Yang Chi'an listened numbly as they spread the news of the troubles he had caused to everyone. He knew that Qiao Xiting wanted to settle both old and new scores with him. He should have struggled to survive, but now he felt nothing in his heart.
Even the pain in my body felt numb.
The huge gap seemed to have destroyed his pride. Apart from his identity as the son of the prefect of Taizhou, he was nothing.
No one could save him.
In this case, it seems to make no difference whether he is charged with one crime or with more than ten crimes.
Anyway, he couldn't escape the charge of murder. Since he had nothing, dying was no big deal.
He remained silent and pessimistic, letting Qiao Si's voice carry over.
He was dragged by two constables to the open space in the front yard, which was large enough for those people to watch him being executed.
Six or seven constables worked together to lift a tiger-head guillotine and placed it on the side of the open space.
The crowd of onlookers had already gathered there, pointing and talking at Yang Chi'an.
They all say that he is full of evil and bullies others by taking advantage of his power.
Ten steps away from the tiger-head guillotine, Yang Chi'an, who was half-dragged and half-pulled towards him, saw Yu Shengsheng in the crowd...
Yu Shengsheng guessed Qiao Si's plan yesterday. After all, they were mother and son, and she wanted to see him for the last time.
Yu Sheng was worried that Yu Shengsheng would be discovered by Yang Li's men, so he followed Yu Shengsheng and put a veil on Yu Shengsheng to prevent Yang Li's men from discovering them and attacking them.
Yu Shengsheng felt chilled when he saw Yang Chi'an, a spoiled and willful man who disregarded human lives.
After following Yang Li, he became as selfish as Yang Li.
When he was in Tuozhou, Yang Li ignored the people like this, and Yang Chi'an became equally selfish under his influence.
However, people like Yang Li were too good at pretending and currying favor with the powerful. Yang Chi'an only learned Yang Li's selfishness, and he was so self-righteous that he thought Yang Li was his greatest support. In the end, he was treated as a dispensable pawn.
Sad, pitiful, and...deserved.
Yu Shengsheng's feelings for him had long since faded away in those years. Now, seeing his miserable appearance of being abandoned, she could only watch in silence.
But she didn't expect that Yang Chi'an could recognize her with just his eyes.
What kind of emotion were those eyes?
When Yu Shengsheng recalled it later, she still remembered clearly that Yang Chi'an's eyes widened for a moment when he recognized her.
His initial surprise turned into intense anger, and later, his eyes were filled with resentment, as poisonous as a poisonous snake.
Yu Shengsheng, who was originally a little moved by his recognition of her, became completely indifferent.
People are probably just like this, fickle.
Even though he has been hurt so many times, he still cares about the so-called blood relationship.
Yu Sheng was keenly aware of Yu Shengsheng's emotional changes. She pursed her lips slightly, held Yu Shengsheng's right hand with both hands, and used her actions to silently tell her that she still had her.
Yang Chi'an didn't expect to see his vicious and useless mother in the crowd.
She was going to watch me being beheaded so coldly!
Why does she live so comfortably?
It's all because of her!
If she hadn't run away, her father wouldn't have come to Dingzhou, and he wouldn't have followed secretly! If he hadn't followed, he wouldn't have become his father's abandoned son, and he would still be the free and easy prefectural son of Tuozhou!
If she wasn't so useless and could keep her father's heart, her father wouldn't have so many concubines, and he wouldn't have those half-brothers! She was useless!
If she hadn't given birth to him, he wouldn't have suffered such injustice! Why did she have to give birth to him? Why did she give birth to him and then just stand by and watch him being questioned?
Why?!
She is clearly the one who deserves to die the most!
The moment their eyes met, a flash of dissatisfaction with Shengsheng appeared in Yang Chi'an's mind. His eyes were filled with resentment, and he didn't know where he got the strength from, but he wanted to break free from the restraints of the constable behind him and kill Shengsheng with his own hands.
He cursed and yelled, "It's all because of you, bitch! Without you, I wouldn't have been through this! It's all your fault! Why don't you just die? You should have died from that serious illness! You deserve to be abandoned and used! You bitch! Ugly woman! You deserve to die! I curse you to die like me!"
His curses were really harsh, especially when he cursed Yu Shengsheng.
Dongmei had always looked down on good-for-nothings like him, and now she saw him talking to his own mother like that, even cursing her.
At a glance from Qiao Si, Dongmei immediately stepped forward, swung her arms and slapped him twice with loud slaps.
Yang Chi'an was beaten so hard that he was dazed. Two of his teeth were knocked out, and two obvious red and swollen slap marks soon appeared on his cheeks.
Yang Liben couldn't bear to see Yang Chi'an being beheaded, so he kept avoiding his gaze. But the moment he heard Yang Chi'an speak, he realized that Yu Shengsheng was here.
The main reason he came here was to find Yu Shengsheng.
When Yu Shengsheng escaped, he took away the token of the head of the Yu family. Without the token, he had no capital to squander, to deal with the superiors, and he could no longer command the Yu family to do things for him.
In the past few years, he has been sending people to look for Yu Shengsheng's whereabouts. Not long ago, after learning that she was hiding in the Prince Qiao's Mansion in Dingzhou, he arranged his itinerary and went there secretly.
On the way, someone in the court revealed the news to him, so he thought of designing a play to kill three birds with one stone.
Who would have thought that we would lose both the wife and the army?
He quickly raised his head and looked in the direction where Yang Chi'an was speaking, wanting to find her, obtain the token, and then completely eliminate the trouble.
But he glanced around and found nothing. He was about to go in and look when Qiao Si, standing beside him, spoke up with a mocking tone, "What is Lord Yang looking for? Is there anything more important right now than seeing your son brought to justice? Is Lord Yang so heartless?"
Yang Li has always valued his face, so he just smiled and said no when he heard that, but he secretly winked at his men, asking them to capture Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Sheng had keenly sensed Qiao Si's intention when Dongmei made her move, and had already quietly retreated with Yu Shengsheng while there were many people around.
This is Qiao Si's territory. If they want to withdraw, they can naturally leave safely.
The moment Yang Chi'an spoke, some people in the crowd followed his gaze, but they didn't find that Yu Shengsheng and his disciple had already been sent out under the arrangement of Qiao Si's people.
Therefore, Yang Li's men were destined to fail in catching her.
Zhang You watched this little farce and was also worried about Yu Shengsheng. Fortunately, Qiao Si was reliable and managed to fool the situation in time.
Yang Chi'an was soon pushed in front of the tiger-head guillotine.
Life and death seem particularly clear at this moment. With the guillotine raised and lowered, a living life ends.
