July 14th is not far away. As the old saying goes, on this day, the Bon Festival, the gate of hell will open, and the dead will return to the world again. It is suitable to put out river lanterns, mourn the dead, recall old lovers, and also suitable to kill people.
Extremely evil villain.
After Cheng Dalei was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, there was no interrogation or questioning. He was provided with three meals a day, including wine and meat, and Qingye Buddha, a highly virtuous and respected Arhat monk with a well-written word, helped Cheng Dalei to provide him with spiritual comfort.
The treatment is quite good. The reason is that there is no need to interrogate or ask questions. The word "kill" has already been determined. The key is how to kill. In the end, everyone discusses whether to behead a demon like Cheng Dalei or the like.
That's too merciful, so let's just kill him with 365 knives and chop him alive in front of the world, so that the world can see what happens when you go against the empire.
Imperial City, inside the imperial study.
Emperor Ming sorted out the memorial presented below. This is a piece of information from the Jiangnan area. Jiangnan has only harvested half of the imperial grain this year. It is said that there has been waterlogging due to continuous heavy rain. However, according to the information obtained by Emperor Ming, the weather in Jiangnan has been smooth this year and there has been no disaster.
.
Kneeling at his feet was a woman with long hair, her long hair hanging down like a black waterfall.
Time passed bit by bit, and the tea on Emperor Ming's table had been changed three times, but the woman was still kneeling and silent.
After a long time, Emperor Ming folded the memorial and finally looked at the woman.
"Let's go back."
"Father, please..."
"I know why you are here, so don't say anything. You are not only my daughter, but also the princess of the empire. Save some dignity for yourself."
Because she knew it would be useless to say it, she shouldn't say anything. Li Waner knew that she was the princess of the empire, so no matter how crazy she was, it was within a limited scope and she never said a word about court matters.
But things are different this time.
"Father, Cheng Dalei deserves to die for his crime."
Emperor Ming continued to read the memorial. Since he no longer wanted Li Waner to speak, he would not hear whatever Li Waner said.
"You also said that Cheng Dalei is an outstanding and eclectic talent in the empire. He is far more valuable alive than dead."
The memorial was for the Northwest Army to ask for food. Horse bandits were rampant there, and the Northwest Army needed a sum of food and grass to suppress the bandits.
"Cheng Dalei has made great contributions to the country. He killed the meritorious officials but allowed the treacherous officials to run rampant. I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the people in the world. If things go on like this, the Li family will lose the world."
Emperor Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and the pressure in his eyes seemed to be real.
Li Waner knew that she had offended Emperor Ming, but she would rather have Emperor Ming be furious than have no reaction.
"Why do you have to save him? He is the man you are willing to give birth to children for?"
Emperor Ming did not seem to be angry at what he just said, but instead mentioned something that was not suitable to mention at this moment.
Li Waner was silent and shook her head: "My daughter thinks that he can be regarded as my friend."
"The Emperor's House has no friends."
Emperor Ming closed the memorial.
…
In Chang'an City, it can be said that chickens and dogs are restless these days, but it can also be said that everything is completely silent.
After what happened that day, the city defense army began a large-scale search. All the traffickers, lackeys, and magicians in the city were arrested. For a time, the city was in a state of chaos and the prison was overcrowded. Of course, Cheng Dalei's men had already withdrawn by this time, and the other thieves
But there was no such good luck, and all the people they protected fell into prison.
Manfulou is famous for its roast goose in Chang'an City. It has been passed down for several generations. Everyone says that if you have not eaten Manfulou's roasted goose, you have not been to Chang'an.
Boss Zhou, the owner of Fumanlou, came to the backyard and directed the workers to chop wood and boil water. He walked into the cellar alone.
There were a lot of ingredients stored in the cellar, and there was a smell of rotten food floating in the air. He moved away several wine jars piled in the corners, and then a ladder descending appeared on the ground.
Because the Rong tribe came to Chang'an thirty years ago and burned, killed, and looted the city of Chang'an. People who experienced that incident would build a hiding place at home to prevent the Rong tribe from entering Chang'an again.
The cellar in this cellar was built by the previous owner of Fuman Tower. It had not been used for thirty years, but it was now functioning.
It was like a mouse hole, with seven or eight people gathered inside: Aku, Axi, Xu Shenji, Xu Ling'er, Qin Man, Lin Chong, Feitian Toad...
"Boss Zhou, thank you very much for this matter."
"Don't worry, everyone, brother is kind to me. Now that he is in trouble, how can I not care about it? We people in Chang'an are all loyal." Boss Zhou was impassioned, but what he was thinking in his heart was: Of course, if you hadn't taken my daughter away,
Hiding, I am not so loyal.
"What's going on outside now?"
"I heard from people who came to the restaurant to eat that the imperial court has issued a decree that on July 14th, the eldest brother Lingchi will be executed on Zhuque Street."
On July 14th, there were only a few days left for everyone. Aku waved his hand and asked the boss to leave, and a gentle sigh sounded in the cellar.
What to do...
"Do you have any suggestions?" Aku.
"What else can we do? The only way is to rob the law field." Xu Shenji said: "Call the brothers, let's rob the big boss and get out of Chang'an City."
Ah Ku was in a daze: Chang'an City had 150,000 city defense troops, and the Imperial City had 30,000 Imperial Guards. With just a few hundred Jianghu people trying to rebel against Chang'an City, he must have been awake.
I often heard Cheng Dalei talk about how Commander Xu was so clever and resourceful. As a colleague, Ah Ku still admired him very much. However, today it sounded like that was not the case.
"I'm afraid it won't work to rob the law field." Lin Chong said.
Aku nodded inwardly, Lin Chong was indeed a famous master in Chang'an City, and he understood the pros and cons.
"We have to go to the Heavenly Tribulation Prison!" Lin Chong.
Uh... It seems that I still misunderstood something. Maybe if I eliminate their suggestions, I can get closer to the correct answer.
It has to be said that Ah Ku has vaguely figured out how to use Xu Shenji.
"According to Qin Man's opinion, both the Tribulation Field and the Heaven Tribulation Prison are too risky. They may not be able to rescue the leader by then, but will instead lose the lives of many brothers."
Aku looked at this man he had known for a short time, and he felt a little relieved that in this exam, he still had people who could copy each other.
"Just rush into the palace, rob Emperor Ming, and exchange him for the boss."
Well, one more wrong option has been eliminated, and I am one step closer to the correct answer.
Thinking about it carefully, I am still a little excited.
Aku looked at Axi, who was familiar with him, with expectation on his face. Come on, tell me your answer, don't be shy, use your loudest voice, and tell me another wrong answer.
However, there are more than four options for this question, and it does not mean that the correct answer can be obtained by eliminating three.
Or, there is no correct answer for all the options in this question.
