Thank you sir, he is still outputting!

Xie Zhao really colluded with Beiyan's people!

As soon as the news came out, the whole court was shocked.

And since Zuo Jinwu Wei Cui Boxiu swore that he had found the traitorous letter from Xie Zhao, the whole capital city was like oil in boiling water.

Naturally, some people who don't like Xie Zhao come out and say sour words, thinking that Xie Zhao is a person who acts recklessly and has no regard for the overall situation. Seeing how he was getting along with Prince Beiyan in the past, he would do such a thing It is also expected.

But at the same time, a large number of common people felt sorry for Xie Zhao, thinking that this matter was ridiculous and there were many strange things.

"How much Grand Tutor Xie and General Xie have done for Dayu, is it possible that you all have forgotten? I absolutely do not believe that Grand Tutor Xie will raise a man who is lawless and treacherous!"

"There are quite a few people in the capital who have met Mr. Xie. Whether it is the grandma who sells candied chestnuts or the uncle who sells candied haws, who would not praise Mr. Xie for being humble and gentle, getting along with him is like a spring breeze blowing on the face, and he is at ease? If it is really a Is it necessary for an ambitious, heartless and virtuous person to act in front of everyone?"

"Yes, there must be someone who wants to frame Mr. Xie!"

"Master Xiao Xie has done so many things since he came to Beijing. At this time, the person who jumped out of the well and made a fool of himself has no eyes? Before Feng Delin's family caused many people in the capital to complain to the sky. If Master Xiao Xie did not uphold justice, I still don't know that family is wicked. No matter how many people people want to kill, just relying on this matter, I will remember Master Xiao Xie for a lifetime."

……

After the news of Xie's army's defeat came, the court was also in chaos.

Zhang Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, believed that Xie Zhao was inseparable from this defeat, and with the evidence of Xie Zhao’s crime found by Cui Boxiu, Zhang Ruhui directly invited the prime minister and the queen mother after scolding Xie Zhao for half an hour full of righteous indignation. , I request that Xie Zhaowumen be executed as soon as possible, so as to comfort the heroic souls of General Liao and Xie Jiajun.

As soon as this memorial came out, although Yu Shitai and Lin Ying and others objected, a large number of officials also expressed their approval.

Prime Minister Xu Yixin lost to the advice of most of the officials in the court, he could only sigh in the end, obeyed the opinions of the officials, sentenced Xie Zhao to death, and ordered him to be executed immediately.

"Too much deception! Really too much deception!"

He Fang's eyes turned red with anger, and he went straight to the Meridian Gate.A lot of old people, and a weak official, at this time, I don't know where the strength came from, but he broke free from the Jinwu guard who was guarding the side, picked up the drumstick directly in front of everyone, and beat it hard!

"Om-"

The drumhead was hammered vigorously, making a long, thick and deep sound, which was deafening.

But what was more shocking than the sound of the drum was Master He's unbearable roar of grief.

"Xie Zhao is innocent—"

That knock was so hard that the tiger's mouth was even a little numb at the moment.But He Fang's eyes were still tearing, he held the drumstick again, and beat the drum with all his strength: "Ring the drum to appeal for grievances, I will not accept it for Xie Zhao! He Fang is willing to use the head of the project as a guarantee, thank you Zhao is not guilty! Xie Zhao is not guilty!"

What's the situation now?

The son of heaven is still young, the prime minister is overbearing, there are powerful enemies plundering the city outside, there are countless disputes inside, soldiers defend the city and die, it is hard to say that good ministers are imprisoned, the king is not the king, and the minister is not the minister. What's the use?

But He Fang still wants to knock!

For Xie Zhao, for himself, and for Dayu's surviving conscience, he wanted to beat this drum!What's the matter if you lose your official title, and lose the etiquette, justice, and shame you have learned for decades, which makes people feel chilly!

Cui Boxiu got off his horse, seeing that He Fang was about to start beating drums to complain again, he couldn't help being surprised and angry: "He Fang is really crazy!"

Angrily glaring at the stunned Jin Wuwei, he hastily scolded: "Hurry up and bring Mr. He down!"

Only then did the Jinwu guards come to their senses, looked at each other in a panic, and ran towards Mingyuangu, pulling He Fang's arms and shoulders one by one, and took him off the stage.

He Fang was so angry that he kicked a Jinwu guard directly, and while trying to break free from the shackles on his shoulders, he cursed viciously: "A bunch of lackeys, don't touch me!"

Two fists are no match for four hands, He Fang was still pulled down by the Jinwu guards.

Before Cui Boxiu could catch his breath, he heard the sound of the drum beeping again!

Where did they come to join in the fun!

Cui Boxiu looked angrily, but saw that the drumstick that He Fang had thrown aside in a panic had been picked up again by a young man with good facial features.The young civil servant was wearing a blue official uniform, threw off his official cap in a fit of righteous indignation, rolled up his sleeves, and slammed the drumstick in his hand against the drum!

"Pan Yue refuses to accept, Yushitai refuses to accept!"

This person is Pan Yue, Xie Zhao's colleague at Yushitai.

Glancing at the Jinwu guards behind him starting to pounce on him, Pan Yue hastily knocked the hammer again, hissing his dantian, and hissed, "Xie Zhao is innocent—"

One by one, Yushitai is all lunatics!

Cui Boxiu's mouth was about to burst into blisters, and he was so angry that he held the long sword in his hand and was about to move forward, but before the sword was pulled out, a pair of white and slender hands grabbed his wrist and held his hand firmly. .

Pei Shaonan smiled politely: "Why, even beating the drums to complain? The power of the Jinwu Guard is not so powerful, right?"

Cui Boxiu sneered and wanted to shake off his hand, but he didn't expect Pei Shaonan to move quickly. Not only did he not touch him at all, but his other hand took advantage of the trend to pull the long sword and its sheath away from his waist, and then threw it On the ground not far away.

"And watch quietly."

As if he had touched something dirty, Pei Shaonan took out a neatly folded square scarf from his sleeve, then wiped his fingers carefully, closed his eyes and sneered, "Master Xu hasn't said anything yet, Cui Xing There is no need for adults to act like they want to kill people to silence them."

Cui Boxiu smiled coldly: "What's the matter with Mr. Pei?"

As if hearing some big joke, Pei Shaonan also laughed, and asked in a good voice: "Then Mr. He and the others beat the drums to complain, and what's the matter with Mr. Cui?"

He let out a long groan, and said inexplicably, "Could it be that Master Cui also got involved in the injustice they mentioned?"

His face twitched a few times, Cui Boxiu gritted his teeth, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"...Pei Shaonan, let's be proud of you for the past few days. After taking care of Xie Zhao, who do you think will be next?"

Dropping those words in a low voice, Cui Boxiu gave Pei Shaonan a final look, then sneered, and waved his sleeve away without looking at his long sword that was thrown to the ground.

Behind him, Pei Shaonan looked at his back for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Cui Boxiu, I'll give you these words as well."

You are proud of these few days.

On this day, the drums of the Meridian Gate rang until late at night.

At the beginning, it was the censor of Yushitai who was beating the drum, followed by some silent officials in the court. Later, many silent people in Beijing began to take turns beating the drum spontaneously.

Xiaofeng held Yuanniang's hand, his eyes were slightly red.

After a long time, he shook Yuanniang's hand and looked expectantly: "Mother... can I go?" He lowered his head and said, "Thank you, sir, for helping us and treating me very well. I believe he is not People like that..."

Yuan Niang smiled softly, patted his head, and only said: "Go."

Not far away, Wan Xu took a bite of the candied haws. After chewing twice, he frowned at the sourness of the hawthorn. Impatiently, he threw all the rest of the candied haws to the attendant behind him: "It's so unpalatable."

He muttered again: "What's so delicious about this kind of thing?"

The waiter asked in a low voice: "Usually you hate this kind of snack the most, why did you suddenly become interested in trying it today?"

Wan Xu glanced at him sideways, and said with a half smile: "I need you to teach me what I do?"

Hearing the sound of drums ringing in his ears again, he looked back at the Forbidden Court swallowed by darkness, and hummed softly: "This life, if it's just a little more exciting, it's all in vain. trip."

The attendant thought he was mocking the censors at Yushitai, so he couldn't help being speechless, and could only echo a few words at will.

Wan Xu smiled leisurely without explaining.

The tip of his tongue touched the palate, feeling the sweet and sour taste in his mouth, Wan Xu reached out and snatched the candied haws from the attendant's hand, bit a hawthorn, and continued to chew while frowning.

After struggling to finish a whole candied haws, he asserted: "Normal people don't eat this stuff, it tastes weird."

But you still ate it. According to you, are you a normal person or not?

The attendant was speechless and could only smile dryly without saying a word.

The stars rotated, the sky was bright, and it was another sunny day.

Xie Zhao saw the rising sun hanging high in the sky through the skylight, and calculated that it would not be long before noon, when he heard the rustling sound of the prison door behind him.

He turned around, looked at the jailer who was opening the prison door, and asked, "Is this the hour?"

It was the first time for the jailer to see someone so calm and self-possessed before dying, and he was surprised in his heart, feeling that he was indeed the queen of the Xie family.But when he thought that the Xie family, which was famous all over the world in the past, would end up in the end, he couldn't bear to feel a little sad.

He sighed silently. Although Xie Zhao is in a bad situation now, the jailer's tone is still very respectful. He leaned forward slightly, and stretched out his hand respectfully: "Master Xie, let's go."

It stands to reason that Xie Zhao has already been deprived of his official position at this time, so he can't deserve his thank you sir.But looking at Xie Zhao, who was still elegant and calm in a snow-white prison uniform, the jailer couldn't help shouting.

There are such people in this world, even in prison, they are still graceful.

Some people's strength of character is always unbendable by the wind and unbreakable by the rain.

When Xie Zhao walked out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the afternoon sun shone down on his body, and after staying in the cold prison for a long time, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover it.His eyelashes blinked a few times, and after he got used to it, he put down his hands, glanced left and right, and asked casually, "Master Lian didn't come today?"

The jailer replied: "Lord Lian was ordered by Master Yang to do self-reflection at home."

Xie Zhao smiled, didn't care too much, and strode onto the prison car.

The road from the Ministry of Justice to the Meridian Gate has long been cleared.Cui Boxiu had already dispatched some guards from the capital to stand by the roadside, isolating the bustling people on the roadside.

Wan Xu stood outside the crowd, looked at Xie Zhao in the prison car, couldn't help but smiled, and joked with the attendants: "Look at Mr. Xie's appearance, and look at these people on the side of the road. Do you think this scene is very strange?" Familiar? Does it look like the scene where Mr. Xie, the number one scholar in high school, rode a horse and paraded through the streets?"

Before the attendant could say anything, a child rushed out from the side and kicked Wan Xu's calf unexpectedly!

The boy with snow-white skin and a pair of black eyes that looked like a pair of black grapes blushed and scolded him: "You are not allowed to say that, thank you sir, you scoundrel!"

What strength does a child have? Wan Xu didn't feel much pain when he was kicked, but it was true that he was a little dazed.

When he saw the boy's appearance clearly, he laughed angrily, bent over and approached the boy, and said in a strange way: "Are you the boy named A Yue?"

He reached out and patted A Yue's head, his voice was gentle, but his eyes were cold: "Be obedient, get out of here, and don't provoke me."

Seeing that the child was taken aback by fright, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes widened even more angrily, Wan Xu was amused.

He straightened up and saw that his robe had been stained with black ash, and he made no effort to hide his disgust: "The offspring of the barbarians are really stubborn."

The attendant had always known that this adult had a serious cleanliness obsession, and thought that the cute boy would inevitably suffer some hardships today, but he did not expect that Wan Xu was only threatening with words, but did nothing in reality.

He let out a sigh of relief for the boy, shrunk his neck tremblingly, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, do you want to go back and change your clothes?"

"I won't change it for now."

Wan Xu rubbed his brows, looked back at the prison car that had disappeared from sight, and looked up to the north with deep eyes: "There are still people waiting for me to meet."

see who?

The attendant couldn't figure it out and scratched his head.

"Master Xie, how are you doing these days?"

Cui Boxiu finally met Xie Zhao at the Meridian Gate.Thinking of how he was being played around by this kid not long ago, he couldn't help but sneered, and directly grabbed Xie Zhao's arm, trying to drag Xie Zhao down.

The next moment, a strong wind hit, Cui Boxiu was startled, subconsciously turned his head and let go of his hands to avoid it, and took a step back.

With a bang, the rotten egg flew past Cui Boxiu, fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, the egg white mixed with the yolk flowed out, giving off an unpleasant stench.

"Don't touch Master Xiao Xie!"

Cui Boxiu's face darkened, and he turned his head to look aside, trying to find out who was so bold as to attack court officials.

But he watched for a long time, and only saw different but equally angry faces mixed in the crowd. Who would know which egg was thrown?

Xie Zhao watched coldly from the side, and said with a sneer, "It seems that everyone thinks your behavior is rude."

Cui Boxiu sarcastically said, "Xie Zhao, you can only show off your quick tongue now."

He looked Xie Zhao up and down maliciously: "After a while, the head will fall to the ground. Even if your mouth can break the sky, it will be useless."

Xie Zhao glanced at him lightly, gently waved away the outstretched hand of the jailer at the side, and jumped off the prison car by himself.

"What will happen until the last moment, who knows."

He laughed so softly that only he could hear him.

Cui Boxiu didn't bother to care about what he was muttering, anyway, in his eyes, Xie Zhao was just a moving corpse now.He didn't need to pay attention to what the corpse said.

Cui Boxiu snorted with so many people staring at him, but he still didn't touch Xie Zhao, but instead ordered the jailer to take Xie Zhao to the guillotine.

Xie Zhao walked slowly step by step, but the shouts of the common people not far away became louder.

Xie Zhao glanced over the crowd, and saw many familiar people, including the grandmother who sold candied chestnuts, the uncle who had the candied haws he frequented, Yuanniang and Xiaofeng, and a woman led by her father not far away. Ah Yue started.

They are all here.

His eyes didn't stop at one particular place, but turned his head to look north.The sun was warm, and it was as warm as spring on the body. With the wind blowing, the hair was raised to the corners of the lips. Xie Zhao's eyelashes moved slightly, and he sighed softly.

It's finally coming to an end...

He looks so good, wearing the snow-white prison uniform on him, not only does he not look downcast, but it sets off his fair skin, his facial features are outstanding, he blinks and bows his head, it is indescribably leisurely and unhurried.

Among the crowd, many people had seen him riding a horse through the streets. Now that time had passed, the number one scholar would stand on the guillotine one day. Their eyes were reddened, and they were filled with indignation and regret.

Uncle, who sells candied haws, couldn't hold back his tearful eyes, sobbing, "It seems that not long ago, Mr. Liao and Mr. Xie came to my place to buy candied haws..."

Who knew that in the blink of an eye, one would die for the country, and the other would soon...

Cui Boxiu asked, "Has the time come yet?"

The executioner who was already on standby said in a deep voice, "It's still a quarter away."

Cui Boxiu stood in front of Xie Zhao, raised his head and said, "Xie Zhao, it's time for you to kneel down and prepare for punishment."

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "I, Xie Zhao, have always knelt on the sky, on the ground, on my father and mother, on the king and on the dead, all my life. I don't know which category Master Cui belongs to?"

He looked away: "Before my head falls, you don't have to rush to accept my gift."

"Xie Zhao, have you ever told me that your high-spirited appearance makes people want to trample you into the mud."

Cui Boxiu stared at Xie Zhao for a long time, but he was not angered by Xie Zhao's words. Instead, he sighed regretfully: "Looking thin and weak, your bones are as hard as your father's. Your Xie family is really kind, it's a pity... ..."

"Blocking other people's way, being a thorn in their heart, no wonder they will be uprooted, leaving no way out."

Cui Boxiu finally said: "I hope you can have a longer memory in your next life. It may not be a good thing to show your sharpness."

Guessing that the time is coming soon, Cui Boxiu thought that he would go back to report later, so he raised his hand to signal the executioner to do it, not to waste any more time: "Do it."

The executioner took the order, and one of them pressed Xie Zhao as if he was going to push him to the ground, while the other gave a grinning grin, and approached Xie Zhao after lighting up the blade: "Master Xie, I've offended you!"

The people in the audience were crying and shouting more and more, Cui Boxiu suddenly didn't dare to see what would happen next, and turned his head away.

In the next second, screams from the audience sounded like a wave!

Cui Boxiu could only hear the sharp wind of the sword coming towards him suddenly. With years of experience in martial arts, his brain hadn't reacted yet, and his body had subconsciously stepped back, so as to avoid the oncoming sharp blow!

"Who are you!" Cui Boxiu yelled angrily, terrified.

"I am your old man."

The executioner, who had been keeping his head down and looking at the ordinary one, let out a sinister grin, raised his head to look at Cui Boxiu, put the long knife on his shoulder, tilted his head, and said in a ruffian way: "Take a good look at your father's face." , don’t find someone to claim your life after becoming a ghost!”

This person is

Cui Boxiu searched out the name of this person from his memory, and said in shock, "Zeng Cheng!"

Zeng Cheng let out a cry, approached Cui Boxiu with a long knife in his hand, and said with a smirk, "As expected of your father's obedient son, he finally knows your father's and my name!"

Zeng Cheng had met Qin Houde a few times in the palace before, Cui Boxiu had only met him a few times, logically speaking he should not remember Zeng Cheng, but Zeng Cheng had deep eyebrows and eyes, different from Dayu people, That's impressive.

Now that he recognized Zeng Cheng, Cui Boxiu was incredulous and flustered for a moment.This is the capital!How could someone from Beiyan appear!

Could it be...

Cui Boxiu scolded: "Xie Zhao, so you are really with—"

People from Beiyan are mixed together!

All the unfinished words were frightened and swallowed by Zeng Cheng's long knife stuck in his throat. When he reacted, he subconsciously touched the saber at his waist.

Zeng Cheng let out a laugh, raised his foot and kicked Cui Boxiu's hand away, then turned around the blade at a swift speed, hit Cui Boxiu's chest hard with the handle of the knife, and knocked Cui Boxiu to the ground!

Cui Boxiu has never suffered such humiliation in his life!

He opened his mouth and wanted to shout something, but Zeng Cheng's reaction was much faster than his. He simply and neatly removed his jaw and sealed his mouth.

"If you're good, your father, I guess, can make you go happily."

Zeng Cheng's eyes were gloomy, and he patted Cui Boxiu's cheek vigorously: "There are no Beiyan people here, and the ones in front of you are just unknown pawns of Xie Jiajun."

Xie Jiajun...?

Cui Boxiu was stunned again.

The sound of iron riding horseshoes in his ears was getting closer and closer, Zeng Cheng laughed loudly, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Prime Minister Xu Yixin colluded with King Beiyan to poison the late emperor and frame Zhongliang. !"

But after a while, the crowd shouted: "Xie Jiajun is here! I saw Master Liao bringing Xie Jiajun! Master Liao is not dead!"

Liao Qingfeng is here.Xie Jiajun is here.

There was one more person.

Xie Zhao held the wrist of the person beside him, and raised his head: "I don't know where the executioner came from, but there is no blood today?"

"My lord Xie is like a star king like a moon. I have admired you for a long time, and today I finally see you, and I am fascinated."

Taking advantage of the trend, interlocking fingers with Xie Zhao, the man's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he touched Xie Zhao's forehead, and smiled lowly: "Whoever wants to see Mr. Xie's blood, I want him to see the blood himself."

Xie Zhao looked at him with bright eyes and a smile.

"Will the crown prince be a fool who disregards the world for the sake of beauty?"

Fu Ling pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Actually... already."
