Hundreds of death row prisoners were immediately taken up after killing one group. Li Jie, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage, looked at the heads of the people rolling to the ground with a blank expression. However, every time the executioner's ghost-headed sword fell, he felt a chill on his neck, and even in the end he doubted whether his head was still on his neck?

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yi also noticed Li Jie's abnormality and immediately held his arm and asked.

"No... nothing!" Li Jie replied reluctantly, even showing a smile, but he didn't know that his face was as pale as paper, and his smile was even more ugly than crying.

"This has been cut, let's go down quickly!" Liu Yi didn't dare to let Li Jie look again. He jumped out of the carriage and helped Li Jie get off the car. When he got off the car, he realized that Li Jie was soft and he had to hold him off the carriage himself, otherwise he would have to fall down.

"Cousin, how do you feel? Do you want to find a doctor?" After helping Li Jie into the carriage, Liu Yi asked with concern again.

"No, maybe... it may be because of the cold wind blowing, and my body is not very comfortable." Li Jie smiled again and explained to himself.

"Since you are not feeling well, then let's not go, let's go back early to rest!" Liu Yi said immediately after hearing this.

"Okay, but let me slow down first and then go back, don't tell my mother, so as not to worry!" Li Jie slowly calmed down at this time, took a few deep breaths and calmed down his palpitations, and slowly a little bloody color on his face.

Seeing that Li Jie's situation improved, Liu Yi felt relieved, but he still asked someone to go to the shop next to him to ask for hot water and let Li Jie take a few sips, which also made Li Jie feel a little better.

Originally, Li Jie felt that he had died once and should have been open to life and death, but when he saw the heads of living people being cut off with his own eyes, he suddenly realized that he was too arrogant to him.

In fact, Li Jie's performance is also normal. The reason why those onlookers are excited to watch cruel programs such as beheading is because they know that the knife will not be chopped on their heads. If they are like Li Jie, they know that they will become ghosts under the knife in half a year. I am afraid their performance will not be much better than Li Jie.

"Cousin, what happened to you just now?" Liu Yi couldn't help asking again when he saw Li Jie's expression improve. He was not stupid either. Li Jie's performance just now did not look like he was sick, but more like he was scared?

Li Jie was extremely depressed. He was silent for a moment when he heard Liu Yi's inquiry. Finally, he smiled bitterly and said, "I was thinking, if one day I was also escorted to the execution ground and then my head was cut off by someone, I wonder if there would be so many people watching?"

"Cousin, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Yi immediately scolded him when he heard this. Li Jie's words were really inauspicious.

"Nonsense? Even if it's nonsense!" Li Jie smiled bitterly again. He didn't know how to explain such a thing.

"How could you have this kind of thought? Not to mention anything else, your grandfather was the first founding hero of the Ming Dynasty and the first prime minister of the court. Even if your relationship is not very good, as long as you have this relationship, it will not be able to go to the execution ground, right?" Liu Yi calmed down at this time and patiently analyzed to Li Jie that he was still worried that Li Jie would have any mental problems.

"So what can Prime Minister do? Cousin, have you forgotten Hu Weiyong?" Li Jie hesitated for a moment and finally said what he said in his heart. It was too painful to hold some things in his heart. Liu Yi is a trustworthy person. Maybe he can give some opinions after hearing this, after all, the bystander is clear.

"Hu..." Liu Yi was also angry when he heard Hu Weiyong's name, but soon he shook his head and said, "It's different, how can Hu Weiyong compare with your grandfather!"

"Why can't it be compared with that of the power of the prime minister? Hu Weiyong's power when he was prime minister!" Li Jie smiled bitterly again. Hu Weiyong's autocratic power exerted the power of the prime minister to the extreme, which also caused a conflict between imperial power and prime minister's power, which led to his tragic end.

"It's just different!" Liu Yi insisted again. When he said this, he seemed to think of something, so he slapped his thigh and said, "It just so happened that we will take you to a place. You will know at a glance!"

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he gave a few instructions to the coachman, and then the carriage turned and soon came to a wide street. However, the carriage stopped at the corner. Then the carriage was opened by Liu Yi. Liu Yi pointed out and said to Li Jie, "Look at what that is!"

Li Jie turned his head and saw that there was a luxurious mansion not far ahead. There were two stone lions standing in front of the tall gatehouse. However, what was even more noticeable was the long dragon in front of the gate, which was almost always lined up at the end of the street from the front of the gate.

What shocked Li Jie was that most of the people who were queuing up were dressed well, and some were wearing official uniforms. The grade seemed to be not low, but at this time they lined up in front of the mansion with a low eye. It was finally their turn that they respectfully delivered their famous posts, but the servants guarding the gate looked like they were nostrils facing the sky, and they had no good expressions towards the guests who came to visit.

"Is this here..." Li Jie also showed a shocked expression when he saw the scene in front of him. The carriage was a little far from the mansion gate, and he couldn't see the words on the plaque on the mansion gate. However, Li Jie vaguely guessed whose mansion was here.

"Yes, this is your grandfather's Korean Duke's Mansion. Look at the people in front of the mansion, all of them come to visit your grandfather. But as far as I know, no matter how heavy the gift they are, it is difficult for them to see your grandfather. At most, they will be invited in and have a few sips of tea. But even so, these people are still happy and can't even drive away!" Liu Yi introduced again.

However, when Li Jie heard this, he looked at Liu Yi with a strange look and asked, "Cousin, do you think this is a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing. Your grandfather has been prime minister for so many years, and his disciples and former officials are everywhere. The first thing that officials who have transferred to Beijing from other places is to visit your grandfather. Every year, your grandfather's birthday is not coming, even if His Majesty does not come, he will send the prince to congratulate him. Other people's iron vouchers for death can only avoid death by themselves, but your grandfather can avoid death by two deaths, and only your grandfather can have such honor in the civil and military affairs of the court!"

Originally, Liu Yi was quite dissatisfied with Li Shanchang because of Li Jie's affairs, but when he mentioned Li Shanchang's contributions and rewards, he showed an excited expression. In his opinion, Li Shanchang truly achieved the four words "a great minister".

Li Jie also smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this. Then he pointed to the dragon in front of the mansion and said, "In my opinion, these people are actually death-hunting ghosts. The more people they come, the faster our Li family will die!"

"Cousin, what do you mean?" Liu Yi also showed a shocked expression when he heard this.

"It's very simple. Cousin, have you never heard of great success..."

Before Li Jie could say the last word "the great power shocked the master", Liu Yi's face changed drastically, and then lowered his voice and said, "Cousin, you don't want to die. How can you say such words casually?"

"I'm just telling the truth!" Li Jie smiled bitterly again. However, judging from Liu Yi's performance, he should understand what Li Jie means.

However, Liu Yi did not dare to discuss this issue with Li Jie again, so he immediately ordered the coachman to leave here, and urged the coachman to hurry up along the way, as if some wild beasts were chasing them behind.

When he returned to Li Jie's house, Liu Yi pulled him back to the inner house in a hurry. Until he was sure that there were no other people around, Liu Yi said anxiously again: "Cousin, don't say that kind of words. If the Jinyiwei heard it and then spread it to the palace, you may be sent to beheaded!"

"It's just a matter of time. Cousin, you are so scared. Do you think my words make sense?" Li Jie asked with a smile.

"I..." Liu Yi hesitated for a while, and finally replied, "Actually, I heard from my father that your grandfather had never been prime minister for a long time, but he still had close contacts with civil and military officials in the court. This is simply the way to cause disaster!"

"Uncle really said that!" Li Jie was quite surprised when he heard this. It seemed that his uncle was not simple. The reason why he went home early to be a Marquis of Anle was probably because he saw through the court and even more through Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Of course, my father also said that most of the civil and military officials in the court were from Huaixi, and many of them were promoted by your grandfather. These people formed gangs in private, but your grandfather didn't know how to avoid suspicion. He would definitely suffer a great loss in this matter in the future!" Liu Yi said again. These words were all the personal words of their father and son in private, and he had never said them to others.

"Huaixi nobles!" Li Jie also smiled bitterly when he heard this. Zhu Yuanzhang was from Huaixi, and he also relied on Huaixi people to start his career in the war. The military generals, from the 24 generals of Huaixi represented by Xu Da, to the later Chang Yuchun, Fu Youde, and Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others among civil servants, were all from Huaixi. These people were collectively called Huaixi nobles.

Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the Huaixi group to conquer the world, and even more on these groups to govern and stabilize the world. But as the emperor, what he feared most was to form cliques among his ministers and thus undermine him, the emperor.

This is not because Zhu Yuanzhang is very suspicious. In fact, Hu Weiyong had already done this before, and he wanted to use the power of the prime minister to suppress the power of the monarch, but was killed by Lao Zhu, and a large number of people were implicated. Although Li Shanchang did not really do it, he had the ability to do this. With Hu Weiyong's past, Zhu Yuanzhang also became suspicious of Li Shanchang, which was also the real reason for the murder of Li Shanchang in history.

"I'm not willing! I'm very unwilling!" Li Jie felt more and more anxious when he thought of the above. He obviously did not participate in these destructive things, but he was implicated by Li Shanchang. Not only him, but his father, mother, and even his sister Dier, whom he had met before, could not escape death!

"No, even if the moths falling into the spider web have to slap a few times. Although the more you struggle, the faster you die, the more you struggle, there is at least a possibility of escaping from the net. If you don't struggle, you will definitely die!"
