Chapter 1682
1682 The Jiang Family 1
“Bring them all to the court!” the King said fiercely.
The booklet showed the old soldiers from the Jiang Family, namely General Jiang’s disciples, or some who always visited Madame Jiang.
He had made a list of all of them, and was thinking about getting rid of them until today.
It was the best excuse to get them out of this place.
Together with Lord Huai.
!!
The Jiang Family and anyone who was related to the Jiang Family would be out of this place forever, and he would finally be totally assured.
Thinking about this, the King felt his eyes popping out in excitement.
“De Fu, serve me the tea,” the King said, but it stayed quiet in Qianqing Palace.
De Fu was in and the other eunuch did not move.
After a long while, the King suddenly remembered that De Fu was gone.
“Serve me the tea!” He said expressionlessly.
Only then did the servants come to serve the tea.
The King still sat in his chair silently.
Two hours later.
The guards were back.
“My King, Madame Jiang wasn’t in the mansion, but all the officers on the list are here.”
“Madame Jiang is missing?” The King was displeased, but it was okay, those people were already enough. The King continued. “Take them all to the gate and release the news that they helped Lord Huai escape, so they will be beheaded every fourth hour, until Lord Huai appears,” the King said without showing any emotions.
The guards were shocked.
Some of the officers were their friends.
They had never made any mistakes. Instead, most of them were devoted to the civilians and the country.
Why must they be beheaded because of Lord Huai?
Why was Lord Huai’s absence their fault?
The guards got up and hurried away, but even if they were confused, they could not change the King’s order.
The news was spread all over the capital, and the civilians were already making a fuss out of it, but it was very quiet in the court.
No one dared to interrogate the King, in case they were beheaded as well.
The Jiang Family was already gone, and they did not want to get involved.
Gu Chaoyan heard the news very fast as well.
How ridiculous!
Gu Chaoyan burst out I’m anger.
The King was just ridiculous!
“Sword One, Lingyun, follow me to the court,” Gu Chaoyan said, as she was about to get into the court.
***
In the court.
There was a loud moaning at the door.
Many people were calling out for being misjudged! They were not the Jiang Family’s friends, and they had never gotten close to the Jiang Family, but now, they were dying because of the Jiang Family!
However, their cries reached no one.
Soon, one guard said, “It will be two hours soon, one head down…”
