Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 84
The red electric horse is still six feet away from the execution platform.

Immediately, he was still galloping towards the stage!In the blink of an eye, he swept across the stage coldly, and then swung his ape arm, and the drawn sword flew straight into the bearded chest like a flash of neon...

Blood splattered on the high platform!
The thick and bearded body fell to the ground with a bang, pointing at the owner of the sword: "Xiao, Xiao Huai, you accuse me..."

Before he finished speaking, he leaned back, unable to move.

Xiao Huai reined in his horse and stopped on the high platform, occupying the commanding heights, staring down at Chen Xiu's corpse amidst the neighing of the horse.

"Congratulations, son!"

He Lanzhun bowed and shouted.

The soldiers and guards all knelt down on one knee, and the people fell down.

The vegetable market, which was still crowded with people just now, suddenly has a wider field of vision because of everyone's prostration.

Xiao Huai got off the ground immediately, took the cleaned sword from the guard and put it into its sheath, and walked towards the execution platform.

On the way to turn around, he took advantage of the opportunity to sweep towards He Lanzhun's station, and his eyes fell on Shen Xi who was standing beside him. His steps slowed down slightly, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy.

But he didn't stop, but glanced at it and moved his gaze forward, continuing to move in the direction he wanted.

Shen Xi didn't float up until now with one breath.

From the moment she saw clearly the face of the Prince Yan's son, her heart couldn't help sinking.

The commoner who appeared in Lu'er Hutong and Qingshi Town one after another, whom she once mistook for a Helian man, was actually the heir of Prince Yan's mansion who shocked the world in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
This can understand why he didn't kill her in the small alley.

Their Xiao family holds soldiers and horses from all over the world, and they are his eyes and ears everywhere. How could she be a weak woman in his eyes?

Even if he escaped at that time, how could he escape from his palm?I'm afraid that he has already investigated clearly who is her last name.

She had an inexplicable trust in him when he was still a commoner.

But at the moment it is no longer possible, she has re-raised her vigilance and vigilance against him.

He Lanzhun withdrew his body and looked at Shen Xi in front of him, and said in a warm voice: "Tie Chen is a key criminal of the imperial court. He has a hidden weapon in his mouth, and he aimed the weapon at the girl. In order to deal with the business, I have to wrong the girl to move. After the execution , I will record a confession when I go back to the Yamen next time."

Shen Xi paused.Looking at him, he said: "Your Excellency, I have absolutely nothing to do with this prisoner."

He Lanzhun raised his lips slightly, looked at her and said nothing.

Xiao Huai was already seated on the chair in the center of the supervisory platform.

Looking at the two people talking under the execution platform, he moved his gaze forward again.

It seemed that he didn't care why Shen Xi was there or why He Lanzhun was with her.

One of the seven guillotines in front was empty, and Chen Xiu's body had been cleaned up.The people around the audience started to discuss again.

Execution also depends on the time, which not only proves that this is the law of the king, but also like the full meal that the death row prisoner eats before going to the execution ground, it is a comfort to both parties to a certain extent.

But the arrival of Prince Yan's son forcefully broke this rule, and no one said there was anything wrong with him.

No one dared to say that he was wrong.

Because the entire Great Zhou except the imperial palace is not outside their sphere of influence of King Yan's Mansion, there is no place in the whole world that King Yan can't set foot in!

But Yan Wang has only this one son.

In the eyes of King Yan and his son, Wang Fa is nothing but a fake, or they have too much privilege, in short, you can only look up.

Xiao Huai stared forward with his chin propped up, letting all kinds of remarks come into his ears.

"Master Helan."

A servant beside him bowed out of the way.

He Lanzhun went to the chair on the left and sat down, and the servant served tea.

Immediately afterwards, a yamen servant came over and said: "The hour is approaching, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice has also arrived at Caishikou. Please show me."

Xiao Huai took his own tea in his hand, without raising his head, he raised his index finger, and Su Yan said: "When everyone is here, we will prepare for execution!"

Xiao Huai looked down the execution platform, and saw Shen Xi and Aunt Pei being led by the guards to the back of the supervision platform.

The heir and important ministers of King Yan's Mansion were here, and Shen Xi knew that he had to deal with Zhou Xuan.

She and Aunt Pei followed the guards and sat down at the corner behind the execution platform.

In the distance, the voice of the herald reading the sentence was soon heard, and it was hard to see what happened.

Shen Xi felt a little grateful for He Lanzhun's arrangement.

She was not used to watching these scenes, and she couldn't see blood splashed on the spot by people who had nothing to do with her.Back then when he and Xu Jing stole the execution ground, they didn't see that scene either.

If it was someone who hurt her, she would seize the opportunity to do it without hesitation, but you don't know the crime of a person you don't know, how can you bear it all of a sudden?

But she was troubled, because she would follow them to the Zhongjun Yamen later.

Xiao Huai... that bearded man, is that his name?

Aunt Pei said that King Yan's name was Xiao Fang, so Xiao Huai must have called his son.

The son of King Yan who she saw before could make the common people kneel and shout, is so different from the him she saw!
Before, he was casual, casual, and completely indifferent to the world.

But right now on the supervisory platform, he is aloof, condensed, unattainable, and intimidating everywhere.

Besides, it was different from her idea of ​​King Yan's son before he showed up.

She thought that no matter how powerful a vassal prince's mansion was, it would not be as powerful as the ones she knew, but she was obviously wrong. The Yan prince's mansion in Dazhou actually looked like their real ruling king!
She suddenly remembered the information she had heard from Pearl and the others in their usual gossip.

Li Ding, the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was originally the deputy governor of Datong Prefecture. Twenty years ago, he suddenly united with Tuoba officers in the southwest, southeast, and various places to raise troops in place.

Today's Empress Dowager Zheng was Li Ding's concubine back then. For some reason, she has been with the army, so her status is different.

After eight years of war, Li Ding's original spouse, Mrs. Chen, was registered as a queen after the kingdom was established. At that time, there were not many concubines in the palace, and there were more than a dozen high and low.

But the most favored is still the Zheng family who has been canonized as a noble concubine.

Concubine Zheng, because of her wisdom and bravery, helped Li Ding make many decisions when the Lu family attacked Beijing, and she was able to conquer people's hearts. Therefore, even after the kingdom was established, she often shared Li Ding's worries in the Palace of Qinzheng.

But obviously no one in the harem would be happy to see Zheng's favorite.

In particular, Empress Chen's position became more and more embarrassing.

So after experiencing a palace battle that was unknown to outsiders, Empress Chen passed away in the fifth year of Jiankang, and the remaining prince was also abolished the following year.

In the next few years, most of the princes in the harem who were older than the princes born to the Empress Dowager Zheng died for no reason. Until the eighth year of Jiankang, Zheng's son Li Xu was established as the crown prince, and Zheng Guifei was also named the imperial concubine. It's over.

Today, Li Ding only has three surviving princes, and one of them is Emperor Zhaoqing who is now on the throne of the dragon.

The other two were both crowned princes, but one went to Yunnan and the other to Guangxi.

Those concubines who have children will follow their sons, and those who have no children will retire to the West Palace to take care of them.

Speaking of which, the only one who stayed in the capital was Yan Wang, a vassal king with a different surname.

In the current situation where there are only Empress Dowager Zheng's orphans and widows in the palace, it is self-evident what the existence of King Yan's Mansion means to Da Zhou.
