Chapter 22 Why don't you have to die?

"The decree has arrived!"

Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, a eunuch in a blue python robe came to the center of the execution ground, and he quickly got off his horse.

Then read the decree,

"Follow the heavens, the emperor ordered,"

"Xiao Yi, Minister of Dali Temple, is just upright, eliminates harm for the people, upholds justice, and restores the world to the people!"

"Now pardon his crime, this is it!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Lizi smiled,

"Master Xiao, please accept the order."

The others didn't move yet, and there was a burst of cheers under the execution platform,
"The imperial decree, it is really an imperial decree!"

"Lord Xiao doesn't need to die!"

"The sky has eyes! The sky has eyes!"

"God bless me Daqin!"

"This is how good people get rewarded!"

The common people onlookers have come to their senses from the shock just now. Although most of them don't know what happened, they only know one thing. The imperial decree has really arrived, and Master Xiao really doesn't have to die.

More and more people in the audience were excited and cheered. Some had tears in their eyes, and some had mud on their faces, but almost everyone was cheering and laughing.

Laughter and crying became one.

Only the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched slightly in the center of the execution ground, and he hadn't even recovered yet.

In the end what happened?
Why don't you have to die?

Just when Xiao Yi was in a daze, there was another sound of horseshoes coming from outside the execution ground, and another little eunuch in a blue python robe rushed over under the heavy protection of the Ouchi guards.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said,
"Xiao Yi, Minister of Dali Temple, knows the king's salary and takes care of the king's worries. It is really my great Qin's fortune,"

"I have been vacant for a long time as the chief assistant of the Great Qin Dynasty,"

"Since ancient times, it has been of high moral character, and the virtuous live there."

"Xiao Qing is now the chief assistant of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

"Kin this!"

After reading the imperial edict, the little eunuch slowly closed the imperial edict, and walked in front of Xiao Yi respectfully.

"Master Chief Assistant, please accept the order."

His face was full of flattery.

But the Wang Gonggong next to him couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't expect to be the chief assistant. It seemed that His Majesty finally believed in Lord Xiao.

Eunuch Wang couldn't help but took a deep breath, and slowly squatted down with a smile on his face.

"Master Xiao, congratulations."

The corners of Xiao Yi's eyes widened, the corners of his mouth twitched even more violently, and he cursed inwardly, "God damn dog emperor, how dare you trick me like this?"

When sitting on the execution ground, Xiao Yi only felt infinite sadness in his heart, and he thought of a sentence of Lu Xun.

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected, I just think they are noisy now.

The common people cheered happily, but Fu Rushan, who had fallen to the side, took a deep breath and slowly relaxed.

The little eunuch beside him still had that flattering smile on his face,

The prince in front of him couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, his old face was smiling, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be stretched out.

However, no one knew how disappointed Xiao Yi was in his heart at this moment. He knew very well now that at this point, it was impossible for him to be beheaded.

And the rules customized by the system are to dedicate oneself to justice, so it is meaningless to force oneself to die and commit suicide.

Under the support of Wang Gonggong, Xiao Yi stood up slowly, with a wry smile on his lips,
"I'm a little tired, and I want to be alone for a while,"

After hearing this, Eunuch Wang was also taken aback, then nodded.

Master Xiao had just been wiped out of the nine clans, and he had just wandered between life and death. Now that he managed to survive, he must be physically and mentally exhausted at this moment, and he really should take a good rest.

Then Eunuch Wang looked at a little plum beside him and urged:

"Why don't you hurry up and prepare the sedan chair for Lord Shoufu?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lizi quickly handed the imperial edict in his hand to a small follower at the side, and then went outside non-stop to discuss the matter of setting up the sedan chair, while Xiao Yi, with the support of the prince, had ten thousand grass mud horses galloping in his heart. Pass.

Behind him, Fu Rushan stood up slowly, let out a deep breath, his heart was full of rejoicing, fortunately his humble strength did not hurt Lord Xiao.

Facing Xiao Yi's back, Fu Rushan bent down and cupped his hands, then straightened up and staggered down the execution platform.
But the other executioners around him looked envious. Today Master Xiao remembered his name, and from now on, Fu Rushan will no longer be an unknown person.

And more people outside the stadium cheered and rushed to tell each other.

"Great, I'm going to invite Master Xiao's Longevity Card into my home today!"

"I want one too, and I want to put it next to the God of Wealth!"

"Neighbors in the neighborhood, my daughter has passed away for many years, and today the vengeance has been avenged. The daughter Hong who was buried at the beginning can be taken out to drink with everyone at this time."

As a famous family, the Xiao family did many evils. The whole Yanjing did not know how many people were killed and their families were ruined. Now that the Xiao family has been wiped out, it is unknown how many people have been avenged and wronged.

And Xiao Yi was acquitted of the crime and promoted to the chief assistant, which made people look forward to the future of this country.

It's just that in the Great Qin Dynasty, there are many aristocratic families, and the Xiao family is not the only one who commits many evils?
Now that Mr. Xiao has been promoted to be the chief assistant, I don't know what will happen to those villains in the future?
It's really exciting!

Under the spread of the people and the news, the news of Xiao Yi's promotion to the chief assistant spread throughout most of Yanjing City in less than half a day.

White House.

Bai Yunfei, the patriarch of the Bai family, and Bai Yunfeng, the acting head of the Bai family, gathered in the secret room.

As one of the dignitaries of Daqin, they have a very large intelligence network, so they received the news not long after the incident on the execution ground ended.

The development of this matter shocked the two principals of the Bai family. After repeated confirmation, the two of them have not recovered from the shock.

Finally, after being silent for a long time, Bai Yunfeng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he asked his ancestor.

"What is His Majesty thinking?"

"You must know that the position of Chief Assistant has been vacant for a long time, why did you appoint Xiao Yi as Chief Assistant at this time?"

"Could it be that His Majesty really wants to delegate power?"

The position of chief assistant is the leader of civil servants, and the power of this position is too great.

At this time, the power of the Great Qin imperial family is gradually shrinking, so in this generation, they can only elect a woman to be the emperor.
Under such circumstances, there have been several Great Qin Emperors who have not appointed chief assistants. This matter will definitely break the balance of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Even Bai Yunfei had to pay attention.

The most important thing is that because of the relationship between Bai Yunsheng, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Bai family can already declare war with the Xiao family.

So Xiao Yi became the first assistant to the Bai family with all kinds of harm but no benefit.

"It's not because he's too ruthless."

The white-haired Bai Yunfei said with a frown.

"Back then, no one could have imagined that Xiao Yi, an old fox who is good at calculating, would be a ruthless person who is not afraid of life and death."

But now that his nine clans have been wiped out, Xiao Yi has become a lonely family. "

"Under such circumstances, His Majesty will certainly appoint him as the capital with confidence. Anyway, the power he can use comes from the current Holy Majesty."

"It's just that the new and old hatred between my Bai family and this chief assistant is not so easy to alleviate or deal with."

While speaking, Bai Yunfei stroked his beard with his hands, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

On the side, Bai Yunfeng, the Patriarch of the Bai family, had a look of jealousy.

"Old ancestor, the enmity between us and the new Chief Assistant is not so easy to resolve, what should we do?"

Bai Yunfei fell into silence when he heard the words. He didn't respond immediately, but thought silently. Afterwards, as if he had thought of something, his frowning brows slowly loosened.

"Someone will be in a hurry than us,"

Bai Yunfeng lowered his head in astonishment, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Who,"

Bai Yunfei replied with a faint smile,

"For example, when the imperial tutor, Zhang Song."
