Chapter 316: Put out the fire, that's our son
Luo Ranran looked at the yellow chrysanthemum on the high platform. Her petite and soft body leaned in Lian Jin's arms, and she raised her little feet excitedly.
"Hehe, calculate the time, the drug is starting to take effect."
Lian Jin's mouth corners curled up, he was also looking forward to it.
As Nangong Yetian spoke, he pretended to pull Huang Ju up, but was unexpectedly pushed away by Huang Ju in disgust.
"Don't touch me. Nangong Xin has almost reduced me to dust. You keep warning me. Why don't you warn Nangong Xin?"
At this moment, Huang Ju's eyes turned red, his head swelled, and he could no longer suppress the resentment and anger in his body.
Nangong Yetian was stunned for a moment, feeling puzzled, and then he ordered with a serious face: "Madam, I will give you three numbers, take Nangong Xin home immediately."
"Ugh!" Huang Ju was extremely indignant. She stood up and snorted at Nangong Yetian. "You stinky man, you have no ability at all. You just like to do shady and dirty things. You said that if I marry you, I don't have to worry about anything. I just need to be the mistress of the house."
"But what about you? How did you do it?"
"Huang Ju!" Nangong Yetian's eyebrows jumped and he immediately scolded, "What on earth are you talking about? If you want to complain, go home. This is not the place for you to complain."
Huang Ju angrily threw up his sleeves, "Why can't I post it? Are you afraid that I will accidentally expose your past?"
"Shut up!" Nangong Yetian's face was distorted. He slapped Huang Ju in the face and knocked her to the ground on the spot. His ferocity scared the onlookers and made them sigh.
In this situation, the four elders could no longer sit still. They looked at the clansmen with shining eyes in the square, then looked at Nangong Yetian's family of three, and rubbed their brows helplessly.
"Chief, it's almost three quarters past noon, don't delay the fire sacrifice."
"Also, we won't interfere in your family's affairs. If there is anything, just go home and deal with it behind closed doors."
Nangong Yetian looked at the four elders with gratitude, then waved his hand and gave orders to his confidants.
"Come here, light the firewood and burn Nangong Liu who is possessed by the evil spirit. Only when he dies, our Nangong family will prosper forever and the bad luck will go away."
Since a year ago, Nangong Liu was no longer under his control and would send people to assassinate him from time to time, causing him to be injured many times. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.
In his opinion, the uncontrollable bastards did not deserve to live, even if the bastards were infected with the life-threatening poison and only had a few years left to live.
"Yes, Chief." The subordinates obeyed the order respectfully, poured the oil evenly on the firewood arranged in a circle, threw the torch, and with a bang, the firewood burned violently.
Nangong Xin and Huang Ju had a rare moment of peace and quiet.
He looked at "Nangong Liu" who was struggling in the fire with a look of satisfaction and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Nangong Yetian narrowed his eyes and glanced at the mother and daughter with a gloomy look. Veins bulged on his fists and his murderous intent grew stronger.
Anyone who dares to embarrass him in public or expose his shortcomings deserves to die. He will chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs, leaving them without a burial place.
The scene was completely silent, with only the crackling sound of the burning fire. Some of the soft-hearted and timid tribesmen turned their heads away, not daring to look at the miserable condition of "Nangong Liu".
I don’t even want to eat the melon seeds in my hand.
Most of the other people were looking at the burning of living people with burning eyes. Not to mention, this was the first time that the Nangong family had organized a fire sacrifice in the past few hundred years.
At the moment when the fire enveloped Nangong Cheng, Lian Jin waved her small hand, and the spiritual power blocking Nangong Cheng's mouth disappeared instantly.
“Ahhhh, it hurts so much, Mom and Dad, save me, I don’t want to be burned to death, save me…Ahhhhh…”
The next second, Nangong Cheng's shrill screams resounded throughout the square.
Huang Ju's heart trembled, and he looked at Nangong Yetian hurriedly, "This... why does this voice sound so much like Cheng'er?"
Nangong Yetian frowned, staring at the man being burned by the fire, and shook his head firmly, "This is clearly Nangong Liu. Today I personally led people to bring him out of the cell."
The tattered and blood-stained clothes, the wounds all over his body, the worn and dirty shoes, and his familiar face.
It was clearly Nangong Liu.
He definitely wouldn't be wrong.
Not to mention that Nangong Liu didn't have any mask on his face. Even if he did, it wouldn't be so seamless that he couldn't see any flaws.
Huang Ju's heart was pounding, and his voice was trembling, "But I always feel very panicked."
Nangong Yetian pursed his lips and said nothing.
Wasn't he panicking?
But Nangong Liu personally supervised the servants being tied to the cross, so he would never make a mistake.
Nangong Xin rolled her eyes. "Tsk, I think you miss your son too much. If you are so worried, why don't you send someone to bring Nangong Cheng over here?"
"Yes, yes, Xin'er is right." Huang Ju's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered his men, "Come here, bring Master Cheng over."
"Yes, ma'am."
As soon as his men left, Nangong Cheng's eyes turned bloodshot, and he looked at Nangong Yetian on the platform in agony, "Ah, Dad, save me, save me, I am Cheng'er, I am not Nangong Liu, I am Nangong Cheng!"
"What?"
Everyone stared with eyes wide open, full of surprise.
"Oh my God, he said he was Nangong Cheng, not Nangong Liu, so didn't he burn the wrong person?"
"Damn, this was personally checked by the clan leader. He dotes on Nangong Cheng so much, it's not like he's face-blind and caught the wrong person, right?"
"Tsk, whether it's Nangong Cheng or Nangong Liu, there's no point in arguing about it. The fire is so big that it can't be put out at all."
“…”
Huang Ju's legs went limp, her face pale and panicked, "Cheng'er, it's Cheng'er, it's Cheng'er's voice, someone come, someone come quickly, put out the fire, put out the fire!"
Nangong Xin's eyes lit up with joy.
She didn't care whether it was Nangong Liu or Nangong Cheng who was burned, she hated both men.
It’s better to die, it’s better if everyone dies!
Seeing that the tribesmen did not move, Huang Ju was so anxious that tears fell, and looked at Nangong Yetian for help, "Woo, Nangong Yetian, please ask someone to put out the fire, that's Cheng'er, our Cheng'er!"
Nangong Yetian clenched his fists tightly, veins popping out of his forehead, and he said stubbornly, "Impossible, I have personally checked the body, and it is Nangong Liu himself."
Besides, Nangong Liu wasn't that capable enough to conceal the truth and let Cheng'er perform the fire sacrifice on his behalf.
"Ah, this voice is clearly Cheng'er, are you deaf?" Huang Ju pounced on Nangong Yetian in a rage, beating and biting him.
"Hiss—" Nangong Yetian felt pain and slapped Huang Ju away, angrily scolding: "Madman, you are a madman. Our Cheng'er is staying well at home, but it is Nangong Liu who is burned by the fire."
Nangong Yetian spoke firmly, but he was actually very panicked.
"Ah, Mom and Dad, save me, please save me quickly..."
Nangong Cheng let out a final roar, and then his voice was swallowed up by the fire. The smell of burnt flesh floated in the air, and everyone had different expressions.
Huang Ju lay on the ground and cried bitterly.
"Wow, Cheng'er, Cheng'er, my Cheng'er, Nangong Yetian, I hate you, you killed our Cheng'er."
Just then, the servant came to report.
"Patriarch, Madam, something bad has happened. Young Master Cheng is missing."
