When Mr. Hu and others saw this, their eyes were about to burst, but they were beyond reach, and they all froze there for a moment. The common people felt the same way, and they were all about to suffocate when they saw this scene.
At this critical moment, the classic line finally rang in everyone’s ears:
"The emperor has a decree, and the sword will save people!"
Everyone looked around and saw more than ten horses galloping towards the execution ground, and that shout was exactly what the horses were shouting in unison.
Mr. Hu was extremely surprised when he saw this, and regardless of whether it was true or not, he shouted: "The emperor has a decree to save people under the sword!"
The official from Panyu County immediately followed suit and shouted: "The emperor has a decree, and the sword will save people!"
Then tens of thousands of people roared and roared. "The emperor has a decree, and the sword will save people!!!"
Xu Benya immediately turned pale and looked at Zhu Liangzu in horror. Lin Zhongmo's eyes flickered and he was not sure how to respond.
Ordinarily, one should stop shouting, but if the person who comes is just a messenger, who should I show myself to? I have insulted Marquis Yongjia for nothing.
Zhu Liangzu would not be like these civil servants, who were afraid of wolves and tigers. He waved his hand heavily to signal his son not to stop.
"Cut!" Zhu Xian shouted sharply, and pierced the executioner's back with the tip of his sword. The executioner endured the pain and said in a muffled voice: "There is an imperial decree not to chop..."
"Bullshit imperial edict!" Zhu Xian stepped forward, kicked the executioner away who was in the way, and raised his sword to kill his fellow Taoist.
However, those knights traveled three thousand miles day and night just to come to save people, how could they let him succeed? There was only a sharp whooshing sound in the air, and a crossbow arrow came and hit him with his sword.
on hands!
"Ah..." Zhu Xian screamed, blushing on the spot, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
"Who? Who dares to hurt my son!" Zhu Liangzu was furious, and his soldiers raised their crossbows and aimed at the more than ten uninvited guests.
The arrow just now was exactly what they shot, and the knight who took the lead was holding a small crossbow in his hand.
"I, I dare!" The one who spoke was another person behind him. When the knights left, everyone saw that it was a burly young man with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes.
Moreover, he wears a black gauze winged crown on his head and a blue robe on his body. On the robe, there is a group of five-clawed dragons on the front and back, and a group of five-clawed dragons on each shoulder. The four golden dragons are dazzling and eye-catching.
Dare to stare!
"Is the emperor here?" The common people saw that the robe on the young man was similar to the dragon robe in the play, and they couldn't help but talk.
"How is it possible? The emperor is an old man, and this person is his son." A knowledgeable person said: "Looking at the dragon embroidered on the chest of his dragon robe, he must be a prince!"
The common people guessed right, it was His Royal Highness the King of Chu who came. For this appearance, before Lao Liu entered the city, he went to the river to wash himself and put on his uniform. Otherwise, he would be covered in dust and two kilograms of dirt.
Who believes that he is the noble prince?
~~
The common people could all recognize him as the prince, let alone the three officials on the execution platform. They had all met His Highness the King of Chu. Such a big prince would never forget their meeting...
Lin Zhongmo and Xu Benya hurriedly got off the stage and knelt down to greet him. Zhu Liangzu's eyebrows twitched a few times, and he forced a smile. He laughed loudly and came down from the stage, cupping his fists and saying, "Oh, what kind of wind brought His Royal Highness the King of Chu to Yangcheng?"
"Haha, of course it's the evil wind blowing from Lingnan." Zhu Zhenpi looked at Zhu Liangzu with a smile and said: "The marquis is so murderous that I can't stop shouting. I have no choice but to hurt Mr. Ling. You
You won’t blame me, will you?”
"Of course not..." Zhu Liangzu's beard trembled, and he forced a smile and said: "The kid is blind, and he didn't recognize His Highness at the first time. He deserves to be shot with an arrow."
"Why, what do you mean by Marquis Yongjia? If it wasn't me who came, no one could stop you and your son from killing Dao Tong?" Zhu Zhen sneered, then suddenly changed his expression and said: "Just now everyone was shouting, 'The emperor has a decree.
You and your son dare to turn a deaf ear to the imperial edict. Are you preparing to rebel?!"
"Your Highness, you have misunderstood," Yongjia Hou felt sweat on his forehead. He had heard about Lao Liu's bad reputation for a long time, and when he saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. No one can resist this big hat. He quickly explained forcefully: "Xie Ye see
When we arrived, some people were inciting the people to revolt. I didn’t expect that Your Highness would come by such a coincidence, and thought someone was deliberately shouting like this to add fuel to the fire."
"I don't dare to turn a deaf ear to the imperial edict because of the courage of the general." He said with a smile and said: "Please declare the edict now, the general will definitely comply with it."
Lao Liu had no time to get the imperial edict, but it was not a problem for him. He said confidently: "What the king brought is an oral edict, which has already been announced. Why, Marquis Yongjia doesn't believe it?"
"..." Zhu Liangzu cursed in his heart. It was indeed the sixth man who was messing around. He could only say with a sorry smile: "Don't dare, don't dare. How dare you question His Highness?"
Only then did Lao Liu look a little brighter and said: "Don't worry, either today or tomorrow, the official edict will be sent to Guangzhou."
As he spoke, he glanced at the three of them and said, "The previous edict didn't say that people must be killed today, right?"
"No, no." Xu Benya quickly shook his head and said, "It's just that we don't dare to neglect it for a moment."
"Then let's get married. Don't kill anyone today. We'll wait until the edict arrives." Lao Liu then smiled and said, "You guys can't wait all night, right?"
"No, no, no." Fan Tai Zeng Tai naturally shook his head.
Although Zhu Liangzu did not complain in every possible way, his arms could not hold his thighs, so he had to force a smile and said: "Then I will listen to your highness and escort the prisoner back to the Jiansi prison first."
"No need, he belongs to me tonight." Lao Liu shook his head and said: "Look at him half-dead. If he dies at night, who among you can afford it? I am more powerful and able to withstand things...
…”
"Your Highness, this is against the rules..." Xu Benya said softly under Zhu Liangzu's eyes.
"What I say is the rule!" But I heard Lao Liuman saying domineeringly: "If you feel that you have violated any of the king's laws, I will change it."
"..." Xu Benya said in her heart, damn, how can this be a theory?
"Okay, Xu Jiantai, don't argue anymore, just listen to His Highness." Zhu Liangzu looked at Lao Liu with a smile and said to himself, you are so cruel.
Xu Benya is about to cry but has no tears. Do I want to fight? I can’t wait to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. I still fight...
Lin Zhongmo also invited His Highness to stay at the Fantai Yamen to help him cleanse himself of the troubles. He thought that Lao Liu would refuse, but in the end he agreed.
Lin Zhongmo had no choice but to quickly order people to go back, clear out the yard where he lived, make room for His Highness, and quickly prepare the dinner.
Lao Liu turned his head again, clasped his fists to the people of Yangcheng and said: "Hello everyone, I am the King of Chu. On the order of my father, I have come to retry the case in Daozhi County. Can you guys talk about it?"
