Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Being so interrupted by His Majesty Li Er, he was actually forgotten.

Now His Majesty Li Er is full of guilt towards himself, and he can't wait to make up for it to appease his heart immediately. If he doesn't mention it now, he will lose the best chance.

Immediately, he said directly: "Your Majesty, I have a small request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it!"

His Majesty Li Er was anxious to check the few memorials sent by the South, so he urged Guo Ye: "Tell me, what request do you have, I will consider it as appropriate. Also, I know that you have had friendship with that prisoner Zhao Feixuan, or Brother-in-law, but if you dare to intercede for him, don’t blame me for turning your back on him! Zhao Feixuan, he deserves to die, he must die too! You understand the stakes!”

Guo Ye muttered to himself, his mind was so clear-headed, Huahuachangzi couldn't get around him at all.

However, he was also fortunate that he had the foresight long ago, so he would not speak to His Majesty Li Er about pardoning Zhao Feixuan.

So, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zhao Feixuan committed a capital crime, and framed me and almost put me to death. How can I plead for him? But today's request is really related to him."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hands impatiently, and shouted: "Hurry up and stop talking around, I'm very busy!"

Guo Ye said loudly: "I would like to ask the emperor for permission. Three days later, I will serve as the supervisor and beheader at the execution ground in the suburbs of Chang'an!"

"what?"

His Majesty Li Er looked at Guo Ye in astonishment, and asked in confusion, "You mean you want to supervise and kill Zhao Feixuan yourself?"

Guo Ye nodded resolutely, and said: "Exactly. This time I was imprisoned and tortured, and it has a lot to do with him. Hmph, since I can't kill Cui Henian myself, and I can't pull out the behind Those few big fish, I can only use him to cut them to vent my anger! This is just such a small request, I hope His Majesty will grant it!"

"Hmm...you are really a vengeful person!"

His Majesty Li Er made fun of Guo Ye narrowly, then waved his hand, and said briskly: "I will play it! The execution will be executed in three days, and you will be the prison officer, and you will be responsible for all other trivial matters. Okay. Come on, step back, I'm busy!"

Guo Ye frowned, and said respectfully: "Thank you, my minister, long live my emperor, I will retire first!"

After the voice fell, Guo Ye had already turned back and left the Wangbei Pavilion, followed by a stone in his heart. It seemed that with a little planning, he would have an explanation for Hui Niang and Yue'er, mother and daughter.

Chapter 921 Planning and Preparation

Taking the job of supervisor and beheader from His Majesty Li Er has already fulfilled Guo Ye's purpose of entering the palace today.

After leaving the palace, he did not return to Taipingfang, and he will go to Zhao Mansion to find Huiniang to inform him of the news. Immediately, he went to Yin Mansion of Chang'an Mansion to discuss the matter with Ma Yuanju.

If Guo Ye wants to save Zhao Feixuan on the execution ground, he must get the cooperation of Ma Yuanju.

Because the preliminary preparations and arrangements for the execution of the execution ground, including the martial law around the execution ground, are usually in charge of the governor of Chang'an.

When he came to Chang'an Fuyin, Guo Ye saw Ma Yuanju, and told Ma Yuanju that he wanted to save Zhao Feixuan from the execution ground by using a trick to hide it.

After listening to the old horse, he turned his face on the spot, shook his head and slapped the table, and said angrily: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense, are you acting like a playboy? You, you, Guo Ye, are in vain An official appointed by the imperial court is in vain to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites!"

Guo Ye silently endured Ma Yuanju's scolding, secretly depressed, well, the old Ma's overflowing sense of justice and pedantic energy came up again!

Guo Ye hurriedly explained: "Old Ma, calm down first, Zhao Feixuan is indeed worthy of death, even if he is killed ten times and cut off a hundred of his heads, it is not an exaggeration. But who told his wife to be my aunt?" What about his son? As I said just now, if he dies, his wife and daughter will also die for him. How can I just watch their mother and daughter commit suicide? These are two fresh human lives !"

"Absurd, it is absolutely absurd!"

Ma Yuanju scolded angrily: "His wife and daughter are indeed pitiful, but according to what you say, the family members of death row prisoners in the world are looking for death and life, so these people are not guilty of death? The court will let these sinners deserve death Is there a way out? Guo Ye, the law of the country is like a furnace, you can't favoritism!"

It seems that Ma Yuanju is determined by the weight, and he is unwilling to cooperate with Guo Ye to save Zhao Feixuan.

Guo Ye was speechless for a while, shaking his head and sighing: "Old Ma, I really can't do this without you. Although I am the prison officer, from the layout of the execution ground, to escorting the prisoners to the execution ground, to verifying the integrity of the prisoners, to The martial law around the execution ground maintains order, and the execution of the execution by the executioner is all handled by the people in your Chang'an government office. If you don't cooperate with me, I won't be able to change the position at all."

"I'm sorry, Ma can promise you other things, but this matter—"

Ma Yuanju shook his head resolutely, waved his sleeves and refused, "It's absolutely impossible. Mr. Ma won't join forces with you."

"Ma Yuanju, you old boy is really a stone in a latrine—smelly and hard!"

Guo Ye was also offended by Ma Yuanju, and he said angrily: "If you don't help me, I will find a way to go. I don't believe in evil anymore. Without you, a butcher, I can only eat hairy pigs? Humph, myself Go as far as you want!"

Saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Just walked to the door - "Stop!"

Ma Yuanju shouted suddenly behind him: "For this execution, our Chang'an government office is only responsible for escorting the death row prisoner Zhao Feixuan to the execution ground. As for the martial law around the execution ground, there are other things such as the verification of the body and the execution of the execution by the executioner. Please ask Gao Ming Well, my Chang’an government office does not participate at all. Don’t you have a 50-man Hou’s bodyguard under your command? Let you handle it all by yourself. You can send someone to me to borrow a batch temporarily, but You have to return it in time after it's done. It's easy to go, don't give it away!"

"what?"

In another village, Guo Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Ma Yuanju with joy, and confirmed, "Old Ma, you mean..."

"It's not speculative, Guo Ye, I'm ashamed to be with people like you who treat the laws of the country as a trifle."

Ma Yuanju pulled a dead face, and issued an order to evict the guests: "Hmph, I will be very busy recently, and I don't have time to take care of these trivial matters. It's easy to leave, and I won't see you off—"

After finishing speaking, he really sat down and looked at the official documents, and he was too tired to even take another look at Guo Ye.

An inexplicable smile appeared on Guo Ye's face, he shook his sleeves and cupped his fists and said, "Old Ma, thank you very much! I owe you another favor."

At this time, if Guo Ye still doesn't understand the meaning of Ma Yuanju's words, then he is really stupid.

In an instant, he turned around and left, left the Yin Yamen of Chang'an Mansion and returned to Hou's Mansion in a sedan chair.

Back at the Hou Mansion, there was no need to delay. There were still a lot of things to prepare in the early stage, so he immediately summoned Wang Bajin and Zhang Jiujin.

in the library.

Brothers Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin came to Guo Ye.

Guo Ye took the lead in ordering Zhang Jiujin: "Jiujin, you are now taking a group of brothers to the execution ground in the suburbs of Chang'an, and putting up a martial law in the vicinity, and no idlers are allowed to approach. Then, go recruit some craftsmen. , set up a mechanism on the execution platform. How to design it, here is the blueprint—”

Guo Ye handed Zhang Jiujin a simple drawing that had already been drawn from the table, and told him, "Remember, don't look for craftsmen in Chang'an City, go to several suburban counties of Chang'an, and look for someone with a serious tone. They can understand this blueprint! Let them burn it after reading the blueprint."

Zhang Jiujin took the drawing and carefully hid it in his arms, nodded silently, then turned and left the study.

Guo Ye pointed at Wang Bajin again, and confessed: "Bajin, now you take someone to go to the Yin Yamen of Chang'an Mansion to find Mr. Ma, and borrow some government servant soap clothes from there for the brothers to change into. Then ask Mr. Ma for another one." Death row. By the way, you will handle the knife on the day of the execution, so how about a cameo as the executioner?"

Wang Bajin was surprised: "Huh?"

Guo Ye laughed and scolded: "You kid usually yells and shouts, beating and killing, isn't it quite your ability? What? If you want you to chop off your head, you will admit it?"

"No no no no……"

Wang Bajin waved his hands again and again and said: "Master Hou, that's not what I mean, I just accept this job. I just want to ask, Master Hou wants Li Daitao to be stiff and replace Zhao Feixuan's life?"

Guo Ye praised slightly: "You look silly, but you are more thoughtful than Zhang Jiujin. That's right, that's what I mean. How about it? Dare you play with me?"

Without saying a word, Wang Bajin patted his chest to show his loyalty and said: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I followed you all the way to the dark place, coming in water and going in fire. If my Wang Bajin frowned , not the one who pees standing up."

"Alright alright~"

Guo Ye glared at him angrily, and urged: "Hurry up and get down to business, tell the brothers, cheer me up and work hard, and I will reward you all when you turn back."

"Got it!"
