[The first day of the second month of the 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, noon, and noon]

At this time, there was a sea of people outside the court, and the flow of people was surging. The crowd stood on tiptoe and stretched out their necks to look inside. Today, it is the famous Tsing Yi Wei Bei Anping Division Thousand Households Sun Xun Manmen. This Sun Xun's name is also a household name in Chang'an City. Whether it is a high-ranking official or a civilian, when they hear the words "Ghost Face Sun Xun", they can't help but feel a sense of horror in their hearts. Gain is not a minority of people who have suffered at his hands. Many relatives of big officials and businessmen were unfortunately arrested and imprisoned, and they never came out again, and this account was naturally recorded on Sun Xun's head. Now, hearing that Sun Xun's entire family is about to be taken to the outside of the noon gate to be beheaded, how can the people in Chang'an City not be surging with emotion? At this moment, if it weren't for the soldiers outside the court to stop it, I am afraid that the flow of onlookers would have crowded the entire court field.

At the north end of the court is a tall wooden platform. Sitting in the middle of the stage was Yang Wenyuan, who was inspected by Tsing Yi Wei. Sitting next to Yang Wenyuan was Shen Limin, a member of the Criminal Department. The other people who accompanied the prisoner were two hundred households in the Tsing Yi Guard, as well as two magistrates from the Criminal Department.

"Lord Shen, the time has come, let's start the kill?" Seeing that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Wenyuan asked Shen Limin on the side. Although Yang Wenyuan is the chief supervisor today, after all, Shen Limin's rank is the same as him, and he is from the fourth grade. The rules and politeness of officialdom are naturally indispensable to him Yang Wenyuan......

"Lord Yang, let's start the kill!" Shen Limin next to him hurriedly replied.

So, Yang Wenyuan waved his hand to his subordinates, and said two words, "Open and slash!" The cannon was heard three times, and all the executioners stepped forward, holding the ghost head knife in their hands, and fell with great luck. The machete, facing the dazzling midday sun, the knife was shining, so that everyone could not open their eyes, and when the blade passed, they saw rows of heads falling to the ground one after another, and blood gushed out of the severed heads...... Only a moment later, more than 100 people were beheaded, their bodies separated, and from then on they entered reincarnation and returned to the netherworld.

The onlookers saw a large number of heads fall to the ground, and most of them clapped their hands, but there were also a few people who shook their heads and sighed, saying that these people were just relatives of Sun Xun's same clan and clan, and they only blamed their fate for not being good, and they were affected by this......

According to the emperor's holy decree, all the female dependents of the Sun family were official prostitutes. Most of the more than 100 men who were beheaded in the court were not Sun Xun's immediate family members. Sun Xun's father and grandfather are no longer alive, and the only brother Sun Chang has also died at the hands of Wang Meng. It was Sun Xun's one cousin, two cousins, four cousins, dozens of cousins and nephews, as well as Sun Xun's father-in-law, uncle, uncle, and uncle's entire family of men who were beheaded. After Sun Xun arrived at the Sanpin Thousand Households in Tsing Yi, he could almost call for wind and rain in the capital, and these relatives, aunts, cousins, uncles and other relatives came from all over the country and rushed to take refuge in the Sun family. In the past ten years, they have tasted enough of wealth and prosperity with Sun Qianhu, but they never thought that in the end, they would also follow Sun Xun to the ground.

Among the beheaded criminals, the leader was the fake "Li Junxian". Because he was an important criminal in the case of the prince's rebellion, Yang Wenyuan and the rest of the prison officials also deliberately stepped forward to carefully inspect it. Everyone was very surprised to see that "Li Junxian" was already kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, but his hands, feet and neck were still shaking slightly, and there was no fear on his face before he died. However, after all, seeing that he looked exactly like Li Junxian, although everyone was surprised, they did not suspect that it was fake. However, after all, Yang Wenyuan personally interrogated Sun Xun for many days, and suddenly saw that the wounds on the body of "Li Junxian" and the wounds on the broken bones of his legs were so familiar, and he was about to step forward to take a closer look, when he suddenly felt dizzy in front of him, and when he looked at "Li Junxian" again, he had no doubts.

Naturally, Yang Wenyuan's "dizziness" and the short-term illusion of "Li Junxian" in front of him were all the work of Hu Yiyi, who was secretly hiding outside the court.

Seeing that all the criminals had fallen to the ground, and the executioner was cleaning up the corpses and the court, Hu Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that the matter was finally smooth, but Xiao Wuxian was fortunate not to leave any mistakes and handles. At this time, the smell of blood came with the wind, and Hu Yiyi couldn't help frowning. She tightened her cloak and hood, covered her head and face again, and hurriedly left the crowd and went back to her Xu Mansion......

However, those who are as witty as Hu Yiyi are still very secret.

Because Emperor Li Chongsheng's verbal edict to Li Junxian was the punishment of "beheading to show the public". After the beheading was completed, although the body was all cleaned up, the head of "Li Junxian" would be hung up outside the noon gate for three days. So after the beheading was completed, Yang Wenyuan stepped forward again and ordered his subordinates to find the head of "Li Junxian".

A Tsing Yi guard found the severed head of "Li Junxian" and was about to take it to hang it outside the noon gate, when he was suddenly stopped by Yang Wenyuan.

Yang Wenyuan is called "Yang Zifang" in the entire Tsing Yi Wei, and he really has some skills. Not only is he scheming and ruthless, but he is also extremely keen. He just took the afterglow of his eyes, and he felt that the head of "Li Junxian" was a little strange. At this time, the guard presented the severed head of "Li Junxian", Yang Wenyuan took a closer look, and sure enough, the rest of the head was complete, but only in the right eye socket, it was empty......

"Has Li Junxian ever been tortured by gouging out his eyes?" Yang Wenyuan asked as he turned to his subordinates.

"Lord Qiqi Qianhu, it is reported that Li Junxian was tortured by Sun Xun for a month in the prison. However, his subordinates had never heard of Li Junxian being gouged out...... Seeing that the guards shook their heads to show that they didn't know, a hundred households beside Yang Wenyuan stepped forward and replied.

"Go, look for it......" Yang Wenyuan commanded.

"Found it!" Before long, a guard picked up an "eyeball" from the ground and handed it to Yang Wenyuan's hand. Yang Wenyuan picked up this "eyeball" and looked at it carefully, although he saw that it was black and white and quite similar, but after all, it felt stiff. Yang Wenyuan pinched his fingers and worked hard, and the "eyeball" suddenly shattered, turning into a hand full of wall ash and broken wood chips.

"Transfiguration!" Seeing this, Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart.

"Yang Qianhu...... What's going on? Isn't he Li Junxian?......" Seeing that Yang Wenyuan's face was quite strange, the hundred households couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Hugh is talking nonsense! This is not Li Junxian, what else will it be! Go quickly! Hang the head of this rebel above the noon gate to set an example!" Yang Wenyuan's face changed, and he said calmly.

"Yes!" The guards took the head of "Li Junxian" and took the order.

The supervisors next to him beheaded

Official, seeing that Yang Wenyuan had already made up his mind, although he felt suspicious in his heart, he couldn't say much in his mouth. What's more, the head of "Li Junxian", except for the drop of the right eyeball, is exactly the same as the real Li Junxian, most of these people are people who are afraid of bullying and fearing things, seeing that the question is over, everyone is just looking forward to going back to the business soon, who will go to find trouble? !

It's just that Yang Wenyuan's heart is already clear. At that moment, he didn't say much, and after saying goodbye to Shen Limin and the others, he hurried back to Tsing Yiwei. He wanted to return to Shen Dudu immediately.

......

It turned out that although Murong Yan was proficient in the art of disguise, she was in the Imperial Prison Prison yesterday, after all, the time was limited, and she failed to carefully fix the fake eyeball in her right eye socket in a hurry. Today's law field asked to behead, and under the force of the executioner's ghost-headed machete, when the head of "Li Junxian" fell to the ground, his fake eyeball rolled out. didn't want to, but Yang Wenyuan saw through it on the spot.

However, Yang Wenyuan knew that this matter was very important, if he accidentally leaked the news, if the emperor knew about it, the Son of Heaven would be furious, and when the time came, he would be punished by all those who were involved in this matter. He himself will be affected if he can't do a good job of patrolling thousands of households.

The best strategy, of course, is to immediately inform Shen Huan, the boss of the entire Tsing Yi Guard, to the truth of this matter.

Half an hour later, in a retreat room on the side of Shen Huan's detention room, Yang Wenyuan hurried in, and before he had time to take a sip of tea, he told all his legal encounters and doubts in his heart......

Shen Huan groaned: "You mean, it was not Li Junxian who was beheaded, but Sun Xun's dead body?"

Yang Wenyuan nodded and said, "Exactly!"

Shen Huan asked, "How can the dead body move?"

Yang Wenyuan replied: "Dudu, there are many strange techniques in this world, and someone must have used the method of controlling corpses or the technique of puppets, which can control zombies and walk simply, and others can't see it." ”

Shen Huan asked again, "Wen Yuan, can you be sure...... Is it really Sun Xun's corpse that was beheaded?"

Yang Wenyuan replied again: "Dudu, his subordinates can conclude that it must be Sun Xun's corpse, and there is no doubt that his right eye was beaten out with a nail by his subordinates, and it is based on the scar in his right eye socket, which his subordinates can know at a glance. Moreover, that false eyeball is a disguised thing, so my subordinates can conclude that in the past few days, there must have been a disguised master who has secretly infiltrated my Tsing Yi Wei Prison and turned Sun Xun's corpse into the appearance of Li Junxian......"

Shen Huan then asked again: "You didn't move the fake head of 'Li Junxian', did you......?" But anyone else knows?"

Yang Wenyuan hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, the governor! That fake eyeball just fell when it was opened." In addition, 'Li Junxian' is still Li Junxian! His subordinates have ordered someone to hang the head outside the noon gate, and within a few hours, a few vultures will cut the head beyond recognition, and even if the emperor sees it, he can't tell the truth from the fake. This thing...... Right now, no one knows about it except for his subordinates!"

Shen Huan stood up, walked a few steps, and said, "Very good! Wen Yuan, you are worthy of being the 'Yang Zifang' in my Tsing Yi Guard! You have handled this matter carefully! Very good, very good! If you make the city full of storms...... So much so that it alarmed the saints, but it will be difficult to clean up!"

Yang Wenyuan also stood up, bowed to Shen Huan and said: "It is really a blessing for Wen Yuan to be cultivated by the governor! The governor has a life, and Wen Yuan will die!"

Shen Huan walked in front of Yang Wenyuan, stretched out his right hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sit down, Sit down, Wenyuan...... In your opinion, this 'Li Junxian' is Sun Xun's corpse pretend, so where is the real Li Junxian?"

Yang Wenyuan waited until Shen Huan returned to sit down on the wooden couch before he sat down completely, and he hurriedly replied: "Dudu, the real Li Junxian was naturally secretly let out by Xu Ke......

Shen Huan asked, "No, according to the report of the guards in the past few days, no one has seen Xu Ke take Li Junxian out. Besides, the prison is heavily defended, and there are three iron gates alone, how did this Xu Ke bring Li Junxian out? Could it be someone else'......?"

Yang Wenyuan hurriedly said: "There is no possibility of anyone else! Governor, yesterday when I went to inspect the Imperial Prison, I saw Xu Ke secretly removing Sun Xun's body, and at that time he lied to me that it was an 'autopsy,' saying that he wanted to find out the cause of Sun Xun's death! This Sun Xun was stabbed to death by him, and what other reason can be investigated? Now that I think about it, he had already planned to stop it yesterday. It must have been him who took advantage of the unpreparedness to secretly turn Sun Xun's dead body into the appearance of Li Junxian, and also turned Li Junxian into someone else's appearance. In this way, even if he brings out "Li Junxian" in a grand manner, no one will know about it. His plan of 'stealing beams and changing pillars' has been hidden from everyone's eyes......"

Shen Huan smiled again: "However, I still haven't escaped my Yang Zifang's pair of magic eyes! It seems that the so-called 'magic is one foot high and one foot high!' is ridiculous, although Xu Baihu's strategy is ingenious and the means are high, compared to Wen Yuan...... After all, it's still a bad move!hahaha!"

Yang Wenyuan said: "Governor, do you want your subordinates to write an excerpt and join him?"

Shen Huan waved his hand and said, "This ...... After all, this Xu Baihu is also a hundred households appointed by the emperor, and this time he was ordered to protect Qincha meritorious, and the emperor ...... him But the pet is so trusted!" What he said in his heart was that if he hadn't been a little impulsive, this inspection of the location of thousands of households, where would it be your turn to get Yang Wenyuan!

Yang Wenyuan hurriedly said: "Governor! Although this Xu Baihu was appointed by the emperor, he was so bold and bold that he dared to steal the beams and change the pillars and let go of the Qin prisoner without permission, even if the emperor had the heart to protect him, but my great law could not tolerate him! Besides, Li Junxian was the prince's key criminal in rebellion! Xu Baihu dared to let Li Junxian go, this is a monstrous crime! His subordinates thought that if the emperor knew about this, he would be furious and would never be able to spare him!"

Shen Huanwu thought to himself: "Xu Baihu is young...... He can be regarded as a talent! I really need a young talent like him in Tsing Yi Wei Middle School. If Xu Baihu is allowed to ...... because of this matter Ahem! Bento's heart can't bear it, his heart can't bear it!"

When Yang Wenyuan heard this, he knew that Shen Huan was eager to win over Xu Ke. He said in his heart If this saint-appointed Xu Baihu is thrown under your Shen Huan's command again, then what is the use of me Yang Wenyuan? At that moment, he hurriedly got up, took a few steps forward, and said: "Dudu, do you know that in the past few days, Xu Baihu and the new Qianhu Nangong of our Bei'an Ping Division have been fighting fiercely without saying a word! The two of them have to be the same every day

In and out of the same house, it is rumored that they are all about to get married!"

Shen Huanqi said: "Oh...... It has only been less than three days since Nangong arrived in Bei'an Pingsi, how could he marry Xu Baihu?"

Yang Wenyuan said: "It's true! Dudu, my subordinates heard that Xu Ke had gone to Nangong's mansion and drank love wine with his sister-in-law. Not only that, Nangong Qianhu's sister has to make a hearty breakfast every day and send it to the official room of this Xu Baihu......"

Shen Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "There is such a strange thing! Does this governor know that Nangong's sister-in-law, she is really not light! This Brother Xu is so handsome, can you look at her?"

Yang Wenyuan also sneered: "This...... The subordinates don't know, but there is a saying that 'the lover's eyes are out of the west'. Moreover, with Nangong Qianhu's official status today, how many people are still rushing to be his brother-in-law!"

Shen Huan's face turned cold, and he snorted: "Wen Yuan, you are my 'ovary', Nangong...... You are also Bento's favorite general, and you are both my right-hand man. Since Xu Baihu is about to become Nangong's brother-in-law, this matter must be put aside. What's more, if this matter is poked out, it will also hinder my Tsing Yi Wei's face......"

Yang Wenyuan hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Governor Shen loves talents so much, Wen Yuan really admires it!

At this point, Yang Wenyuan didn't want to say more, so he had to salute, then turned around and retreated respectfully.

Yang Wenyuan left Shen Dudu's retreat room, and as he walked, he sneered in his heart: "Nangong is silent in the past, it is true that it is your love, but now, if he is still your arm, I am afraid that even you Shen Huan himself will not believe it!"

What Yang Wenyuan didn't expect was that just after he turned around and left. Shen Huan walked to the bookcase, took out a pen and paper, and wrote all the details of Xu Ke's private release of Li Junxian by Yang Wenyuan, before and after, into a "secret fold". After writing it, Shen Huan put the secret fold into the cabinet and locked it firmly.

It seems that the dignified and majestic Shen Dudu, who shows tolerance and generosity towards Xu Kezhi today, is not because of "love talent" as Yang Wenyuan said, but because he has other plans in his chest. His secret fold is undoubtedly like a barrel of explosives for Xu Ke, at any time, as long as he pulls the fuse, Xu Ke will be blown to pieces.

It's just that when this secret fold will reach the emperor's hands, and when this fuse will be ignited, everything depends on Shen Huan's mood.

......

At the same time, on the Moyun Pavilion in the Quanhu Lake in the Chu Palace, there were three people sitting upright. Li Zhi, the king of Chu, Xiao Yihong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Qin Jianxun, the secretary of the Military Department.

Li Zhi listened to Xiao Yihong's reply, and was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Have you been killed?"

Xiao Yihong said: "Your Highness, there are a total of one hundred and twenty-six people in the Sun family, and all of them have been beheaded. ”

Li Zhi asked again, "What about the daughters of the Sun family?"

Xiao Yihong said: "According to the will, they have all been sent to the 'Agarwood Academy' to be used as official prostitutes. Does Your Highness want to give them to ......?" he made a gesture of going head, and said in his heart, you must be uneasy, worried that there is still evidence of guilt left, and you want to get rid of them all, right?

"Take good care of them, and when the limelight passes, you send someone to spend some silver, redeem them all, and ......settle them well," Unexpectedly, Li Zhi changed his compassionate tone and said slowly.

Xiao Yihong said: "Your Highness, according to my decree, once you become an official prostitute, you will be a slave forever, and you will not be able to redeem yourself!"

Li Zhi said: "I told you to redeem, and you went to redeem, something happened...... Find me Li Zhi is! and...... All the people who were beheaded in the Sun family today, you also sent people to take care of their funeral!"

At this time, Qin Jianxun on the side hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you have redeemed your body for the daughter of his grandson, and you have done your best to Sun Xun! This matter is easy to do, and the illegal sale of official prostitutes in the Agarwood Courtyard is not a matter of one or two days." It's just that if you want to take care of the aftermath of the beheaded people today, you must not do it! Your Highness thinks about it, they are all family members of the prisoners, and the emperor may still be angry, and His Highness himself has not yet taken off the suspicion...... Now, it is even necessary to openly collect the bodies of Qin prisoners for burial...... That's unacceptable!"

Li Zhi was silent for a while, and nodded to Qin Jianxun, acquiescing to his words. Then he asked, "I heard that Sun Xun escaped with a son, and besides, is he his only son?"

Xiao Yihong was reprimanded by Li Zhi just now, and this time he finally touched Li Zhi's heart, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Sun Xun has only one son, named Sun Xiwen, he is not among the people who were beheaded today, he must have been robbed by someone." Your Highness can rest assured that in the future, once your subordinates find Sun Xiwen, they will do their best to help him and raise him to adulthood, so as to comfort His Highness's heart of caring for the old department......"

Li Zhi raised his face and said coldly: "Who asked you to help him?!"

Xiao Yihong couldn't help but feel at a loss in his heart, and some of the second monks were confused, so he asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Find him, kill him!" Li Zhi said.

Xiao Yihong was about to say more, but he was given a look by Qin Jianxun beside him. I saw Qin Jianxun get up and replied, "My subordinates take orders!"

......

After Xiao Yihong and Qin Jianxun had retreated, Li Zhi sighed and took out the secret letter "rewarded" to him by the emperor from his arms. He opened the letter, read it carefully, and then slowly put the secret letter into his bosom, for fear that the letter would be lost accidentally......

Li Zhi lay by the window, closing his eyes slightly, as if enjoying the remnant sun obliquely shining in outside the window, as well as the ethereal and clear breath on the lake......

All of this, on weekdays, is an insignificant existence for Li Zhi. However, at this time, Li Zhi was breathing heavily, savoring it vigorously, and feeling it carefully...... Because it was these insignificant existences, almost, he couldn't enjoy it anymore.

At this time, Li Zhi felt a little confused, uneasy, guilty, regretful and lost, but also felt happy, joyful, relaxed and satisfied......

With the beheading of the Sun family, the assassination of Qin Cha was finally concluded, and because of the credit of that fake "secret letter", the emperor finally let Li Zhi go, and there was no punishment for him.

Li Zhi, the king of Chu, finally escaped the catastrophe, and from then on he could rest assured that he could sleep well.
