Chapter 121 Appearance
The scorching sun made the streets of Dongshi crowded with people.On the execution ground, Du Zhengen knelt in the middle, motionless.On the supervisory stage, two officials stood straight with spears in their hands, one on the left and one on the right, but there was no one in the main seat in the middle.

There were more and more onlookers, and those who came early described the scene of "Mrs.

"I really didn't expect that the dignified second-rank Shangshu would be scolded like this by his wife in the street! What is the origin of this Mrs. Du?"

"Her father is General Dragon and Tiger Qian Yongnan. You are young and have never seen the majesty of General Dragon and Tiger. Back then, he was the legendary general who made Beidi fearful. He almost killed Beidi King City with only a few hundred people. He returned When Beijing was full of people, I only saw that scene once in my life."

"What you said is wrong. She is no longer Mrs. Du. The current Mrs. Du's surname is Cheng, and she is just a concubine of Mrs. Du."

"Is it the one she scolded the vixen just now?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! Do you know who Mrs. Du's wife is now? That's Gu Xiang's sister-in-law."

"No wonder she just said that Mrs. Du is rushing to become Gu Xiang's brother-in-law, so that's what she meant..."

"What do you think Master Du is going to do when he takes her away? He won't take her..." He said, making a hand knife on his neck.

"That's not true. Although Old General Qian is dead, the eldest son of the Qian family still has an envoy in Leizhou. He is a high-ranking official in frontiers. In terms of power, he is no less powerful than Master Du!"

"It's no wonder that the Qian family is so arrogant. It turns out that the mother's family has a backing!"

The crowd under the scorching sun was gossiping in full swing.

Suddenly, a sharp eunuch's voice sounded in the distance of the crowd.

"The Emperor is here—"

The crowd knelt down from far to near.

A group of armed guards made a way out of the crowd and let out a bright yellow sedan chair carried by eight guards. The sedan chair was much larger than ordinary sedan chairs. Although the decoration was not luxurious at a glance, it was transparent everywhere. Exuding a dignified majesty.

Behind the bright yellow sedan chair is a slightly smaller blue and black sedan chair.

The two sedan chairs fell to the ground in front of the execution ground, Qin Yang who was following beside the sedan chairs opened the bright yellow curtain, and the emperor stepped out of the sedan chairs.

The sedan chair following behind also fell to the ground, and Gu Shihai, who was wearing a red robe official uniform, walked out from inside.

The emperor got off the sedan chair, glanced around, his expression was relaxed, and there was even a three-point smile on the corner of his mouth.

In contrast, Gu Shihai's expression can be called gloomy.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—" Seeing the emperor, the crowd shouted long live.

Ye Qinghuai jumped over the crowd and went straight to the execution platform.The only official left on the stage was the head of the criminal department. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

"Why are you here alone? Where's Du Jing?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

The principal knelt without speaking, flustered and thinking about how to answer.

"I asked you something, and you answered it truthfully." Ye Qinghuai's voice could still be called peaceful.

"Return to Your Majesty, someone disturbed the order of the court, Lord Du took him down for questioning." The principal replied.

Ye Qinghuai frowned: "Nonsense! It's almost three quarters in the afternoon, and he's not here to supervise the execution. What are you going to ask? Where is he?"

"There is a garrison of the Ministry of Punishment next to the back alley..."

"Take me there." Ye Qinghuai interrupted him.

The master climbed up from the ground, not caring about shaking off the dust on the front table, and hurriedly led the way to the back alley.

Ye Qinghuai turned around and said to Gu Shihai: "Mr. Gu Ge should go too."

Gu Shihai paused for a moment, then bowed to Ye Qinghuai to show his acceptance, and then walked down the prison beheading platform with Ye Qinghuai. When he walked through the execution ground, he raised his head and glanced at the kneeling Du Zhengen, who was in the middle of the surveillance stage, frowned subconsciously.

The garrison was some way away from the execution ground. After a group of people walked for a while, the chief officer stopped, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, this is it."

There were several people on duty at the gate of the garrison. When they saw Ye Qinghuai and Gu Shihai, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

Ye Qinghuai didn't even look at the two of them, she walked quickly inside, Gu Shihai followed behind and also quickened her pace.

The hall of the garrison is open, somewhat similar to Jingzhao Mansion.There was no one in the hall, Ye Qinghuai stopped in her tracks, and was about to ask, when she heard faint human voices coming from the low room behind the hall.

She walked towards the low house.

When she reached the door, she was about to open it and enter, but she heard a sharp female voice coming from inside.

"You dare to go back!"

Then there was a sound of pushing and shoving, something fell to the ground and broke, and it could be heard that there was a fierce struggle inside.

Ye Qinghuai's hand to push the door stopped in mid-air.

Then Du Jing's voice came out: "It is a serious crime not to be beheaded before the end of time! Do you want the entire Du family to be buried with you?"

"If you dare to kill my son today, don't you all think about it! Not only you and that surnamed Cheng, but also your brother-in-law's mansion, don't even think about being alone!"

"Qian Qinfang, enough is enough!" Du Jing paused, his voice suddenly softened, and said, "Qin Fang, En'er is also my son, why should I let him go? I have changed people a long time ago, today The one on the execution ground is just a prisoner who looks like En'er."

As soon as he said this, the few people standing outside the door were startled.

Ye Qinghuai put down her hand pushing the door, slowly turned her head, and looked at Gu Shihai.

Her black eyes were as calm as water, reflecting Gu Shihai's pale face with wide-eyed anger.

But the anger quickly disappeared from Gu Shihai's face, as if he had sensed something, he cast his knife-like eyes on Ye Qinghuai, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Ye Qinghuai also looked back at him, but her eyes were still as calm as still water, only there was a vague smile hidden in her eyes.

She looked at Gu Shihai, as if waiting for him to give her an explanation.

When the eyes of the two met with lightning and thunder, the quarrel between Du Jing and Qian Shi continued in the house.

"Don't try to trick me with these words..." Qian Shi said, but her tone had already softened significantly.

"Why should I lie to you? You have been with me for so many years, don't you understand what kind of person I am? I just know that you can't hide things with your temper, so I haven't told you all this time, for fear that you will vent the bottom. Don't worry , when the limelight passes, I will arrange for you to see En'er."

After finishing speaking, hurried footsteps sounded in the room, and then the door was opened from the inside.

Du Jing, who opened the door, looked up, and saw Ye Qinghuai and Gu Shihai standing outside the door looking at each other, as well as Qin Yang and several guards following behind Ye Qinghuai.

He just felt that his mind went blank for a moment, he couldn't think of anything, he couldn't say anything, as if his body wasn't his own anymore.

Ye Qinghuai turned her head to look at Du Jing, her eyes were filled with the chill of thousands of miles of ice.

"Du Shangshu, can you tell me what's going on?"
