Xia Miaoyuan clapped his chubby little hands excitedly.
【Daddy is coming, Daddy is coming! 】
On the official road, a golden carriage was seen slowly approaching the execution ground.
The six tall horses look majestic.
"Long live the emperor!" The common people on both sides of the street knelt down and kowtowed in obeisance.
There were also some brave ones who secretly looked up and tried to see the emperor's true face through the gap in the curtain.
Finally, Xia Zhengqi sat upright in the seat in the middle of the execution platform.
Immediately afterwards, Minister of Justice Cui Lie and two Vice Ministers of the Ministry of Justice, Minister of the Supreme Court Wang Deguang and two Junior Ministers of the Supreme Court sat on either side of Xia Zhengqi respectively.
[It’s my third uncle! ]
Xia Miaoyuan had sharp eyes and recognized Xiao Licheng sitting next to Wang Deguang at a glance.
"Ah, ah..." Xia Miaoyuan cried out excitedly and pointed at his uncle.
"Oh, Miao'er has seen your third uncle? Miao'er has a really good memory." The prince coaxed softly.
"Look at Wang Deguang's arrogant look. It makes me angry." The second prince patted his stomach which was filled with three pots of tea and complained.
"Ah, my third uncle still has to work under him. It's really unpleasant just thinking about it."
"Be careful with your words." The prince glared at the second prince and looked around.
"This is the truth. He is just not as good as my third uncle. It will be great when father promotes my third uncle to be the Minister of Temple." The second prince looked indifferent.
"You. Third uncle is a strong-willed person. He doesn't want people to say that he got his official position thanks to our father and mother." The prince lowered his voice.
[Er Guoguo is straightforward! Wang Deguang just can't compare to his third uncle.]
Xia Miaoyuan glared at Wang Deguang fiercely.
Wang Deguang is a complete idiot. He always pushes all the Dali Temple affairs onto his third uncle and another Dali Temple official.
[He only knows how to scheme against others, make money, and secretly cling to Master Jiang's thigh.]
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were both startled and quickly picked up their teacups and pretended to drink tea.
[Over the years, he has used his position as the Dali Temple Minister to commit many dirty deeds, including abuse of power for personal gain and bending the law.]
[Alas, Wang Deguang was lucky this time. Even when Grand Tutor Jiang fell, he was not taken with him.]
[However, this is enough to prove that Wang Deguang is quite scheming. I'll have to find a way to remind my father in the future.]
[Oh, if only I could speak, I could remind Daddy to check on Wang Deguang immediately.]
"Royal brother, I heard some rumors when I was playing with those young masters of aristocratic families." The second prince's eyes turned, and he said deliberately in order to lead his sister to continue talking.
"There's a rumor that Wang Deguang can turn a case into a lie if the defendant is willing to pay him money."
When the prince heard his second brother say this, his eyes immediately lit up. He thought to himself that he was indeed a brother from the same mother, and he was just about to listen to his sister's thoughts.
"I've heard some things too, but on the surface, Wang Deguang seems to be quite decent." The prince agreed.
"Royal brother, can we investigate him privately?"
"If it is found that he has committed favoritism and abuse of power, then my third uncle's promotion will be a natural thing." The second prince smiled cunningly.
[By the way, Third Uncle has evidence of his guilt.]
When Xia Miaoyuan heard that his two brothers were discussing investigating Wang Deguang, he became so anxious that he babbled.
[You guys go find your third uncle and ask him for evidence.]
My third uncle is good in every way except being indecisive. He's collected a lot of evidence against his boss, but he just can't make up his mind to impeach him.
【Oh, I forgot I was a baby again. 】
Xia Miaoyuan babbled in a rhythmic manner for a long time, and suddenly realized that what he was saying was not human language, and felt a little lost.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince smiled secretly with their heads down.
"Bring the prisoner!"
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing shout came from the execution ground.
The three siblings all withdrew their thoughts and looked towards the execution ground at the same time.
More than a dozen prison vans arrived in front of the execution ground, and 15 corrupt officials wearing shackles and shackles were carried by the imperial guards to the execution platform and lined up in a row.
The 15 people were originally powerful and arrogant high-ranking officials of the court, but now they were all unkempt, dirty, and listless.
“They are all corrupt officials!”
"Oh, look, look, these used to be the powerful masters who were bossing around."
"You guys have come to this day, bah!"
The people who were watching the fun pointed and talked about the death row prisoners on the stage.
"Master Cui, please read out the charges against the death row prisoner!"
The sharp sound came again, and the crowd immediately quieted down.
The Minister of Justice Cui Lie stood up with a square step, unfolded a stack of papers, and read aloud.
It took him a full quarter of an hour to read out the charges against the 15 corrupt officials.
"Humph, they all deserve to be killed!"
"What a bunch of filthy bastards!"
"These people will never be satisfied even if they are cut into pieces!"
As soon as Cui Lie finished speaking, the people could no longer suppress their anger and cursed the corrupt officials to their heart's content.
Some people who had prepared in advance immediately took out rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs and threw them at the beheading platform.
In an instant, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were hung on the heads and bodies of the 15 death row prisoners, and the scene was thrown into chaos.
[Wow, hit them hard! If you don’t hit them now, you won’t have another chance soon!]
Xia Miaoyuan straightened up excitedly and waved her little hands.
Not until the people had almost smashed everything in their hands did Xia Zhengqi give a wink to Debao behind him.
Eunuch Debao commanded the imperial guards to quiet down the onlookers.
"People of Daxia!" A deep and powerful male voice came into my ears.
