Chapter 715: Clouds of War(1/2)

"It would definitely not work if it were someone else, but it's different for you."

Feng Yuan said: "Try to be as fast as possible."

"Thank you, Manager Feng."

Guan Ning knew that he must have thought that he wanted to show off to Deng Qiu, so he agreed.

In fact, he still had many doubts.

There were six people who came on stage first. These people had all held important positions, and there were also a few familiar faces. Being among the first to be beheaded actually shows their importance.

Because there were only a few people in the first batch, they were separated by a bit of distance. They saw Guan Ning coming, but no one made a sound.

They were all tortured terribly.

Death is a kind of relief for them.

The same is true for Deng Qiu.

He is even worse.

Guan Ning noticed that ten of his fingers were gone, and the arms exposed by his clothes were covered with fine scars, making it impossible to look straight at them.

He was kneeling and seemed to have no strength at all.

Once valued by Emperor Longjing, and with a background of undermining the party, he was at the height of his power!

Now, it has become like this.

It is difficult to overlap the two images. What Guan Ning is referring to is what he said in the letter he left...

"You're here."

Deng Qiu raised his head and looked at Guan Ning without any surprise.

His voice was extremely weak and could only be heard if he was very close.

"I knew you would come."

"You can't hold back your curiosity. You want to know the truth and falsehood."

Deng Qiu looked directly at Guan Ning.

"I can tell you clearly that it is true!"

"Is it worth it?"

Guan Ning squatted in front of him.

"You abandoned your entire family and suffered inhuman torture yourself..."

"value!"

Although his tone was weak, his firmness could be heard.

"You have proved your ability and proved that my vision is right."

Deng Qiu said: "And you have not won the opportunity to inherit the throne. You will have more room for growth."

These words made Guan Ning startled.

He suddenly remembered something.

A strong spirit is truly powerful.

Deng Qiu is such a person, he will sacrifice everything for his ideals and ambitions.

"I have investigated the cause of your father's accident, but I have not found any specific results. But one thing is certain, there is a deep inside story."

Deng Qiu said in a low voice: "Emperor Long Jing is very scary. He is not what he appears. You have to be careful. For details, you can go to Zuihua Tower to find Ye Wushuang, the oiran. She is a trustworthy person..."

"You can leave. Talking too much may easily make people suspicious. I don't know how many people are watching here."

Guan Ning stood up.

He looked deeply at Deng Qiu and said in a low voice: "I will find out the truth and go on as I want... I can only say that your sacrifice will not be in vain."

Then, he got up and left.

Deng Qiu's eyes gradually gained a look of satisfaction.

He didn't see the wrong person.

Then, his head hung down.

He is dead!

He died before execution.

Ordinary people would have been unable to withstand these tortures for a long time. He kept persisting, perhaps because he was waiting to see Guan Ning.

He saw it.

I also got the answer I wanted to know.

He lost his support.

"Dead?"

At this time, the executioner in charge of the execution took a breath.

"Deng Qiu is dead."

There was a sound.

Guan Ning was trembling physically and mentally, but did not stop and walked forward.

"Deng Qiu is dead?"

Feng Yuan looked at him.

"Yeah, it's so bad. I made you angry to death after just a few words."

Guan Ning said casually, making all the officials around him stunned.

You're feeling a little bit sad.

"He's not bad."

Feng Yuan said: "You have no idea how much torture he has endured. It is not easy for him to persist until now. Let me tell you something that I shouldn't say. In fact, people like Deng Qiu are respectable."

Guan Ning stepped forward.

"Manager Feng, don't say this nonsense."

"Then will you report me?"

"meeting."

Guan Ning looked calm.

"Ha ha."

Feng Yuan smiled and then went to the main seat and sat down.

The execution is about to begin.

But Deng Qiu's body had already been arranged to be carried down.

He is already dead. You can't chop off someone's head. This is not bad, as you can keep the whole body.

Groups of people chopped them down.

Guan Ning knew that all those Deng Qiu confessed were those who could, and most of them were people who undermined the party.

In this case, Wu Qingkun, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Xu Changying, the minister of the Ministry of War, were all implicated and demoted, as well as an unknown number of other officials, big and small.

It is said that several armies were investigated.

The impact is already being felt.

People in the court were panicked and extremely unsettled.

And the biggest beneficiary is Guan Ning.

He got the opportunity to inherit the throne, and also established a foothold in the capital city, gaining greater influence.

Deng Qiu is respectable.

Guan Ning only felt a feeling of nausea and vomiting.

He wanted to go to Zuihua Tower immediately to find the oiran Ye Wushuang.

He wants to know the inside story of this.

Zuihualou.

It is the top brothel Liyuan in Beijing.

Not because of its size, but because of the famous courtesan Ye Wushuang here.

As his name suggests, he is extremely beautiful.

She is good at poetry and music, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
