The Eighth Prince stood in the court and said indifferently: "Father, how should we deal with the traitor Yuan Cheng?"
A cold look flashed across Xun Jiayuan's face: "It is not a pity to die for someone who has caused harm to Jiuzhou and deceived me. He should be executed at an early age. But considering that Yuan Cheng is just for his own selfish desires, we should not embarrass his family."
"yes."
“…”
Noon on the 6th.
Yuan Cheng was escorted out of the prison, wearing heavy handcuffs and shackles, wearing prison uniform, and walked out of the White Tiger Gate of the prison with disheveled hair.
He knew he was going to die.
Will die soon. The incident happened yesterday, and he must die today.
No one wants to drag it out, no one wants to ask deeper questions. Everything that needs to be said was said yesterday.
When he turned around, he saw that his arrested brothers, sisters, old mother, and family members had all been released.
As Yuan Cheng boarded the prison car, he smiled and said, "I'm going to take the first step."
No one in his family dared to speak to him. Not even daring to look at each other, they supported each other and walked out tremblingly.
"I have already committed the crime, and no one will make things difficult for you. Live a good life from now on."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Cheng was choked up.
Heavy troops escorted the prison car to the most densely populated area of Balong City. The streets were empty, and people stood all over the street. When they saw Yuan Cheng coming, they cursed, spat at him, and threw dirty things at him.
"The great traitor!"
"You are the great traitor who brought trouble to the entire Kyushu!"
"Go to hell you!"
"No wonder I said that my business has not been as good as every year in recent years. It turns out that it is you who brought disaster to Kyushu!"
"Yes, everyone's income is getting worse year by year, and life is getting worse every year."
"It's all the fault of this big traitor."
"He doesn't know a word of Chinese characters, but he plays with Kyushu. It's strange that Kyushu is good at it!"
“…”
Listening to the curses, Yuan Cheng looked neither sad nor happy, and was escorted to the square without any expression.
Someone took off all his clothes and pants and tied him to a copper pillar.
"Yuan Cheng, do you know your guilt?"
An executive shouted loudly.
"Convicted."
"Come on, execution!"
“…”
An executioner came with a sharp knife, and another executioner came with a fishing net.
After the fishing net wrapped Yuan Cheng's whole body, it was tightened hard, and all the flesh of Yuan Cheng's body was exposed and bulged out from the fishing net.
The executioner covered his eyes with a strip of cloth, and then cut a piece of meat with a sharp knife.
'Zizzizi'
'ah'
Yuan Cheng screamed and a piece of flesh was cut off.
'Zizzizi'
'Zizzizi'
Lingchi execution!
Yuan Cheng said that he had been in charge of the government for about two years, so the emperor said that he would cut him 670 knives. Use the pain of your skin to pay for this deep sin. One day in charge, one cut.
He would have to have 670 pieces of meat cut off before he would die.
The screams echoed throughout the entire Balong City for a whole day, and the people gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again.
Looking at the bloody scene, some people couldn't help but vomit, and some people couldn't help but panic and scream.
Later, Yuan Cheng no longer had the strength to shout.
On the second day, more than two hundred cuts were performed.
At this moment, Yuan Cheng recalled his life. He rose to power by flattery and controlled the imperial city by power.
After gaining the emperor's trust again, the memorial was reviewed.
Maybe from the beginning, it was really for his own power. But Yuan Cheng doesn't remember when he started to lose any power and money, and inexplicably took the world as his own responsibility.
Maybe it started from the moment when the memorial of the world was placed in front of him, maybe it started when he saw the people's livelihood situation in the whole world. Maybe he saw that the victims here today cannot afford to eat tomorrow, the day after tomorrow they need money, and the day after tomorrow the court has no money...
busy.
tired.
Seeing the emperor indulge in those illusory things, I felt resentful in my heart.
Perhaps it is in this psychological state of hating iron that cannot be transformed into steel that you become "kind".
Two drops of bloody tears flowed from his left and right eyes.
"well."
Yuan Cheng, who no longer had the strength to scream, sighed deeply.
Then the breath ceased. This whole body sighed, and I didn't know why I was sighing.
That sigh made the executioner's body tremble and his hairs stood up involuntarily. The executioner didn't know why, but when he heard this sigh, his soul felt inexplicably throbbing. The executioner knew inexplicably that this sigh was definitely not because he was in pain...
"Yuan Cheng is dead!"
"died?"
"No. I said 670 knives, it's 670 knives. Even if you die, you have to be beheaded by me!"
“…”
——
Nanzhou, Ludao County.
"Prince, urgent report from Balong City."
"explain."
"Yuan Cheng's affairs were exposed and someone reported him. It was discovered that Yuan Cheng was causing trouble in the imperial court..."
The prince's heart skipped a beat and he didn't need to listen further. He just asked, "Who reported it?"
"An internal official named Zhang looked up to Yuan Cheng during his lifetime. But after Yuan Cheng's affair was exposed, he hanged himself."
Xun Shifei sneered: "Since he had the guts to expose it, why did he hang himself? If I'm not mistaken, it was the Eighth Prince who took the lead, right?"
"Well, the internal official reported and exposed it like the Eighth Prince."
Xun Shifei was silent for a long time and asked, "What will happen to Yuan Cheng?"
"He was executed late in the Balong City Square, with 670 cuts. He died after more than 200 cuts."
"Just back off."
“…”
Xun Shifei sat in silence for a long time on his chair, sighed deeply, then stood up and bowed deeply in the direction of Balong City.
There was a look of reluctance on his face, but there was also a determined expression.
"Kyushu is going to be in chaos."
——
Dongzhou, Laoshan County.
Li Zhen also heard the news and felt a little sad. But there is nothing we can do.
Even if there are various reasons for what Yuan Cheng did, once it is exposed, his end will be very miserable. This ending is almost doomed.
Xun Shifei let him go, but Xun Shitian did not let him go.
This kind of thing... is hard to say.
"But thank you anyway. It's hard to imagine that it was you who corrected my title. Logically speaking, you have been kind to me."
"When I go to Balong City, I will definitely offer wine at your grave."
Li Zhen stood up and bowed deeply in the direction of Balong City.
He was depressed, but Li Zhen considered another issue more seriously. Once Yuan Cheng dies, there will be no one around Xun Jiayuan. With his urinary temperament, can he still have fun in Kyushu
"Alas, Kyushu is going to be in disaster."
A heartfelt sigh.
Suddenly I heard a commotion outside: "Liu Jinghong succeeded!"
"Damn it, Liu Jinghong is flying into the sky."
"Liu Jinghong has gone to heaven. Everyone comes out to see Liu Jinghong."
"Liu Jinghong is a bird-man flying in the sky."
"Come and see. Is this a paraglider?"
“…”
Li Zhen took a cup of hot tea and walked out with square steps.
It's sunny and sunny today.
At a low altitude of two to three hundred meters, a "banana fan" rose into the sky.
The dark gray oilcloth is particularly conspicuous in the blue sky.
Liu Jinghong wore windproof glasses, a thick mask, and a bloated cotton suit. Her chest was also wrapped in an airtight plastic sheet.
Although he was shivering from the cold, he still smiled like a ghost.
"Hahaha."
"Hello, fellow students of Kyushu Academy of Sciences and fellow villagers of Laoshan County!"
A loud roar came from the sky and gradually faded away.
His entire body hung on a dark gray paraglider, passing over the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. Countless people were running wildly on the ground, pointing to the sky and shouting.
Li Zhen warmed his hands with hot tea and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I'll beat you to death like a dog."
