"I'm guilty!"

"But I won't kill you!"

Dong Zheng roared again and wanted to cut him off.

"Bang!"

At this moment, a figure jumped out and threw Dong Zheng to the ground. The sharp sword fell to the ground... Although Dong Zheng's neck was scratched and bleeding, he was not dead.

The person who knocked Dong Zheng down was Sun Jian.

He had noticed Dong Zheng's movements a long time ago and was on guard beforehand, so he stopped him in time.

The two fell to the ground. Dong Zheng regained consciousness for a long time and said angrily: "You...you bitch!"

Sun Jian pounced so hard that his head was broken, but he didn't care. His face was ferocious and his eyes were full of sternness.

A dead Dong Zheng means nothing to him. Only by giving him alive to His Majesty can his value be shown...

"quick!"

"Stop him quickly!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, Hu Bing hurriedly urged others to come forward, and he himself stepped forward to pin Dong Zheng down so that he could not move.

One was a close confidant who had been with him for more than ten years, and the other was promoted and reused as a beloved general, but they did the cruelest thing. Human nature is really despicable...

"Shit!"

"Shit!"

Dong Zheng kept yelling and scolding, but he struggled vigorously to no avail. Soon he was tied tightly and his mouth was gagged and he could only make whimpering sounds.

If looks could kill, they would have died countless times.

This could be considered a farce, but it ended quickly.

"Take them down too."

Sun Jian signaled to Lu Zhi and others that they had no power to resist in front of these tough bandits.

"The rebel leader Dong Zheng has been executed. We should open the city gates and welcome His Majesty into the city!"

Sun Jian's shouts spread, attracting everyone's agreement.

"Open the city gate!"

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

In the night sky, the sounds became louder and louder, and spread farther and farther. No one could stop this momentum, because they all wanted the opportunity to make meritorious deeds...

The Anqu city gate, which had been closed for more than ten days, was opened, and the suspension bridge was lowered at the same time.

Anqu City's city wall is three feet high and the moat outside the city is three feet wide. It is indeed indestructible, but it was breached from the inside...

Sun Jian is at the front.

As the left deputy general and the one who initiated the military remonstrance, he took the first place without hesitation, which was what he needed.

The right deputy general He Huaizhi accompanied him.

The two of them held the sobbing Dong Jian, one on the left and the other on the right.

After leaving the city, Sun Jian and He Huaizhi knelt on the ground first, followed by all the soldiers.

At this moment, they are no longer the Southern Dynasty Zhennan Army, but the rebels. They are now looking for a chance to make meritorious deeds.

There was no sound, just kneeling quietly like this. Even Dong Zheng also knelt down, but his hands and feet were tied, so it was extremely difficult to kneel, and he was almost crawling on the ground.

No one came to meet them.

The Xiongwu Army did not come, and neither did His Majesty.

They knelt like this all night, and their legs were numb...but they didn't dare to move at all.

It finally dawned.

Guan Ning appeared in front of them surrounded by a powerful army.

"Are you aware of your guilt?"

His voice spread, full of cold and murderous air.

"I deserve death for my crime!"

Everyone gnashed their teeth and shouted in unison, not because it was difficult to say such words, but because their legs were numb and it was difficult to support them.

"The soldiers of Daning died in the killing field, but you rebelled and rebelled. It is really a shame for soldiers!"

Guan Ning mercilessly denounced that rebellion was the biggest crime. If there was no reason for the incident, and if it was not needed by the court, he would never forgive him.

However, they must be severely punished so that they will never forget this day.

"You are traitors and should be eliminated. I cannot bear it and would like to give you a chance to atone for your sins..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Kneel down!"

"Kneel down for three days and three nights!"

Guan Ning shouted loudly and left directly.

Even if you want to forgive them, it is not that easy. Let them suffer and feel tired.

Otherwise, if everyone knows that there is nothing wrong with rebellion, wouldn’t it mean that everyone is rebelling?

Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.

I have already knelt all night, and I have to kneel for three days and three nights, but no one dares to say anything, they can only grit their teeth and persist.

There was only one person who was unwilling, and that was Dong Zheng. He knew he would die, so why should he suffer, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't even speak.

Dou Ying led the soldiers of the Xiongwu Army to supervise.

During this period, you are not allowed to eat or drink, and you have to kneel even if you can't.

The citizens of the city looked at it from a distance and did not dare to approach, and even cursed that it was deserved.

There were so many people that from kneeling at the city gate to the streets inside the city, it was completely dark, but not chaotic despite the large number.

In the morning when the sun was scorching, some people couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground. However, they were quickly awakened by cold water and continued to kneel.

Rebellion was originally a serious crime punishable by beheading.

No matter what, they are indeed rebels. How can they be easily forgiven?

This is only the first step. Afterwards, they will be taken to the Beijing camp for strict inspection and undergo educational reform.

The rebels are not strong-minded and must learn to be loyal to the emperor again. After practicing it, they will be sent to the northwest to pay for their crimes and perform meritorious services, so that they can escape from the body of sin...

Even so, no one said they were unwilling. Everyone knew that rebellion was a capital crime, and being able to be reborn was already a great blessing from the Emperor.

In this way, they knelt for three days and three nights without eating, drinking, or sleeping. At this time, they passed the first test and each received a bowl of hot rice porridge.

This should be the most delicious thing they have ever tasted.

Everyone was reorganized and returned to Beijing after rest. At this time, Dong Zheng, as the leader of the rebellion, was finally brought to Guan Ning. But the first words he said made Guan Ning extremely surprised.
