Zhang Tong has betrayed Tuotuo, opening the East City Gate to Hama. Hama is now heading for the Imperial Palace. Despite the betrayal, Tuotuo orders the execution of the Little Ming King to proceed as planned, appearing unfazed. Meanwhile, the Deputy General attempts to recruit a messenger to assassinate Hama, but the messenger refuses. The Deputy General then decides to seek out Zhang Tong for his own future.

Back then, these people came to serve me because of my immense power; they attached themselves to authority, so they followed me. Now, seeing my power unstable, they naturally have changeable thoughts, more ideas. Lord Tuotuo understands all this.

Moreover, he knows how to resolve this matter. As long as he regains his power, these people will obediently return and continue to serve him like dogs!

These guys exist for attachment to power.

Lord Tuotuo took a deep breath; today is undoubtedly the hardest battle of his life. If victorious, needless to say, his future will be grand, but if defeated!

Lord Tuotuo sighed, quickly composed himself, regardless of the outcome, determined to see this theatrical show to its end today.

With this thought, Lord Tuotuo rose, tidying his First-Grade Flying Crane Official Robe, and then stepped out of the room.

Outside, a crowd of curious civilians had already gathered. At this moment, Lord Tuotuo walked step by step onto the high position of the execution platform, seated himself on the execution ground.

Below, officials from the Ministry of Justice were taking their roles as Executioners. Seeing Lord Tuotuo seated, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice spoke: "Bring the convict!"

With the command given, the pitiful scapegoat was dragged up.

The pitiful scapegoat was pressed onto the execution platform, kneeling there. The Executioner, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, then said, "Verify the convict’s identity."

The official responsible for records stepped forward and announced: "Han Lin’er!"

"Present!"

The convict answered; this identity verification is a crucial procedure, aimed at confirming the true identity of the convict. When asked for their name, if the convict denies it,

the presiding officials must immediately step forward to prove the convict’s real identity. If unable to prove, the person cannot be executed, mainly for fear of scapegoats.

Yet these rules, no matter how good, are useless for those officials looking to find loopholes.

Because they have their own ways of circumventing the twists and turns, after all, they are the judges; when judges want deception, no one can stop it.

The official in charge of records then thoroughly verified the identity, and promptly reported to the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice with a respectful bow: "Report to the Lord, the convict’s identity has been verified."

Hearing this, the Vice Minister nodded lightly, then looked toward Lord Tuotuo seated above; Lord Tuotuo nodded slightly.

The Vice Minister reacted, turning around to those below and saying: "Maintain silence!"

"After examination by this office, the convict Han Lin’er is a rebel leader from the Zoroastrian Sect, son of Han Shantong, the current bandit king of the Zoroastrian Sect. Today, judged by our Daqian Court, sentenced to immediate execution!"

"Prepare for execution!"

After speaking, the Vice Minister sat back at his position, picked up the bamboo slip used for monitoring executions, and promptly tossed it to the ground.

"Execute!"

With the command, an executioner stepped forward, reached for the bamboo slip listing ’Han Lin’er’’s crimes from his neck, then took his big knife. An assistant brought a bowl of clean water.

The executioner took a sip and sprayed it onto the blade.

"Pfft~"

A spray onto the knife, and then the executioner prepared to chop down, with a fine head about to roll off.

Just then, suddenly there was the sound of a crossbow arrow.

Whizz!

The arrow hit the executioner’s hand directly, and a miserable cry was heard: "Ah~"

Clang, the knife fell to the ground.

"The demon people from the Zoroastrian Sect are rescuing the convict!"

It was unclear who shouted this, but immediately the spectators below panicked, the whole scene turned into a farcical chaos.

Observing the situation below, Lord Tuotuo’s face remained indifferent, since it was he who had allowed these pure bandits in to cause chaos. The goal was to create disorder, and now it had been achieved. A shout rang out: Kill!

In the next moment, the entire execution ground descended into complete turmoil, as if rebels were everywhere, civilians fled in fright.

Lord Tuotuo looked on with satisfaction, as the attempt to stage the Demon people’s rescue scene was indeed difficult, he even had stationed government soldiers there to add to the chaos.

To make the matters more exaggerated.

Finally, after a farce, Lord Tuotuo felt it was sufficient. Originally it should have lasted longer, but today Hama caught him off guard, needing more focus to deal with Hama, here just needed to play the act to seventy or eighty percent.

Sure enough, under Lord Tuotuo’s influence, the farce quickly approached its finale.

Of course, on paper, it was the official story that under the heroic leadership of Daqian Prime Minister Lord Tuotuo, the official army captured over ten—cough cough—thousands of demon people from the Zoroastrian Sect at an minimal loss.

It could be said that the valiant Lord Tuotuo did not achieve a small victory, but rather a significant win, a resounding triumph!

After this scene, the execution resumed, this time Lord Tuotuo personally ordered the beheading, a new executioner was appointed.

The executioner lifted his knife, sprayed water, then lifted and struck down, blood spattered three feet, a fine head was chopped down by the executioner.

Seeing this, Lord Tuotuo rose and said: "Little Ming King executed, convey my order, all demon people of the Zoroastrian Sect heed well, your bandit leader has been slain. If you don’t want to die, quickly surrender to the official army, and I will see to it that a dignified fate awaits you!"
