Chapter 523 Build a Buddhist Hall(2/2)
But he knew that from now on, there will be no more.
He sighed, there was no way, it was better to run away quickly.
At midnight, Cao's mansion was shrouded in a quiet darkness.
The moonlight shines through the clouds, illuminating the buildings and paths in the mansion.
The entire Cao Mansion was immersed in tranquility, and only the occasional sound of patrol footsteps and the sound of insects in the distance broke through the silent night.
The trees in the mansion sway gently in the breeze, and the leaves rustled, as if they were whispering something.
Meng Yulei, this fearful person, was quietly shuttled through the warehouse of Cao's mansion.
His heartbeat was rapid, and he held a ladder tightly in his hand, planning to escape from the place while the night was dark.
The warehouse was filled with an old aura, and all kinds of items were piled up around, giving people a feeling of depression.
Meng Yulei carefully moved the ladder to the wall and prepared to start his escape journey.
He stepped on the ladder, clutched the bar tightly with his hands, and his body trembled slightly. Just as he was about to climb up the wall, suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came, breaking the tranquility of the night.
"Stop." A sharp shout sounded, and the soldiers rushed over quickly.
Meng Yulei was shocked. He had clearly confirmed that no one was nearby, so why did someone suddenly appear?
"I...I want..." Meng Yulei stuttered and tried to explain, but the soldiers did not give him a chance.
"Catch him!" With an order, the soldiers quickly stepped forward and dragged Meng Yulei down from the ladder.
His struggle was futile, he was held tightly and could not escape.
"How did you find me?" Meng Yulei asked panting.
A soldier looked at him coldly and said, "We have been watching you, and Cao Gong knows you will try to escape."
Meng Yulei's face turned pale, and he realized that his plan had been exposed.
He was taken to a room by the soldiers, his heart full of despair and helplessness.
This midnight escape plan ended in failure, and Meng Yulei fell into a more difficult situation.
He didn't know what was waiting for him, but he knew that his destiny was no longer in his own hands.
The next day, Cao Pi personally interrogated Meng Yulei.
Meng Yulei was brought to Cao Pi, and he lowered his head, looking depressed.
Cao Pi sat in the gorgeous seat and looked at Meng Yulei with a cold look. He asked, "Meng Yulei, why are you running away?"
Meng Yulei did not make any quibbling, and he knew that any explanation would not help.
Cao Pi sneered and said, "You liar, now, I can no longer tolerate your existence."
He waved his hand and signaled to the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers came forward and tied Meng Yulei up.
Meng Yulei did not resist, he knew that his destiny was destined.
Cao Pi stood up and announced coldly: "Meng Yulei was sentenced to death. Execute it immediately!"
Meng Yulei showed despair and helplessness on his face, but he did not beg for mercy. He closed his eyes silently, waiting for the arrival of death.
Not long after, Meng Yulei was taken to an empty place in the yard.
The atmosphere on the execution ground was solemn, and the onlookers watched all this silently. The soldiers took Meng Yulei to the gallows and put a rope around his neck.
With Cao Pi's order, the soldiers tightened the rope of the gallows. Meng Yulei's body struggled in the air for a few times, and then gradually stopped moving. His life ended like this.
Cao Pi looked at Meng Yulei's body and felt a little complicated in his heart.
Meng Yulei is a liar, but isn’t he a fool?
Why did he believe in the other party’s scam? It was because he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits.
He felt very cowardly.
He had the intention to let Sima Yi go, but at this time he changed his mind and had to kill Sima Yi. It would be good if he could let his son Sima Shi go.
He finally ordered Sima Yi to die, and it was executed at midnight today.
As night fell, the prison was filled with a dull atmosphere.
Several prisoners walked into Sima Yi's cell with sumptuous meals.
Sima Yi was shocked. He understood what this sumptuous meal meant.
Sima Yi showed a terrified expression on his face, and his heartbeat accelerated, trembling uncontrollably.
The jailers watched him silently, without saying a word, but put the food on the ground.
Sima Yi widened his eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "Is this... this slaughtered meal?"
His voice echoed in the silent cell.
The jailers nodded silently, and one of them said, "That's right, Lord Sima, this is your slaughtered meal."
Sima Yi's face turned pale, and his thoughts were turning quickly. He asked anxiously: "Then...what about Du Yujie? Has she been let go?"
Du Yujie is Sima Yi’s only concern, and he hopes to ensure her safety.
The jailers exchanged their eyes, one of them shook his head and said, "We don't know what Du Yujie is doing."
After saying that, they silently exited the cell, leaving Sima Yi alone facing the sumptuous meal.
Sima Yi was in a heavy mood. He knew that he had no more time. He sat at the table and looked at the delicious food, but had no appetite.
On this quiet night, Sima Yi fell into sorrow.
Suddenly, a prison guard approached him quietly and whispered: "Sir, I have something to tell you."
Sima Yi raised his head, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
The jailer leaned into his ear and whispered: "Then Meng Yulei is a liar and has been executed today."
Sima Yi's face suddenly became gloomy, his fists were clenched tightly, and his heart was filled with anger and disappointment.
He never expected that he would be deceived by the liar Meng Yulei.
The prison guard continued: "Meng Yulei, recommended by Sima Shi, should have asked you for your crime, but Cao Gong was very kind after all, so Cao Gong asked his subordinates to tell you, hoping that you have a clear idea."
Sima Yi was even more excited after hearing this.
He cursed: "Meng Yulei, this liar! My son was actually blinded by him!"
His voice echoed in the cell, full of anger and helplessness.
Sima Yi's heart was filled with regret and self-blame. He realized how stupid his trust in Meng Yulei was.
He originally thought Meng Yulei was a capable person, but he didn't expect that he was a liar and almost got his son involved.
"Okay, you should stop insulting it. There are only a few hours left in your life. Let's enjoy it." A jailer quickly accused him.
Sima Yi became even more painful, and he didn't know how his son would suffer after he died.
I don’t know if I was going to be executed tonight or if my two sons knew about it.
After a while, he was determined to eat, but he just chewed and thought about his thoughts.
He believed that Cao Pi also intended to let him go, and it was all because of this hateful Meng Yulei's fault.
This made Cao Pi even more determined to execute himself.
But if you say a thousand words, isn’t it all your fault?
Why didn’t he object when his son recommended Meng Yulei?
Cao Pi had asked the soldiers to go to Sima's mansion to upload a message, telling Sima Shi the news that Sima Yi was preparing to be executed, and also conveying the relevant situation of Meng Yulei.
