Chapter 253: Capital Punishment
Dean took in the appearance of all the people in the hall one by one.
"You don't need to be alarmed, the emperor sent his servants to explain to you. With that, he gave the marquis a meaningful look, and the latter bowed slightly, and then raised his hand to the guard holding the prisoner, and immediately, the well-trained imperial guard removed the black sack from the prisoner's head, and forced him to kowtow to his head.
Concubine Xiao was already worried, but when she saw the person's face, her face was even more pale, her red lips trembled slightly, and she completely lost her dignity and elegance.
Xue Hainiang took Xiao Guifei's appearance into her eyes, lowered her head and pursed her lips silently.
There is no doubt that the prisoner who was escorted in by the chief of the guard, Feng Hou, was Shen Sande, who had infiltrated the Foguang Temple in the past and tried to tarnish Liang Bairou's innocence.
De'an stood aside and explained, "The emperor let you take a look. β
As soon as the words fell, two more imperial doctors walked in.
With a medical kit on his back, his head bowed, and he looked trembling.
"Let's get started. Dean gave an order.
The two imperial doctors took a deep breath, withstood the pressure of a thousand pounds in their hearts, took out a knife as thin as a silkworm piece from the medicine box they carried, and trembled towards Shen Sande, who was forcibly put on a black sack again.
cover their faces, cover their eyes. It makes people endure the pain of cutting their flesh in the dark, and then slowly die. It can be said that it is not one of the capital punishments.
The first knife started from the left side, landed on Shen Sande's left arm, and the knife entered the meat for three points, and then raised his hand, it was already a piece of meat, and the guards were ready to present it to the tray, and the imperial doctor put the bloody piece on the tray.
What is unbelievable is that the body that was imprisoned by the guards on the left and right, except for shaking violently, could not hear a scream.
The second knife started from the right side and landed on Shen Sande's right arm, and the imperial doctor easily fell and slashed, accompanied by Shen Sande's violent struggle, and a piece of red fell into the tray, filled with a disgusting rust aura.
There is no shortage of immature, compassionate and kind twenty-eight girls in the palace, although they have not been fortunate by the emperor, but because of this Nanjiuxi oral edict spread throughout the six palaces, they can only be present.
Seeing this scene, some people couldn't help but bend over and vomit, and the whisperers continued, but no one dared to beak the scene in front of them.
Dean watched coldly, as if he was completely outside the bloody scene, stepping on a pure land.
When the tortured man stopped moving, and his body was frozen and bloodied on the ground, De'an ordered to end it all with that indifferent voice.
Shen Sande was dragged down, and blood flowed down the bluestone slab.
Concubine Xiao Guifei didn't say a word from beginning to end, until Shen Sande was dragged out of the Qiankun Palace, and after the palace people who came with him cleaned up the bloodstains, she took a sip of tea to ease her ups and downs, "Father-in-law De'an, I don't know what the emperor means?"
De'an smiled and said: "Please ask the concubine and the little lord to wait a while, the emperor will come over after he is busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty." β
So that no one dared to object.
By the time Nan Jiuxi's loud voice sounded, it was already a quarter of an hour later.
"I don't know what I think of this play that I specially arranged today, what do you concubines think?"
Xue Hainiang only caught a glimpse of a bright gold embroidered auspicious cloud Jiaolong robe out of the corner of her eye, and then someone knelt down and shouted on her side, so she had to bow her head and raise her head: "Long live my emperor, long live long live my emperor." β
Nan Jiuxi didn't call everyone to get up, but only walked towards Concubine Xiao Guifei, who was bending her knees to ask for peace, and when she stood in front of her, she laughed loudly: "Get up." β
Concubine Xiao got up and smiled on her back, "The concubine is waiting and looking forward to it, but it can be regarded as looking forward to you, the emperorββ"
Nan Jiuxi didn't pick up the stubble, her thin and slender lips rose slightly, "I don't know if I ordered De'an to put up this play, can Concubine Ai be happy?"
Xiao Guifei twisted her eyebrows lightly, her disgust was overflowing, but it was not called evil, and she said coquettishly: "There is blood all over the place, and the smell can't be removed even if the concubine ordered people to place flowers here day and night, do you say the concubine is happy?"
Nan Jiuxi ignored it, turned his head sideways and glanced at Xue Hainiang, "Can you let your masters see that person's appearance." β
Xue Hainiang was slightly stunned, the sight from afar was very coercive and cold, it was really difficult to ignore, Rao is now she lowered her head, still perceiving, "Back to the emperor, when Shen Sande first came in, the elder guard had already taken off the sack on his head, but when he was executed, he put the sack back on it in order to prevent Shen Sande's face from being too hideous and scaring the nobles." β
Nan Jiuxi's handsome face flashed a little sinister smile, which made Xiao Guifei inexplicably stunned.
She and Nan Jiuxi have known each other for several years, and they both know each other too well.
Nan Jiuxi is uncertain, if he leaves, his joy and anger are invisible, but with Xiao Guifei's speculation about his temperament, once Nan Jiuxi shows such a smile......
Sure enough, Nan Jiuxi's focus never left Xiao Guifei.
After asking Xue Hainiang, his eyes fell on Xiao Guifei, and he said: "The concubine has also seen it clearly, so why did I want to punish him with capital punishment in front of the concubine?"
No matter how unwilling Concubine Xiao is to face the reality, she knows at this moment that the emperor is afraid that he has already understood everything.
Her knees were weak, if it weren't for the flowers on her side, Xiao Guifei almost stood unsteadily, and she was frightened, she said: "Yes, it was the concubine's lax rule that made this person blend in with the palace people, and asked the emperor to punish him." β
She was not a stupid person, and she knew that the guilt of lax governance was far less severe than the guilt of murdering a concubine.
"Isn't the rule strict? huh...... The concubine's lax rule caused her subordinates to have such a sin and deserve death, and they dared to sneak into my imperial study to steal. Nan Jiuxi seemed to be smiling, but the penetrating power of the evil phoenix eyes made Xiao Guifei no longer able to hold the posture.
Xiao Guifei looked up in a daze and stared at the extremely familiar handsome face in front of her, trying to see a trace of the relative restraint of the past from the natural affectionate phoenix eyes.
"Feng Hou, bring the concubine into the inner hall, without my will, you are not allowed to go out of the palace gate without permission, and the people in the harem are not allowed to visit without being called. Nan Jiuxi turned his head sideways, and a faint line appeared between his eyebrows, but he did not hesitate to give the person behind him a look.
After the order, Nan Jiuxi did not want to delay here any longer, and immediately brushed his sleeves and left.
Xue Hainiang glanced at De'an quickly, and saw that he was following closely with his steps, so he also lowered his head and followed behind De'an, and before leaving the front hall, he didn't forget to quietly glance sideways at Liang Bairou, who was a little restless.
In the huge Qiankun Palace, only a group of leaderless concubines were left uneasy.
There was no rumor about Shen Sande's matter before, but now this person was punished for no reason, and in front of many concubines, the harem has different opinions, and people are panicking.
