Chapter 1344 Don't even think about dying a dignified death
Qi Tianshi smiled mysteriously: "Since they have asked, we should naturally grant their request to demonstrate His Majesty's and the court's love for the people."
Commander Ling nodded: "I second that."
Mom, I didn't realize this was a sesame dumpling.
Master Qiong, Lord Yan, and Judge Zheng said, "Please ask the Prince of Ye to make the decision."
The King of Ye disagreed: "That's not good. Once they get infected, they will also harm other innocent people."
"Let them go. Wear gloves, they won't easily get infected... These people need to be taught a lesson," said Madam Guan.
She was teaching her grandson to be ruthless when necessary, not to overthink, and just do it!
Qin Xiaomi: Help, this is so tedious!
Sensing his grandmother's disdain and his niece's impatience, the Prince of Ye agreed: "Guards, take these men and bring the main culprit, Zheng, here."
"Yes!" Lin Baihu accepted the task, led his soldiers and doctor, and took the men away.
Those men, along with a group of accomplices, shouted, "Master Shi, Master Luo, Master Liu, Master Yun, Master Fan, go in peace! If you haven't returned in a quarter of an hour, we'll risk our lives to rush into Wu Garden and rescue you!"
Master Zheng was poisonous; he couldn't enter Wu Garden, but instead went to a secluded little house next to Wu Garden, where he was guarded by thirty Wei soldiers.
However, half of these Wei soldiers were wearing large overcoats.
Shi Luo, Liu Yunfan, and the others assumed that these Wei soldiers were implementing epidemic prevention and isolation measures... Because of the rat plague, it was not unusual to see people wearing large burlap sacks and overcoats in the city.
"We are here on the orders of the Prince of Ye to escort the main culprit, Master Zheng." These were all soldiers under Commander Lin. He also had a written letter. After handing over the letter, his captain released him.
Lin Baihu then pointed to Shi Luo, Liu Yunfan, and the others: "These men have been searched and found to be harmless. Let them escort Master Zheng; this is a job they asked for themselves."
The captain and the Wei soldiers in the courtyard looked at these people with confusion and speechlessness... Could they be fellow patients? Otherwise, why would they be scrambling to touch Zheng Si?
They all wished they could burn the house down!
"Come with us," the captain said, leading them to see Master Zheng.
After the door was opened, the captain and the Wei soldiers stopped and did not enter the room at all.
To their surprise, "Master Zheng was not subjected to the most severe punishment!"
Mr. Tong was beaten so badly he was unrecognizable, while Master Zheng was just pale and covered in rashes.
"You poisoned Master Zheng? Even though he's a suspect, you can't abuse him!" Master Liu demanded angrily.
"Ha, we need to poison him?" the captain sneered. Zheng Si was the biggest drug den: "Stop dawdling, take the main culprit Zheng away immediately!"
"Hmph!" Master Liu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and went into the house, heading towards Master Zheng, who was fast asleep with his head down.
"Remember to wear gloves, or you'll be court-martialed!" Lin Baihu, Zongqi, and several Wei soldiers shouted from outside the door.
You brutish brute, what are you yelling about!
They cursed and resisted in their hearts, but fearing military law, they still put on leather gloves before shaking Master Zheng.
"Fourth Master Zheng, wake up! We'll take you outside to see Wei Min. If you have any grievances, you can shout them out in public, and Wei Min will definitely speak up for you!"
"Don't touch the festering rash on his face and neck!!" the squad leader shouted anxiously again.
The sound startled Master Zheng awake. He looked up at the people in front of him, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain.
After hearing the purpose of their visit, he angrily shouted, "Ugh! Ugh!"
His jaw had been removed, leaving him without the strength to bite down, and this was the only sound he could make. Master Zheng was increasingly distraught, roaring inwardly: Wei Annong ruined me! Wei Annong ruined me! I'll haunt you even as a ghost! Ahhh!
He had originally planned a dignified death, dying about fifteen minutes before his capture.
He also left behind a proclamation that he had written long ago, accusing the Wei royal family of being tyrannical and incompetent. He claimed that he had fabricated the case to amplify his influence and to ask the Wei royal family to treat the Wei people well.
He even covered himself with the proclamation pleading for justice for the people, so that the Wei army would see his corpse, clutching the proclamation, as soon as they entered.
This scene would add a tragic, heroic, and righteous touch to his death.
In this way, even if he committed a crime, he would die for the people and speak out against injustice, and would be a hero of Wei!
Hero, you ancestor, you must have had too much free time to even die in such a crazy way.
It was designed so perfectly, how come he didn't die?
Because the Imperial Guards are too versatile!
The Imperial Guards had disguised themselves and infiltrated Zheng Si's small garden villa before Commander Gan. They seized Zheng Si while he was figuring out the most perfect way to die.
Zheng Si was stunned and shouted for help, summoning his assassins and martial arts masters. They surrounded the courtyard of the council study, preparing to kill the imperial guards and seize Zheng Si, but then Commander Gan and his troops arrived.
And he even brought a sharp weapon.
The three powerful weapons bombarded the assassins and martial artists, shattering their killing intent.
A large number of Wei soldiers rushed in, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they killed 90% of the soldiers and warriors and captured 10% alive.
Master Zheng's chin was removed the moment he was arrested by the Imperial Guards, and it has not recovered to this day.
The poison sac hidden in his teeth was also removed, so he couldn't even commit suicide.
"Fourth Master Zheng, what's going on?"
"His jaw is dislocated. Quickly, put his jaw back in place for Master Zheng..."
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow shot in from outside, startling the turtle grandson who was speaking so much that he fell to the ground, trembling all over.
"You think you're so great? Zheng Si is a serious criminal. Anyone who helps him will die!" Commander Lin was furious and roared, "Get Zheng Si out of here right now! If you keep dawdling, you'll be court-martialed!"
After the executions are over, these guys will be sent to the battlefield. Keeping them in the city for even a moment longer will only result in him losing.
"Yes, yes." Shi Luo, Liu Yunfan, and the others were frightened and dared not flatter Zheng Si any longer. They escorted the bound Zheng Si out of the house.
"Shieldbearers, form a battle formation to prevent Master Zheng from being shot by the assassins of powerful families." Commander Lin ordered, "The Prince of Ye said that Master Zheng cannot die and must be sent back to the capital to be returned to the Zheng family."
Upon hearing this, Master Zheng was so shocked that he almost couldn't catch his breath!
It's over, it's over. If he's returned to the Zheng family, the alliance of powerful families will be publicly humiliated. All their elegance and dignity will be gone, and the entire alliance will lose face and become a laughing stock because of him!
"Ugh!"
Kill me, kill me! I'm willing to confess my crimes, but I beg you to behead me in public so that I can die in the capital city.
Don't send me back! No!
Hiss, Master Zheng couldn't catch his breath and fainted.
"Fourth Master Zheng, what's wrong? Wake up!" Shi Luo, Liu Yunfan, and the others called out, acting like complete lackeys.
Lin Baihu and Wei Jun couldn't bear to watch, so they chased after him with their spears, saying, "Hurry up and leave, as long as he's not dead!"
After Qin Xiaomi had said "you're so slow" for what felt like the umpteenth time, the group finally brought Master Zheng over.
"Wei army, form ranks and protect the main culprit, Master Zheng. Do not allow anyone to launch a distant attack and assassinate him!" Qu Tongzhi and Wei Qianhu were on high alert and kept shouting, "Anyone who dares to silence Master Zheng is going to war with the court. The court will find the mastermind behind this and exterminate his entire clan!"
Ha, the elite family assassins can openly intercept and kill Kang Rong's grain delivery team, do you think they'd be afraid of your threat?
Fortunately, the Gu Chengyong faction has been wiped out, many powerful families' henchmen have been eliminated, and Wei civilians entering the Wuyuan Street area will be searched, so they are unlikely to have long-range weapons like crossbows. Therefore, this area is relatively safe.
