Sapphire's offer was not excessive.

Because according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the standard of the severed head meal for a condemned prisoner is one or two silver, which is enough to put a small table on the table.

Therefore, Lan Yu only needs a plate of boiled shrimp in salt water, which can save a lot of money for the imperial court.

Jiang Xuan quickly ordered someone to prepare prawns, and at the same time prepared a decapitated meal for others.

There are a lot of people to be killed this time, there are hundreds of people with names and surnames, and there are even more people who have no name, what Zhang Wang's family, basket Zhang family, etc., all of them will reach more than 1,200 people.

However, this is still the result of Lao Zhu Caocao's closing of the case and not giving Jiang Xuan too much time to make a big deal.

If it were to be replaced by a blue jade case from another time and space, the number would have to multiply tenfold and then turn around.

Jiang Zhen went straight out of the cell after asking Lan Yu, as for the other people's decapitated meals, he didn't care about them, they ate whatever they liked, and their own cell bosses were waiting for them.

The next morning, the cell boss gave a guillotine to each of the cells.

Many people just whined and cried when they saw the severed head meal, without the slightest appetite.

Relatively speaking, the generals of the Lanyu party were quite free, and everyone ate meat and drank a lot of wine.

After eating a plate of hand-peeled prawns and drinking a pot of wine, Lan Yu lay down on the haystack and pretended to sleep, waiting for the Jinyi Guard's men to take him to the execution ground.

Around the end of the day, hundreds of brocade guards walked into the cell, and they opened the cells one by one to verify their identity, and put signs on the back of each person's neck.

Lan Yu also suffered the same treatment, but the little soldier's movements were relatively gentle, and he did not scold him.

Lan Yu followed everyone out of the cell, and was suddenly stimulated by the bright light outside, but he still squinted greedily at the sun overhead, feeling the last warmth.

"It's over!"

After Lan Yu said this, he resolutely walked into the prisoner car, and was surrounded by a group of brocade guards and went to the noon gate.

When the people of the capital heard that more than 1,000 people were going to be killed today, they had already run over to see the excitement, blocking the square outside the noon gate to the brim.

Lan Yu stood in the prisoner cart and looked at the people on both sides, thinking that his return after his great victory in fishing was also such an unprecedented scene.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, before his execution, it was the same scene again.

Lan Yu glanced at the crowd a few times, and found that there were not many acquaintances, so he began to look ahead without squinting.

The road ahead was wide, and everyone was desperately backing up, as if they were afraid of being touched by the bad luck of the prisoner car.

Lan Yu looked at the spacious road, and suddenly had a question in his heart, how did he walk the road so narrowly and walk to the broken road?

Arrogant?

Arrogant?

Greedy?

He is indeed quite arrogant, especially after the battle of Yuerhai, he didn't even pay attention to Fu Youde and Feng Sheng.

Fortunately, Fu Youde is a good man and never cares about himself. Although Feng Sheng has a short temper, he is also a big man, and he has never targeted himself too much.

As for greed......

Which general is not greedy?

If the generals are neither greedy for money nor lustful, and the rewards are distributed to the soldiers under them, wouldn't the Zhu butcher be even more sleepless?

After thinking about it, Lan Yu felt that his only mistake was arrogance. But he has such a stinky temper, if he is polite, then is he still a blue jade?

Alas!

If there is an afterlife, it is especially inappropriate!

It's too hard to be human!

When Lan Yu looked at the crowd around him, the crowd around him was also looking at him.

"Hey, isn't this General Lan?"

"Some time ago, the imperial court held a triumphant celebration for General Lan, why did he commit an accident so quickly?"

"It's said to be a rebellion!"

"Rebellion?"

"Impossible, right?"

"General Lan is the uncle of the emperor's grandson, why did he rebel......"

A few people were talking about this, and suddenly someone asked.

"Are you still throwing away the rotten eggs you prepared in advance?"

Several people looked at the do-gooder in unison, and then shook their heads.

"Save some, what if General Lan turns into a ghost and looks for you......"

When the do-good man heard this, he hurried and threw the rotten egg into the gutter, and never said anything about it.

Like a pioneer, Lan Yu used his prestige to scare all the onlookers, saving himself and those behind him from an unwarranted disaster.

After a short time, they were brought to the execution table, on which each knelt in turn, waiting for the executioner's orders.

However, to Lan Yu's surprise, the position of executioner turned out to be vacant.

Just when he was in doubt, there was a sound of gongs opening the way.

"The emperor has arrived!"

"All the officers and soldiers and the people are waiting to kneel and greet you!"

As soon as the common people heard that the emperor had arrived, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and waited to kowtow, and then shouted long live with the slogans of the others.

The emperor personally supervised the beheading, this is not a common thing!

When Lan Yu heard that Lao Zhu personally came to supervise and behead him, he also felt quite embarrassed, and turned his neck with difficulty to look over.

Lao Zhu is still in good spirits, and he walks as if he is carrying the wind. When passing by the execution platform, he also deliberately glanced at Lan Yu kneeling on the platform, with a trace of coldness and disdain in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lan Yu rolled his eyes back, thinking that at this time, this Zhu butcher was unwilling to give himself a good face?

Lao Zhu sat in the position of the executioner, looking at the sundial placed on the side and looking at the lottery holder.

Once it was three o'clock in the afternoon, he would throw the sticks in the holder to the ground and announce the official execution!

However, there is a more important thing in between, and that is to verify the identity of everyone.

"Let's get started!"

"No!"

When Jin Yiwei got the order, he immediately walked in front of Lao Zhu with one prisoner after another, Lao Zhu held a list prepared in advance, and every time he saw a familiar person, he crossed out a person's name on it.

This is the purpose of his personal beheading, to prevent others from deceiving and replacing them with other death row prisoners!

Lan Yu also saw Lao Zhu's intentions, and she was even more disdainful of Lao Zhu in her heart.

It's just that this old man doesn't trust himself, doesn't he even trust the brocade guard he formed?

Fortunately, he still trusts our nephew, which makes us feel a lot more at ease.

Otherwise, if you really do a ghost, you won't let this old butcher go!

Lan Yu thought of her nephew and grandson, and sighed in her heart.

What a good child, why was he born in Lao Zhu's family and became a grandson of his Zhu butcher......

After Lao Zhu identified all the key people, he sat down honestly and waited for the arrival of three o'clock in the afternoon.

On both sides of Lao Zhu were the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, and they were also captured by Lao Zhu to watch the ceremony. Behind the vassal kings were the officials of the imperial court and the generals and nobles who were not implicated.

If the Lanyu party is a "chicken", then they are naturally the "monkeys" in killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Lao Zhu attaches great importance to on-site education, and every time he kills corrupt officials and rebellious ministers, he will attract a large group of officials to watch and let them take warning.

At this time, the civil officials looked at the tragic situation of Lan Yu and his party, and instead of clamoring for impeachment, they gave birth to sympathy and sympathy.

It was the Blue Jade party that was killed today, so it might be his turn tomorrow.

After all, Hu Weiyong's case has not stopped being implicated for more than ten years, and I still hear from time to time that someone was involved in the Hu Dang case and was killed.

And what about the Blue Party case?

Will it also be implicated for more than ten years?

Everyone looked at Lao Zhu's back, looked at Lao Zhu's white hair, and felt a little more relaxed.

At His Majesty's age, it shouldn't be more than ten years old......

When Lao Zhu was squinting his eyes to recuperate, he suddenly saw a brocade-clothed guard running over and whispering a few words in his ear.

"What!"

"Then the rebel grandson is back?"

"Hurry up, order someone to block us, don't let him enter the city!"

"No!"

Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi ran away, and the vassal kings sitting next to Lao Zhu, as well as the officials behind him, were alive in their hearts.

There is only one rebel grandson in the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor, and that is the grandson of the emperor.

In other words, the only person His Majesty the Ming Emperor is afraid of is probably only this imperial grandson.

Because the emperor's grandson really dared to scare the old emperor, and he really dared to take the old emperor's words as a deaf ear!

However, the old emperor was still reluctant to impose heavy penalties, which further contributed to the arrogance of the imperial grandson.

Zhu Li has a good personal relationship with Lan Yu, and he can't bear to see Lan Yu die unjustly. Therefore, when I heard the news of the return of my eldest nephew, I immediately couldn't sit still.

"Father, son came up with a ......"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he suddenly felt impatient in his heart. However, just when he was thinking about it, he suddenly thought of something, and then said to his son viciously.

"Then pull your pants!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Li was stupid when he heard this, and he said in his heart that he was pretending to be so unlike, and he was discovered by his father as soon as he opened his mouth?

Zhu Rong, who was sitting next to Zhu Li, laughed heartlessly when he saw the third brother's deflated appearance.

However, Lao Zhu heard his laughter and hurriedly turned around and glared at him viciously.

Seeing the old man's threatening eyes, Zhu Fan hurriedly pulled his head down, but his shoulders twitched, obviously holding back a smile and holding back his smile.

When Zhu Di heard the news of Zhu Yunxi's return, his brows tightened on the spot.

He is the last person who wants his eldest nephew to return.

If he had a choice, he hoped that his eldest nephew would never come back!

Although Lan Yu couldn't hear what Lao Zhu said, he saw that Lao Zhu's face had changed greatly, and he vaguely guessed something.

Could it be that our niece and grandson are back?

Thinking of this, Lan Yu instinctively gave birth to a trace of hope in his heart, a trace of hope for life.

However, reason soon prevailed, making him realize that this was not good for his nephew.

If his nephew did not stop His Majesty the Emperor, his prestige would have been damaged.

If his nephew Sun stopped His Majesty the Emperor, then Zhu Butcher would inevitably be angry with him.

Either of these possibilities is very bad for the nephew.

Thinking of this, Lan Yu looked at the prison slashing platform defiantly, and shouted in the direction of Lao Zhu.

"Zhu Butcher, you kill me quickly, Lao Tzu has had enough of it!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he became angry, and he picked up the life and death sign and was about to throw it on the ground.

However, at this moment, he saw the decisive look in Lan Yu's eyes, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

This old thing must have guessed that our eldest grandson was coming back, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for our eldest grandson to do it, so he deliberately provoked us!

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu stretched out his thumb to Lan Yu.

Lan Yu saw Lao Zhu's outstretched thumb, and a childlike innocent smile appeared on her face.

He has been living in the shadow of Lao Zhu all his life, and has always longed for Lao Zhu's affirmation.

It's just that he never thought that it wasn't until he was dying that the stingy Zhu butcher gave him a thumbs up.

"Superior!"

"Blue Jade ...... go"

After Lan Yu shouted these words, he stretched out his neck and lay on the stone pier in front of him, assuming a posture of killing with his neck.

When Lao Zhu saw this scene, his eyes suddenly moistened.

Lan Yu was younger than him and Chang Yuchun, more than ten years younger, and they had always treated him like a younger brother in the early years.

Lao Zhu thought that Lan Yu had been like a fart, pestering himself and his brother-in-law often in spring, and he felt an unspeakable reluctance in his heart.

Lan Yu used to be a good boy......

It's just that why is he always unsatisfied, and always wants to challenge our authority?

We can't leave a scourge for the eldest grandson!

We can't!

Lao Zhu closed his eyes in pain, and as his eyes closed, a life and death sticker painted with red paint slipped off.

"Your Majesty has a will!"

"Slash!"

Hearing this, the executioner picked up the wine bowl, took a big sip of wine, and sprayed it on the body of the tiger's head knife.

"Master Lan!"

"Mark offended, after you get over there, mark down the current year's festival to worship, so that you won't have a short mouth!"

Lan Yu smiled when she heard this.

"Just give us a good time, the New Year's filial piety is still left to buy two catties of meat for the children in the family!"

"No!"

The executioner grasped the hilt of the knife, and after adjusting his breath, he shouted "ah" and slashed down with the tiger's head knife in his hand.

However, just as he was halfway through the cut, he suddenly heard a loud "boom" from the south, followed by a tremor from the ground, shaking him and the death row prisoner off the platform.

The people on both sides were even more frightened and ran away.

The vassal kings and officials were not having a good time, and their faces were bloodied with the loud noise and the tremors of the ground, and the timid even broke away from the ranks and ran wildly towards the open space.

Lao Zhu was also choked by the aftermath of the earthquake, holding on to the shaking table with his hand, and looking in the direction of the south with a face full of disbelief.

After standing firmly, Zhu Li hurriedly ran to his father's side and vigorously supported his father.

"Father, are you alright?"

Lao Zhu straightened his crown and roared angrily.

"What's going on!"

"But the earth dragon turned over?"

"I don't know......"

While the two were talking, several soldiers ran from the direction of the city gate, shouting as they ran.

"The imperial grandson is attacking the city!"

"The imperial grandson has come in!"

"What?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he sat on the chair, staring at his big round eyes, and his face was full of incomprehension.

Zhu Li was secretly relieved while being frightened, his eldest nephew was really powerful, and he even dared to bombard the gate of the capital, but he was much bolder than his uncle.

When the other vassal kings and civil and military officials heard this, their faces were full of incredulity.

This is the capital!

Was the capital breached, or was it broken by the grandson of the Ming Emperor?

Just when everyone was frightened, Zhu Yunxi rode a fast horse and rushed over with hundreds of guards behind him.

Zhu Yunxi was secretly relieved when he saw that although there was chaos on the court, no one had been beheaded.

OK!

I finally came back in time!

Zhu Yunxi personally dismounted and walked to the execution ground and helped Lan Yu up from the ground.

"Uncle is suffering!"

Lan Yu couldn't hold back anymore when she heard this, and leaned her face on her nephew's shoulder and cried.

"The minister was wronged...... The minister really didn't want to rebel, woo woo woo ......"

"Believe in you!"

However, when Zhu Yunxi was about to intercede for him, Lan Yu stopped Zhu Yunxi again.

"Yunxi, don't bother with it, your imperial grandfather didn't kill me because of this......"

"Let's go, just as if you never came back......"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Lan Yu's unkempt hair and old face, and nodded heavily.

"Lone knows!"

"Lone knows why Grandpa Huang wants to kill you!"

"You know?"

Lan Yu has always regarded Zhu Yunxi as a child, and now that he suddenly heard Zhu Yunxi say this, the shock in his heart can be imagined.

When he looked at Zhu Yunxi again, he found that Zhu Yunxi not only grew much taller, but even the immaturity on his face had faded unconsciously, and he became a little resolute and calm.

Only then did he realize that the child he had always wanted to protect had grown up unconsciously!

Moreover, it can shelter him from the wind and rain!

Zhu Yunxi threw down the blue jade and came to the front of Lao Zhu and knelt on one knee.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has come to ask you for my guilt!"

Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson after a long absence, and asked with a gloomy face.

"What are you guilty of?"

"In a hurry, my grandson ordered a cannon to open the city gate......

"Do you know what kind of sin it is?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he smiled at Old Zhu and smiled.

"But with the emperor's grandfather!"

"As long as you are willing to do it, hehehehe......"

Even though Lao Zhu was full of anger, when he heard the eldest grandson say this, he could only turn into an endless wry smile.

"You're a rebel!"

"You're really going to us off to death!"

"Gyeonggi dared to use cannons, and personally instructed people to blast open the city gates, and we won't be angry if we kill you!"

Lao Zhu complained a few words to the eldest grandson, and then found a step for the eldest grandson.

"Get up!"

"Let's see that the south city gate is also quite dilapidated, so it's time to demolish and rebuild!"

As soon as Lao Zhu's words came out, the vassal kings and ministers standing on the side were collectively dumbfounded.

The emperor's grandson blew up the city gate, and the old emperor actually said that the city gate was dilapidated and happened to be demolished and rebuilt?

If they're not mistaken, the South City Gate happened to be renovated two years ago, right?

When the vassal kings saw the old man so blatantly eccentric, they were so angry that they all rolled their eyes. It was the civil and military officials who watched the excitement on the sidelines, and when they saw the old emperor spoiling the emperor so much, he was also shocked.

Although it is impossible for the old emperor to kill the emperor's grandson, you can beat him up, or put him in prison for a few days, and put on a show for the subjects of the world.

The old emperor's behavior of not even bothering to "act" deeply hurt those officials who took the Da Ming Law as the criterion.

However, what surprised them even more was that the imperial grandson did not get up from the ground after the old emperor said this, but knelt down on one leg again.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has a reluctant request!"

This time, Lao Zhu didn't wait for the eldest grandson to finish speaking, so he interrupted him with a cold face.

"Shut up!"

"We can not pursue you for breaking the city gate, which is already the greatest tolerance for you. If you dare to make any more inch, we will put you in prison! ”

Zhu Yunxi was not afraid of Lao Zhu's threat.

"Grandpa Huang, if you kill me, I will say it too!"

"Please take back your life and spare the lives of Lan Yu and the others!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words came out, the entire execution ground could be heard of needles falling, and everyone held their breath and waited for the old emperor's decision.

Lao Zhu's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes that looked at Zhu Yunxi seemed to be able to breathe fire.

"Reverse Sun!"

"Do you know who we're doing this for!"

"Yes!"

"You know you're still going to stop it?"

"It's because I know that I don't want the imperial grandfather to do something wrong!"

"Are we wrong?"

Lao Zhu heard this as if he had heard a big joke, he sneered a few times, immediately beckoned to a brocade guard, and then whispered a few words to him.

After a while, Jinyi Wei ran over and handed Lao Zhu a bunch full of thorns.

Lao Zhu looked at the thorns covered in spikes, smiled coldly at Zhu Yunxi, and then threw the thorns heavily in front of him.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the thorns on the ground and was puzzled for a while, but the surrounding officials and vassal kings were stunned.

Because the old emperor also educated the prince like this back then, but the prince didn't dare to pick up the thorn strip and was reprimanded by the old emperor.

Then, the old emperor reprimanded the prince while holding the thorn and removing the spikes on the top.

Zhu Yunxi didn't know this history, but he quickly guessed the emperor's intentions.

It turns out that the imperial grandfather wants to use this thing as a metaphor!

Lan Yu and the others are the spikes parasitic on the thorn of Da Ming, and if he wants to intercede for them, he has to prove that he has the ability to remove the spikes.

Lao Zhu looked at the eldest grandson with a puzzled face and said in a cold voice.

"Your father faced the same choice back then!"

"Your father can't afford to hold this thing, so let's pull out the spikes for him and give him the thorns in their entirety!"

"If you can't pick it up, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

As soon as Lao Zhu's voice fell, Zhu Li closed his eyes in pain, and the other ministers also showed unbearable expressions on their faces.

The old emperor is really ruthless, the prince was an adult back then, and the imperial grandson is only a teenager now, and he is still a child.

How can those immature little hands withstand the ravages of thorns?

Lan Yu saw that Zhu Butcher used this trick again, and he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. This old is too damaged, how can he bully Yunxi this kid like this.

"Yun Hee!"

"Don't listen to your imperial grandfather, your uncle died unjustly, and your uncle deserves to be beheaded!"

Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and others also secretly scolded Lao Zhu for not being righteous, this is not a sincere bully.

Zhu Yunxi is also a nobleman, he has never suffered since he was a child, how can he withstand such thorns?

"Imperial grandson, your kindness is appreciated by our king!"

"Our Wang Bi is in the underworld, and when I see the prince, I want to say your good, let the prince bless you, long live!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the thorns on the ground full of spikes, and then looked at his immature little hands, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

"Grandpa!"

"My grandson doesn't need your help!"

After Zhu Yunxi said this, he reached out and picked up the thorn from the ground.

Though he was careful enough, the spikes pierced his hand, stabbing him with blood.

Zhu Yunxi endured the pain, gritted his teeth and shook it, clutched the thorns tightly, and pulled off the spikes one by one.

One, two, three......

"Grandpa Huang, look, your grandson can pull out the thorns by himself!"

"It's not that my grandson doesn't dare to kill, but he just doesn't want to kill."

"But if someone threatens the throne of the grandson, the grandson will never show mercy!"

"Please believe in grandpa Huang'er!"

Lao Zhu looked at the thorns covered with blood and shouted bitterly.

"Doctor Chuan!"

After Lao Zhu finished shouting these words, he stepped forward suddenly, kicked away the thorns in the eldest grandson's hand, and then grabbed the eldest grandson's bloody hand and scolded.

"Are you stupid!"

"If you want to catch you, you'll catch it!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang has a life, how dare his grandson disobey?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he raised his hand and slapped this rebel grandson.

"Let's also say that you should stay in the palace and study, when have you heard of it!"
