Chapter 242 - execution (3)
The flames burned, and in an instant, only a little ash was left.
“Place this article in the Arsenal and keep it safe.” Emperor Sheng Wen ordered.
“It’s Your Majesty. ” Eunuch Zhu replied.
He took Xia luoran’s article and left.
“This is my good Prince, my good Princess. You clearly know the answer in your heart, but you don’t dare to say it out loud. I am very disappointed!” Emperor Sheng Wen’s face turned even colder.
“How’s Zuo liangcai’s family doing?”
“They’re all in the residence, very honest. ” Eunuch Liang said.
“Since you’ve served me all these years, I’ll let them live.” Emperor Sheng Wen said.
“Pass down my order. Zuo liangcai’s family will be demoted to commoners. They are to leave the capital city within three days. Without my order, they are never allowed to take a single step into the capital city.”
“It’s Your Majesty. ” Eunuch Liang replied.
At the market.
Xiao ran and Shen Yiming were walking together, looking at the commoners on both sides of the street. Even with the Imperial Army maintaining order, there were still many commoners who came after hearing the news.
He threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and other things at Zuo liangcai, who was in the prisoner carriage.
Angry curses came one after another, and they simply couldn’t stop.
“This is the outcome of having a bad reputation,” Shen Yiming sighed.
Xiao ran remained silent.
As time passed, more and more people rushed over.
In the end.
The number of Imperial Army soldiers increased once more, and only then was the situation stabilized.
However, even though more rotten eggs and rotten vegetables were thrown at him, Zuo liangcai still faced them calmly. No matter whether he was scolding him or mocking him, there was no change in his attitude.
In the crowd.
A woman in white, wearing a bamboo hat, saw this scene. Her hands, which were hidden under her sleeves, were tightly clenched together. Her face was ashen as she looked at the people around her. She wanted to stop them immediately.
Beside her stood an older woman, who was also wearing a bamboo hat to hide her face.
However, her temperament was more mature. She was like an ancient well with no ripples as she calmly watched this scene.
Seeing that The Woman in White was about to lose control, he reached out and pressed on her shoulder.”Calm down. Your father has been an official for so many years. It’s impossible that he doesn’t have any backup plans.”
“Master, I …” The Woman in White said.
“No matter what, he’s still your father. Even though he owes you a lot over the years, he’s already done his part as a father. Other people can hate him, but you can ‘t. That’s why I brought you here. ” The older woman said.
The two women continued to watch. As the carriage moved forward, they followed.
They arrived at the market.
Xiao ran and Shen Yiming stood at the side and looked at Zuo liangcai, who was being escorted onto the high platform. His hands and feet were tied up, and there was a long wooden board stuck on his back.
“Do you think someone will come to save him?” Shen Yiming asked.
Xiao ran glanced at the crowd and used his spirit clear eyes. He retracted the golden light and scanned the crowd.
Some experts were hidden among them, and there were many of them.
What caught his attention the most were the two women, one older and one younger. They were both in the mystical Grandmaster realm, and the older woman was even in the eighth tier of the mystical Grandmaster realm.
It was even stronger than the Howling Moon Wolf King.
However, from their positions, it was obvious that they were not on the same side.
“I will.” Xiao ran laughed.
“You’re so sure?”
“No matter how bad a person is, he still has three to five friends. He had been an official for many years and had helped many people. To these people, he was their benefactor. Even if some people were ungrateful and forgot his kindness, or felt that he had no value and simply ignored him. However, there are also some people who are very persistent and value kindness very much. Even if they have to pay with their lives, they will repay his kindness. ” Xiao ran said.
“You see it clearly, but I still hope that there will be less killing and more peace.” Shen Yiming said.
“Execute!” Seeing that it was already noon, Zhu Jian grabbed a token and threw it on the ground.
The executioner took a sip of wine and spat it on the blade. He wiped it clean with a cloth and raised his hands.
Under the sunlight.
The blade was shining with a cold light.
The next moment.
He used all his strength and slashed down.
The world turned dark.
A cold light broke through the air and destroyed the blade. The huge force killed the executioner as well.
Then …
The people hidden in the crowd quickly rushed out.
“Save the Prime Minister!” Someone shouted.
Dozens of figures flew out and charged toward Zuo liangcai.
Qin Fangzhen and Zhu Jian looked at this scene with cold eyes. Zhu Jian sneered,”This group of evildoers really won’t give up. I knew they would come to the execution ground!”
He looked at Qin Fangzhen.
“Together?”
“Yes.” Qin Fangzhen responded.
Zhu Jian ordered,”don’t let a single one go. Kill all of these remaining people.”
The surrounding dragon blood Warriors, Imperial Army soldiers, and the sacred martial division and divine sword guards all charged forward and began to fight.
The surrounding commoners.
When the change occurred, they fled in fear.
“Be careful,” Shen Yiming reminded.
“You too,” Xiao ran said.
The two of them rushed forward without any further delay.
The white-robed woman frowned.”Master, are these his people?”
“It doesn’t look like it! But since he has appeared here, he must have come to save him. ” The older woman said.
“Then what should we do?”
“Wait a little longer, there are still people around.”
The dozens of men that had charged forward were on the verge of being wiped out by the divine sword guards and the sacred martial division.
The people hiding in the dark couldn’t sit still any longer and rushed over to join the battle.
With their participation, the battle was in a stalemate and had entered a state of white heat.
