Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 345 Fell Twice

Xiao Linglong sits high on a dragon chair, with hundreds of officials standing below. Zhao Kang, as the national master, is in the first place on the left, and Xiao Xuance is in the first place on the right.

Compared to the past, there was a large vacancy above the court. This was because officials, big and small, who had colluded with Prince Ning's rebellion were now all in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for the moment of questioning.

There was no so-called court meeting at all. Xiao Linglong opened her mouth and passed on appointments one after another.

"Yang Qian, formerly a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, will be appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry starting today."

"Liu Jian'an, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, serves as the left deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards of Fusi, North Town, with a rank of fourth."

"The chief supervisor of Shangyi Supervisor, Wen Jinling serves as the right deputy commander of Fusi Jinyi Guards in Beizhen."

"Fang Shao, the former chief eunuch and chief eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies, serves as the commander-in-chief of the Fusi Jinyi Guards in Beizhen."

"Beizhen Fusi was established and the imperial capital Beicheng was controlled by the commander-in-chief Fang Shao. There were five guards under it. The commander-in-chief was the general banner of thousands of households and hundreds of households. The small banner was dedicated to managing the imperial edicts. There was an east factory inside, and a stick office was established to collect intelligence. , supervise all officials. Fang Shao is responsible for them all..."

Appointments were issued one after another to fill the vacancies of officials and promote fresh blood.

Everyone was alert and paying attention to the newly appointed officials, especially those Jinyiwei officials who were affiliated with Beizhen Fusi. Anyone who mishandled them might be caught by these guys.

Then we will be in trouble.

All appointments were declared, and no one dared to object.

Xiao Linglong hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhao Kang. When he nodded, she could only say: "The rebels who followed King Ning's rebellion, Zhou Muyuan, Chang Kai, Lu Xueying..."

"All officials who participated in the rebellion will be beheaded today, under the supervision of the National Preceptor Zhao Kang!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Zhao Kang, a little unbelievable that King Ning's rebellion was over.

But Xiao Feiyu, the leader of the thieves, had escaped. At this time, Zhao Kang was actually asked to supervise the execution. Wouldn't that give Xiao Feiyu a chance to take revenge?

Zhao Kang didn't say anything. He stood up and saluted: "I obey your order."

The meeting is over.

The imperial army left the imperial city in a mighty manner, and Zhao Kang rode a tall horse to the center of the execution ground.

Just by looking at this formation, the common people already knew what was going to happen next, and they came to the outside of the execution ground to watch the excitement.

They all saw the notice a few days ago. King Ning's rebellion was followed by many people, and he would definitely be beheaded today.

Looking at the crowds of people outside the execution ground, Zhao Kang said: "Bring the prisoners together."

"Take the prisoner!"

Someone shouted, and soon dozens of officials were brought up and escorted to kneel on the execution ground. Among them was a woman wearing a blue dress, with her head lowered and her long hair disheveled, and her appearance was beautiful.

The people watching on the periphery couldn't help but sigh.

"Why can't such a beautiful girl think about rebelling?"

Zhao Kang closed his eyes and waited quietly, but there was nothing unusual in the field for a quarter of an hour.

Opening his eyes and meeting a pair of pupils, the other party just shook his head, and Zhao Kang sighed.

This guy has learned a lot.

Throwing out the command arrow, he said: "Execution."

The executioner immediately picked up the long knife and waved it in the frightened eyes of the rebel officials, and countless exclamations were heard.

Blood splattered everywhere, heads rolled, and the entire execution ground became like Shura Hell.

People's faces turned pale when they saw it, and they didn't know why these people insisted on coming to join in the fun, and they were not afraid that they would not be able to sleep at night.

"Your Majesty, the execution is over." The executioner turned around and reported.

Zhao Kang hummed: "Dispose of the body." After the execution, Zhao Kang didn't even wait for Xiao Feiyu to show up, so he was naturally a little disappointed.

On the way back, the common people were still talking to others about today's execution scene.

After returning to life, Zhao Kang left the palace, and Wu Rulong and others in disguise were waiting outside the palace early.

Seeing him coming out, he went to greet him. Wu Rulong said helplessly: "Master, it seems that Xiao Feiyu is more cautious than you thought."

Zhao Kang said indifferently: "It's possible that we have already known that Lu Xueying is dead, forget it. It's just a simple trap."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't come."

Wu Xin walked to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and saw a child sitting at the door. Zhao Kang stepped forward with some suspicion. The child looked at him warily and said, "Sir, are you the owner of this mansion?"

Zhao Kang looked at the other person. He looked like an ordinary child in plain clothes. He nodded and said, "Not bad. Are you okay?"

"An adult asked me to give this to you." The child quickly took out a piece of white paper from his arms.

Zhao Kang's heart skipped a beat, and when he opened it, his eyes suddenly darkened.

"What's wrong?" Wu Rulong came forward and asked, his eyes falling on the paper.

There was only one line of words on the paper.

"You win this round, but I, Xiao Feiyu, will not fall twice for the same person. Xueying's revenge will be avenged one day!"

"This guy is in the imperial capital!" Wu Tianhu looked at Zhao Kang's gloomy expression with stern eyes.

Zhao Kang put away the letter and looked at the timid child. He smiled: "Little guy, when did the person who asked you to deliver the letter to me give the letter to you?"

"In the morning." The child replied cautiously.

Zhao Kang asked again: "What happened next? Where did he go?"

As he spoke, he also took out a few copper coins.

"I see he has left the city. He also said that if you ask, let me tell you that he will come back to you one day." The child stared at the copper plate in Zhao Kang's hand, and his eyes lit up.

"Okay, I know."

Zhao Kang nodded and put the copper plate back into his arms. The angry child cursed in his heart.

Return to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Zhao Kang asked someone to make tea, and Wu Rulong clicked his tongue and said: "National Master, this is not going to be easy."

If Xiao Feiyu is really in the imperial capital, then Zhao Kang and others are undoubtedly in a dangerous situation.

And as the emperor of Jingguo, it was impossible for him to follow Zhao Kang like a bodyguard every day.

Zhao Kang shook his head and said: "No problem, this guy should have really left."

"Are you so sure?" Wu Tianhu was confused.

Zhao Kang hummed: "He is completely defeated now. Even if he kills me, he will not be able to get the throne back. He is also an extremely conceited person."

"What he wants most right now is actually not to kill me, but to prepare me to suffer a complete defeat like him, destroying his family and destroying his family. But he cannot do this on his own, so he is probably planning to seek foreign help."

"Zhou State and Qi State?" Wu Rulong narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Kang smiled: "The possibility is very small. Qi State's current national strength is relatively weak. Although Zhou State still has the strength to fight, it is not something he can control."

"Then where will this guy go?"

Zhao Kang sighed: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the Lu Xueying next to him. I always feel that this guy has a different feeling for Lu Xueying, and we have never heard of such a young and powerful woman before. Isn’t it?”
