Emperor Dongling looked at Nangong Jiu and nodded.
"Li Yulin and the Xue family will be executed at Caishikou this afternoon. Do you have anything to say?"
[No, but I want to go and see it!]
Emperor Dong Ling looked at everyone again: "Jiu'er said she wanted to go to the execution ground to take a look."
Nangong Honglie was a little worried: "Jiu'er is still a baby less than two months old, and a place like the execution ground is not suitable..."
[It's okay, those evil spirits and the like can't get close to me! ]
"Jiu'er said that those evil spirits can't get close to her, so let's take her to see it. After all..."
Emperor Dongling did not say the rest of the words.
Nangong Yunxue understood and said to Nangong Honglie, "Daddy, Jiuer is not an ordinary child. If she wants to go, let her go."
Nangong Honglie nodded in agreement: "Okay, then let's go directly to Caishikou."
After several generations of people paid their respects, they left the imperial study and went out of the palace to Caishikou.
Caishikou execution ground.
When Nangong Honglie and others arrived, the secret guards of the general's mansion who were waiting at the intersection took them to a side room in a teahouse near the execution ground.
Everyone else in the Nangong family had arrived, and the old man stood silently by the window watching the execution ground.
Nangong Honglie walked forward and accompanied him silently.
After a long while, the old man finally spoke: "Lie'er, if it weren't for... we would have been the ones at the execution ground today."
“Yes, although it may not be today, but everything we face is the same.
As for that old bastard Xue Li, the Emperor has ordered him to also experience the pain of being torn apart by five horses..."
The whole family listened to the conversation between the two, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
While the father and son were talking, there was a commotion below.
The people who were being executed shouted: "Here they come! Here they come..."
The whole family gathered around the window and looked down.
I saw a team of prison vans slowly coming to the execution ground.
Standing in the first prisoner car was Xue Li, in the second car were Xue Huaian and Liu Heng, and in the third car were Li Yulin and Xue Jing...
Some people shouted, "Kill them! They use the name of the Prime Minister's Office to oppress the people, bully their neighbors, and bully us people to do whatever they want!"
"Yes, beat them to death, beat them to death..."
The people who had been oppressed by them had long ago prepared rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and even stones.
For a moment, all kinds of objects that could be thrown were thrown at the Xue family members in the prison van like raindrops.
In just half an incense stick of time, the heads of the Xue family members exposed on the prison car were in a miserable state.
After finally arriving at the execution ground, the officers and soldiers drove the onlookers away, leaving a large open space.
"It seems that there are too many people in the Xue family, so we need a bigger place."
"Yeah, I heard it's the Nine Clans."
"That's for sure. Every crime they committed is a grave offense punishable by the entire clan."
Amid the discussions of the people, Xue Li's identity was identified, dragged to the center of the venue, and then his limbs and head were tied to five horses.
At the command, five horses were whipped simultaneously, and the pain sent them running in five different directions...
"ah……"
The scene was extremely bloody.
The onlookers lowered their heads.
Nangong Honglie felt the same way, as if he was the one being torn apart, and his whole body trembled violently.
After Xue Li, Li Yulin, Xue Jing and other criminals were beheaded.
Perhaps because there were too many people being punished and there were no longer so many rules to follow, the prisoners were identified and lined up on the execution ground in batches.
The first to bear the brunt were Li Yulin and Xue Jing.
Everyone moved Nangong Yunxue and her daughter to the window. Nangong Yunxue deliberately held Nangong Jiu upright, letting her lean against her chest as if she was standing.
"Jiu'er, take another look at him. When a person dies, everything disappears into thin air."
Nangong Jiu didn't say anything. Although she was still young and couldn't see clearly, her eyes were fixed on the direction of the execution ground.
Nangong Yunxue also looked at Li Yulin, and the past events flashed before her eyes like a kaleidoscope.
When the executioner raised the knife in his hand, Li Yulin seemed to have sensed something and looked at Nangong Yunxue and her daughter.
At this moment, he had no desires or demands and smiled at the mother and daughter with relief.
The executioner's knife fell.
Nangong Yunxue and Nangong Jiu closed their eyes at the same time.
About two incense sticks later, the execution ground was filled with the bodies of Xue's family members.
The officers cleared a small area, set up wooden stakes, stripped Xue Huaian and Liu Heng of their clothes, and tied them to the stakes.
In order to complete the task quickly, the executioners quickly cut off pieces of flesh from the two men...
From beginning to end, no one in the Nangong family, except Nangong Yunxue and her daughter, closed their eyes and watched the entire process with serious expressions.
Lessons learned in blood, the price of life...
As it was getting dark, the execution was completed and the family left the room in silence and went downstairs to return home.
For dinner that night, Nangong Honglie filled each person's glass with fruit wine.
"Today is the day when all of us in the Nangong family are reborn.
Come, cheers to our new life!"
"cheers!"
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November.
On that day, the north wind was mixed with large flakes of snow, which were hitting the windows and doors with a "whoosh" sound. The snow on the ground quickly accumulated to more than a foot thick.
Chu Ruoyan paced back and forth in the flower hall in a panic.
"Husband, how can Zhan'er travel in this weather?"
Zhou Yuyao hugged her two children and looked out the window with tears in her eyes.
Nangong Honglie suppressed his anxiety and reassured everyone, "According to calculations, he should be arriving soon. It's possible that the snowstorm delayed his journey.
