After all, most of them have been honest farmers all their lives. How could they have ever seen such a scene?
They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they stammered and couldn't speak.
"Whoever helps to light the fire will be rewarded with an extra ounce of silver."
Sure enough, no one who could follow up could resist the temptation of money.
The sturdy man was the first to agree with him: "I am willing to serve you, Master He."
Once there was one, there would be another. Others followed suit, saying, "That's right, burn this whore to death. Otherwise, what will happen if all the women in the village follow her example? Then all the men in the village will end up marrying sluts, right?"
Their words were heated, each one louder than the last.
There were flammable firewood and straw piles under her feet. Any spark that touched them would instantly ignite them and engulf her in flames.
No matter how calm she was, she couldn't remain calm now that her life was threatened.
She looked at the familiar faces, looking at them in panic and helplessness. Those people were the ones she had rescued, but no one stood up to help her.
But they both lowered their heads and didn't dare to look into her eyes at all.
"ignition!"
Several young men came forward and lit the pile of firewood under her feet.
The fire spread very quickly, and soon there was thick smoke, which choked her and made her cough repeatedly. However, because there was a rag stuffed in her mouth, she couldn't cough at all, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Just when she was in despair, "whoosh", a sharp arrow flew through the air and hit one of the men right in the forehead. He fell to the ground and lost his life instantly.
Everyone looked over in horror and saw a handsome man riding a tall horse, leading a large group of soldiers in armor, rushing towards them.
Chi Yu looked at the scene with bloodshot eyes. A huge sense of panic overwhelmed him. He jumped off his horse and rushed forward regardless of anything.
The silver-armored guards behind him also ran over. Fortunately, the fire had not yet spread to her feet, and they quickly put it out.
Chi Yu rushed in like a madman and cut the rope on her body with a dagger. Tang Wan couldn't bear it and fell on him.
He felt the light weight in his arms, and his heart was about to break. He carefully took the rag out of her mouth and stroked her back with his big hands: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being late."
He looked at this group of fools with red eyes. The timid ones had already knelt down in fear and said, "Sir, please spare my life."
"Sir, this is a prostitute who got pregnant before marriage. According to custom, she must be..."
"Puchi." Chi Yu stabbed the man in the throat with a sword. He looked indifferent. Blood splattered on his face, but he seemed not to feel it at all. The expression on his face did not change at all.
Everyone screamed in surprise and wanted to run down the mountain, but the silver-armored guards surrounded them and their cold blades stopped them from running.
He Yi finally couldn't help but speak: "Sir, my father is He Jian. You can go to Qingshui County and ask around. This little bitch offended me, and I only gave her a minor punishment."
Chi Yu picked up Tang Wan by the waist. Tang Wan was too weak to hug his neck. He lifted Tang Wan up carefully, and her face was buried in his arms. From a distance, it looked like her whole body was embedded in his arms.
He winked at the people around him, and one of the silver-armored guards immediately kicked him to the ground.
Chi Yu stepped heavily on his face with his boots, and his tone was as sinister as a ghost asking for his life: "You bunch of fools, you are so bold to make up stories about my queen like this."
When the villagers heard his self-proclaimed name, they were so frightened that their minds went blank. They knelt down in large numbers and shouted, "Long live His Majesty, we pay our respects to His Majesty."
They, they have touched His Majesty's woman, the Queen. It's over, everything is over.
He Yi was still stubborn and said, "Is there any evidence to prove that you are the emperor? I tell you, if you pretend to be the emperor, you will go to jail."
There were also people in the crowd who were hoping for a lucky break. Yes, what if he was just making threats verbally and was not really the emperor at all?
But the next moment, the appearance of the token forced them to believe it. Some people panicked and tried to escape, but were killed by a sword.
Now, no one dared to run away.
"Chengdu."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Everyone involved in this incident today will be hanged, including their families. No one will be spared."
When Tang Wan heard this, she grabbed his collar anxiously: "No, don't kill..."
After she finished speaking, she could no longer hold on and passed out.
Chi Yu used trembling hands to check her breathing. It was okay, okay.
But even though she was breathing, Chi Yu didn't dare to delay any longer: "Go to the clinic."
Those people thought they had escaped and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Chi Yu's next words made them lose all their blood: "Lock up these untouchables first, including their families, and don't let any of them go."
This time everything is really over. Aunt Liu sat on the ground in a daze. Her son Dalang still had to take the imperial examination, but now that he was here, everything was over.
"Brother officer, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home. Please let me go." The strong man who had shouted the loudest just now knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, without any image at all.
"It's okay. Both your eighty-year-old mother and your three-year-old child will be locked up. Then, won't your family be reunited?"
Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows, killing someone and destroying their heart.
The man wanted to say something, but Cheng Ke frowned and said, "Shut up if you don't want to die." He was so noisy.
