Hearing this, Huo Qubing connected King Pengcheng's chin.
King Pengcheng was so painful that his clothes were wet with cold sweat, and it took him a while to recover.
He looked at the head of the Lu family who had revealed all the truth and wished he could swallow a mouthful of meat.
He could have died with these secrets, so that Xie Yuan and Qi Yan would not know the truth for the rest of their lives, and they would not be able to reverse Qi Jing's case for the rest of their lives——
This was his last resistance, but because of Xie Yuan's few words, the head of the Lu family broke his defense.
How could he not be angry? How could he not be angry?
When he heard Cui Heng's words, King Pengcheng sneered and continued to smash the jars——
"I won't tell you anything you ask!"
"Oh, then let's use torture." Cui Heng nodded and snapped his fingers.
Two strong servants walked in, grabbed King Pengcheng, stripped him of his clothes, took him outside and whipped him thirty times, and then tied him to a wooden stake covered with thorns, regardless of how painful King Pengcheng was.
Yelling, just exposing people to the sun.
The scorching sun in the north was strong in September, and the king of Pengcheng couldn't stand it after just one day in the sun. He yelled at Cui Heng and asked him everything.
Cui Heng then ordered people to untie him and asked with a smile: "That day you took away most of Cui's family property, where did you hide it?"
King Pengcheng said tremblingly: "Can you... give me a bowl of water?"
Smoke was coming out of his throat.
Cui Heng signaled, and the servant immediately poured a bowl of water and stood in front of King Pengcheng, with no intention of feeding him a drink.
King Pengcheng: "???"
"Cui Kasanlang, what do you mean?" He stared at the bowl of water longingly and made a gesture of swallowing.
"Your Majesty only said to give you a bowl of water, but not to drink it with you." Cui Heng shook his feather fan and said with a smile, "You might as well reply first, you won't die."
King Pengcheng: "..."
walk slowly!
"I used them all to recruit troops." After King Pengcheng finished speaking, he looked eagerly at the bowl of water.
Cui Heng sat on the table and lightly pressed the desk.
The servant understood and picked up the bowl of water to feed King Pengcheng.
But he only let him take a small sip and then took it away.
King Pengcheng: “??”
Do you eat fried pancakes?
"My younger sister Cui Xunzhi suffered from a serious illness when she was young and was unable to speak. It is said that before she fell ill, she saw the prince and the head of the Lu family talking at the Cui family's residence?" Cui Heng shook his feather fan and smiled.
Staring at King Pengcheng,
"Your Majesty, I think it's too much of a coincidence."
King Pengcheng was so frightened by what he saw that he hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain why.
"It seems that the prince didn't get enough exposure." Cui Heng smiled and winked at the servant.
The servant understood and immediately put down his bowl and walked towards King Pengcheng.
"She heard that I was talking to the head of the Lu family and was planning to secretly defeat the Cui family and seize the family property. I was afraid that Old Mrs. Cui would find out, so I pushed her into the river and poisoned the medicine she took!"
King Pengcheng saw that he was going to be pulled out to expose himself to the sun, so he spoke hastily.
Cui Heng was still smiling, but the feather fan in his hand had been held in two by his veiny hand.
He slowly put down the fan in his hand and said with some regret: "What a pity, the feather fan is a fine one."
Then he raised his head and looked at King Pengcheng again, with a very obvious sarcasm in his eyes——
"I have something to tell you. The person who killed the young prince was the head of the Lu family. He wanted you to have a grudge against Xie Yuan, so he framed the blame on him. You are so stupid that you didn't even know that the murderer was around.
"
This was what he said in passing when he was questioning the head of the Lu family just now.
Cui Heng's words fell like a muffled thunder on King Pengcheng's mind, causing him to buzz and become blank.
So he hates the wrong person?
So he still uses the head of the Lu family and his son?
When he was pulled away, King Pengcheng suddenly laughed loudly.
Cui Heng raised his eyebrows.
Tsk, another one is crazy.
…
The three rebellious princes will be beheaded.
The people of the three states who had been enslaved by them for a long time laughed so happily when they heard that the three rebellious princes were going to be beheaded.
At the same time, the Fan Yang Lu family, who has done many evil things, will also be wiped out.
The tenants and common people who had been suppressed by Fan Yanglu for many years breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Well done!
They clapped their hands and applauded!
On the day of the execution, the market entrance was crowded with people.
At around noon, the three kings were escorted to the execution platform, and then a young man dressed in sackcloth and born with a clear breeze and bright moonlight walked up with a big sword.
When people were discussing who this young man was, they heard the order from Governor Huo who was the executioner. The young man raised his knife and dropped it, and the heads of the three princes were moved.
Then it was the turn of the head of the Lu family.
After kicking away the bodies of several people, Qi Yan looked at the head of the Lu family coldly.
The head of the Lu family looked gray and lowered his head as if resigned to his fate.
When Governor Huo was about to order the execution, a young man suddenly broke out from the crowd and rushed directly to the execution platform. He tried to climb up but was stopped by the officers and soldiers.
"Please let my father go!" Lu Zhong looked at Qi Yan with red eyes, and then looked at Xie Yuan next to him, "Brother of the Qi family, Mr. Xie, please forgive my father and let him go!"
Everyone was in an uproar, this was the young man of the Lu family whom Mr. Xie worked so hard to save.
Tsk, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, this is definitely not a good seedling.
Hearing his son's voice, the head of the Lu family was shocked. He raised his head and looked at Lu Zhong.
Seeing the young man's red eyes from crying, and seeing the contemptuous and despised expressions of the people around him, the head of the Lu family felt regret for the first time in his heart.
If he had not chosen this path, his Shaohan would not be in the same situation as he is now.
"Lu Zhong, don't mess around on the execution ground. If you mess around again, you will be beaten to death twenty times!" Governor Huo frowned.
He couldn't like the children of the Lu family.
If Xie Yuan hadn't been protecting him, Lu Zhong would have been the boss.
"Excuse me?" On the execution platform, Qi Yan seemed to have heard a big joke. He laughed a few times and stared at Lu Zhong.
"I forgive him, but who will forgive the people in the city, who will forgive the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and who will forgive my father who is dedicated to serving the country?!"
The young man's questioning voice was like a sap hitting Lu Zhong in the back of the head.
He was stunned for a moment and remembered what Xie Yuan said to him yesterday.
The Lu family colluded with King Pengcheng to kill Qi Yan's father, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the entire city.
Yes, Qi Yan forgave his father, who would forgive these innocent people who died?
Thinking of this, the hope in Lu Zhong's eyes suddenly disappeared.
He slowly lowered his head and turned around to leave.
"Shaohan, I'm sorry for you—"
The hoarse voice coming from behind made the young man pause, and he immediately quickened his pace and pushed through the crowd to leave.
The head of the Lu family was beheaded, and the Fan Yang Lu family was annihilated.
From now on, there will be no more Fanyang Lu people in the Jin Dynasty.
…
Lu Zhong was sitting alone in the tavern, drinking heavily.
This was the first time for the young man to try such a powerful knife-burning method, and he soon became extremely drunk.
