Two days passed in a flash.

An hour before Longkodo's execution, Tong Guowei finally made up his mind.

Compared with the glory of the Tong family, Longkodo's life seems less important.

He has been in the court for many years and has many political enemies. Although no one dares to openly target the Tong family, Tong Guowei knows exactly what all this relies on.

Just look at Prince Gong Changning and you will know.

Chang Ning was one of Kangxi's only two surviving brothers, but he made a mistake one day and earned Kangxi's dislike. After just a few years, he no longer had a position in the court.

Just a few months ago, Tong Guowei heard that Chang Ning was unemployed at home, spending his days in debauchery and living a life of luxury.

Judging from Chang Ning's condition, it is a foregone conclusion that his descendants will be demoted and their inheritance will be reduced to a lower rank.

As for how much you will be demoted, that depends on the emperor's mood.

With such a precedent in mind, Tong Guowei didn't dare to gamble on that one in ten thousand possibility.

If Kangxi's favor was gone, perhaps the Tong family would not be in any crisis in the short term, after all, he was still alive.

But once he died, the prosperity that he and his brother had worked hard to maintain for most of their lives would probably collapse in a few days. This was something Tong Guowei could not accept in any way.

Kangxi seemed to be giving him a choice, but in fact he was blocking all his escape routes.

When Ye Keshu entered the palace, Kangxi was teasing his lion cat in the cat and dog room.

In fact, at this time of day, he would either be handling government affairs or talking to the empress dowager in Ningshou Palace. In short, it would be impossible for him to appear in the cat and dog room.

This abnormal behavior also made Liang Jiugong and others realize that he was not at peace in his heart.

Ye Keshu's answer was just as he expected, just two words: "Tong family".

Kangxi was calm and sent Ye Keshu away directly.

After Ye Keshu came out of the cat and dog room, he frowned in confusion.

Father called him to his bedside early in the morning just to bring two words to the emperor?

What happened to the Tong family?

Ye Keshu was puzzled.

Longkodo's sentence arrived as scheduled.

After spending another three days in jail, Longkodo's image was not good at all.

Black hairs sprouted from his forehead and face, his eyes were dark, his lips were so pale that no blood could be seen, and his clothes were still the same ones he wore when he was imprisoned, except that his uniform as the Minister of Works had been stripped off, leaving only a padded jacket.

If a Longkodo like this were to walk on the street, even those who knew him best would not dare to recognize him.

It had been confirmed that Longkodo had no chance of turning over, so the jailer dragged Longkodo much more roughly.

"do what!"

Longkodo was a little shocked and angry. Although his image was not very good, he had not slept much in the past three days, and the jailers did not treat him badly in terms of food.

He couldn't sleep because until now, he had not received any word from the Tong family.

Longkodo did try to bribe the jailer, but there were two first-class guards with gloomy faces guarding Longkodo's cell. The jailer didn't dare to communicate with him, let alone even look at him.

The jailer did not answer him, but pulled him up and tied his mouth tightly with a cloth to prevent him from yelling and shouting during the execution.

“Wuwuwu…wuwuwuwu…”

(What are you doing? Let me go!)

Longkodo struggled hard, and the two jailers couldn't hold him down.

Upon seeing this, the imperial guards stepped forward and removed his arm.

“Woo!”

Feeling the stinging pain in his shoulder, Longkodo let out a scream from his throat, his bloodshot eyes staring at the man who had removed his arm.

His eyes were full of resentment, as if he wanted to eat the waiter alive.

Sochorolo Longqing sneered, his words full of malice,

"Third Master, the auspicious time has arrived. It's time for you to set off."

After Longqing finished speaking, he did not move his eyes away, but just quietly admired the drastic change in Longkodo's expression.

In fact, there was a reason why Longqing was so malicious towards Longkodo.

His brother-in-law was also a first-class guard back then, but after being implicated by Longkodo in the autumn hunt, he was directly expelled from the guard camp, so that even now, his brother-in-law is still unemployed at home.

We won’t starve to death, but life is not easy either.

Therefore, Longqing hated Longkodo very much. He always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge, but Longkodo was not someone he could afford to provoke.

Even when Longkodo was still the Minister of Works, he could only bow and scrape when he saw Longkodo, because Longkodo was valued by the emperor.

But now, he is about to die, so naturally they can step on him however they want.

As he wished, after hearing this, Longkodo's expression suddenly became dull.

What does it mean when the auspicious time has arrived? What does it mean when it’s time to set off?

What's the meaning?

Long Qing hadn't admired it enough when his colleagues standing at the door became impatient.

"Hurry up, none of us can afford to miss the auspicious time!"

Hearing this, Longqing curled his lips in disappointment, but he also understood that he had to listen to his colleagues' words and that today's matter could not be taken lightly.

“Follow me!”

Long Qing said this and turned to walk outside.

The two jailers also saw that this gentleman had no good feelings towards Longkodo, so their actions became more and more rude.

Longkodo was awakened by the pain in his body and immediately struggled hard, but unfortunately his mouth was sealed and he could not utter a complete word.

Seeing that he was not cooperating, the jailers lifted him up one at a time. He wanted to kick the jailer who was holding his ankle, but he found that his shoulders were in excruciating pain as soon as he moved.
