"Treason?"
"Executed?!"
The soldiers paled when they heard Ping Yang’s words. They feared for their lives. Ironically, they had planned to pin such crimes on Fang Zhengzhi less than 15 minutes ago.
But now...
These crimes were being pinned on them.
Treason!
This was a crime that would result in the execution of nine relations! [1]
All of the soldiers did not want to die. More importantly, they did not want to implicate their families. However, they were mere soldiers, and they were no longer masters of their fates.
"Mercy, your highness!"
"Your highness, please have mercy on us, we had no idea!"
"General Wang used the power and authority of the military token to command us to kill Fang Zhengzhi. We were just following orders! Please do not execute us and our families!"
All of the soldiers kowtowed and pleaded for mercy. Not a single one dared to look up at Ping Yang.
