The sun was in the sky, there was no cloud in the sky, the bright sunlight splashed the world, and the earth was dazzling.
Even with the scorching sun and scorching heat, the imperial capital is still empty.
As noon approached, there was a large area of darkness in front of the main gate of the palace, crowded with people, all of whom had heard the news. Because this is the place where the owl heads are displayed to the public.
For decades, the Northern Yan Kingdom has never had such a shocking event as the head of an owl. Naturally, the people will not miss this extremely cruel, bloody, and highly topical event. Most of the people drag their children along, and the whole family comes, even if they are sweating profusely, they have to wait until that important moment.
This time, hundreds of imperial guards were dispatched to maintain order and keep the onlookers outside.
Gradually, more and more people talked about it.
"Do you know what heinous crime Wan Fang and Wang Tao have committed? This owl's head is too cruel to show the public."
"Keep your voice down, if the officers and soldiers hear it, you might be beheaded too."
"The person who was sentenced to the punishment of showing the head of the owl to the public must have committed an unforgivable crime. It is the same as the car splitting and the five horses dismembering the body. Maybe it is treason."
"But Wan Fang and Wang Tao are only minor officials of the Military Weapons Supervision Department, how could they rebel against each other?"
"Who knows? There must be hundreds of people from the Wan family, the Wang family and the Nine Clans, and none of them will stay."
"If you don't cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, it is inevitable that someone will come to take revenge in the future, and it will become a serious problem."
"Do you think the court will make a wrong judgment? If the killing is wrong, wouldn't so many people die unjustly?"
"Even if the verdict is wrong, will the imperial court admit it? Besides, Wan Fang and Wang Tao work in the Military Weapons Supervision. If you think about where the Military Weapons Supervision is, you can know what they have done to commit crimes."
Some people were shocked when they heard this.
The people discussing in piles and clusters swayed like a tide.
Some people have a clear understanding of the fire, and when they mentioned it, many people understood what kind of damn Wan Fang and Wang Tao were, and they all fell silent.
The elite soldiers cleared the way, and the common people gave way to a passage, and saw a glamorous carriage slowly driving in, and then stopped.
The common people looked forward to seeing the peerless demeanor of the current regent.
One person came out and stood proudly on the shaft of the chariot, looking down at all living beings, with a look of contempt and awe-inspiring demeanor, as if he was the king of thousands of people and the master of all living beings.
The common people saw that man's handsome demeanor that surpassed the world from afar, and that man's breathtaking arrogance, and they yearned for it. Most people's eyes were fanatical and they worshiped this godlike man who saved Beiyan Kingdom. It can not only protect the family and defend the country, but also govern the country and make the country prosperous and peaceful.
Suddenly, there was another person beside the regent, who seemed to be the idiot prince.
The prince is handsome and elegant, with bright eyes and white teeth, and has a good skin. It is difficult for Dan Qing to describe his beauty, but he is an idiot.
He stood with the regent, one was the earth, the other was the sky, they were completely incomparable.
When Murong Ci saw him getting off the carriage and walking towards the execution ground, he followed him.
There are so many people who came to watch today, the surrounding area was so tight that they almost couldn't get in.
In the middle of the execution ground, the executioner with a big knife waited patiently for the arrival of the prisoners.
Murong Yu took his seat before the murder case, while she sat at the side, watching the show with him.
As noon was approaching, he signaled to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple, and then the two ordered to go down one after another to bring the prisoner up.
Not long after, the people saw two prisoners escorted by the officers and soldiers and walked onto the execution platform.
As the sun shines on the big knife in the executioner's hand, the silver light and the sun shine together, piercing people's eyes.
In fact, Wan Fang is already dead, but he still wants to show his head to the public.
And Wang Tao, who is still alive, has already lost all thoughts, his eyes are so empty that there is no life in him.
The summer was scorching hot, and there was no wind at all. Many people were sweating profusely, waiting for the bloody moment.
Murong Ci glanced inadvertently, and saw a smear of white in the crowd of civil and military ministers, Shen Zhiyan.
However, Murong Shi stood by his side.
When Murong Shi saw His Highness the Crown Prince looking at her, she couldn't help being overjoyed.
Murong Ci hastily looked back, really, it's all right to see what's going on over there
She turned her head to look at the supervisor beside her. At this moment, Murong Yu's handsome face was as cold as a snowfield, and it was so cold and biting to the bone.
The sun was in the sky, and she also felt warm, and a thought came to her suddenly: Will the young man in gold come to watch
Her eyes searched in the dark crowd, but if he came to watch, he would definitely disguise himself.
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment addressed the people of the imperial capital, pressed his hand and then raised his voice: "Wan Fang and Wang Tao have committed criminal crimes. They have committed crimes of accomplices in rebellion. The crime cannot be pardoned. The lord will show his head to the public and punish the nine clans. I hope everyone will take it as a warning and keep themselves safe."
The audience was silent.
Those onlookers bowed their heads.
Murong Ci's heart was full of ups and downs, and the deterrent effect of this execution on civil and military officials is beyond doubt.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment told Murong Yu that it was noon, and Murong Yu took out a fire lottery and threw it out neatly, with a cold expression on his face.
The two executioners waited for a long time and slowly raised their swords.
Cold light like snow, flashing like a meteor
A pool of blood flew like a rainbow
The two heads rolled to the ground, and the two criminals
The person immediately fell to the ground.
Many women, children and cowardly people hid their faces and dared not watch this cruel scene.
Then, the officers and soldiers picked up the bloody head and hung it above the wooden frame. It will be displayed to the public for three days as a deterrent.
Murong Ci thought, this scene and those two heads will become a midnight nightmare for many people.
After showing Xiao's head to the public, Murong Ci wanted to go back to the East Palace and sleep hard for a few hours. However, someone stopped her car.
Murong Shi smiled brightly, "Your Highness, let's go swimming in the river."
Qin Ruo said: "Princess, Your Highness is tired and needs to go back to the palace to rest."
Murong Shi refused to let her go, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, it's still early, so just go play for a while."
Murong Ci decided not to pamper her anymore, and suddenly shouted angrily: "You are so courageous, you dare to stop my palace's car!"
Murong Shi was stunned, His Highness was angry
"Princess, Your Highness has something important to do, so I can't play with you, an idler." Qin Ruo said with a straight face, and wanted to teach her a long time ago, but His Highness kept stopping her.
"But, people always need to rest. Your Highness should take it as a rest," Murong Shi muttered.
"Even if His Highness is free, he won't mess around with the Princess." Qin Ruo said coldly in her ear, "Your Highness knows the Princess's heart, but the Princess is still determined. Your Highness doesn't even want to talk to you. , I just think you are annoying and annoying."
"Wow"
Murong Shi burst into tears suddenly, the cry was very loud and sad, it attracted many people's attention.
Qin Ruo didn't expect her to cry in the street, and with so many people watching, she didn't know what to do for a while.
When Murong Ci in the carriage heard her crying, his brain ached.
You can't leave her in the street and walk away.
Murong Shi cried sadly: "You bullied me, His Highness bullied me"
Murong Yu came over, his eyes were cold, "What's the trouble, you burned His Highness's hand and you want to pester His Highness, do you think His Highness is just like you, just idle around all day long and still not go back?"
Hearing the voice of the third uncle reprimanding her, she immediately wiped away her tears and stopped crying, the speed was almost like turning her face, Qin Ruo was dumbfounded.
It seems that only Yu Wang can make the princess stop.
Murong Shi didn't care about resigning, so she left in a hurry.
Murong Yu entered the carriage, and Murong Ci looked at him in astonishment, "I want to go back to the East Palace, so this carriage should be lent to me."
The carriage moved forward, but there were too many people on the street, so it was not fast.
"Wanfang's painting, what's your Highness's idea?" He pressed his eyebrows slightly.
"I always feel" Seeing that he asked seriously, she frowned and said, "There is an indescribable weirdness, but it is also unpredictable."
"It's better to go to Xuanyuetan again."
"Oh, what are you doing there?"
In fact, she also knew that going to Xuanyuetan might be rewarding, but remembering what he said about bathing in the hot spring Bitan, she subconsciously resisted.
Murong Yu looked indifferent, "This king will go to Xuanyuetan later, your Highness will go or not, it's up to you."
Murong Ci gritted his teeth silently, should he go or not
Qin Ruo, who heard their conversation outside, prayed to the sky: Your Highness, you must be careful.
After struggling for a long time, Murong Ci finally decided to go to Xuanyuetan.
Resting for a while at Yuwangfu, they led more than 20 masters and galloped towards Xuanyuetan.
Under the scorching sun, Xuanyue Lake is still filled with mist, like a fairy lake in Penglai Fairyland, surrounded by fairy air, but such a hot summer is not suitable for soaking in hot springs.
The wilderness is very quiet, the howling of wild animals is heard from afar, and the chirping of kingfishers is really pleasant.
Under the action of the hot and humid soil, those few clumps of roselle are in full bloom, deep red and dazzling, charming and enchanting.
Murong Ci picked a flower to play with, and suddenly a ray of light flashed in his mind
"What are you thinking?" Murong Yu came over and asked, he looked around before, but found nothing.
"" She looked at the few roselle flowers without taking her eyes off them.
"Why do you keep looking at Luoshenhua?" He stood beside her and whispered, "Why don't we soak our feet together?"
"" She stared at him speechlessly, and continued to think hard.
"If you don't speak again, this king will take you away." He threatened.
"Don't make trouble." She frowned slightly.
Hearing these two words, Murong Yu was in a good mood, only close people would say such words.
This shows that she has regarded him as a close person.
Murong Ci murmured: "Young Master Jinyi deliberately put a roselle flower in Linglongxuan's shop to lure us here and play tricks on us. But the most dangerous place is the safest place. Xuanyue Lake has been exposed. Let's come here. Once, you won’t come back, so it’s the safest place. Based on the thoughtfulness of Mr. Jin, this is actually the place where he hides outside the city. Maybe there’s an underground world here too.”
He patted her head, "It's not too stupid. This is the purpose of this king coming here."
She looked at him in surprise, "You've already thought of that."
Murong Yu nodded, "Isn't this Prince Buran here doing something free?"
