Chapter 754: Death
"You're not happy? Hehehe, what are you not a dog? And a person like you isn't even a good dog. A good dog is loyal to its owner and will not be disrespectful to its owner. And you, the dog, dare to offend the owner. You can only be considered a bad dog, a mad dog. Guo Bing sneered.
"How can the prince speak like this? My Great Zhou is the royal family and the scholars share the world, and this world belongs to the Guo family and our scholars. We assist the Kwok family in governing the world. We're not dogs, we're royal foils. Kang Zizhen straightened his waist and shouted.
"Whew! Sharing the world with the doctor? This is simply one of the most ridiculous jokes in the world. You remember to me that you're just a dog. We raised you for us to take care of the home, not for you to bite the master. Today you have offended your master, your king, and your lord, and your time of death has come. Vicious dogs must be eradicated, and today this king will remove you as a scourge. Guo Bing laughed coldly.
"What?" Kangzi was stunned and a little frightened. What does Guo Bing mean, is it going to be unfavorable to himself today?
"Lord Wang, today's matter is just a routine matter, and the prince knows the specific process, how can the prince blame the officials?" Kang Zizhen shouted.
"Routine? You insisted on putting a case on the head of my daughter and son-in-law who couldn't be beaten with eight poles, what kind of intentions do you have? Don't think that this king doesn't know what you're going to do, you just want to target this king and point the finger at this king. Seeing that this king is not in real power, you dogs will kick your nose in the face. If this king does not care with you, you will become more and more rampant. How can this king allow you dog slaves to break the rules of dignity and humility, and today this king wants you to know what it means to be respectful and humble, and what will happen if you offend the majesty of the royal family. Guo Bing shouted in a deep voice.
Kang Zizhen was terrified to the extreme, and he suddenly realized that he might not be able to get out, and maybe today's events would lead to an unbearable result. He didn't dare to protest anymore, and shouted on his knees: "The prince is angry, and the lower officials have no such intentions." The prince was so angry that he gave the lower officials 10,000 guts, and the lower officials didn't dare to have such thoughts. The lower officials are wronged, and the prince is aware of it. The lower officials can swear to the sky, and the lower officials' respect and maintenance of the prince can be expressed every day. If not, there will be no place to bury the subordinate officials. ”
"The facts are there, and they have to be denied. If you admit it directly, the king will respect you three points. You can see that you are just a dog without bones. The imperial court raised you white-eyed wolves, is it still decent to toss the world of the Great Zhou? The royal brother doesn't care, the king takes care of it for him. Today, this king is in addition to an arrogant and arrogant servant of the imperial family. Let everyone in the world know that you dogs can't do whatever they want, and someone will treat you. Come on, take down Kang Zizhen. Guo Bing shouted.
Guo Bing gave an order, and He Chao, the deputy commander of the palace guards, stepped forward in response to the promise, reached out and grabbed Kang Zizhen's arm, and twisted it over. Where did Kang Zizhen have the slightest strength to resist, and he was locked by He Chao's arms with both hands.
"Lord Wang...... The prince is angry, the lower officials are wronged, the lower officials have no offensive intentions, the prince...... Rest your anger. Kang Zizhen shouted.
Guo Bing didn't care at all, and shouted in a deep voice: "Tie it up, help the sandbag, and push it into the river." ”
"What?" Everyone opened their mouths in shock, no one expected that the prince would give such an order. This is really going to end Kang Zizhen's life. Kang Zizhen is the prefect of Hangzhou, so the prince is too inconsiderate to do this.
Lin Jue was also taken aback, he knew that today's events would be a lot of trouble, and it was a planned thing. In the plan, Guo Bing was forced by today's events to force Kang Zizhen to soften, and in front of the people of the city, he lost face and no longer dared to be arrogant. But there was no plan to help Kang Zizhen sink the river.
Lin Jue thinks that this is a temporary drama designed by Guo Bing, maybe it is just to scare Kang Zizhen. However, when Lin Jue saw that He Chao really tied up Kang Zizhen Wuhuanda and tied two heavy sandbags on the bow of the boat, Lin Jue suddenly became a little worried.
"Father-in-law, scare and scare, but don't miss it. This guy is almost scared to pee his pants, and he kowtows in public to make amends, and you can reward him with dozens of boards. Lin Jue leaned in and laughed softly in Guo Bing's ear.
Guo Bing turned his head to look at Lin Jue and sneered: "When did this king say that he only scared and scared him?" He offended this king, offended Wei'er, had ill intentions, wanted to control you and this king, and this king spared him so easily? What majesty will there be in the future? How else to get a foothold? ”
Lin Jue was stunned and said, "No...... Father-in-law, we have a plan so that we don't make too much of a fuss. You're not really going to kill him, are you? Killing him will be a recipe for trouble. Father-in-law, don't be impulsive. ”
Guo Bing snorted coldly and said, "Lin Jue, this king forgot to tell you that the plan on the Wangchao upstairs has been slightly modified by this king, but he didn't tell you." This king doesn't want to lie dormant anymore, and he doesn't want to endure it anymore. Da Zhou has been messed up by some people, and as a prince, I can't sit idly by. This king announced the return of this king with Kang Zizhen's life, so that those ghosts and ghosts tremble in front of this king. ”
In Lin Jue's stunned expression, Guo Bing waved his hand and ordered: "He Chao, throw Kang Zizhen into the river for me." ”
He Chao promised loudly and gave an order. The three guards with big shoulders and round waists lifted Kang Zizhen and walked towards the side of the ship.
Kang Zizhen wasn't too worried at first, he thought that the prince was angry. Tie yourself to a sandbag and sink into the river? Are you kidding? But at this moment, Kang Zizhen finally understood that this didn't seem to be a scare.
"Lord Wang...... You have no right to dispose of me, my lord. I am an official appointed by the imperial court, the prefect of Hangzhou. Lin Jue, you tell them to stop, you need the holy decree of the imperial court to deal with me, even if the lower official is damned, you have no right to kill the official. Kang Zizhen struggled violently and shouted loudly.
Guo Bing didn't look at him, looked away with his negative hands, and didn't listen at all.
"Lord Wang, if you can't do this, the emperor will blame you. Xiaguan was sent by Lord Yan and Lord Fang to Hangzhou to implement the new law. The lower official is a person with status, not someone who wants to kill him. I advise the prince to think twice. If I die, you will also be unlucky. Kang Ziwu shouted to himself.
"Drop it, this king doesn't want to hear this guy anymore." Guo Bing shouted angrily.
Lin Jue reacted and shouted, "Father-in-law, please think twice, don't be impulsive." ”
Guo Bing turned his head and didn't answer, Lin Jue's ears heard a 'poof' sound, and when he turned his head in horror, he saw that Kang Zizhen, who was carried by the guards, had disappeared. There was a huge ripple of water on the side of the boat. Lin Jue rushed to the side of the boat to look and saw Kang Zizhen's body sinking to the bottom of the black river.
"Pull him up, pull him up quickly." Lin Jue shouted.
He Chao looked at Lin Jue and shrugged, which means: Without the order of the prince, it is difficult to obey the fate.
Lin Jue reached out and grabbed the rope that bound the person, and pulled it up, but where did the drag move? But seeing Kang Zizhen's last remnants disappear into the turbid drinking water, countless blisters and foam rolled up, and the sludge at the bottom of the river also surged up. Above the water, it was suddenly black and messy.
On the shore of the river, there were no less than thousands of people watching from afar. When Qian Zhongze jumped off the building, they were already overwhelmed with fear. At this moment, when he saw that the prince tied up Kang Zizhen and threw him into the river, he was even more frightened, and everyone was terrified. The ferocity of Liang Wangfu has long been famous, and it is rumored that many people who offended Liang Wangfu were secretly slaughtered, but after all, they were not seen in person. I saw this scene with my own eyes today. Liang Wangye even tied up the prefect of Hangzhou to sink the river, which shows his fierceness. It's just that many people are thinking in their hearts, that's the prefect, the prince said that he would kill him, this is too unreasonable.
……
Kang Zizhen's body fell into the river, and the cold river woke up Kang Zizhen, who was stiff and paralyzed, in an instant. When the fishy river water overflowed his cheeks, Kang Zizhen was not even ready to hold his breath, choking on a large mouthful of river water and coughing violently. He tried to struggle, but his body, tied to two sandbags, sank to the bottom of the river like an iron scale. Kangzi was shocked to death, and wanted to struggle but was tied up strongly, and when he wanted to scream, a mouth was suddenly filled with river water, and several mouthfuls were poured into his abdomen.
"I'm going to die." This thought flashed through Kang Zizhen's mind, this was the end of today's day that he could never have imagined no matter what.
"Why am I so stupid, he is the prince, what am I messing with him? Didn't I give my life for nothing? I'm so stupid, I don't have enough people. I knew that it was so dangerous, and I would have implemented a new law for Laoshzi, so it would be better to be a small county magistrate in Lingnan. Although the official position is small, it is also at ease. It's better than ...... Gave his life. I'm really going to die. ”
After Kang Zizhen's thoughts were turned, his lung qi had been exhausted, and his mind was lost. At the last moment when his body sank to the bottom of the water, he opened his eyes and watched the sun shine through the turbid river, the river rippled with colorful halos, the scene was magnificent and beautiful, rare in this life. Through the halo, he saw the heads of the men poking out from the side of the ship, and heard a dull shout.
Kang Zizhen let out a long sigh, spit out the last string of bubbles, and sank into the deepest darkness at the bottom of the river, away from all the strife and noise in the world, and also gave up all longing and hope.
……
On the deck, Lin Jue shouted loudly for someone to rescue Kang Zizhen, but no one paid attention to him. Lin Jue even decided to strip off his clothes and go into the water to save people, but he knew that he couldn't save Kang Zizhen alone. The two sandbags weighed more than 200 catties, and Kang Zizhen's body was 3560 catties, so he couldn't do it anyway.
It was a long time before Guo Bing gave the order to pull Kang Zizhen up. He Chao and several guards worked together to pull Kang Zizhen, who was damp and dripping with foul-smelling river embankment silt, onto the bow of the boat. Kang Zizhen was already dead and couldn't die anymore.
The wet official uniform crumpled against Kang Zizhen's body, revealing a half-bulging belly. One of the official boots fell off, and the other also fell off. The official hat was long gone, and a bun of hair covered his face. Underneath, the silt and black water flowed slowly, and this scene was miserable. Kang Zizhen, who was still alive not long ago, is a mess of rancid flesh at the moment.
Who would have thought that this messy corpse lying on the deck was the prefect who gave orders in Hangzhou not long ago, and was extremely powerful and majestic.
