Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 17 Execution, screams and whimpers
In early summer, the sun rises very early, before si o'clock (nine o'clock), the shining white sunlight is so bright that one has to squint his eyes.

Today is the execution day of the Chu family.

The atmosphere in Yecheng is quite strange. People on the street are hesitant to chat about this topic. Many people just listen but don't talk about it. The acquaintances mostly just exchange glances, fearing that talking too much will cause trouble to the upper body.

The execution ground was set up in the large square near the south gate, where a high platform was temporarily set up, surrounded by a circle of imperial guards. They all wore majestic light and soft armor, with strong facial lines and stern eyes. Can feel the biting murderous aura. .

On the high platform, the heads of the Han and Li families were responsible for the execution: Han Xiangting and Li Gan.

In this battle against the Chu family, these two families contributed the most.

After the collapse of the Chu family, they reaped influence all the way. The Han family controlled the Ministry of Industry, the Li family controlled the Ministry of Households, and then stuffed clan cronies in the lower province and the remaining four ministries respectively.

It can be described as a brilliant record.

Now, only the position of prime minister remains unclaimed, and it is left to the emperor Dongfang Gui to seize it.

In the act of destroying the Chu family, the two families united unprecedentedly.

It's just that Feng Shui takes turns, and in the future, I'm afraid it will be open and secret fighting.

At Sishizheng (nine o'clock), there were 320 and eight people from the Chu family, all of whom had been escorted in. There were five people in a row, and a large area knelt down in the dark.

Normally, these are arrogant people, but now there is only whimpering and grief.

As fate would have it, they will sue no more.

Chu Dejun was kneeling in the front row, with a messy beard and a distressed expression. His eyes were extremely strange, and he looked at the two people on the stage with a half-smile.

"Retribution, you will all have retribution," he hissed.

"Gag his mouth." Li Qian shouted angrily.

Immediately, a soldier came up and stuffed Chu Dejun's mouth with a rag.He still has the style of a prime minister, mighty and unyielding, kneeling straight.

Chu Sien and Chu Sihui knelt in the second row.

At this time, all the faces are pale.

"Prince Su saved Sijiu." Chu Si'en didn't see Chu Sijiu, he was filled with grief and joy, but his heart was extremely bitter.

Chu Sihui's eyelids were already swollen from crying, "Eldest sister, you and I are not married to anyone, only the second sister is married to the right person."

"Even if Sijiu is alive, life will be very hard, why not go home with the whole family." Chu Si'en's tears fell down.

"I'm not afraid of death. I'm just sad for the husband I married. On the surface, he is deeply affectionate. At the critical moment, he is not as good as Lord Su, who quarrels with his second sister every day. I am not reconciled." Chu Sihui has an arrogant temper, and in Yi Wang's mansion, he said what he said. Dongfang Yu treated her very well.

This time, however, he was personally sent to the sky prison. She was heartbroken and cried day and night.

"They must have their own reasons." Chu Si'en was still defending the second prince.

She really likes Wang Rui Dongfang Ming, and every time she sees his warm eyes, her heart blossoms.

Today she went to the disaster together with her family, but she didn't resent him at all. She had already lost her ability to reproduce, and it was useless for a princess who couldn't give birth to a child.

It's better to go like this.

Chu Sihui was not pregnant either, and at the critical moment, she had an epiphany, "Eldest sister, we were all killed. The royal family must have tampered with it. It doesn't make sense that none of our three sisters have children. And the aunt in the palace, she couldn't either." Babies are born. We're all counted."

Is that so?
Chu Si'en was startled. Three years ago, she married into Prince Rui's Mansion and became pregnant within three months. However, she fell down the steps and had an accidental miscarriage when she was six months old. Since then, it has been difficult to give birth.

At that time, Dongfang Ming was standing behind her.

She vaguely remembered someone pushing her from behind.I didn't dare to think about it before, but now that I think about it, it is very likely that Dongfang Ming made a cruel move.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were dark for a while.

"No." She screamed miserably.

At the same time, Han Xiangting on the stage pulled out a feather and threw it off the high stage, "Execution."

His expression was cold and his voice was cold.

The executioner swung the big knife high, spewing strong wine from his mouth, and the sharp knife surface reflected the sunlight, shaking out streaks of white light.

Blood flew everywhere, and a figure fell down slumped.

Sorrows whimpered and gathered into a buzzing sound.

……

This execution may be too cruel, and not many people came to see it.

The onlookers were commenting at first, and were extremely excited, but gradually they showed a hint of resentment.The entire Chu family, including women, children, and babies, were all beheaded.

The blood flowed into a stream, slowly flowing into the moat, and the bloody smell lingered for a long time.

According to the records of later generations, the punishment of exterminating the family of the Chu family lasted for three full hours (6 hours).

The Chu family was full of families, except for the second daughter Chu Sijiu, a total of 320 eight people were slaughtered.The scene was so tragic that it was enough to shake the world and weep ghosts and gods.

*
In the distance to the south of the execution ground, there is a row of houses. On the roof, a man in a light ice blue robe sat early.

He doesn't look very old, maybe in his early 20s.He has a very good appearance, with clear features, clear cheeks, big and bright eyes, and the corners of the eyes are slightly raised.Her long black hair was simply tied behind her back and fastened with an expensive black jade button.

He seemed to have practiced some kind of miraculous skill. The scorching sun shone on his body like mud into the water, and there was not a single drop of sweat on his forehead.

At the beginning of the execution, a man in black jumped onto the opposite roof. He was well-dressed and had an elegant demeanor, as if he was from a wealthy family.

He is also good-looking, with delicate features, high nose and thin lips.At this time, his two long black eyebrows were tightly knit, his eyes were both sad and enthusiastic, and his fingers clenched into fists involuntarily.

The light ice blue man glanced at him indifferently, his mind wandered a few times, but he didn't want to think too much.Eyes moved to that tragic scene again
The man in black only watched for a quarter of an hour before leaving quietly.

When jumping off the roof, he accidentally stepped on a tile.

The light ice blue man's hearing is excellent, and this slight "click" made his eyes fall on the broken tile.

He frowned imperceptibly, this man's kung fu is not bad, he should be extremely sad or angry to make such a low-level mistake.

It seems that there are still some people who sympathize with the Chu family.

Finally, after the execution was over, the main square was filled with headless corpses.Someone ordered the soldiers to leave a space in the middle, arrange the corpses in order, and then pour tung oil on them.

After a while, the flames burst into the sky.

……

At some point, the light ice blue man stood up, his back was straight, his figure was handsome, and the sleeves of his robe were rattling by the wind.

It was almost dusk at this time, and the sun had already tilted.

The fire burned for nearly an hour and gradually subsided.

In the sky, thick clouds gathered quickly, and without accident, there would be a heavy rainstorm immediately.

The light ice blue man's black eyes flickered slightly, he suddenly shifted, and disappeared instantly.

Bean-sized raindrops fell sparsely... After a while, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the strong wind swept over with torrential rain.

Yecheng ushered in the first heavy rain this summer.

　The principle of Liuliu is not to abuse the male second.
