Chapter 342: Beheading
The Great Chu Emperor did not say anything this time.
He just stood up, hugged Lu Xingwan and turned away.
Lu Xingwan gently patted the Great Chu Emperor's shoulder and rubbed his neck: "Father."
[Father, don't be angry. You have such a big country, so many people, and so many officials.]
[It is certain that not everyone is as you wish, and now that they have been punished, it is all right. ]
[Let's see how he performs. If he really does make a desperate move, there is a chance that he can be saved.]
The Great Chu Emperor smiled, touched Wanwan's little head, and felt very satisfied.
No wonder Qingyan is so cheerful all the time. With such a caring daughter around, how can she not be cheerful?
In the future, I should keep Wanwan around more often.
Early the next morning, the news that Old Lin was going to be beheaded quickly spread throughout De'an County. The most excited people were naturally the villagers in Lin Xiaochun's village.
This old forester has been doing evil in the village for a long time. The women and children in the village have been bullied by him but have nowhere to turn to for help. Now the emperor has finally opened his eyes, and Jiangzhi County can finally speak for the people.
Su Sheng had naturally heard the news outside, so he ran to his mother excitedly and said, "Mom, mom, Old Lin is going to be beheaded!"
As if he didn't hear what Su Sheng said, Lin Xiaochun, who was busy on the stove, turned to look at Su Sheng with a puzzled look on his face.
Xusheng ran forward again and pulled up his mother's sleeve: "Mom, Old Lin is going to be beheaded."
Lin Xiaochun finally heard it clearly. He opened his mouth in shock, but didn't say a word.
So fast?
As expected, that family was not simple. Their status was probably far higher than Jiang Zhixian's. I didn't expect that I would get to know such a noble person.
Come to think of it, what Sister Song said, that she could bring her man back, is not impossible.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaochun wiped his hands, squatted down and looked at Su Sheng: "Su Sheng, go to the government office..."
At this point she finally paused.
Forget it. Since the other person treats me so sincerely, how can I test others?
Forget it, just wait!
Because of Song Qingyan's instructions, Lin Xiaochun did not go out, and Su Sheng followed the young and old, women and children in the village to the execution ground.
Old Lin had not yet been escorted to the execution ground, but a crowd of people had already gathered around to watch. At this moment, everyone was talking about it, and all of them were denouncing the criminal.
And Su Sheng's neighbor was standing in the crowd wiping away tears, his eyes full of excitement. This villain was finally dealt with, and his daughter was finally able to get justice.
But his daughter is gone and will never come back.
The execution was presided over by Jiang Pingyue, who had not appeared in front of the folks for a long time. With the appearance of Jiang Pingyue, the old Lintou was pushed to the execution ground with a pale face. It seemed that one could vaguely see a lot of scars on his body.
People who commit this crime are always the most hated.
So last night, this old Lin was in prison, not only was he beaten up by his fellow inmates, but even the prison guards couldn't help but whip him a few times.
At this time, Old Lintou looked terrified, looking forward with despair in his eyes, feeling what he was about to endure.
Jiang Pingyue stood in front of the crowd and bowed to all the villagers to apologize: "I owed you guys a debt in the past, and I will make it up to you in the future."
The villagers, however, did not care about what Jiang Zhixian said. Perhaps they had already lost trust in him, or perhaps they were eager to see Old Lin brought to justice. Everyone just stared at Old Lin who was standing aside.
As the executioner raised his sword, Lao Lin's life came to an end.
The crowd burst into cheers, and Lian Susheng couldn't help clapping his hands. This villain was finally brought to justice.
Without as many concerns as Lin Xiaochun, after watching the execution, Sheng rushed to the government office.
The gatekeeper in the backyard had been instructed long ago, and when he heard that it was the student who came to see Master Lu, he hurriedly brought the person in.
It was the first time for Su Sheng to enter the backyard of the government office, and also the first time to see such a large and clean house with bright windows. He opened his eyes wide and followed the servant, looking left and right, trying to take in every inch of the yard.
Walking down the corridor, he even reached out to touch the beautifully carved pillars.
If he hadn't seen it today, he would have thought that most houses were just as bright and clean as the village chief's big tiled house!
If even the backyard of a government office is so magnificent, what would the imperial palace look like?
I don’t know if my family will have the chance to live in such a big house in this lifetime. Even a big tiled house like the village chief’s will be fine.
"elder brother."
A crisp cry interrupted his thoughts. He turned around and saw Yue Wan running towards him excitedly, while Song Qingyan and Lu Xingwan who were standing behind her did not move.
He lifted Yue Wan up high in his arms and walked quickly to Song Qingyan: "Aunt Song, this is Wan Wan's sister."
Without paying attention to the surprised look from Yue Guiren behind Song Qingyan, she said happily, "Aunt Song, Old Lin has been beheaded."
"Thank you Aunt Song and Uncle Lu. My neighbor's sister can finally rest in peace this time."
Yue Guiren felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. How could His Majesty and His Majesty know this kid? He actually called His Majesty Aunt Song. More importantly, he actually called His Majesty Uncle Lu.
Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have never heard of this kind of title in your life?
Wei Cheng, who was standing aside, looked at Yue Guiren's shocked expression and couldn't help but think of the way His Majesty coaxed the child yesterday. If he had seen that, he would probably be scared.
Lu Xingwan, who was standing by, naturally noticed Yue Guiren's shocked expression.
[Yue Guiren was probably frightened by the unruly nature of the newborn. People in the palace are used to being bound by rules, so naturally they are not used to it.]
[I think it's just ordinary, which is good. ]
[The title can be ordinary, but the identity cannot be ordinary. Look, it is because of the decline that Aunt Xiaochun’s village has become like this. ]
[It is also because of his strong power that Father was able to successfully resolve the matter with Old Lin. ]
[Father, you must do more good things on this trip south, and seek benefits for your people.]
The Great Chu Emperor sat behind the crowd, listening to Lu Xingwan's mumbling, and secretly complained to himself: A few days ago you complained that I was meddling too much and delayed your going out to play!
[Mother, there are the sounds of horse hooves and a lot of people. I'm afraid Pei Chuyan and his men have arrived.]
Song Qingyan paused and turned to look at the Emperor of Great Chu behind her.
The Great Chu Emperor also spoke at this time: "Wei Cheng, go to the front and hold the people back."
He turned around and looked at Song Qingyan, signaling her to send Su Sheng and Yue Wan back first. Since Prime Minister Lin and his party had arrived, it was time to get down to business.
The Emperor of Great Chu does not want to expose himself in front of these two children yet.
