Chapter 166 You must be born into a good family in your next life
. The entire He family was executed at noon two days later.
The light was exceptionally bright these days, as if it could drive away the darkness of Ze County for many years.
With the help of Wei's army, the supervising official was willing to give face.
He gave a look.
The executioner standing behind He Hong understood and handed the big knife in his hand to Wei Shouzhong who had been waiting on the side since early morning.
Wei Shouzhong has been an honest man all his life and rarely quarrels with others.
But after learning about Xiao Niang's murder, he didn't close his eyes for two days. It seemed that he could see the bloody and miserable scene as soon as he closed his eyes.
He hated it. He
hated his incompetence.
Although the family was poor, they were often suppressed by the eldest wife. The phenomenon of favoring boys over girls is common in the countryside, but Xiao Niang is the apple of his eye.
He and Hui Niang were never willing to let their daughter suffer.
Wei Shouzhong took the big knife handed over by the executioner, without looking at the beast He Hong who was handcuffed and shackled on the ground.
He did not question hysterically.
Instead, he raised the big knife high.
Wei Shouzhong had killed before, but that was only chickens, ducks, and fish.
This was the first time for people.
But his hands did not shake.
He wanted to cut He Hong into pieces more than once.
There were onlookers in the audience.
Yu Tingwan and Hui Niang were there too.
Hui Niang was holding Xiao Niang's tablet in her hand. It was only two days later, but she seemed to have aged several years.
She looked at it without blinking.
She saw the whole He family trembling and begging for mercy.
The executioner glanced at the time and threw out the sign.
"At three quarters after noon, the execution will be carried out."
A dozen executioners swung their big knives.
The edge of the knife shone coldly.
Wei Shouzhong also chopped down fiercely.
Blood splashed on his face.
The head fell to the ground, and the knife in his hand fell with it.
Yu Tingwan's heart trembled, and he dared not look at the scene, and suddenly closed his eyes.
The crowd was noisy, and they were all cursing the He family for their crimes.
But I don't know what happened.
Yu Tingwan still caught the cry of Wei Shouzhong on the execution platform.
Hui Niang's gentle voice came from his ear.
Hui Niang stroked the tablet, as if to comfort her.
"Xiao Niang, your parents have finally avenged you."
"Next life... Next life you have to be born into a good family, but don't look for your mother. It's too hard to follow your mother."
Yu Tingwan's nose was sour for no reason.
————
After this incident, everything gradually returned to normal.
After another acupuncture, when Wei Zhao's condition was relatively stable, Ge Lao left Ze County under the witness of all the officials of the post station, and returned to the alley under the cover of Shunzi.
Thinking of the crowds and eyes,
Ge Lao did not stroll outside again.
That night, a secret passage was opened under the alley.
Every day, in the courtyard where he lived, Ge Lao would climb up from under Wei Zhao's bed through a secret passage to take his pulse.
Hui Niang and Wei Shouzhong didn't know about this.
They only knew that Doctor Ge had left and they had to find a new doctor.
Yu Tingwan said nothing.
Anyway, the doctor from the clinic had been bribed by Shunzi.
The prescriptions were all written by Ge Lao.
After Hui Niang came back, there were no more prepared dishes in the kitchen. However, the usual snacks and bird's nests were never absent.
There were often peddlers carrying shoulder poles at the entrance of the alley, and Yu Tingwan would always go to buy snacks and stewed bird's nests.
Oh, only the kind she sold.
During this period of time, many old cases were cleared up, and Ze County was as festive and lively as the New Year.
The faces of the people on the street were less numb. There was more spirit that was rarely seen before.
Next door.
Master Zhao was in deep thought and did not return until noon.
Seeing Madam Zhao drying clothes, he went to help.
Men often work at home, so Madam Zhao simply threw the clothes to him and rubbed her sore wrists.
"Aren't you taking a day off? I didn't see you when I woke up this morning. Where did you go? Is there something wrong with the academy?"
Master Zhao whispered, "No."
The couple had no secrets and always discussed things.
"I was summoned by the Minister of Justice."
Madam Zhao heard this and looked anxious.
"What's wrong?"
They were investigating a case over there, so why would they see Master Zhao for no reason?
"Is it a problem for you?"
It's no wonder she thought so.
In fact, when registering at the post station, the Minister of Justice didn't say anything, but he thought Master Zhao was not working hard enough.
Look at others.
Master Chu and the student Hu Yaozu he brought with him went out early and came back late, and when they were busy, they couldn't even drink water.
Look at Master Zhao again.
Every time he finished the work at hand, he always ran away the fastest.
"He did come with a dark face."
"But not to me."
Master Zhao: "He asked me about Master Chu's daily behavior and teacher ethics."
"He also met other teachers in private, as well as some students taught by Master Chu in the town."
Everyone knows that in Ze County, except He Xuran, the highest official is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
"If the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice mentions the registration matter to He Yushi, then the master and apprentice will be lucky."
"But from the looks of it, I guess the Chu family has capsized, and something has been leaked to He Yushi's ears, and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice has also been frustrated for this." Master
Zhao: "I'm afraid it won't take a few days for Master Chu to finish."
He didn't know He Xuran, so how could he not know Master Chu!
What he did in these years, opportunistic and flattering, was particularly despised by him.
Hearing this, Lady Zhao said that it was what she deserved.
After drying the clothes, Master Zhao had nothing to do, so he planned to teach his daughter to read.
But after looking around, he didn't see anyone.
"Where's Nannan?"
"She went to the next door."
Master Zhao: "That's perfect. I just wrote an article and asked Brother Wei to help me take a look. "
Lady Zhao stopped him.
"There are guests next door."
"Your daughter is well-behaved. She didn't cry or make a fuss when she went there. She just played with Qing Ya and will be back soon. She won't delay the Wei family's business."
"What's the point of you going there?" Hui Hui
didn't want to come back after staying there.
"Don't cause trouble for them."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhao didn't insist.
However, he was a little surprised.
"Relatives?"
"They have moved here for a while, but this is the first time I've seen relatives come to visit."
Lady Zhao: "I just took a look from a distance, and they all look good."
She reminded: "How could you forget? You helped to find out that the student Zhao Yu who was expelled was from the school. It was their family. My stepmother and her parents-in-law left for a while because of this. The next door didn't say much about what happened, and I can't ask about other people's affairs."
"They all came on foot, and they were dusty."
Master Zhao didn't care.
After all, there was no intersection.
However, he loved talents.
Master Zhao: "Wei Shen's cousin?"
"I didn't check his academic performance at that time."
"However, Wei Shen is so outstanding, he should not be bad as a cousin."
Not necessarily.
Lady Zhao: "If he is good, I'm afraid that Hu Yaozu has nothing to do with it."
"How can that Chu guy have the ability to recognize a gem."
Master Zhao: "I'd better go over and take a look."
"We are from the same alley. I have received a lot of guidance from Wei Shen these days. If I can help, I will help."
If Zhao Yu still wants to study, no matter whether it is in the town or the county,
it is just a matter of a word from him.
