Chapter 2031 Execution
After Xu Changqing left, Su Jinpa received a notice and asked Zhou Changshou to see him.
After entering the palace, Zhou Changshou bowed politely and said: "Common people, please see that the Crown Princess is a thousand years old."
Su Jinpa nodded slightly and showed enough respect to Zhou Ping'an's brother. He first watched and sat down, and then served tea.
"Thank you, Princess."
Zhou Changshou was not polite. After bowing politely, he picked up the tea cup and took a few sips.
After working around for a while, he was also a little thirsty.
"Have people been brought out?" Su Jinpa asked.
Zhou Changshou put down the teacup, cupped his hands and said, "It has been brought out, just waiting for the Crown Princess's order."
"I'm gone. Take them away and guard them first to make sure nothing happens. After the Jinyi Guards finish the matter, let them come forward to clear their name."
Su Jinpa said calmly: "The court meeting has passed, and the Jin Yiwei side must have been ready to finish the matter as soon as possible."
Zhou Changshou stood up and said: "Then the common people will retire now."
"Thank you." Su Jinpa nodded.
Zhou Changshou smiled slightly, saluted respectfully, then turned and left.
Caishikou, Beijing.
Since ancient times, there have been two beheading places in Beijing.
One is the Meridian Gate, which is the place where high-ranking people are beheaded. Most of the court officials, relatives of the emperor, etc. who commit the serious crime of beheading will be taken here to be beheaded.
This is often said to be the introduction of the Meridian Gate Wen Zhan.
Another place is Caishikou.
Caishikou is a densely populated area, and most people beheaded here are felons arrested in the Gyeonggi region.
The purpose is to serve as a warning to others and to frighten Xiaoxiao.
Of course, there were also a very small number of officials who were taken to Caishikou and beheaded. Most of these officials had committed heinous crimes and had offended the emperor so much that they ended up like this.
Today, it happened.
Although it was still snowing heavily in the capital, countless people still surrounded the market entrance.
Officers, soldiers and guards surrounded the execution platform to prevent people from trespassing.
And on the huge execution platform, eight disheveled people knelt in a row, wearing thin prison uniforms and shackles. Everyone's face was as desperate as death. They all had serious injuries on their bodies. It was obvious that they had been killed before.
After being severely tortured, several people even had their hand tendons and hamstrings broken, which was extremely miserable.
But no one sympathized with them.
More of them are insults.
These eight people, before today, were all majestic members of the Imperial Guard. They had a high status and held great power. Not to mention ordinary people, even officials, their knees felt weak when they saw them.
But they had always only beheaded others, and now they were sent to the guillotine.
Hu Fei is among them.
At this moment, Hu Fei's hair was disheveled. He was the most seriously injured, with blood all over his body, and his hand tendons and hamstrings were severed. At this moment, he was looking up at Chen Tong who was standing on the high platform and reading out the imperial edict.
"According to the empress's decree, Hu Fei and the other eight people were serving as royal guards for thousands of households, and they were paid by the imperial government, but they could not be loyal to the emperor. They deceived the superiors and concealed the truth in secret, and even committed heinous crimes. Now a big mistake has been made. Failure to kill will not be enough to anger the common people.
, not killing is not enough to serve as a warning to others!"
"Good kill!"
"That's right, kill them!"
"kill!!!"
A burst of support erupted from the crowd.
Chen Tong took a deep breath, his eyes were burning, and despite the heavy snow, he coldly said to Hu Fei and others: "Execution!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the eight executioners started at the same time, raised their heads, took a sip of strong wine, and sprayed the swords in their hands.
Chapter completed!
