Chapter 11： The difference between life and death

Li Wuzhi threw eggs, and the others threw eggs and vegetables together, and even threw stones. Fortunately, soldiers stopped these crazy people now.

Xiao Yao was finally brought to the execution ground. Xuanyuan Jinxing and Zhang Liying were already sitting on the temporary high platform. There were guards on the left and right sides, and the Guardsmen surrounded the execution ground. It seemed that the guard was very strict. The official is Zhang Hongwei, the father of Zhang Liying, the left minister.

Xiao Yao was taken to the place closest to the Xiao family.

"Report to the emperor, it's already a quarter of noon, will the execution begin?" Zhang Ping, the leader of the Guards, reported to the emperor that Zhang Ping was Zhang Hongwei's third son and Zhang Liying's father. He replaced Xiao Chengguang's third son, Xiao Yisen, in the Guards. .

"Well, Zhang Aiqing, let Xiao Yao say goodbye to Xiao Chengguang and the others. Let's go!" Xuanyuan Jinxing said.

"Yes!"

Xiao Yao was quickly taken to Xiao Chengguang in the execution ground. Xiao Yao knelt down, but outsiders could not see the fear in Xiao Chengguang's eyes. They wanted to help Xiao Yao up, but were stopped by Xiao Yao's eyes.

"Father and mother, I'm sorry, I hurt you all today. If I hadn't asked you to help Xuanyuan Jin rise to the throne, the Xiao family would have ended up like this too. It's me and I'm unfilial!" Xiao Yao hugged his father and mother, Said sadly, the sound was not loud but just enough for Zhang Hongwei on the stage of the prison to hear. Zhang Hongwei and Xiao Chengguang have been fighting since they entered the imperial court, and they are political enemies. Now Xiao Chengguang's family has been hacked all over the place, and now I don't know how happy I am, but now I still pretend to be serious, but my ears are pricked up to listen to Xiao Yao and the others.

"I don't blame you, Yao'er, it's our Xiao family's excessive power that makes the royal family jealous. However, Xiao Chengguang, as a Nanyang native, is worthy of the sky and the earth, and even more worthy of the people of Nanyang. If I die, the minister has to die, but now the whole family of Xiao is going to die. How unfair is God!" Xiao Chengguang held Xiao Yao in shackles and sighed and cried bitterly.

Xiao Chengguang's words can be heard by those who are close to him, the common people can hear it, and so can the emperor and empress Zhang Hongwei.

In the hearts of the common people, saying these words as a rebel now will make oneself suspect. However, these words are like throwing a small stone in a big lake. Although they are not shocked by the stormy waves, they have also left behind in the lake. Small ripples.

Listening to the ears of Emperor Xuanyuan Jinxing, Xiao Chengguang's words have to instigate the people before he dies, and leave a name for himself, which makes him face as an emperor. Conversely, it does not mean that he wronged the Xiao family, but Xuanyuan. As the monarch of a country, Jin Xing cannot tolerate the existence of the Xiao family. In fact, despite this, he must not let the people know that in the eyes of the people, the Xiao family can only be a rebel.

He couldn't stop himself, so he gestured to Eunuch Li with his eyes, and wanted him to stop the Xiao family and calm Xiao Chengguang's words.

However, this time Eunuch Li turned a blind eye to the emperor's eyes.

But the queen Zhang Liying said to Xiao Chengguang cheerfully. She said in her heart, your Xiao family is worthy of the world and no one else. Now I am the queen, and your daughter is a sinner. I want your Xiao family to live or die. .

And the most happy is Zhang Hongwei. His daughter is the queen, and soon he will have a grandson. What he most wants to see now is the destruction of Xuanyuan Jinxing's reputation. The more thoroughly it is destroyed, the better. He will have an excuse to force him to abdicate, and then his grandson will ascend to the throne. His grandson is still young, so he is not the only one who is in charge of acting as a grandfather. , What's the difference between this and being an emperor? Thinking of this, his mouth didn't know where to go, and he was cheerful, as if he saw the throne of the dragon chair waving to him.

Thoughts on the stage were discussed, and the stage was still life and death, and the scene of pain and tears.

"Yes, I don't blame you, Yaoer. My precious daughter!" Xiao Yao's mother, Bai Xuelian, also hugged Xiao Yao and cried.

"Yao'er, it's not your fault, don't be sad. The Xiao family is worthy of the heaven and earth, let alone the people of the Nanyang Dynasty. We are wronged, but we are innocent and deserve to die!" Xiao Yao's eldest brother, Xiao Yimu, said through Xiao Chengguang. .

He has been a taciturn person since he was a child. He is not very good at speaking. When he grew up, he became a general with his own abilities. Now, he is still coaxing Xiao Yao in the same way he used to coax Xiao Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao cried even louder when he heard his words.

"Yao'er, don't be sad, don't be sad, Yao'er, don't cry, you cry, I, I, I want to cry too, woo... It's not your fault!" Xiao Yao's second brother Xiao Chenglin's voice was a little choked.

He is the one who loves his sister the most. Since he was a child, because of her specialness, he is determined to support her until she grows old and give her the best life, so he became a businessman. He even spared no effort to develop his business, determined to become the number one businessman in Nanyang Kingdom, and help his sister help Xuanyuan Jinxing ascend to the throne. Although he did not become the first merchant, he also became the second merchant of Nanyang Kingdom, only behind the first merchant of Nanyang Kingdom, Lord Luochen, and Lord Luochen was not only the number one merchant of Nanyang Kingdom, but also the number one merchant of Longteng Continent. , Even so, he has regrets, and he has never seen Young Master Luochen.

"Sister, don't cry, I don't blame you, the blame is that we don't know people well, we thought he would be a magnanimous and wise man, but he turned out to be a narrow-minded white-eyed wolf. Because our Xiao family is strong. Da, because of your talent, we cannot accommodate our Xiao family. We…”

Xiao Yao's third brother, Xiao Chengsen, couldn't continue, he paused, and continued to speak with red eyes.

"The people of our Xiao family are not afraid of death, let us go to the battlefield to protect our family and the country. The people of the Xiao family will definitely say nothing, sacrifice their lives for the country, and die willingly, but now let our Xiao family press the unwarranted treason. How could he not be reconciled to being executed for his crimes? How could Xuanyuan Jinxing be like this? After our Xiao family did our best to help him rise to power, we couldn't wait to deal with the Xiao family. At such a young age, my parents could not be able to do this in their later years. I'm not reconciled to a good death, sister!"

The third brother has a straightforward personality. Although he is usually suave, courteous, and merciful, he relied on his outstanding martial arts to enter the palace and become the leader of the Imperial Guard.

When Zhang Hongwei heard these rebellious words, his face became even more joyful, thinking to himself, if you are going to die, I want you to die without a burial place. When the people heard these words, they must have doubts. And Xuanyuan Jinxing, the emperor, couldn't remove the thorn in his heart when he heard these words.
