Chapter 1683
1683 The Jiang Family 2
The guard was speaking in a relatively loud tone, intending to tell the executor, and the ministers who were awaiting to be beheaded. They were easily startled. The small voice passed through them and their lives were at the hands of others!
Hearing that the execution was soon to be done, they took steps backwards, fearing to be beheaded like this.
Soon, chaos arose at the gate, but they were all scholars who could not fight back, so soon they were pressed down, unable to move.
However… those in front panicked completely. When the time of beheading came, they would be the first ones to suffer. They did not even have time to appeal! They would die after being wrongly convicted.
People started to shout. “Help us, help us!”
!!
“…”
“I have nothing to do with the Jiang Family! I just paid a few visits to General Jiang when he was alive, but that was totally normal socializing! Why does it matter when they commit sins!?”
Many people echoed him.
They visited General Jiang because they wanted to take benefits from General Jiang when they were alive, but the Jiang Family were all very smart people and they never gave them any benefits. However, now that the Jiang Family was down, those who had something to do with the Jiang Family were being forced to lose their lives for their sake. They were not at all convinced.
“Behead the disciples! Not us who are innocent!” Someone shouted loudly.
Many people echoed.
Among all of those people, only a small portion of people were working for the Jiang Family. They had benefited a lot from the Jiang Family when General Jiang and the Queen were alive. They should be the first ones to be beheaded.
Soon chaos arose at the gate.
Some disciples of the Jiang Family stepped out straightforwardly. “Behead us first then! I was working for the Jiang Family, behead me if you want to!”
“…”
“Don’t you feel that you are innocent! You were trying very hard to suck up to the Jiang Family when they were in power!” That disciple sneered, then he said to the executor. “Behead me first!”
The executor and the guards all turned to the officer with admiration. Few people could be so brave when taken to the gate.
No wonder they used to work for the Jiang Family!
General Jiang was a capable general, and he knew how to train his disciples.
However, who should be beheaded first did not depend on them, but on the King.
Those officers simply did not know anything!
The Executor looked at them calmly, without answering as he saw them arguing between themselves.
The King came to the gate after seeing that it was time, then he heard the heated arguments.
He asked with a frown. “What are they arguing for?”
“My King, it is very hard to get rid of the Jiang Family. They are arguing to be beheaded later as the time approaches.”
