Chapter 439 Beheading
In this case, you can imagine how complicated this matter is.
Why would the poison master in the Daliang army be employed by the Marquis of Zhenyuan?
The Zhenyuan Marquisate cannot escape the charge of colluding with the enemy country.
Everyone's face was gloomy, and they were all disgusted with the fact that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion had betrayed Dasheng.
Just when it was quiet, there was suddenly some noise outside.
It sounds like the Ministry of Justice has arrived.
Everyone looked at each other, walked out of the room and looked towards the execution ground.
The Minister of Justice, the Chief Justice, and the Chief Censor were all present.
This time, the execution ground was packed with onlookers, making it much more lively than when Lin Congrong was executed.
Soon, the prison van was pulled up. Jiang Yunhe was wearing prison clothes and looked around with an extremely cold look.
Even though he became a prisoner, he still maintained the dignity of a marquis.
As they watched the man being dragged onto the execution platform, the people below began to talk about it.
"This Zhenyuan Marquis doesn't look like a prisoner at all. Could he have been wrongly accused?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Lord of the Three Departments is still sitting up there. Who could possibly accuse him?"
"The one who was truly wronged was obviously Marquis Wangshu. The Lin family has been wronged for so many years. We really blamed them wrongly back then."
"What a pity! Marquis Wangshu died so young. It's all the fault of this traitor!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
As the voices of "Kill him" grew louder and louder, Jiang Yunhe raised his head and glared viciously at the people surrounding him.
Then he looked around again, looking for people from Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
He knew very well that Jiang Liuyun would definitely save him.
Even if Jiang Liuyun didn't save him, he would definitely come because he had placed so many people and trump cards in Cangxianglou.
Jiang Yunhe was a wise man throughout his life, how could he die like this? It's absolutely impossible!
But as time passed, he still couldn't find a familiar face in the crowd.
This situation made him a little anxious.
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible... Jiang Yunhe pursed his lips.
Jiang Liuyun was not even there!
That rebellious son actually hated him to this extent. Was he really not coming?
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Zhou Chongzheng, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, who was on the high platform.
Zhou Chongzheng noticed his gaze, turned his head slightly, and pretended not to see it.
Are you kidding? It has come to this point, who dares to challenge the emperor?
The imperial edict was issued by the emperor, and it was the emperor who wanted Marquis Zhenyuan to die.
How could he, a mere censor, dare to fight against a rock with an egg?
Furthermore, Zhou Chongzheng also felt some resentment towards Jiang Yunhe.
What about the promise to kill the Lin family?
He listened to Jiang Liuyun and killed his brother-in-law Ling Shuo with his own hands.
Recently, the Ling family got some news from somewhere and came to the house every day to ask for an explanation.
Even his wife harbored deep resentment towards him.
If this continues, he will definitely be separated from his wife and children.
Who can be blamed for all this?
It’s still Jiang Yunhe!
Thinking of this, he was filled with hatred. He had not gained any benefits from following Jiang Yunhe before, but instead got himself into trouble.
After this, he has to find a way to cling to another powerful person, otherwise the Lin family will definitely retaliate against him!
Thinking of this, his face certainly didn't look any better.
The Minister of Justice on the side was different. He could hardly suppress his smile and did not forget to squeeze the Minister of Justice:
"Master Zhou is presiding over another important case. This should be a happy occasion. Why does he look so gloomy?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chongzheng glanced at the Minister of Justice:
"I am deeply concerned about the emergence of such a traitor in Dasheng, but I am not as relieved as the Minister."
The Minister of Justice stroked his beard slowly and said:
"My daughter Jin'er died in an unclear manner. Now that someone has gone down to accompany him, I naturally feel at ease."
Ever since the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was raided, the death of Li Jinzhi, the son of the Minister of Justice, was brought up again, directly pointing the finger at the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Rumor has it that the Zhenyuan Marquisate attacked Li Jin in order to threaten the Minister of Justice to favor the Jiang family during the joint trial of the three courts.
The Minister of Justice was upright and unwilling to associate with the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion. The Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion was humiliated and angry, so they cruelly killed Li Jinzhi.
This rumor is half true and half false, but with a little guidance from someone, it can win the sympathy of many people.
For the Minister of Justice, he must be happy that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has collapsed.
Hearing the sarcastic tone in their words, Wang Yuan frowned slightly:
"My Lords, we are here to oversee the execution. Once Eunuch Wang arrives, it won't be too late to talk about it after Jiang Yunhe's head falls off."
As soon as Wang Yuan opened his mouth, the Minister of Justice and Zhou Chongzheng fell silent.
The people in the Censorate are very old-fashioned. If Wang Yuan goes to the emperor to file a complaint, no one will end up well.
Seeing that the two had quieted down, Wang Yuan straightened up again and looked at the crowd watching below.
After looking around twice, he didn't see Jiang Liuyun, but he saw the Lin family and the Lu family.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, he took a deep breath and looked away.
At this moment, Lin Zhiqing quietly poked Lu Huai:
"Did you see the look in Lord Wang's eyes just now?"
Lu Huai nodded: "I see."
Lin Zhiqing seemed to be thinking, "Looks like I should go to the residence of the Chief Censor when I have time."
"You were turned away last time you went there. Do you want to be turned away again?" Yan Yu spoke up to watch the fun.
"No." Lin Zhiqing said softly.
This Lord Wang seemed to be much simpler than Lin Zhiqing had imagined.
She originally guessed that Wang Yuan, like the previous Chief Censor, was working for the Zhenyuan Marquisate.
However, Lord Wang's performance in the two trials was somewhat surprising.
He stood up several times at critical moments, and although he was just speaking according to the facts, he still helped the Lin family.
Just as Lin Zhiqing was thinking, Yun Feng stepped forward from behind him:
"Sir, Miss Zhiqing, Eunuch Wang is here."
Hearing this, everyone looked towards the entrance.
The crowd of onlookers automatically made way for this important figure to appear.
Seeing Eunuch Wang, Jiang Yunhe on the execution platform couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
What's going on?
It's already this late, and his people haven't made any moves yet? Where is Jiang Liuyun?
At this moment, Jiang Yunhe didn't know that his people had been taken care of by Lin Zhiqing and others.
All his expectations were in vain.
Eunuch Wang, as he did before, took small steps and sat down next to the officials from the Three Departments.
He straightened his back and stared at Jiang Yunhe below.
Seeing that everyone was present, Zhou Chongzheng stood up again and read again the imperial edict that was issued in the Dali Temple that day.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Jiang Yunhe was still a little panicked when he heard the voice.
His eyes kept searching the crowd, but he could not find any trace of Jiang Liuyun or even anyone from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
However, he only saw a pair of eyes that were so clear that they were annoying.
Those were Lin Zhiqing's eyes.
With Zhou Chongzheng's order, the executioner raised the butcher knife.
When people are extremely afraid, their minds go blank.
Jiang Yunhe seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at the entrance of the execution ground.
“Snap!”
There were no surprises and no twists.
The butcher's knife fell without mercy, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who had been a powerful figure for half his life, could no longer open his eyes.
