First Secret Agent in History

The wine enters the sad heart and turns into tears of lovesickness.

In the cell, Yuchiduan and his son were relatively speechless and could only drink one cup after another.

Yu Chiyan was severely injured that day, and he has only recovered now. During this period, Governor Wang Qichang found the best doctors for him, and used all kinds of precious medicinal materials and tonics on him for free.

He must be raised to be white, fat, and strong, so that he can withstand death by a thousand cuts.

The word "death by a thousand cuts" here is not an adjective, it is a real execution.

After a long while, Yu Chiduan said tremblingly: "Sir? Why? You are not such a person. Although you are a bit frivolous, you will not lose your temper at critical moments and you will not talk nonsense."

Tears suddenly welled up in Yuchiyan's eyes. If there was a regret medicine in this world, he would buy one no matter how much it cost. Why did he say such words at that time, which directly killed thousands of people? .

"Son, did someone harm you at that time? Did someone drug you?" Yuchi asked: "Is it Ao Yu's person? Is it this evil beast?"

Yuchiyan shook his head desperately. He had tried to recall it countless times during this period, and he really couldn't remember anything.

They say spring/dreams leave no trace, but at least there are some traces of the dream, but I really can’t remember anything that night.

Someone drugged him? I have no impression at all.

"Father, I really don't know. I was really drunk at the time." Yu Chiyan said tremblingly: "And there are some words that I have been keeping in my heart for a long time. But I don't know why I said them."

Yu Chiduan cried: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about?"

Then the father and son remained speechless and continued drinking.

After he was half drunk, an official came in and said: "This meal is not bad. It cost fifteen taels of silver to buy the best wine. I also stewed a pufferfish for you. It is extremely delicious. It can be considered a treat." The days of glory and wealth for you two have come to an end, and when you get down there, don’t blame us."

"take away……"

After the words fell, several warriors came in and escorted Yuchiduan and his son out.

After being in the cell for too long, the bright sunlight that just hit the outside made it hard to open my eyes.

After a long while, Yuchi Duan opened his eyes. This was the square outside the Governor's Mansion.

There were tens of thousands of people outside, watching the execution, and the whole place was solemn and solemn.

Because the execution ground is densely packed with people.

The real implicated nine tribes, Yuchiduan implicated nine tribes, and Xu Fu implicated nine tribes.

Of course, the emperor finally set a line. Those under the age of thirteen were exempted from the death penalty. Women were sent to the army as slaves, while men were sent to the west to do hard labor to build the Great Wall on the border.

But even so, tens of thousands of people were still implicated, and all of them were going to be beheaded.

There are only a thousand people here at this time, and only a thousand people will be killed today, for a total of ten days.

Three of them were to be executed in Lingchi, Yuchi Duan, Yuchi Yan, and Xu Xuan. They were to be chopped alive by a thousand knives.

Open your eyes and look at these people. There are many people that Yuchi Duan doesn't even know, but they are all implicated by him and will be beheaded in public.

Is this the supreme imperial power? Will tens of thousands of people die just for a mere verbal offense?

How many people were there in the Southern Zhou Empire? Eighty million, ninety million? One hundred million?

Kill tens of thousands of people in this wave? How many times can the entire empire be killed?

The imperial envoy read the imperial edict loudly.

Everyone in the audience knelt down, including tens of thousands of people who came to watch the execution.

"According to the imperial edict of Emperor Chengyun, the governor of Canglang Province, Wang Qichang, and his subordinates are dismissed from all official positions because they are not doing well in their duties."

Led by Governor Wang Qichang, more than a hundred officials all knelt down.

In front of everyone, he took off his official hat and robe.

There are more than a hundred officials, and these are only officials of seventh rank and above. The officialdom of the entire Canglang Province is almost half empty.

This scene not only trembled in the hearts of all the people present, but even Yuchiduan, his son and others twitched when they saw this scene.

These more than 100 officials have worked hard all their lives to reach where they are today. It took generations of hard work to achieve today's glory and wealth.

Just because Yu Chiyan made a gaffe while drunk, everyone was implicated, the efforts of several generations were ruined, and all futures were ruined.

"Yu Chi Duan, Yu Chi Yan, kill the nine tribes!"

"Xu Fu, Xu Xuan, kill the nine tribes!"

"Execution!" As the imperial envoy's signature fell to the ground.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Hundreds of executioners slashed with their swords.

One hundred heads rolled to the ground, and blood spilled across the square.

There were not so many professional executioners in the entire Canglang Province, so they were all transferred from the army.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Following the command, the executioner swung his sword and struck down.

With each cut, a hundred heads fell to the ground.

A total of ten waves were killed, and thousands of heads fell to the ground.

Originally, during previous executions, the onlookers would cheer loudly and even be happy. But now everyone's face was pale, silent, and they could not help but vomit.

But they couldn't help but watch, because the government organized them to come to watch the execution, just to shock them.

Moreover, a different group of people would come to carry out the execution every day. Within ten days, 300,000 people would be organized to watch the execution.

Yu Chi Duan and Yu Chi Yan just watched helplessly as their entire family was decapitated.

My whole body seemed numb, as if I had lost all emotion.

Today's beheading was over, and the imperial envoy came out with the imperial edict again.

"Yu Chi Duan, Yu Chi Yan, and Xu Xuan will be executed by Ling Chi!"

"Execution!"

The three most professional executioners stepped forward, tied up the three men with fishing nets, and then began to cut.

A real death by a thousand cuts.

"Okay, okay, okay..." Yu Chiduan suddenly shouted: "I was framed by Ao Yu, I was framed by Ao Yu, he is the mastermind behind the scenes, he is the culprit!"

This shout was heard by tens of thousands of people present.

Then a man stepped forward and stuffed a piece of wood into his mouth so that he could no longer speak.

But there was a problem here, because he waited until Yuchi Duan made a sound before stuffing wood into his mouth.

…………………………

In the Duke Shu's Mansion.

Duke Shu's entire family knelt neatly.

"The emperor asked Duke Shu, are you and the rebel Xu Fu related by marriage?" the imperial envoy asked.

Duke Shu kowtowed and said, "It's not a serious marriage. His sister is my concubine."

The imperial envoy asked again: "When Xu Fu was torn apart by a car that day, he arrested his whole family, but missed his son Xu Xuan. Was it you who hid him and sent him overseas?"

Duke Shu's face trembled, and he hated Xu Fu extremely in his heart. On that day, thirteen members of the Yuedan Ping were torn apart by cars. It looked very serious, but in the eyes of the senior officials, they knew that this matter was not serious. The reason why these thirteen people were torn apart by cars was because His Majesty the Emperor needed the heads of these people to frighten the Yuedan Ping organization. That’s all.

In terms of inner disgust and disgust alone, the emperor's comments on Yuedan's thirteen scholars were still very dull. After all, it was Ao Yu that they wanted to murder at that time, and they did not deliberately target the emperor.

That's why Shu Guogong protected Xu Fu's son. Many people knew about this matter. Governor Wang Qichang and Heibingtai Admiral Yu Tong all acquiesced.

But who would have thought that Xu Xuan, who was supposed to escape overseas, came back and contacted several of Xu Fu's direct disciples and nephews, and actually did such a big thing.

Hundreds of thousands of leaflets were printed to attack Emperor Wan Yun.

If he had known this would be the case, Shu Guogong would have caught Xu Xuan, pinned him alive in the latrine and drowned him.

When the leaflets broke out, Shu Guogong immediately killed the concubine, who was Xu Fu's sister.

Then they immediately sent people into the capital with astronomical amounts of gold and silver to collect, and everyone from the eunuch to the prince was collected.

He just wants to keep his title.

"I'm guilty, I'm guilty!" Shu Guogong kowtowed desperately, causing blood to bleed from his forehead.

Don't quibble at this time and admit it honestly, otherwise it will only anger His Majesty the Emperor even more.

The imperial envoy asked: "Duke Shu, Your Majesty asked me to ask you, do you want your life or your title?"

Duke Shu's face trembled, and all the color drained from his face.

The emperor's words made it very clear that if he wanted to keep his family's title, he would have no choice but to die.

If he wants to live, his family may lose its title.

After a long while, Duke Shu kowtowed and said, "I understand, and I will definitely give an explanation to the imperial envoy before dawn tomorrow."

Then, Shu Guogong staggered to his feet and returned to the study alone.

Just an hour later.

There were bursts of crying in Duke Shu's residence, and then everyone in the Duke's residence put on white clothes, and the family warriors came out of the residence to report mourning everywhere.

Duke Shu committed suicide. Before his death, he wrote an apology note and asked the imperial minister to deliver it to the emperor.

……………………

The entire Jiangzhou, whether it was the people, officials, or nobles, were all trembling, and they were so scared that they couldn't breathe.

The imperial envoy did not come alone, but brought hundreds of officials and thousands of soldiers.

And after arriving in Jiangzhou, they immediately took away the military power of tens of thousands of troops and completely blocked the entire Jiangzhou City.

Then the fatal imperial edicts came down one after another.

From the governor to the county magistrate, they were all dismissed from office.

All officials related to Yuchi Duan have been arrested and imprisoned. Hundreds of them have been arrested, and the number is increasing every day.

Not even jail can hold him.

Horrible news came one after another.

Yu Chiduan, Xu Fu killed the nine tribes, not to mention.

Yuchi Duan and his son, Xu Xuan and Ling Chi were executed without mentioning it.

Now even Duke Shu has committed suicide. This is a duke, the top noble of the empire.

Although this Shu Guogong family did not hold any core official positions in the court, they were dukes after all.

In the past, Jiangzhou could be said to be full of entertainment every night, especially the children of these powerful people, who swaggered through the city every day and enjoyed this colorful world.

But now, every door is closed.

All the doors of several Dukes' and Marquises' mansions were closed, and even the guarding warriors at the door were withdrawn.

Every nobleman hid in his home and shivered, fearing that disaster would fall from the sky.

Who knows whether this catastrophe will involve him? Yuchi Duan was the governor of Jiangzhou, and Xu Fu was the leader of famous people. It can be said that all the nobles in Jiangzhou had dealt with these two people.

Not to mention doing business together, eating and drinking together, and even gave each other concubines.

It's so scary.

It's really a constant state of panic.

At this time, the imperial minister was like the god of death. No matter where he went, he would cause unparalleled fear.

Because whichever house he went to read the imperial edict, it proved that someone in that house was going to die or fall.

So far, the imperial envoy has visited more than a dozen houses, some of which are high-ranking officials and some of whom are nobles.

After the imperial envoy left, someone in the family was either arrested and imprisoned, or someone committed suicide, without exception.

Therefore, almost all noble families are praying, and the imperial envoys must never come to their door.

Especially in the Wei Guogong Mansion, the Ao family closed their doors tightly and knelt in the ancestral hall to ask for the blessings of their ancestors.

………………………………

In the palace of the Duke of Wei.

The old lady eats fast and chants Buddha's name every day.

Mrs. Wei Guogong complained every day. She lived a leisurely life of glory and wealth, so why should she participate in government affairs?

What now? Retribution is coming.

I was in fear every day, and I was always worried that the imperial envoy would come to kill me.

"When you are living a good and prosperous life, why do you want to curry favor with Prime Minister Lin or the Second Prince? Look at it now, you are in trouble, you are in trouble!" Mrs. Wei Guogong scolded angrily.

Duke Guo of Wei no longer wanted to quarrel with his wife. The woman was really unreasonable.

That day you kept saying that you wanted to marry Lin Xiang, and that you wanted to be the minister of the second prince Conglong. You were more active than everyone else. Even if someone in the Duke's palace was a little bit negative, the Duke's wife would scold you, saying that you have no future. If you don’t dare to take risks, where will the wealth come from in the future?

But now that the crisis has come, she keeps saying that she wants to live a leisurely life. She tried her best to stop you that day, but she can't stop you from currying favor with Prime Minister Lin and the second prince.

In short, both pros and cons are her reasons.

"It's okay now, it's okay now, just wait, just wait."

"I usually get so close to Lin Xiang, but I get so close to Yuchi Duan and Xu Fu. A disaster is coming. A disaster is coming!"

The Duke of Wei's wife was still chattering and cursing.

Suddenly, Duan Yingying said angrily: "Mother, shut up."

Immediately, Mrs. Wei Guogong trembled, looked at her daughter in disbelief, and then screamed: "How dare you yell at me? Do you have any ethics? I am your mother, and you spoke rudely to me?"

Duan Yingying said in a cold voice: "Mother, everything we have done is so that when the crisis comes in the future, we will not be so powerless and wait for death. Everything we have done is to prevent beasts like Ao Yu from riding on us. We have the authority over us."

Mrs. Wei Guogong cried: "What future does our family have? We can't pass this test now."

Duan Yingying said: "Don't be unreasonable. His Majesty the Emperor is not crazy. Do you think he is willing to kill so many people? He has to kill. Our family will be fine. Shu Guogong is the bottom line, the bottom line of His Majesty's butcher knife."

Duke Wei said: "You are a woman, what do you know?"

She herself comes from a womanly family, and she also said that Duan Yingying comes from a womanly family.

"Shut up, or I'll slap you to death." Wei Guogong suddenly roared, pointing at his wife: "How could I marry a woman like you? Get out of here and stop making noise here."

Wei Guogong's eyes widened and he was about to get angry, but when he saw his husband actually raised his hand, he left in tears and went to the ancestral hall to complain to the old lady.

Only Wei Guogong and Duan Yingying were left in the study.

"God damn Li Chongyang, one day he will be cut into thousands of pieces." Wei Guogong roared: "If he hadn't killed Li Wen, Jinzhou would have rebelled, and Ao Xin's entire family would have been slaughtered. , why should we be so frightened here? Now it’s fine, we are the only one in Jiangzhou to bear the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor."

Duan Yingying said: "Father, don't worry, the Jiangzhou turmoil will be over soon. There is also good news, the Nulang Marquis Mansion is still under seal, the Liu family has not been released, and the beast Ao Yu has not been released either. , that’s the good news.”

Wei Guogong asked: "Will our family be affected?"

Duan Yingying shook her head and said: "It shouldn't be the case. At least we have no marriage relationship with Yuchi Duan and Xu Fu. Although we have very close contacts, that's just our own opinion. In the eyes of the world, we and these two are not masters and disciples. We’re not in-laws, so nothing will happen to our family.”

Wei Guogong hissed: "This evil beast Ao Yu is still in the cell, but it has isolated this storm. It is really disappointing. This time, the father and son were not killed."

Duan Yingying said: "I have talked with Ming Lang, and we both feel that Prime Minister Lin will not just give up. He will definitely find a way to put Ao Xin and his son to death. We will wait and see."

And right now!

The young man's voice came from outside.

"Father, father, something bad is going to happen, something is going to go wrong."

"The imperial envoy came to our house."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Guogong almost fell to the ground, his face turned pale instantly, and he almost fainted.

The imperial envoy is here? The god of death is coming?

In every house he visited before, someone either committed suicide or went to jail, but now he came to the Duke of Wei's house.

Why? Why?

Then isn’t it that my Duan family is in for a big disaster?

Duan Bi couldn't help but recall what the imperial envoy said at Duke Shu's mansion. Should he save his life or his title?

As a result, Shu Guogong committed suicide.

Duan Yingying trembled all over and said: "Impossible, impossible, and unreasonable. On the surface, our relationship with Yu Chiduan and Xu Fu is not close. There are conflicts of interest, but there is no marriage relationship, and there is no master-disciple relationship. "

Wei Guogong said: "Did you see it wrong? The imperial envoy is going in another direction?"

The young father-in-law said: "Father, we are not a small family. We are the only one in this family. If the imperial minister does not come to our house, where can he go? I said that day that I would flee overseas. Fleeing overseas, you listened to Ao Ming's lies and insisted on believing that Prime Minister Lin had some trump card, so you insisted on staying here. Now look, a catastrophe is coming, a catastrophe is coming."

I don't know why this scene seems so familiar.

Wei Guogong quickly thought of his wife's face just now. The son in front of him looked exactly like his mother.

Suddenly, Wei Guogong slapped him across the face.

At this moment, the butler's trembling voice came from outside: "My lord, the imperial envoy has arrived. You have to open the central gate to greet him."

……………………

Within the Ao family.

Ancestor Ao Ting was lying on the bed, still shivering under several quilts.

The coldness in his body seemed to come from within his bones, even if he was heated by a fire, it would be of no use.

The most feared people in this Jiangzhou turmoil are the Ao family and the Duke of Wei.

At this time, bribery was completely useless. No one sent money to the imperial envoy, but the other party refused to accept it at all.

So everyone knew that the power to deal with the Jiangzhou case this time was in the hands of the emperor, and the imperial minister was only the executor, and he could not make the decision.

This is equivalent to the black and white impermanence, which is responsible for taking people's lives, but it is only the executor. It is the Lord of Hell who really decides the fate.

All the nobles can only stay at home and wait for the judgment of fate.

The Ao family, on the other hand, is staring at the Duke of Wei's house, because the two families are almost one. If something happens to the Duke of Wei, then the Ao family will also be in danger.

But if nothing happens to the Duke of Wei, then nothing will happen to the Ao family.

Therefore, Ao Ting prayed almost day and night. The imperial envoys must never go to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

but……

His son, Count Aojing, rushed in and said tremblingly: "Father, father, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened. The imperial envoy went to the Duke of Wei's palace."

As soon as these words came out, ancestor Ao Ting's eyes suddenly darkened and he almost fainted.

Then the whole body seemed to lose all consciousness.

"Hehe..." There were roars coming from his throat.

Is this going to be a disaster?

Ao Ming's grandson clearly said that nothing would happen to the Duke of Wei's palace, and nothing would happen to the Ao family.

The death of Duke Shu was the final boundary of this Jiangzhou turmoil.

Of course, there is no word stop loss point in this world, otherwise it would be more accurate.

Soon, Ao Ming also came in.

Ancestor Ao Ting said: "Ming'er, didn't you say nothing will happen to the Duke of Wei's mansion? Why did the imperial minister go to their side? If something happens to the Duke of Wei's mansion, we won't be able to escape!"

Ao Ming said solemnly: "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be at all. His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to kill so many people, he just has to kill to maintain his majesty, so killing one Duke is enough."

"You see, killing two of the nine tribes is a killing power."

"The governor-general Wang Qichang was overthrown, and he was a high-ranking official in the border area."

"Another Duke has died."

The characters in every department were shocked. If Shu Guogong died, there would be no need to deal with Wei Guogong.

"So logically speaking, His Majesty the Emperor should not touch Duke Wei. It's really strange."

I have to say that Ao Ming and Duan Yingying are indeed very smart and analyzed everything thoroughly.

But what these two people did not expect was that when His Majesty the Emperor saw the list, he accidentally scanned the name of Wei Guogong Duan Bi, and then thought of the "East Chamber" written by Yun Zhonghe. Thinking of the Cui Guogong in it, he instinctively felt disgusted , so I casually made a check.

This is the reason for Wei Guogong's misfortune.

Therefore, this is a real unpredictable situation.

……………………

The central door of Wei Guogong was opened wide, and the whole family knelt down in order to welcome the imperial minister.

The imperial envoy said loudly: "Your Majesty has decreed that Duan Bi, Duke of Wei, is not strict in his discipline and violates the ancestral teachings. He will be punished with thirty rods!"

After hearing the imperial edict read by the imperial envoy, Wei Guogong almost fainted.

Not because of fear, but because of luck. In this situation, thirty can only be regarded as a false alarm.

But why?

What the hell kind of crime is this? It has nothing to do with Yu Chiduan and Xu Fu?

What does it mean to be lax in discipline and go against the teachings of our ancestors?

Why is this?

At that moment, several warriors from the Imperial Guard came forward and pinned Wei Guogong Duan Bi to the ground.

He raised his wooden stick and cracked it.

This is a real fight. Although Wei Guogong has martial arts and is not weak at all, he must not dare to use his martial arts to resist at this time.

So in just a dozen strokes, he was beaten to a bloody pulp, and blood spattered through his clothes.

After thirty strokes, there was not an inch of good flesh left below the waist of Wei Guogong, and he looked miserable.

But Wei Guogong still stood up with difficulty, then knelt down and kowtowed: "I know my sin, I know my sin. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Then he came to the imperial envoy and whispered: "Master Wu, please advise me, how should I correct it?"

He was asking, what exactly did he do to offend His Majesty the Emperor?

The imperial envoy hesitated for a moment and said, "His Majesty the Emperor feels that your family's relationship is quite chaotic."

Duke Guo of Wei was shocked. What was wrong with his family? Obviously you are very particular, but if the emperor says that your family's relationship is chaotic, then it must be chaotic.

"The Story of the East Chamber." The imperial envoy whispered.

Then, he shouted loudly: "Duan Bi, take care of yourself!"

After that, the imperial minister led the guards and left majestically.

"Farewell to the Imperial Envoy." Wei Guogong Duan Bi bowed to see him off.

But he was yelling inwardly.

I fuck your eighteenth generation ancestor, Ao Yu!

What's wrong with my family's relationship? Your book "The Romance of the East Chamber" ruined my family's reputation. After reading it, His Majesty the Emperor felt that our family was in chaos and that our family relations were disgusting, so he gave me thirty canes.

This, this is so fucking unfair.

Why was the imperial envoy willing to tell Wei Guogong Duan Bi? This is because he killed so many people in Jiangzhou. Although he did it according to the order, he was worried about making people hate him, so he formed a good relationship.

By the way, I also want to tell the whole Jiangzhou that everything is over and you don't have to panic anymore.

All those who should be killed have been killed, and all those who should be arrested have been arrested.

No need to stay home and be afraid.

………………

Soon, Jiangzhou officialdom and Jiangzhou nobles all accepted this signal.

It turns out that beating Wei Guogong thirty times is the real end.

It's finally over. I've been worried and scared for more than ten days, and it's finally over.

I was really scared to death. I stayed at home and prayed every day. It felt like a disaster would be imminent at any moment. It was so scary.

The killing is finally over, everyone can rest assured.

Let’s celebrate!

Especially within the Ao family, many people cried with joy.

When the imperial ministers went to the Duke of Wei's mansion, they were really scared out of their wits, thinking that it would soon be the Ao family's turn.

I didn't expect it was just a false alarm, and now it's all over.

Ancestor Ao Ting also got up from bed.

"This must be Ao Yu's evil plot. He did all this."

"He wants to put our entire family to death. He is dreaming, he is dreaming!"

"So what if it caused such a shocking storm? It can't affect us? Isn't our Ao family still standing still?"

Ancestor Ao Ting asked: "Has that little bastard Ao Yu been released? Has the Nulang Marquis Mansion been lifted from the seal? Has that bitch Liu been released from the official post?"

"No!"

"Okay, okay, okay, you deserve it, you deserve it!" Ancestor Ao Ting said sternly: "This level is over, and we will still fight to the death with this evil beast Ao Yu. I know he did all this, even though there is no evidence , but he must have done it. Yu Chiyan’s nonsense was framed by Ao Yu, and Xu Xuan’s rebellion leaflet is also inseparable from Ao Yu. He wanted to kill us, he wanted to kill us. "

"Dreaming, dreaming about his spring and autumn dream, am I not doing well? Even if he is shattered to pieces, we will be doing well."

"We have taken a breath now. Next, we must let that little evil beast Ao Yu be shattered into pieces."

At this moment, Earl Ao Jing rushed in and said tremblingly: "Father, something bad has happened, something bad has happened! Ao Yu has reported you to the Imperial Envoy."

Ancestor Ao Ting said: "He accused me, what did he accuse me of? I am not greedy, and I have no superficial relationship with Yuchi Duan Xu Fu!"

Ao Jing said: "Ao Yu accused you of being treasonous and disrespectful."

Ancestor Aoting said angrily: "Where did I say something rude?"

Ao Jing said: "He reported something to you. You said that although the Marquis of Nu Lang is Ao Xin and his title is the highest, you are the Supreme Emperor of the Ao family and you have the final say in everything in the family."

As soon as these words came out, Ancestor Ao Ting's vision went dark and he fainted.

Aoyu evil beast, you are so poisonous, you are so poisonous!
