Chapter 437 A Call for Help from a Female Prisoner

"Ji Huan," Prince Rui called Zhao Ji Huan.

Zhao Jihuan entered the hall in response.

"Take these two to the execution ground," Prince Rui pointed at the two women on the ground and ordered Zhao Jihuan to say.

Zhao Jihuan took the order, called two guards from Prince Rui's residence into the hall, dragged the eldest concubine of Prince Qin's residence, and the third young mistress of the Xiao family who was still in a coma out of the hall.

"What about the corpse?" Yan Dongjin asked.

"Let's take them to the execution ground together and let the body collectors clean up," Prince Rui gave another order.

Two more guards from Prince Rui's residence came in, one dragged the half-grown boy's body, the other wrapped the flesh and blood in a cloth, carried it away in his hand.

After watching the guards finish their work, Prince Rui turned around to look at Princess Xu again.

Princess Xu's body was lying under the couch, and the two nuns were still standing beside her.

"Find a coffin and bury her," Prince Rui ordered.

The two nuns took command.

"Resurrection, let's go back to the palace," Prince Rui greeted Yan Dong again.

Yan Dongjin followed Prince Rui out of the hall, at this moment the people in Princess Xu's mansion were all dead, many corpses were piled up on the ground in front of the hall, blood mixed with rainwater, flowing all over the world.

Yan Dongjin stood under the corridor, and asked Prince Rui in a low voice: "Where are the two nuns going to bury His Royal Highness Princess Xu?"

"There is a place for dumping corpses outside the city." Prince Rui said lightly, "For the sake of her background, I will give her a coffin to rest in."

Is this grace?The corner of Yan Dongji's mouth twitched.

"What's wrong with you?" Prince Rui looked at Yan Dongjin and asked, "You think I shouldn't kill her?"

Yan Dong shook his head and said, "I don't understand these things."

Prince Rui smiled, compared to Mo Sangqing, Prince Rui's smile was rarely warm, "Go back to the palace," Prince Rui said to Yan Dong, "It's either my death or your death, my subordinates Be merciful, this is suicidal."

Yan Dongjin walked behind Prince Rui, wading through blood all the way, and left Princess Xu's Mansion, saw several soldiers take down the plaque of Princess Xu's Mansion from the gate of the Princess Mansion, and smashed the heavy plaque on the porch, Broken into two pieces, Yan Dongjin suddenly whispered to Prince Rui at this moment: "I used to think that only on the battlefield would people kill people like this."

Prince Rui turned his head to look at Yan Dongjin again, and found that Yan Dongjin was talking to him very seriously, so Prince Rui sighed, and whispered to Yan Dongjin: "I also thought that our brothers would never fight for the throne. You will die at this step."

"So this is unpredictable?" Yan Dongjin asked.

"It's not that the world is unpredictable." Prince Rui's expression contained inexplicable emotions, as if he was laughing at something, but at the same time he seemed to be resenting something, "It's because the desire for power is hard to fill."

Prince Rui walked down the steps quickly, Yan Dongjin followed Prince Rui down the steps, after the two got on the horse, the white paper lantern in front of the Princess Mansion was knocked to the ground by the soldiers.After Yan Dongjin followed Prince Rui on horseback for half a street, when he looked back, the entire Princess Xu's mansion had been plunged into darkness.

"The capital is so quiet today," Zhuang Zheng and Yan Dongjin staggered by a shoulder distance, riding behind Yan Dongjin, sighed softly.

Yan Dongjin didn't speak, until the group of them followed Prince Rui to the execution ground in the east of the city, Yan Dongjin said to Zhuang Zheng: "It won't be quiet here.

Zhuang Zhengle stopped his horse, then took a deep breath.

The people watching the execution around the execution ground had dispersed long ago, but they are still there now, except for the prisoners who are about to be executed, there are more than 30 executioners lined up on the execution platform.

A yamen servant drove a large cart carefully past them. The cart was filled with red, unidentifiable, mud-like things instead of corpses.

"Is this blood?" Yan Dongjin squinted his eyes for a long time, but couldn't see what the truck was carrying, so he couldn't help asking Prince Rui.

"This is blood mud shoveled from the execution platform," King Qi walked from the execution platform with his hands behind his back, and answered Yan Dongjin's words.

"Ah?" Yan Dongjin groaned, but still couldn't understand.

"The punishment platform is made of rammed earth." Prince Rui patiently explained to Yan Dongjin: "There is too much blood, so we have to shovel off the mud mixed with blood, otherwise it is difficult for people to stand on it."

"How many people must have been killed by this truckload of mud?" A general whispered behind Yan Dongji.

At this time, Zhuang Zheng signaled Yan Dong to look inside the prisoner.

Among the prisoners, there were a few children who were tied together with a rope, all of them were only five or six years old. Looking at their appearance, they should be the young masters of that family.Unlike the adults who were still crying, these children knelt on the ground very quietly, with their heads lowered, leaning against each other, very close.

"If the whole family is going to be killed, then of course the children will have to die too," whispered a soldier behind.

There was a sigh, but no one said that these children didn't deserve to die. It was beyond their ability to say this, and it was beyond their control.

Prince Rui got off his horse to talk to King Qi, Yan Dongjin also got off his horse.

King Qi glanced at Yan Dong, and said to Prince Rui: "You also killed our aunt Xu Guo?"

Prince Rui nodded his head.

No rain was splashed on his face, but King Qi still raised his hand to wipe his face.

Prince Rui said: "Why are there so many people?"

King Qi simply said: "There are too many people to kill."

Prince Rui said: "The people brought by Zhao Jihuan must be dealt with first."

King Qi nodded his head, and didn't ask Prince Rui if he wanted to kill the last blood of King Qin, their brothers are now at the point of immortality, so no one should say that they are merciful.

"Then I'll go back to the palace first." Prince Rui didn't plan to stay here at the execution ground, turned around and was about to leave.

There was a commotion on the execution ground at this time, maybe the ropes were not tied tightly enough, maybe it was a long time, the prisoner struggled away, a female prisoner suddenly stood up from the kneeling prisoners, and asked the nearby guards The imperial servant was busy shouting and running towards the female prisoner.

The female prisoner turned around, only then did Yan Dongjin see clearly that the woman was holding a baby in her hands.

"What's going on?" Qi Wang said angrily.

The group of prisoners that the woman was with began to consciously stop the yamen servants at this time, and the yamen servants chopped down several of them on the spot with a knife.

The cries suddenly became louder, which made Yan Dongjin a little dizzy. General Yan, who would not blink when he saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, realized that he could not see this kind of thing. He pressed people to the ground, making people Kneeling to die.

"Master Yan!" Zhuang Zheng's voice rang in his ears.

Yan Dong felt that Zhuang Zheng was dragging himself back, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the female prisoner fell in front of him somehow.

"Please," the woman fell on the rainy ground, held up the baby in her hand to Yan Dongjin, and cried, "Please."

Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the little baby, whose appearance and gender could not be seen clearly, burst into tears.

Yan Dong, who had never encountered such a thing before, stood at a loss, how would he face such a call for help?
