Li Zongmian waved his hand, and he smiled at Zhu Zhu and said: "You don't have to be pity. What kind of people are the officials? How could they not know that there are people behind this incident? Now the official's decree is just to calm the people of the world, but
But it doesn’t mean that this matter is over. Don’t you know that the officials still have the Imperial City Division?”
Zhu Zhu suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about the Imperial City Division. With the Imperial City Division here, this murderer can't escape."
So the three of them settled the matter happily, and all the officials soon found out, and everyone was very happy.
When they learned that it was Zhao Yun who put righteousness first and the world first, and decreed to end the incident and stabilize the people of the world, all the officials even called His Majesty wise, and the memorial praising Zhao Yun flew to Zhao Yun's desk like snowflakes.
, which made Zhao Yun both painful and happy.
As for Zhou Cang, he was executed in public. Of course, the execution method was very cruel. That was Ling Chi.
Most of the emperors of the Song Dynasty governed the world with tolerance, and very few people were sentenced to Lingchi. However, no one objected to this kind of punishment for Zhou Cang, and everyone said that Zhou Cang deserved it.
On the day of Zhou Cang's execution, the execution ground had three floors inside and three floors outside. It was crowded with people. Everyone was looking forward to it. There were even countless people crawling on the roof. Many children were still sitting on the shoulders of adults.
Go up there and chatter non-stop.
Not only that, many hawkers also saw business opportunities, carrying a load, and gathered around the crowd to shout for business. Everyone was in a good mood and happy, and the hawkers' business was naturally not bad. On this day, Lingchi, who was so majestic and terrifying, was actually tricked by the common people.
It’s as lively as the Chinese New Year.
But when Lingchi started, watching the flesh on Zhou Cang's body being cut off piece by piece, Zhou Cang's pitiful shouting made people's skin crawl. Many people couldn't stand it anymore and dispersed one by one.
Among the crowd, people from the Imperial City Department were naturally indispensable. They were always paying attention to the changes in the expressions of the people around them, hoping to find clues.
Suddenly, he saw a policeman from the Imperial City Division who had turned into a civilian. He noticed a suspicious person. This suspicious person was in his thirties. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, his eyes were sharp and he had a military air in his movements.
The Luo soldier's name is Qiu Wu. He has been a member of the Imperial City Division for many years. His ancestors have also been Luo soldiers of the Imperial City Division for three generations. He has a very high sense of mission.
Based on his feeling, Qiu Wu immediately judged that there was something wrong with this person. Then Qiu Wu approached the person intentionally or unintentionally, and carefully observed him at close range.
At this moment, they were not far from each other. Qiu Wu noticed that when the man looked at Zhou Cang, there was a look of unbearable in his eyes. Qiu Wu even more concluded that there was something wrong with this man.
The person who executed Ling Chi was an old master. His skills were superb. Pieces of flesh were cut off, and soon the bones were seen, and blood flowed all over the floor. The pain was painful, but it did not hurt Zhou Cang's life in a short period of time.
Zhou Cang's life was worse than death. He begged his master several times to give him a happy life, but the master ignored him.
Zhou Cang couldn't stand it anymore, so he shouted loudly: "I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to attack, I'm going to attack."
This shout immediately surprised everyone. The old master subconsciously stopped his hand and looked at Zhu Zhu who was supervising the execution.
Zhu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "I'm about to die, but you still want to talk nonsense and survive. You don't need to pay attention to it and continue to torture me."
After hearing this, the master no longer hesitated and continued the torture. Zhou Cang's mouth was also gagged with a cloth and he could no longer speak.
The common people thought that things were about to take a shocking turn, and they had become energetic just now. However, when they saw that Zhu Zhu was unmoved, they became disappointed. Finally, they couldn't bear the terrifying horror and dispersed one after another.
As for the strong man who was being stared at by Qiu Wu, when he heard Zhou Cang was about to confess just now, his expression was obviously tense, as if his heart was suddenly lifted up and he was filled with worry.
His expression fell in Qiu Wu's eyes, and Qiu Wu could already conclude that this man must have a close relationship with the assassination of Da Yu.
There were not many people left, and the strong man seemed to be worried about being exposed, so he left quietly. Qiu Wu followed carefully, not far or near.
The strong man finally came to a private house and knocked on the door. An old man opened the door. The strong man looked left and right before entering. Qiu Wu had quick eyes and quick hands and hurriedly pressed his body against the wall, so that he was not noticed.
Seeing him go in, Qiu Wu waited for a while, but didn't notice him coming. He didn't dare to approach rashly for fear of disturbing the situation, so he left quietly and went back to report the news.

But he said that the strong man entered the house, carefully closed the door, and then said with an annoyed look: "Uncle, I didn't expect that Zhou Cang was also a thief who was greedy for life and afraid of death. At the last moment, he actually asked the seller to seek glory. Thanks to Song Ting's stupidity,
The bird officer didn't pay attention, otherwise, I'm afraid we would all die at his hands."
The old man said: "The punishment of Lingchi was not easy to bear. If Zhou Cang can persevere until now, he has done the right thing for his mistress."
The strong man dismissed it and said: "When a man is born as a real man, he should put loyalty first, why should he be afraid of being attacked by swords and axes! If it were me, Yang Tong, who was Ling Chi today, what would happen? I would never frown."
It turned out that the strong man's name was Yang Tong, and the old man's name was Yang Jing. The two were uncle-nephew.
The old man did not speak, but nodded in agreement perfunctorily, and then said: "Now that Zhou Cang is dead, the mistress's plan has been ruined, and there is nothing to do about the future. It is useless for me to stay here. It will be a long night and a lot of dreams. We will still be here tomorrow.
It would be better to leave Lin'an as early as possible."
When Yang Tong heard that he was about to leave, he was upset. In this great situation, he was about to make a contribution, but now it was all in vain. He cursed: "Is this emperor an emperor or not? He is so treasonous.
It ended so hastily, I really wanted to slap him a few times."
Yang Jing was also filled with emotion. He sighed and said: "I thought that this time I could use the opportunity of treason to slaughter half of the civil and military members of his court and avenge the lord of the year. But I didn't expect to meet such a bird emperor. He has no temper at all and is harmful.
The mother-in-law has done all that useless work in vain, and now that it has happened, there is nothing we can do."
The uncle and nephew were obviously surprised and angry that Zhao Yun had hastily ended his conspiracy against Da Yu, but they were alone and had no choice but to simply pack up and prepare to leave Lin'an.
However, they didn't know that by such a coincidence today, Qiu Wu discovered their traces. Just as they were packing their bags and preparing to leave tomorrow, Zhang Chu was already making plans on how to arrest them, and their residence was already there.
Under the surveillance of the Imperial City Suluo soldiers.
Zhang Chu personally came to a courtyard next to the house. He was excited and asked Qiu Wu in an excited tone: "Qiu Wu, how is the situation now? Do they have any accomplices?"
