Chapter 191: His Son Is Dying, But He Is Indifferent...
When the emperor heard that Ling Yun had colluded with the female bandit leader of the Heavenly Owl and assisted him in escaping, Long Yan couldn't help but be furious, and ordered left and right: "Come on, push Ling Yun out of the noon gate and behead him!" ……”
Several wolf-like guards stepped forward and escorted Ling Yun without saying anything. Ling Yun turned his face at this time, and he collided with He Yuting's gaze.
His expression was empty for a moment, as if something had shattered and was silent. He wondered: Is this what he calls his biological father?
He suddenly felt that He Yuting's eyes were so unfamiliar. His own son was dying, but he was indifferent, even chuckling, laughing very easily.
It was so relaxed that it seemed to hold his heart tightly in the palm of his hand, slowly squeezing and rubbing, and gradually shattering into a mass of plasma......
But who can blame for this? Until now, He Yuting did not know about the flesh-and-blood relationship between him and him. Is this providence?
He suddenly wanted to tell He Yuting everything, but he was a little hesitant; At this moment, he had been pushed and shoved out of the main hall by several guards, and walked straight to the noon gate.
On the execution ground, several of the execution guards removed the ropes.
At this moment, a thought of rebellion flashed through his mind, but he gave up and let the guards tie him tightly to the pillar with heavy chains.
What is it really like to die? Fear? Sorrowful? Despair? …… I don't know.
At this time, he didn't look anything, but he was picturesque, fragile, tired, relieved, and ...... Extrication.
The executioner at the head said, "Commander Ling, do you have anything else to say?" "This is to ask him to give his last words.
But what else could he say, he only felt like a hammer was hitting his chest mercilessly, and despite the pain, he didn't feel any pain......
At that moment, he felt all thoughts were lost, and he just shook his head weakly.
The executioner glanced at Ling Yun with an obscure look in his eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "Commander Ling, in fact, the brothers have always respected you as a person and admired your martial arts...... Seriously, we really don't want to do it ourselves this time...... Kill you......"
Ling Yun smiled bitterly, "Thank you, don't say anything, do it!" As he spoke, he closed his eyes.
The executioner slowly raised the ghost-headed broadsword.
"Keep people under the knife! ......" made the executioner tremble.
The emotions in Ling Yun's eyes couldn't help but tremble violently. When I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen hurrying over.
How did Lord Lu come here?
Lord Lu was in a very relaxed mood today. He was dressed in civilian clothes, sitting in the study leisurely, discussing some official affairs in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department with Xu Zhi, when suddenly Yang Zhen pushed the door in with a look of arrogance.
"My lord, it's a big deal...... Oh no! The subordinates heard that the brother who was visiting the house came to report, and Brother Ling ...... He seems to have had an accident! ……”
Yang Zhen was sweating profusely, his face was panicked, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke.
Lord Lu's heart sank, he subconsciously glanced at Xu Zhi beside him, and then turned his face to ask Yang Zhen: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
Yang Zhen gasped and said incoherently what happened today on the banks of the Jinming River.
When Lu Wenzheng heard this, he was so angry that his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, speechless for a long time.
In fact, a few days ago, he listened to the people in the mansion talking about it below, saying that Ling Yun seemed to be unclear with other women, and he had a very stiff quarrel with the lord of Huanyu County for this.
At that time, he was very angry and thought: "This stinky boy, it's really not worry-free!" Can't he settle down a little and live their peaceful life with the county lord wholeheartedly? If you have to come out one after another, it's really speechless......"
Angry is angry, but after all, this is a private matter of the young couple, and he can't put his beak in it. But he was still not at ease about the affairs of the Junma Mansion, so he asked Yang Zhen to arrange for people to keep an eye on the movements over there, and if there was anything going on, he would report it immediately.
Now that he heard that Ling Yun had poked such a big leak again, and he had made trouble with the emperor, he couldn't sit still anymore.
After a moment of stunnedness, he got up from his chair with a snort, and before he could even bundle his clothes, he ran out the door.
Because he was walking in such a hurry, he accidentally tripped over the threshold, stumbled under his feet, and almost fell.
Yang Zhen and Xu Zhi hurriedly ran over and hugged them, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, no matter how anxious you are, you have to take it easy, be careful not to bump into it!" ”
At this time, Lu Wenzheng's face was already pale, and he only gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Don't stop me!" …… This stinky boy, if he is in front of me, I want to beat him to death at once! Hmph, what a trouble-making ancestor, but if you have to make a whole play, it's really not worry-free! I'm! I'm! ……”
Yang Zhen looked at Lu Wenzheng's anger that was almost out of control, and couldn't help laughing, "My lord, are you confused?" Brother Ling is your subordinate, not your ancestor! When you say that, this is his life! ……”
Lu Wenzheng trembled, panting and said, "I'll break his life?" He's breaking my birthday! With this stinky boy around me all day long so angry with me, how many years do you think I have to live less? ”
Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen, have they ever seen Lord Lu's angry and crazy demeanor? On weekdays, he is solemn and majestic, calm and calm!
Lord Lu gasped for a while, and then relieved himself; Under the arrangement of Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen, they hurriedly prepared a sedan chair and went straight to the palace.
And so the previous scene happened......
The moment he saw Lord Lu, Ling Yun couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. His teeth clenched very tightly, but the courage and strength to speak out were gone.
He really didn't want to face Lord Lu in such an embarrassing situation with such an embarrassing description. His head was buried very low, but the embarrassment and helplessness that flashed on his face were instantly captured by Lord Lu's sharp eyes.
In front of Lord Lu, he felt like a helpless child who had made a mistake and was caught red-handed.
Lu Wenzheng stared at him with a speechless and helpless expression, and his eyes were full of hatred for iron and steel.
He was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth with difficulty, "Tell me, why do you want to do this?" ……”
Ling Yun turned his face to the side, avoiding Lord Lu's eyes that were slashing at him like knives, and said with some bitterness: "The matter between me and her, the adult will not understand; In short, I am willing to die for her......"
Lu Wenzheng looked at Ling Yun's half-dead appearance, and he was already very angry; At this time, when he heard him say such self-defeating words, he was even more angry.
Uncontrollable emotion, he suddenly raised his hand, and hit Ling Yun in the face without saying a word.
Ling Yun silently closed his eyes, just waiting for Lord Lu's thunderous and fierce slap to fall down.
Of course, Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen on the side couldn't stand idly by, so they hurriedly rushed forward when they saw this, hugging Lord Lu's arm tightly one left and one right.
Xu Zhi has a calm personality and acts rationally, so he comforted him at this time: "My lord is angry. Didn't we come to the emperor to intercede for Commander Ling, what are you competing with Commander Ling here? Don't be angry first, it's better to get down to business first! ”
Lu Wenzheng was reminded by him, and only then did he come back to his senses; Extremely unwillingly, he withdrew his palm that had stopped in mid-air, glared at Ling Yun viciously, and then turned around angrily and left.
As he walked, he said: "This stinky boy really doesn't know whether he lives or dies, and he doesn't know what to do!" should let the emperor kill him, so that everyone can worry about it, and I will live for two more years! ”
Xu Zhi smiled angrily on the side: "My lord, don't talk angry, the top priority is to go and see the saint first!" ”
Saying that, he sighed lightly, turned his face to Yang Zhen and said, "Captain Yang, you guard here first." A few people, can you give a little bit of thin noodles and postpone the execution, and we adults will go and ask the Holy One to see if there is any room for redemption in this matter. ”
With that, he bowed deeply to several of the executing guards.
Several guards exchanged glances with each other and nodded slightly.
Here, Xu Zhi accompanied Lu Wenzheng and hurried to the emperor's imperial study.
When Emperor Zhao Yu saw Lu Wenzheng, his face sank and said, "Lu Aiqing, are you here to intercede for Lingyun?" ”……
Lu Wenzheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed and bowed: "Saint, as the saying goes, 'If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing', and it is said that 'a hero is sad to pass the beauty pass';
"Therefore, Wei Chen hereby implores the Holy Lord, and gives him a chance to mend his ways, so that he can make meritorious contributions to capture the demon girl. If you can't catch the thief again, then you will make him two crimes into one, and it will not be too late to kill him when the time comes, I don't know what the saint wills? ”
The emperor frowned slightly and was silent. He turned his face to He Yuting on the side and said, "He Aiqing, in your opinion, what should I do?" ”
He Yuting saw that the emperor was asking for his opinion, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
He couldn't help but think of the fact that a few days ago, because of Du Zhenghai's incident, Ling Yun was either openly or secretly against him, and repeatedly bad things for him, which made him very dissatisfied with Ling Yun.
And the important thing is that Ling Yun is Lu Wenzheng's person - this is the main reason why there is an insurmountable gap between him and Ling Yun.
For many years, he and Lu Wenzheng have been-for-tat political enemies, and this is no secret, whether in the court or in private.
So at this time, whether it was because of official business or selfishness, he was unwilling to help Ling Yun from the bottom of his heart.
Especially today's incident, it was originally him who pushed Ling Yun to the road of guillotation as the protagonist; If he spoke on Ling Yun's side in turn, wouldn't it be contrary to his original intention?
