However, before returning to Beijing, there were still some people who had not been dealt with.

Those officials at all levels in Jiangzhou who were imprisoned in the prison were so busy that they almost forgot about these people.

And from the Su family and even the Changyuan Chamber of Commerce, Ji Changan also got enough things to kill the entire Jiangzhou faction.

There was no need to escort them back to Beijing. It was more convenient to solve the problem here than anything else.

Otherwise, it would cost money for travel.

In the Jiangzhou prison, the dark and humid atmosphere permeated every inch of air.

And the surrounding area was guarded by the people of the Zhenwu Division, and the whole prison was as solid as a rock.

These masters who used to call the wind and rain in Jiangzhou are now in a miserable situation, curled up in their respective cells like dogs who have lost their homes.

Being trapped in this small and cramped place for a long time, lacking food and clothing, they have long been tortured to the point of being skinny, unkempt, and with messy hair sticking to their faces.

But Li Yaozu still gritted his teeth and carried it through.

In his eyes, his own death was not important, what was more important was the rise and fall of his family.

Moreover, without them, although the Sixth Prince had the title of an imperial envoy, it would be extremely difficult for him to govern smoothly.

Moreover, there were two major issues: insufficient food and even locust plague.

Even if he governed smoothly, it would still take a long time for the Sixth Prince to solve these two problems.

In the end, he still needed the help of local tyrants like them.

"Li Yaozu, it's time to go."

Just as he closed his eyes and thought, a shout broke the silence of the cell.

He looked up and saw the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division holding documents in their hands, seemingly carefully checking some names.

Then, the cell door where he was was opened roughly with a "creak".

Two burly Zhenwu guards dragged him off the ground like a chicken.

"What do you want to do? Are you going to let me out? Is it because there is not enough food now and you want us to find a solution?

We have some relationship with the grain merchants in Jiangzhou. We can go to them to borrow grain. I want to see the Sixth Prince!

I have a way to solve all this. I want to see the Sixth Prince!"

Li Yaozu was held by two people, and a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in his eyes. He struggled and shouted anxiously.

The Zhenwuwei heard his words and showed disdain on his face. He couldn't help but said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The Sixth Prince has solved the food crisis. Now the food in Jiangzhou is cheaper than before."

Li Yaozu heard it, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, as if he heard a fairy tale, and blurted out: "What about the locust plague? What about the locust plague?"

"Locust plague? The Sixth Prince used magic to catch all the locusts." The Zhenwuwei said again.

At this time, Li Yaozu heard the news and was already weak and collapsed on the ground.

He let the two Zhenwu Guards drag him, even though his body was rubbed with a lot of scars on the ground, he didn't notice it at all, muttering: "Impossible, impossible, how is it possible!!"

"Why are you talking to him..." Another Zhenwu Guard muttered in a low voice.

"Yes, he is going to die, why are you talking so much."

At this time, Li Yaozu could no longer hear any sound around him. His mind was filled with these news and he couldn't digest it.

If the Sixth Prince really solved all this, then what use would they have?

Where would these people take him?

Soon, his doubts were answered. He was dragged all the way to the platform of Caishikou.

This place was very familiar to him. In the past, he had stood on the execution platform countless times and watched prisoners being beheaded here one by one.

Now, the situation has changed, and he has fallen into such a field.

At this moment, he also found that it was not only those officials who were kneeling at Caishikou, but also his wife, children, and his housekeeper.

"Master..."

"Father, save me...Father..."

Seeing Li Yaozu coming, his family members shouted loudly and asked for help from Li Yaozu.

These were selected by Ji Changan, Li Yaozu's most important relatives, and the whole family should be in good order.

As for the last meal, it was a bit of a waste.

But Li Yaozu was upset after hearing these words, but in what state was he now, how could he have any ability to save them.

He could only raise his head and stare at Ji Changan on the execution platform above.

He cried with tears: "Sixth Prince, the disaster will not affect the family, they are completely unaware of these things.

Everyone has his own actions, and this matter is my fault, so let Your Highness deal with it.

But they are all innocent, please let Your Highness let them go."

At this moment, Li Yaozu had already collapsed.

And the area around Caishikou was already full of people watching the excitement.

PeopleThere was no sympathy in the crowd, instead, there were constant abuses. Rotten eggs and vegetable leaves were thrown at Li Yaozu like raindrops.

Ji Changan stood on a high place, looking at the environment below, listening to Li Yaozu's words and said:

"Innocent, aren't the people of Jiangzhou innocent?

You are corrupt and powerful, don't your family enjoy these?

Didn't you enjoy the money you embezzled? Didn't you use your power to help your family?

When you were colluding with officials and businessmen, did you think about the people who were killed because of your actions, they were all innocent?

My Highness killed only three tribes, up and down, no more than a thousand people.

But your decree has destroyed far more families and killed more people, how can you say you are innocent?"

When Li Yaozu heard this, he was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person collapsed to the ground in an instant.

His eyes were empty, as if his soul had been taken away.

At this moment, he didn't care about saving the lives of the officials sent by Jiangzhou.

After all, his goal was to bring honor to his family.

But his whole family was about to die, so how could he worry about the lives of those high-ranking officials in the court.

He raised his head in panic, and pleaded with an anxious voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have evidence of the Jiangzhou-sent Minister of Rites, and I am willing to present it. Please let my family go."

In his eyes, the current Sixth Prince had done such a cruel thing in Jiangzhou, and the Jiangzhou faction of the court would definitely impeach him.

The Sixth Prince must need the evidence in his hands, and only in this way can his family survive.

Ji Changan did not answer, he had already collected these evidences.

Even before he came, Luowang had almost collected these evidences. His role was to put an end to his departure from Jiangzhou with his head and blood.

Looking up at the sun, which was already at the top of the sky and a little dazzling, he said coldly: "It's three quarters after noon, behead."

After saying that, he took out a beheading order from the order tube and threw it on the ground, making a crisp sound.

The executioners heard the beheading order, but they didn't care what Li Yaozu had not finished saying.

They picked up the big knife skillfully, drank a sip of wine, and then spit on the blade with a "puff".

There were only twelve executioners on the entire platform, but today they needed to cut more than three hundred people.

It can only be said that this is a physical job.

When the people below saw the heads falling, some clapped their hands and cheered, and some covered their eyes, as if they were afraid of blood.

After doing all this, Ji Changan didn't plan to stay in Jiangzhou.

He turned and walked down the execution platform, returned to the post station, and prepared to return to Beijing.
