Chapter 76

Take away everything from the Jiang family

"Kill him."

Someone grabbed a sharp stone and smashed it hard on Jiang Jianzheng's head. With a bang, blood flowed from Jiang Jianzheng's forehead.

Jiang Zhiyu frowned slightly, slowly raised his handsome face, and looked at the common man who grabbed the stone and wanted to throw it.

Somehow.

When the man met Jiang Zhiyu's eyes that were so clear that they seemed to cleanse all the filth in the world, he stammered and threw the stone to the ground.

Then.

All kinds of things were thrown at Mrs. Jiang and her mother and daughter.

“Ahh…”

Jiang Fuxiao usually liked to dress herself up beautifully and luxuriously, but now she was covered with dirty things and the stench was so strong that she felt so sick that she screamed and struggled hysterically.

Jiang Fuqin knelt beside her, listening to her sister's crying. She frowned slightly, and knelt quietly, holding up her weak body.

No matter what those people threw at her, she endured it silently, but when she looked up at the black mass of people like ants below, there was a hint of contempt in her eyes.

Mrs. Jiang swayed left and right, trying to dodge, but there were too many things thrown at her and she couldn't hide at all. All kinds of smells mixed together, and mucus flowed down her neck into her clothes, almost making her faint.

"Father, how are you?"

Seeing that half of Jiang Jianzheng's face was covered in blood, Jiang Zhiyu's eyes were filled with sadness.

But Jiang Jianzheng was surprisingly calm. Not only did he endure it all silently, but he also looked up into the distance, towards the sky.

Jiang Zhiyu was stunned.

Also looked up at the sky.

Perhaps it was because of the bond between father and son, there was a glimmer of hope in both of their eyes.

"Father, if my sister is really dead, then it doesn't matter if we die. At least in the underworld, we can still be reunited as a family, right?"

"kindness."

Jiang Jianzheng nodded slightly.

Turn your head.

He looked at his son deeply, his eyes full of regret and guilt.

Zhiyu has absorbed the good luck again, and everything will go smoothly from then on. He will surely be a dragon among men, and may even be promoted to a high-ranking official.

Because his fate is equally precious.

But if it is really his life, then he shouldn't die today!

"Zhiyu, if you can escape this disaster, you must work hard to climb up."

Stand in the position that your destiny should lead you to not be shaken by others at will.

Although Jiang Jianzheng said this, when he looked up at the sky, there was deep confusion in his eyes. He was a little confused about destiny.

"Father, I know what you are talking about. But if this really comes to an end, it doesn't matter. I will still be your son in the next life."

Listening to Jiang Zhiyu's choked words, Jiang Jianzheng's heart and mouth were filled with bitterness. He looked at his son and shook his head gently.

"No, don't be my son. I've let you down enough. In your next life, I hope you'll be born into a wealthy family, have a loving father and a loving mother, and live a free, happy and healthy life."

"The time has come."

Someone shouted.

The noisy sound suddenly quieted down.

The slightly cool wind suddenly blew faster, swirling in front of Jiang Zhiyu, making him close his eyes with a bitter smile.

The executioner held up a large knife that was stained with countless blood and shone with a cold light, and pointed it at their necks. Every time the knife got closer, a trace of chill would pierce into their necks.

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Fuxiao were so frightened that they screamed and cried.

Jiang Fuqin lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, not crying or making a fuss, and even had an incomprehensible bitter smile on her face.

The crowd was surging.

Madam Song, Song Chengyu, Song Mingji, and Song Qinghuan were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and were escorted by servants to the front row.

Came with them.

There was Rong Yan, the senior palace maid beside Empress Song, Eunuch Yu, the apprentice of Eunuch Chen beside the Emperor, Chen Zhong, the deputy general manager of the Imperial Household Department, as well as some eunuchs and tall guards, who seemed to have come here to protect them.

This time, Mrs. Song was very proud and smiling.

The guards cleared the way and protected them all in the front. Song Chengyu looked coldly at the row of Jiang family members kneeling above and let out a long sigh.

In his original plan, he did not want to kill the Jiang family. He thought that as long as Jiang Zhaoying was obedient and handed over all the things, it would be fine if Jiang Zhaoying died.

But these people are too ungrateful and insist on going against him, so let them die together.

It would be good for everyone to have a companion on the road to the underworld.

"Sir, although he is cruel and cruel to innocent people, he is still my father-in-law. Please allow me to go up and have a few words with him."

Song Chengyu had a sad look on his face as he stepped forward and saluted. The executioner knew that they were of noble birth, so he raised his hand and let them go. Song Chengyu then slowly walked up the steps and squatted in front of Jiang Jianzheng.

"father in law."

There was so much sarcasm in these two words that Song Chengyu couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You can go with peace of mind, we will reunite as a family..."

Speaking of.

Song Chengyu took out a piece of white satin covered with words from her bosom, and as she spoke, she walked around behind Jiang Jianzheng, grabbed his bound wrists, and pulled out his thumb.

"I will take good care of Jiang Zhaoying's dowry, and I will also take over all the assets of your Jiang family."

Jiang Jianzheng's eyes sharpened and he wanted to clench his fist, but how could Song Chengyu miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? She even broke Jiang Jianzheng's fingers, and after printing the color, she pressed his hand heavily on the document.

Then.

The ecstasy in Song Chengyu's eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Thank you very much, father-in-law."

After getting what he wanted, Song Chengyu didn't say any more words to him. He stood up and slowly returned to his original position.

When they looked at Rongyan and Madam Song, they all pursed their lips.

Jiang Jian was looking at Song Chengyu coldly. Song Chengyu deliberately waved the thing in his hand in front of him, then folded it and put it in his arms.

"cut!"

When the time came, the token was thrown heavily to the ground.

A shout of anger.

The long sword is raised high.

The cold light swept across everyone present, and the chill burst out from the depths of their hearts.

The executioner raised his knife and roared. The knife, with a strong sinister meaning, drew an arc and chopped fiercely at the neck of the Jiang family.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

"stop!"

Shen Liuguang flew onto the stage and kicked the executioner's wrist, causing the sword to fall to the ground with a clang.

Then.

The cavalry rushed forward aggressively to clear a path, and the common people retreated to both sides in a hurry. The cavalry was extremely fast and seemed domineering, but no common people were injured.

A large carriage with the emblem of the Prince's Palace came towards the execution platform. The tall, snow-white horses moved slowly forward, but inexplicably gave people a sense of oppression as if cavalry were marching on the sand.

The executioner's face changed drastically. He stood up hurriedly, led everyone off the stage, and led the people to kneel down together.

"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The carriage was quiet, but there was a sense of hostility flowing in it. Cheng Ting'an stepped forward.

"Everyone, get up!"

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

The executioner had never seen a big shot in his life. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here in person, he couldn't stop trembling as he spoke. Cheng Ting'an walked up to him.

"Your Highness wants to take the people away and untie them."

"ah."

The executioner was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and frowned.

"But, but the time has come, it's time to start the beheading."

The wind blew over, and the emblem of the Prince's Mansion on the carriage fluttered. Cheng Tingan frowned.

"The East Palace will take care of it. Why are you nagging? Untie me."

The executioner immediately stood up trembling, and waved his hand to let the people below untie them.

Mrs. Jiang and the others showed ecstasy on their faces, and Jiang Fuxiao even stared at the Crown Prince's car with a dazed look.

Madam Song glanced at Eunuch Yu. Eunuch Yu stepped forward, raised the token in his hand, and rebuked in a sinister and gentle voice.

"I am a member of the emperor's close circle. The emperor is worried that the beheading will not go smoothly, so he ordered me to come and watch quietly. This Jiang family member must be beheaded today."

After saying.

Eunuch Yu's eyes gradually became sharper. When they swept across and landed on the Crown Prince's carriage, he immediately bowed forward and bowed deeply.

"Your Highness, there was an earthquake in Qingshan Town, and countless civilians were killed and injured. The cause was Jiang Jianzheng and Jiang Zhaoying. The Emperor was furious and wanted to behead the Jiang family in public. Why is Your Highness interested in watching the beheading?"

Eunuch Yu said this with a smile, but his feminine face was slightly tilted.

immediately.

The inner court guards not far away rushed over together.

Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an looked slightly fierce, and the guards behind them naturally rushed forward.

The two teams immediately confronted each other, and the murderous atmosphere between them became increasingly intense.

Eunuch Yu let out a light sigh, then slowly raised his head and smiled at the Crown Prince's carriage.

They came today with full preparation, to supervise the execution on behalf of the emperor. Even the princes and nobles would not be able to stop them.

Empress Song has done him a favor, so this time he will definitely help Empress Song fulfill her wish. As long as Prince Yunzhong gains power and Prince Song gets what he wants, his status in the palace will rise in the future and no one will be able to match him.

"Your Highness, the Emperor already knows the cause and effect of the earthquake, and he also knows the rumor that one of the reasons for the earthquake was because of a single word."

Because of the word "Qi", His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's name is Sheng Tianqi, and the town was originally called Qishan Town!

Uncle Yu stopped at the right time.

There is another reason why I dare to confront His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The current crown prince is not the current queen's biological son. The queen's two sons are Prince Yueming and Princess Lin'an. So Eunuch Yu thought that Queen He would never be willing to watch the crown prince occupy this position. In her heart, Prince Yueming should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He pledged his allegiance to Empress Song in advance, and secretly showed goodwill to Empress He and King Yue Ming, which left himself a good way out.

Eunuch Yu's words were slow and feminine, but they successfully made the people look resentful and angry.

That's what I said.

The earthquake is also related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also one of the people who harmed them.

Shen Liuguang listened to the provocation in his words, and looked at the people's eyes that began to change slightly. His brows furrowed, and his hand unconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword.

Eunuch Yu saw this and smiled.

“Why, Commander Shen, our words are too true, do you want to silence us?”

Several eyes immediately moved to Shen Liuguang, who was furious, but for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he did not dare to act rashly, and just looked at Eunuch Yu and spoke in a cold voice.

"Eunuch Yu, trouble comes from your mouth."

Eunuch Yu let out a long "oh" and gently stroked the red ribbon hanging from his hat, his smile getting deeper and deeper. He didn't even look at Shen Liuguang, but the smile on his face got deeper and deeper.

According to Shen Liuguang's temper, if he really dared to do it, he would have come to kill himself long ago.

Then.

He pointed at the densely packed crowd of people below and raised his face with a slightly aloof look.

"The emperor said that since you are in this position, you should take the people into consideration. How can you cause a divine punishment and take the lives of countless people just because of a single word?"

"Eunuch Yu, do you know how many people were killed or injured in Qingshan Town?"

Cheng Ting'an held the sword and asked Eunuch Yu in a cold voice, and Eunuch Yu shook his head.

"We don't know the exact number, but we heard that there were countless casualties and blood flowed like a river, and all of this was related to the Prince's Mansion and the Jiang Mansion. Besides, it was an earthquake, and there was nowhere to escape. How could more than half of them have died?"

After saying this, Eunuch Yu turned around and smiled at the executioner.

"The time has come, what are you waiting for?"

The executioner trembled all over and looked up at the prince's carriage. The carriage looked quiet, but the executioner, who had been killing people for years and had seen all kinds of blood, could immediately feel the strong murderous intent in the carriage.

"Hurry up and kill these culprits."

The common people began to get anxious again. When the executioner saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not react, he stood up with weak legs and returned to the platform. He picked up the token on the ground and was about to throw it away when he looked cautiously towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's carriage, bowed and asked.

"Your Highness, should I kill him or not?"

"kill!"

A cold voice came from the carriage.

The executioner shouted angrily in panic and threw the token in front of Jiang Jianzheng.

The executioner raised his sword again.

Click.

With a wave of his hand and a fall of the knife, a head rolled down, and blood drew an arc. The farther the head rolled, the farther the blood splattered.

Mrs. Song's family, Rongyan and others covered their faces in fear, but the blood still splashed on the backs of their hands, in their hair, and on their clothes. They were so frightened that they hurriedly took out their handkerchiefs and started wiping it continuously.

The people brought by Eunuch Yu all knelt on the ground, not daring to speak. The executioner's eyes turned, and he immediately stepped forward to personally untie Jiang Jianzheng and helped him up.

Then.

He even had someone personally help Jiang Jianzheng down from the platform.

Shen Liuguang looked at the people below.

"My prince said that since we are citizens of Daye, we should be clear-headed, know right from wrong, and understand reason, instead of being swayed by the wind and being easily deceived. If you want to know the final outcome of this matter, please go to the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple is open for trial today."

Jiang Jianzheng led everyone to kowtow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before getting on the carriage.

In the carriage.

Jiang Zhiyu wanted to wipe the blood off Jiang Jianzheng's forehead, but Jiang Jianzheng gently stopped him and said softly.

"Although I know you are not destined to die here, I don't know what will happen next. You have to be careful."

"I know, don't worry, father."

Jiang Zhiyu was slightly startled, then realized that his father wanted to keep the bloodstain, so he put away the handkerchief.

His eyebrows were cold and his body was sitting straight. His temperament was completely different from before.

Jiang Jianzheng looked at his son who had returned to normal. He knew he should comfort him, but he couldn't be happy.

The gate of the Dali Temple was indeed open.

When getting off the carriage.

Jiang Zhiyu glanced at the door, where more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were neatly arranged. He took in the logos of various carriage companies. He supported Jiang Jianzheng and slowly entered the Dali Temple.

Raise your eyes.

Then they saw the emperor with a gloomy look on his face, sitting in the main seat. Next to him was Empress Song who was under house arrest. Standing on his left were other people from the Imperial Observatory, and on his right were more than a dozen important officials from the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, the six ministries, etc.

Everyone looked serious and the atmosphere in the hall was depressing.

The smell of blood filled their noses, and the adults were slightly startled, and all looked at the large box that Shen Liuguang had placed on the ground…
