C668

Jiang Yue sighed and said, "at this time, you don't know what's wrong?"

"Wrong?" Jiang Xu said with a sneer: "my biggest mistake is to tell you this. I'm looking forward to your help. You're so good that you sent me to die! Ha ha, you said that my father would be sad to know what I did, and you would make them angry and climb out of the coffin! "

In the face of Jiang Xu's yelling and scolding, Jiang Yue looks calm, "even if my parents are standing in front of me at the moment, I have a clear conscience!"

Jiang Xu sneered: "of course you say that, because you still need to hold the thigh of the emperor."

"You..." Jiang Yue looked at him heartbroken, how also don't want to understand always obedient sensible brother how can become like this.

Mu Qianxue said indifferently, "do you think Jiang Shangshu is sorry for you? Are you worthy of the imperial court, your majesty and the people of Huaihe River?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Jiang Xu's eyes. "I'm not the only one doing this. I I'll give them all the money. "

There was a low laugh in the room. It was dongfangsu. He sniffed a fresh Chimonanthus and said with a sneer, "for the first time, I heard that a corrupt official had committed a crime and returned the silver. Your concubine, when did the Ministry of punishment change the law? I didn't tell you

Jiang Xu hardened his head and said, "I didn't hurt people, I didn't hurt people, I just took a little silver from the salt merchant. Isn't it enough to return it?"

Dongfang Su sneered and walked up to him, saying: "salt is as expensive as gold in Yangzhou city. How many people can't afford to buy salt and can only eat tasteless food, which makes them weak and swollen? How many people work hard for a mouthful of salt, even sell their children and women? It's really sad that you still have what you say here Ridiculous

Without waiting for Jiang Xu to explain, he added: "and - you've never been a soft hearted person. During your years as an official, your hands must have been stained with blood." Speaking of this, he arranged the collar for Jiang Xu and said with a smile, "by the way, even I and your concubine almost hurt you in your heart!"

Jiang Xu's legs and stomach tremble when he stares at him. Although he says it hard, he is more scared than anyone else in his heart. "What do you want?"

Dongfang Su smiles, "Zhang Jin."

Hearing him call himself, Zhang Jin quickly agreed, "the slave is here."

"Tell me, more than 10 million taels, how many people's skins do you have to strip to gather so much money?"

"This..." Zhang Jin looked down and thought for a while, then broke his fingers and said, "I remember your majesty said that a common people's income is only a few hundred Liang a year, and this ten million Liang will get more than one million people. Even if it is divided into seven or eight years, it will be more than one hundred and two hundred thousand people."

"More than a hundred thousand people, who have been skinned by you for so many years, are you still here and tell me that you have only collected a little money. Jiang Xu, you have such a thick skin. "

"I didn't want to at first, but Everyone else is like this, so... "

"That's why you take it with ease, isn't it?" Dongfang Su sneered and said something that made Jiang Xu's heart crack. "Then you can wait to be executed by lingchi."

"No! No Jiang Xu's legs softened and he couldn't help kneeling on the ground. Lingchi is the most terrible punishment among all the death sentences. It is said that the highly skilled executioner can cut more than 300 knives on the prisoner's body without death, which makes the prisoner unable to survive or die.

"Your grace, your grace!" Jiang Xu kept begging. Seeing that Dongfang Su ignored him, he turned his head and said, "brother, help me, help me!"

Although Jiang Yue hated Jiang Xu for his corruption and lawlessness and forgot his teachings, he was his only brother after all. At the moment, he heard that he was going to suffer the inhuman punishment. He couldn't bear it and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my brother deserves the punishment, but Can you see that I've been diligent all these years, and I'll spare him the punishment of being late? "

Jiang Yue doesn't see Dongfang Suo's answer for a long time. He looks at mu Qianxue pleading. No one knows the position of the lady in your Majesty's heart better than him. As long as she is willing to speak, let alone lingchi, it's impossible to avoid Jiang Xu's death. But this request, he dare not, mu Qianxue will not agree.

Mu Qianxue sighed and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, Jiang Shangshu has been loyal to you for many years. This time, he personally escorted Jiang Xu to stand trial. It's also a surrender, so we can avoid the punishment of being late. The punishment of lingchi is too cruel. If it is spread by people who don't know what to do, it will inevitably damage the name of your Majesty's benevolence. "

See her mouth, the East trace face slightly slow, "if so, beheaded to show public."

"No! I don't want it Jiang Xu shakes his head repeatedly. From the beginning, what he wants is not just to get rid of the punishment of lingchi. He wants to save his life and continue to live.

"Elder brother, please help me to plead with your majesty again. I don't want to die. I can do anything I want!" Jiang Xu begged desperately. Death was too terrible for him. Before today, he didn't even think about it.

Seeing that he was crying, Jiang Yue was also very sad. He choked and said, "I knew today, why did I have to be at the beginning!"

Jiang Xu climbed up to him and cried, "I know my mistake. I really know my mistake. Brother, you can help me for the last time!"Jiang Yue stroked his shoulder slowly, his hands trembled, "second, remember this lesson, reincarnate in the next life, don't repeat it!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xu was scared to death and shook his head desperately, "brother, you can't do this to me, brother You help me

"It's not that big brother doesn't want to save you, it's that you are so wrong." Jiang Yue took back his hands on his shoulders, closed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry!"

His answer made Jiang Xu despair, but he still refused to give up. "You promised your parents, you can't break your promise; and What's more, don't you often say that if you know what's wrong, you can correct it. How did it all change with me? "

"When I die, I will make amends to my parents myself. Second brother... " Jiang Yue looked at him chokingly, "not every step wrong, can turn back; not every mistake has a chance to change."

This sentence, like a basin of cold water pouring down, dashed the last hope in Jiang Xu's heart and cried out in despair: "lies! It's all lies! You... " He hated to stare at Jiang Xu, gnashing his teeth and said: "you wanted me to die from the beginning, so you brought me here. You didn't even give me a chance. Jiang Yue, you are so cruel."

Mu Qianxue shook her head and said coldly, "at this time, you still blame others. It's not worth dying!"

"It's not up to you to decide whether I should die or not." At this point, Jiang Xu suddenly laughs and stares at mu Qianxue with red eyes, "you keep saying that I should die. What are you, the daughter of subjugation? The empress of the West Chu? It's a shame you have the face to live till now! "
