This executes very strangely, the common people outside execution grounds, looked that is not right. 这场行刑十分诡异,就连刑场外的百姓,都看出来不对劲。 In the past they had also seen execution, the criminals before the point of death, shrieking and howling wildly are the habits, protested loudly, even was curses, was not infrequent. 以往他们也见过行刑,犯人们在临死前,鬼哭狼嚎是常态,大声喊冤,甚至是咒骂的,也不在少数。 But this time, has not shrieked and howled wildly, has not shouted curses loudly, on scaffold that the screen encircles, a peace, more than 20 people of generous calm going dead, makes people think strange peacefully. 可这次,没有鬼哭狼嚎,也没有大声叫骂,屏风围起来的处刑台上,一片安静,二十余人慷慨从容的赴死,安静的让人觉得诡异。 Quick, the cheers of common people, have covered this peace. 很快的,百姓的欢呼声,就盖过了这种安静。 „Kills well!” “杀得好啊！” „They are the criminals who the past years were unfair to Sir Li!” “他们都是当年冤枉李大人的罪人！” „These people damn!” “这些人都该死！” „Sir Li can die content......” “李大人可以瞑目了……” The crowd front, Li Qing is gripping tightly the hand of Li Mu, said: „We walk.” 人群前方,李清紧握着李慕的手,说道:“我们走吧。” Two people turn around, the common people give away a channel for them on own initiative, they pass through slowly, the common people, gaze after them to leave, hold the Fist Dao: „Wish Sir Xiao Li and Li Miss happy union lasting a hundred years......” 两人转身,百姓们主动为他们让出一条通道,他们缓缓走过,身后的百姓,目送他们离开,抱拳道:“祝小李大人和李姑娘百年好合……” „Grows old together......” “白头偕老……” „Early birth of sons......” “早生贵子……” ...... …… More than 20 crime feudal officials violate the officer to be cut, the common people clap and cheer all, these people besides are the accessory culprits who the past years framed Sir Li Yi, oneself were also crime-ridden, faced retribution for a life of crime, their deaths, in Guo in people, was the good deed. 二十余名罪臣犯官被斩,百姓们无不拍手称快,这些人除了是当年陷害李义大人的从犯之外,自身也是罪行累累,恶贯满盈,他们的死,于国于民,都是好事。 Executes, when some common people leave the execution grounds, but must spit saliva to the scaffold, pleased of face. 行刑完毕,有些百姓离开刑场时,还要对着处刑台吐上一口口水,一脸的快意。 Long-lived king Qingtan, said to servant: „Screen first do not remove, informs their family members, comes to gather up dead bodies.” 寿王轻叹一声,对身旁一名下人说道:“屏风先不要撤,通知他们的家人,前来收尸。” The servant nods saying: „Yes.” 那下人点头道:“是。” The long-lived king is joining hands behind the back, shakes the head, while goes far away, in the mouth said in a low voice: „Died well, died well, died had not worried, died death ends all troubles......” 寿王背着手,一边摇头,一边远去,口中低声道:“死了好,死了好,死了没烦恼,死了一了百了……” stretch/open spring/lust walks in him behind, said: „The crimes of these people? Too numerous to mention, such death? Also was too rather cheap they.” 张春走在他身后,说道:“这些人的罪行?一个个都罄竹难书,这么死?也未免太便宜他们了。” Although these crime feudal officials die, but before dying? Do they think? This is a bureau, after today ? They by a new status? Reappears in Divine Capital. 这些罪臣虽死,但直到死之前?他们都认为?这是一个局,今日之后?他们就会以一个新的身份?重新出现在神都。 Although they died eventually, but at least before dying? They have not felt the fear and pain. 虽然他们终究还是死了,但至少在死之前?他们并没有感受到恐惧和痛苦。 Long-lived king Youyou saying: „During one's lifetime, something? Do not be too earnest? Almost good......” 寿王悠悠的说道:“人生在世,有些事情?不要太较真?差不多就行了……” ...... …… Including Nanyangjun elder brother king Hetai imperial concubine? Were the old party more than 20 officials, really cut news definitely in the intersection? Then sweeps across Divine Capital quickly? Is startled countless people to vibrate. 包括南阳郡王和太妃兄长在内?旧党二十余名官员,真的在街口被斩决的消息?很快便席卷神都?惊起无数人震动。 „Did they really die?” “他们真的死了？” „Does no one save them?” “没有人救他们？” „Hasn't Xiao a little acted? Regarded them abandoned the child?” “萧氏没有一点儿动作?就这么把他们当成了弃子？” „They are dreading anything, is afraid anything......” “他们在忌惮什么,又在害怕什么……” „Isn't this clear? Do they dread and are afraid? Obviously is Li Mu......” “这还不明白?他们忌惮和害怕的?显然是李慕……” ...... …… In Zhou? At evening banquet, some complexion blanches of Zhouchuan. 周家之内?晚宴上,周川的面色有些发白。 Chen Jian died, Gao Hong died, Nanyangjun king desolate clouds died, the past seven principal offenders, how many people only have him and gallant marquis safe uncle now, Li Mu have not let off these accessory culprits, how to let off their these principal offenders? 陈坚死了,高洪死了,南阳郡王萧云死了,当年的七名主犯,如今只剩下他和忠勇侯平安伯几人,李慕连那些从犯都没有放过,怎么会放过他们这些主犯？ Especially the death of Nanyangjun king, making in his heart more alarmed more and afraid. 尤其是南阳郡王的死,让他心中更为惊惧。 Even the Xiao royalty, cannot escape the sanction of Li Mu, let alone is he? 连萧氏皇族,都逃不过李慕的制裁,更何况是他？ Zhou Chen lowers the head to eat meal, on the forehead actually full is the cold sweat. 周琛低头吃饭,额头上却满是冷汗。 He knows that the father is worried about anything, Nanyangjun king and these people died, perhaps the father is his next goal. 他知道父亲在担心什么,南阳郡王和那些人都死了,或许父亲就是他的下一个目标。 Before over six months, Li Mu is a petty official in remote county city, without thinking for a half year passes, he grows into existence that the old party does not dare to provoke, dreading that Xiao royalty to their Zhou, is not so strong to Li Mu. 半年多以前,李慕还是一个偏远郡城的小吏,没想到才半年过去,他就成长为连旧党都不敢招惹的存在,萧氏皇族对他们周家的忌惮,都没有对李慕这么强。 But before he comes Divine Capital, Zhou Chen also once tried to send the killer to solve him, actually ends in failure. 而就在他来神都之前,周琛还曾经试图派杀手解决他,却以失败告终。 If Li Mu knows that killer, is he sends, he can also reduce to with this morning these person of similar fates? 如果李慕知道,那名杀手,是他派的,他岂不是也要沦落到和今天早上那些人同样的下场？ When Zhou, Zhouchuan father and son fright, in Li Residence, Li Mu is also hesitating. 周家,周川父子惊魂之际,李府之内,李慕也在踌躇。 Today, in the past most people of case, obtained the proper penalty. 今日为止,当年一案的大部分人,都得到了应有的惩罚。 The accessory culprits do not have fish slip through, the principal offender also had four people still in Divine Capital. 从犯已无漏网之鱼,主犯还有四人仍在神都。 These four people respectively are the gallant marquises, safe uncle, Yongding marquis, as well as Zhouchuan of Zhou. 这四人分别是忠勇侯,平安伯,永定侯,以及周家的周川。 The first three Divine Capital powerful officials, were designed to be involved by Zhou middle, they and Li Yi do not have the enmity, is Zhou middle after knowing perfectly well cannot change the general situation, to plan three in their hand exempts the dead gold medal, tempts them to join a gambling game intentionally. 前三名神都权贵,是被周仲设计卷入的,他们与李义没有仇怨,是周仲在明知不能改变大局之后,为了算计他们手中的三枚免死金牌,故意引诱他们入局。 Before Zhou middle tempts them, Li Yi's result has been doomed, this three people, but is Zhou middle the board game piece, although also has the misdeeds, but does not need to send them in the deathtrap. 周仲引诱他们之前,李义的结局已经注定,此三人,不过是周仲的棋子而已,虽然也有劣迹,但也没有必要致他们于死地。 As for Zhouchuan. 至于周川。 Although Li Mu also wants to make him pay to have the price that but is placed in front of him, there are two difficult problems. 李慕虽然也想让他付出应该有的代价,但摆在他面前的,有两个难题。 First, Zhou middle gives in his book, is the evidence of old party official, about Zhouchuan, Li Mu is unable to topple him through the regulation. 第一,周仲给他的册子中,都是旧党官员的罪证,并没有关于周川的,李慕无法通过律法扳倒他。 Second, Zhouchuan was the Empress uncle, Li Mu has killed her younger brother, killed her uncle again, he does not know that Empress can be at heart anything feels. 第二,周川是女皇的叔叔,李慕已经杀了她一个弟弟了,再杀她一个叔叔,他不知道女皇心里会是什么感受。 Even if she had left Zhou, but in the body flows, suits the Zhou juniors same bloodlines, Empress so cares about him, Li Mu must care about her feeling. 即便她已经离开了周家,但身体里流淌的,适合周家子弟相同的血脉,女皇是如此的在意他,李慕不能一点儿都不在乎她的感受。 He pondered for a long time, arrives in the courtyard, said to Liu Hanyan and Li Qing: „I go to a palace, today does not need I to eat meal.” 他沉思了许久,走到院子里,对柳含烟和李清道:“我去一趟宫里,今天不用等我吃饭了。” Said after them, Li Mu then leaves Li Residence, arrives at the imperial palace, he first went to the imperial kitchen, does side dish that several Empress liked, is carrying the gift box, arrives at Changlegong. 和她们说了一声之后,李慕便离开李府,来到皇宫,他先是去了御膳房,做了几道女皇喜欢的小菜,然后拎着食盒,来到长乐宫。 In Changlegong, Zhou Wu looks on the table the exceptionally sumptuous meal, the vision looks finally to Li Mu, said: „Has anything, said.” 长乐宫中,周妩看着桌上异常丰盛的饭菜,目光最终望向李慕,说道:“有什么事情,说吧。” Li Mu shakes the head saying: „All right.” 李慕摇头道:“没事。” Zhou Wu takes up the chopsticks, said: „We only give you an opportunity.” 周妩拿起筷子,说道:“朕只给你一次机会。” Li Mu said: „In person who in the past killed Sir Li Yi, first ministry of public works Shangshu Zhouchuan, was the important chief instigator.” 李慕道:“当年害死李义大人的人里面,前工部尚书周川,也是重要的主谋。” Zhou Wu silent for a long time, said lightly: „If you have his evidence, can handle him according to the regulation, We not because he will be Our uncle shelters him......, if there is which a day, the one who will offend the regulation will be you, We will not be protecting you again.” 周妩沉默了许久,才淡淡说道:“如果你有他的罪证,可以依照律法处置他,朕不会因为他是朕的叔叔就庇护他……,如果有哪一天,触犯律法的是你,朕也不会再护着你。” Li Mu said submissively: „Thanked your majesty.” 李慕拱手道:“谢陛下。” He goes out of Changlegong, in the heart breathes a sigh of relief. 他走出长乐宫,心中舒了口气。 Zhouchuan and other person of differences, in any event, Li Mu is impossible to bypass Empress, begins to him, therefore he needs first to ask the opinion of Empress. 周川和其他人不同,无论如何,李慕都不可能绕过女皇,对他动手,所以他需要先问一下女皇的意见。 After winning the Empress approval, then only had an issue not to solve. 征得女皇同意之后,便只有一个问题没有解决了。 How that collects the evidence of Zhouchuan. 那就是如何搜集周川的罪证。 New Party is founded, is about three years . Moreover the officials of two parties, there is a very wide difference, the old party is in the majority by the powerful official, New Party mostly is the emerging official, compares, the misdeeds of powerful official, must be more, collects the old party official evidence, collecting the New Party evidence is easier. 新党成立,不过三年,而且两党的官员,也有很大差别,旧党以权贵居多,新党则大都是新兴官员,相较而言,权贵的劣迹,要更多一些,搜集旧党官员罪证,也要比搜集新党罪证容易。 And, compared to the old party, New Party is stronger regarding the restraint of official, this is the Zhou middle many years has not collected one of Zhouchuan evidence reasons. 并且,相对于旧党,新党对于官员的约束更强,这也是周仲多年都没有搜集到周川罪证的原因之一。 The matter that Zhou middle so many years have not achieved, Li Mu does not think that he can achieve in a short time. 周仲这么多年都没有做到的事情,李慕不认为他短时间内可以做到。 He goes out of the imperial city gate, settled down of quarter of an hour outside the imperial city gate, then walks toward Beiyuan. 他走出宫门,在宫门外驻足了一刻钟之久,然后向北苑走去。 This time, he has not gone home, but stopped before another wealthy and prominent family. 这一次,他没有回家,而是停在了另一座高门前。 Li Mu walks to go forward, knocking on a door link. 李慕走上前,敲了敲门环。 Quick, the front door opened a seam, a servant finds out the head after the gate, asked: „Who may I ask your excellency is, what matter coming to Zhou Residence to have?” 很快的,大门就打开了一条缝,一名下人从门后探出脑袋,问道:“敢问阁下是何人,来周府有何事？” Li Mu looks at the Zhou Residence gatekeeper, said lightly: „Goes in troublesome circular, said the library person Li Mu visit.” 李慕看着周府门房,淡淡道:“麻烦进去通传一声,就说中书舍人李慕来访。” After the moment, Zhou Jia nei, Zhouchuan is knitting the brows, in hall anxious is walking slowly and aimlessly the step, muttered: „Li Mu, he comes to Zhou Residence to do, does not see, making him go back!” 片刻后,周家内,周川皱着眉,在堂内焦急的踱着步子,喃喃道:“李慕,他来周府干什么,不见,让他回去吧！” Zhou hero puts out a hand, said: „May not, if passes on, the bystander also thinks that our Zhou Jia feared his Li Mu, making him come.” 周雄伸出手,说道:“不可,要是传出去,外人还以为我们周家怕了他李慕,让他进来。” Week Chuandao: „Second Brother, but he......” 周川道:“二哥,可他……” „Might as well, first has a look at him actually to do.” Zhou hero waves to him, said: „His goal possibly is you, the Third Brother, you first avoids.” “无妨,先看看他到底想干什么。”周雄对他挥了挥手,说道:“他的目标可能是你,三弟,你先回避回避。” After Zhouchuan leaves, Zhou court follows saying: „I also first avoided.” 周川离开后,周庭跟着道:“我也先回避了。” His only son, dies in the Li Mu hand, he is unable confident facing Li Mu. 他唯一的儿子,死在李慕手中,他无法坦然的面对李慕。 After the moment, Li Mu under a servant's leadership, across two dao sect, passes through several corridors, went to a hall. 片刻后,李慕在一名下人的带领下,穿过两道门,走过数条长廊,来到了一处大厅。 In hall, only then Zhou hero. 大厅中,只有周雄一人。 Li Mu enters the hall, Zhou hero said lightly: „Sir Li, please sit down.” 李慕走进大厅,周雄淡淡道:“李大人,请坐。” „Sat does not need.” Li Mu shakes the head, said: „This officer today, only then a matter must say.” “坐就不必了。”李慕摇了摇头,说道:“本官今日来,只有一件事情要说。” Zhou hero carries the teacup, asked: „What matter?” 周雄端起茶杯,问道:“什么事情？” Li Mu said: „In the person who in the past framed this officer father-in-law Sir, Zhou Zhouchuan, was one of the principal offenders.” 李慕道:“当年陷害本官岳父大人的人里,周家周川,是主犯之一。” Zhou Xiongchen sound said: „That case has passed!” 周雄沉声道:“那件案子已经过去了！” Li Mu said: „Nanyangjun king and Gao Hong, thinks.” 李慕道:“南阳郡王和高洪,也是这么想的。” Nanyangjun king and Gao Hong was just cut, this is the naked threat, Zhou hero knocks the teacup fiercely on the table, said loudly: „Li Mu, you actually want to say anything!” 南阳郡王和高洪刚刚被斩,这已经是赤裸裸的威胁了,周雄猛地将茶杯磕在桌上,大声道:“李慕,你到底想说什么！” Li Mu said lightly: „Makes Zhouchuan request to be sent to frontier service to be sent to frontier service, this matter then stops.” 李慕淡淡道:“让周川自己请求充军发配,这件事便到此为止。” After Zhou Xiongleng one next, then flies into a rage, stands up, clenches teeth saying: „You are having a dream!” 周雄愣了一下之后,便勃然大怒,站起身,咬牙道:“你在做梦！” Li Mu shakes the head, said: „If not look in your majesty face, I will begin personally, when the time comes, was not sent to frontier service to be sent to frontier service was so simple, do not compel me.” 李慕摇了摇头,说道:“如果不是看在陛下的面子上,我会亲自动手,到时候,就不是充军发配这么简单了,你们不要逼我。” Zhou hero wishes one could to fall the teacup in hand on the Li Mu face, he runs up to Zhou to come, making Zhou family request to be sent to frontier service to be sent to frontier service, this is who is compelling who? 周雄恨不得将手中的茶杯摔在李慕脸上,他跑到周家来,让周家人自己请求充军发配,这到底是谁在逼谁？ Zhou Xiongnu: „What qualifications did you have to say?” 周雄怒道:“你有什么资格这么说？” Li Mu visits him, said: „This officer when Northern Prefecture, was once assassinated, do not think that this officer does not know, secret pulling strings of killer, is son Zhou Chen of Zhouchuan.” 李慕看着他,说道:“本官在北郡时,曾经被人暗杀,不要以为本官不知道,那杀手的幕后指使,就是周川的儿子周琛。” Crash-bang! 哗啦！ Hides Zhou Chen who listens secretly in the back room, hears the Li Mu words, in the heart shakes greatly, cannot bear draws back continually several steps, knocked a chair, pale holds the chair, the body shivers slightly. 躲在后堂偷听的周琛,听到李慕的话,心中巨震,忍不住连退数步,撞翻了一张椅子,脸色苍白的将椅子扶起来,身体微微颤抖。 The fore room, Zhou hero said decisively: „You slander!” 前堂,周雄断然道:“你这是污蔑！” Li Mu smiles, said: „Slanders, knew to sect Zhengsi, the evidence of Zhou, in my hand have many, when the time comes, is not only Zhou Chen the case, Zhouchuan, Zhou court, including other your New Party officials, cannot escape, today on the execution grounds the fates of these officials, are your fates......” 李慕笑了笑,说道:“是不是污蔑,到了宗正寺就知道了,你们周家的罪证,我手里还有不少,到时候,就不仅仅是周琛的案子,周川,周庭,包括你们新党其他官员,一个都逃不掉,今日刑场上那些官员的下场,就是你们的下场……” The Zhou male complexion becomes flushed, is pointing at him, gets angry: „You, you......” 周雄脸色涨红,指着他,怒道:“你,你……” Li Mu looks at Zhou hero, said calmly: „Chen Jian results in the grave mound the long grass, Gao Hong and Nanyangjun king corpse were just cool, I only make Zhouchuan be sent to frontier service to be sent to frontier service, has looked in your majesty face, I have no intention the factional strife of your new and old two party, but does not handle Zhouchuan, cannot revenge for the father-in-law Sir, I do not have the means to confess to the wife, Zhouchuan requested to be sent to frontier service to be sent to frontier service, is limit that I yielded, I gave you three days of time to consider, you put best into it......” 李慕看着周雄,平静说道:“陈坚得坟头已经长草,高洪和南阳郡王尸体刚凉,我只让周川充军发配,已经是看在陛下的面子上了,我无意你们新旧两党的党争,但不处置周川,不能为岳父大人报仇,我没办法向娘子交代,周川自己请求充军发配,是我让步的极限,我给你们三天时间考虑,你们好自为之……”
