"No matter what you do, you have to take your time. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." After Meng Lingjing finished speaking, she took the lead.
Forsythia and Chengchun also quickly followed.
"Do you two know what day today is?" Meng Lingjing said suddenly.
Chengchun and Forsythia looked at each other, and finally shook their heads.
Meng Lingjing raised her eyebrows: "Not far away is the vegetable market, and there is an execution ground there. After noon, it is the time for the prisoners to be executed. You probably all know the prisoners today."
Chengchun's eyes lit up: "Could it be Hu Sheng?"
"Yes, the things he committed were enough to make him die several times, but His Majesty is a benevolent king. There is no so-called death by a thousand cuts. He only sentenced the queen to be beheaded, which is considered kind." Meng Lingjing said as she moved forward.
Walk.
Cheng Chun didn't say anything, but quietly followed Meng Lingjing.
Meng Lingjing has not returned to the capital for many years, but many people still recognized her by the sword she wore.
There is no need to explain how difficult Meng Lingjing used to be. It can be seen by just looking at the wealthy people who walked around her.
"The general used to be famous for being powerful. When he was still in the boudoir, he couldn't hang out with the people in the capital. From childhood to college, he was all about the battlefield. He really didn't know anything about the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
None of them are interested. The general, at my wife's age, is considered to be an invincible opponent in the capital!" Forsythia explained with a smile.
Cheng Chun raised his head and glanced at Meng Lingjing's back, with a bit of envy in his eyes: "The general must be very powerful!"
"That's natural!" Lian Qiao smiled, "The general also started as an infantryman. All his achievements were achieved step by step by himself, and none of them depended on his family!"
"You can do it too!" Meng Lingjing turned back to look at the two of them, "The Women's Army does not look at origin or status, it only looks at your own abilities. If you have the ability, just climb up. I can guarantee that no one will dare to stop you.
you."
Chengchun looked at Meng Lingjing for a long time, then nodded very seriously: "Okay!"
Meng Lingjing raised her eyebrows slightly, and then took Cheng Chun and the others to a restaurant: "The second floor here has a very good view. You can clearly see the things on the execution ground. I don't like to be crowded in the crowd. After all, it only ends up being like that."
You won’t be able to see anything clearly, but if you spend a little money and some tea here, you can clearly see everything you want to see!”
Cheng Chun sat in front of Meng Lingjing, that is, by the window. Meng Lingjing was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid?"
Chengchun shook his head: "Not afraid!"
Meng Lingjing laughed, and then called the waiter: "A pot of tea and three special snacks!"
"Okay!"
Not long after, the waiter brought tea and snacks. Meng Lingjing took a look at it, and then looked out the window: "I heard that you found the disaster relief money at that time?"
Chengchun raised his head and nodded: "Yes!"
"Then you have also made a meritorious service!" Meng Lingjing smiled, then picked up the teacup, "Then you should still remember Li Shufei, right?"
"Of course I remember the prefect of Huizhou!" Cheng Chun said quickly.
Meng Lingjing smiled: "Then you will see clearly later!"
Chengchun was a little confused, but still nodded obediently.
It didn't take long for the prisoner to be escorted up. The position where Chengchun was sitting was particularly conspicuous, and what he saw was particularly clear.
Hu Sheng's case had a wide range of implications, so when the criminal was brought in, it was completely dark. Everyone was wearing hoods, and it was impossible to see who was who for a while.
As the law enforcement officer read the name, the hoods were taken off one by one. When Li Shufei was read, Cheng Chun paid attention deliberately. Li Shufei was kneeling there with his head lowered from beginning to end, and his body was limp.
Lying down, at first glance, I thought his legs were weak from fear.
But because Chengchun's position had a particularly good view, she could see Li Shufei's face emotionally, and she stood up suddenly in fright.
But Meng Lingjing waved to Chengchun very calmly: "Sit down, it's not a big deal!"
Cheng Chun's face was filled with shock. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Meng Lingjing's index finger already placed on her lips: "Shh!"
When the words came to his lips, Chengchun swallowed them hard.
"Don't be so surprised, he is your Majesty's, and your Majesty will not let him die!" Meng Lingjing raised her eyebrows slightly, "Look at the young man next to Hu Sheng, that is Prime Minister Hao's son, Hao Jiayu!"
Chengchun raised his eyes and looked at Meng Lingjing, a little puzzled.
"Don't you want revenge? Then you have to know all the background of the person opposite you. Only in this way can you be sure to calculate every move they are going to make! Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This is what I teach you.
The first class." Meng Lingjing looked at Cheng Chun and said with a smile, "Let Forsythia tell you the next thing!"
Forsythia was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Hao Jiayu is not Madam Hao's biological child, but the eldest son of a concubine, and the only concubine that Madam Hao did not kill! But now, this boy has embezzled money because of greed.
The money issued by the imperial court to reinforce the dam directly led to this disaster, so he was sentenced to death by the Queen of Autumn, and Prime Minister Hao was also implicated, demoted to the third rank, and fined three years' salary!"
"That's it?" Cheng Chun raised his eyebrows, his face full of dissatisfaction, "They have caused so much suffering to the people of Huizhou, and that's it?"
"This is just a move by Your Majesty!" Meng Lingjing said calmly, "Under the imperial power, all the people in the world are just chess pieces. Huizhou is your Majesty's first move to eliminate dissidents in the court!"
Cheng Chun felt a chill running down her spine. She thought of the people who died due to the disaster, of that well-behaved child, that hair tie, that huge iron pot, and those bloody memories. They were just the first move of the imperial power.
!
"Afraid?" Meng Lingjing looked at Cheng Chun's pale face, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked softly.
Chengchun didn't say a word, just held the cup tightly.
"If you feel scared now, don't follow me. In the army, we are the swords of the emperor. When the time comes, you will only see things that scare you more!" Meng Lingjing said, and then looked not far away.
"Look, execution is about to begin!"
Cheng Chun calmed down and looked up at the execution ground not far away.
The law enforcement officer looked at the sky, then threw the sign in his hand and shouted: "The time has come for execution!"
