Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 312 Preparing for Execution (Part [-])
Old Hei asked him to ignore the government, perhaps because he knew that he was not good enough in this aspect. How can the loyalty, treachery, goodness and evil of officials be explained by one thing?What's more, the emperor, with Wu Chen's historical knowledge, there are only a few ancient emperors who can be said. Are the remaining hundreds of emperors not good enough or not bad enough?
Wu Chen's sympathy at this moment is because he understands Li Heng's fatigue at this moment. A high-ranking emperor is actually besieged on all sides. On the one hand, he wants to strengthen the country, but on the other hand, he has to beware of someone stabbing him in the back. If his closest relatives are not trustworthy, who else can he trust?Is the road to a strong country so easy to walk?
"The bodies of the two of them probably won't be able to sustain a few stabs. I have already ordered that Chen Zhong and Yuan Shuchun be punished with eight stabs. In this way, you don't have to worry about them being able to last past noon. Just now, someone came to report that Chen Zhong was out of water, and Yuan Shuchun was so frightened that he went crazy. You just need to see if they have left, and you can go to the palace to have a closer look at night..."

Li Heng said with a long sigh, and said:
"Today is the day of the massacre. I always want to find something happy to celebrate. You have contributed a lot this time. The fifth princess has also reached the age of marriage. Since you don't want to be the prince's teacher, it is not a loss to you to be a son-in-law..."

The sympathy in Wu Chen's heart disappeared in an instant. His eyebrows almost stood up, and he asked, "Is the fifth princess your own?"

Li Heng was also anxious: "The fifth princess is the first daughter of me and the queen!"

"Since it's your own, you pushed her into the fire pit? You don't know what I do? I have a dead body that has not been cured, you forgot? I said that I might die under the claws of evil ghosts someday. Do you think I'm joking?"

Li Heng was stunned.

"Firstly, I am not full of knowledge, secondly, I do not have a distinguished family, and thirdly, I do not have military exploits. I am neither suave nor elegant. I deal with ghosts all day long. What is the difference between me and that witch and warlock? You... well, I have told you before that my long-cherished wish in life is to travel all over the world and do my best to send away the ghosts and ghosts in this world. I will not get married, let alone have children!"

Li Heng looked at Wu Chen inquiringly, and asked, "Are you thinking about Chen Nanzhu?"

"If I miss her, I can be a real husband and wife in Anping County! Do I have to wait until the capital to marry?"

"you……"

"You're just used to hearing other people's hypocrisy. Literati like to say things in a bad way. They have to beat around the bush. It's best not to say a single word in the whole sentence, but the meaning is the same. I'm not like that. I'll just say what I think. It's impossible to say 'you must'"

After hearing this, Li Heng waved his hands irritably and said, "Go to prison first, this matter...the future will last forever."

Wu Chen didn't bother to say much, so he turned around and left the hall.

……

Wu Chen thought about all kinds of execution scenes. He once thought that this kind of criminal law would not be revealed in front of too many people. He only introduced the punishment of criminals to the outside world. The execution would be carried out quietly in the prison. After all, it was too cruel.

But the meaning of watching Gu Shiming in the morning is that someone should watch the sentence. He thought it was just a trick to scare the chickens and monkeys, and arranged for some officials to watch the sentence.

When he followed the guards to the execution place, he couldn't help but gasp.

This is a street intersection, Wu Chen recognized that it was not far from the Detective Department, and there were not many people passing by on weekdays, but at this time it was full of people, crowded and very lively.

The guards led Wu Chen into the crowd, and they didn't forget to introduce to Wu Chen: "The minister of Dali Temple, the governor of Kyoto, the doctor of Yushitai, the minister of the Six Departments, oh, give me a break, anyway, all the officials who can come are here."

Wu Chen followed behind without saying a word, he didn't want to know any of these people.

The two managed to squeeze in, only then did Wu Chen see that even Chen Zhong and Yuan Shuchun had arrived.

At this time, Chen Zhong stretched out his arms and was tied to the wooden pillar, and his legs were also tied to the wooden pillar with his legs spread apart. His silver hair was fluttering in the wind, and Wu Chen couldn't even see his expression clearly.

Yuan Shuchun was also tied up, but he was gagged because he kept screaming, and now he is struggling hard.

Wu Chen sighed. He had said more than once through gritted teeth that people like Chen Zhong and Yuan Shuchun would be sorry for those who died at their hands, but at this moment, Wu Chen couldn't feel relieved.

The onlookers around were very excited. They were not afraid of the cold wind, and their faces were filled with excited expressions, as if they couldn't wait to see the bloody scene.

The guards led Wu Chen through the crowd to the execution ground, and all the officials stood up.

Wu Chen ignored those officials, but went straight to Chen Zhong, looked him up and down, and then said in a low voice:
"Until now, I don't know why you did this. Based on what I know about you, I don't believe it if you say it's for the family. No matter what, Li Yi already left last night. Winner and loser, you go too. No matter what happens after reincarnation, I think it's better than this life."

Chen Zhong raised his drooping head slowly, looked at Wu Chen mockingly, and said, "You think you'll be on the rise from now on?"

Wu Chen chuckled and said:

"You still have time to worry about my affairs, and it's hard for you. You are a poor person, but you have taken a path you shouldn't have taken. You deserve what happened today. As for me, the biggest difference between me and you is that I have no greed!"

"Then what will happen to you? If you show your skills, you will soon be spotted by others, and you will become their prey..."

"Still worrying about me!" Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want, scream twice when it hurts, don't hold back, leave as soon as you die, I'm ready to take your things, don't let me have a chance to use them."

Chen Zhong smiled ferociously, and said, "I'm waiting to see you being torn to pieces by that old witch in the palace!"

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you telling me that you don't intend to leave?"

Chen Zhongyin looked at Wu Chen with a smile.

Wu Chen didn't talk nonsense, reached out and took a handful out of his bosom, and spread it around Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhongdeng panicked: "What are you doing?"

Wu Chen walked up to Chen Zhong again, and said expressionlessly:
"Yuan Shuchun, I don't have to worry, he will definitely leave. You, I don't worry. Don't you like five-color jade? I sprinkled some around you. Don't ask me where I got it. You still have a lot of skills that you haven't seen! There are five-color jade around you. If you refuse to leave, you will be trapped here. I can see you. You know. At that time, I will order people to build a wall here, fix the five-color jade firmly in the wall, and then order someone to guard, and you can be here. , always here, floating!"

Chen Zhong's face was extremely pale, and he tremblingly said: "You really forgot that I was the one who supported you?!"
