Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Fatty Wu looked solemn, stood up and faced the execution ground and said loudly.

"The governor has an order to carry out the execution!"

As soon as the words fell, the rapid drum beat suddenly sounded.

Hundreds of executioners wearing red headscarves came up behind the female prisoners, pulled out the wooden signs, and poured a sip of water into their mouths.

With a puff sound, it was sprayed on the ghost-head knife, and the sword was raised high and aimed at the female prisoner's neck.

In an instant, the execution ground erupted with cries, and the onlookers crowded forward, shouting that Ms. Li was wronged.

"Miss, we don't want to die... Wuwu." Several maids cried.

"Chan'er is sorry for everyone. It's our Langya Palace that has caused trouble to you."

Looking at the female family members with pear blossoms and rain, Li Chaner looked up to the sky and sighed and closed her beautiful eyes.

Wu Zetian was in power, and her troops were everywhere. Even the King of Han did not dare to stand up and plead for mercy.

Who among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would dare to speak for them?

Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Li Ai on the execution platform, and said in a cold voice

"Li Ai, I, Li Chan'er, will haunt you every day even if I turn into an evil ghost, until your house is confiscated and your family is destroyed!"

"Just watch, God will take care of you sooner or later!"

Li Ai frowned and urged impatiently.

"Hurry up and execute!"

"As ordered!"

Fatty Wu cupped his fists, turned around and shouted at the executioner.

"Execution!"

Just as the executioner was about to chop him down, a clanking sound sounded over the execution ground.

"I'm not here, let's see who dares to execute someone without authorization!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people shunned to both sides like a tide, and a young man wearing a red official uniform and holding a golden dragon sword strode over.

He looked majestic and walked calmly. Wherever he passed, the people all bowed and worshiped him.

"Fan Changshi, you shouldn't have come, this is a trap for you!"

Looking at the man in front of him, Zhou Xian Cheng said with a complicated expression.

Fan Xin stopped and said calmly: "A man born between heaven and earth should live up to his seven-foot body."

“Leave the rest of the matter to me, and don’t implicate your brothers and the county government.

After saying that, Fan Xin resolutely stepped onto the execution ground and walked towards Li Ai. When he passed by Li Chan'er, he saw her mouth slightly open and said lightly with a look of shock.

"We, the Tang Dynasty, rule the country by law, and no one can kill you while I'm here!

"Fan Xin, you..."

Looking at Fan Xin's retreating back, Li Chan'er's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.

She never expected that even the princes and nobles would not dare to come forward to stop a major case, but a small and wealthy governor could do it.

She never expected that this man would dare to go to the execution ground and say such powerful words in public.

How domineering this is!

What a man!

Presumably, among all living beings, there may not be such a passionate man, right?

Compared with the two thousand female prisoners who were shocked one after another, Li Ai was undoubtedly the one who was most surprised. Originally, he thought the plan was ruined.

Who would have thought that Fan Xin would show up!

And in front of everyone, he rescued the key criminal designated by the imperial court.

This is a blatant disregard for national law and sympathy for the rebels.

According to the character of Empress Dowager Wu, if she knew about this, she would definitely dismiss Fan Xin from office, put him in jail, and directly execute him!

But thinking about it from another perspective, it is really remarkable that Fan Xin can appear here. Enemies like him can't help but feel a sense of respect.

After suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Li Ai coughed and said with a straight face.

"Fan Changshi, these female prisoners are imperial prisoners. Do you want to disobey the Queen Mother's holy will?"

"What Li Chong said is wrong. When did the imperial court issue the decree to execute Li Chong's family members?"

"Hmph, since ancient times, rebels have always killed Lian's entire family, so why do we still need to issue an edict from the imperial court?

"Does this mean that Governor Li no longer has the will of the court?"

"I"

Li Ai hesitated for a moment, with a stern look on his face. The execution of Li Chong's family was his personal idea, and there was no imperial decree.

Fatty Wu on the side saw this and sneered repeatedly.

"Fan Xin, Li Chong dares to do something unnatural to the Queen Mother and wants to kill the entire clan. Do you want to stop him?"

"So you are making decisions behind the imperial court's back?

Fan Xinxin suddenly felt relieved. As he analyzed, Empress Dowager Wu did not know about the killing of Li Chong's family members.

"This"

Li Ai and others hesitated, not knowing how to answer this question.

In fact, this case is very simple. Anyone involved in Li Chong should be executed.

In the officialdom, this is called political correctness, and no one will jump out to make an issue out of it.

But Fan Xin, a stupid young man, just takes the will to speak out. Isn't this more serious?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Fan Xin chuckled lightly.

"You are so brave, you dare to kill your family members without permission behind the imperial court's back. Do you want the Queen Mother to be infamy for all eternity?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and there was a faint cold sweat on their foreheads.

Li Ai snorted angrily.

"This is nonsense! I killed the female prisoner just to relieve the Queen Mother's worries. Why should I call her a name?"

"It's obvious that you secretly colluded with Li Chong to rescue his family members."

"Come here, get Fan Xin for me!"

"Yes!"

The guards stationed around the execution ground shouted and rushed toward the execution ground.

However, as soon as they took two steps, a fierce army appeared from all sides and surrounded them.

Immediately afterwards, a general in armor walked onto the execution ground and held the fist.

"Reporting to Fan Changshi, the army has entered Bozhou and is ready to fight at any time!"

"Stay back first. If anyone resists, they will be punished on the spot!"

"Yes!"

After Lin Tie withdrew, Fan Xin walked up to Li Ai and looked at his immediate boss.

"Fan Xin, you dare to lead troops to hijack the execution ground, aren't you afraid of being punished by the court?" Li Ai glanced at the sergeants around him and shouted sharply.

Fan Xin smiled slightly.

"The official is just trying to stop you from taking human lives, so why are you trying to hijack the execution ground?"

After speaking, he passed by Li Ai and others who looked ugly and came to the execution ground.

Looking at the hopeful eyes, Fan Xin was full of energy and said loudly.

"After my investigation, I found out that there is no imperial decree to execute you.

"Therefore, the execution was stopped and escorted back to Prince Langya's Mansion to await the arrival of new decrees from the court!"

There was a loud bang, and the whole place was boiling. Everyone, including the two thousand female prisoners, knelt on the ground and shouted for Fan Chang and Shi Yingming.

The sound rumbled and shook the sky!

Amid the cheers, a massive cavalry force rushed toward the execution ground amid the dust and sand.

The leading female general held up a golden imperial edict and said with murderous intent.

"The internal guards are carrying out their duties, please get out of the way as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to block it will be shot to death!"

Seeing this scene, the cheers present suddenly stopped, and everyone felt a shadow cast in their hearts.

Just as everyone was silently watching the arrival of the army, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded from the execution ground, and then Li Ai came out and said proudly.

"Fan Xin, you didn't expect me to have some tricks up my sleeve, right?"

"To tell you the truth, I shipped the gold, silver and jewelry to Luoyang a few days ago, and by the way, I read a copy of it for you."

"This well-trained army is the guard sent by the imperial court to capture you."

"How about it, do you regret going against me now?"

"Hahaha……"
