Si Jinyue was standing on the prison van, and suddenly saw a person lying on the ground in front of the teahouse door through the crowd.
She saw that the man had thin cheeks, sunken eye sockets, and a blood stain on the corner of his mouth. He was struggling to crawl towards her!
Yes, crawl!
This person was none other than Zhou, who had just fallen from the stairs on the second floor of the teahouse!
Only now did she realize that Mother Liu had told Si Junshan everything she had done before!
Otherwise, Si Junshan would not watch Yue'er die!
She endured the pain in her body, lay on the cold ground, and moved forward little by little with her elbows.
Seeing this, Si Jinyue felt sore in her eyes and tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably!
She wanted to rush over and help her mother up. She struggled to break free from the shackles and shouted:
"Mother!"
But her struggle earned her a whip from the guards!
She was roughly pulled down from the prison van by the officers and forced to kneel before the executioner.
When Si Jinyue could no longer see Zhou, she turned her gaze to Si Junshan.
She couldn't believe that the father she had called for eighteen years could really bear to watch her being beheaded?
Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Zhu Jingchuan said solemnly:
"Today, I have been ordered to oversee the execution. All officers, please secure the area and keep all outsiders away!"
A dozen yamen runners immediately guarded the open space in front of the teahouse.
Upon seeing this, the onlookers immediately scattered like birds and beasts and squeezed into the nearby streets.
No one noticed that Zhou was lying at their feet, and they were stepping on her one after another.
Until there was no one else in the open space, Zhou had already been trampled to the point of spitting blood and could no longer move.
She forced her head to hold it up, wanting to call Si Junshan, but she heard the executioner say:
"The prisoner, Si Jinyue, has committed murder and adultery. He has been identified. It is three quarters past three in the afternoon. Behead!"
Two yamen runners stepped forward and grabbed Si Jinyue, intending to drag her to the beheading stone.
Si Jinyue looked at Si Junshan with a pale face and said:
"Father! Please save my daughter! I am Yue'er!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two yamen runners looked at each other, and then looked at Si Junshan with some embarrassment.
After all, this is...the daughter of the Marquis Dingguan.
When the onlookers saw this, they all started talking about it.
Everyone wants to see if General Si is really impartial and will sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice?
Or will he commit favoritism and corruption and save people from the execution ground?
Si Junshan looked at Si Jinyue with a gloomy face and said loudly:
"Last night in the palace, I told the Emperor that you and I have long severed our father-daughter relationship.
I know all the wrong things you have done.
You've attempted to murder your sisters multiple times, and were involved in a murder case ten years ago. How can I tolerate this?!
Today, I am sitting here to watch the execution, which clearly shows my attitude! "
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Jingchuan and said:
"Master Zhu, this is all I want to say.
You may proceed."
Zhou, who was lying on the ground, vomited blood upon hearing this.
He really knows everything...
Not only did he not save people, he even sat there and watched the execution...
Si Junshan, he has such a cruel heart!
At this moment, there was no trace of blood on Si Jinyue's face.
Her head was pressed onto the guillotine, facing the direction of the teahouse.
At this moment, Si Jinyue suddenly saw Si Jinxing at the second-floor window.
She clearly saw a smile of revenge on that man's face!
Zhu Jingchuan threw the fire order to the ground and said:
"cut!"
With the sound of a gong, the executioner with a red belt around his waist picked up a bowl of wine, held it in his mouth, and sprayed it onto the ghost-head sword with a "puff" sound!
Zhou looked at her daughter on the guillotine and smiled at her.
Her heart felt as if it had been pierced deeply by a sharp knife, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
Zhou stretched out her hand towards Si Jinyue and shouted hoarsely:
"Yue'er, Yue'er..."
At this moment, the executioner shouted loudly: "Don't look back on the road to the underworld!"
The ghost-head knife fell, and a blood-stained human head rolled to a place not far from the door of the teahouse.
Zhou looked at the head so close to her, and felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave!
Her whole body was shaking like a sieve and she wanted to scream, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't say anything!
The executioner strode over, picked up the still steaming head, and said to Zhou:
"We can take the body away soon, don't worry!"
As he spoke, he turned and left, the head in his hand swaying, and blood gushed out from the wound.
Zhou's eyes widened as she watched the people around her pointing and talking. The Jingzhao prefect and Si Junshan were gathered together discussing something, while the yamen runners washed the blood off the beheading stone with clean water...
No one helped her daughter to cover her with a straw mat...
Zhou felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and the pain made her unable to breathe.
She has nothing left...
The crowd on the street gradually dispersed.
Si Jinxing walked out of the teahouse, looked down at Zhou, and said:
"Mrs. Zhou has finally met my elder sister. It's time for us to return home."
Upon hearing this, Zhou pleaded:
"Second Miss, take Yue'er back.
She has no children and your father doesn't care about her, so I am the only one who can help collect her body.
After all, she is also the daughter of the Si family and your elder sister!
I want to bury her properly and let her rest in peace."
