Chapter 445: Execution
At this moment, I don't know who it was, I suddenly asked softly.
"Master Fan, it seems that your family is going to be executed today, don't you want to take a look?"
The person who asked the question was also kind.
He was afraid that Fan Qiu would forget the day, and he wouldn't even be able to see his family in the back.
He thought that Fan Qiu didn't know, so he wanted to remind him.
When Fan Qiu heard this, his whole body trembled violently, and his eyes suddenly filled with tears, and his eyes were blood-red.
In fact, he doesn't need to be reminded by the other party, he also knows the day.
However, he deliberately forgot about this day, because he really did not want to see his wife and children beheaded.
Since he couldn't see it, he could only hide, he forcibly forgot that his wife and children were going to be beheaded today, and chose to continue his great cause of opening the sea ban.
Fan Qiu's expression was a little sluggish, and he squeezed out an ugly smile, and said with a forced smile: "Since it is already a doomed result, what is the use of going to see it?" ”
Fan Qiu said and turned to leave.
He is going to continue to agitate the students of Guozijian and parade through the streets.
The people who stayed behind in the Hanlin Academy looked at the back of Fan Qiu leaving, and they all sighed.
There was a hint of pity in their eyes when they looked at Fan Qiu.
Is it that Fan Qiu doesn't love his wife and children?
No, it was a great pain, but he couldn't save his wife and children, so he simply didn't look at it.
In such an environment, Fan Qiu can still encourage the students of Guozijian to parade through the streets, what kind of powerful mentality is this?
This also made the people of the Hanlin Academy firm their inner thoughts!
……
On the execution ground.
Today's execution, Zhu Zhanji also came.
He counted the days and knew that Fan Qiu's family would be executed today.
The three bigwigs needed to squeeze in alone, but Zhu Zhanji had a brocade guard to open the way, and he didn't need to squeeze, so he walked directly to the front.
Obviously, Zhu Zhanji saw the three bigwigs.
The three bigwigs also saw Zhu Zhanji.
The two parties automatically gathered together.
After the three bigwigs finished saluting, they asked Zhu Zhanji why he came here.
Zhu Zhanji spoke: "I came here to save Fan Qiu's family. ”
"He does things for the court, and the court can't chill his heart."
"Even if there is no clear evidence today, I will save them."
There was a hint of admiration in Jian Yi's eyes.
His Royal Highness Taisun is affectionate and righteous, so that the three big men are very happy to listen.
However, Jian Yi laughed again: "Your Royal Highness, I don't need you to come forward in person." ”
Zhu Zhanji was surprised: "Why? ”
Jian Yi smiled and said: "The three of us will come forward, if Your Royal Highness Taisun violates the law, you will be criticized." ”
Zhu Zhanji glanced at the three bigwigs, felt a little relieved in his heart, and nodded: "Then thank you three." ”
It's getting closer and closer to the time of asking.
Soon, when the time came to noon, the official of the Criminal Department directly threw out a question card in his hand, and shouted: "Execution!" ”
At noon, it was a good time for execution.
The two shirtless executioners immediately pressed Fan Qiu's wife and children to the chopping board, and their heads were attached to the wooden chopping board, so that they could not move.
Afterwards, the two executioners took a sip of wine.
The wine squirted out and sprayed on the dangling broadsword.
The broadsword is long and wide, and it is used specifically to cut off people's heads.
Inexplicable fear surged into everyone's hearts.
The people were a little afraid to look at it.
However, the brave ones are still watching, but their eyes are full of regret.
"It's finally time to be executed."
"Hey, they're supposed to be good people."
"I don't think this lady looks like a snarky person, and that son has a strong backbone."
These voices reached the ears of Fan Qiu's wife and children, although they were a little noisy, but at least they could be heard.
It is enough to get such an evaluation from the people, to know that they may have been wronged.
Fan Qiu's wife, at this most critical moment, closed her eyes.
Fan Qiu's son also closed his eyes and was willing to wait for death.
Soon, their heads will be cut off.
The official of the Criminal Department sat on a chair, looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Do you have any last words?" ”
The two did not reply.
The official of the Criminal Department waved his hand: "Execution!" ”
The two executioners raised their broadswords, and under the scorching sun, the cold light of the broadswords shone with a hint of murderous aura, revealing them.
They would use all their strength to cut off the prisoner's head, and if they couldn't do it at once, it would take two blows.
When the two big swords were raised high, the onlookers suddenly exclaimed, and some of the timid ones didn't dare to look at it, so they covered their eyes, and they were sincerely afraid.
Jian Yi's expression sank: "Lord Yang, it's your turn." ”
Yang Shiqi was about to shout, but at this moment, outside the crowd, there was a sudden shout.
"Keep people under the knife, keep people under the knife!"
Voices came from afar.
When the people were surprised, they turned around and looked in the direction of the place where the sound had originated.
A horse-drawn carriage came from a distance in a hurry.
The wheels are rolling, and it seems to be from the same and urgent.
The executioner's broadsword, raised high, also stopped for a moment.
They looked at the carriage not far away.
Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi also turned around and looked over.
Surprised, the official of the criminal department stood up, stared at the carriage, and waited quietly.
If the official stops him, he can stop it in time, and if someone makes trouble, he has to arrest the people in the carriage and go to the punishment department.
The carriage came to a stop.
Soon, the curtain was lifted, and out of it came a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe, who had a high temperament and the pride of a scholar in his eyes.
At the same time, he looked at the mother and son who were sticking their heads on the chopping board, snorted coldly, and shouted: "I never believe that Bachelor Fan's wife and children will be corrupt and bend the law, release them quickly, I want to enter the palace to face the saint!" ”
When the shouts came, the eyes of the people around lit up and they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the wife and children might be saved.
As soon as he looks at people, he has an extraordinary temperament, and his identity is also extraordinary.
Seeing that the other party was full of anger, the official of the Criminal Department couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask you who ...... are"
"Shandong Guo Qing!" He stood in the carriage and said in a deep voice.
The voice fell, and the surroundings were in an uproar.
"It turns out that he is the Shandong Confucian who cooperated with Scholar Yu to burn down the granary of Qingzhou."
"It's him."
"Guo Daru, I've seen Guo Daru."
In the hearts of the people, Guo Qing is loved.
Although he has no fame, the crown prince has asked him to be an official several times, but he has never come.
And as a great Confucian from all over the world, he has the right to enter the palace and face the saints.
Coupled with the fact that he burned the granary, the court also owed him a huge favor.
Guo Qing snorted coldly: "Release people!" ”
Why is Guo Qing so aggressive? Because he saw that Bachelor Fan's wife and children were insulted, and he saw that the criminal department was so unfair!
Therefore, a wave of anger swelled up in his instinctive heart, and he was very unhappy.
"It turned out to be Guo Daru." The officials of the Criminal Department hurriedly saluted the other party.
But just one Guo Daru didn't seem to be enough to stop him from being executed, so he stubbornly said: "Guo Daru, this is the rule of the imperial court, how can a prisoner be released before he is cleared of his crimes." ”
Guo Qing's face was cold: "When I come out of the palace, you won't be too late." ”
The official of the Criminal Department looked embarrassed: "Guo Daru, this ......"
