"Sister." Behind Cui Zheyu, Cui Ziying's voice sounded, with a hint of worry.
Only then did Cui Zheyu retract his gaze, turned around and smiled at his brother: "What's wrong? The prison van has passed by, you really don't want to go and take a look?"
Cui Ziying carefully looked at the bright red woman in front of him. When he was in the Qi tribe, he wanted to cut Yu Chen into pieces every day. But now, when Yu Chen is really going to be taken to the execution ground, he is more concerned about it.
But she is his only relative in this world, his sister.
When he came back this time, Cui Ziying clearly felt that his sister had changed a lot compared to before, and such changes were not that exciting. He also knew that after going through those things, his sister could not be the gentle and carefree sister she once was, but he
I hope she can at least let go of these things and live her life well in the future.
Cui Zheyu raised her hand to hold the coral hairpin in her hair and said with a smile: "Don't worry, today is a good day. Let's go visit my parents' graves in the afternoon?"
"Yeah." Cui Ziying nodded.
Yesterday, when Yu Chen's incident was made known to the world, it also cleared away the grievances of the Cui family back then. Although General Cui still had the fault of not being strict with his subordinates and not knowing people well, but he clearly died on the battlefield in recent years.
It's so much better to still be suspected of being in cahoots with Yu Chen.
At least they can move their parents' graves back to their ancestral graves and erect a monument openly and honestly. Cui Ziying's body is no longer able to be a military commander, but he can still take the imperial examination and become an official in the future.
After discussion, the Cui siblings decided not to move the grave for the time being.
Both parents have been buried for many years, so there is no need to disturb their peace. If Cui Ziying can make great achievements and restore the glory of the Cui family in the future, it will not be too late to move the grave again.
"Zi Ying, it's my sister who can't help you." Thinking of this, the smile on Cui Zheyu's face gradually faded. The Cui family is in such a state now, in the final analysis, it is all because of Yu Chen, and Yu Chen was the person she once was.
s husband.
Cui Ziying shook his head and said: "If sister says this, doesn't it mean that dad is sorry for you? If dad didn't value Yu Chen, he wouldn't let you marry her. Besides, dad and I are the ones who get along with him the most, and neither of us
It can be seen that he..."
Yu Chen hid it so deeply that none of them could see that such a person could actually be a craftsman harboring evil intentions.
The Cui family suffered this calamity, probably because of fate, so there is no one to blame.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Cui Zheyu didn't want to mention these things on a day like today, so he smiled and said: "Let's go to the execution ground."
Cui Ziying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister, do you really want to go?" Yu Chen was not sentenced to ordinary execution, but to Ling Chi.
That scene would never make anyone feel comfortable, and Cui Ziying was a little worried.
Cui Zheyu said calmly: "There is a beginning and an end, so I'd better give him a ride myself."
Closer to the execution ground, Luo Junyao and others were also crowded in the private room of the teahouse. The prison van had not arrived yet, but the streets outside were already bustling with people.
From their place, they could just see the execution ground in the distance. In the past, this place was not a good place to drink tea, but now it is indeed full of guests and it is difficult to find one.
Qin Yao'er lay by the window and stretched her neck to look at the end of the street. Wei Changting, who was sitting inside, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said: "Xiao Qin, can you look at the time? Even if you break your neck,
I can’t come now.”
Qin Yao'er turned around dissatisfied and said, "The prison is not far from here, why is it so slow?"
Wei Changting was amused and said with a smile: "Walking on the street, you understand? Swimming slowly, you don't just take whichever road is closest."
Qin Yao'er then sat back, looked at Luo Junyao again and said, "Princess, let's go to the execution ground. The prince will be in prison today. You can sit next to the prince." Then she could stand somewhere.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "How about I push you next to the execution platform?"
"Okay, okay." Qin Yaoer was overjoyed. She had never seen Ling Chi with her own eyes.
Everyone in the private room was speechless. Wei Changting pointed at Qin Yao'er and said with a smile: "Princess, don't listen to her. She is very timid. If she can't cut twice, she will be too scared to look." Several people in the room were afraid.
They couldn't help laughing, and Qin Yao'er was so angry that she almost wanted to
I want to give Wei Changting some poison to try.
It would take some time for the prison car to pass by, so Luo Junyao chatted with Wei Changting about other things, "I heard that the Marquis of Lingchuan has agreed to leave the southern border of the town? When will we set off?"
Speaking of this, Young Master Wei also felt a little weak. He had just been beaten up by his father and mother's mixed doubles. Although he was secretly happy that no one would force him to get married after the two elders left, but it was really painful when his father's ruler hit him.
Besides, it wasn't him who asked him to go, so why not use it on Xie Yan if you have the strength?
Don't think he didn't notice it. The old man looked reluctant on the surface, but secretly he was quite happy.
Xie Yan is right, how can someone with some ability be willing to live at home at this age?
"The situation in southern Xinjiang is urgent. We can't wait until after the New Year before leaving. We will set off in a few days." Wei Changting said.
Luo Junyao thought for a while, "Fortunately, it's not too cold in the south, and the road is not difficult at all. The situation in southern Xinjiang is uncertain now, so the Marquis of Lingchuan should bring more guards." If he were to go to the north, it would be many times more difficult.
.
Wei Changting smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. Don't worry. The national army will escort my father into Southern Xinjiang. Soldiers and horses near Southern Xinjiang are also gathering at the border. Those people dare not act rashly. The prince speculates that there may be internal dangers in Southern Xinjiang.
There are people who want to become the king and hegemony, but if we talk about a full-scale war with Da Sheng, they probably won’t do it now.”
"That's good." Luo Jun shook her head and said. She knew that she really couldn't afford to fight what happened in Dasheng now.
On the other side, Yu Chen in the prison car was a little confused.
The noise around him and the things that hit him from time to time seemed to have gone away from him and had no impact on him. He stood blankly in the prison car, letting those things hit him and all kinds of insults.
Surround your ears.
At this moment, there was only one voice in his mind - my parents and children are waiting for you.
Yu Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then his head hurt as if it was about to explode. Those words kept coming back and forth in his mind, and his whole body began to tremble.
He thought of the tomb next to Cui Liao's tomb, which was obviously an extra one.
Cui Zheyu once said that it was her own.
Yu Chen suddenly turned his head to see Cui Zheyu, but the prison car had already passed the teahouse, and Cui Zheyu had disappeared.
Yu Chen couldn't help but struggle hard, and someone onlookers screamed in fright, "He wants to escape!"
Naturally, the officers who were escorting the prison van would not allow prisoners to escape on the street. Four officers on both sides armed with long guns stabbed into the prison van at the same time.
Yu Chen himself was seriously injured, and his current physical condition is probably no better than that of an ordinary adult man. Four long spears were staggered in front and behind his body, firmly fixing him in the prison car.
If he acted rashly again, he would probably be killed on the spot as if he was trying to escape.
Yu Chen stopped moving, but still turned his head and tried his best to look in the direction of the prison car, but in the end he saw nothing.
No matter how long the journey is, we will eventually reach the end. At three o'clock in the morning, several prison cars were finally sent to the execution ground.
Today's execution is obviously unusual. After all, the regent came to the prison in person, and many civil servants and generals from the court came to watch the execution. Except for the senior officials of the third rank and above, Mrs. Su, who is old and is currently in a cell,
Almost all of the people inside were present.
Some people even couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that His Highness the Regent wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkey?
Xie Yan sat on the main seat, and on his left and right sat the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushi Zuodu of the Ducha Yuan. Luo Yun, as one of the people who came to watch the execution, naturally sat on one side.
Seeing the disheveled Yu Chen being led into the execution ground, Luo Yun also shook his head silently.
He also had some dealings with Yu Chen back then. Who would have thought that all of them would have missed it?
A famous general back then was now executed along with a few young men, and he deserved what he deserved.
Before the execution, court officials also read out the charges against the person being executed to the prison officials, officials watching the execution, and the people.
When it's time for execution, the execution can begin only after the person's identity has been verified.
Legend has it that the execution ground is full of resentment, and noon is the time of day when the Yang energy is the strongest, so executions are generally chosen at three quarters of noon.
The official who read out the charges looked at it and found that it was still early, so he read the charges slowly and slowly.
First, there are the criminals involved in the Yao family murder case. Although many years have passed and these people are not the main culprits, this case is complicated and involves many things, and it really takes a lot of time to think about it.
Yu Chen was forced to kneel on the ground, hearing the accusations of people who had nothing to do with him and the pleading and fearful voices of the prisoners.
But Cui Zheyu's words were still echoing in his mind.
He tried hard to raise his head and look around. There were crowds of people around him, including unfamiliar faces. Everyone stared at him with disgust and hatred.
She didn't come? Impossible, how could she not want to watch him die?
Finally, he saw that familiar face among countless unfamiliar faces.
She was dressed in red and stood out among the crowd. Cui Ziying stood on her left, and a strange young man on her right.
The man was very handsome and young, and looked younger than Cui Ziying.
He was lowering his head and saying something to Cui Zheyu, with a smile on his young face.
Yu Chen was young once, so he naturally knew what that smile meant.
Just when Yu Chen's thoughts were in confusion, the official with a long pronunciation finally finished reciting the charges against the previous few people and began to recite Yu Chen's.
"Yu Shen, a prisoner on death row, is thirty years old..."
The execution ground was in an uproar. Just after hearing this name, the angry curses of the onlookers almost drowned out the official's voice.
Compared to the Yao family's murder, Yu Chen, the traitor, is obviously more hated.
Cui Zheyu, who was talking to the people around him, finally raised his head and looked at Yu Chen on the stage.
