Zhao Songhui wrote a secret letter and asked a strong man in the palace in the realm of the Grandmaster to rush to Tianxuanzong overnight to hand it over to Ziyang Zhenren.

"What happened to Xiao Fan's soldiers?" asked Zhao Songhui.

"Back to the emperor, there is no difference between the fire wolf and the silver wolf, but the people in those cities are rushing to the imperial capital, saying that they want to ask the emperor for an explanation. ”

"Hmph! A bunch of untouchables! I gave them food and clothing, and they actually came to me for a Xiao Fan to ask for an explanation! When Xiao Fan is killed, I will suppress these Diao people!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers and the prince will do the killing of Xiao Fan, let us be this executioner. ”

"I want to thank the prime minister, the prime minister and the princess. ”

"The old minister doesn't dare, the ministers can share the worries of the emperor, that is the blessing of the ministers!"

"Well, you go back and wait for news from me. If Ziyang Zhenren agrees, Xiao Fan will be killed at noon tomorrow. If Ziyang Zhenren doesn't agree, I can only think of other ways, anyway, Xiao Fan must die, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The ministers will retire. ”

Tai Xuan and Zhao Tie left the palace, went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together from the back door, entered the dungeon and ordered people to use a big punishment on Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan's hands and feet were chained, and the whole person was arranged into a big character, and his hair was messy.

"Smack!"

The whip was heavily whipped on Xiao Fan's body, and blood splashed up immediately, and the skin and flesh were open where it was drawn.

Speaking of which, this kind of strength can't hurt Xiao Fan at all, but he deliberately didn't use his physical strength and true qi to resist, just to make himself look bloody, so that he can better achieve the effect he wants.

"Give me a hundred lashes!" Tai Yan said with a cruel smile, and when Xiao Fan's skin was open and covered with dripping blood, he said, "What's it, how does it taste?"

Xiao Fan smiled and grinned brightly, which made a wave of anger rise in Tai Yan's heart: "Fight again, beat me hard!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Wow ......"

Sticks, soldering irons, etc. kept beckoning Xiao Fan. Tai Yi and Zhao Tie wanted to hear Xiao Fan's screams and beg for mercy, but Xiao Fan didn't even snort from beginning to end, which made them very unhappy.

"The bones are so hard, no wonder they can defeat Dayan and Chifeng. But no matter how hard you are, tomorrow noon will be your death date, and after you die, everything will be a thing of the past!" Tai Hao said angrily through gritted teeth.

"Hahaha, Tai Yi, Zhao Tie. You two old thieves want to bite me, I'm afraid my bones will be too hard and knock your teeth!"

"Call me until dawn!"

Tae-hyun said through gritted teeth, the facial features on his face were a little distorted, looking hideous and disgusting.

On the morning of the second day, Xiao Fan was escorted by thousands of troops from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Great Song Mansion. His hair was disheveled and covered in blood, and people's eyes immediately turned red at the sight of it.

"Animal! It's not a human being, it treats General Xiao like this! How can the emperor be so unkind, we must save General Xiao, save General Xiao!"

There was a ** roar in the crowd, which immediately resonated, and the crowd ** rushed towards the army escorting Xiao Fan.

"Are you going to rebel?" The official in charge of escorting Xiao Fan was also frightened by this scene, and Se Nei drank violently.

"Don't let these people get close, kill anyone if they do!"

"Rush, save General Xiao!"

The crowd rushed up, and the soldiers with spears in the army fought with the civilians, many of whom fell in pools of blood, and many of the sergeants were trampled to death.

"Stop!" Xiao Fan burst out, and the chaotic scene immediately quieted down.

"I Xiao Fan understands everyone's intentions, but you must not be impulsive for me, please stay rational!"

"General, you can't be fine. Without you, we won't see the light of day in this empire, General!"

On the ten-mile-long street, millions of people knelt down, and many cried bitterly.

"Folks, I'm sorry! There is a saying that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. The emperor, the prime minister and the prince can't tolerate Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan can only die!"

"The emperor's injustice makes the people of the world cold, we are not husbands, and we are angry for the general!"

"Listen to Xiao Fan's words, don't act impulsively for Xiao Fan's sake but ignore his family, go back. ”

"General!"

The crying and shouting were filmed, and many people shed tears, but they still listened to Xiao Fan's words and did not make any more trouble, but quietly followed the army escorting Xiao Fan until they reached the Great Song Mansion.

After arriving at the Great Song Mansion, Xiao Fan was taken to the hall, and an obese official sat on it, and behind the screen on the right side of the hall were Zhao Tie and Tai Yan.

"Smack!" the official slapped the wood in surprise and shouted, "The traitors in the hall are not kneeling yet!"

Xiao Fan glanced at him indifferently and said, "You are not qualified to let General Ben kneel!"

"Bold, you dare to defy the court! Come, give me a hundred rods!"

Some officials in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, and no one moves.

"The official asked you to beat this bold maniac with a hundred rods, are you all deaf?"

"This ...... My lord, I think the cane is still exempt, how can I say that General Xiao is also a great hero, we should leave him some dignity. ”

"You ......" The fat official pointed at his subordinates angrily, and then took a deep breath, forced Xiao Fan to look at him, and said, "Xiao Fan, can you plead guilty?"

"General Ben is not guilty!"

"Dare to quibble! When the emperor issued gold medals in a row, it was a capital crime for you to resist and disobey the order. After that, the emperor issued a holy decree many times, but you still resisted and did not obey it. If you have disobeyed the holy decree many times, it will not be too much to punish your nine clans!"

"The general is outside, the monarch's order is not subject to it, it was an extraordinary time, of course Xiao Fan can't leave Jingzhou City!" Xiao Fan said lightly.

"Okay, what a general! I would like to ask you, in the past year, you have collected troops and horses everywhere, and you have an army of millions, have you ever received the emperor's consent, and have you ever handed over these soldiers and horses to the emperor. What are your intentions in recruiting soldiers and horses outside the country? This is clearly an intention to rebel, and the rebellious heart is known to everyone, no matter how clever you are, it will not help!"

"Haha!" Xiao Fan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and then looked at the fat official in the hall with contempt like a knife, so frightened that the official almost fell to the ground.

"If you don't collect troops and buy horses, how can you defeat the 600,000 Iron Leopard Cavalry of Dayan and the 300,000 troops of the Red Wind Empire with only the 50,000 people that the emperor gave me!"

"Xiao Fan, you still don't quibble, if you admit your guilt, you may be able to save your life, if you keep quibbling, it will only increase your guilt!"

Xiao Fan smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, the emperor and Tai Yan and Zhao Tie and others are calculating against me, and you want to impose this trumped-up charge on me, don't you just want my Xiao Fan's life?"

"Bold! You dare to slander the emperor! The emperor is kind to you, but you are not grateful, but you say such slanderous words, your heart can be punished!"

At this time, Tai Yi and Zhao Tie happened to receive a message from the emperor. Ziyang Zhenren agreed to Zhao Songhui's conditions and expressed his willingness to give up Xiao Fan and let Zhao Songhui dispose of it.

Tai Yan and Zhao Tie both sneered when they got the news, and secretly gave the official who interrogated Xiao Fan a look.

"Smack!" The official slapped the stunned wood and shouted: "Xiao Fan, your clever arguments are useless, your charges have been ironclad, and now this official has sentenced you to death, and you will be executed at noon today!"

"Hahaha! Okay! What an 'ironclad evidence'!" Xiao Fan's eyes were cold and abnormal, and he didn't say anything anymore when the words fell, and stood very quietly in the hall.

A group of officials all shook their heads and sighed, with grief and indignation in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it. They knew that the emperor, the prime minister, and the prince wanted to put Xiao Fan to death, and no one could save him.

In the palace, Princess Qingyu and Princess Yuhua rushed to the imperial study angrily and broke in directly.

"Brother Huang, what are you for?"

Princess Qingyu asked loudly with tears in her eyes.

"Imperial sister, who are you?" Emperor Zhao Songhui frowned.

"Brother Huang, do you know what I'm talking about! Why do you want to do this to General Xiao, he fought for the empire, bleeding and sweating on the battlefield. Now that Chifeng and Dayan have been defeated, and our empire is calm, Brother Huang, you are going to set up a situation to kill him, is it too ruthless and unrighteous to do so, do you want the world to spurn the Zhao family and laugh at our Zhao family!?"

Zhao Songhui's face became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Imperial sister, it's better for you not to ask about national affairs! Xiao Fan's merits are too great, and he has a large army, as long as he wants, he can break through the imperial capital city in a few days, if he doesn't die, how can my heart be at ease!?"

"Brother Huang, you are the king of a country, you should have the mind of accepting all rivers, so suspicious of heroes, when will my Zhao family's country prosper, and who else will be willing to do their best for the empire in the future?!"

"Sister is right, brother Huang, don't kill Xiao Fan, okay. Anyway, I don't care, you are not allowed to kill Xiao Fan!" Princess Yuhua said coquettishly while holding Zhao Songhui's arm.

"Okay, don't say it, I have made up my mind, Xiao Fan will be killed!" Zhao Songhui's eyes narrowed slightly, the cold light flickered, and he said loudly: "Come on, give Xiao Fan a horse of white silk, send it to the Great Song Mansion to hand it over to the prime minister, and I will allow Xiao Fan to hang himself in the Wind and Rain Pavilion to keep the whole corpse!"

"Kick and kick!" Princess Qingyu trembled, stood unsteadily, kept shaking her head, biting her lip tightly, her face wet with tears, looked at Zhao Songhui in despair, and said: "Brother Huang, you are so ruthless, Qingyu can be regarded as seeing through you - I really know you today!"

"Send the two princesses back to the palace to rest!"

"No need, let's go by ourselves!" Princess Qingyu's face was very cold, and when she left, she looked at Zhao Songhui's eyes with extremely indifference, and pulled Princess Yuhua away quickly, and did not return to the palace but rushed directly to the Great Song Mansion.

In the Great Song Mansion, Tai Yan and Zhao Tie walked out, let Xiao Fan walk out of the house, and announced in public that Xiao Fan was guilty of treason and was about to be executed at noon.

When people heard about the execution at noon today, the originally noisy scene was silent for a moment, but soon the voice of grief and indignation sounded, and the people had a tendency to **.

"Come on, quickly mobilize an army of 100,000, and kill anyone who makes trouble!"

"Yes!"

One of the generals was ordered to leave quickly, and soon a large army rushed in, forcing all the people back to both sides of the street.
