The red wall of the Palace felt nothing and knew neither cold nor warmth It only silently and indifferently welcomed the wash of the rainwater Rain wet the row darker and dimmer It was as if it was about to squeeze out traces of blood

During these years, a dazzling Sir Fan junior had appeared in the Overwatch Council and slightly lightened the Overwatch Council's dark aura He had not been in charge of Council affairs for very long It was not enough to change the people's deep-rooted impressions of the Overwatch Council
There were not e The Qing people's worshi+p and reverence toward Fan Xian were e their perception of the Overwatch Council For the codou, the Overwatch Council perhaps had a touch more hus toward the square and sinister building On the contrary, they unconsciously felt a fear The continuation of this fear beca leader of the darkness, Chen Pingping, was about to die in front of thelimmer of faint excitement Perhaps this was a natural emotion as commoners To be able to have the chance in their lives to see a figure who only existed in legends die wretchedly in front of the futures, had perhaps always been a for exao, at the entrance to the salt market, the heads of the officials of the Board of Rites had been chopped down and rolled around on the execution field They had also als This one scene had filled countless boring dou workers and helped them down countless cups of liquor
Another exao It was also at the entrance of the salt enerals who had participated in the rebellion had their heads chopped off Blood dyed half the street red Even after a number of days, the stench of blood still seeped out And, there was the Co When he had died by a thousand cuts, his cries had been incredibly wretched
During these three years, Zhang Deqing's death had enriched the lives of the Jingdou people acco that had happened in Jingdou in recent years could co to happen now The person was Director Chen, who everyone kneas the Eone rabid and was about to be put down
The place of the execution was not in front of the salt market and or execution field in front of the Ministry of Justice Instead, it was in front of the Royal Palace on the square Excitedly, the people thought to thedom, the only official to have been openly executed in front of the Royal Palace was probably the person now Anger rose involuntarily in their hearts They wondered what great and treasonous cri must have committed for hiht of Sir Fan junior Everyone watching the execution unconsciously forgot about hiht Sir Fan junior had any connection to this old dog They were only common people of the marketplace They had no idea of the connections between the people who governed this land Even if there were soht in the other direction The Eiven the Overwatch Council to Sir Fan junior and was about to kill the previous Director It was probably to help Sir Fan junior clean out the opposition and evil in the Overwatch Council?
Countless coed into the square in front of the palace The tiny execution field was enveloped by countless complicated emotions like nervousness, indifference, excitement, and unrooted sorrow The idou Govern order forcefully kept these millions of people outside the boundaries in all directions to ensure quiet on the execution field
The people of the Qing Kingdom could not be bla what they could know, giving up what they could not know, enjoying what they could enjoy, and angry about what they were allowed to be angry over The Eardless of whether this official deserved such punishic that if the Emperor wanted an official to die, the official had to die
The densely packed croere like an ocean, undulating on the square in front of the Royal Palace Near the palace gates, space had been cleared out A very sie had been built It was the so-called execution field Enveloped by the rand Royal Palace, the execution field looked like a pitiful lone shop It was as if it could be subed at any moment under the human tide or crash into the immobile shores of the Royal Palace and be s the eroup of people walked out silently and sternly They passed the hundred or so silent Qing officials with their heads bowed on their side of the path They cae in front of the curious and anxious gazes of the Jingdou people
A stretcher was carried out of the prison carriage On the stretcher was an old man as unconscious It was uncertain if he was still alive He Zongwei raised his head and glanced at the top of the palace walls The corners of his eyes twitched slightly He then gently waved his hand The stretcher was lifted onto the stage
Finally seeing the official as to be punished, the front row of coendary renegade of the darkness, they i old man and wondered if he was already dead
Three eunuchs walked out of the black tunnel of the palace gates On the tray held by the eunuch to the left were the criht, the eunuch held up high an incense table On it was the E to death
The eunuch with an indifferent expression in the center was Eunuch Yao He was also not e was prepared on the wooden stage Chen Pingping's seely lifeless and weak body was placed on the rain-ooden boards Eunuch Yao crouched down by his side With the help of the imperial doctor, he fed him a pill and carefully poured the soup in the vase between the old man's dry lips
After an indeter slowly came to He had lost a lot of blood His life force was at an end His face was very pale, and his eyes were distant and without spirit He gazed at Eunuch Yao by his side and closed his dry lips In a raspy voice, he slowly said, ”A thousand-year-old ginseng wasted”
Eunuch Yao's body tre He only glanced at the old man with a weak smile and retreated to the side with a bow
At the yun, standing on the execution field to the left of He Zongwei, also treain and lowered his head helplessly Earlier, he had swept his eyes across to know that the execution field was tightly guarded Putting aside the densely packed imperial soldiers on all sides or the internal aces scattered about, those aces wearing heyun that no one could change anything
Last night in the prison of the Overwatch Council, there were four aces wearing straw hats Both Yan Bingyun and He Zongwei found it a little strange, but they knehere these mysterious aces had come fro was bathed in a clear light, Yan Bingyun's sharp eyes had noticed that under the straw hats, these aces did not have any hair
It looked like they were Ascetic Monks of the Qing Te after the Great Priest of the Qing Te on the Southern border, he had diedTemple The Second Priest, Great Master San shi+, had turned to the Junshang Conference In the end, he had died wretchedly in a rain of arrows outside Jingdou after being silenced by the Eldest Princess
