.
He personally took the man out of the palace, put him in the prison car, and then handed him over to Xu Jingyuan, but he did not follow him to the execution ground. After all, they were brothers, and even if they had a great grudge in their lives, he had no intention of watching the other person being beheaded. So he waved his hand, took Bai Ze to the palace car, and returned to the Prince Yu's Palace.
Xuan Tianming didn't want to see Old Eight be beheaded, but Feng Yuheng didn't have his brotherly love! When he returned to the mansion, he heard Madam Zhou say, "The princess followed Princess Wuyang and the two young ladies from Ren Jiafeng's family to the execution ground, saying that they wanted to watch the execution."
The place to watch the execution was a two-story teahouse opposite the execution ground. There was a private room with a window facing the execution ground, and sitting by the window one could see the situation below clearly. At this time, Feng Yuheng, Xuan Tiange, Ren Xifeng, and Feng Tianyu were sitting at the table, drinking tea while waiting for the time to draw their knives and kill people.
The waiter who came to serve tea said, "This private room is jokingly called the beheading viewing platform. To be honest, people have been booking it since the imperial edict was announced three days ago. If it weren't for Princess Wuyang's order, this room would really not be reserved!" The waiter had a happy face when he spoke, as if he was talking about something full of sunshine, as if this private room was used for weddings. But in fact, this is a beheading viewing platform, which is used to watch people being killed.
After the waiter left, Feng Yuheng asked, "What do you think? Is the waiter happy because this private room is so popular? Or is it because the person who is about to be beheaded is so unpopular?"
Xuan Tiange shrugged: "Eighty percent of them. Just based on Lao Ba's popularity, at least more than half of the people in Beijing want to strangle him to death!"
Feng Tianyu asked her: "Come to think of it, he is also your cousin. Now he is going to be beheaded. Don't you feel uncomfortable at all?"
Xuan Tiange thought for a moment and said, "It's a little bit painful, after all, he is my cousin. But what can I do? We were all born in the royal family, and he is so evil. The royal family is like this, the greater the temptation, the greater the crime you can commit. He has killed so many people and single-handedly provoked the war in the southern border. Just for this reason, he wants to pay for the lives of those dead civilians and soldiers."
"Yes!" Ren Xifeng also sighed and said, "During the days when the South Territory was in trouble, my father didn't sleep well for a single night. I once saw him dancing with a spear in the garden of the mansion, and he danced for a whole night. Later, I asked him why, and he said that he was General Pingnan and had a deep affection for the land of the South Territory. He once left many subordinates in the South Territory, but all the subordinates who stayed in the South Territory were killed by the Eighth Prince. For a soldier, dying on the battlefield is a worthy death, but dying in a power struggle is the greatest shame. He had no place to comfort those heroic spirits, so he only hoped that the South Territory could be successfully recovered and that the Eighth Prince would be able to recover the South Territory. Those who died also want to see the beautiful mountains and rivers in the ancient Shu desert. "Ren Xifeng said very sadly, and then looked at Feng Yuheng and said to her very seriously: "My father always wanted to say thank you to you in person, not only to His Highness the Ninth Prince, but also to you. But he just couldn't bring himself to do it, so today I will say it for him! Ah Heng, thank you for bringing peace to the South Territory and letting the people of the South Territory live a good life. We in the General's Mansion of Pingnan have deep gratitude and respect for you and His Highness the Ninth Prince. Once the matter of the Eighth Prince is resolved, it can be regarded as a major worry in my father's heart, and we can also breathe a sigh of relief. "
"Yes! Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief." Feng Tianyu also said, "Although my father is a civil servant, the court is disturbed by the Eighth Prince. He receives more than a dozen memorials every day, all of which are from the Eighth Prince's party. I don't understand those government affairs, I just know that my father and the left prime minister have to face a lot of provocations from the Eighth Prince's party every day, and their life is really not going well."
"Can I really breathe a sigh of relief?" Feng Yuheng frowned and asked, and at the same time said: "Why is my right eyelid always twitching? I always feel that something bad is going to happen?"
Xuan Tiange advised her: "You are just too nervous!" Then he pointed to the execution ground below.
At this time, in the middle of the execution ground, the executioner was already in place, and Xuan Tianmo had been taken to the periphery of the execution ground by a prisoner car. Some officers dragged him off the prisoner car and dragged him to the middle of the execution ground. Since Xuan Tianmo's "legs" could no longer bend, he was now lying prone, but he couldn't be executed lying prone like this, so under Xu Jingyuan's arrangement, two officers came forward, one on each side lifted the man up, keeping him in a half-kneeling position, so that the executioner could execute him.
Xuan Tiange said: "He's already in this state, with the knife at his neck, Ah Heng, what are you still afraid of?"
Feng Yuheng couldn't explain what she was afraid of. Anyway, her left eyelid had been twitching since she woke up this morning. It's said that if the left eyelid twitches, it means good fortune, but if the right eyelid twitches, it means disaster. So she was a little uneasy this morning, always thinking that something was going to happen. But just like Xuan Tiange said, the knife was already on her neck, and the third quarter of noon was just a moment away. What else could happen? She must be too sensitive.
She shook her head, indicating that she would adjust her mood. Ren Xifeng saw that she was not in a good state, so she first helped her add new tea, and then took the initiative to change the subject to distract Feng Yuheng's over-concentrated energy. She said: "Let me tell you about my family! You all know my brother Ren Xitao, right? I really feel upset when I talk about this. A while ago, my brother accidentally saved Lu Xiang on the street. Ah Heng, you still remember it! At that time, my brother sent the left prime minister to Baicaotang, that time when he vomited blood."
Feng Yuheng nodded: "Remember, there was a cyst in the left prime minister's stomach. I took it out with a gastroscope and did a pathology. It turned out to be not malignant. He is lucky." The daughter of the genius doctor
"What you said is too professional, I don't understand. What I want to say is that after leaving Baicaotang, my brother was kind-hearted and sent Lu Song back to the Zuo Xiangfu. As a result, he saw the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Ping, in the Zuo Xiangfu. From then on, he couldn't forget Lu Ping. He mentioned her in front of me from time to time and asked me about her intentionally or unintentionally. I was so angry that I didn't know what to do. You tell me, with the character of the Lu family, how could I let my brother marry their daughter!"
Hearing her words, Xuan Tiange got angry and slammed the table, saying, "Of course not! Have you forgotten what happened with the Yao family? The daughter of the Lu family married into the Yao family, which brought shame to the Yao family! Ah Heng's eldest cousin was such a good man, but he was ruined by Lu Yao, he is simply a disaster. Eh?" As she was talking, she suddenly remembered something, "That's not right! Didn't Lu Ping get hurt when she jumped into the water to save the eldest lady of the Yao family? We all saw it! Even though she was injured like that, your brother still likes her?"
"I'm also confused!" Ren Xifeng was puzzled when she talked about this matter. She told a few people: "I asked my brother, but he said that Lu Ping's face was not injured and was intact. Don't you think it's strange?"
It was strange, indeed strange, Lv Ping's face was healed again, Feng Yuheng was not aware of this, she just found out that Lv Ping's face had recovered somewhat when she was seeing Lv Yan during the Chinese New Year, but it was impossible to say that it was completely the same as before. Could it be that there really was a good way to beautify and remove scars in this world?
Several people here were discussing the affairs of the Lu family, when they heard the sound of drums below the window. It was three quarters past noon!
Xu Jingyuan, as the executioner, sat at the top, with the order of execution already in his hand, ready to throw it out. Even the word "behead" was already between his teeth, ready to burst out.
At this moment, Feng Yuheng heard a voice that sounded very familiar from a distance, shouting "Spare his life! Spare his life!"
