Zhang Feng was so scared that his heart tightened and his body trembled even more. Xiao Die and the others were full of anticipation.
Just as the executioner raised his broadsword and was about to cut off Zhang Feng's head, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from not far away.
Immediately after, a cold male voice sounded, "Stop! Spare him!"
As soon as the voice fell, the executioner was stunned. The others all turned their heads.
Xiao Die was waiting for Zhang Feng to be killed when she heard a voice. She turned her head angrily, wanting to see which blind person came to cause trouble.
When she turned her head, she found that it was her prince and princess consort on horseback. Behind them were Prince Xian, Mo Li, and the others.
Soon, Chu Xuanchen rode his horse to the execution platform. Then, he immediately got off the horse and said to the executioner, "Your Excellency Li, don't execute him yet. There's more to the case. You can't kill Zhang Feng!"
Official Li and the other executioners all stood up when they saw The Emperor of Li and the others arrive.
Official Li was puzzled, "There's more to the case? But Your Highness, His Majesty has already issued an edict ordering this official to execute Zhang Feng at noon today. This official doesn't dare to disobey His Majesty's order! "
Chu Xuanchen coldly raised his eyebrows, "If Zhang Feng really is the murderer, you can't disobey His Majesty's order. However, there's something suspicious about this case. Wang and Prince Xian found out that Yu 'er didn't die from a knife wound, but from poisoning. Wang wants to bring Zhang Feng back to the capital to re-investigate. At the same time, Wang has already sent people to the palace to report this matter to His Majesty. His Majesty is a wise ruler. I believe that he won't let anyone be wronged. If you kill Zhang Feng now and it turns out that he was really wronged, can you bear the responsibility? "
"This …" Official Li hesitated and looked at the executioners.
The executioners looked at each other in dismay, unable to make up their minds.
At this time, Prince Xian also rode his horse to the front of the crowd. He dismounted and said, "Official Li, Imperial Brother is right. There was indeed a mystery behind this case. Zhang Feng could not be killed yet. Before the case was clear, if he was killed, it would lead to an unjust case, and the real murderer would go unpunished! If His Majesty wants to blame you, you can rest assured that Wang will take full responsibility for this matter. It has nothing to do with you. "
Hearing Prince Xian's promise, Official Li said, "Alright then. I'll let you take the prisoner away for the time being. This official needs to hurry to the palace and report this matter to the Emperor."
Chu Xuanchen said coldly, "Men, take Zhang Feng away!"
Immediately, someone went up to take Zhang Feng away.
When Xiaodie heard these words, she was confused. Didn't they say that Zhang Feng was the murderer? Why wasn't he?
She had just smashed a rotten egg on Zhang Feng's face and felt that it was very satisfying, but she didn't expect things to change again.
Could there be another culprit in this case? If that was the case, then wouldn't the real culprit still be at large?
When she thought of this, her eyes burned with anger again.
When Yun Ruoyue saw Chu Xuanchen take Zhang Feng away, she couldn't help but smile. This scene was really like the routine of an execution in an ancient drama. With just a shout, he was saved.
。
Soon, Chu Xuanchen took Zhang Feng back to the court.
Zhang Feng thought that he was going to die, but he didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better. He was so happy that he wanted to dance on the grave.
As soon as he was taken into the inner court, he asked excitedly, "Your Highnesses, you said that I didn't kill him. There was another murderer. Is this true?"
