Chapter 221: The capital offense of beheading
Chapter 221: The capital offense of beheading
Obviously, even Xuanyue guessed that today's things are not as simple as they seem. On the surface, this incident is a very simple revenge incident. She killed the prime minister's son, so the prime minister's mansion spared no effort to arrest her, but she soon found out that things were not simple. It seems that this matter is no longer just about arresting the murderer, but has gradually evolved into an intrigue between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Cao family.
In the political struggle, Xuanyue has always been very resistant.
In her previous life, she was an agent killer, and in professional terms, a spy! Perform dangerous missions such as stealing secrets, assassinating and protecting the target. Whether it's the people who hire her, or the enemies she's dealing with, most of them are politicians. Even if you are not a politician, you are a rich businessman, an arms smuggler, a drug dealer...... In the end, it will also have some overt or implicit relationships with the political bus.
Xuanyue is used to seeing the intrigues and open and secret battles of those politicians, and she prefers direct killing, which is so painful and dripping. She never wanted to get involved in those dark and complicated officialdom struggles, she didn't want to, and she didn't want to. By the time she saw the situation clearly, she had already regretted it a little. I knew that I shouldn't have taken care of this matter, and it was easier to directly escort Ye Caicheng out of the capital! But think about it, Ye Caicheng may not be willing to leave the capital, even if he has become a murderer from the first merry scholar in the capital, he never seems to want to leave the capital. This guy is also quite strange, is he so nostalgic for those fireworks girls in the capital?
The appearance of the Divine Decree became a very shocking change! No one expected that Liu Haoran would still have this hand.
With a triumphant expression, he looked at Cao Haotian, raised the holy decree in his hand, and said, "Everyone kneel down for me to accept the decree!" ”
Cao Haotian scolded angrily: "The fox is a fake tiger! You have a fart to let go quickly, less cold people here! ”
He didn't give Liu Haoran face at all, and even some didn't give face to the holy decree. It's just that he knows that in front of the holy decree, he is still not qualified to shout, and although his attitude is a little arrogant, he still kneels down to accept the decree. He glared at Liu Haoran viciously, and said secretly in his heart: Lao Tzu is not kneeling for you, he is kneeling for the holy decree!
Liu Haoran read the holy decree aloud, to the effect that the emperor personally ordered the Criminal Department to arrest the suspect who killed Liu Feizhou, and anyone who obstructed the handling of the case would be severely punished.
The content of the decree is very empty, and even the attitude is a little less forceful. However, the holy decree is the holy decree, and Liu Haoran holding the holy decree in his hand is equivalent to holding the sword of Shang Fang! At this time, Cao Haotian didn't dare to be arrogant anymore no matter what!
Just now, he dared to confront Liu Haoran, and that was because the confrontation between them represented the confrontation between the Shangshu Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion!
But now, if he still wants to interfere, it will become a confrontation between Shangshufu and the emperor!
Disobeying the holy decree is a capital offense!
It's the sin of destroying the door!
Although Cao Haotian is a muddy person, he also knows the severity.
He looked at Ye Caicheng and Ye Shura helplessly, shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious. I'm sorry you two, I've done everything I can do, they've moved out the decree, and I can't help you anymore from now on.
Ye Caicheng looked dejected, he was a person who read poetry and books, and naturally understood better than Cao Haotian what Liu Haoran represented by holding the holy decree, he knew that he was dead today, even if the gods came, they couldn't save his life.
Xuanyue was also a little indifferent, whether there was a holy decree or not, she didn't care.
Although the four ninth-order masters on the other side had been eyeing her with their breaths, she was not worried. One against four, she knows that she doesn't have this kind of arrogant capital, but if she wants to escape, she believes that these people will definitely not be able to stop her. She was just a little worried about Ye Caicheng, from the beginning, she was just worried about Ye Caicheng. She didn't know why she cared so much about this flowery carrot, and when did she become so kind and compassionate?
Liu Haoran showed his arrogance and pride on his face vividly, and the horizontal flesh on his face was almost distorted with laughter: "Gongzi Cao, it seems that there is nothing to do with you today!" However, if you want to keep the mess going, I'm definitely welcome, not only are you welcome, but I'm going to admire your guts! ”
"Humph!"
Cao Haotian sneered and did not speak. Whatever he says now, he will only become a laughing stock! He secretly said in his heart: You bastard, you remember Lao Tzu! Don't fall into my hands next time, and you'll know how to write dead words then!
Liu Haoran was also in the limelight, and suddenly said seriously: "Someone!" If you resist the two prisoners, you will be killed! Anyone who dares to disobey the holy decree and obstruct the handling of the case will be killed! He deliberately emphasized the two words of the holy decree very loudly, and then secretly glanced at Cao Haotian who was huffing, looking at him very unconvinced and helpless, he really felt comfortable in his heart! ”
"Chunxiang Mansion is so lively today?"
Suddenly, a cold sound came from a distance!
"Brother!"
Cao Haotian saw someone coming and shouted!
The person who came was none other than his brother Cao Haokong! Although the household servant of the current imperial court is a small official, but because he is the son of Cao Shangshu, and he is thoughtful and vicious, he is already a general second only to Cao Shangshu in the officialdom of the capital!
The surrounding soldiers got out of the way, and Cao Haokong walked in slowly, he came alone, dressed as a civil official, and his figure was not burly, but the kind of momentum that could make people feel shocked as soon as he appeared on the stage was not comparable to Cao Haotian.
"It turned out to be Cao Shilang! What kind of wind is blowing Cao Shangshu's two sons today! Liu Haoran laughed, he didn't expect that he was so lucky today that he would let the two sons of the Cao family fall into his hands!
"What's your name?"
Cao Haokong asked lightly.
Cao Haotian said: "Brother, his name is Liu Haoran, he is Prime Minister Liu Cheng's cousin, and he is a useless little person!" ”
Cao Haokong smiled faintly: "Second brother, you still don't grow up like this!" I've told you a long time ago, don't underestimate anyone! Even if it's a useless little person, as long as he holds the holy decree in his hand, he can make some waves! Isn't there a phrase called something? Does the villain have a will? ”
"Haha! Brother, you're so right! Cao Haotian laughed, and the depression in his heart was vented all of a sudden.
Liu Haoran said with an ugly face: "Cao Shilang, today I was ordered to arrest the murder suspect, there is a holy purpose for this, do you want to interfere with the handling of the case?" ”
Cao Hao said emptyly: "Holy decree? When the holy decree comes, it is equivalent to the emperor's presence in person, how dare I, a little squire, disobey the holy decree? ”
"I don't dare! Get out of the way! ”
"Wait!"
"What else do you want to do?" Liu Haoran looked at Cao Haokong vigilantly, and he felt a little uneasy. He has heard of Cao Haokong's methods, this person is not easy to deal with, I don't know what the hell he is going to do today?
