Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story
Chapter 176 Killing 3 Clans
Qiao Shangshan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I dare not, I didn't, I didn't!"
"Humph!"
The emperor kicked him down and said, "I see how much you dare to hate me! What else can you, the father-in-law and the son-in-law, not dare to do?"
Qiao Shangshan was terrified. Was the emperor going to deal with him as well?
Everyone felt that the emperor was unusual today. His face was too red, his temper too violent, and he was too impatient. If a minister was accused of treason, the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court would have to investigate the case for at least ten days or half a month. How could he convict based on just a few glances at a letter? What if someone had copied the handwriting? Wouldn't that have led to a false conviction?
But the emperor was too violent, and those who wanted to protect Zhang Yinhang did not dare to say a word.
In fact, these people guessed right, because those letters were written by Zhao Yuanqing.
In his previous life, Zhao Yuanqing stayed in Wumeng Country for two or three years and had the opportunity to get close to Zhenpaier, so he got Zhenpaier's calligraphy handwriting.
Zhanpaier did not like writing or painting, but in order to keep in touch with the Daqing Kingdom, he also learned the Daqing Kingdom's calligraphy. When communicating with the Emperor of Daqing Kingdom, he often wrote by himself.
Moreover, in Zhenpaier's mansion, he was very confident in his security and never deliberately hid these things, so Zhao Yuanqing easily got a few calligraphy practice sheets that Zhenpaier didn't want.
Zhao Yuanqing secretly hid these papers under her bedding and took them out to practice whenever she had time. Her original intention at the time was to imitate Zhenpaier's handwriting and write something for her country in case of emergency.
But unexpectedly, before she could use these, she was killed.
He never expected that this skill could be used in this life and could be used to frame Zhang Yinhang. Even if Zhanpaier himself came, he would not be able to tell which one was written by him and which one was written by Zhao Yuanqing.
In addition, there is also the official seal of the Wumeng Kingdom. This is the reward that Hatalon gave to Zhao Yuanqing. Hatalon is the legitimate prince of the Wumeng Kingdom. Of course, he knows the official seal of the Wumeng Kingdom. This is also a support for his survival. When he was desperate, he also drew one for Zhao Yuanqing. Zhao Yuanqing asked a craftsman to carve one and carry it with him. He used it today.
The handwriting matched, the official seal was exactly the same, and the content on it was even more straightforward. Zhenpaier asked Zhang Yinhang to speak well of their country in front of the emperor, so that the emperor would give them more benefits, and Zhenpaier would give Zhang Yinhang huge rewards.
The emperor remembered Zhang Yinhang's suggestion and asked him to show leniency to the border countries, open more trade markets for them, let their goods come in, and promote trade between countries.
He thought it was a good idea at the time and that it could promote peace among the bordering countries. But now it seems that Zhang Yinhang, that bastard, accepted benefits from Zhenpaier and was trying to benefit him!
"How dare Zhang Yinhang! How dare you betray your country and collaborate with the enemy! Come, strip him of his court robes and throw him to the Sky Prison. After the Ministry of Justice interrogates him, we will make a decision!"
The Minister of Justice stepped forward and said, "I obey your order!"
The emperor became even more annoyed. "You must give me your confession within three days, otherwise I will hold you accountable!"
"Yes!"
When the prince's men saw this, they thought, "That's enough. There's no need for them to add fuel to the fire, as the emperor will explode first."
After that, no one dared to submit a memorial anymore. The emperor just flicked his sleeves and returned to the palace to rest.
Minister of Justice Li Zhong acted very quickly, arresting Zhang Yinhang and Qiao Benwei from Jingzhao Prefecture, imprisoning all members of the Zhang family, sealing off the Zhang family, and turning the whole place upside down.
Although Zhang Yinhang and Qiao Benwei did not admit that they were traitors, there was already a letter of treason, and the handwriting and official seal had been verified. Now the Ministry of Justice was just going through the motions. In addition, some things from the Wumeng Kingdom were found in Zhang Yinhang's study, which made it even more clear.
But Zhang Yinhang refused to admit it, and Li Zhong did not force him. "Master Zhang, if you don't take the good opportunity given to you, don't blame me for not giving you face."
"You bastard! I want to see the emperor! I'm wronged! Wronged!"
Li Zhong smiled slightly, walked over to him, squatted down, and said softly, "Master Zhang, Mei Longgang said the same thing in front of me back then. He also kept saying that he was wrongly accused. But you stood by and swore that the exam paper was found in his study and that he cheated in the imperial examination. Master Zhang, have you forgotten?"
Zhang Yinhang was like a duck with its throat strangled, unable to utter a single word.
Li Zhong sneered, "Master Zhang, you know best whether Mei Longgang put the test paper there himself, right? And whether you wrote the letter of treason today, I'm sure you also know."
Zhang Yinhang opened his eyes wide and said after a while, "Someone is taking revenge on me! It's the Mei family who's taking revenge on me! They're taking revenge on me!"
The faces of all the Mei family members flashed before his eyes. A small figure appeared in his mind. Mei Lingyue had a little sister. What was her name? It was her! She was the only one of the Mei family still alive. She had done it. It had to be her!
Zhang Yinhang thought of Yang Qinnan who appeared inexplicably in front of him. She looked so much like Mei Lingyue. It was her, it must be her!
He shouted, "The Mei family escaped from the imperial prostitute camp. Lord Li, they must have done it!"
Li Zhong didn't believe his nonsense. "Everyone in the Mei family is dead, and that's all thanks to your family! Sir Zhang, stop quibbling! Sign it!"
"no I do not!"
Unfortunately, it was useless. Li Zhong ordered someone to write a confession, grabbed Zhang Yinhang's hand, and pressed his red handprint on the confession.
Everything was presented to the emperor, and the evidence was conclusive that Zhang Yinhang was collaborating with the enemy and selling out his country.
The emperor was furious and wrote with his own red pen, "Execute all three clans! Confiscate all property and destroy all ancestors. Execute in three days!"
Zhang Yinhang's three clans refer to his father's clan, his mother's clan, and his wife's clan.
The Zhang family has its roots in Longyou Road. It is a prominent family. The Zhang family has always had a huge influence in Longyou Road. With the support of Zhang Yinhang, a fourth-rank official in the court, they live a very happy life. They had already made a plan for three generations, wanting the family to support people in the court, and people in the court to give back to the Zhang family, so as to maintain the days of this aristocratic family. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yinhang collaborated with the enemy one day, and they fell from heaven to hell.
No one dared to plead for them. Firstly, the emperor had been in a bad mood recently and was particularly irritable, and pleading for mercy would easily lead to being implicated. Secondly, no one dared to speak out regarding this crime of treason.
So, all the members of the Zhang family who were still on the same family tree as Zhang Yinhang were pulled out. All the males were beheaded, even those in their cradles. All the females were thrown into the official prostitution camp, to be prostitutes for generations.
Zhang Yinhang's maternal family was no exception and all suffered.
His wife's family, Qiao Benwei's father Qiao Shangshan's family, and Qiao Shangshan's younger brother who did not split up the family, were all beheaded.
For someone who has committed such a serious crime, there is no time to wait until autumn, and the execution will be carried out in three days.
The vegetable market outside the Meridian Gate was crowded with people watching the excitement. Fan Shiyi Niang, Fan Zhen, Mei Yingying, Mrs. Ding, Meng Jiu and others were all hiding in the crowd. They wanted to see with their own eyes that this group of people would get their retribution.
Mei Yingying stared at Zhang Yinhang hatefully. Perhaps her gaze was too intense, and Zhang Yinhang felt it. He looked up and saw Mei Yingying at a glance.
Mei Yingying smiled at him and said silently, "Retribution!"
Zhang Yinhang yelled, "Mei Yingying! I remember now, you are Mei Lingyue's little sister, your name is Mei Yingying!"
The executioner cursed, "You're about to die, yet you're still talking nonsense! If you have any objections, go down to the underworld and tell them!"
With a wave of his hand and a slash of the knife, Zhang Yinhang's head fell down and rolled far away. He kept his eyes open, looking unwillingly in the direction of Mei Yingying.
However, Mei Yingying was not afraid. She had already experienced hell on earth, so why would she be afraid of a dead man like him?
The Zhang, Qiao, and Mi families, with a total of more than 200 male members, were all beheaded from sunrise to sunset. Mei Yingying stared at them one by one.
Some people were so scared that they cried and sighed, thinking that it was too cruel. Mei Yingying didn't think so. Her father and brother were also hacked to death in this way. But did anyone sympathize with them?
It's just karma.
Meng Jiu said softly, "Let's go."
They nodded, squeezed out of the surging crowd, and merged into the vast sea of people again.
