Chapter 186 The Ning Family’s Rebellion
Xuan Rui took a mouthful of meat and swallowed it happily.
"More than a thousand horses ran away, but only eighty or ninety came with me. Only one out of ten survived, which was very few to begin with."
"Oh, Xuanrui is getting smarter and smarter. He can even say idioms now. Not bad, not bad.
Even if there are only eighty or ninety horses, you have made a great contribution!
Tell us how you got those horses back here?"
Seeing that his daughter hadn't eaten anything yet, Hong Tianqiao quickly asked Xuan Rui to speak.
He let his daughter eat the food well and continued to peel shrimps for her.
Xuanrui was praised, and his little chin suddenly raised up.
I didn't even have time to eat.
But by now, it was half full and wanted to talk.
"That's right! Don't you even look at who Xuan Rui's master is!"
Bai Jin'an and the others all agreed respectfully, "Yes, your master is indeed amazing!
Tell me quickly. "
"Gah--cough cough!"
Xuan Rui coughed twice before imitating others.
“The owner said those horses have iconic saddles on them and they can’t be seen by outsiders.
So Xuanrui led the horses into the forest and helped them drive away the wild beasts.
But horses are pretty smart, so I didn’t have to exert much effort, except for the time it took to hide from people.
I brought back the smart ones, and the rest couldn't understand what I was saying.
This time, many of our friends from Que’er helped us…”
Xuan Rui talked for a long time, and when he was satisfied, he finished his story.
Bai Mengshang, Hong Tianqiao and Bai Jin'an were all shocked and excited when they heard exactly how much food and fodder Bai Jintong had obtained.
But they all felt sorry for Bai Jintong, who had been away for half a month. Seeing that she had almost finished eating, they urged her to go back and rest.
Before he woke up the next day, a huge event happened in the capital. The Queen's family and the Left Prime Minister Ning's family were in turmoil.
The left prime minister and all male members of the Ning family over the age of three were beheaded, and the women and nine clans were exiled to the border.
The queen was deposed and given pigeon wine.
This family was guilty of treason, and the emperor's action was already the lightest punishment possible, and it was also done for Long Qingkai's sake.
Long Qingkai asked to be deposed as crown prince.
The emperor agreed without saying anything.
After all, although the Ning family's rebellion failed, it was only because Bai Jintong was a good doctor, otherwise it would have succeeded.
When the emperor thought of this, he wished he could kill all nine members of the Ning family.
But he is not a tyrant after all, and he also cares about the relationship between him and Long Qingkai.
If Long Qingkai had not been raised by the emperor since he was a child, he would have often gone out to study with his master after he turned thirteen, and the emperor would have sent people to follow him, which was equivalent to monitoring him.
He knew all of Long Qingkai's basic situation, and he was completely unaware of the Ning family's rebellion this time, otherwise he would have demoted Long Qingkai to a commoner.
Long Qingkai was simply implicated by the Ning family.
And today at noon is the time to behead the Ning family.
After hearing what Wanwan said, Bai Jintong jumped up.
"Change my clothes quickly. Don't change to bright colors. After all, they stick to my hands. It's not good for us to wear bright clothes."
"Girl, you are going to watch someone behead someone, aren't you afraid?"
Wanwan actually wanted to go and see it, but when she thought of the bloody scenes, she felt that it was a little too gory and didn't dare to go.
But the girl's eyes were shining now, she didn't look like she was going to watch a beheading, but rather like she was going to watch a monkey show.
"Of course I'm going. If you're scared, just stay home. I'll go by myself."
Although it was indeed bloody, Bai Jintong also wanted to go and take a look.
"No, the slave girl wants to go with you."
As Wanwan spoke, she hurriedly found a suitable set of clothes for the girl to wear, combed her hair in a simple way, and pinned two silver hairpins inlaid with sapphires on her hair.
Bai Jintong and her servant were ready, and as soon as they went out, they ran into her brother who was looking for her.
"Something bad happened to my sister!"
"I know, let's finish breakfast and go take a look.
Hey? Brother, didn’t you go to school today? "
Bai Jin'an originally wanted to give his sister a vivid performance, but when he saw that his sister knew about it, he thought it must be Wanwan who told him. This little girl talks so fast.
“Isn’t it that Prime Minister Ning was beheaded today?
All students of the Imperial College were asked to go and watch it live.”
"So perverted?"
Bai Jintong was really surprised.
After all, not everyone is so brave. Aren't you afraid of scaring others to death or going crazy, or causing some psychological trauma?
They are all top students trained with great difficulty by the Imperial College.
"It is to deter everyone from betraying or being a spy.
If a person can't even stand the challenge of killing someone, then he will never achieve anything.
Who among those who want to be an official has not seen such bloody scenes a few times?
If there is something that is unacceptable or unacceptable, then we will filter it out directly.”
Bai Jin'an thinks that this is a very reasonable thing to do in today's society.
“Maybe after reading it, I’ll have to ask the students to write an article.”
"My thoughts after watching the murder?"
However, Bai Jintong felt that it still made sense.
At the same time, I was glad that I was not a student of the Imperial College. It was really miserable.
Hong Tianqiao was relieved when he saw his daughter got up and her complexion was rosy, thinking that she must have slept well last night.
Seeing that her son and daughter came together, she knew that her son must have told his daughter about that incident, and she rolled her eyes at him.
"Are you going to take your sister to see it?
Are you itchy? ? "
"No, mother, you have wronged me this time.
My sister knew it herself before I even told her, and she wanted to go and see it herself.”
Seeing that her mother's eyes were becoming increasingly hostile, Bai Jin'an raised her hand and quickly hid behind her sister.
"Sister, can you please say something?"
"Mom, I wanted to go see it on my own. Since we are here, we have to see everything. I am not such a timid person.
If it's too bloody and I can't bear to watch it, I'll come back."
In fact, she had killed someone when Feng Ming kidnapped her last time, but it was not so bloody.
Although we had no choice before, this is the law of survival in this era.
"Okay, Jin'an, keep an eye on your sister. If anything goes wrong, bring her back immediately."
"Got it, mother."
Hong Tianqiao didn't dare to watch that kind of scene, so she didn't even think about joining in the fun.
Hong Wenchu didn't dare to go, but Hong Wenyuan wanted to go with his cousins.
When the two cousins and their servants arrived at the beheading platform at the entrance of the Dali Temple, there was already a huge crowd of people surrounding the place.
"Brother Jin'an, this way!"
Kang Yuanchun had already booked a private room on the second floor of a teahouse diagonally opposite, so he could see down more clearly.
If anything happens, they will be safer here.
There were too many people at the execution ground.
Bai Jin'an didn't bother to be polite with Kang Yuanchun and went upstairs with her sister and cousin.
"It's really clear here."
All the male members of the Ning family were already kneeling in a row on the execution ground.
Bai Jintong had no sympathy for those adults, but she felt a little pity for the two little boys who were about five or six years old.
