Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Lord Pingyang glanced at Lord Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru, and was immediately dissatisfied: "What's the matter, why are the clothes on these two people so clean?"

The confidant continued to answer: "This is Wu Xinjun's request after he visited the prison yesterday."

Pingyang Jun said viciously: "Since it is Zhao Kuo's words, why didn't you tell Benhou in advance?"

The confidant was speechless.

From the point of view of his confidants, why should he report such a trivial matter to his lord?

I didn't expect that such a trivial matter would offend Ni Lin.

Lord Pingyang snorted and said, "Execute the punishment!"

The confidant hesitated to speak.

Originally, a top minister like Lin Xiangru could actually let him say a few last words before he died, but Lord Pingyang just made it clear that he didn't want to hear the last words, so he just wanted to do it directly.

The confidant had no choice but to run to deliver the order.

A moment later, the three executioners raised their swords at the same time and lowered them down again.

Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, the heads of Mr. Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru, and Le Cheng were cut off at the same time, and blood spattered everywhere.

Watching this scene, Mr. Pingyang finally let out a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.

From now on, Da Zhao will be the era of this Marquis!

Chapter 729 Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng's Last Attendant Li Tong

Wu Xinjun Mansion.

Zhao Kuo sat in the lobby, quietly listening to Xu Li's return.

"According to the news from the execution ground, Zhao Sheng, Lin Xiangru, and Le Cheng have just been beheaded for public display, and their heads are hung on the flagpole."

Zhao Kuo frowned when he heard this: "This Lord Pingyang, isn't your own brother even willing to give you a whole body?"

Xu Li said: "The corpse is still being thrown around the execution ground for public display, no one dares to restrain it."

This is also a very normal thing. In the great storm in the Zhao country's political arena that just passed, anyone who is not a fool knows that the three of them belong to the losers who lost the political struggle.

The victors who defeated these three people are now standing high above the court overlooking all this, who dares to risk the disgrace of the world, and collect the corpses of these three people at this time?

Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have the descendants of Lord Pingyuan and Lord Xin departed?"

Xu Li said: "Yes, today they set off from the prison in Handan Mansion and sent Mobei directly as slaves."

Zhao Kuo sighed, and said, "Tell Mobei about it, and let them live a good life."

Just at this time, another manager of the Zhao residence suddenly came in and said, "My lord, there is someone outside who claims to be Ping Yuan's retainer and wants to see him."

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment: "Mr. Pingyuan's disciple?

let him in. "

Xu Li hurriedly said: "My lord, Lord Pingyuan has just died, these disciples may not know what you have done for Lord Pingyuan, what if you came to assassinate him?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Aren't you still there, Uncle Xu?"

A moment later, a man in his twenties, who was very plainly dressed, walked into the lobby and saluted Zhao Kuo: "Li Tong, Li Tong, I have met you."

"Li Tong?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Tong with some doubts. He always felt that he had heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it all at once.

Behind Zhao Kuo, Xu Li reminded softly: "My lord, this person is wearing filial piety."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Li Tong, are you here for Mr. Pingyuan?"

Li Tong nodded and said: "Mr. Wu Xin is indeed wise, I am indeed here for my lord."

Zhao Kuo said: "Your royal family has already been beheaded for public display."

Li Tongdao: "That's right, and he's still dead. His body will be eaten by vultures and chicks."

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Li Tongdao: "Li Tong is not talented, so I dare to ask you to come forward and collect the bodies of my family's lord, Lin Xiangru and Wu Ding lord Lecheng."

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Tong with a calm face, and said, "You should know why your prince died."

Li Tong said calmly: "Of course.

He failed in the struggle with you Wu Xinjun and Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, and was executed by you. "

Zhao Kuo laughed suddenly: "Since you already know, why are you still looking for this Marquis?"

Li Tongdao: "Because you didn't come to the execution ground today, Mr. Wu Xin, it shows that you still have some affection for my Lord and Marquis in your heart, and you can't bear to see them die tragically on the spot."

Zhao Kuo didn't speak.

Li Tong continued: "Although I am not talented, my father is a small official in the Handan Guest House, and I know some officials in the Handan Prison.

I heard from those officials that my family has been tortured during this period, but today my family was wearing clean clothes when he was beheaded. Presumably this has something to do with Wu Xinjun's visit to the prison yesterday. "

Zhao Kuo's expression moved slightly, but he still didn't speak.

Li Tong's expression was still calm, and he continued: "And I also inquired about a piece of news, that is, all the descendants of my family's lord were sent to Mobei today, and Mobei happened to be the territory you conquered by Wu Xinjun.

If my guess is correct, although they escaped death on the way to Mobei, it is not a problem to survive after arriving in Mobei. "

Zhao Kuo still did not speak.

Li Tong respectfully saluted Zhao Kuo: "Although I am one of the thousands of guests of my lord, I have always been kept in the mansion by my lord, and I have not made any contribution to my lord. During the fierce battle in Handan that day, because my father tried his best to stop him, he was unable to fight to the death for my family.

Now that my lord is dead, Li Tong only asks Wu Xinjun that you can come forward to restrain my lord so that he can die with dignity as much as possible.

If you can do it, Li Tong is willing to work hard for you without any complaints! "

Li Tong bent down deeply and bowed to the ground.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Tong, and suddenly said, "Why do you think it's me, not your younger brother Pingyang Jun?"

Li Tong straightened up and replied, "Because Mr. Pingyang smiled very happily in the execution ground today."

Zhao Kuo said again: "Then how do you know that Benhou is not smiling at home?

In fact, what you just said is all your own guesswork.

You have to know that if I think differently from you, your ending will be that you will never be able to leave this mansion. "

Li Tong was silent for a while, then said: "It's really just my guess.

But I've backed off twice and don't want to back down again. "

For the first time, when Mr. Pingyuan's mansion was besieged, Li Tong did not stand up.

The second time, when Mr. Pingyuan was executed, Li Tong still did not stand up.

For the third time, in front of Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's mansion, Li Tong hesitated again and again, but chose to knock on the door in front of him.

It's actually pretty stupid.

Everyone knew that it was Lord Pingyang and Lord Wu Xin who defeated Li Tong's lord, Lord Pingyuan. Seeking to see Lord Wu Xin at this time was simply a narrow escape, no, ten deaths and no life.

But Li Tong still did it.

People can succumb to power, be timid, and be hanged and beaten by this society, no problem.

But would you rather be a coward for the rest of your life, or a hero for once?

Even just once, be your own hero.

So Li Tong stood here.

Li Tong also knew that if he died, he would only be regarded as a fool who went against the trend.

Li Tong stood upright, waiting for Zhao Kuo's reply.

Even if you die, at least let everyone in this world know.

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, after all, there are still people who are willing to die with him.

Even if there is only one.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Tong, was silent for a while, and sighed.

"More than 200 years ago, my Zhao family was led by our ancestor Zhao Xiangzi to destroy the Zhi family.

Zhibo had a retainer named Yu Rang, in order to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi, he disfigured his face, made his voice hoarse, abandoned his wife and son, severed all ties with all his friends, and assassinated Zhao Xiangzi twice.

Everyone was very emotional, thinking that Zhi Shi had made a good customer.

Now, Ben Hou also wants to say that Zhao Xiangzi's descendant Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng also has a good disciple! "

Zhao Kuo stood up, walked up to Li Tong, and patted Li Tong on the shoulder.

"What are you still doing?

Let's go to the market with Benhou to collect Mr. Pingyuan! "

Chapter 730

Zhao Kuo's carriage drove out of the mansion all the way, and soon came to the gate of the vegetable market.

The execution had long since ended, but there were still many onlookers staying here at this moment, pointing at the three heads hanging high above the flagpole.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Pingyuan's generation of virtuous ministers ended up in such a fate."

"Xinjun Lin Xiangru was famous all over the world in the Mianchi meeting and returning to Zhao. He made great contributions to Zhao. I didn't expect that he even hung his head on the flagpole today. He died without a whole body. .”

"Sure enough, politics is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry."

There are many people who discuss Lord Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru, but there are very few people who discuss Le Cheng.

On the one hand, it’s because Le Cheng’s qualifications are relatively low, and he doesn’t have any outstanding records. Of course, the more important reason is because in the previous book of Yue Fei’s biography, Le Cheng was directly connected with Qin Hui’s identity, which led to Lecheng's reputation in Handan City and even in the entire Zhao Kingdom is very bad.

When Zhao Kuo's carriage arrived, everyone naturally moved out of the way.

Today, Zhao Kuo was not riding in a carriage with bees as carriages, but an aristocratic cable car with a flashing cover on the head, so the onlookers naturally saw Zhao Kuo's face at once.

The next moment the onlookers were shocked, and once again there was a lot of discussion.

"Why is Wu Xinjun here?"

"Mr. Wu Xin, Mr. Yuan and Mr. Wu Xin are all enemies, and Mr. Le Cheng is a big enemy. Is it normal for him to come to see the excitement?"

"What do you know? You must know that Wu Xinjun was appointed by the king as the deputy supervisor and beheader before, but Wu Xinjun didn't show up when he was beheading, and now he came here after he died. Don't you think it's strange? "

Zhao Kuo was not in the mood to pay attention to the gossip of the ordinary people around him, he just looked up at the three blurred faces on the flagpole, and then calmly said to Xu Li beside him: "Go, take this All three heads were taken down, and buried together with their bodies."

Xu Li waved his hand when he heard the words, and Zhao Kuo's retainers immediately stepped forward, climbed up the flagpole, and put their heads down.

Li Tong stood beside Zhao Kuo's carriage, watching this scene with mixed feelings on his face.

Finally, Li Tong couldn't hold back the emotions in his heart anymore, stepped forward, and kowtowed respectfully to Mr. Pingyuan's body a few times.

"My lord, you can go in peace.

As long as Li Tong is alive, he will definitely pass on your will! "

The onlookers looked at Li Tong and became more and more curious, and asked around, wanting to know Li Tong's identity.

Finally, someone in the know spoke up.

"Isn't that Li Tong, the former retainer in Pingyuan's mansion?"

"I also know him. When Mr. Pingyuan's mansion was breached, this Li Tong went somewhere to hide. He didn't expect to hug Mr. Wu Xin's thigh now!"

"Looking at the situation, the reason why Wu Xinjun is willing to take action is probably a large part of the reason why he was moved by what Li Tong said."

"At first I thought that Li Tong was a coward, but now it seems that there are still merits."

Zhao Kuo watched this scene quietly, couldn't help sighing, and bowed his hands towards the three heads on the flagpole.

At this time, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a little emotional. If he was the one who failed, would his head also hang on these flagpoles?

After thinking about it, Zhao Kuo came to a negative conclusion.

If Zhao Kuo really failed, I am afraid that waiting for Zhao Kuo is not an ordinary beheading and hanging on a flagpole, but a direct five-horse body, or even a thousand pieces of Ling Chi.

This is the cruelty of political struggle. If you make a wrong step, you will be completely doomed!During the conversation, the three heads had been taken down, and then the three coffins were carried over by Zhao Kuo's doormen, and they began to put the three corpses into the coffins.

Everything seemed to be going very well, and Zhao Kuo didn't intend to continue to procrastinate here, and waved his hand to signal everyone to leave with his carriage.
