Chapter 221 You have to die if the king wants the minister to die

Xiong Cang was slapped by his old mother and suddenly woke up a little. When he looked around, his family, maids and servants knelt on the ground and cried. Before he could understand, he heard Uncle Wu say that he was plotting to rebel against the country, and the emperor had issued an order to be executed.

Xiong Cang just lost his son, but his enemy was not killed. Now he has been guilty of sin. He is in a state of grief and anger, "This is a false accusation, I want to see the emperor."

Uncle Wu sneered: "You have the final say whether it is a false accusation. The emperor has to decide. Now I am here to arrest you according to the emperor's will. Want to see the emperor? Let's go to the Heavenly Prison first."

"Tie these people." He shouted, and later people held the ropes that had been prepared long ago, and tied them one by one into strings from the maid.

Xiong Cang calmed down at this time, with a calm face and said nothing, allowing himself to be trapped by the tied up.

He knew clearly what the little emperor was thinking. He had known for a long time that Zhuang Yan wanted to get rid of him, but he had never had the ability.

Now that he has died his son, the little emperor may think that the opportunity has come. Humph, naive, thinking that finding an excuse to justify him can defeat him? What can an emperor without real power do to him? The reason why Xiong Cang dares to be arrogant is that he clearly does not take the little emperor seriously.

"Hmph, do you really think I, Xiong Cang, fell down so easily?" He snorted coldly. Zhuang Yan wanted to cut the mess quickly, but tomorrow, the charge would be defeated. Half of the ministers in the court would stand up and plead for him. How could the little emperor have the ability to fight against half of the court?

He just needs to wait quietly for tomorrow, and everything will become a joke for the little emperor.

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "I don't want to die." Then a servant pushed away the soldiers next to him and ran towards the gate with no life.

Xiong Cang yelled angrily: "Bastard, stop here."

Uncle Wu took the bow and arrow from the person next to him, and with a bent bow and arrow, the long arrow hit the escaped man's vest. With a plop, the escaped servant fell to the ground, pulled it a few times and was exhausted.

"Escape quickly. Escape is death, and not escaping is death. If you don't escaping, you will die. If you escape together, you will always be alive." Someone shouted in the crowd.

All the servants were stunned. Yes, the gate was right in front of them. Anyway, escaping would be dead, and not escaping would be dead, and escaping would be dead. There is still a possibility of escaping.

The crowd exploded in an instant, and everyone pushed me into chaos and flew towards the door.

Uncle Wu shouted: "All those who try to escape, kill them without any hesitation."

The soldiers drew out their weapons and chased after them. Xiong Cang knew it was not good. It seemed that the little emperor knew that he could not stand tomorrow and everyone wanted to kill him. In any case, he had to live tomorrow and he had to live.

"Mother, please untie your son." Xiong Cang was tied up and was unable to move, so he jumped to his old mother.

The old lady was also frightened by the current situation and was rushing to untire Xiong Cang. However, before she could untire, a bright sword stabbed towards her.

Xiong Cang was so scared that he rolled onto the ground and narrowly avoided it. The old lady also reacted and stopped him in the future and said angrily: "If you want to kill me, kill me."

Xiong Cang had already stood up and ran away in a panic. He just stopped after running a few steps, looking at the person holding the sword in front of him in horror.

"I am a third-rank official, don't kill me." Xiong Cang shouted in horror.

The long sword was shining with a cold light, and the tip of the sword was aimed at Xiong Cang. Suddenly, the cold light flashed, as fast as lightning.

Xiong Cang felt a flash in front of his eyes, and felt a little cold on his neck. He was stunned for a moment before he realized the stinging pain. He reached out and touched it, and he was bleeding. Suddenly, with a puff, a blood mark on his neck was obvious, and a trace of blood was shot out. After a moment, it turned into a blood column like a fountain.

Xiong Cang couldn't believe it and covered his neck desperately, but he just struggled unwillingly before his death. He knelt down with a thud, looking at the long sword that was still dripping with blood in front of him with his blood-red eyes.

The sword drew a mark on the ground and soon drowned in the chaotic crowd.

The next morning, the court was in trouble. First, Xiong Cang colluded with a foreign country to attempt to treason, then Xiong Cang led his servants to resist and escape. He was killed during the escape. All three generations of relatives of the Xiong family were imprisoned.

Everything was just a few words, but the truth was terrifying. In just midnight, a third-rank minister disappeared, which was so fast that it caught people off guard.

The ministers had different thoughts, and everyone knew that it was too strange, but they had nothing to say. Uncle Wu found documents from Xiong Cang who colluded with foreign lands from Xiong Mansion, and even caught the foreign lands. The evidence was conclusive.

Xiong Cang is already dead, and the situation is really hopeless. Even if he is really unjustly killed, who would stand up and speak for a dead person at this time? So after Uncle Wu finished submitting the report, Zhuang Yan issued an order.

All the blood relatives of the Xiong family were filled with the border, and all the females were demoted to slaves, and all the servants were sold. After a series of decrees, no one objected.

The position of Zhan Shi was vacant, and Zhuang Yan took advantage of the situation to promote Shao Zhan Shi Xie Jun to third-rank Zhan Shi.

In two years, Xie Jun was promoted from the sixth-rank prefect to the young Zhan Shi, and now he has been promoted to Zhan Shi, just in his thirties. Such an official career is so smooth that it is enviable.

Things were one after another, and Zhuang Yan's imperial edicts were issued one by one, and the court was silent, and everyone had their own thoughts. The emperor's attack on Xiong Cang was undoubtedly a warning to them. Today is Xiong Cang, who can tell that it will not be their turn?

While such thunderous methods caught them off guard, they were even more shocked. The person sitting on the dragon throne was no longer the young and ignorant little emperor who was merciless.

Today's morning court was particularly long. After the Silijian shouted "retreat the court", everyone was still unconscious.

Liao Weizhang still had a memorial in his arms. He hesitated not to know whether to leave or stay, but the eunuch of the eunuch stopped him first.

Following the eunuch to the side hall, Zhuang Yan was waiting in the hall, and Liao Weizhang respectfully stepped forward to salute.

"What happened last night?" Zhuang Yan asked with a calm face.

In the court, Liao Weizhang only said that someone broke into Jingzhao Mansion last night, and the two living people who left behind admitted that they were sent by Xiong Cang to kill Yao Si.

Although Liao Weizhang only told Yao Si to be rescued in one sentence, he did not say whether he had saved him or someone else. Zhuang Yan knew that he had not said anything.

Liao Weizhang immediately knelt down and apologized: "The emperor atones for his sins, but I did not intend to conceal it, but----" He couldn't tell the truth in the court. All of this was designed by the emperor in advance, and the emperor knew better than him.

"Weichen set up an ambush in the prison cell as ordered by the emperor, but unexpectedly, there were two groups of people, one to kill and the other to save. Weichen caught the people sent by Xiong Cang, but let the other escape, they----"

"Did they rob people?" Zhuang Yan's face became more and more ugly.

Liao Weizhang said in panic: "Weichen deserves to die. They are all from the world, with rich experience and strong martial arts skills. Weichen has damaged more than 20 people, but we still let them escape. Yao Si was also taken away. Weichen dereliction of duty and asked the emperor to sue him."

Zhuang Yan was silent for a long time before asking, "Who kidnapped the person?"

Liao Weizhang let out a light sigh, "Yes------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Yi march, the biggest enemy of the imperial court, has risen rapidly for more than ten years. Now their lords have even become kings in Weizhou, and their purpose is to seize the imperial power.

Zhuang Yan's eyes were dark, like the tranquility before the storm, calm but terrifying.
