It was the first day of June in the twenty-fourth year of Tai'an.
In the dark cell, Tian Jingtong was lying on the straw mat.
The official uniform that represented his once prominent status was still worn by him, but it looked particularly ironic at the moment.
With a creaking sound, the cell door was opened, and then it fell into silence again.
Several officers appeared on both sides of the cell door. Tian Jingtong looked in the direction of the cell door and saw only one official appearing here.
"Cheng Wenguang..." Tian Jingtong gritted his teeth.
The person standing at the door was Cheng Wenguang, and he said loudly: "Master Tian, you are going on the road today, and I want to get to know each other... I am here to see you off!"
After a long silence, Tian Jingtong said: "I want to ask you one thing..."
"As long as I can do it!" Cheng Wenguang said calmly.
"Give me a queen!" Tian Jingtong begged.
Cheng Wenguang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Forgive me for being powerless!"
He had previously established the Yitian Jingtong clan as the master in order to submit a petition to Zhao Yanxun.
If he goes to intercede for Tian Jingtong again, let alone whether he can succeed or not, Cheng Wenguang might even get involved by then.
"Could it be that... King Yong really wants to do something so extraordinary?" Tian Jingtong showed a look of resentment.
"Master Tian, His Highness wants to win the hearts of everyone in the city. The Yi clan can not only comfort the people, but also scare the powerful... So no one can save your family's fate!" Cheng Wenguang said calmly.
"Your Highness... you should change your tune quickly. Don't think that if you flatter someone named Zhao, you will end up well in the end!"
"When the prince ascends the throne, you will all be rebellious officials and traitors, and you will definitely be liquidated at that time!"
"You put the blame on me and ruined my family, but my today is your tomorrow!"
Since Cheng Wenguang was no longer reliable, Tian Jingtong simply let go and said everything in his heart.
He was going to die anyway, so he might as well say it happily, Tian Jingtong looked at him with a stern look.
Cheng Wenguang looked calm and said in a deep voice: "Master Tian, come here this time... His Highness asked me to ask you something!"
Tian Jingtong sat up from the straw mat and sneered: "No wonder, if that kid Zhao Yanxun hadn't asked you to come over, how could you be here!"
Not in the mood to argue with him, Cheng Wenguang asked directly: "His Highness, I want to ask you, who gave you the instructions to make things difficult for the royal family many times before?"
Tian Jingtong didn't say anything. He was already about to be killed by the Yi clan, so what's the use of talking about it.
"If you answer honestly, you can die a happy death!"
"If you offend His Highness, your family, including yours, will suffer again before execution!"
He had caused his family to suffer, and now the only thing Tian Jingtong could do was to let them die happily.
"That's what Mr. Wangge meant!" Tian Jingtong said in a deep voice.
Wang Ge Lao, a current college student and the chief minister of the cabinet.
"His Highness also asked, when he came to Yuanyang, were you the assassin you sent?" Cheng Wenguang asked again.
"No!" Tian Jingtong replied.
Seeing Cheng Wenguang's doubtful expression, Tian Jingtong couldn't help but smile and said, "At this point, what's the use of lying to me?"
After nodding, Cheng Wenguang turned and left, while Tian Jingtong also sat back on the straw mat.
After a while, the guards brought wine and food, which was the last meal before setting off on the road.
After experiencing extreme fear for several days, Tian Jingtong had gradually accepted his fate and was able to eat and drink after seeing the food and wine.
Between Xishengfang and Gaoshengfang in Xicheng, many people had gathered at this moment, and they all came to see the beheading.
People like to watch the excitement, and this will not change even in the end of the world.
But there were a lot of people around today, mainly because people in the city had nothing to do.
"There are more than thirty people to be killed today. It is said that they are the governor's family!"
"Bullshit governor, this bitch tricked us into leaving the city and almost killed my whole family. Fortunately, my mother-in-law stopped me!"
"Alas, my eldest uncle and my third uncle's family were deceived out of the city. I'm afraid they are in danger!"
"If you ask me, the whole Gouguan family should be killed, and those servants should also die... His Highness is still too soft-hearted!"
"Don't talk nonsense. If it weren't for the prince to uphold justice, this dog official would have no idea how to harm people!"
"That's right, the prince is our great benefactor. It is said that in two days... the prince's palace will distribute relief food in the city!"
"Oh, thanks to the prince, otherwise I don't know how I would have lived this day!"
"Let me tell you, yesterday I met the third son of the Jia family, and he said bad things about the prince, and I gave him a good beating!"
"Hahaha, it's time to fight... This little bastard is bullying and dominating the market. Now these powerful people have their hands and feet broken by the palace. If you dare to punish them again, you will be punished!"
"That's right, and this guy dares to scold the prince. If I bump into him... I will beat this bastard to death!"
The crowd was talking a lot and the scene was extremely noisy.
But when they heard the sound of a gong in the distance, everyone knew that something serious was about to happen, so they immediately made a way out of the way.
A large number of police officers rushed over and stood on both sides of the road to separate the crowd from the prison van.
Immediately afterwards, prison vans were pushed over one after another, with men, women, and children inside.
These people's mouths were gagged, so they couldn't make a sound at all, and the ropes they were tied with prevented them from struggling.
Soon the prison van was pulled to the center of the crowd, and the people inside were taken out one by one, and were held down and kneeled on the ground by the guards.
Immediately afterwards, several sedans came over, and after they stopped, several officials came out. The leader was none other than the Chief Envoy Cheng Wenguang.
But following him was Wang Zhengjun, the chief judge of the palace, Shi Si.
Cheng Wenguang is supervising the execution today, and Wang Zhengjun is here to supervise Cheng Wenguang.
After some pretentious remarks, Cheng Wenguang was sent to the main seat, Wang Zhengjun sat on the left, and the other officials sat further away.
"Everyone, Governor Tian Jingtong is fomenting conspiracy, harming the people, and insulting the royal family..."
"His Royal Highness King Yong brought order to the chaos and brought Tian Jingtong and his gang members to justice. Because of his heinous crimes... he was sentenced to beheading, the Yi tribe!"
After Cheng Wenguang finished speaking, he looked up at the sun in the sky, then picked up the command arrow and threw it directly in front of the big case.
"The time has come, kill!"
A total of five executioners, each holding a large knife, came behind the prisoner who was about to be executed.
There were more than thirty prisoners to be executed, and the five of them rotated around, each of them had to kill at least six.
Kneeling on the ground, Tian Jingtong did not look at the family members around him because he had no face to face them.
But while feeling guilty, what reappeared in his mind was not his past glory and glory, but the teachings of his teacher when he was studying in the clan.
"You are all talented people in the clan. If you are named on the gold list in the future, I do not ask you to be the prime minister. I only hope that you will be able to serve safely!"
"Fame and fortune are a weapon for killing people!" This was Tian Jingtong's last thought.
The ghost-headed sword fell, and Tian Jingtong's head flew high.
The people in the crowd cheered for a while, feeling grateful to Prince Yong's Mansion for upholding justice, and to Zhao Yanxun himself.
But the dignitaries who were hidden among the common people all had ugly faces. Zhao Yanxun was trying to scare the monkeys.
It was these powerful people who encouraged Tian Jingtong to let the people out of the city, so how could they not worry about it.
