Chapter 62

Zheng Hao's case is very serious. He persecuted countless people, bullied men and women, forced women of good families into prostitution, occupied land, and took human lives... His crimes are too numerous to list.

After the people in Qingyun City knew that Zheng Hao and his group were arrested by the Dali Temple, all the people who suffered injustice knelt at the entrance of the government office to appeal.

The dense crowd knelt for a hundred meters.

This battle is enough to prove how many evil things Zheng Hao and his group have done in recent years.

It is not a pity to die a hundred times.

The death penalty for Zheng Hao and his group is certain. What needs to be investigated now is their umbrellas and those who are in cahoots with them, because there are too many people and too many people involved, so it takes time to investigate.

It just so happens that Gu Jingchen also wants to promote Zhou Wei, so the follow-up of this matter will be handed over to Zhou Wei.

He wanted to write a memorial about Zheng Hao's case in Qingyun City and submit it to His Majesty.

There was such a great darkness hidden just a few hundred miles from the emperor's feet.

This matter could not be delayed.

Gu Jingchen wanted to go back, so he naturally had to take Ye Jingyue back with him.

On the way back, he saw a group of villagers holding torches, surrounding a fire pile, shouting loudly: "Burn him to death, burn him to death, burn him to death..."

A young man was tied to the center of the fire pile, and he was surrounded by firewood that had been set up, and a crowd of ferocious people.

An old man ran to Ye Jingyue's side and knelt down directly to her.

"Please save my son, he was wronged!"

Ye Jingyue looked at the handsome young man tied to the fire stake and gagged, and pulled the corners of her mouth hard!

[Is it over yet? What on earth does Murong Yuan want to do for the third time! What on earth does he want to do? Why is he so persistent? Could it be that he really loves me and wants to chase me?]

Ye Jingyue is not narcissistic, but Murong Yuan has done it again and again!

She asked herself, she didn't show anything in front of Murong Yuan!

How come he was remembered ? She

couldn't help but wonder how delicious this piece of meat was.

Moreover, this posture was almost the same as when he saved Xiaoyu .

She reasonably suspected that Murong Yuan was imitating Xiaoyu's experience.

Gu Jingchen couldn't help laughing. This Murong Yuan was really persistent, and his moves were getting more and more outrageous!

As for Ye Jingyue's question about whether Murong Yuan liked her...

Gu Jingchen wasn't sure.

But he was sure that Ye Jingyue didn't like Murong Yuan.

If Murong Yuan hadn't been recognized by Ye Jingyue, he could have covered up what he did, but he was recognized by Ye Jingyue every time. All these things added up made him look very... low-class.

Ye Jingyue looked at the old man leisurely.

"Oh, what happened to your son?"

The old man said quickly, "My son was hunting in the mountains and encountered a tiger chasing a woman, so he bravely killed the tiger, but the villagers in the mountains insisted that the tiger was captive, and my son was wrong to kill the tiger, and now he is going to be burned to death!"

Ye Jingyue blinked, with an innocent look on her face.

"Wow! Your son looks thin and weak, but he can actually kill a tiger!"

The old man nodded quickly.

"And he killed it with his bare hands. My son is very brave!"

The old man just said what his employer said, and he must make him look extremely brave.

Killing a tiger with bare hands, isn't it brave enough?

Ye Jingyue waved her hands in admiration: "It's amazing! It's really the modern Wu Song, I admire you!"

"Miss, please be kind and save my son, he is about to be burned to death!"

"How can I save him?"

At this time, the villagers who were preparing to burn the man to death came over, looked at Ye Jingyue, and said with a frown: "If you want to save him, he killed our captive tiger. You can either pay with your life or money!"

At this time, the cloth stuffed in Murong Yuan's mouth fell down, and he shouted to Ye Jingyue: "Girl, save me. As long as you are willing to save me, I am willing to work like a cow and a horse to repay you!"

The villagers echoed: "One hundred taels, only one hundred taels!"

Ye Jingyue spread her hands helplessly: "I really want to save him! But I have no money!"

Then she said to the villagers: "I think your behavior is right. He killed your tiger. If you have no money to compensate, you can pay with your life. It happens that I have never seen a living person being burned. Let me see it first."

The villagers were dumbfounded.

Murong Yuan, who was tied up and was replicating Xiaoyu's experience, was also dumbfounded!

What

's going on? Why is the direction wrong

? Xiaoyu is obviously like this, and she got her mercy and justice, and then she took him in.

Why did she want to burn him to death when she came here

? What's going on?

Murong Yuan realized that something was wrong even if he was slow to act.

Why did he fail once, twice, and three times

?

Something is wrong! It's very wrong!

Ye Jingyue looked at the dumbfounded villagers and the dumbfounded Murong Yuan, and urged impatiently: "Hurry up and burn it, don't waste my time, I still have to hurry."

The villagers looked at each other, and it was a bit difficult to back down.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Murong Yuan. They were all invited by Murong Yuan to act, and they were all here to deceive Ye Jingyue's sympathy.

Obviously, this pretty girl had no sympathy.

So, should they continue to act?

The villager who approached Murong Yuan with a torch asked Murong Yuan cautiously.

"Burning?"

Murong Yuan glared at him fiercely!

What are you burning ?

He was not looking for death!

But he still wanted to bet on Ye Jingyue's kindness in the end!

So he gritted his teeth and lowered his voice.

"Burn!"

He just couldn't believe that Ye Jingyue, who was so righteous when she saved Xiaoyu, could watch him die in silence!

He was betting!

Betting his life!

He dared to bet, but the villagers holding torches didn't dare!

"You are playing such a big game. If you really burn to death, we will be in trouble. If you want to burn, you will be burned, not me."

He threw the torch and ran away.

Originally, he was paid to perform a play, which was not painful and could make a fortune.

Now if he continued to perform, it would escalate to human life, so he decided not to play anymore.

Probably because he felt that the direction of things was too weird, he didn't control the strength of throwing the torch well, and threw it directly on the wood.

The wood was all dry wood, which was particularly flammable. Almost in an instant, the flames shot up to the sky.

The villagers watching were terrified.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"

Murong Yuan was suffocated by the flames. He could feel that his life was in danger, but he didn't forget to take a final gamble and looked at Ye Jingyue with pitiful eyes.

"Help...save me...help!"

Ye Jingyue was so scared that she quickly kicked the frightened horse.

"Cousin, it's none of our business. Let's run away to avoid getting into trouble."

So, the last image left for Murong Yuan, who was about to suffocate in the flames, was Ye Jingyue running faster than a rabbit...
