royal husband

back here.

The more Zhang Zhiheng thought about it, the more unwilling he became, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lan Mingzhou is really deceiving people too much, no, I can't just let it go, I must write to the Lan family, let the Lan family suppress him severely, and then I'll look for a chance to kill him later."

Chi Zhen was made dizzy by Zhang Zhiheng, "Patriarch Zhang, the Lan family once said that we should deal with Lan Mingzhou, but Lan Mingzhou is from the Lan family, if we really kill Lan Mingzhou , the Lan family might settle accounts with us."

Lu Wentao also chimed in, "Yes, Patriarch Zhang, the Lan family is powerful, but we are not members of the Lan family."

"..."

Zhang Zhiheng was silent.

At the same time, Zhang Zhiheng's lost sanity gradually came back. Instead of insisting on putting Lan Mingzhou to death like before, he began to think about the words of the Patriarchs of Chi and Lu.

Don't look at Zhang Zhiheng being so crazy, it's definitely not lucky for him to be the head of the Zhang family.

"Okay, I don't need to kill Lan Mingzhou." Zhang Zhiheng finally listened, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Zhiheng will handle it lightly, "But... I want Lan Mingzhou to be a bad guy all his life. people."

According to the laws of Daxia, those who are not good at conduct cannot continue to be officials.

Zhang Zhiheng's decision is undoubtedly to kill Lan Mingzhou from another direction.

"Patriarch Zhang's idea is brilliant." Chi Zhen nodded in satisfaction, "If we do this, we can vent our anger and let the Lan family see our sincerity."

Lu Wentao also nodded and said, "I also agree, that kid Lan Mingzhou should have/received/a lesson a long time ago."

Not a moment.

The heads of the Zhang, Chi, and Lu families discussed how to deal with Lan Mingzhou.

It's just that the development of some things is often unexpected.

"My lord, my lord and the others are really not inside, all the important things in the house are inside, you really can't go in, my lord... my lord..."

Outside.

The bursts of vaguely anxious calls instantly aroused the thoughts of the three of them.

Lu Wentao was the first to react, and said solemnly, "Could it be that something happened outside?"

Zhang Zhiheng said disapprovingly, "Impossible, this is Zhangfu, who dares to act wild in my place."

"No, there is really a sound outside Zhang Patriarch, it seems that someone has broken into Zhang's mansion." Chi Zhen has always had an unexpected and faint voice. bad.

"What? I'll go and see, if someone really breaks in, see if I don't break his leg."

Zhang Zhiheng was still angry because of Lan Mingzhou's incident, but now someone suddenly broke in, which really aroused Zhang Zhiheng's anger that had been hard to subside.

boom.

Zhang Zhiheng strode towards the door, opened it, and said sharply, "Who is playing wild in our Zhangfu? Uh...you are..."

Zhang Zhiheng didn't expect that it was soldiers who broke in, so he was stunned on the spot.

"Heh." Tao Yichu sneered, "Isn't it right here, come here, someone, catch all three of them for me."

Zhang Zhiheng thought he could get out of danger like last time, and arrogantly threatened, "I didn't do anything wrong, why do you arrest me? Let me tell you, if you don't take away all the people you brought, be careful, I will sue you for trespassing." residential."

"Say whatever you want."

Tao Yichu didn't pay attention to Zhang Zhiheng's words, and went up to arrest Zhang Zhiheng on the spot.

Chi Zhen and Lu Wentao, who conspired with Zhang Zhiheng, were not spared, and were caught by soldiers who came with Tao Yichu.

"We are from the Lan family. If you help that boy Lan Mingzhou so blatantly, aren't you afraid of offending the Lan family?" Seeing that he was arrested, Zhang Zhiheng panicked, and directly told Tao Yichu that his backer was Lan. Home.

It's just that it doesn't work at all.

If others heard Zhang Zhiheng's words, they might be frightened, but Tao Yichu was from Gu Rushuang's side, if he was really afraid that the Lan family would be a ghost.

"Take it away immediately."

At Tao Yichu's order, the heads of Zhang, Chi, and Lu's families were forcibly taken away.

Zhang Zhiheng is not such a person who accepts his fate easily, and all kinds of coercion and lure tricks have been used along the way, just to persuade Tao Yichu to let him go.

No matter what.

Tao Yichu just ignored and didn't stop Zhang Zhiheng's mouth, letting Zhang Zhiheng say that all the time. However, Tao Yichu seemed to know Zhang Zhiheng's fault, and when Chi Zhen and Lu Wentao didn't see it, he ruthlessly He poured Zhang Zhiheng a pot of wine.

Because of Tao Yichu's secret investigation, Zhang Zhiheng not only gets drunk easily after drinking, but also has more courage than usual, and he is also prone to say things that should not be said.

Too bad, these words can't be said.

"Patriarch Zhang, if you don't talk anymore, don't talk anymore."

Chi Zhen and Lu Wentao saw that Zhang Zhiheng had uttered what they had said to harm Lan Mingzhou before, and hurriedly persuaded Zhang Zhiheng in horror, but Zhang Zhiheng seemed to be possessed by a demon, and couldn't listen at all.

This time.

Zhang Zhiheng's words were not only heard by Chi Zhen, Lu Wentao and the others, not only by Tao Yichu and his soldiers, but also by the people passing by them.

When Zhang Zhiheng said these words, some of them didn't pass through his brain, and he accidentally said what shouldn't be said.

The faces of the people who heard Zhang Zhiheng's words suddenly sank.

Soon.

Zhang Zhiheng's slander of Lan Mingzhou quickly spread in Zhuzhou City.

Immediately, those people who were deceived feel guilty, and those who threw stones at Lan Mingzhou during the day are even more regretful.

"What is this place? What do you want to do with us?"

Except for the drunk Zhang Zhiheng, Chi Zhen, and Lu Wentao, they soon noticed that the place Tao Yichu brought them was not the yamen.

Tao Yichu didn't answer but instead asked, "Don't you guys know exactly what this place is?"

"Hahahaha...isn't this the place where the head was beheaded..." Although Zhang Zhiheng was drunk by Tao Yichu, he still recognized where they were.

"you……"

Waiting here for Lan Mingzhou, he interrupted abruptly, "Zhang Zhiheng, Chi Zhen, Lu Wentao, the three of you colluded with the nobles in the capital, raised the price of salt, and then slandered this official, and even beat you up." The idea of ​​raising food for disaster relief, the crime of stealing dragons and turning phoenixes, has been proven, and you should confess your guilt quickly."

"We didn't do anything, so what's the point of pleading guilty?"

"Lan Mingzhou, are you not afraid of thunder when you frame us good people like this?"

Chi Zhen and Lu Wentao unanimously chose to deny it.

joke.

These charges add up, but it is a major crime of beheading, and they will only admit it if they are stupid.

But they counted as missing one person, and that person was Zhang Zhiheng.

Zhang Zhiheng is also ruthless when he is drunk. Only after Chi Zhen and Lu Wentao finished speaking, Zhang Zhiheng continued to retort, "Patriarch Chi, Patriarch Lu, there are only the three of us here, what are you talking about, that kid Lan Mingzhou that is……"

"Zhang Zhiheng, shut up."

Chi Zhen couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately scolded Zhang Zhiheng loudly.

Because Chi Zhen and Lu Wentao were a little far away from Zhang Zhiheng, they couldn't smell the smell of alcohol on Zhang Zhiheng's body at all.As for why the two of them didn't notice that Zhang Zhiheng was drunk, it had something to do with Zhang Zhiheng's unusual drunk appearance.

Every time Zhang Zhiheng got drunk, he behaved like a normal person, and Zhang Zhiheng himself knew his problem, so he never drank in front of the two of them.

Naturally, neither of them had ever seen Zhang Zhiheng drunk, so how could he see it.

"Chi Zhen, how dare you talk to me so loudly?" Zhang Zhiheng was still drunk, but when he heard Chi Zhen's words, he became angry, and wanted to rush to Chi Zhen without hesitation, and give Chi Zhen a good beating.

Tao Yichu had seen Zhang Zhiheng's every move early on. Besides, he was the one who caught Zhang Zhiheng, so how could he give Zhang Zhiheng the chance to break free.

"Shut up for me." Lan Mingzhou saw that Zhang Zhiheng had already told what he, Chi, and Lu's family leaders had committed, and announced sharply on the spot, "Zhang Zhiheng, Chi Zhen, Lu Wentao He has committed many crimes in Zhuzhou, and he will be sentenced to death."

"Lan Mingzhou, you are just a county magistrate, you are not qualified to execute us directly."

Chi Zhen knew some laws. He knew that after the county magistrate made a death sentence, he had to report it to the higher-level magistrate.

"This is the seventh prince's order."

Lan Mingzhou took out Yingyuan's token on the spot.

Chi Zhen was stunned for a moment.

The seventh prince? ?Did he hear correctly?Did Lan Mingzhou just talk about the Seventh Prince?

Lu Wentao was also shocked and couldn't say a word.

The Lan family they worked for was Concubine Chun's mother's family, and the backer behind her was naturally Concubine Chun.And the person behind the Seventh Prince is the current Empress Gu Rushuang, it is clear at a glance which is more important.

"Come here, execute immediately."

Lan Mingzhou is so decisive because he knows that if they don't execute them now, it will be difficult to deal with them like this when they recover.

"Master Lan, you've done a good job, those harmful guys deserve to die."

"Master Lan, quickly execute them."

"It's all you guys, all of this is your fault, you don't deserve to be human at all."

There are more and more people watching all this.

these years.

The Zhang, Chi, and Lu families have done no less evil than Chen Manzhou, the former county magistrate of Zhuzhou. The reason why they dare not speak out on weekdays/days/li is because they control the lifeblood of their survival. Seeing them being arrested now Live, the people will naturally no longer swallow their anger.

"Yes, my lord."

The person in charge of the execution nodded and immediately began the execution.

"No...don't kill me...I'll give all the money in the family...uh..."

Chi Zhen was the first to have his head cut off before he finished speaking.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Wentao and Zhang Zhiheng were also executed.

As they died, the people wept with joy and shouted.

"Everyone, in addition to executing them, I will let you see another person." Lan Mingzhou clapped his hands fiercely, and Chen Manzhou, who was tied up by five flowers, was immediately escorted up by soldiers.
