After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 120 Execution Field
April [-]th was the last subject of Chunwei's retrial.

However, there was another big event of great importance today.

Du Zhengen will be executed in public at noon today.

The execution ground was set at Dongshi Jiekou, and Du Jing personally supervised the execution.After a while, he rushed here in a hurry.

Dajing seldom carries out executions in spring, and generally offenders are detained until autumn.All death penalty cases need to be reported to the Ministry of Punishment at the beginning of autumn, and the Ministry of Punishment will conduct unified verification before the autumn verdict.

But Du Zhengen's case was ordered by the emperor as a special case, so the execution was not postponed until autumn as usual.

The common people in Shengjing have always liked to join in the fun. When they heard that the criminal who killed the emperor's concubine was being executed this time, the crowd immediately rushed to tell the truth, arrived on time, and surrounded the execution ground.

Today is a sunny day, until noon, the sun makes people sweat a little.

Du Jing was sitting on the main seat of the execution stage, with fine sweat dripping from his forehead, but he didn't wipe it off, he just stared straight at the execution ground, never taking his eyes off Du Zhengen who was kneeling in the middle.

Du Zhengen was kneeling on the execution platform in prison uniform, with a death sign on his back, half of his hair was loose, and the green stubble had grown out under his forehead, looking very carefree.

Du Jing's eyes were gloomy, the line of his jaw collapsed very tightly, he seemed to be sinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd.

"Is this the first one to be beheaded at Caishikou this year?"

"you do not say."

"The one sitting in the middle wearing the red robe is Mr. Du from the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Who else in the Ministry of Punishment can wear a red robe besides Du Shangshu?"

"Tsk tsk, how do you feel about him beheading his own nephew?"

"How do you feel? Do you think that these officials and lords are just like you, and it's hard to be a baby for generations? What's more, the lords of the Ministry of Punishment are notoriously hard-hearted..."

"That's not what I said. I heard that the one who was beheaded this time was actually Master Du's own son."

"My own son? Where did you hear that?"

"Gossip, gossip..."

"Tsk tsk, these big families, the relationship inside is really chaotic."

……

Although the discussion in the crowd was quiet, a few words still drifted into Du Jing's ears, and also into the ears of his subordinates.

"My lord, do you want to make the crowd quieter?" The head of the criminal department asked from the side.

Du Jing still looked at Du Zhengen on the stage without blinking. After a while, he turned his head to look at him as if he was unresponsive, and asked, "What time is it?"

The master glanced at the sundial next to him and said, "Return to your lord, it's a quarter past noon."

Du Jing frowned slightly, looked away, looked at the stage again, and didn't speak.

The master didn't ask any more questions.He could see that his leader was anxious.

Although he didn't know why he was anxious, it was obviously wise to keep silent at such times.

So he pretended nothing happened and retreated to his position, raised his head and squinted his eyes to see the sun that was rising in the sky.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd of onlookers.

A woman in the crowd was stopped by the execution ground by officers and soldiers, and she started to quarrel.

"I am Du Jing's wife. I want to see you, sir. How dare you stop me!" The woman was dressed luxuriously, aged 40 or [-], with a tall and straight figure and a pair of shining phoenix eyes. This loud shout was a bit majestic .

The officers and soldiers on duty were stunned by her drinking, and then they came back to their senses, and said: "The execution ground is a heavy place, no one who has nothing to do can wait to make trouble!"

"It's nothing to do with people?" The woman glared at the officers and soldiers, then turned to look at Du Zhengen, who was kneeling on the ground with his back to her, her expression softened immediately, her eyes were full of panic and distress.

She pointed to Du Zhengen on the stage and said: "It is my son you are going to kill." She turned her hand and pointed to the middle of the execution stage, and said, "The execution officer is my husband. You say I am irrelevant?"

Her voice was stern, and the amount of information in this sentence was too great, which immediately caused an uproar among the crowd. Even the officers and soldiers who blocked her were speechless for a while, but the spears in their hands did not move at all, and did not intend to back down.

Seeing the tragic situation of her son, Xu Shi made the woman even more emotional. She angrily reprimanded Du Jing on the execution ground across half of the execution ground: "Du Jing, tiger poison doesn't even eat children! You are so cruel, you are in vain. Husband, it’s even more useless to be a father, you will be punished by heaven! You have the ability to kill your own son, why don’t you dare to let me know? You are a conscienceless white-eyed wolf. You want to kill my son secretly! Do you think I won’t know if you lock me up? Let me tell you, if you dare to touch my son, I’ll be a ghost and I won’t let you go!”

Her voice was sharp and her words were vulgar, like a thunderbolt passed through the crowd and landed in Du Jing's ears.

Du Jing's expression was already ugly, he looked at Qian from a distance, as if he couldn't believe that she appeared here.

The surrounding crowd has long been boiling like a boiling pot, chirping and chattering.

Who would have imagined that it was supposed to be a bloody scene of beheading, but singing and singing turned into a backyard gossip that people love to hear and hear.

Curiosity and excitement appeared on the faces of the crowd.

"Hey, you really hit the nail on the head. The beheaded one is really Master Du's son."

"Didn't you say it was a nephew? What's going on?"

"I heard it's a child from the adopted past."

"Hey, what happened to Mrs. Du talking about stealing women?"

"I don't believe what she said. When Master Du was young, he was the head of the four sons of the capital. With his appearance and status, he still needs to steal? If you say steal, it's almost as if it's a woman stealing him..."

There was laughter all around.

Among the bustling crowd, Qian Shi ruthlessly pushed a spear that was blocked in front of her, but failed to push it.

She looked at the officers and soldiers with guns and said, "I want to confront you adults, how dare you stop me?"

Seeing that the other party was indifferent, Qian looked up at Du Jing again and said angrily: "Du Jing, you are sitting there like a dog and pretending to be a coward! If I didn't have my father back then, how could you be the second son of a concubine? Come to be the head of the Du family? What? Seeing that my Qian family is not as good as before, you kicked me away, married that vixen and rushed to become Gu Ge's brother-in-law. In order to please that vixen, you It's not enough to push my second brother out to take the blame for you, but now I want my Ener's life..."

At the end her voice trembled a little, and a pair of round phoenix eyes looked at Du Jing, tremblingly rolling down a string of tears.

She raised her chin slightly, her eyes were full of resentment caused by love and hatred and the determination to burn everything together.

Sad and deplorable, embarrassing.

Du Jing frowned fiercely, finally got up, lifted the hem of his clothes and led the people down the prison stage, parting the crowd all the way to the front of Qian.

The couple, who have been together for nearly 20 years, briefly exchanged glances among the rowdy crowd.

"Come with me." After Du Jing finished speaking, she turned around and left.
