Douluo: Barak Rising

Chapter 54 Big Sikou, What Do You Think?

It stands to reason that at this point, there is no crime that she can't bear, but when she thinks about it carefully, she is really afraid that Jiang Yun will announce her relationship with Li Wei.

Because although she and Li Wei are childhood sweethearts and love each other deeply in their hearts, they have never acted out of line.

And once Jiang Yun announces their relationship, outsiders will definitely not think so, they will only think that she and Li Wei are having an affair in private.

She didn't care, but she didn't want Li Wei to bear the infamy of being a harem concubine.And Jiang Yun is probably so confident because he has calculated this correctly.

At such a young age, she has such a delicate control over human nature, she is not wronged to lose.

Looking up at Jiang Yun on the throne, the latter was also looking at her with a smile, but it was just an eye contact, and the two had reached a cooperation.

This is the tacit understanding between smart people.

Looking sideways, he looked at Cao Long, who saw Concubine Xiao's eyes, panicked for a moment, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mother, please don't harm me, you never told me about your rebellion."

Concubine Xiao didn't change her face, and said calmly: "Prime Minister Cao, why bother? Since the moment you supported me, our destiny has been bound together."

"Recognize it, you are not alone on the road to Huangquan, and we are with you. When we get to the underworld, we might be able to take over the position of Lord Hades."

Concubine Xiao's words made Cao Long's eyes gradually widen, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

He didn't understand why Concubine Xiao wanted to harm him.

Over the years, he has done so many things for Concubine Xiao, there is hard work if there is no credit, why does this bitch have to hold her back when she dies?

"Prime Minister Cao, do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Yun looked at Cao Long with the same smiling expression, making it impossible to figure out what was going on in his heart.

"No...Your Highness, I don't have one. She never mentioned any rebellion to me. If she knew about it, the veteran would definitely not agree to it. Your Highness, please learn from me."

In desperation, Cao Long didn't know how to cleanse himself, so he could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

Jiang Yun looked at him without changing his face, and asked, "So, she is framing you?"

"I..." Cao Long just opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while, because there is no way to explain this kind of thing.

"Old Cao, who do you think I should trust? You make it difficult for me. I can't leave an uncertain factor in this court, can I?" Jiang Yun looked at Cao Long with piercing eyes.

Looking into Jiang Yun's eyes, Cao Long seemed to understand something at this moment, he quickly prostrated himself on the ground, and said loudly: "The old minister is old and wants to resign from the post of prime minister, and I hope His Highness will allow it."

At this point, there is no need to say any more high-sounding words. Being able to save my life is considered a great fortune.

Jiang Yun said lightly: "Yes!"

There is no need to kill a civil servant. Even if he is let go, there will be no big waves. From the beginning, Jiang Yun did not intend to kill him.

Cao Long thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Long En."

After finishing speaking, Cao Long stood up slowly, took off the official hat on his head, bowed and held it up, Zhong Chen immediately went down the steps to Cao Long, and took the official hat over.

"Old minister, leave!"

Cao Long saluted Jiang Yun again, then turned and walked towards the outside of the hall, his back somewhat depressed.

When Cao Long left, Jiang Yun's eyes swept over the officials one by one, but he didn't say much in the end.

Some people need to be replaced sooner or later, but they cannot be replaced all at once. They need to be done slowly, otherwise the country will be paralyzed.

Finally, Jiang Yun's gaze fell on Concubine Xiao.

Zhong Chen immediately announced: "The harem concubine Xiao Shiya, the Zhennan general Li Wei, the red-armored imperial army commander Sun Lijie, and the Yulin army commander Zhou Chuanfeng conspired to rebel and were sentenced to be hanged, implicating the nine clans."

Without too much nonsense, the sentence was pronounced directly.

Concubine Xiao was not surprised by the punishment, the only thing that surprised her was that Bai Yan was not among them.

Taking a deep look at Jiang Yun, Concubine Xiao couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile.

After all, he's just a little kid, and his heart is still not cruel enough.

Bai Yan can betray King Jiang today because of his family, and he will naturally betray Jiang Yun because of his family in the future. It is extremely stupid to continue to use the other party regardless of guilt because of his strength.

Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "Take him down, and execute the execution together after Li Wei is escorted back."

"promise!"

Xiao Fen and the others responded and took Concubine Xiao and the three of them down. During this process, Concubine Xiao looked elegant, but it was not difficult to see from her expressions that she was still very flustered inside.

No one can remain calm in the face of death.

Afterwards, Zhong Chen shouted again: "Xuan, the commander of the Yin-armored Forbidden Army, Bai Yan sees you."

After a series of announcements, Bai Yan slowly entered the hall.

When he came under Jiang Yun, Bai Yan knelt down on his knees and said in a loud voice: "Criminal Bai Yan, see Your Highness."

As Bai Yan entered the hall, everyone's eyes fell on him, because everyone was more or less confused.

It stands to reason that with the Yin-armored Forbidden Army led by Bai Yan, even if Concubine Xiao had the support of the Red-armored Forbidden Army and Yulin Army, she would not be able to kill King Jiang.

But King Jiang just let her be killed.

It's not that they never thought that Bai Yan was also Concubine Xiao's party, but judging from the fact that Jiang Yun separated him alone, it shouldn't be.

So here comes the question, Bai Yan is not Concubine Xiao's party, how did King Jiang die?

Could it be that it was King Jiang who launched an attack on Duke Li, Concubine Xiao took advantage of the timing and took advantage of the absence of the Imperial Guards in silver armor to rebel directly?

Would this be too far-fetched?
Jiang Yun asked in a cold voice: "Bai Yan, as the commander of the Silver Armored Guards, you were not good enough to escort and caused the murder of your father. Can you be convicted?"

Regarding Bai Yan's rebellion, Jiang Yun didn't mention a word, but charged him with the crime of being unfavorable as an escort.

Bai Yan kowtowed and said, "Minister, I'm guilty."

When Jiang Yun read out his charges, Bai Yan knew that his and his family's lives should be saved, so naturally he would not be ignorant of flattery.

Jiang Yun nodded, then looked at the civil and military officials, and asked: "Everyone, how should Bai Yan be punished according to my law of Barak?"

Concubine Xiao can be punished directly, after all, the crime is unquestionable, and no one can find anything to say about the punishment Jiang Yun gave.

But Bai Yan can't, because he is going to let Bai Yan go, so other people need to be convicted.

"Uh...this..."

Jiang Yun's sudden inquiry made it impossible for everyone to fix it for a while.

Didn't you just punish Concubine Xiao very slickly?Now come to ask us what do you mean, can't you just announce the result directly?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Yun couldn't help but looked at the boss of the Ministry of Punishment, and asked, "Big Sikou, what do you think?"
