However, Emperor Yuan did not give him time to be stunned. “The King of Beining took the people to the prison. Zhen has understood the cause and effect, and there is no room for refutation. Zhen immediately issued a decree and sentenced him to death in three days.”

After a series of notifications, Zong Luo finally stopped being dazed. “What does rebellion refer to?”

“The strategists of the Fifth Prince’s Mansion and the Sixth Prince’s Mansion have admitted that the Fourth Prince’s Mansion has also searched out secret letters and related evidence, all here.”

No wonder Zong Luo saw a lot of people kneeling in the hall as soon as he came in.

But this happened too quickly. Gongsun You told him about Zong Chengsi’s abnormality. He suspected that Zong Chengsi might be one of the omissions and must have dreamed of things in his previous life. Then Emperor Yuan notified him that Zong Chengsi had failed to rebel and had been arrested by the King of Beining. This caused Zong Luo to have a strange sense of disharmony.

Of course, the sense of disharmony was correct. The problem lies not only in the speed of execution, but also in Yu Beizhou.

Zong Luo would not believe that he, Yu Beizhou, would be so kind-hearted, not only arresting people and taking them to the prison, but also helping to collect evidence of crimes. Moreover, this matter also involved the biggest secret between the two of them.

Emperor Yuan’s expression was not good, but it was far from angry.

When this tyrant really gets angry, it’s definitely not as exposed as it was now. So more often than not, it’s just for others to see.

The only thing that made Zong Luo feel meaningful, no, it couldn’t be said to be unexpected.

The prince was indeed guilty with the common people, but throughout the ages, those who have been killed directly, unless they were heinous and extremely evil, would rather be punished and become a waste person to live the rest of their lives, and if they were reluctant, they would be stripped of their titles and exiled to the frontier. Like Emperor Yuan, who mentioned the rebellion last night and announced his death in the morning court today, there have not been many in the Great Yuan imperial family.

Zong Luo was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very smart, how could he not know what it meant to sentence Zong Chengsi to death at this time?

Deterrence, shock, killing chickens to warn monkeys. (TL: punish sb. as a warning to others)

At such a time when people’s hearts were most unstable, the means of tyrannical rule were usually the most straightforward and effective.

“Rebellion has always been a serious crime. Zhen’s decision has been made. Now that you are the crown prince, you naturally have the right to know. If you want, you can go to the prison to see him for the last time.”

After taking a look at the text waiting for the fall in the hall, which was actually deliberately left by Emperor Yuan to beat, Zong Luo whispered. “Yes, this subject obeys the decree.”

He still had a place of doubt in his heart.

Although Zong Chengsi did indeed rebel in his previous life, it was with the support of Yu Beizhou. In this life, he had nothing, and he rebelled? After thinking about it, it shouldn’t be. Even if he was framed, he wouldn’t be unable to defend himself, right?

Soon, Zong Luo knew why Zong Chengsi didn’t defend himself.

In the unfathomable prison, the man tied in the water had a twisted face.

Just after one night, he was tortured to be inhuman, completely unlike his usual unrestrained appearance.

Seeing him come, the silent people in the prison suddenly went mad, like a barking dog, ferocious and violent. He wanted to speak, but only a lot of blood could gush out of his mouth.

“Hee, hee, hee.”

Just by taking a look, Zong Luo knew that Zong Chengsi’s tongue had been pulled out.

Without a tongue, people couldn’t speak, and naturally they couldn’t defend themselves.

To be honest, Zong Luo didn’t have much sympathy in his heart.

In his previous life, he was harmed by the three of them. In addition, Zong Chengsi was not a good person, full of schemes, and falling into this state could only be said to be self-inflicted.

The only thing that Zong Luo cared about was one thing.

The precious and beyond the world crown prince walked out of the unfathomable prison, looking at the sunlight outside, and said lightly, “Only those who need to keep secrets will have their tongues pulled out.”

“You are even more ruthless than I imagined.”

However, the disappointment in his eyes was obvious, and it eventually settled into indifference, which was comparable to any kind of torture in the prison.

Zong Luo didn’t stop, and walked straight past the young man in red and white fur, as if seeing a stranger who was not worth stopping for, cold as the first snow on the top of Tianshan.

This attitude was more useful to Yu Beizhou than any weapon, and he turned his head back like a madman, wanting to grab that piece of hand.

On the other end, after confirming the identity of the Eighth Prince, the imperial guards of the prison were allowed to let go.

Although the emperor ordered Zong Chengsi to be sentenced to death in three days, the edict had been issued and couldn’t be changed, but he did not prohibit other princes from visiting.

However, there were not many princes who had the leisure to visit Zong Chengsi.

Zong Luo came once, and Zong Yuanwu remembered the old feelings. He didn’t go in to see, but gave some money to the executioner in the prison, just instructing them to give Zong Chengsi some good in the last few days.

As for those fox friends and dog friends in the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, when they heard that the Fourth Prince was involved in a rebellion, they all scattered like birds and beasts, let alone anyone coming to plead.

Zong Ruichen hesitated for a long time. Although the Third Imperial Brother had warned him to stay away from Zong Chengsi, considering that Zong Chengsi had indeed taken care of him in the past few months, he finally couldn’t bear it and decided to send him off before his death.

Moreover, Zong Ruichen felt from the bottom of his heart that Zong Chengsi could not rebel at this time.

In short, he wanted to ask clearly, what exactly is going on.

Just take a look, it should be fine.
