As time went by, Xie Xiuming became more and more angry. He clenched his fists and raised them high, unable to restrain the urge to rush forward and hit someone.
Xie Xiuqi's starry eyes narrowed slightly, motionless as a mountain.
At this moment, a carriage drove out from the palace gate, and the old prime minister poked his head out of the carriage.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Your Highness the Third Prince, this old man is so polite."
Xie Xiuming lowered his fist instantly, snorted coldly, and turned around to leave.
The old prime minister smiled back at Xie Xiu.
Xie Xiuqi looked cold and ignored him, got in the car and left.
After being disappointed, the old prime minister, instead of being depressed, burst into laughter.
In the carriage, the Minister of Civil Affairs was puzzled: "Dad, are you mad?"
The old prime minister stroked his gray beard: "The third prince is complaining about my inaction. Let's go. If you want to board the big ship, you have to pay money to buy a ticket. We have to start taking action."
I don't know when it started, but the news that Jinse was going to be executed at the Meridian Gate tomorrow quickly spread throughout the capital.
As early as a few days ago, when Jinse was arrested, the people in the capital were worried. Now that the verdict has been handed down, they are even more angry.
For so many days, the emperor did not explain a word about the details of Jinse's assassination of the prince. He simply said that the emperor and the second prince witnessed it with their own eyes. He even said that Jinse killed all the maids and guards in the imperial study.
But with so many people dead, why were the two of them safe?
Rumors had long been circulating secretly that it was the second prince who killed the prince. In order to cover up the scandal of the prince's brother-killing, the emperor asked Jinse to take the blame.
Now that the emperor has not interrogated or shown Jinse's confession, this rumor has almost been confirmed.
For a time, both the palaces, temples and streets were in an extremely depressing atmosphere.
…
"Give!"
A bowl of roast chicken was thrown to the ground by the jailer. Several bones fell out of it and rolled around on the ground, covered in mud.
The jailer's tone was bad.
"Eat, eat well and go on the road, and be a starved ghost on the way to reincarnation."
Jinse sat cross-legged, motionless.
"Bah!" the jailer spat, cursing and urging, "You are almost dead, why are you acting like a general? You deserve to die! If you don't want to eat, then come with me."
Jinse narrowed his eyes and stood up to leave: "System, there are still three days until the barbarian uprising in the previous life, right?"
The system said anxiously: "Yes, in the previous life, Nangong Jin relied on this riot to regain control of the military and speed up Xie Xiuming's ascension to the throne."
Three days…
Jinse patted the dust on his body gracefully, and the shackles on his hands and feet made a clanging sound.
She was surprised that she was able to stay in jail unharmed for five days this time.
Her eyes twinkled.
It seems that her husband is not a simple man. No wonder after being assassinated by Xie Xiuming in his previous life, he was able to come back and sit on the throne in a short time.
Next, it’s up to her.
…
Standing on the prison car, rushing all the way to the execution ground.
As soon as they saw Jinse and the people gathered on both sides of the road, tears fell unconsciously.
Jinse was wearing a large black dress with wide sleeves, and the days in prison made her look smug.
The sleeves of the robe were blown by the strong wind, making the body wrapped in the clothes even more slender.
At this time, people suddenly realized that the victorious general who had protected them for so many years and fought at the border for many years was just a thin woman.
General Nangong has protected them for eight years with his thin body. Today, why can't they stand up and protect their General Nangong?
Everyone looked at each other and made up their minds to follow the prison car all the way to the execution ground.
There were a few people who looked hesitant at first, but when they saw the situation on the execution ground, they suddenly became angry.
On the execution ground, I saw the Nangong family, dozens of people, standing neatly on the execution ground.
Regardless of whether they are men, women, or children, they all have strong faces and are not afraid of death.
Jinse also sneered.
The Dog Emperor is really good. It's not enough to kill her, he also has to kill the Nangong family.
Harm the loyal and good, and bring about your own destruction.
The sun was shining brightly, and Jinse squinted her eyes to look at the tall buildings not far away, with something deep in her eyes.
In a private room somewhere on a high building, Xie Xiuqi and Jin Se looked at each other from afar, their expressions gloomy.
There has been no news from Xiao Hei for so many days. It seems like he should have gone with someone else.
The emperor was on guard, the original methods could not be used, and the only solution for now was to take risks.
Even if he gives up everything he has now, he still wants Jinse to survive.
He ordered: "Get ready, we will start soon."
At the same time, further away, Xie Xiuming led thousands of imperial guards to ambush at various entrances and exits of the execution ground, as well as on the only way out of the city.
There was a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his mouth: "Xie Xiuqi, Nangong Jin, I will catch you all this time and there will be no more troubles."
…
"It's noon, execution!"
The executioner held a machete in his hand and shouted: "Kneel down!"
No one in the Nangong family knelt. Even the third uncle Nangong, who had lost his legs, used his incomplete legs and only the thighs to support his body, without bending his back at all.
The executioner became angry when he saw this: "If you break their legs, I don't believe it. They won't kneel!"
The people were in an uproar, and one man stood up.
"Wait a minute, you can't do this!"
The executioner glanced at him and said: "Those who cause trouble will be punished with the same crime as the Nangong family."
Seeing that the man stopped talking, the executioner sneered. He knew that these fools were all heartless.
Even if he bullies them openly, no one will stand up to resist.
How can ordinary people compete with a court official like him?
But just when he wanted to turn around, another citizen stood up, then the third, the tenth, and countless others!
Dressed in different styles, they worked together to pass through the blockade of the Imperial Guards, squeezed into the execution ground, and surrounded everyone in the Nangong family.
A group of unarmed people used their flesh and blood to build a wall of flesh, confronting the well-equipped Imperial Guards outside with spears.
Some people lamented: "General Nangong Jin guarded the border for eight years, General Nangong An served as a soldier for the Jing Kingdom all his life, and the Nangong family has been loyal to the Jing Kingdom for generations. I want to ask, who in the Jing Kingdom has not been protected by the Nangong family?"
"You are harming Zhongliang!"
The imperial guards looked at each other and Nangong An, feeling equally uneasy.
Some of them even worked under Nangong An or Nangong Jin.
The scene fell into a stalemate for a while.
The executioner was trembling with anger: "They have rebelled against heaven and disobeyed the order. I order you to kill them all!"
None of the imperial guards moved, and even the executioner put down his machete.
"Okay!" The executioner grabbed the machete, "If you don't move, I will! I want to see if the Holy Spirit will punish you for resisting the decree!"
There was a commotion among the Praetorian Guards and they approached the high platform of the execution place.
Jinse clenched her fists, squinted her eyes and waited quietly for the executioner to approach.
Xie Xiuqi stared at the movements of the execution ground, his raised hand ready to fall at any time to inform his men to take action.
Xie Xiuming looked excited and licked his lips with his scarlet tongue. He stared closely at Jinse's movements, ready to lead the imperial guards to rush forward to control the situation at any time.
The scene is about to break out.
At this moment, the clatter of horse hooves sounded, and the sound of a man wearing blood-stained armor, holding a white flag, and riding a white flag came from the city gate.
"Report! The border pass was lost, and the barbarians defeated three cities in two days!"
