Chapter 244: Evil Will Be Rewarded
Su Chenyu looked at Yao Minzhi and said, "As for Yao Minzhi, kick her out of the house and don't allow her to take anything with her."
Yao Minzhi looked at Su Chenyu incredulously: "Why?"
“Given all the serious crimes you have committed, not killing you is the greatest mercy.” Su Chenyu kept her alive for other reasons. After all, all the members of the Yao family had to be killed together.
Su Chenyu changed the subject and said, "Yao Tingzhi and Yao Mingzhu have done a great job this time. This princess is not unreasonable. If you want to stay here, you can continue to stay."
Things have come to this point, and there is no need for Su Chenyu and Li Liyanqing to stay any longer. After they left, Li Liyuan patted Li Liting on the shoulder and said, "It's time for you to take charge of the affairs of the Second House."
Looking at Li Liyuan's leaving back, Li Liting was stunned for a moment. What else could he do?
In just the time it took to eat a meal, the situation in Lili Prefecture changed completely.
Although the old lady was rescued, the toxin was difficult to completely eliminate. Although the toxicity of Datura was slow to develop, it was very potent. The toxins remaining in the old lady's body made her feel as if she were being bitten by ants day and night.
For the first time, the old lady had the thought of committing suicide.
But Zhang Dabiao sent someone to tie her up. Seeing the old lady struggling and begging for a quick death, Zhang Dabiao showed no mercy. Such a wicked person should die in agony!
Li Yuan was also not idle. He eliminated several secret agents planted by the Western Xia in and around the capital of Dayu overnight and captured many of the Western Xia's secret guards.
When attending court the next day, Li Yuan reported to Emperor Jing of Wei that the Song family had defected to Rong Ruo and that Rong Ruo had colluded with Western Xia.
This time, with both witnesses and physical evidence available, Emperor Jing of Wei began to feel vaguely worried.
Now Beirong Shangyu and Xixia have joined forces, but Rong Ruo has obviously already cooperated with people from Xixia. Her move must be to support her royal brother, the current Beirong Prince, as the next Beirong King.
If the new king ascends the throne, will it be far before Beirong and Xixia join forces?
㳔At that time, Beirong and Xixia attacked Dayu at the same time. Could Dayu cope with it?
"Lock Rong Ruo up and cut off all contact with the outside world." Emperor Jing of Wei still couldn't touch Rong Ruo. The current situation of Northern Rong was unclear, and killing Rong Ruo was not a wise move. "As for the Song family, they are traitors to the country and their nine clans must be executed. No one should be spared. Especially Song Qingxuan, who was so bold that she dared to assassinate the Duke and the Prince Consort. Sentence her to be buried with five horses."
Li Yuan was not surprised by Emperor Jing of Wei's order. The emperor had always been conservative and it was impossible for him to kill Rong Ruo.
Li Yuan was originally going to leave the capital today, but because of this incident, Emperor Jing of Wei asked him to stay in the capital for a few more days to deal with it before leaving. The Song family, which was far to the northwest, was directly handed over to the Northwest Army for disposal.
Song Qingxuan did not wait for the news of Li Yuan and Li Yanqing's death. Instead, she waited for the news that she was sentenced to death by being boiled in five horses, and suddenly fainted.
When she woke up, she found herself lying on the execution ground, with hemp ropes wrapped around her limbs and neck, and the other ends of the ropes tied to five horses.
"No, no..." Song Qingxuan wailed weakly.
"Execute!" With the executioner's order, five horses were driven by the soldiers in five different directions.
"Ah..." Before she died, Song Qingxuan experienced the pain of having her limbs and head torn from her body. She didn't even have time to regret it, and she left this world forever in agony.
This was the first time since the founding of the Dayu Dynasty that the Song family had been sentenced to death by five horses. This showed how heinous the crime they had committed this time was.
