Chapter 735: It’s time to die
Suddenly, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and immediately rushed towards them, waving sticks in their hands.
Ye Zheng was standing nearby. When he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately protected Zhu Feng and signaled the surrounding soldiers to come forward.
You must know that these people attacked Zhu Feng in an attempt to assassinate the emperor!
The entire nine clans will be killed!
These soldiers were well-trained. When they rushed forward, they immediately drew out their swords and knives. The cold light flashed for a moment. The villagers were stimulated by such sharp weapons and could no longer remain quiet. They all waved the sticks in their hands.
"Fight them!"
It looked like the situation was getting out of control.
At this moment, Xiao Shitou's voice came from not far away: "Daddy!"
Shi Eryi looked up and saw a beautifully dressed and pretty woman, followed by a young girl who looked like a maid, walking towards him with her son, Xiao Shitou.
The villagers saw it too.
He shouted, "Oh no! Little Stone has really been captured by them!"
"Hurry up and save Little Stone!"
After saying that, those people simply started fighting with the officers and soldiers around them. Several young men broke through the fence and rushed directly towards Nan Yan.
Seeing this, Nan Yan was shocked.
She subconsciously took two steps back, and Ran Xiaoyu rushed forward to protect her behind him.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them and knocked those people to the ground with just two or three hits.
It’s Zhu Feng.
There was also Ye Zheng who rushed over right after him. His face was also a little pale. He didn't expect that they would really start fighting, especially since the imperial concubine came over again and she was pregnant.
If anything goes wrong, no one here will survive!
When the surrounding soldiers saw them actually fighting the emperor, they were all furious and shouted, "They are trying to assassinate the emperor!"
"Kill them all!"
emperor!
Although there was a lot of noise around, the villagers, including Shi Eryi in the crowd, still heard these two words.
They opened their eyes wide and looked at the tall and imposing man who was standing in front of the woman, his cold face full of murderous intent.
The soldiers around him all retreated to his side and protected him.
He is the emperor!
The villagers were also dumbfounded.
They were holding wooden sticks and hammers in their hands, trembling with fear. Two of them even couldn't hold them firmly and fell to the ground.
They actually fought with the emperor!
It’s over!
Everyone felt that a disaster was about to happen, and the sky above their heads seemed to have darkened.
If they had offended the emperor and fought against him, would they still be able to survive? I’m afraid that by now, everyone in the village would be killed.
Just as the officers and soldiers were about to charge forward, Shi Eryi quickly spread his arms and shouted, "Don't move, don't move!"
Then, he pushed through the crowd and walked forward until he came in front of Zhu Feng.
Blocked behind Zhu Feng were Nan Yan and Xiao Shitou, who was holding her hand. Xiao Shitou looked at his father approaching and whispered, "Daddy."
Shi Eryi fell to his knees in front of Zhu Feng with a thud.
“Daddy!”
Little Shitou was stunned. From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen his father be so servile to anyone. They always taught him that a man's knees are made of gold, and he should only kneel to heaven, earth, and his mother.
But Daddy knelt before this strange man.
Although he was very powerful, he knocked his third uncle, second brother and others to the ground with just two or three hits, before they could even see clearly.
But--
Although he was young, the child was naturally sensitive. He seemed to sense that some powerful threat was approaching, and that sense of crisis came from the man in front of him.
He whispered, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
“…”
"Aunt, what happened to my dad?"
Nan Yan was indeed frightened and broke out in a cold sweat just now.
When I first heard the noise, I thought it was nothing serious. I didn't expect that my arrival would cause such a big commotion.
Fortunately, Zhu Feng showed up.
She put one hand on Xiao Shitou's thin shoulders and raised her head to look at Zhu Feng's back. She saw that he had a sullen face and looked at her coldly. His eyes seemed to say - who asked you to come here!
At this time, Shi Eryi knelt at Zhu Feng's feet and kowtowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
When he kowtowed, the surrounding villagers were so frightened that they dropped their sticks and hammers and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng looked at them and said coldly, "In Jufu Village, the unruly people gathered together to cause trouble and attempted to assassinate me."
“…”
"Ye Zheng, according to the law, how should the verdict be made?"
Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Execute immediately."
Shi Eryi knelt on the ground and trembled.
Zhu Feng said coldly: "Tie him up."
Immediately, the surrounding soldiers rushed forward and tied up all the villagers with their hands behind their backs. They did not dare to struggle, but looked at Zhu Feng with the eyes of lambs to be slaughtered, tears in their eyes.
Even the women and elderly in the village were not spared.
All the people were caught, their hands tied, and they knelt in a large open space at the entrance of the village.
At this time, several soldiers walked up to Nan Yan.
"My Lady, everyone in this village must be tied up and executed immediately."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Wait a moment."
After all, the soldiers did not dare to offend the imperial concubine, and the emperor was right next to them. If they disagreed, they could only let them finish arguing first.
So, he looked at the emperor hesitantly.
Zhu Feng looked at Nan Yan with a serious face: "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, Xiao Shitou knows nothing. He—"
"You must know that attempting to assassinate me is a grave crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of your clan."
“…”
"Whether this child appears or disappears, they have already taken action against me."
“…”
"Moreover, disobeying the government's orders is also a capital offense."
“…”
"I haven't yet cleaned up their nine clans."
Upon hearing this, the villagers trembled even more and their faces turned pale.
At this time, Shi Eryi, who was kneeling in front of them, raised his head and said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty, I know I will have no place to be buried after death, but before I die, I also want to explain why we are doing this."
“…”
"Your Majesty, I have heard this. If you want to kill me or chop me up, I have no complaints."
Zhu Feng gave them a cold look.
Then, he nodded to Ye Zheng, who immediately asked someone to go to the village, find two relatively clean chairs, move them out and place them under the shade of a tree, and also asked someone to bring a cushion and place them in place.
Zhu Feng took Nan Yan and sat on the chair.
Nan Yan kept one hand protecting Xiao Shitou.
Zhu Feng said coldly: "If you want to say something, you can say it now."
“…”
"After that, it's time to die."
