Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Fortune in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 216 Feng Yu's intentions
From the city, to the city.
These dead men had made detailed arrangements before they came!
They fled as fast as they could, either by flying over the walls or by stepping directly over the heads of the crowd.
It's quite a clever arrangement.
Meng Li couldn't chase them, and he couldn't chase them, so he could only watch them leave.
But just when those dead soldiers were about to walk out of the passage and escape, Zhou Ming took his soldiers to strike.
The soldiers who practiced the battle formation all the year round, each of them was powerful, and under the command of Zhou Ming, the four dead soldiers were quickly captured.
Zhou Ming ordered someone to find a rope and tie up the dead soldiers.
Yan Dilong came out of nowhere, came to Meng Li's side, and said in a low voice, "These dead soldiers are Yuan Yuting's people. ”
Meng Li already knew it, and sneered: "You are also here to kill Du Yu?"
Yan Dilong flattered: "Where are you, I'm here to abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”
Meng Li ignored Yan Dilong, and came to Zhou Ming and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help." ”
As early as when Zhou Ming appeared, Meng Li had already recognized him, this person was the captain of the city patrol he met when he was riding horses in the city the night before.
"Don't worry, it's my job. Zhou Ming waved his hand, unimpressed.
"There's one more thing in the future, and I hope to get help from adults. ”
"You say. ”
At this time, under the corner of the city wall, two army horses were standing.
Meng Li pointed to the war horse and said, "I want to borrow two horses from the adults." ”
How could the army's war horses be easily borrowed? Moreover, they were not familiar with each other.
Meng Li also had the intention of trying, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree.
"These two war horses, you can ride away. ”
Meng Li clenched his hands into fists and thanked him again.
At this time, a passage had been cleared under the city gate, and Meng Li took Du Yu into the city, rode a war horse, and handed over another war horse to Yan Dilong.
"Get on the horse and follow me to the Nancheng Execution Ground. ”
The Nancheng Execution Ground, the place where criminals float to the law, has become the execution ground of Jieshui City, and there have been no less than 1,000 criminals executed here.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the cold execution ground was empty, and it was not until Xue Baiqi was escorted into the execution ground that there was a trace of life here.
People attracted by the prisoner van surrounded the execution site. Most of these people didn't know why, looking at Xue Baiqi, who was escorted to the execution platform, pointing and pointing, there was a lot of discussion.
Yuan Yuting hid in the crowd, nervous and excited.
Xue Baiqi has been escorted to the execution ground, and he will soon be in a different place, as long as he dies, this case will come to an end, and his affairs will naturally be over.
Oh yes, there's also a Meng Li......
However, he had already arranged the dead at the city gate, and Yan Dilong was sweeping the formation, which should be able to wipe out Du Delirium.
As long as Du Delirium dies, there will be no proof of death at that time.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yuting couldn't help but look at the judgment table, and saw Feng Yu, who was dressed in black, sitting with his eyes closed, not angry but threatening.
It is this majestic envoy who can deal with the crisis in front of him so calmly.
At this moment, Feng Yu, who was sitting firmly on the judgment platform like a stone statue, suddenly moved.
He opened his eyes, glanced at the sky, and said expressionlessly: "It's almost time, let's start!"
The officials in the audience were instructed and said loudly: "The criminal Xue Baiqi, who colluded with the martial artists and assassinated the holy monk Changming, is an unforgivable crime, and he will be beheaded." ”
Many people who came out of curiosity learned that the young man who was taken to the execution platform was the culprit who killed the holy monk Changming.
All of a sudden, the crowd was excited.
Some people who had just finished buying vegetables in the morning market even broke the vegetable leaves in their hands and threw them at Xue Baiqi.
"Dare to assassinate the holy monk Chang Ming, you can't die well!"
"Kill him and avenge the holy monk!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
The shouts were one after another, reaching Xue Baiqi's ears, which was both ridiculous and harsh.
Suddenly, a slender figure in the crowd rushed towards the torture platform and hugged Xue Baiqi tightly.
"No! No! Brother Xue can never be a murderer!"
Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and Fan Xianlin's weak figure was like breaking into a raging storm, helpless and desperate.
Xue Baiqi looked at her with a painful heart, wanting to wipe away her tears, but he couldn't do anything when his hands were tied behind his back.
"Xianlin, don't cry!"
He could only force a smile and comfort her with what little optimism he had.
Who knows, Fan Xianlin cried even more miserably......
The heart-rending cry echoed on the execution ground, Fan Xianlin was already crying hoarsely in his throat, and his voice changed from sharp to low, gradually infecting the crowd.
Everyone stopped throwing, stopped shouting and swearing, and couldn't bear to look at the thin and helpless figure.
When Feng Yu saw this scene, he frowned and waved his hand.
"Pull her away for me!"
A knife-wielding guard stepped forward, like a cold and ruthless machine, and pulled Fan Xianlin up.
The slender Fan Xianlin, how could she withstand the strength of a burly man, but even if she was pulled up, she still hugged Xue Baiqi tightly, and her nails were cracked and she refused to let go.
"If I don't leave, if you want to kill, even me will kill you!"
"This slut!"
When Yuan Yuting saw this scene, he gritted his teeth, and his face was full of resentment.
Xue Baiqi is dying now, and she wants to be buried with her?
Fuck off! Damn! It's not a pity to die!
Feng Yu said unhappily: "What are you doing with it?"
When the sword-wielding guard heard the reprimand, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to use force to pull Fan Xianlin away from here.
But at this moment, a cold snort suddenly came out of the crowd.
"Presumptuous!"
The guard seemed to hear the identity of the other party, and his body stiffened, and he froze in place.
The crowd surged, and Bai, who was dressed in a white official uniform, then walked out and came to the torture platform, looking at the guards coldly.
"Who gave you the right to deal with a girl in such a brutal way. ”
The guard let go of his hands, lowered his head as if he had done something wrong, and said in fear, "My lord, I was wrong. ”
"Let's go down!"
The guards were not disobedient and obediently withdrew from the ring.
Bai also helped Fan Xianlin up from the ground and said softly, "It's okay." ”
Fan Xianlin sobbed: "Please make the decision for Brother Xue." ”
Bai Ye nodded with a heavy face, and then looked at the man in black who was sitting on the judgment table.
"Feng Yu, you are disregarding people's lives!"
Lord Bai said cautiously. Feng Yu smiled coldly, stood up and said, "The imperial court stipulates that all cases related to martial artists are punished by the town tower envoy. As the envoy of Jianjingfu Town in Jieshui City, I was ordered by the imperial court to try this case. Is there any dissatisfaction with Lord Bai?"
Bai Ye said with a gloomy face: "What if I am dissatisfied?"
Feng Yu said expressionlessly: "You are a personal envoy of the imperial court, with a high status, although you are not involved in the case, you have the duty of supervision. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can activate this authority and overturn the case for a new trial. ”
"So that's what you're for!"
Bai Ye squinted his eyes and looked carefully again, this person's mind was so deep that he hadn't seen it before!
Not only the mirror envoy, but also the town tower envoy also has the ability to supervise, which is also to let the mirror envoy and the town tower envoy hinder each other and prevent one family from becoming dominant.
However, in order to prevent the functions of the two envoys from being confused and consuming each other, the imperial court gave great restrictions on the supervision authority of the two envoys, so that they could not be abused.
Whether it is a mirror envoy or a town tower envoy, once this privilege is used, it will inevitably pay a great price.
Feng Yu sneered: "It's just a one-year suspension, what's the matter, are you scared? Maybe you can catch my sore foot and take the lead in driving me out of Jieshui City." ”
Bai didn't refute either, but secretly calculated in his heart.
This matter was obviously deliberately done by Feng Yu, in order to temporarily drive him out of Jieshui City.
As for his so-called sore feet......
It simply won't exist.
Even if there is a miscarriage of justice in this case, it can be easily resolved by simply finding a guilty sheep.
Feng Yu will not only not be affected, but will also become the pinnacle of power in the Jianjing Mansion, even if it is only for a year.
Bai also glanced at Xue Baiqi on the torture platform, and his doubts deepened.
What exactly did Feng Yu want to do? In order to take charge of the Jianjing Mansion alone, he even did not hesitate to offend Lao Xue?
However, this Feng Yu's luck is really good, if it weren't for Lao Xue going out and not being able to return today, things would not have developed to this point.
Bai couldn't figure it out, but one thing could be seen that Feng Yu would inevitably try not to find it this time.
Save or not, it's a question!
Now it seems that Xue Baiqi has settled down, even if Meng Li comes back in time, it will be useless.
The only way to save Xue Baiqi is to push the case for retrial.
It was a gamble with a definite end, and it didn't make a difference whether to gamble or not, but he had a reason to gamble.
"Okay, I've tried this case. Bai Ye's eyes lit up, revealing his decision, no matter what Feng Yu's purpose was, he couldn't back down.
"I'm waiting for your words!"
Feng Yu laughed, now that his goal has been achieved, as for whether Yuan Yuting is dead or alive, what does it have to do with him?
After the confession also appeared, Yuan Yuting felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and it was not until the case was retried that he woke up like a dream.
He looked at Bai Ye and Feng Yu resentfully, and his face gradually changed from gloomy to hideous. Why do you want to reiterate? Why do you agree? Why can't you let Xue Baiqi die obediently? Why do you have to go against me?
And Meng Li! and Du Yu!
Why are the two of them bothering me too?
No, I haven't lost yet, I still have Yan Dilong, and those dead soldiers, maybe they have already succeeded, I can't panic, I can't panic!
Just when Yuan Yuting was calming down, a scene that made him desperate appeared.
Meng Li came with Du Yu on horseback, and behind him, Yan Dilong rode a horse to follow.
And when Yan Dilong was like a subordinate and respectfully helped Meng Li off the war horse, Yuan Yuting only felt that the sky was spinning, as if the sky was about to fall.
What followed was as expected.
Bai also retried the case, and under the testimony of Du Yu and Yan Dilong, Yuan Yuting was speechless and could only admit the fact of hiring a murderer.
Killing pays for life, the truth has remained unchanged since ancient times.
Yuan Yuting hired a murderer, and the crime was added to the first degree, and Bai was sentenced to death on the spot.
Yuan Yuting's father, Yuan Zhizhang, after learning about this incident, mobilized all the forces of the Yuan family, and even if he paid a huge price, he did not change the result.
As for Du Yu, in the end, it is also the result of inevitable death.
