Lao Ai was charged with rebellion, so she was sentenced to be split by a car. This punishment is also known as the five-horse quartering when there is no car.

Just imagine, when a person is pushed to the ground by four or five people, watching them drag the rope tied to the rear of the car to the limbs, and then the body is gradually lifted into the air... How would it feel?

At this moment, only the most primitive instincts are left in Lao Ai. He is like a newborn baby, who has lost the basic ability to defecate. He is crying and begging helplessly. His sentences are chaotic and vague, and no one can understand what he is saying.

We have no way of knowing whether Lai Ai is more unwilling or more regretful, we only know that when his blood spurted to the sky and then gradually spread red throughout the open space, everything he did has completely become history.

Such a bloody scene attracted a large number of civilians. They stood outside the city gate, avoiding the lumps of flesh and blood with flickering eyes, but couldn't hold back their curiosity and looked up. Ying Zheng stood at the height of the city gate, Take it all in.

Mo Dou lowered his head and wiped his face with his sleeve. It wasn't because he was crying. In fact, he didn't feel anything at all. He even had a kind of secret pleasure. But for some reason, he always felt that Lao Ai's blood was sprayed on him. On the face, although it is impossible at such a distance...

"Your Majesty wants to imprison the Empress Dowager in Yongcheng." Li Si sneaked over, pulled the ink fountain aside, and frowned, "Many ministers are dissatisfied with this."

Mo Dou pursed his lips and asked, "What's Your Majesty's reaction?"

"Your Majesty said yesterday that if anyone is interceding for the Empress Dowager, they should be hit with thorns."

"Only with thistles?" Mo Dou asked with a strange expression, "Your Majesty didn't say anything else?"

Shouldn't it be hit first, then kill?

Li Si shook his head to express that he didn't know, Mo Dou's heart suddenly relaxed, and he asked, "Do you want me to persuade the king?"

Li Si nodded: "The other ministers don't know the inside story, so they feel that the king is too much."

Indeed, Lai Ai's public crime was rebellion. As for other things that were suppressed by Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji was at most an accomplice, and with the example of Duke Zhuang, the ministers certainly felt that Zhao Ji would not be like this.

Li Si looked at Mo Dou expectantly. He knew that this was Ying Zheng's sore spot, but with Mo Dou's temperament, he would definitely persuade Ying Zheng. In this way, Ying Zheng's trust in Mo Dou might be reduced.

"Does Li Qing also think that being widowed is too much?"

One of the taboos in the workplace: Don't talk about your boss behind your back.

Ying Zheng's voice suddenly appeared behind him, and Li Si, who was full of ghosts, turned around and bowed immediately in fright: "Your Majesty is not wrong, it's because others are ignorant."

Mo Dou twitched the corners of his mouth. I don't know if it was his illusion. After a few days of seeing each other, this guy has become more and more doggy towards Ying Zheng... No, it's not so much doggy as fear. Li Si is afraid of Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng was noncommittal, turned to Mo Dou and asked, "Dou thinks I'm too lonely?"

Mo Dou looked at Ying Zheng with sparkling eyes, and shook his head sincerely. To be honest, he even felt that Zhao Ji was a bit cheap—after doing such a wrong thing, he could still be offered to die with delicious food. , Of course, the mental pain of the other party is absolute.

Ying Zheng looked at Mo Dou and raised his eyebrows: "What about Lai Ai?"

Mo Dou continued to shake his head, was being quartered by five horses comparable to Shang Yang's grievance?

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Then why did Dou just lower his head and refuse to take another look at Lai Ai?"

Mo Dou finally hesitated a bit, and didn’t know how to answer. When the child was thrown, Mo Dou was also splashed on the face, probably because of the sequelae, so whether it was when Lao Ai screamed or was executed, Mo Dou would always subconsciously lower his head and wipe his face. face, but unexpectedly, his little action was seen by Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng saw that Mo Dou had not spoken for a long time, so he approached Mo Dou and asked, "Are you afraid of Mo Dou?"

Mo Dou shook his head, he was too scared, he was not so weak that he would faint, and Ying Zheng didn't plan to kill the minister, so what was he afraid of?

Ying Zhengzai looked at Mo Dou carefully, and suddenly smiled, and he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's better to be like this."

Then Mo Dou's ears seemed to turn red secretly... Damn, Ying Zheng's voice is really nice, to be honest, he is over 50 years old, and Ying Zheng teased him like this one after another, Mo Dou really couldn't control it .

Mo Dou raised his eyes to look at Ying Zheng, and regretfully found that there was still no liking or love in Ying Zheng's eyes, but maybe it was because of the stimulation of blood, or maybe it was because of long-term depression, or he found that Ying Zheng had already started Relaxed after breaking away from the cruel image in history, Mo Dou now has a small voice questioning himself: What are you insisting on?So what if he doesn't like you?Anyway, Ying Zheng can't do without you, why not seize this opportunity?

Ying Zheng had already left, but Mo Dou's heart was beating faster and faster. He touched his beating heart, and then he seemed to have made a decision, and then, under Li Si's perplexing gaze, he looked at Li Si Said: "I also ask Mr. Li to do me a favor and help me escape from the king."

Li Si: ...Before I said this.Can you put away that idiot?And what are you trying to figure out?The most important thing is why should I help you...

Mo Dou smiled and said: "If things come to fruition, I will never set foot in court."

Although this was what Mo Dou had planned, Li Si didn't know, he had always regarded Mo Dou as his opponent, so this was a big deal for Li Si, so big that Li Si couldn't help doubting: "Really?"

Mo Dou nodded: "Really."

In view of the good reputation of Mo Dou before, Li Si hesitated again and again, and finally agreed. The risk and return are worth his investment.

……

Mao Jiao has been a little bored recently, mainly because his good friend Mo Dou hasn't appeared for several days, and the other friends he knows... It's not that he is too arrogant, it's that those people are really not on the same level as him.

So out of boredom, Mao Jiao just watched Lao Ai's execution, and then... he was stabbed by the usual luck—someone happened to be transporting thistles behind him.

Mao Jiao grinned and touched his pricked arm, and said depressingly, "Pay attention to the road, you don't know what to do with so many thorns."

"Of course it's for beating," the other party seemed to have heard Mao Jiao's voice, he stopped, and then under Mao Jiao's astonished gaze, the man took off his coat and hat, revealing the goodness that Mao Jiao missed day and night. The face of his friend, the other party smiled at him, "Long time no see, Brother Mao."

Wow!His little friend is really not young!

Especially when Mao Jiao brought Mo Dou back to his residence and heard Mo Dou tell him the whole story of some things, he felt that his status was not worthy of such a tall and powerful friend as him.

"No, no, no, Ah Dou really thinks highly of me, how can King Qin allow me to comment on what he does?"

"I believe in Brother Mao's eloquence and ability.!"

No, I'm not, I don't, I don't want to be the first to eat crabs!

Mao Jiao said seriously: "Adou, according to my calculations, this matter must be completed with 28 constellations. I am alone, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take on this important task."

Although the statement is very unreliable, Mao Jiao is indeed right. In history, Mao Jiao used the same rhetoric when he was asked why he wanted to remonstrate, but this time he used it in reverse.

But Mo Dou didn't believe a word...

I believe your evil!History has changed, do you think this rhetoric is still useful!
