King of Song

Chapter 325 Perfect Rescue
Zhe Wenxin and Zhong Shidao entered the city early in the morning, and then went straight to Yushitai.They have already received news that Lin Zhao's case of treason is being tried at Yushitai.

But they never expected that the trial would have been held within a few days and the sentence would be executed today.

Lin Zhao was sentenced to death?
When Zhewenxin heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and five thunders hit the top, and he almost fainted directly.The situation became extremely difficult and urgent, and the two dared not delay, and immediately went straight to the execution ground.

As long as Lin Zhao is still alive and there are new clues to the case, things will turn around.

Zhe Wenxin didn't know the power and interests behind it, let alone the roles played by the emperor Zhao Xu and the prime minister Wang Anshi. She just firmly believed in one belief and rescued Lin Zhao no matter what.

The two of them were not very familiar with the roads in Bianjing, so they were delayed for a while, but they finally caught up.

"Leave people under the knife!"

Lin Zhao's heart skipped a beat, didn't he?Such a thing really happened to me?When I opened my eyes, I saw the dusty Zhewenxin, the tears flickering in her eyes, and the worry and longing in her eyes...

Here she comes, she comes for me!While Lin Zhao was moved, she was also thinking about Zhe Wenxin's reason for coming. Is it her own behavior?Or does it represent Fuzhou Zhejia?There is also a kind of teacher way, what kind of identity does he appear in?this point is very important.

The executioner didn't know what to do, but he still stepped aside tactfully.Li Han asked in surprise: "Who are you? Why are you disturbing the execution ground?"

"Qingjian City is a kind of teacher, Fuzhou Zhewenxin has met two adults!" The two of them reported their families together, and many people present were shocked.

Although Li Han and Wang Dongjian are civil servants, they are also very aware of the status of the Chong family and the Zhe family in the Song military.It is not surprising that Zhongjia was involved in this case, but why did Zhejia get involved?
Many people in the audience held the same curiosity and thought that blood would splatter, but the beauties who were separated by heaven and man were a little surprised.They didn't know the two people in front of them, but they could tell that they came to save their husbands. The words "keep people under the knife" are enough to excite them, at least let them see the possibility of a turnaround.

The iron-faced suzerain was worrying about how to stop it, and the appearance of Zhewenxin and Zhong Shidao undoubtedly helped him out, and he would definitely be able to buy more time.

Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, the Iron Faced Sovereign looked at the two young men who rushed over with full expectation, and couldn't help wondering, what happened to Zhejia's participation?It seems that there will be some turning point, at least you can delay the time and wait for the Empress Dowager Cao to arrive...

On the execution platform, Wang Dongjian asked, "What are you guys trying to do?"

"Master Zhong, are you here to plead guilty and subdue the law?" Li Han asked coldly. In this case, Master Zhong was Lin Zhao's accomplice, and he is still wanted.

Mr. Chong Dao said loudly: "My lord, don't worry, whether my family is guilty or not, and whether Lin Zhao is guilty or not, I should clarify today!"

"Hmph, what else can I say about the collaborator and treasonous Huangkou boy? Let's take it down first, and after the execution of the principal offender, we will discuss the crime with him!" Li Han and Wang Dongjian are inextricably linked with Wang Yu and Lu Huiqing , from the trial to the present supervision and execution, he has received some instructions, and today he is determined to kill Lin Zhao.Therefore, I was a little anxious, and I didn't want to be delayed by Zhewenxin and Zhong Shidao, so as not to cause side effects.

"Wait!" Zhewenxin said loudly: "Human life is at stake, how can you be so hasty?"

"Is it hasty?" Li Han said coldly: "This case has already been tried by the Yushitai and the Criminal Ministry, and the prime minister and the officials have approved it. Will there be any mistakes?"

"The officials are wise and wise, and you are dedicated to your duties. You must have been deceived by some people!" Zhe Wenxin still gave them face and said, "I have new evidence for this case! Lin Zhao bought it from Tubo." The two thousand war horses are not owned by the breeder, but have been transported to Fuzhou and belong to our Zhe family!"

"What?" Zhe Wenxin's voice was loud, even though he was standing a little far away, Wang Yu could hear it clearly.From the moment someone shouted "Keep people under the sword", he had an ominous premonition, and it was true!

The one who bought the war horse was the Fuzhou Zhejia, so it had nothing to do with the Zhongjia, and the fact that Lin Zhao colluded with the Zhongjia to treason with the enemy would be self-defeating.And what is the identity of Zhejia, and after participating, how big is the impact?

Lu Huiqing also had a gloomy face. She thought that Lin Zhao was going to die today and his head would fall, but she didn't want another accident to happen.The sudden participation of Zhongjia and Zhejia made this matter complicated and confusing, adding many variables.Just think about how turbulent the Northwest frontier defense is with the involvement of two major military families in the Northwest.

Fortunately, it was not exposed during the trial, otherwise the officials and ministers would have to be afraid.Now that he is on the execution ground, there is still a chance to kill Lin Zhao as soon as possible.

He and Wang Yu knew very well, what kind of role did Li Fugui play in this matter?Letting things go on like this will be even more detrimental to them.If Lin Zhao didn't die on the execution ground today, it would be difficult to put him to death.Once the incident is fully exposed, it will definitely have a great impact on them.

If Lin Zhao was killed at this moment, even if it was found out in the future that it was an unjust, false and wrongful case, the emperor, who refused to admit his mistake, would help him and eliminate the matter invisible.

So, they immediately sent people to find a way to instruct Li Han and Wang Dongjian to kill Lin Zhao.

The iron-faced suzerain was pleasantly surprised, this is definitely a turning point!
Li Fugui's framing began to have a breakthrough. With the good news from Jiang Leiting and the intervention of the Empress Dowager Cao, the matter can be resolved smoothly.

At the same time, the iron-faced suzerain also realized a great blessing in disguise.Both the Zhong family and the Zhe family came forward to rescue the young master, which shows that these two military families support the young master.The status and strength of Zhongjia and Zhejia in the Western Army are of great benefit to future affairs.

Although Meng Ruoying and Mu Sihong over there didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, they knew what Zhe Wenxin said.Maybe today, Lin Lang can be safe and sound!

Meng Ruoying looked at Zhewenxin on the execution platform, and her heart moved, she knew that Fulang had gained another confidante.Even though Zhewenxin was dressed in men's clothing, the fact that she was a daughter could not be concealed at all.Why did a woman travel all the way to Bianjing to rescue her?Also from the Northwest, there may have been stories between them.

On the execution platform, Li Han waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the matter has come to this, do you still want to use such means to deceive the public?"

"Wait and get out of the way first, don't delay the execution!" Wang Dongjian was determined to go his own way after receiving hints from Wang Yu and others.

Zhe Wenxin said angrily: "Since there is evidence, Lin Zhao's charges are open to question. How can he be so casual and disregard human life?"

"What if Zhongliang is killed by mistake?" Zhong Shidao was also furious.

Li Han said coldly: "When I saw it, you were colluding and trying to disrupt the execution ground. Someone...take them down!"

At this moment, killing Lin Zhao is the most important thing.As for the consequences, they couldn't care less...

"you……"

Many guards have stepped forward to stop him, and Zhe Wenxin and Zhong Shidao can't do anything, otherwise they may be framed as a robbery field, and the nature and consequences will change...

The iron-faced suzerain's heart was cold and full of anger. It seemed that someone had a strong desire to kill the young master!

It would be nice if it could be delayed for a while, the current situation...

"Wait! Are you so reckless about human life and act recklessly?" A fast horse suddenly rushed to the execution ground, and the crowd of onlookers ran away after seeing it.

A young man jumped onto the execution platform and kicked away the executioner who was about to step forward.

"Bold, who disturbed the court?" Li Han and Wang Dongjian didn't expect that another Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway.

"If you don't change your name when you're going, if you don't change your surname when you sit down, I, Cao Jian, are the same!"

Some sharp-eyed people have already recognized that this person is Cao Jian, the grandson of Uncle Cao Guo.

Seeing Cao Jian's arrival, the iron-faced suzerain finally let go of the big stone hanging in his heart.

Over there, Wang Yu and Lu Huiqing were stunned. How could Cao Jian come?What does this have to do with the Cao family?Today's situation has become more and more complicated and uncontrollable.Lu Huiqing had a very ominous premonition, and I am afraid that today is going to be another day of joy in vain.

Lin Zhao was also at a loss. Although he knew Cao Jian, his friendship was average, so it was strange to help him like this.He didn't notice that Cao Jian stared at him suspiciously for a moment, full of doubts and surprises...

Li Han and Wang Dongjian could embarrass Zhong Shidao and Zhe Wenxin, but they didn't dare to do anything to Cao Jian easily. After all, behind the Cao family was the Empress Dowager.

"Cao Jian, what are you trying to do by disturbing the court?" Li Han questioned forcefully.

Cao Jian laughed jokingly: "Disturbing the execution ground? Is it just for me to be brave? I don't know if I'm saving him, but I'm also saving you!"

"Save us?" Wang Dongjian looked surprised.

At this time, a huge guard of honor appeared not far away, and someone shouted loudly: "The empress dowager is here!"

The iron-faced suzerain is completely relieved, as long as the Cao family comes, it is impossible for anyone to touch Lin Zhao in the slightest.Now I just hope that Jiang Leiting will hurry up and things will be perfect.

Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun were overjoyed. It seemed that Chai Minyan had made progress. Hope emerged after despair, which made them weep with joy.

"Lin Lang is saved!" Mu Sihong muttered to himself, overwhelmed with surprise, a dagger in his sleeve fell to the ground with a bang.

Wang Yu and Lu Huiqing looked at each other in blank dismay, why did the Empress Dowager come?There are many people who are as puzzled as they are.Li Han and Wang Dongjian were also puzzled, so they had to stand up and greet them respectfully!
The Empress Dowager arrived in a chariot, accompanied by her daughter Zhao Fukang and daughter-in-law Chai Minyan...

Li Han and other officials and servants, as well as the onlookers, all greeted them respectfully and thoughtfully according to the etiquette.

"See the Empress Dowager!"

With the support of Zhao Fukang and Chai Minyan, Mrs. Cao walked out, completely dismissing the two supervisors who bowed their heads.Instead, he looked at the execution platform from a distance, and at Lin Zhao who was bound with his hands.

Is it him?Seeing that the face was carved out of the same mold as Concubine Lin, Mrs. Cao no longer doubted it.With a lot of emotion in my heart, I said silently: Lord Xian, your flesh and blood are still in the world, you can rest in peace...

At the same time, strong anger rose in Cao's heart. It is an unforgivable crime for these people to attack their son.Fortunately, Lin Zhao is safe and sound, so he can rest assured for the time being.

Although Cao was excited, she really wanted to rush to recognize Lin Zhao and take a good look at Emperor Renzong's biological son... But she also knew that if Lin Zhao's identity was revealed, the consequences would be disastrous.So, I had no choice but to suppress the feelings in my heart and, as always, show the majesty of my mother's respect to the world.

Zhao Fukang looked at Lin Zhao intentionally or unintentionally. Although they were siblings, she was more than ten years older than Lin Zhao, and there was more love and concern in her eyes at the moment.

When Chai Minyan saw Lin Zhao, all the worries and worries that had been accumulated in his heart burst out, like a flood bursting its embankment, and tears fell like rain.

Mrs. Cao walked forward with heavy steps, Li Han on the ground couldn't help but said: "The Empress Dowager, the execution ground is too cold, I think you should not set foot here, so as not to bump into the Empress Dowager's fortune!"

"Can you teach me how to do it?" The queen mother called herself Aijia, which is a saying in operas, movies and TV dramas, but it doesn't exist at all.

The empress dowager questioned a person like this, and she was very angry, Li Han immediately trembled, trembling beside him, motionless...

Cao Shi didn't look at them at all, and went directly to the execution platform. For her "son", she would never hesitate in any gloomy and cold place.

"What are you doing today? Killing people on the streets of Bianjing?"

Wang Dongjian said: "Going back to the Empress Dowager, because Lin Zhao colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and committed a capital crime, the officials ordered him to be executed here."

Is it reliable to bring out the emperor to suppress the empress dowager?How can a determined grandmother be afraid of her grandson?

"Really? Collaborating with the enemy and treason? Is that really the case?" Cao asked in a deep voice.

Cao Jian bowed and said, "Empress Dowager, it seems that someone has evidence to prove Lin Zhao's innocence, but these two are determined to go their own way and want to ignore human life!"

Zhe Wenxin over there knew why the Empress Dowager would appear suddenly, but he knew it was a rare good opportunity, so he rushed forward and knelt down and said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, Lin Zhao was really wronged. The two thousand horses were not It belongs to the Zhong family, but to our Zhe family... The younger daughter's acting brother, Fuzhou Governor Zhe Kexing, surrendered to the court..."

Fuzhou Zhejia?The Cao family, who was born in a general family, naturally knew about it, and she was also very surprised. How could the Zhe family get involved?
But it is good for someone to come forward to help rescue Lin Zhao.Looking at Zhe Wenxin's fiery eyes, he often glances at Lin Zhao, and his concern and love are very obvious.It seems that my son has a lot of confidante!Seeing Meng Ruoying in her wedding dress again, Mrs. Cao couldn't help smiling.

"Really? That means there's something else hidden about this matter?" Madam Cao pretended to ask, and said in displeasure, "Then you are still acting so rashly, are you really trying to disregard human life?"

Li Han said in a deep voice: "No, I thought he was colluding and secretly channeling... Besides, the official ordered him to be executed at noon today. We also acted according to the order!"

"It's because of you that you still say it?" Cao said furiously: "The officials inherit the legacy of their ancestors and fathers, and are kind and generous. It must be you people who are acting recklessly! Thanks to the fact that you are still officials of the Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment, the teachings of the sages Have you all forgotten? Let alone, Bao Zheng, a scholar of LongTuge, passed away only a few years ago, and his careful and fair handling of cases was praised by Emperor Renzong himself, and he was learned by all officials, have you all taken it as a deaf ear?"

You use the current little emperor as a shield, and they directly bring out Emperor Renzong, and there are reasons.Even if the emperor Zhao Xu came again in person, he did not dare to refute casually.

Li Han and Wang Dongjian were speechless, and Lu Huiqing in the distance was even more confused. How could the Empress Dowager come out to speak for Lin Zhao?Or to be there in person, is his face so big?

It can be seen that Lin Zhao will definitely not die today.Why is it always a little bit worse every time?Once again, there is no hope of revenge, which makes Lu Huiqing very angry.It's just that the Empress Dowager has come forward, and they can't intervene at all.

"How could this be?" Lu Huiqing was exhausted, exhausted, and extremely disappointed.

Wang Yu was also disappointed, sighed repeatedly, looked at Zhao Fukang and Chai Minyan beside Cao, and said, "It should be Chai Minyan who interceded, she cured the eldest princess' illness, the empress dowager is giving her a favor..."

They didn't know that just now, Chai Minyan cured Uncle Cao Guo's serious illness and brought him back to life.But in fact, Chai Minyan only met Uncle Cao Guo, and didn't even say much. She herself was at a loss at the moment...

But Zhao Fukang told her that the Empress Dowager would come forward and told her not to ask too many questions or talk casually.This is enough, as long as you can rescue Lin Zhao, you can do anything...

"What should we do now?" Cao asked coldly Wang Dongjian and Li Han who were trembling.

"The ministers don't know!" Li Han replied boldly: "However, Zhe Wenxin's words are one-sided. The trial evidence of Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment is convincing, and the prime minister and officials have approved it, so..."

"So what's the matter?" Cao said in a deep voice, "Since there are problems and doubts, they should be cleared up. How could they be so hasty? At least it should be re-examined!"

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This statement did not make sense in the Song Dynasty.In the early years of Renzong, Empress Dowager Zhangxian Liu controlled the government for many years. In the original history, after Song Zhezong came to the throne, Empress Dowager Gao Taotao also assisted the government for many years.Therefore, Cao's words are quite weighty, which makes them very afraid.

Even so, Li Han still said: "If it's just her one-sided statement, I'm afraid...unless there is more new evidence!"

"We have the evidence!" Two ragged men who looked like beggars rushed forward.

"Who are you?" Cao asked in a deep voice.

"The defenders of Dashun City Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo are meeting with the Empress Dowager!"

"you……"

"We want to testify for Lin Zhao, and at the same time sue Li Fugui, the magistrate of Gyeongju, for creating unjust prisons for his own self-interest, and massacring more than a thousand people in Dashun City. I beg the Empress Dowager to make decisions for the thousands of heroic spirits who died in vain in Dashun City... "After that, the two of them fell on the ground, weeping uncontrollably!

Jing Sili?Liu Changzuo?

When Wang Yu heard the names of these two people, his heart skipped a beat.It's over, something bad is going to happen, something big is going to happen!
