Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 635 Guessing and Doubt

He doesn't panic, he doesn't panic at all.

Xu Jingzong really didn't panic.

After learning that his son gave him an answer, Xu Jingzong just waited to get out of the prison and enjoy the carnival of the victor.

So what about slandering the minister?
I have backing!

However, as the days passed and the execution day came, no matter how calm Xu Jingzong was in his heart, there was still a flaw.

He started to panic.

He's really flustered now.

Why hasn't someone released him yet?

Should he be released on the execution ground?

No, no, something is wrong.

At this time, he wanted to say something, but it was too late. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the corpse, before the beheading, the yamen was afraid that the prisoner would be frightened and make noise, and the guards had already blocked Xu Jingzong's tongue.

on the execution ground.

Xu Jingzong knelt under the eyes of thousands of people, bearing abuse and contempt.The common people have no impression of Xu Jingzong, they only know that from the palace newspaper issued by the imperial court, this person is slandering the emperor and alienating the monarch and his ministers.

This alone is enough to make the people of Chang'an angry.Because the people in the pass regard the emperor as the Holy Son of Heaven, and anyone who slanders the Holy Son of Heaven is not a good thing.

More common people actually come to eat melons.Beheading this kind of thing, no matter how many times it happens, it feels very fresh.

At this time, Xu Jingzong already knew that something was wrong.But he didn't doubt his son, he suspected that Changsun Wuji had lied to his son.

He moaned and roared with his throat, wanting to remind Xue Yuanjing that he had something to say, while looking for his son.

It's a pity that he failed to do two things, neither of which.

Xue Yuanjing did hear Xu Jingzong's low growl, but he thought Xu Jingzong was begging for mercy in the end, so he didn't care at all.Furthermore, what Xu Jingzong did made him very vigilant.

This person held a grudge against Du Ruhui's words, so who can guarantee that he won't hold a grudge against himself or Xue Shou because of other words?

Back then when they took in the old people from Prince Qin's Mansion, they made a unanimous decision, and it was the same not to have Xu Jingzong.

But Xu Jingzong didn't know this. Seeing that Xue Yuanjing didn't respond, he bled with hatred in his heart, and hurriedly looked for his son's figure.

As a result, it was still not found.

Where is the son?
Lao Tzu is about to die, won't you come to deliver the decapitated meal?
At this time, Changsun Wuji was ordered to come to observe on behalf of the emperor, wait for Xu Jingzong's head to be chopped off, and then go back to report to the emperor.

Seeing Changsun Wuji swaggeringly appearing in the stands, Xu Jingzong's eyes instantly turned blood red.

The bastard gave himself up!
"Don't move!"

The muscular man holding the beheading knife grabbed Xu Jingzong's shoulder with a big hand, and obediently pressed him to kneel on the spot, unable to move.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a happy ending in a while. When I cut off the head of a Turkic man, it was a quick one. I never cut the second knife. If I kill you today, you can leave it to me with confidence. I am I won’t cut you a second time, but with one cut, you will end your pain.”

The muscular man seemed to be proud, chattering to Xu Jingzong about his glorious record of beheading prisoners over the years.

Xu Jingzong: "."

in the stands.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "This guy seems to be resisting."

"People who are dying are all the same." Xue Yuanjing said disdainfully: "You don't know, until he went to the execution ground, this guy still looked like he was going to die calmly. When he was about to die, he was still afraid. Facts have proved that no one Not afraid of death, Xu Jingzong is the same."

Changsun Wuji nodded with a smile, but he was thinking to himself; he was not afraid of death, but he was deceived by his son.

But to be honest, Changsun Wuji didn't think that Xu Jingzong trusted his son too much. It wasn't until this moment that he went to the execution ground to find out that something was wrong.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji felt that he was going wrong again.Because, no one could believe that the son would betray his father and kill him with his own hands.

This is not human, this is animal behavior.

Who could have imagined that?

When the time came, Xue Yuanjing ordered beheading.

The muscular man raised his sword, the blade glowing coldly in the sun.

At this moment, Xu Jingzong was still struggling without giving up. When he was dying, he realized something. His son's absence today might have something to do with his being killed.

Could it be that his son betrayed himself?
Thinking of this, his train of thought suddenly stopped, and then he felt his eyes spinning, and finally heard a 'bang' from his ear, he saw the proud muscular man, and also saw a headless corpse.

That seems to be your own?

At this point, Xu Jingzong's thoughts stopped.

The muscular man looked at the dead head with a very indifferent expression.He had chopped off countless heads, and he had already gotten used to it.Compared to this, what makes him most happy is getting the beheading fee later.

Beheading criminals for the court, one hundred dollars per head.

Sometimes, he even wanted to cut prisoners every day.

The common people applauded, as if they were applauding the muscular macho's clean and neat technique.

It wasn't until he saw Xu Jingzong's head being chopped off that Changsun Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up, greeted Xue Yuanjing, and left the execution ground.

For him, the battlefield here is over.

The winner is him.

This incident was a great lesson for him.The next time he does something, he will definitely not be so careless again.

Almost capsized!
political affairs hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong has surrendered." Changsun Wuji bowed and reported.

Li Zhiyun put down the memorandum and glanced at Du Ruhui. The latter did not change his face, and continued to deal with government affairs with his head down, as if he hadn't heard.

"understood."

"Yes, I retire."

Xu Jingzong's death was nothing worth noting to Li Zhiyun.The only thing worthy of his attention is that the person Xu Jingzong framed is related to his arm, Du Ruhui.For the rest, he didn't really care.

Xue Shou said: "This Xu Jingzong is so bold."

"Isn't it?" Li Shuliang said, "It's so daring to spread rumors about court ministers for nothing."

Xue Shou thought: "In this case, this Xu Jingzong is still an idiot."

Li Zhiyun glanced at Xue Shou and said, "Xue Xiang means that there may be someone behind Xu Jingzong?"

"I don't dare to speak nonsense." Xue Shou said: "I just find it strange that if he hates Du Xiang because of what Du Xiang said back then, then in his capacity, if he wants to take revenge, he should take a sure-fire strategy. But this time, I can't see it. It's a bit like making trouble for Du Xiang."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui raised his head, his eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

Having said that, the several prime ministers did not speak any more.Because if you continue to talk, you will inevitably wonder who is instigating Xu Jingzong behind his back.

Here lies the problem, can someone who dares to deal with Du Ruhui be an ordinary person?
If you continue to investigate, there may be a big mess.

Li Zhiyun rubbed the pen lightly, his mind became serious.It's not that he hasn't considered this possibility before, but he also has a little consideration in his heart.

It's not that he is afraid of anyone, but that if the person who is finally found out will cause turmoil in the court, it will be a bit of a loss.

It was not easy for the imperial court to come out of the disaster, and this year's recovery was not bad, he really didn't want to cause trouble at this time.

Moreover, Wei Zheng sits in the Ministry of Officials and streamlines the structure of officials all the year round, which has already made some officials feel uneasy. If something is found out at this time, it will not be conducive to the stability of the overall situation.
