Chapter 850 Young General vs. Rich Lady 153
The Regent was sentenced to beheading!
Throughout the history of the Six Kingdoms, there were clan members who were executed, but they were all executed in secret, with a foot of white silk or a cup of poisoned wine given, and no one was beheaded in public.
According to Wei Yin's thoughts, he wished he could be torn into pieces by five horses or be tortured to death by slicing in order to alleviate the hatred in his heart!
Huo Xiao also knew vaguely about the palace secrets, but he did not reveal them. If Prince Wei really let the Regent be tortured to death, that would be too much and would cause people to think too much. So in the end, beheading was decided. There was no need to wait until the autumn, and they could just kill them all directly.
Huo Xiao personally supervised the execution. Hundreds of Huo family soldiers escorted the prison van, and many people were hiding in the dark. Anyone who dared to come would never return.
The prison cart circled Wangdu City, and passers-by threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the Regent. The prison cart was pushed all the way to the Meridian Gate. At three quarters after noon, Huo Xiao threw down the order and beheaded him immediately!
Wei Shuo's entire body felt limp. If it weren't for the wooden stick behind him, he would have collapsed to the ground. He wanted to beg for mercy, but his mouth was stuffed tightly and he could only make whimpering sounds.
The moment the order fell, a warm current surged out from under his body. Wei Shuo was so scared that he peed his pants and shook his head even more violently.
On a tall building not far away, the Queen Mother stared through the half-open window at Wei Shuo who was kneeling on the ground. This man who had been entangled with her for half her life was like a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
She had always thought that this man was tall and unshakable, but now he was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, his face full of panic, and looking extremely ugly. It turned out that he was just like this!
The young prince closed the window and said softly, "Don't look at it, or you will dirty the eyes of the queen mother."
A head fell to the ground outside the window, and the sword was stained with blood.
The onlookers applauded. The Regent Princess came out from the crowd, dressed in white. She did not look very sad. She just asked her son to collect Wei Shuo's body.
As the princess's companion, it was impossible for her not to know about the little things that happened between Wei Shuo and the queen mother. She could accept Wei Shuo taking a concubine, but she could not tolerate such a disgusting and immoral thing. The two had quarreled and made a scene, and finally fell into silence. Their friendship had long since disappeared.
The children were not very close to Wei Shuo, and when he was dying, no one shed a tear for him.
Huo Xiao was originally worried that someone would kidnap the prisoners and cause trouble, so he wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the remaining forces of the Regent. Unfortunately, no one was willing to risk their life for the Regent.
Even his two sons had numb expressions. They collected the corpse and left silently.
The regent died, and everyone in the palace was exiled.
Marquis Wenxin lost his official position and stayed at home without going out.
Gou Xun was imprisoned for several days and suffered a lot of torture. He confessed everything, but before the final verdict came down, he committed suicide in prison.
Gou Xun died, and Huo Xiao did not kill all the Gou family. However, after this incident, it would be difficult for the Gou family to rise again.
Hua Zhongyan resigned, saying that he was old and frail, and had failed to detect the regent's evil ambitions sooner, which made him feel ashamed of the late king.
Hua Yao ran to Huo Xiao's house and apologized, which was a great honor for him. The whole Wangdu City knew about it.
The three great families have been passed down to this day, and have not been without ups and downs. The gains and losses of one person are not important; what is important is the inheritance of the entire family.
"My father is old and confused! He was deceived by the villains and followed those students to make trouble! The general is brave and unparalleled, serving the country and the people. He is clearly a pillar of the country! If anyone dares to say anything bad about the general in the future, the Hua family will be the first to not let him go!"
Hua Yao knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "Although a son should not criticize his father's mistakes, my father did make a mistake. I apologize to the general on his behalf! My sister has admired the general for a long time. She is waiting outside the door now. As long as the general agrees, she is willing to serve the general as a slave."
Huo Xiao winked at Huo Chi next to him, Huo Chi rolled his eyes and went forward to help the man up.
Hua Yao sat down, feeling very ashamed, "General, you are so righteous, I am ashamed of myself. General, please forgive us for the past. From now on, the Hua family will obey your orders and be loyal to your majesty together."
"Xi'er, why don't you come over and greet the general?"
Hua Xi was dressed up. If she was to marry Huo Xiao in a proper manner, she would naturally be happy. But now she was sent here like this. To put it bluntly, she would be a concubine. She has been proud and arrogant since she was a child. How could she be happy?
But the Hua family raised her, and now it's time for her to repay them. Her brother has come to them begging for mercy, so she can only do this.
Besides, what my brother said makes sense. If she enters the general's mansion first, as long as the general is attracted to her, she will definitely become his wife in the future given her family background and talent.
Hua Xi bowed and said, "Xi'er is willing to serve the general. Please accept Xi'er."
Huo Xiao was speechless. Why do these aristocratic families like to make use of women so much? They ask women for marriage when they are in power, and give women away when they are out of power and need help.
He had no intention of doing anything to the Hua family, so it seemed as if he was going to forcibly seize the woman.
"I don't need anyone to serve me, Miss Hua, please go back."
Hua Xi raised her eyes with tears in her eyes. She had lowered her status like this, but Huo Xiao still didn't want her?
Hua Yao was also getting anxious, and kept winking at Hua Xi, "Xi'er, why don't you come over and pour tea for the general?"
Hua Xi bit her lip, stood up and stood beside Huo Xiao, holding the teapot. Her hand shook and the tea spilled all over Huo Xiao.
Her face turned even redder, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, but she had to bite the bullet and continue acting, "General... the general's clothes are wet, Xi'er will help you change clothes."
"Wow! It's so lively here?" Ji Yunhuan came out with a swagger. There were two seats at the top. Huo Xiao sat in one, and Ji Yunhuan also sat down. There was a square table between them.
Ji Yunhuan knocked on the table, "Miss Hua is pouring tea herself? Pour me a cup too, thank you."
Hua Xi held the teapot, and it was neither pouring nor not pouring.
Ji Yunhuan pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to be a slave in the mansion? How can you serve the general if you can't even pour tea?"
"Xiao Chizi told me that there is a beautiful girl who is going to be a maid in the mansion. She asked me to come and see if I was satisfied. When I saw her, I was very satisfied. I like beautiful girls. It is also pleasing to play with them. The general is not romantic, but I am different. I am the most sympathetic to women."
"You came into the mansion with me, and I won't let you do these rough jobs. Your Hua family has fallen on hard times, and even you have to find work. Don't worry, I will pay you monthly as a first-class maid, and I won't treat you unfairly."
Hua Xi burst into tears immediately. "You...you are talking nonsense! I am not here to be your maid! You are bullying me like this. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"
"General Huo, the Hua family has disciples all over the world, and they sincerely want to befriend you. This girl comes from the countryside and has no knowledge of etiquette. Are you just going to let her do whatever she wants and bully me?"
Ji Yunhuan took out a handkerchief to wipe Hua Xi's tears, "Why are you still angry? I'm telling the truth. You wanted to be a maid, how could that be an insult to you?"
"If you want to be a maid, I welcome you, but if you come to seduce my man, I won't be happy! I don't like sharing men with others. I have a bad temper and I hate it most when others covet my things!"
