The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 143 Decapitation Day
In the 24th year of Tai'an, the first day of June.

In the dark cell, Tian Jingtong was lying on the straw mat.

The official uniform that represented his once prominent status was still worn by him, but it looked particularly ironic at the moment.

With a "creak", the cell door was opened, and then fell into silence again.

Several guards appeared on both sides of the prison door, Tian Jingtong looked in the direction of the prison door, and saw an official appearing here.

"Cheng Wenguang..." Tian Jingtong gritted his teeth.

It was Cheng Wenguang who was standing at the door, and he said loudly: "Master Tian, ​​you are going on the road today, I want to meet you... I am here to see you off!"

After a long silence, Tian Jingtong said, "I ask you one thing..."

"As long as I can do it!" Cheng Wenguang said calmly.

"Leave me a queen!" Tian Jingtong begged.

Cheng Wenguang was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Forgive me for being helpless!"

Before that, he was the leader of the Yitian Jingtong clan in order to submit a certificate of honor to Zhao Yanxun.

If he went to intercede for Tian Jingtong again, not to mention whether he could succeed, Cheng Wenguang himself would probably join in by then.

"Could it be... King Yong really wants to do such a terrible thing?" Tian Jingtong showed resentment.

"Lord Tian, ​​Your Highness wants to win the hearts of everyone in the city. The Yi and your tribe can not only comfort the people, but also deter the powerful...so no one can save your family's fate!" Cheng Wenguang said calmly

"Your Highness...you should change your mind quickly. Don't think that if you flatter someone with the surname Zhao, you will end up well in the end!"

"When the crown prince ascends the throne, you will all be traitors and traitors, and you will be liquidated at that time!"

"You put the crime on me and ruined my family, but my today is your tomorrow!"

Since Cheng Wenguang was already unreliable, Tian Jingtong simply let go and said everything in his heart.

Anyway, I'm going to die, so it's better to say it happily, Tian Jingtong stared blankly.

Cheng Wenguang looked calm, and said in a deep voice: "Master Tian, ​​come here this time... Your Highness asked me to ask you something!"

Tian Jingtong sat up from the straw mat and said with a sneer, "No wonder, if Zhao Yanxun hadn't called you over, why would you appear here!"

Not in the mood to argue with him, Cheng Wenguang asked directly: "His Royal Highness asks you, you have repeatedly made things difficult for the palace before, who gave the order?"

Tian Jingtong didn't say anything, he was already about to be killed by the barbarians, so what's the use of talking about it.

"If you answer honestly, you can die more quickly!"

"If you offend His Highness, including your family members, you will have to suffer again before execution!"

He caused his family to suffer, and the only thing Tian Jingtong can do now is to let them die happily.

"It's what Old Wang Ge meant!" Tian Jingtong said in a deep voice.

Old Wang Ge, a scholar of the current dynasty, and the chief assistant of the cabinet.

"Your Highness also asked, when he arrived in Yuanyang, was he the assassin you sent?" Cheng Wenguang asked again.

"No!" Tian Jingtong replied.

Seeing Cheng Wenguang's suspicious expression, Tian Jingtong couldn't help laughing and said, "At this point, what's the use of me lying?"

Nodding his head, Cheng Wenguang turned and left, while Tian Jingtong also sat back on the straw mat.

After a while, the servants brought food and wine, which was the meal for beheading before going on the road.

After several days of extreme fear, Tian Jingtong has gradually accepted his fate, and he can eat and drink after seeing the food and wine.

Between Xishengfang and Gaoshengfang in Xicheng, a lot of people have gathered around at this moment, and they all came to see the beheading.

The common people like to watch the excitement, even in the last days, it will not change.

But there are many more people around today, mainly because the people in the city have nothing to do.

"There are more than 30 people who will be killed today, and it is said that they are the governor's family!"

"Fucking governor, this dog officer tricked us out of the city and almost killed my whole family. Fortunately, my mother-in-law stopped me!"

"Hey, the family of my uncle and third uncle were cheated out of the city. I'm afraid it's more ominous than good luck!"

"If you want me to say, the whole Gouguan family should be killed, and those servants should also die... Your Highness is still too soft-hearted!"

"Don't talk nonsense, if the prince is not upholding justice, this dog official might not know how to harm people!"

"That's right, the prince is our great benefactor. It is said that in two days... the palace will distribute relief food in the city!"

"Oh, thanks to the prince, otherwise I don't know how to live this day!"

"Let me tell you, I met the third young master of the Jia family yesterday, and I beat him up for saying bad things about the prince!"

"Hahaha, it's time to fight... This little bastard is bullying the market, and now these powerful people have been interrupted by the palace, no matter how much they dare to deal with them!"

"That's right, and this guy still dares to scold the prince, if I bump into him...you must beat this bastard to death!"

The crowd was talking and the scene was extremely noisy.

But when they heard a gong sound in the distance, everyone knew that something serious was coming, so they immediately moved out of the way.

A large number of guards rushed over and stood on both sides of the road to separate the crowd from the prison cars.

Immediately afterwards, prison carts were pushed over, and there were men, women, and children inside.

The mouths of these people were gagged, so they couldn't make a sound at all, and the ropes that tied them made it impossible for them to struggle.

Soon the prison van was pulled to the center of the crowd, and all the people inside were brought out one by one, and were held down and kneeled on the ground by the guards.

Immediately afterwards, several sedan chairs came over, and several officials came out after stopping.

But following behind him was the Chief of the Palace, Shi Si, who was interrogating Zheng Wang Zhengjun.

Cheng Wenguang supervised the beheading today, and Wang Zhengjun came to supervise Cheng Wenguang.

After a false resignation, Cheng Wenguang was sent to the main seat, Wang Zhengjun sat on the left, and the rest of the officials sat further away.

"Everyone, the governor Tian Jingtong is instigating conspiracy, mutilating the people, and insulting the royal family..."

"His Royal Highness King Yong set things right, brought Tian Jingtong and his henchmen to justice, because of their heinous crimes...sentence him to beheaded, the barbarians!"

After Cheng Wenguang finished speaking, he looked up at the sun in the sky, then picked up the command arrow and threw it directly in front of the big case.

"The time has come, behead!"

A total of five executioners, each holding a big knife, came behind the prisoner to be executed.

There are more than 30 prisoners to be beheaded, and the five of them have to kill at least six of them.

Kneeling on the ground, Tian Jingtong didn't look at the family around him, because he had no face to face it.

But while feeling guilty, what reappeared in his mind was not his past glory and glory, but the teachings of his master when he entered school in the clan.

"You are all talented people in the clan. If you are named on the gold list in the future, I don't ask you to be the prime minister, but I only hope that you will retire safely!"

"Fame and wealth, a sharp weapon for killing!" This was Tian Jingtong's last thought.

The ghost head knife fell, and Tian Jingtong's head flew high.

The people in the crowd applauded for a while, and they were grateful to Prince Yong's Mansion, which upheld justice, and Zhao Yanxun himself.

And those dignitaries who hide among the common people all have bad faces, Zhao Yanxun is trying to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys.

Letting the common people out of the city was done by these dignitaries who urged Tian Jingtong to do it, so how could they not be worried.
