Chapter 20: Questioning and Beheading
"Ask about the chop?!" Wang Xu exclaimed.
At this time, he was being interrogated by the cat master in a dark cell, and the other party told him that he would be publicly executed at noon the day after tomorrow.
"Don't panic, I'll keep you from dying."
"Be specific! This is no joke. ”
The cat master said impatiently: "Oh, what do you have to worry about, don't forget that the ruler of this world is Shang Lingxue, even if my method doesn't work, she will definitely not let you die." ”
"Then what is your solution...... Wang Xu still didn't believe him.
"It's very simple, do you know what the Myojin Sect has spent the most time on in this life?"
Wang Xu's expression changed: "Could it be ......?"
"Of course not, you're still a history department, but you only have such dirty thoughts in your head."
"Hey! I haven't said anything yet! ”
The cat master ignored his defense: "Let me teach you a lesson, Zhu Yijun, the emperor, the biggest hobby in his life is cultivation, as long as I go to report it at that time, saying that you are a person from the Xuanmen, and your mana is not small, maybe you can help him become an immortal or something, then your life will basically be saved." ”
"Then why don't you go and report it now......"
Mao Ye sneered: "This is not good, you must go to the execution ground, so that we can leave this dream world quickly." ”
"Is there any necessary connection between the two?"
"Of course there is, but I can't tell you that......"
An ominous premonition rose in Wang Xu's heart: "Then how many ...... can you tell me?"
Mao Ye thought for a while and began to narrate: "This time the incident of Zhao Du and the two Shangshu sons has come to an end, which is equivalent to the emperor sending a signal, and everyone in the officialdom understands that the good days of these two Shangshu are over, and they have lost power.
From a political point of view, once you lose the support of the emperor, you have to keep a low profile, you can't talk too much when you go to court, you don't speak by name, your words are not too sharp, and your views are not too clear; Nod your head to your friends, and nod your head to your enemies; When the limelight passes, find an opportunity to resign and return to your hometown to farm, maybe you can save your life. And if they still want to do something desperate, they may have to accelerate their withdrawal from the political scene......
In short, their fall is only a matter of time, and after these two sworn enemies Shangshu are finished, they will immediately involve the struggle between multiple parties, including the harem, the cabinet, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, etc., and the conflict of interests between various forces is inevitable.
Then, when everyone pays attention to this incident, some forces that oppose the imperial court will wait for an opportunity, such as the Hundred Flowers Society......"
Wang Xu asked, "Cut...... Isn't it just stealing the holy decree, what kind of action can it be, and it is not as bad as the impact caused by me setting fires everywhere. ”
"It's not stealing the holy decree, Yu Xin is lying to you, the real purpose is to leave a message."
"What message?"
The cat master raised his head and said: "The bell of the Gion Essence House is ringing, echoing all things impermanently, and the Shara Twin Trees have changed their faces, signaling that we are rampant. ”
Wang Xu was just about to speak, but the cat master continued: "I guess I can't understand your expression, so I don't bother to explain to you, anyway, every time Baihua wants to kill a high-ranking official in the court, it will leave such a poem." In the past, they all stayed in the mansions of those officials, and no matter how much that person strengthened his defense, he would die in the end.
And this time, the poem was written in the emperor's study......"
Wang Xu laughed dryly: "Isn't it so arrogant? ”
"It's so arrogant, and you are their accomplice, I will try you today, you still resist to the death, stubbornly resist to the end, and prepare to die for the righteous ......"
"Hey...... You're exposed! Actually, it's up to you to decide what to do with it! You obviously haven't finished the trial yet, so you told me to ask the day after tomorrow? ”
The cat master yawned: "Because before I came in, I had already decided to kill you the day after tomorrow, no matter what you tell me, I plan to play the emperor like this after I go out." ”
"Jailer, Big Brother! Uncle sweeping the floor! There's no one for that! I want a confession! ”
"Don't complain, when you get to the execution ground, you will understand everything." After the cat master finished speaking, he left the cell, leaving Wang Xu alone to cry and howl wolves.
…………
The next day, the notice that Wang Xu was about to be beheaded was pasted all over the city, and the cat master did things very thoroughly, not only did this notice have a time and place, but also attached a portrait of Wang Xu, as if he was afraid that others would not know what this chaotic party looked like.
And this time, the supervisor was actually that Liu Hang Liu, and I don't know whose arrangement it was, anyway, this matter was also written on the notice......
In fact, the purpose of the cat master's move is also obvious, it is like publishing a leaflet throughout the city, which reads: "This is all the basic information of the execution, please come to the robbery field." ”
Everything has become clear, and the cat knows that this world is about to end in this incident......
