C516 Execution (2/2)

He rushed in and knelt in front of Xiao Letian, ”Prime Minister, please be merciful, I am willing to use all of my efforts to exchange for my grandfather's name. I am also willing to use all of my wealth to beg my grandfather to not die … ”Wuwuwu, Prime Minister, please be merciful!”

The little fatty kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic. Even though this brat was usually lazy, he was truly filial and filial. Xiao Letian sighed as he went to support him, but he couldn't do it no matter what.

”Jin Changsen, you and I have different ideals, but we can't differentiate right from wrong. If you are still in the Middle Ages now, then your decision was correct. It's a pity that you are now the nineteenth century.

”You and I are not wrong. It's just that the environment has changed … You are an old subject of the Ryukyu, and not someone that I, Xiao Letian, have appointed. Your life and death shall be decided by King Shang Tai … ” With that said, Xiao Letian clapped twice.

He and Cai Mao walked out with reddened eyes. Jin Changsen was truly a loyal subject, and the moment he saw Shang Tai, he immediately fell on his knees on the ground in tears.

”Your Majesty, this old subject is useless …”

”Jin Qing …” Please get up... Your Jin family has served our Shang family for hundreds of years. It was us who were too weak. I am the culprit … ”

The monarch also knew that this was the last chance they would meet. They hugged each other while crying bitterly. Xiao Letian could not bear to see this, he gently waved his hands, and a soldier walked over and opened the cell door.

The crying finally stopped at this point. In the end, Shang Tai still had to give an explanation to all the citizens of Ryukyu. He helped Jin Changsen up and said regretfully, ”The military and civilian casualties statistics after the war have already been released … The number of casualties in Ryukyu had reached 70,000. At least half of them are... ”He died after the negotiations …”

Speaking till here, the blood on Jin Changsen's face was suddenly drained, as if he was suddenly surrounded by 40,000 ghosts.

”You deserve to die for your sins! You should not live to see your own death! ” Saying that, he kicked Jin Sanshun who was in the process of kowtowing, away from him, ”Don't cry anymore, in the future, be like a man and live well, don't learn from me! Grandfather's life has proven that the old road has already run out, and you're going to use your life to walk the new path of the Prime Minister.

Jin Changsen cupped his hands towards Shang Tai and said, ”All the crimes will be done by this sinful official. As for the others, they do not carry any great crimes, so Your Majesty, please be cautious … It's fine if you want to end this, but if you want to end this, do it! ”

Shang Tai sneaked a peek at Xiao Letian, and seeing the Prime Minister nod his head slightly, he felt a sense of relief, ”Of course, of course. Someone come! ” As he spoke, a eunuch brought a wooden tray over, upon which was white silk and poisonous wine.

At this time, Jin Changsen suddenly became excited, ”Your majesty, this is wrong, I have sinned so much that it caused the death of tens of thousands of citizens, how can you give me a corpse? Take me to the pier, where the negotiations are going to take place. At noon, I will go there and intimidate everyone with my death. I will vent my anger on everyone with my death … ”

”Brother Jin!” ”Why are you doing this …” Cai Mao's eyes blazed as tears rolled down his cheeks.

Only Xiao Letian understood what Jin Changsen was planning, he knew that Jin Changsen was trying to avoid trouble for his own grandson, and only by dying miserably in front of the masses would he be able to vent the anger in his heart, so that his grandson wouldn't be stuck with him.

Xiao Letian understood what Jin Changsen meant and nodded while sighing, ”I will leave one of the German placings for Jin Sanshun. I'll let him go to Europa to train, so he won't suffer as much as you do …”

Jin Changsen also understood Xiao Letian's promise, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, saying, ”Great kindness cannot be repaid, I can only send you one piece of information … Gong Cheng lives in a rented place in Shanghai, where his most beloved concubine lives. My butler knows that with his help, it won't be difficult to catch this old fellow … ”

That night, the streets were filled with notices asking questions about. On the morning of the next day, the people crowded around the dock, especially the people who had lost their loved ones. They had prepared rocks, rotten eggs, rotten vegetables and other weapons in preparation to humiliate this wrongdoer subject.

When the sky brightened, the prison cart appeared on the main street. Facing the rain of stones and smelly eggs and other miscellaneous items, Jin Changsen instantly lost half of his life. If not for the New Army trying their best to maintain order, Jin Changsen would have been smashed to death by the rocks on the way.

”traitor... is that he's a traitor... ”A traitor who colluded with others from inside out …” Amidst the crowd of angry curses, Jin Changsen was properly punished at noon.

Jin Changsen's death, was an official declaration that the last remaining opposition within the Ryukyu had been completely destroyed. From this moment on, Xiao Letian's rule could only be considered to be well-ordered.
