The Twins Fight The King'S Wasted Princess.

22. CPSK 04_02. Execution.

~ Feudal Palace ~

Unlike the Chen Daren fortress which is made of semi-permanent buildings in the desert, the feudal palace of the ministry of defense is already made of permanent buildings. This is where all the caught traders are gathered. And the merchants held captive in the fortress would later be executed in this feudal Palace.

The execution of traders also varies, ranging from the law of whipping to the death penalty depending on the level of wrongdoing.

Inside the wooden cage, Deok Man and the Merchants were split into groups. Deok Man in brackets with So Hwa and the maids, Cartan's uncle and other merchants. Chil Sook is held captive in another cage containing the men.

"Mother, mother! Mum..." Deok Man yelling. Deok Man panicked to see So Hwa trembling in fear looking in pain. So Hwa trembled limply, in the arms of Deok Man. At the moment the guards flashed in front of the holding cell, Deok Man immediately approached, and pleaded with a gesture like worship to the guard soldier.

"Sir, please call the healer." Deok Man pleads with the Guard Soldier, while worshipping. The soldier stopped in front of the cell, and looked at Deok Man.

"You're going to die soon, why do you still need a healer?!" The soldier answered Deok Man, then passed by and entered a row lined up in front of Chen Daren's desk.

"I beg of you! Darren! get Physician!" Deok Man shouted as he waved his hand towards the soldier who left earlier.

"More care." The soldier paused for a moment, turned his head towards Deok Man and returned to the line while turning his head.

"Mother!" Deok Man looked at his frightened mother and immediately approached her mother, hugging her.

"Let us out, call the healer! Darren!" Uncle Cartan shouted frantically towards the soldiers. Seeing So Hwa's condition, Cartan's uncle followed in a panic, then sat near Deok Man who hugged his mother.

"Hold on. He only saw fire. Why is he like this?" Uncle Cartan asked Deok Man. Uncle Cartan took a handkerchief from under his shirt, and handed it to Deok Man.

"When I was a baby, there was a huge fire, and according to the Physician, it damaged his lungs." Deok Man answered Cartan's uncle's question, he grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off So Hwa's forehead. Chil Sook seriously listened to the conversation of Deok Man and uncle Cartan from behind the bars of the prisoner next door.

"And you? You all right?!" Uncle Cartan asked, holding Deok Man's shoulder.

"Yes. But, from that day on, his cough worsened" Deok Man looked at Cartan's uncle. Suddenly So Hwa groaned coughing.

"He often had trouble breathing, and also, whenever he saw fire..." Deok Man looked back at So Hwa, shaking his shoulder.

"Mother!" Deok Man again cried out in panic, seeing So Hwa again trembling with a cough.

"Daren! Please, let us out!"Deok Man shouted loudly, stood up and hit the door of the holding cell. While Chil Sook again observed So Hwa's face that increasingly felt familiar to him.

Upstairs Chen Daren noticed everything that was happening in the courtyard. He stood with an angry face, his right hand holding two jade pieces that read "Sei (Death)" ~.

"What?! He burned all the evidence?!" Chen Daren was shocked to hear the report of the head soldier who captured Deok Man and his comrades.

"Yes, my lord." Answer the chief soldier who gave the report.

"I will punish them!" Yang Chen Daren said to the chief soldier.

" Ready." The Chief Warrior hurriedly led the way.

"Yang Chen Daren immediately went down the stairs. With a cruel face monitor the executions carried out in the feudal palace hall.

The traffickers have been released from custody. They were forced to sit in a row while kneeling. There were twelve traders sitting in line waiting for the punishment that afternoon. So Hwa sat on her knees while leaning on Deok Man.

"Mother Mother! Mom... Are you okay?" Deok Man frantically saw the arrival of So Hwa, trembling ter cough. Deok Man immediately hugged So Hwa tightly.

"My Lord who has been present!" Yang Chen Daren's personal bodyguard shouted. Yang Chen Daren entered the execution ground accompanied by his soldiers. Two of the ladies were standing beside his throne.

"Life Lord! Live long!" All of Yang Chen Daren's followers screeched together.

Yang Chen Daren sat on the throne with his ruthless face.

"They're diggers!" Yang Chen Daren raised his hand and swung his hand like slashing his neck. (Guangdong Province)

"Ready." The head of the soldier nodded his head. (Dialek Guangdong) The chief soldier walks towards his troops.

"The exterminator of all criminals!" The head soldier gave orders to all his subordinates using the northern dialeg.

"Ready!" Simultaneously the entire army held weapons, rushing towards the kneeling merchants.

"Ajeoohsi... Ajeoshi!!" Deok Man witnesses Cartan's uncle and three other merchants being dragged into an execution device.

Four traders were quickly arrested and their heads were loaded onto a Guillotine-shaped execution device. Uncle Cartan was among the people to be executed at the time.

[Guillotine is a tool to behead someone who has been sentenced to death quickly and 'humanly'.]

In the tense atmosphere Chil Sook prepared, silent silence he took a small knife typical of Hwarang stored behind his clothes.

"Everything is ready, my lord." The chief soldier gave a report to Chen Daren who was sitting on the throne.

Yang Chen Daren's hand went up and prepared to give an execution order. Deok Man sees Cartan's uncle about to be beheaded screaming out loud.

"Take my mom." Deok Man leaned his mother's body towards the distended merchant.

"Deokmans!" The potbellied merchant, saw Deok Man standing up and running towards the front. Chil Sook watched Deok Man's courage while tightly gripping the handle of his Hwarang-style small knife.

"I did it" Deok Man stood beside uncle Cartan's execution device. Chen Daren looked sharply towards Deok Man. (Guangdong Province)

"What are you doing?!" A soldier held onto Deok Man's shoulder and pressed him down. Forcing Deok Man's small body to kneel.

"You just have to kill me!" While kneeling Deok Man shouted loudly towards Yang Chen Daren who was standing in front of his throne.

"Deokmans! What are you doing?" Uncle Cartan, who was lying on the execution device, said quietly to Deok Man. At any moment uncle Cartan's head could be cut off if the execution knife slipped out of place.

"This is not the place to brag." Uncle Cartan looked towards Deok Man and said slowly. Uncle Cartan wants to protect Deok Man who is already considered like his biological daughter.

"But it's like that. I did it." Deok Man kneels next to uncle Cartan's execution device. His body trembled, looking at his foster father. No tears fell on his cheeks.

"I did it, The stone, the Fire... I did it all!" With a kneeling position Deok Man stared intently at Yang Chen Daren. (North Dialect)

"What is he talking about?!" Yang Chen Daren was perplexed, staring intently at Deok Man.(Guangdong Dialect)

"My lord, whatever he says...." The head soldier who was standing beside Deok Man, bowed his head to Yang Chen Daren pleading to forgive Deok Man's mistake. (Guangdong Province)

"He's just a kid... He said it without thinking. Please forgive him." Uncle Cartan also pleaded for a snag over Deok Man's mistake from inside the execution device.

"No! I did it! They're not wrong!" Deok Man shouted, while shaking his palm in a disapproving gesture. (Guangdong Province)

"Translate the words!" Yang Chen Daren pointed his finger towards Cartan's uncle, after seeing Deok Man.

"I said translate... What are you waiting for?!" Yang Chen Daren looked back at his uncle Cartan who was still face down tied to the execution device.

"He said he was responsible for everything, he made the tea block, so you just have to punish him." Uncle Cartan trembled to answer Chen Daren's questions, while occasionally turning his head towards Deok Man.

"Why did you do that?" Chen Daren asked as he pointed towards Deok Man. Deok Man who did not understand Chen Daren's question was just dumbstruck, while looking towards Chen Daren and uncle Cartan alternately.

"She asked why you did this." Uncle Cartan said to Deok Man, explaining the question Chen Daren asked.

"It.that's, I mean... If I can be honest.." Deok Man trembled sitting on his knees beside uncle Cartan.

"Don't, Deokman!" Uncle Cartan cut Deok Man's words. Uncle Cartan is worried about Deok Man's safety.

"Silence monkey..!" Yang Chen Daren shouted as he pointed towards uncle Cartan.

"Because none of this makes sense." Deok Man took a deep breath, all his nervousness disappeared. While kneeling quietly Deok Man answered Chen Daren's question.

"Translate?!" Chen Daren again showed his hand towards uncle Cartan. Chen Daren did not understand Deok Man's words at all.

"He did it because it doesn't make any sense." Uncle Cartan tremblingly interpreted Deok Man's words to Yang Chen Daren.

"It doesn't make sense?!" Yang Chen Daren shouted, his eyes glaring towards Deok Man who was confused by Chen Daren's language.

"Yes. All the merchants traveled for 12 months to get here. But, when they got here, they were banned from trading? That doesn't make any sense. All traders will waste 2 years if that happens. They will lose their livelihood! Not to mention the bad weather in the desert. Isn't that right?! Everyone here lives by trading.. But told them to come home with nothing... That's..." With complete calm Deok Man explained his thoughts to Yang Chen Daren.

"Are you questioning my policy?!" Yang Chen Daren bellowed furiously, his eyes bulging and his hands pointing towards Deok Man.

"Deokmann. He asked if the policy he was doing was to blame... Deokmans. I beg you, apologize while you still can!" Uncle Cartan trembled in fear and looked towards Deok Man. But instead of fearing Deok Man instead felt this was an opportunity to channel the opinions of traders who were imposed arbitrarily.

"People who cannot keep the trust of the people... Nor will it be able to keep its throne!" With complete calm and courage Deok Man shouted loudly to Yang Chen Daren. All the merchants who understood the Deok Man talk were shocked. Their mouths open.

"Deokmans!" Uncle Cartan cried out in fear, hearing what Deok Man said, which blatantly offended the policies of a ruler.

"Translate!" Yang Chen Daren shouted towards Cartan's frightened uncle.

"People who cannot keep the trust of their people...Will not be able to ascend to his throne." Uncle Cartan was terrified to mean Deok Man's remark to Yang Chen Daren.

"Who said that? Yang Chen Daren looked towards Deok Man.

"Where do you know that phrase?" Uncle Cartan looked at Deok Man while interpreting Yang Chen Daren's question.

"It. I read it in a book..." Deok Man muttered softly, He spoke for himself then replied.

"I trust anyone who can't appreciate his people....It is not worth standing as a leader. Maybe he has a lot of troops and oppresses others with his policies, but he won't be able to be a hero for an age." Deok Man replied trembling, I don't know where the courage he had gone. Yang Chen Daren's face looked crimson, restraining his anger. Chen Daren took a breath later,...

seriated.
