LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 100 Killed with a stick in public
Ji Yucang's intention to train three consorts and even give them official positions soon reached the ears of the Queen Mother.
Because both Princess Jiahe and Princess Jiayu felt uneasy, they went to the palace to complain.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was furious: "What does he want to do if he makes a fool of himself every day? The rule left by our ancestors is that a consort cannot be an official. He is going against the rules of our ancestors everywhere!"
"Mother, he just wants to make it difficult for us all." Princess Jiahe said angrily, "Shen Huaishu was always dissatisfied with me. He was lukewarm every time he saw me. Once he had the support of the regent, he Will you still take me seriously?"
The Queen Mother looked unhappy: "The Aijia have warned you more than once before, asking you to coax the prince-in-law and not to beat or scold harshly all the time. Did you listen? If you are beaten and scolded all day long, will you? Do you hate him? Do you want him to die immediately?"
Jiahe's face turned red: "But I am a princess, he should listen to me. I hit him not because he always ignores me. If he makes me happy, will I still hit him?"
Compared to Princess Jiahe who was furious, Princess Jiayu was the most uneasy at this moment. She gave the medicine to Gu Yanran last night, and today the regent targeted the two consorts... If she said this was a coincidence, she would not believe it even to death.
Gu Yanran must have made a mistake and summoned her out.
That loser who fails to accomplish anything but fails more than he wants!
"Jiayu." The Queen Mother's gaze fell on her face, her eyes gloomy, "What on earth is going on?"
Jiayu's face turned pale: "My father guessed that maybe... maybe Gu Yanran was exposed."
"What a waste!" The Queen Mother angrily snapped at several cases, "If she can't handle even the smallest things, what else can she do?"
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, it's not good!" A eunuch hurried in, "The Regent wants to kill Young Master Qin."
The Queen Mother stood up suddenly: "What's going on?"
"The Ministry of Punishment presented the confessions of Mr. Qin and the bandits. They said that the evidence was conclusive. The regent had just sentenced Mr. Qin to death, and... and killed him with a stick outside Fengtian Gate..."
boom!
The Queen Mother fell down on the chair, her face turned pale.
"The Queen Mother!" Another eunuch ran in in panic, "The eldest princess of Pingyao is here! She said... She said that the Queen Mother and the two princesses would be invited to Fengtianmen... to watch the execution..."
The Queen Mother was trembling with anger: "The Regent is so cruel and ruthless! Aijia... Aijia..."
Her vision suddenly turned black, and the Queen Mother almost fainted from anger.
"Be careful, Queen Mother." Mammy quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands.
"Mother, I won't go!" Princess Jiahe was so frightened that she backed away. "The Regent must have done it on purpose. I won't go! Beat me to death for not going!"
"The Regent has an order to invite the Queen Mother and the two princesses to go to Fengtianmen to observe the execution." Princess Pingyao walked in wearing a cloak, her voice was cold and commanding, "There is no room for rejection."
After saying that, he turned around and ordered: "Come, please ask the Queen Mother to go out."
As soon as the words fell, nearly twenty guards came in from outside, standing in two rows on the left and right in a well-trained manner, with respectful postures but a toughness that could not be refused.
The Queen Mother's face was green and white, and she looked at Princess Pingyao with a look that made her want to eat her alive: "Pingyao, you are so presumptuous!"
"I dare not." Princess Pingyao leaned forward calmly, "I just like the feeling of having power and being able to do whatever I want more and more. Isn't this also the reason why the Queen Mother has been pursuing power?"
Holding great power, life and death can be taken away from you.
Tsk.
Not to mention men like it, women also like it. It's a pity that there are very few women in this world who can truly control the power of life and death.
"Pingyao, how dare you talk to your mother like this?" Princess Jiahe pointed at her, "Don't forget that I am the legitimate princess, you -"
Snapped!
The sharp whip struck her wanton hand, causing Princess Jiahe to hold her hands in pain and scream: "Ah!"
"Pingyao, what are you doing?" The Queen Mother was furious, "You are so presumptuous!"
The eldest princess of Pingyao swung her whip slowly, with a cold and ruthless look in her eyes: "I hate it when people point their fingers at me. There are no rules."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out: "If the Queen Mother doesn't want to be escorted out, please cooperate and follow me to Fengtianmen. Otherwise, you will lose all your dignity later. Don't say that I didn't save face for the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost went crazy.
The regent had evil intentions and actually allowed her to witness her nephew being killed with a stick. The eldest princess of Pingyao helped her do evil. She thought she could do whatever she wanted with the power of the regent?
They are dreaming!
No matter how strong the anger burned in her heart, no matter how much she hated the regent's actions, she could not change the situation where she had to go to Fengtianmen to watch the execution. She had to go, and she had to go if she didn't.
There was a crowd of people standing outside Fengtian Gate.
After the next court, before the regent went to the Qinzheng Hall, he ordered the civil and military officials of the court to wait outside Fengtian Gate. After a while, a dying man was escorted over.
Everyone was shocked.
Uncle Qin's eyes suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously rushed over: "Inkstone!"
One of the chamberlains raised his voice and spoke: "The Regent has an order. Qin Yanshu, the legitimate son of the Qin family, instigated bandits to frame the innocence of the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Palace, and killed more than ten people including the maids and guards of the Duke's Palace. The act was extremely abominable. There are witnesses and confessions, and the crime cannot be pardoned!" The regent ordered Qin Yan to be killed with a book stick, and no one was allowed to plead for mercy. The remaining bandits behaved cruelly and beheaded him outside the gate three days later. "
The ministers were all shocked.
The Imperial Guards lined up on the left and right sides, stopping Uncle Qin who came forward, and also stopped the Queen Mother of Qin who was coming in a hurry.
"Inkstone! Inkstone!" The Queen Mother quickly approached, but was blocked by the spear in the hand of the imperial guard.
The Queen Mother was furious: "Get away from the Ai family! Don't let go of the inkstone yet!"
The chamberlain stood aside and passed the order: "The regent has an order to kill Qin Yanshu with a stick. It will be carried out immediately!"
Qin Yanshu's complexion was pale and haggard. He had been tortured in prison for several days until he almost lost his appearance. At this time, he was being held by his shoulders and kneeling. He had no power to resist. He just kept muttering: "I want to see you." Ning'er, Ning'er, I know I was wrong..."
"Inkstone!" Uncle Qin Guo shouted in despair, "What other last words do you have? My father will definitely do it for you!"
Qin Yanshu slowly raised his eyes, his lips were dry and peeling, and his voice was hoarse: "Father, I want to see Ning'er..."
Uncle Qin's body swayed, and his face suddenly turned livid, anxious and angry: "Evil! What good is that woman? It's all because of her that you are in this situation! You still miss her, do you know that you My mother almost broke her legs trying to save you these days! Qin Yanshu, you are such a wolf!"
Qin Yanshu raised his body with difficulty and kowtowed to Uncle Qin three times: "My son is unfilial. Please take care of yourself for the rest of your life. Your son will repay your parents for raising him in the next life."
A guard soldier pushed him down, and then hit his back with a heavy staff. With just one blow, Qin Yanshu screamed uncontrollably: "Ah!"
The Queen Mother stood not far away, watching this scene with her teeth almost broken.
Prince Regent, you are so vicious.
All the civil and military officials stood at a distance, watching the once glorious Qin family's legitimate son being beaten with a cane in public, surrounded by imperial guards. The screams betrayed the unbearable pain, which was frightening.
And by executing it in public, did the regent intend to tell them that the Qin family was about to decline and there would be no room for improvement?
Even the emperor and the queen mother...
There was deathly silence all around. It was so quiet that the only sounds that could be heard were the dull sound of the stick falling on the body, and the painful moans coming from Qin Yanshu's mouth, which continued...
