." Pei Xie Tang grinned: "I'm scared to death." But the left and right are going to die, so it's better to make yourself comfortable. She lowered her eyes and sighed softly as if she was reluctant: "After all, there is no prince in hell, I...... If you don't have anyone to accompany you, it will be very lonely. β
"Humph!" In response to her, Zhu Xinzhi sneered softly.
Pei Xie Tang's eyes softened: "The prince doesn't believe me?" β
"Why do so many wrong things?" Zhu Xinzhi ignored her, just took two steps forward, got a few closer to her, and shook his head full of puzzlement: "How can you be worthy of your father?" β
Pei Xie Tang's smiling expression had a momentary crack, fleeting, but he laughed even more fiercely: "I said that I like the prince, and after six years, the prince didn't believe it; I said that I was going to die alone, it was very lonely, and the prince didn't believe it; Then I said that I didn't do any of this, and the prince didn't believe it if he wanted to. The prince asked me if I was okay with my father, and I felt a little sorry, but not because of these, but because I couldn't keep his posthumous son. β
After a pause, he added, "That's all." β
"Stubborn!" Seeing this, Zhu Xinzhi became more and more angry by her, and turned his back and returned to his position.
The eunuch handed over the holy decree, Zhu Xinzhi took it, unfolded the black edict and read it. sprinkled hundreds of words of holy decree, listing her Pei Xie Tang's crimes one by one. Pei Xie Tang knelt on the Xuanjiao Tower, looking at Zhu Xinzhi who was standing with a smile, but there was a feeling of bitterness in his heart.
In the prison, the jailer's words rang in his ears again: "You Xiao think about the people you shouldn't think, you offend the people you shouldn't offend, you deserve it!" If it weren't for you, how could the prince of Huai'an be delayed for six years? β
I delayed him, so I ended up like this!
Murder and arson, buying and selling officials, accepting bribes, defecting to the enemy and betraying the country...... Which of these crimes is a capital crime, and I have tried so much to settle myself, how afraid is that I can't die? Delay? Also, if it weren't for himself, with Zhu Xinzhi's identity, status, appearance and talent, he would have been married and concubineed with a group of children, and he would indeed be damned!
Pei Xie Tang tilted his head slightly, a little puzzled, it was all his handwriting, how could he ask himself such a stupid question?
Well, Zhu Xinzhi, a righteous gentleman, is really completely different from himself, and even sings better than himself in the play!
After Zhu Xinzhi finished reading the holy decree, the eunuch took it and handed him a glass of clear liquor.
He lowered his eyebrows: "County Lord, please!" β
Pei Xie Tang took it generously.
Because she is not only a woman of the Pei family, but also the county lord of Emperor Xuanqing, a prince of one party, Rao is guilty of many crimes, Emperor Xuanqing was sad, but still gave her a complete corpse, and a glass of wine ended her life.
The wine in the cup, the crane's top red, reflected her cheeks fluttering. Pei Xie Tang drank it all.
"Let's go." Zhu Xinzhi's gaze was calm.
Pei Xie Tang's color was gentle and gentle, she looked at Zhu Xinzhi quietly, her palms clenched into fists in her sleeves, she chuckled, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Lord Wang, do you know where my name comes from?" β
"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people." Such questions were difficult for Zhu Xinzhi, and he replied casually: "General Pei is a rare civil and military master. β
"What a time!" Pei Xie Tang smiled, a mouthful of blood flowed out of her mouth, she described it as a little embarrassed, but her expression was awe-inspiring, her back was straight, and she had the inviolable majesty of a battlefield general, "The vicissitudes of the world, my time has come, and the time of the Pei family has also arrived." It's just that...... I died at your hands, Lord Wang, Huangquan Road, Nai He Bridge, Pei Xie Tang should stay for you. β
Her eyebrows were crooked, but her tone was cold, making people's backs chill: "Don't make me wait for a long time!" β
"Bold!"
Someone scolded fiercely, but Pei Xie Tang's eyes slowly couldn't see clearly, she knelt on the ground straight, and heard the people downstairs in Xuanjiao cheering in unison, applauding, and her heart was quite sad.
The swallows at the door of Wang Dao and Xie An's house can't be kept, can the swallows at the door of her Pei's house be kept?
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!
Scold...... Imperial!
Unwilling!
She pestered him, and if she died today, she deserved it, but he should never drag the entire Pei family on board!
Pei Xie Tang opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth gradually stiffened, looking at the hustle and bustle of the crowd in the distance, and Zhu Xinzhi's face looking sideways, he couldn't help but secretly swear that as long as there was still a chance, the hardships she had endured would definitely let Zhu Xinzhi taste it again! She must let Zhu Xinzhi's pain not want to live! If the stigma imposed on her and wronged the entire Pei family, she will definitely return it to him a hundred and ten times!
β¦β¦
Xie Fu.
From Wassenson, the spring flowers are shining in the cold west courtyard, the yellow spring flowers reflect the pink peach branches, and the breeze brings a cold fragrance into the room. On the hard bed that lifted the curtain, a light purple figure turned over slightly, and his arm swept over the edge of the bed, and he was suddenly startled by something.
Bang β
The crisp sound exploded in his ears, Pei Xie Tang broke out in a cold sweat, and the carp sat up from the bed. With her eyes half-open, she held her knees and gasped for breath, feeling that her head hurt badly, and her mouth was dry and painful, Pei Xie Tang was busy calming down, and got out of bed to look for water to drink.
As soon as Fang moved, Pei Xie Tang was completely stunned.
The small room, the simple and old furnishings, the dirty cloth curtain floating in the wind, the sunlight through the room, the dust in the air at a glance, and a pair of embroidered shoes in front of the bed became more and more unfamiliar.
Where is this?
Pei Xie Tang rubbed his forehead and stared at the embroidered shoes in front of the bed a little confused. She was born in a family of military generals, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she has never worn any embroidered shoes with long boots and short boots!
"Miss, are you awake?" Just as she was thinking about it, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and a round face poked in, and when she glanced at her, her round eyes immediately bent into a crescent moon: "It's scared to death the slave!" β
Miss?
Pei Xie Tang stared at the little girl in front of him with puzzled eyes, she had no maids to serve since she was a child, and in the two years after her father's death, she held the Northwest Army in her hands, and whoever saw her had to respectfully call her "general"; Later, she was named the lord of Tai'an, and no one called her "Miss" anymore.
This is certainly not talking to her!
She was about to speak, but the maid was already sighing and chattering to herself: "Miss, it's not the slave who wants to say you, the eldest lady is no longer there, our master and servant are weak, and we can't win the lady and the eldest lady, and the marriage contract with the Wen family is a disaster for the young lady, so don't want it." If you don't listen, you have to fight, and you put your life into it for no reason. Yesterday, I was hit by Young Master Wen's horse on the street and almost lost my breath, why bother? β
Breathe oneβs last?
Pei Xie Tang was stunned, she drank the imperial wine, it stands to reason that she should have lost her breath a long time ago, how could she still stand here alive?
No, what's wrong!
The fierce tremor spread from his heart to his limbs, Pei Xie Tang almost uncontrollably threw himself to the window, and pushed it violently, the old window curtain broke and fell to the ground, and the fragrance of flowers on the periphery clearly entered his mouth and nose.
