382. Chapter 382 Killing chickens and scaring monkeys
There was silence in the cell, and a layer of motionless air pressure hovered above everyone's heads, making it impossible to breathe smoothly.
Xia Chengjun hurriedly turned around and knelt down: "Kowtow to the king!"
Quiet, very quiet.
Suddenly a shadow fell above my head. I knew who was standing in front of me without looking.
Xia Yan must have known about the forgery of the handwriting.
"Kow...kow to the king!" I put my hands on the ground and wished I could bury my face in the soil.
"You are quite courageous!" Xia Yan sneered coldly and said to Xia Chengjun: "Who let you in!"
Xia Chengjun raised his head in confusion: "It's not Brother Wang..."
"I forged the handwriting, and it has nothing to do with the Seventeenth Brother!" I was afraid that Xia Chengjun would have a psychological burden, so I didn't tell him. At that time, I thought about what would happen if I was found out. But I also took a chance and thought about Xia Yan's recent busy schedule.
I was so busy that I definitely didn’t have time to pay attention to this matter. Moreover, when I forged the handwriting, I had already chosen the most hidden hut, but I didn’t know how Xia Yan knew about it.
"Have I asked you?" Xia Yan's tone was stern.
We seemed to have suddenly returned to the days when we were at odds with each other. He didn't like me and looked for faults everywhere.
"Xia Chengjun, I'm asking you, how did you get in?" Xia Yan asked again in a dangerous tone.
Xia Chengjun hurriedly said: "This is my brother. I abused my power...Brother, please forgive me!"
After saying that, Xia Chengjun put his head close to the ground, his breath intersecting with the soil on the ground. Like him, I was kneeling on the ground with my body hunched over. I turned my head and saw the sweat on the tip of Xia Chengjun's nose.
Only now do I understand that the principle of accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. It turns out to be so profound.
The day before, everyone was fighting side by side, but on this day, those who shared the joys and sorrows with the emperor were kneeling at his feet in such a humble posture.
"I have said that no one can come in to visit without my order, but now the guards of the prison have let you in. Your ability is really great!"
Not only Xia Chengjun, but I also broke out in cold sweat.
"Someone is coming!"
"Here!" Liang Tao had replaced Pang Yi a few days ago and became the commander of the guards.
"Behead all the wardens and wardens who were guarding the prison today!" An understatement caused dozens of lives to be lost in an instant.
I took a breath: "Xia Yan..."
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me..." The jailer and the warden knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy. However, Liang Tao was like a cold machine. He no longer sought Xia Yan's opinion and immediately escorted him down.
I stood up in a hurry, but Xia Yan pressed his shoulder with his hand: "Who told you to get up!"
I looked at the proud and lonely man above me in disbelief. Is he Xia Yan? Why do I feel so strange?
Xia Chengjun was as excited as me, but he was calmer than me. He didn't make any noise, but knelt aside quietly.
Click, click, click… Continuous cutting sounds came from outside, and then Liang Tao came in to report: "Your Majesty, the execution has been completed!"
"Well! Go down!"
After Liang Tao retreated, Xia Yan looked at the three of us condescendingly: "Do you know why these people died?"
I already didn't want to talk to him, so I gently glanced to the side and looked at Xia Huanzhi in the cell. I saw that his face was covered in blood, but there was a sarcastic smile on his lips. He raised his head and said word by word: "Your Majesty, Xiao Shi
Seven is only sixteen years old, why do you need to frighten him like this!" There was silence in the cell, and a layer of motionless air pressure hovered above everyone's heads, making it impossible to breathe smoothly.
Xia Chengjun hurriedly turned around and knelt down: "Kowtow to the king!"
Quiet, very quiet.
