V2.Chapter 682

With Tang Yin's order, six bodyguards with big arms and round waist brought in a big guillotine from outside the square. The big guillotine must be as long as one person and as high as half a person. The knife is a steel knife, and even the base is made of bronze, weighing up to 300 or 400 kilograms.

When it was put to the place, there was a dull sound, and even the dust in the gap of the floor tile was shaken up.

Seeing this big chopper, everyone present felt the cool wind on the back of the spine and the numbness of the scalp. Sitting on the mat, their bodies were sudden and trembling like pins and needles.

Shangguan Yuanji frowned secretly. The king didn't come to invite everyone to a drink party tonight. It looks more like killing chickens and monkeys and knocking on mountains and shaking tigers. It's just strange that the king didn't disclose a little bit about such a big thing before?

Thinking, he looked at Qiu Zhen opposite and thought that the king might not have discussed it with himself. He should have discussed it with Qiu Zhen. As a result, when he looked at Qiu Zhen, he found that the latter was also dazed and looked at himself with questioning eyes.

Ah? Even Qiu Zhen didn't know it! Shangguan Yuanji couldn't help taking a breath and stayed for a while before subconsciously looking at Tang Yin again.

At this time, Zhao Yuting was paralyzed by fear on the spot. He knelt on the ground, his nose and tears flowed down together, walked with his knees as his feet, knelt down and climbed in front of Tang Yin, and begged in a trembling voice: "spare your life, your majesty, spare your life."

"You said, has the king wronged you?" Tang Yin looked down at Zhao Yuting, who was kneeling in front of her. Her face was as heavy as water, and her eyes glittered with a cold and frightening fierce light.

"No! The king has not wronged the minister. The minister is wrong, and the micro minister knows that he is wrong. The king sees that the micro minister has followed the king for many years without credit and hard work. Spare me this time!"

Zhao Yuting burst into tears and kowtowed to the ground as he spoke. In an instant, the skin and flesh of his forehead were broken and blood flowed all over his face.

He suddenly remembered something, his body shook, looked up and said in a hurry: "king, Weichen is willing to return home, Weichen doesn't want the reward of the king..."

"It's late!" Tang Yin's eyes darkened, slowly squatted down, looked at Zhao Yuting with a gray face and sweating like rain, and said faintly, "just now, I have given you a chance, but you don't know how to cherish it. No wonder I don't talk about my old friendship and turn my face ruthlessly!" With that, he patted Zhao Yuting on the shoulder, then stood up, walked back to the throne, and said without looking back: "drag it down, cut it!"

"Your Majesty... Your majesty, I know I'm wrong. Forgive me, your majesty... Qiu Xiang... Qiu Xiang saves his subordinates..."

Zhao Yuting cried for help and looked at Qiu Zhen eagerly, hoping that he could speak well for himself and plead with the king.

But how can Qiu Zhen save him? Not to mention the criminal evidence in the papers taken out by the king, the mere fact that he withheld the tribute without permission is the capital crime of copying and beheading all over the door.

Qiu Zhen hung his head and said nothing. The people present were even afraid to breathe. Bean sized beads of sweat trickled down their foreheads.

In full view of the public, Zhao Yuting was dragged close to the guillotine by two bodyguards, and then the executioner came forward and pressed his head under the guillotine. Another tall executioner grabbed the handle and pulled it down fiercely. With a click, Zhao Yuting's heartrending cry stopped abruptly, and his big head rolled from the front of the guillotine to the ground and rolled out for a long time.

"Ah?" Seeing Zhao Yuting's head cut off by a guillotine, the sound of breathing in at the scene became one, and the cold sweat of the people flowed more. Many timid people were so scared that they couldn't sit stably, and their bodies shook from side to side.

After Zhao Yuting was cut, Tang Yincai slowly turned back to his body, with an expressionless face and said coldly, "it's not a pity to die!" As he spoke, he looked at the people on the left and right, "Brothers, if you are in trouble and you are short of anything at home, just ask me. I am not a miser. I will give you what I can give you. However, if you are corrupt and pervert the law, the people will not scold you, but the court. Even if I want to protect you, I can't protect you. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The king's golden words, ministers and others will abide by the teachings, and they will learn from them in the future!" Shen Zhichen quickly bowed his hands and said his position.

Tang Yin turned his head and looked at Shen Zhichen. The look in his eyes became darker. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He asked, "Zhichen, you... Don't have anything to say to me?"

Shen Zhichen blinked, shook his head again and said, "Wei Chen doesn't understand what the king means?"

Tang Yin said, "I'm asking you if you have anything else to say to me."

Shen Zhichen turned her eyes and hurriedly said, "don't worry, your majesty. I'm loyal to your majesty and have no second thoughts..."

"That's not what I want to hear..." Tang Yin sighed in a low voice.

His voice was too low. Shen Zhichen sat far away and didn't hear what he said. However, Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, who were right next to Tang Yin, could hear them clearly. They shook and screamed bad!

Qiu Zhen said, "big... King, who is this slander..." Shen Zhichen was surprised, swallowed his saliva and stammered.

finished! Zhichen is over! Qiu Zhen was beside him. His heart was in a ball. His fist was clenched and loosened. At this time, he rushed to him and slapped him hard. He clearly reminded him that he had to covet the position of the head of the county?

"Slander is slander. Is this king so ignorant and ignorant in your heart? If there is no real evidence, will this King say so?"

Tang Yin closed his eyes and shouted, "Cai GUI, take out the hidden account of Hedong grain storage and give it to our Lord Shen!"

"Yes! King!" Cai GUI slowly drew out an account book from his sleeve, then got up and walked to Shen Zhichen, handed it to him, and said, "Lord Shen, I have carefully checked this account book by the political participation hall. If it is confirmed to be true, please have a look!"

Shen Zhichen took the account book with trembling hands. After opening it, he only looked at it and knew it was true. It was indeed the secret account of Hedong grain storage. Yes, but he had always hidden it well. Even his parents didn't know where to hide it. How could it fall into the hands of the political participation hall?

"Lord Shen, what else do you have to say now?" Tang Yin still closed his eyes and asked slowly.

"King!" Qiu Zhen stood up, quickly walked around the table, knelt down in front of Tang Yin and said, "Zhichen is just confused for a moment. The king will spare him this time for his past contributions!"

As Qiu Zhen stood up to intercede, generals and generals such as Xiao MuQing, Peng haochu, Ziying, Shangguan yuanrang and so on lined up and knelt down to intercede.

Shen Zhichen is a veteran in the army. He is one of the first people to follow Tang Yin.

At the beginning, Tang Yin was just the head of Tianyuan county. He had fought South and North with Tang Yin. At that time, it was precisely the most difficult period. I don't know how many times he was in a desperate situation, how many times he escaped from death, and how many times he set up miracles.

Looking at the crowd kneeling in front of him, Tang Yin lowered his head and remained speechless for a long time.

When he came here, he had made up his mind. No matter who, as long as he took bribes and perverted the law and didn't take the initiative to abdicate, he would be severely punished. Now it's Shen Zhichen's turn. His original determination has disappeared and he really can't do it.

"This is not in the army, let alone in the enemy's territory. Even if you make a big mistake, I can forgive you. This is governing the country. The law is not strict. Who will abide by the law in the future? Once this precedent is set, how do you ask me to punish others?"

Tang Yin murmured and put the wooden boxes under the table one by one on the table. He pulled off the covers of the wooden boxes one by one and grabbed a lot of paper filled with handwriting from the inside, He said, "look! These criminal evidences are countless, and the officials involved are unknown to be hundreds or thousands. If Zhichen is let go today, what will these people do? What will people do if someone takes bribes and perverts the law in the future?"

Looking at the wooden boxes on Tang Yin's desk, everyone present was dumbfounded. No one was sure whether his criminal evidence was also among them.

At this time, Shen Zhichen flopped and knelt on the ground, his eyes turned red, his tears fell down, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "it is the greatest blessing of Wei Chen to follow the king in his life. Wei Chen has long made an oath and is loyal to the king in his life. This time, Wei Chen made a big mistake, but he will never make it difficult for the king!"

While talking, he stood up, looked around and said loudly, "gentlemen and generals, please take me as a mirror!" While talking, he drew his sword back from his waist, crossed his neck and rowed down with all his strength.

Hiss!

The cold light flashed and the blood light sprayed. The scarlet blood formed a blood mist in the air, and Shen Zhichen's body fell straight down with it.

"Zhi Chen!" Qiu Zhen and others in front realized that it was bad and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Seeing Shen Zhichen pull out his sword and commit suicide, Tang Yin suddenly stood up and stared at the fallen body for a long time. He slowly sat back. At the same time, tears burst out and whispered, "why don't you beg for mercy? By the way, there has never been a person afraid of death among my brothers..."
