359. Sad, poignant encounter
359. Sad, poignant encounter
The supervisor couldn't bear to look at such a scene, he just looked up at the sky and sighed lightly, noon was coming soon, and all he could do was let them get together for a few more moments......
At this time, some people don't know each other!
The silence was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and the crowd followed the sound, only to see an official galloping on a fast horse......
The official grasped the reins in one hand, held the scroll high in the other, and said in a loud voice, "The holy decree has arrived!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, it must be God who has opened their eyes, and this newcomer has been saved!
The crowd of people around them secretly looked forward to it, and knelt down tremblingly......
As soon as the supervisor heard that the holy decree had arrived, he hurriedly got down from his seat to greet the visitor, waved the official, knelt down on his knees, and said respectfully, "Weichen accepts the order!"
Hearing that the holy decree had arrived, Gu Junjie's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly helped Zhang Cuihua, who was already kneeling on the ground, to turn around on the spot, facing the direction of the official, and knelt down reverently! In their hearts, where is the holy decree in the official's hand, it is all their hope!
The official glanced at the prisoner who was prostrate at his feet, and then glanced at the ordinary people who were kneeling on the ground around him, and cleared his throat slightly before preaching
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said: Zhang Cuihua, the slave maid of the loyal prince's mansion, misbehaved and seduced the prince and grandson, and should have been beheaded!
Under the torture platform, some people couldn't help cheering, and everyone laughed...... "Great!", "Saved!", "God has opened his eyes!"......
"Cui ......" Gu Junjie's voice choked, and the tears that he couldn't stop flowing out again!
And Zhang Cuihua just looked at the official who announced the decree in a daze, and looked at the ecstatic Gu Junjie in front of her stupidly, she didn't seem to react......
The official who announced the decree frowned, and roared in anger, "Silence!"
In an instant, the audience was silent, and everyone was faintly uneasy!
Sure enough, the officer went on to preach
"But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped! Zhang Cuihua will be exiled to the side and set off immediately! There must be no mistake!
There was an uproar in the audience, everyone was first surprised, then angry, and some people had even begun to gear up......
The official himself doesn't seem to know that he has already aroused outrage!
"How could it be...... How could this be!" Gu Junjie muttered in disbelief, he had obviously ...... Already......
Finally, Gu Junjie stood up uncontrollably and yelled at the official who announced the decree, "Impossible! impossible...... The emperor has already answered that I let her go! Why do you want to be exiled! I want to go to the emperor, I want to go to the emperor!"
After Gu Junjie finished speaking, he rushed directly down the execution platform, the official seemed to have expected Gu Junjie to make such a move, but seeing that he slightly signaled to the guards who were running cautiously after his horse all the way, those guards rushed over with understanding, grabbed Gu Junjie, and unceremoniously pressed Gu Junjie to the ground......
"Lord Wang! Lord Wang!" Zhang Cuihua cried and wanted to rush over, but was immediately held down by the executioner beside her......
The official laughed and walked up to Gu Junjie, whose face was on the ground, and said in a weird manner, "Lord Zhong! Weichen is rude! You are fine!" After speaking, the official looked at the guards who were restraining King Zhong angrily, "You are really, how can you be so rude to Lord Zhong, why don't you quickly help Lord Zhong up!"
"Yes!" The guards finally let go of King Zhong, and the official himself squatted down and helped King Zhong up! Taking the opportunity, the official whispered in King Zhong's ear, "Lord Zhong, you really have a vision! Don't say it, although the slave and maid are not a national beauty, but they do have a bit of beauty! Don't worry, the emperor has already explained, let those officials take good care of her on the way to escort her!"
Gu Junjie was suffocated at first, and then like a beast, he roared and pounced on the official, who didn't seem to expect Gu Junjie to have such great strength, and he didn't stand firm, and was knocked to the ground by Gu Junjie......
Everyone only saw that the official went to help the king in person, but they didn't know the inside story, so they saw that the king suddenly lost control, and pounced on the official like crazy, as if he wanted to tear the official to pieces, or wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood!
Gu Junjie was soon pressed to the ground by those guards again, but this time he seemed to be very unwilling, although he couldn't even move his fingers all over his body, he still struggled desperately, and a series of strange screams came out of his mouth!
The official was relieved to see that Gu Junjie had been restrained, and only then did he stand up with the support of the two guards, and roared angrily in a voice that only the people around him could hear, "Hmph! What is it! Calling you loyal to the prince is to give you enough face, and soon, you will be nothing!
The official took a few steps back and said in a voice that everyone could hear, "Lord Zhong, this official is kind enough to help you, why did you attack this official?"
Gu Junjie glared at the official with angry eyes! At this moment, he was like a trapped beast......
The official sneered proudly, took out another holy decree from his arms, glanced at Gu Junjie on the ground, and said in a straight voice, "King Zhong accepts the decree!"
Gu Junjie was still struggling restlessly, as if he hadn't heard the words that let him accept the decree at all, but the official didn't seem to care, and said aloud with the holy decree
"Loyal King Gu Junjie, bewitched by demons, almost committed a great mistake that dishonored the reputation of the royal family! But remembering the merits of his ancestors, the emperor's grace is immense, and he pardons his crimes! But he does not want the loyal king not only not to be grateful for the grace of heaven, but also to openly despise the court, and to the emperor is not, the loyal king Gu Junjie is heinous and heinous, should have stripped him of his throne and demoted to a commoner, but he can read the gold medal of the founding emperor of the world, so he once again pardons his sins! To the disappointment of the widow, the loyal king still did not repent, and even took off his crown, handed over the gold medal, and was willing to be a commoner, so he deceived the heavens and destroyed the ancestors. It is unforgivable to be willing to degenerate! Now the widow is punished on behalf of heaven, and the hereditary title of the loyal king Gu Junjie is specially stripped away, and the gold medal given by the founding emperor is also returned to the state treasury, and all the belongings of the loyal prince's mansion are confiscated!
After the official finished reading the holy decree, he said with a smile, "Lord Zhong...... Oh! No, I should call you Gu Junjie now!
There was a gasping sound all around, no one spoke, and no one made a single sound......
