Following Zhi Miaoyin's lotus steps, she walked step by step towards her box. Sima Yao and Sima Daozi stared at her closely without moving their eyes. Even the hundreds of wealthy young men outside the venue
, the ladies of high families also held their breaths to watch the fighting on the horse stage. There were too many local young men from small and medium-sized powerful families who came to gamble. Most of them had never seen Zhi Miaoyin, who was famous all over the world. Today, he got lucky.
As soon as they saw her, she was so full of food and beauty that she couldn't even speak.
Following Zhi Miaoyin, he sat down at the table without squinting, bowed slightly to the emperor and the King of Kuaiji, then closed his eyes, struck the wooden fish, and began to chant the scriptures. Diao Kui raised the corners of his mouth and said loudly:
"Today, our stage will usher in the most important fight. This fight represents the judgment of heaven on whether a former warrior and a hero of the Jin Dynasty is loyal or traitorous. This person,
It was Liu Yu, the former leader of the Tiger Force of the Beifu Army who once defeated the Qin Army at Feishui and was personally awarded the title of the First Warrior by His Majesty. He also later had an affair with the Princess of Yan State, which resulted in the destruction of our army and the bloodshed of tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield!
"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in a state of shock, as if a pot had exploded. Liu Yu's affair with the Princess of Yan has been known to everyone in the Jin Dynasty these days, but everyone thought that Liu Yu would be executed by Ming Zhengdian Xingdi.
Jiankang never thought that his life or death would be decided today on this stage.
Some people began to shout: "Liu Yu's crime should be beheading and abandoning the city. Why are you fighting here? And you said that God should decide his fate?"
"That's right, such a heinous criminal can't forgive his hatred even if he is cut into pieces. How can he be allowed to fight here?"
"Should we let this villain die in a fighting arena, so that more people can see it? Should we let him be chopped into pieces before he dies, so that we can bet on him next time?"
Zhi Miaoyin listened to these words, her expression was as calm as water, and the wooden fish in her hand did not stop for a moment, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her.
Sima Yao glanced at Zhi Miaoyin, stood up slowly, and walked to Diao Kui's side. Diao Kui respectfully retreated and handed the big iron trumpet to Sima Yao. All the noise in the venue came to an end, and everyone stared at it.
Sima Yao opened his mouth, wanting to hear what the emperor would say.
Sima Yao swept his eyes across the audience, cleared his throat, and said: "Dear citizens of the Jin Dynasty, today I and the King of Kuaiji came here in person to deal with Liu Yu's matter. After repeated questioning by the Tingwei Mansion, Liu Yu
Yu admitted that he had an affair with Murong Lan, the princess of Yan Kingdom, and even had a lifelong private engagement to become husband and wife."
When he said this, the wooden fish in Zhi Miaoyin's hand stopped slightly, and for just a moment, it struck again as before.
Sima Yao continued: "But Liu Yu also insisted that he and Murong Lan met because the former Taiwei Xie An and the former Qin general Murong Chui were allies and joined forces to fight against Qin. They lived and died together for many years before they fell in love and got married.
As husband and wife, they had never rebelled against the Jin Dynasty and surrendered to the Yan State. Ting Wei Diao Kui did not let him change his story after repeated interrogations. In addition, there were important ministers and generals in the court who guarantor Liu Yu to ensure that he would never commit any treason.
Therefore, it is really difficult for me to decide on this matter. After all, there is no basis for killing a hero of the country, and I am afraid of being punished by heaven. Therefore, I am here to announce today that Liu Yu’s fate will be decided by heaven. If he can perform on this horse stage
If he survives three battles in the fighting arena, it proves that what he said is right, otherwise, God will definitely punish such an unfaithful and unjust person who betrays his country and abandons his family!"
A burst of thunderous cheers erupted in the stadium: "Long live, long live, long live the wise saint!"
"Let God decide whether Liu Yu lives or dies and whether he is a hero or a sinner!"
"God is wise, let this person who betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy die on the spot!"
"Is there anyone betting on this fight? I want to bet now!"
"Yes, I want to place a bet too. I want Liu Yu to die. Where can I place a bet?"
As these voices sounded, the noble boys in each box also rushed towards the place where the bets were placed. Diao Hong, with a white face and powdered face, was already happy, calling his subordinates and handing out money.
These gamblers use chips of different colors and adjust the odds on the board at any time.
On one side of the stage, in an inconspicuous box, Huan Xuan and Yin Zhongkan sat side by side. Yin Zhongkan put on a pair of silk eye masks today and sat next to Huan Xuan, looking coldly at the betting shed opposite.
There was a huge crowd of people there, and he sighed: "I didn't expect that the Diao family closed the gambling house in Jingkou, but opened a gambling house that was a hundred times the size of the Silver Gou Casino on this stage.
also."
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "Compared to Liu Yu's life and death, the excitement of winning and losing is obviously more interesting. These idiots think that the emperor said this, which means Liu Yu will definitely die. You see, they are now buying Liu Yu's lose. In fact,
I’m afraid I’ll lose all my money.”
Yin Zhongkan was slightly startled: "Oh, can Liu Yu survive this time? His relationship with Zhi Miaoyin is known to the world. Both the emperor and the brother are here in person today, and their pursuit of Zhi Miaoyin,
It is also known all over the world that Liu Yu will not survive."
Huan Xuan's eyes flashed coldly: "Don't worry, there are three good shows. In addition to the emperor and King Kuaiji, there are other, more powerful people who want Liu Yu's life. I think Liu Yu can't survive more than three."
It’s fair, but it shouldn’t be today.”
Having said this, Huan Xuan turned to look at Hu Fan, who was standing outside the shed with a big bow on his back, and smiled slightly: "Daoxu, have you thought about it? Do you want to fight Liu Yu?"
Hu Fan gritted his teeth: "I didn't expect that the dignified hero of Beifu would actually collaborate with the enemy and treason. I really misjudged him. However, if you fight many against one, even if you win, you are not considered a hero."
Huan Xuan shook his head: "But when Liu Yu led the Yan army to besiege a small number of our troops, was it a fair duel? Then when the Yan army used the cruel Liyuan Fire to burn tens of thousands of my soldiers, where was the fairness? Hu Fan
, this time I will give you a chance to become famous in the world. If you kill Liu Yu, you will not only achieve your reputation as a brave man, but also be able to eliminate traitors for the country. You see, even the emperor is saying this now, what else do you have?
Is it doubtful? Don't worry, this time, in full view of the public, in broad daylight, no one will try to take away your credit."
Lu Zongzhi on the side patted Hu Fan on the shoulder: "Tao Xu, the emperor made it very clear that if Liu Yu is innocent, God will naturally let him live. If he is guilty, then with our help, we can help him."
Why are you hesitating to avenge the soldiers he killed?"
Hu Fan gritted his teeth, took off the big bow from his back, and said in a deep voice: "Then let this Youji bow decide Liu Yu's life or death. Mr. Huan, when will we take action?"
