Chapter 772 Death Penalty

Chapter 772 Death Penalty
While joking, the emperor's face softened a lot.

The little servant who knocked on the door bowed his head, stepped hurriedly to the desk, and knelt down to report, "Your Majesty, just now there was news from the Ministry of Punishment that it was just now that Zhenning Hou... ah, no, yes... yes The former Zhenninghou led his men in an attempt to rob the prison, but they were bumped into by Mr. Tao who happened to be interrogating the prisoner in the cell."

The emperor's brows had just relaxed, but at this reply, his face suddenly became as dark as water, and he slapped his palm on the desk, "What did you say!"

A low roar burst out from his throat, his eyes were blazing, and he looked straight at the little chamberlain.

The young waiter's shoulders trembled in fear and he bowed even lower.

"Fortunately, Mr. Tao found out in time and had the situation under control, but Zhenning..." Pursing his dry lips, the young waiter couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He added: "It's just that the former Zhenning Marquis has been clamoring to see His Majesty. Mr. Tao takes his identity into consideration and dare not make any independent decisions. He also dares not leave the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He is deeply afraid that if he leaves, no one in the prison will be able to restrain him. The former Marquis of Zhenning asked him to kidnap He Zhinian, so he only sent an official from the Ministry of Punishment to convey a message and seek His Majesty's will."

After finally finishing what he wanted to say, the little chamberlain paused and was surprised to realize that cold sweat was running down his back. Emperor Long Yan was furious. The atmosphere in the entire imperial study room was so solid that it was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe at all. Get angry.

jailbreak...

These two words echoed in the emperor's ears, causing the blood to flow all over his body.

Lord Zhenning...you are really brave...you dared to lead people to openly break into the prison of the Ministry of Punishments and rob the people I personally detained before dark...This clearly means that you don't take me seriously...

Very good... very good... Zhenninghou...

Waves of light rolled in his eyes, showing the anger raging in his heart. There was only a crisp sound of "pop", and a string of green rosary beads that the emperor had originally held in his hand was thrown heavily on the desk.

The gloomy eyes narrowed slightly and then opened suddenly, and sinister light burst out from the bottom of the eyes, like two icicles, straight towards the little chamberlain who was kneeling on the ground.

Although he knew clearly that it was the Marquis Zhenning who committed the crime, and it was the Marquis Zhenning who was unlucky. He was just a messenger in the imperial study, but when he felt the glare of the ice-like eyes, the little chamberlain couldn't help but beat him all over. It trembles and looks like chaff.

Just as his upper and lower teeth collided violently, the sound of the emperor's gnashing of teeth came from above his head.

"According to my decree, the Marquis of Zhenning and He Zhinian will be executed immediately on the spot, and all the rest of the people in the Marquis of Zhenning's mansion will be exiled, regardless of men, women, old or young, all of them!"

Extremely angry, the emperor's repeated emphasis was filled with pain and deep hatred.

After receiving the order, the little chamberlain immediately let out a secret sigh, stood up and left with his weak legs.

After this incident, the emperor was no longer in the mood to have dinner at Concubine Hui's place, let alone others in the palace courtyard. In addition, there was heavy snowfall outside. He looked at the dark and slightly red sky outside and remained silent for a long time, which was so long that the emperor stood still. The legs of the chamberlain behind him were numb, and the emperor let out a faint breath.

"What Han Chaoen said is true. I am still in power. How dare they, who have had military exploits, be so presumptuous and not take me seriously at all. He is really capable of robbing the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Do you think I am dead? Wait until Yu If my son ascends the throne, they may not be able to do anything more heinous!"

Hearing the words "Waiting for Yu'er to ascend the throne", the chamberlain felt a pounding in his chest.

When the Third Highness was still here, even if the Emperor talked about the future heir, he would never mention his name alone. But since the Third Highness left, the Emperor has repeatedly mentioned how the Fourth Highness will ascend the throne...

It seems that the new owner of this country has been decided... His move was really the right one.

With a sigh in his heart, the chief chamberlain thought carefully and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has his own destiny."

The emperor sighed heavily, "My son is naturally a lucky person, and naturally has heavenly destiny!"

When the chamberlain heard this, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Yan, Xiao Duo and Xiao Yi, who were also princes. Their status was the same as that of the Fourth Highness, they were all princes. How come they, these lucky people, had lost their heavenly appearance!Especially Xiao Yan...

The death of the eldest prince Xiao Yan is an injustice!

As an outsider, he could see everything clearly, and he couldn't help but feel sour and uncomfortable in his heart. Over the years, the emperor, who had only realized it later, still didn't know how to break his heart!
After all, that was the prince who was most dear to the emperor's heart.

No wonder, for so many years, His Majesty often whispers to Yan'er softly when he wakes up from his dreams in the middle of the night...

An inexplicable surge of thoughts passed through my heart gently, like a gust of wind in winter. Although it was cold, it passed very quickly.

His mind turned around, but suddenly, the emperor's voice came to mind again.

"However, even if he is a lucky man and the sky turns evil into good fortune, I can't tolerate someone daring to treat him with contempt... just like Zhen Ning Hou treats me!" When Zhen Ning Hou was mentioned, the emperor's tone was extraordinarily cold.

"My son can only be admired by thousands of people!" He clapped his hands heavily on the armrests on both sides, and the emperor seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Whether the seventh prince of the Canglan Kingdom has really experienced the baptism of iron and blood, I It’s time for Yu’er to experience it.”

There was sharp perseverance in his eyes, and his gaze was like a knife cutting iron like clay, shining with a cold light that made people unable to look directly.

Just as the emperor had made up his mind, in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the eunuch who delivered the decree walked into the deep dungeon together with the official of the Ministry of Punishment who entered the palace to ask for a letter, and read out the emperor's decree word for word.

Word after word fell into Zhen Ninghou's ears. He who had been tied up and kneeling on the ground was suddenly so frightened that his legs became weak and he slumped down. His eyes were filled with unbelievable surprise. When the eunuch delivered the imperial edict, he After the reading, Zhen Ninghou took a big breath and looked towards him.

"What crime have I committed? I want Your Majesty to kill everyone in my Zhenninghou Mansion! Someone is clearly framing me. I want to see Your Majesty, father-in-law, I want to see Your Majesty!" His limbs were tied tightly, and he seemed to be squirming. Like maggots, he tried his best to get closer to the eunuch who was delivering the order.

"As long as your father-in-law is willing to let me see your majesty, I promise your father-in-law ten thousand taels of silver and several hectares of fertile land..."

The servant who delivered the order Liang Liang glanced at him, but ignored him. He only said to Tao Ye, who was kneeling to receive the order: "Master Tao, your Majesty's decree is this. Master Tao, just follow the order."

Tao Ye respectfully accepted the imperial edict, "I obey the edict."

After saying that, the servant who delivered the order turned and left. In this dark dungeon, rats and cockroaches were scurrying around, and the air was filled with a strong, choking rancid smell. He didn't want to stay there for a moment longer.

The chamberlain's father-in-law raised his feet and walked away. The remaining thought in Zhen Ninghou's heart was completely shattered. He turned to look at Tao Ye, his eyes widened, "Someone said that you came to His Majesty this afternoon to read a copy of my book and said something about me. Deliberately plotting to kill His Highness the Fourth Highness? I have no grudges or worries with you, you are going to do this! What good will this do to you!"

Facing the imminent death penalty and completely losing all hope, Zhen Ninghou turned all the fear of death in his heart into full of anger.
