Chapter 500 Public Execution
"Very good!" Seeing the little Lin'er's quick reaction, Xiao Yin was very pleased. At least, this child also knew how to protect himself.
Baby Ruoxi was also happy to see her brother's reaction.
Her brother's kung fu is getting better and better. If he is given some auxiliary pills and allowed to practice diligently, his kung fu will surely be invincible in the future.
Just when Baby Ruoxi was thinking this, Xiao Ruilin had already run over.
"Xi'er!" Xiao Ruilin took out a small jade flute from his chest and said, "I polished it myself. It took several months to polish it. See if you can play it."
"Hmm!"
Baby Ruoxi got down from her grandmother's arms and took the jade flute to look at it carefully.
This jade flute is emerald green and shiny all over. It looks like the best jade, and it is made of very careful polishing.
"This flute, Lin'er spent about three months on it. After reviewing his lessons every day, he would polish it for a while. He said that he wanted to make it especially exquisite for his sister, so that it would be worthy of his sister!" The Queen Mother looked at the jade flute in Xiao Xi'er's hand and said with a smile. "
Thank you, brother~!" Baby Ruoxi thanked him, and then put the jade flute to her lips and blew a few notes. Don't say, the tone of this jade flute is really good.
"This is really good!" Concubine Li smiled and said, "Lin'er's hands are really skillful!"
"Yes!" Baby Ruoxi nodded, "Brother's best, come, take it!"
The little girl also wanted to return the gift. She took out several small bottles from her small pocket. The small bottles were filled with various elixirs that aided cultivation.
"Nine Transformation Heart Pill, Medicine Spirit Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill..." Xiao Ruilin read them one by one.
"Well, they are all auxiliary. Brother, you should eat well." Baby Ruoxi said.
"Okay, I will definitely practice well!" Xiao Ruilin nodded immediately.
Everyone went to Fushou Palace together with a smile.
After everyone rested, the emperor told the queen mother and Concubine Li about Wen Zhong's deliberate plot in recent years, wanting to let the two countries of Xiyue and Dongming come together to squeeze Dawei and completely crush Dawei.
"This old man, I used to trust him. I thought that if you doubt someone, don't employ him, and if you employ someone, don't doubt him. However, I found that his intention was to destroy the Wei Dynasty and completely annihilate it. This old man made me determined..." The Queen Mother said this, raised her head and looked at Xiao Yin, and said, "The one I feel most sorry for is Yue'er!"
"Mother, I know that this is not what you want to see. Yue'er will know our hard work." Xiao Yin said.
At the beginning, Wen Zhong, as the head of the Imperial Hospital, teamed up with Concubine Jin at the time to frame Xiao Yue. At that time, his mother, as a concubine of low status, could only watch her daughter being calculated and her son being clamped, but she had to endure them.
As a mother, the most painful thing is that her own child is bullied, but she has to pretend not to know, and be grateful and tolerant to the murderer.
"Wen Zhong, be torn to pieces!" The Queen Mother said, and stood up and walked outside: "I will take Xiao Xier to the garden for a walk. Anyone who is related to the mass grave will be punished with the extreme punishment to serve as a warning to others!"
"Son knows!" Xiao Yin nodded.
Even the Taifu or the Xian Wang Xiao Yuheng are not qualified to deal with the crimes and punishments of ministers in the court. For
such matters, His Majesty the Emperor must come in person.
Baby Ruoxi stayed in the public house for two days. Her second cousin had already set off for Dongming. The Ministry of Justice in the court quickly found out everything.
The bandits who were caught from the mass graves told the whole story in detail. Their stomachaches were so severe that they felt worse than death. So, when they heard that the jailer had given them the antidote, they all rushed to tell the truth.
Three days later, all the bandits were executed without exception.
"They are all vicious and murderous bandits. It's hard for Wen Zhong to bring them all together." The Queen Mother also came out in person. She sat on a high platform at one side of the execution ground with a cold expression.
"Why is the Queen Mother here?"
"It is said that the Queen Mother has been persecuted by this man. She has been framed by Wen Zhong and his mother, Concubine Jin, since a long time ago!"
"It is also said that the Queen Mother has something to do with him. Humph, how could such a wise Queen Mother have such a thing with him?"
"Your Majesty, you said that as long as we explain it well, you will not kill us!" The bandits shouted.
The people around were whispering.
"The emperor is a man who kills people decisively, so how could he not kill these scums!"
"Yes, these are all beasts!"
"Humph, not killing you? Ask the people if they can tolerate you!" Concubine Li was the executioner. She stepped forward personally and said, "His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother are here. In the Wei Dynasty, we must change the past customs and have women serve as executioners. Looking at what you beasts have done in the past, you still have the nerve to live!"
At one side, the Minister of Justice held a thick scroll in his hand. He read out the names one by one, and the executioner put a big knife on the neck of everyone whose name was read.
The handle of the knife was tied with a red ribbon. The knife was very wide and thick. The executioners were also dressed in red and looked ferocious.
"Wang Erniu, 35 years old, has been roaming around the border cities of Dongming since he was 18 years old. He has killed 18 young women and has always been in the top three on the wanted list!"
"What, he killed him!" The people were indignant: "This kind of thing has the nerve to shout at the government and still wants to live. It's simply intolerable!"
"Liu Xiaosan!" The Minister of Justice continued to read: "In order to vent his anger, he killed a family of five from his next-door neighbor. Later, on the way to escape, he killed the old couple who took him in without knowing it, and then continued to escape..."
"Sir Minister, please stop reading. We can't wait to kill them right away. Just chop off their heads!"
"Yes, Lord Shangshu, these beasts are not worth our troubles and worries. Those who want to kill them, kill them quickly!"
The people were also unwilling to accept it. They raised their fists and shouted, and some even started to pick up stones from the ground.
"Sir, please move aside, let me throw stones at them, and smash these beasts to death!"
"Sir, please move aside, so that I won't hit you later!"
The people raised the stones in their hands angrily and pointed them at the prisoners.
"You bastards, take my stone!"
"Alright, everyone, we're going to chop off their heads in a bit. Before they get beheaded, we need to let them know what it means to get what you deserve! Don't do that. It's not good to turn around and hit our executioner!"
