Chapter 537 Luck Does Not Favor the Guilty
But then again, when something as important as that happens in life, even if you have a broad mind, you will still care a little when you think about what happened that day.
Thinking of this, Zhou Furong told her two sisters-in-law what was in her mind.
After a few people discussed it, they felt that even though other people didn't say it, they, as sisters-in-law, should also pay attention to it.
"Why don't we go talk to mother later, and let her hint at it when Sixth Brother comes back."
"I think so."
Ran Qingxuan didn't know that he had something on his mind this morning, which made his three sisters-in-law misunderstand him.
At this moment, she and Gu Yanchen were driving a carriage, and they met the Lin clan leader's family on the road. Lin Sui's leg injury had not healed yet, but he had to be carried by his family. It can be seen that he was determined to see what would happen to Qian Ming today.
Since they had met, Ran Qingxuan couldn't just watch him being carried into the city. Since the carriage had plenty of space, he invited him to sit in it.
"Chief Lin, I believe that after today, the lives of the villagers will be much more stable."
Lin Sui's face was flushed, he held his leg and said excitedly: "I thought we would never see Qian Ming end up like this. From now on, the villagers will not live in such depression."
Ran Qingxuan was also pleased for this group of people. Thinking of her planting plan, Ran Qingxuan took the opportunity to propose it.
"Patriarch Lin, there is something I want to discuss with you and Patriarch Guo. Do you have time after we return?"
"Of course there is. We are both at home recovering from our injuries. We can't go anywhere."
Ran Qingxuan smiled knowingly and continued, "Then when we go back, please ask Chief Lin to call his family members and also inform Chief Guo to ask him to call his family members and go to the grain drying ground together."
Lin Sui put away his smile, a little confused.
"Shall we call them all to the threshing ground?"
"Yes, anyone who has land at home will be invited."
"I wonder what Madam Gu's intention is?"
Ran Qingxuan didn't want to explain in detail at the moment, so he just told him the general idea.
As they were talking, the group arrived at the execution ground. There was still half an hour before the consultation time, but the place was already packed with people.
Whether in Los Angeles or the county, everyone who had been harmed by Qian Ming came.
Together with the villagers of Yongfeng Village, the scene was truly spectacular.
Ran Qingxuan was not curious about things like beheading. After all, the war zones she had been to in her previous life were sometimes even more cruel than this.
After Lin Sui got off the car, he informed Ran Qingxuan and was carried to the front by his family.
When the people saw that he was limping but still coming, they knew that it was Qian Ming who did it, and they spontaneously made way for him.
"Go to the teahouse across the street. The second floor there has a panoramic view."
Having said that, Gu Yanchen ignored the looks of the people around him, pulled her up and went into the teahouse.
Seeing that she didn't resist, I felt relieved for some reason.
Those who were bullied by Qian Ming were all honest lower-class people, and those who had a little money basically spent it to buy peace of mind.
As for the remaining extremely wealthy people, the money they lost is not worth mentioning.
Just by looking at a beheading, the inn and the outside of the inn became a clear dividing line.
There are quite a few private rooms on the second floor of the inn, and almost all of them are now full. The waiter led the two to a room at the edge and said with a smile.
"You two gentlemen are in luck. Our shop is closest to the execution ground and has the best view."
"Just bring a pot of hot tea."
Gu Yanchen took out a few ounces of silver and placed them on the table. After receiving the money, the waiter happily ran downstairs to prepare tea.
A table had been set up in the open space that had been fenced off early in the morning, waiting for the prisoners to be brought in.
Ran Qingxuan walked to the window and looked down. When Gu Yanchen approached, he first glanced at her and then turned his head away.
"Is there..."
"Qi Mingjing knows everything!"
The next second after Gu Yanchen opened his mouth, Ran Qingxuan looked into the distance and took a step back before speaking.
The hand holding the fence suddenly tightened, and Gu Yanchen's heart trembled.
"How did he know that?"
"I don't know, I just know that he wants to live in my space for a long time now."
Gu Yanchen had a complicated expression. He took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm down.
"I haven't talked to him in detail yet, but it's probably not the first day that he knows his identity."
"But I can't imagine that he has no idea at all and is willing to be an ordinary person and live his life."
Just as Gu Yanchen was about to speak, the sound of gongs was heard from the execution ground downstairs, and dozens of officers and soldiers followed him into the execution ground.
Tang En grunted as he entered the execution ground, and sat slumped on the oversized armchair without any image.
"Mr. County Magistrate, it's almost time."
Tang En wiped the sweat off his forehead and panted heavily, "Okay... bring the prisoner up here right now."
The officer nodded and shouted towards the people, "Arrest the prisoner Qian Ming."
"good…"
"Very good…"
Cheers rang out, and before the prison van even stopped, the people threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at him.
Before this, the people on the road had already greeted him once.
Qian Ming, with disheveled hair and a foul smell all over his body, was now hanging by a thread. He was pushed to the guillotine by the officials without even a chance to resist.
"You are such a black-hearted person, you should have been beheaded long ago."
"You are worse than a beast. Today we will see what will happen to you."
The crowd was outraged, and shouts and curses flooded into Qian Ming's ears like a tide.
Now he looks ashen, and his eyes are dull as he looks at the people who are shouting and calling for his death.
Tang En wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and nodded to the officer beside him.
The officer received the order and took out a thick stack of papers and read it out.
"The criminal Qian Ming committed 279 crimes in total. After the county magistrate investigated all night, the above facts are all true."
"In order to appease the anger of the people and restore justice to them, the criminal Qian Ming is sentenced to death by beheading."
The families of those who had been tortured by Qian Ming were already crying when they were taken to the execution ground.
Lin Sui forced himself to get up from the stretcher, determined to see his end with his own eyes.
"The time has come, execute immediately!"
Tang En stretched out his hand with difficulty, reached the token on the table, and threw it casually in front of the table.
After seeing the token, the executioner took the death card from Qian Ming's back and threw it away.
Qian Ming was now a little more conscious and realized what his fate would be.
At that moment, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, his legs shook, and a yellowish liquid appeared under his prison uniform.
Someone noticed it and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be afraid sometimes. Why aren't you afraid when you hurt us, the defenseless and powerless people?"
Qian Ming didn't have the chance to answer them. The executioner raised his knife and Qian Ming's head and body were separated in an instant.
Ran Qingxuan, who was standing in the elegant room on the second floor, turned his head away slightly. Just as he was about to drink a sip of tea to calm down, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside.
"The imperial edict has arrived."
When the people heard that it was an imperial decree, they knelt down in a large crowd.
"The Emperor's decree states that, starting from the day the new Emperor ascends the throne, a general amnesty will be granted to all the people."
"In all counties, towns and cities, all prisoners who have been incarcerated for less than five years shall be pardoned and their crimes shall be absolved."
Ran Qingxuan snorted coldly: "Luck will not favor the guilty."
