Chapter 24: Kill the thief to calm the world
"Oh, tell me why I can't kill you, and give me a reason why I can't kill you. β
"I have the holy decree of avoiding death given by the first emperor, Your Majesty, as a descendant of the Liu family, will not ignore the holy decree of the first emperor!"
"I must abide by the edicts of the first emperor, but how can you prove that you have the edicts of the first emperor?"
"Come on, please ask for the Holy Decree of the First Emperor! β
After a while, Hu Buyong's housekeeper went home and sent the holy decree of the first emperor to come, and the holy decree of the first emperor said that no matter what kind of major crime the Hu family committed, within three generations, they can be spared death. The holy decree also said that the Hu family followed the first emperor's dragon skills and helped the first emperor escape a catastrophe, and the first emperor gave this holy decree to avoid death.
"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that he deserves to die for his crimes, and he also knows that what he did is not a pity to die ten thousand times, but who made Weichen live well, the ancestors have the merit of following the dragon, Your Majesty can't kill me. Haha!"
"Oh, you admit that you deserve to die, and you confess what you have done?"
"Yes, I admit that everything in Sunan County was done by Weichen, and it was overdone, but what can I do, Your Majesty, you can't kill me, and you don't have any way to do what Weichen does. β
He really has the holy decree given by the emperor, it must be to avoid death, and he directly got a gold medal for avoiding death, this kind of gold medal for avoiding death even the emperor has nothing to do with him, it seems that he can't kill it, the officials in Yangzhou are talking there, thinking that the emperor will call all the officials here today, it must be to kill chickens and monkeys, I didn't expect to kill an old turtle that does not die for a thousand years, and this old turtle is still carrying a turtle shell that is not bad for a thousand years, now look at how the little emperor closes the stage! His prestige may be swept away today. Some of the officials are heartless, some are willing, and some are watching the show, anyway, they just look like they don't care about themselves, let the two of you eat dogs, anyway, it has nothing to do with me.
"Oh, the holy decree of the first emperor is clear, exempt the three generations of the Hu family from the death penalty, right!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you should let me go!"
"Let you go, just wait, and when I'm done with other things, I'll settle accounts with you!"
"Your Majesty, you are violating the holy decree of the first emperor, as the current emperor, you are the descendant of the first emperor, how can you violate the holy decree of the first emperor!"
"Did I say that I would disobey the decree of the First Emperor? Did you get into the water or was it caught in the door?"
"And you, Your Majesty?"
"Come on, push Hu Buyong's son to the mouth of the vegetable market and behead him, and throw the corpse into the mountains to feed the wolves!"
"Yes!" So the two royal guards immediately pulled Hu Buyong's son out, and only heard Hu Buyong's son's screams and cries for help along the way.
"Dad, save me, save me, save me, I'm going to be killed, I don't want to die, Dad, save me, Dad!"
"Your Majesty, Wechen ......"
"What's the matter? Hu Buyong, it's not your turn to guide me to do things!"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor's decree is still here. "Hu Buyong only has such a son, if he is killed by Liu Fei, then he is not going to be the last.
"What, Hu Buyong, do you want to disobey the holy decree of the first emperor?"
"Where did Your Majesty come from this?"
"The Holy Decree of the First Emperor is to exempt the Hu family from the death penalty for several generations?"
"Three generations!"
"How many generations have you been here?"
"Three, three, three generations!" Hu Buyong counted with his fingers. Speaking of three generations, his son will definitely not be able to keep it, he can only sacrifice his son's life, as long as his life is still there, then take a few more concubines, and if he doesn't believe it, he can't pass on his family lineage.
"Dad, save me, Dad, save me, I don't want to die!"
"Son, my father also wants to save you, but there is no way, you can go with peace of mind. Hu Buyong was not able to save his son in the end, he could only watch his son die in front of him, Hu Buyong's son's death made the surrounding people laugh and laugh, kneeling on the ground to thank him, over the years, he was bullied by the Hu family father and son enough, the only deficiency is that Hu Buyong can't kill him, and he is afraid that he will retaliate afterwards.
This emperor is really ruthless, knowing that he can't kill Hu Buyong, but he also has to find out the reason for killing from the holy decree of the previous emperor, so that Hu Buyong will lose his offspring at once, even if he is alive, it is meaningless, but what they didn't expect was that Hu Buyong was already thinking about taking a concubine.
"Hu Buyong, I came to ask you, what happened to the fire in the Hu family twenty years ago?" After the execution of Hu Buyong's son, Liu Fei turned to look at Hu Buyong and asked him.
"The fire twenty years ago, Your Majesty, there was no fire in the Hu family thirty years ago!" Hu Buyong replied with a misty look in his eyes.
"Twenty years ago, there was a fire in the Hu family compound in Sunan County, the fire burned for three days and three nights without extinguishing, and the entire Hu family was left with a young master who was left outside, so it later became the county order of Sunan County, what I said is not bad, Hu Buyong!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, every time I think that all the people in my family are engulfed in the fire, Weichen will have trouble sleeping!"
"Hehe, you will have trouble sleeping and eating, I'm afraid you are living at ease, taking other people's money, doing someone else's position, and harming other people's families to bury and make a fire, for so many years, you have not had a little guilt in your heart, have you never felt a little guilt? Aren't you afraid that hundreds of people from the Hu family will come to you to ask for your life?"
"What His Majesty said, Weichen didn't understand. Not only did Hu Buyong not understand, but Zhao Feiyan who was standing next to Liu Fei didn't understand, Zhao Yun and the others behind him didn't understand either, and Wen Kai and the others behind him were even more confused.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'm here to ask you, how old were you twenty years ago?"
"Back to Your Majesty, twenty years ago, Weichen was just twenty-two years old!"
"Oh, how old is the little young master of the Hu family!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen is the youngest child of the Hu family, and I am twenty-two years old!"
"Oh, how old was the son of the Hu family's housekeeper twenty years ago?"
"Your Majesty, how can Weichen know how old the housekeeper's son is, besides, there is not only one housekeeper in the entire Hu family, and Weichen doesn't know which housekeeper you are talking about!"
"I'm asking about the butler who eats, drinks, and sleeps with you all day!
"Weichen doesn't know!"
"It's not that I don't know, but I don't dare to say it, because that person is you, the butler's son!"
"Your Majesty, you can't wronged Weichen like this, Weichen is not convinced!"
"No, the night before the fire twenty years ago, the two people in the room of the young master of the Hu family made a big noise, and what happened to your frequent nightmares over the years, is this all providence? No, I think this is retribution, the retribution of hundreds of people in the Hu family for you, a villain. When you learned from the mouth of the little master of the Hu family that their family had the death-free Jin Zhao given by the first emperor, you became greedy, and the Jin Zhao who stole the Hu family was discovered by your master, the young master of the Hu family, Hu Buyong, so you quarreled, and you killed him in the moment when he turned around to call people, so you burned the entire Hu family overnight, so far, you have become Hu Buyong, because the two of you are basically in and out together, and no one outside knows who is the real Hu BuyongοΌβ
"Your Majesty, the criminal minister has nothing to say, but what the criminal minister doesn't understand is, how do you know what has happened for so many years? Even the people of the entire Sunan County don't know about it. β
"How do I know, don't ask more, it should be the dream of the Hu family's hundred mouths to me! Come on, take Hu Buyong down, Wen Kai, this matter will be handed over to you, just go back and give me the result!"
"Wechen obeys!"
