Chapter 235 Incarnation of Nie Zheng
The State of Han, one of the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, was one of the Seven Warring States. Together with the States of Wei and Zhao, it was known as the Three Jin. The State of Han was at its strongest during the reign of King Zhao of Han. He appointed Shen Buhai, a Legalist, as his prime minister, and the internal affairs were well-managed, leading to a period of relative prosperity for Han. Unfortunately, because it was surrounded by the States of Wei, Qi, Chu, and Qin, it was the smallest of the seven states.
At this time, Marquis Han Lie was in power.
Today is the day when Han Xiangxia executes prisoners. The prison carts and instruments of torture make this market scene look extremely gruesome.
In the very center of the market, a man sat in the main seat, and next to him stood a young man.
"Hehe, after today, Brother Han will be the Left Prime Minister of Han, above the emperor and below ten thousand men."
Sensing the sharp and imposing atmosphere outside, the young man smiled slightly.
The young man had a demonic mark etched between his eyebrows. If Ye Ru were here, he would definitely know who this person was.
Monster clan.
"Brother Shen, if the execution goes smoothly today, I will definitely recommend you to Marquis Han as the Minister of Literature, so that you can educate the people of Han. When the time comes, if the two of us join forces, what great things will we not accomplish?"
Han Kui pondered for a moment, then a sinister smile appeared on his lips as he spoke.
"Then I will have to trouble you, Prime Minister. I will do my utmost for the sake of Korea."
Shen Huan nodded, and then said.
"Then I'll go and bring Yan Zhongzi here first. Hmph, he's been opposing me for so long, and he still ended up as a victim of my blade. He really doesn't know what's good for him."
Han Kui clenched his fists, sneered, then stood up and walked towards the prison.
As Shen Huan watched Han Kui leave, the smile on his face gradually faded, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Shen Huan, do you know our plan? We went to great lengths to promote you to the rank of Hanlin scholar. You must repay our demon race."
At that moment, a cloud of black mist appeared behind the tent, followed by a cold laugh.
Upon hearing this, Shen Huan frowned. As a human and a descendant of Shen Buhai of the Legalist school, if the matter were to be exposed, the literary reputation established by his ancestor would collapse in an instant.
"Why are you unhappy? My demon race was able to promote you to the Hanlin Academy back then, and now we can make you a scholar who can't even kill a chicken. Everything you have now is given to you by our demon race. A wise person knows when to yield. You should be more sensible."
Seemingly sensing Shen Huan's apprehension, the black mist spoke coldly.
"Don't worry, Han Kui has gone to great lengths to enter politics and has even killed many virtuous and righteous people. If we can sideline him, when our demon race besieges the city, we will be unstoppable. At that time, among the seven warring states, we demon race will probably be the only ones left."
Shen Huan's expression changed, and then he whispered something.
"Alright, Han Kui and Yan Zhongzi are coming. Be flexible and adaptable. Remember, this plan must succeed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Kui rode his steed, followed by hundreds of soldiers escorting a prison cart as it slowly approached.
"Han Kui, you have betrayed your country and colluded with the enemy. You are utterly immoral and disrespectful. I wish I could kill you for being such a despicable person!"
As the prison van slowly moved along, a man with disheveled hair shouted loudly, as if he were insane.
“Yan Zhongzi, the victor is king and the loser is villain. Your death today is entirely your own fault. Who is colluding with the enemy and betraying the country? It’s obvious at a glance.”
At this moment, Han Kui dismounted, went to the main seat, and waved his hand:
"Bring witnesses here, so that the people can see the ugly face of Yan Zhongzi!"
Before long, two young men dressed in cloth robes were brought over, and hundreds of people had already gathered around them.
"You two tell me, is this person a traitor who has secretly stolen intelligence from our Han state and given it to Qin?"
Han Kui said in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, it was him. I happened to be herding sheep on the border between Han and Qin when I spotted him talking to a man dressed in Qin robes. They seemed to be discussing matters of state."
One of the young men glanced at Yan Zhongzi and quickly spoke.
"Ah, he actually betrayed his country and colluded with the enemy! How shameless!"
Upon hearing this, some people who didn't understand the situation became angry and threw everything they had at Yan Zhongzi, causing his face to swell up.
"With witnesses present, what excuses do you have left?"
Han Kui sneered and gave a signal, and several officers tied Yan Zhongzi up at the execution ground.
"Han Kui, the state of Han will perish in your hands!"
Yan Zhongzi cried out in grief, then spat out a mouthful of blood.
On a rooftop, a young man dressed in black robes was hidden. Seeing the people being deceived, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Do not be deceived by treacherous people, nor be swayed by pride. Throughout history, countless virtuous and righteous individuals have been willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their beliefs from being tainted. Yet, there have also been shameless individuals who, for their own selfish desires, have not hesitated to harm their own comrades. Little do they know that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Yan Zhongzi was a man of unwavering loyalty, yet he was framed and harmed by treacherous people. What a pity..."
"No, that person actually has a demonic mark between their eyebrows."
At this moment, Ye Ru saw Shen Huan on the main seat, and his pupils shrank, and his expression changed as well.
He hadn't expected that demonic markings would still exist here.
"Lord Han, this man is guilty of heinous crimes and should be executed."
Shen Huan looked at the sky, then bowed.
"Yes, it's noon. Execute!"
Han Kui sneered and threw down the execution warrant. The executioner raised his ghost-headed broadsword and slashed down fiercely at Yan Zhongzi.
"Han Kui, you have deceived the emperor and betrayed King Lie! You shall die a horrible death!"
Yan Zhongzi's voice resounded throughout the land, and the ghost-headed broadsword fell down with it. Han Kui and Shen Huan's faces turned cold as they watched the broadsword getting closer and closer.
laugh!
However, just as the ghost-headed broadsword was about to fall, a sharp gust of wind suddenly rang out from the sky, and then a black shadow suddenly tore through the space and shot fiercely towards Shen Huan.
The sudden sound of wind breaking immediately startled the soldiers here. Han Kui's expression changed drastically as he faced the black shadow. Shen Huan snorted coldly, and his scholarly talent suddenly erupted. With a movement, he appeared in front of Han Kui. He waved his sleeve, and a terrifying pillar of talent burst forth, finally slamming into the black shadow.
boom!
With a muffled thud, the dark figure was instantly shattered, and when the light disappeared, a person suddenly appeared in front of Yan Zhongzi.
"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you storm the execution ground? Do you think this is a place to play around? Guards, seize him!"
Upon seeing the young man, Han Kui flew into a rage and let out a chilling shout, at which point countless soldiers surrounded him.
Looking around, the young man slowly took two steps forward, and a clear laugh echoed through the area.
"Who will be executed at this execution ground is still uncertain... right, Ghost Scholar?"
