Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Sapphire's conditions were not too much.

Because according to the regulations of Ming Dynasty, the standard for the decapitation of death row prisoners is one tael of silver, which is enough to put on a small table.

Therefore, Sapphire only needs a plate of boiled shrimp in salt water, which can save the court a lot of money.

Jiang Yu quickly ordered people to prepare prawns, and at the same time prepared a decapitated meal for others.

There are a lot of people to be killed this time. There are hundreds of people with names and surnames, and there are even more people who have no names. Zhang Wang, Lan Zhang, etc., all counted to reach 200 many people.

However, this is still the result of Lao Zhu hastily closing the case and not giving Jiang Yu too much time to get involved.

If it were the Sapphire case from another time and space, the number of people would have to be multiplied tenfold before turning the corner.

After Jiang Yu asked Lan Yu, he went straight out of the cell. As for other people's decapitation meals, he was not in charge of it. They ate whatever they liked, and their own cell bosses served them.

In the morning of the next day, the head of the cell gave everyone in each cell a decapitated meal.

Many people just cried when they saw the decapitation meal, without the slightest appetite.

Relatively speaking, the generals of Sapphire's party are quite free and easy, everyone eats meat and drinks heavily.

Lan Yu finished eating a plate of hand-peeled prawns, drank a jug of wine, and lay down on the haystack to doze off, waiting for the guards from Jin Yiwei to drag him to the execution ground.

Around six o'clock, hundreds of Jinyi guards walked into the prison. They opened the cell one by one to check their identity, and put a sign on the back of each person's neck.

Sapphire also received the same treatment, but Xiaobing's actions were relatively gentle, and he didn't beat or scold him.

Sapphire followed the crowd out of the cell, and was suddenly blinded by the strong light outside, but he still squinted greedily at the sun above his head, feeling the last warmth.

"ended!"

After Lan Yu finished speaking, she resolutely stepped into the prison car, and was surrounded by a group of Jinyi guards and went outside the Meridian Gate.

People in the capital heard that more than 1000 people were going to be killed today, so they had already come to watch the excitement, and the square outside the Meridian Gate was completely blocked.

Lan Yu stood in the prison car and looked at the people on both sides, thinking in her heart that when she returned after a great fishing victory, it was also such an unprecedented scene.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, before his execution, it was the same scene again.

Sapphire glanced at the crowd and found that there were not many acquaintances, so she began to look straight ahead.

The road ahead was wide, and everyone backed away desperately, as if they were afraid of being hit by the bad luck of the prison car.

Looking at the spacious road, Lan Yu suddenly had a question in her heart, why did she walk such a narrow road and ended up on the dead end road?

Arrogant?

arrogant?

greedy?

I am indeed quite arrogant, especially after the battle of Yuerhai, even Fu Youde and Feng Sheng were ignored.

Fortunately, Fu Youde is a good old man and never cares about himself.Although Feng Sheng has a grumpy temper, he also has a carefree temper, and he didn't take too much aim at himself.

As for greed...

Which general is not greedy?
If a general is neither greedy for money nor lustful, and distributes all rewards to his subordinates, wouldn't Zhu Tuhu be even more sleepless?

After thinking about it, Lan Yu felt that her only fault was arrogance.But he has such a bad temper, if he is polite, then what the hell is he Sapphire?

Ugh!
If there is an afterlife, what a shame!
Being human is hard!

When Sapphire looked at the crowd around him, the crowd around him also looked at him.

"Hey, isn't this General Lan?"

"Some time ago, the imperial court held a triumphant celebration for General Lan. Why did he commit a crime so quickly?"

"It is said to be treason!"

"rebellion?"

"impossible?"

"General Lan is the uncle of the emperor's grandson, why does he want to rebel..."

Several people talked about this, and suddenly someone asked.

"Do you still want to throw away the rotten eggs you prepared in advance?"

Several people looked at the troublemaker in unison, then shook their heads.

"Save it, what if General Lan turns into a ghost and finds you..."

When the troublemaker heard this, he quickly threw the rotten egg into the gutter, and never mentioned it again.

Sapphire is like a pioneer, using her prestige to frighten all the onlookers, saving herself and the people behind from an unwarranted disaster.

Not long after, they were brought to the execution platform, and each of them was arranged to kneel on the platform one by one, waiting for the executioner to give orders.

However, what surprised Sapphire was that the position of executioner was vacant.

Just when he was having doubts, there was a sound of gongs to clear the way.

"The Emperor is here!"

"All officers, soldiers and civilians are waiting on their knees to welcome them!"

As soon as the common people heard that the emperor was coming, they knelt on the ground and waited to kowtow, and then followed the slogans of the others and shouted long live.

The emperor personally supervised the beheading, this is not a common thing!

When Lan Yu heard that Lao Zhu came to monitor and beheaded herself, she also felt quite honored, and turned her neck with difficulty to look over.

Lao Zhu is still hale and hearty, walking like a wind.When passing the execution platform, he deliberately glanced at Lan Yu who was kneeling on the platform, with a trace of coldness and disdain in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lan Yu rolled her eyes back, thinking that this is the time, this butcher Zhu is not willing to give herself a good face?
Lao Zhu sat on the executioner's seat, looking at the sundial beside him, and at the same time looking at the stick.

Once it was three quarters noon, he would throw the stick in the stick on the ground and announce the official execution!
However, there is a more important thing in between, and that is to verify the authenticity of everyone.

"let's start!"

"promise!"

Jin Yiwei got the order, and immediately dragged the prisoners past Lao Zhu one by one. Lao Zhu held a list prepared in advance, and every time he saw a familiar person, he crossed out a person's name on it.

This is the purpose of his personal supervision and beheading, to prevent others from cheating, and replace them with other death row prisoners!

Lan Yu also saw Lao Zhu's intentions, and felt even more disdainful of Lao Zhu.

It's fine that the old man doesn't trust himself, but doesn't he even trust the Jin Yiwei he formed?
Fortunately, he still trusts our nephew and grandson, which made us feel at ease when we left.

Otherwise, if I am really a ghost, I will not let this old butcher go!
Thinking of her nephew and grandson, Lan Yu sighed again.

What a wonderful child, why was he entrusted to be born in Lao Zhu's house, and became the grandson of Zhu Butcher...

After Lao Zhu verified all the key criminals, he sat down obediently and waited for the arrival of [-]:[-] noon.

On both sides of Lao Zhu were the vassal princes of Ming Dynasty, and they were also arrested by Lao Zhu to watch the ceremony.Behind the vassal kings are the officials of the imperial court and the honorable generals who were not implicated.

If Sapphire's party is said to be a "chicken", then they are naturally the "monkey" in "killing chickens to make an example of monkeys".

Lao Zhu paid great attention to on-the-spot education. Every time he killed corrupt officials and rebellious officials, he would attract a large group of officials to watch and let them take warning.

At this time, the civil servants looked at the tragic situation of Lan Yu's party, not only stopped clamoring for impeachment, but felt sympathy for each other.

It was the Sapphire Party who was killed today, so it might be his turn tomorrow.

After all, the case of Hu Weiyong has been implicated in the case of Hu Weiyong for more than ten years, and it is still heard from time to time that someone was involved in the case of Hu Dang and was killed.

What about the Blue Party case?
Will it be involved for more than ten years?
Everyone looked at Lao Zhu's back, seeing Lao Zhu's white hair, and felt a little relieved.

Judging by His Majesty's age, it shouldn't be more than ten years...

When Lao Zhu was squinting his eyes and resting his mind, he suddenly saw a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi running over erratically, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"what!"

"The Ni Sun is back?"

"Hurry up, order someone to stop us, and don't let him enter the city!"

"promise!"

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi ran away joltingly, and the hearts of the vassal kings sitting beside Lao Zhu and the officials behind him became alive.

There is only one rebellious grandson in His Majesty's mouth, and that is the grandson of the current emperor.

In other words, the only person His Majesty the Ming Emperor is afraid of is probably the grandson of the emperor.

Because the grandson of the emperor really dared to hate the old emperor, and he really dared to ignore the words of the old emperor!
However, the old emperor was still reluctant to punish him heavily, which further encouraged the arrogance of the emperor's grandson.

Zhu Fan and Lan Yu had a good personal relationship, and couldn't bear to see Lan Yu die unjustly.Therefore, when he heard the news of his eldest nephew's return, he immediately couldn't sit still.

"Father, my son wants to congratulate..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt impatient for a while.However, just when he was sure, he suddenly thought of something, and then said viciously to his son.

"Then pull it in your pants!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Zhu Bian was completely dumbfounded, and thought to himself, did he pretend so badly, and was discovered by his father just as soon as he opened his mouth?

Zhu Chen, who was sitting next to Zhu Fang, saw the third brother's deflated appearance, and laughed heartlessly.

However, when Lao Zhu heard his laughter, he turned around and gave him a vicious look.

Seeing the old man's threatening eyes, Zhu Xi hurriedly lowered his head, but his shoulders twitched, obviously it was hard to hold back his laughter.

When Zhu Di heard the news of Zhu Yunxi's return, his brows were furrowed on the spot.

He is the person who least expects his eldest nephew to return.

If he could choose, he hoped that his eldest nephew would never come back!

Although Lan Yu couldn't hear what Lao Zhu said, but seeing Lao Zhu's face changed drastically, she vaguely guessed what it was.

Is our nephew back?
Thinking of this, Lan Yu instinctively had a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope for life.

However, reason soon prevailed and he realized that this was not good for his nephew.

If the nephew did not stop His Majesty the Emperor, his reputation would definitely be damaged.

If the nephew stops His Majesty the Emperor, then Zhu Tuhu must have his share.

Either of these two possibilities is very unfavorable to the nephew.

Thinking of this, Lan Yu looked provocatively at the prison platform, and shouted in Lao Zhu's direction.

"Zhu Tuhu, kill me quickly, I've had enough!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately became angry, took the life and death lottery and was about to throw it on the ground.

However, at this moment, he saw the decisive look in Sapphire's eyes, and his heart was suddenly stunned.

This old guy must have guessed that our grandson would come back, and he was afraid that our grandson would be difficult to do, so he intentionally provoked us!

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu gave Lan Yu a thumbs up.

Lan Yu saw Lao Zhu's outstretched thumb, and showed a childlike innocent smile on his face.

He has been living under Lao Zhu's shadow all his life, and has always longed for Lao Zhu's affirmation.

It's just that he never expected that the stingy butcher Zhu gave him a thumbs up until he was dying.

"Superior!"

"Sapphire is going..."

After Lan Yu shouted this sentence, she stretched out her neck and lay down on the stone pier in front of her, assuming a posture of stretching her neck to kill.

Seeing this scene, Lao Zhu's eyes suddenly became moist.

Lan Yu was younger than him and Chang Yuchun, about ten years younger, and they had always treated him like a younger brother in the early years.

When Lao Zhu thought of the scene where Lan Yu used to be like a follower, pestering himself and his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun, he felt unspeakable reluctance in his heart.

Sapphire was also a good boy...

It's just why he is always dissatisfied and always wants to challenge our authority?
We can't leave a disaster for our grandson!

We can't!
Lao Zhu closed his eyes in pain, and as he closed his eyes, a life and death lottery painted with red paint slipped off.

"Your Majesty has a purpose!"

"cut!"

Hearing this, the executioner picked up the wine bowl, took a big sip of the wine, and then sprayed it on the body of the tiger head knife.

"Master Lan!"

"I'm offended by bidding. When you get there, make a bid to enshrine that year's festival. I won't make you short-sighted!"

Sapphire smiled when she heard this.

"Just give us a good time, and the New Year's filial piety is left over to buy two catties of meat for the children in the family!"

"promise!"

The executioner held the handle of the knife, and after breathing evenly, he yelled "Ah", and chopped it down heavily with the tiger's head knife.

However, when it was cut in half, a loud "bang" was heard from the south, followed by a tremor on the ground, which shook him and the death row prisoner off the platform.

The people who watched the excitement on both sides were even more frightened and ran away.

The vassal king and officials were also having a hard time, their faces turned blood red from the huge sound waves and the tremors on the ground, and the timid ones even left the team and ran wildly towards the open space.

Lao Zhu was also shaken by the aftermath of the earthquake. Holding the shaking table, he looked towards the south with a face full of disbelief.

After standing still, Zhu Bing hurriedly ran to the side of the father, and vigorously supported the father.

"Father, are you alright?"

Lao Zhu straightened his crown and roared angrily.

"what happened!"

"But Dilong turned around?"

"I do not know……"

While the two were talking, a few soldiers ran towards the city gate, shouting as they ran.

"The grandson of the emperor is attacking the city!"

"The grandson of the emperor is calling in!"

"What?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he sat down on the chair, stared at his big round eyes, and his face was full of puzzlement.

Zhu Fen secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he was terrified, he thought that his elder nephew was really mighty, he even dared to blast the gates of the capital, he was much more courageous than his uncle.

When the other princes and civil and military officials heard this, their faces were full of disbelief.

This is the capital!

Was the capital captured by someone, or was it broken by the grandson of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?

When everyone was terrified, Zhu Yunxi rode a fast horse and rushed over with hundreds of guards behind him.

Zhu Yunxi was secretly relieved when he saw that although the court was chaotic, but no one was beheaded.

Ok!

I finally got back in time!

Zhu Yunxi dismounted himself and walked to the execution ground, and helped Lan Yu up from the ground.

"My uncle is suffering!"

Lan Yu couldn't hold back anymore when she heard this, she leaned her face on the shoulder of her nephew and cried loudly.

"The minister was wronged...the minister really didn't want to plot rebellion, woo woo woo..."

"I trust you alone!"

However, when Zhu Yunxi was going to intercede for him, Lan Yu stopped Zhu Yunxi again.

"Yunxi, don't waste your time, your grandpa killed me, not because of this..."

"Go away, just pretend you haven't come back..."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Lan Yu's disheveled hair and old face, nodded emphatically.

"I don't know!"

"I don't know why Grandpa Huang wants to kill you!"

"you know?"

Lan Yu has always regarded Zhu Yunxi as a child, and now he suddenly heard Zhu Yunxi say this, one can imagine the shock in his heart.

When he looked at Zhu Yunxi again, he found that Zhu Yunxi had not only grown a lot taller, but even the immaturity on his face had unknowingly faded away, and he became a little resolute and calm.

Only then did he realize that the child he had always wanted to protect had grown up unknowingly!

Moreover, it can shelter him from the wind and rain!

Zhu Yunxi dropped Sapphire and knelt down on one knee in front of Lao Zhu.

"Grandfather, grandson is here to plead guilty to you!"

Lao Zhu looked at his long-lost grandson and asked with a gloomy face.

"What crime are you asking for?"

"In desperation, my grandson ordered a cannon to open the city gate..."

"Do you know what crime this is?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he smiled at Old Zhu.

"But it's up to Grandpa Huang!"

"As long as you are willing, hehehe..."

Even though Lao Zhu was full of anger, when he heard Da Sun say this, he could only turn into an endless wry smile.

"You rebellious grandson!"

"You really want to piss us off!"

"You dare to use cannons in an important place in Gyeonggi, and even personally ordered people to blast open the city gate. You won't be relieved if we kill you!"

Lao Zhu complained to Dasun, and then found a step for Dasun.

"Get up!"

"Let's see that the south gate is quite dilapidated, so it should be demolished and rebuilt!"

As soon as Lao Zhu said this, the vassal kings and ministers standing beside him were collectively dumbfounded.

The grandson of the emperor blew up the city gate, and the old emperor actually said that the city gate was dilapidated, so it happened to be demolished and rebuilt?
If they remember correctly, the Nancheng Gate was just renovated two years ago, right?

Seeing the old man's blatant partiality, all the vassal kings rolled their eyes angrily.Even the civil and military officials who were watching the excitement dropped their jaws in shock when they saw the old emperor pampering the emperor's grandson so much.

Although it is impossible for the old emperor to kill the grandson of the emperor, at least you can beat him up, or put him in a prison for a few days, and perform for the people all over the world.

The behavior of the old emperor who didn't even bother to "act" deeply hurt those officials who took the law of the Ming Dynasty as their yardstick.

However, what surprised them even more was that after the old emperor said this, the emperor's grandson did not stand up from the ground, but knelt down with one leg.

"Grandfather, grandson has a merciless request!"

This time, Lao Zhu interrupted Dasun with a cold face before he finished speaking.

"you shut up!"

"We don't have to pursue the matter of you blasting open the city gate. This is already the greatest tolerance for you. If you dare to make further progress, we will put you in prison!"

Zhu Yunxi was not afraid of Lao Zhu's threat at all.

"Grandfather, even if you beat me to death, I will say it!"

"Grandfather, please take back your life and spare the lives of Lan Yu and others!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words came out, needles could be heard on the entire execution ground, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the old emperor's decision.

Lao Zhu's chest heaved violently, and his eyes looking at Zhu Yunxi seemed to be able to spew fire.

"Rebellious grandson!"

"Do you know who we are doing this for!"

"Know!"

"You know and still come to stop?"

"It's because I know that, that's why I don't want to let Grandpa Huang do something wrong!"

"Are we wrong?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he seemed to have heard a big joke. He sneered a few times, and immediately waved to a Jin Yiwei, and then whispered a few words to him.

Not long after, Jin Yiwei ran over bumpily and handed Lao Zhu a bunch of thorns and thorns.

Lao Zhu looked at the thorny thorns all over his body, smiled coldly at Zhu Yunxi, and then threw the thorns heavily in front of him.

Zhu Yunxi was puzzled looking at the thorns on the ground, but the surrounding officials and vassal kings were stunned.

Because the old emperor had educated the prince in this way, but the prince dared not pick up the thorns, and was reprimanded by the old emperor.

Afterwards, the old emperor scolded the prince while holding the wattle and removing the sharp thorns from it.

Zhu Yunxi didn't know this period of history, but he quickly guessed the emperor's grandpa's intentions.

It turned out that Grandpa Huang wanted to use this thing as a metaphor!

Lan Yu and the others are the thorns parasitic on Daming's thorn. If I want to intercede for them, I have to prove that I have the ability to remove the thorns.

Lao Zhu looked at the puzzled Dasun and said in a cold voice.

"Your royal father also faced the same choice back then!"

"Your father can't afford this thing, so let's pull out the thorns for him and hand over the thorns to him whole!"

"If you can't pick it up, don't blame us for being cruel!"

As soon as Lao Zhu's words fell, Zhu Yan closed his eyes in pain, and other ministers also showed unbearable expressions on their faces.

The old emperor was really too ruthless. The prince was an adult at any rate, and the grandson of the emperor is only a teenager now, and he is still a child.

How can that immature little hand withstand the ravages of thorns?
When Lan Yu saw Zhu Tuhu use this trick again, he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.This old cunt is too hurtful, how can he bully this kid Yunxi like this.

"Yunxi!"

"Don't listen to your grandpa, your uncle died unjustly, your uncle deserves to be beheaded!"

Dingyuan Hou Wangbi and others also secretly scolded Lao Zhu for being unjust, isn't this a sincere bully?

No matter how you say it, Zhu Yunxi is also a nobleman in heaven and earth. He has been clothed in rich clothes and rich food since he was a child, and he has never suffered a lot. How can he bear the pain of such thorns?

"Emperor grandson, Wang Bi heartily accepts your kindness!"

"Even if we, Wang Bi, are in the underworld, we should say hello to the crown prince when we see him, and let the crown prince bless you for a long time!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the sharp thorns on the ground, and then at his immature hands, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

"Grandfather!"

"Grandson doesn't need your help!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he reached out and picked up the twig from the ground.

Although he was careful enough, the spikes pierced his hand, bleeding him.

Zhu Yunxi endured the pain, gritted his teeth and held on to the thorns. He held the thorns tightly and pulled off the thorns one by one.

One, two, three...

"Look, grandpa, grandson can pull out thorns by himself!"

"It's not that the grandson doesn't dare to kill, it's just that he doesn't want to kill."

"But if someone threatens my grandson's throne, my grandson will never show mercy!"

"Grandfather, please trust your grandson!"

Lao Zhu looked at the blood-soaked wattle and yelled mournfully.

"Pass the imperial physician!"

After shouting this sentence, Lao Zhu stepped forward suddenly, kicked away the thorns in Dasun's hand, and then grabbed Dasun's bloody hand and cursed.

"Are you stupid!"

"If we tell you to catch it, you can catch it!"

Zhu Yunxi laughed when he heard the words.

"Grandpa Huang has an order, how dare grandson refuse to obey?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he raised his hand and slapped Ni Sun.

"We also told you to stay in the palace and study, when did you hear that!"
