In Liangzhou City, undercurrents are surging.
But the atmosphere in the backyard of the government office was relaxed.
Although Liangzhou is not as prosperous as the capital, it is not under the emperor's feet, so there is no need to worry too much about many things.
The two masters, Wu Weian and Ji Yunxi, don't care much about their servants, so the servants have been living a very relaxed and comfortable life recently.
After lunch, Wu Weian prepared to go to the execution ground.
On the side, Ji Yunxi was also instructing Baofu to prepare the carriage.
Wu Wei'an heard a few words from afar and walked over to ask, "Are you going out too?"
Ji Yunxi replied calmly: "Yeah."
Wu Wei'an then asked, "Where are you going? What's going on?"
Ji Yunxi glanced at him and said, "Let's go check out the location of the cloth shop. It's right next to the execution ground."
Wu Wei'an smiled and said, "That's perfect. Why not come along? If you're lucky, you might even be able to see a great show."
Ji Yunxi looked at the smile that barely reached his eyes, thought for a moment, and then made a guess in her mind. She didn't refuse: "Okay."
Ji Mingyan leaned over, pushing Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian aside and wedging himself between them. He put his arms around their shoulders and said, "What kind of show are you guys going to watch? Take me with you! Take me with you!"
Ji Yunxi: “…”
Wu Weian: “…”
They said they wanted Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian to take him with them, but Ji Mingyan didn't even wait for them to agree. He just assumed they agreed: "Wait for me, I'll change clothes and grab some things and come back soon!"
After saying that, he rushed back to the room.
Wu Wei'an looked at Ji Mingyan's back and asked, "Aren't you worried about what will happen to him in the future?"
Ji Yunxi sighed softly, "Why worry?" Sixth Brother always lived happily, in his own world. Aren't the people she should be more worried about Sixth Brother's friends and family? Like her and him right now.
Wu Wei'an: "That's right."
Ji Mingyan quickly changed into bright red clothes and rushed out again.
He learned a painful lesson in this regard.
In the past, when the Ji family brothers and sisters were all little kids, Ji Mingyan, who loved to join in the fun, always loved to go out with his older brothers.
But Ji Mingyan was too noisy, so his elder and second brothers often tried to get rid of him by slipping away as far away as possible when he went back to his room to change clothes.
Wu Wei'an looked him up and down: "You can go, but Sixth Brother, you can't have any poison on you."
Ji Mingyan, whose body was covered with various poisonous powders and insects, asked: "Why?"
Wu Wei'an's face was clear and righteous: "This is the rule. These things are never allowed to be brought to the execution ground."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunxi glanced at Wu Weian...
Wu Weian winked at her gently.
"Really?" Ji Mingyan trusted Wu Weian very much. Although he felt that this rule was a bit strange, he did not doubt it. After handing the poisonous powder and poisonous insects to the Poison Lady for safekeeping, he happily followed Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian to watch the show.
Before the execution, Xie Bin was sentenced to be paraded through the streets.
The cage was much smaller than usual. Xie Bin was so big that his flesh was squeezed out. It was extremely difficult for him to even move, let alone turn around.
The people of Liangzhou looked at this scene in disbelief.
Is Xie Bin, the eldest son of the Xie family, really going to be beheaded this afternoon?
At this moment, was Xie Bin really locked in a small cage with his mouth gagged?
But it was clear that before yesterday, Xie Bin was still dominating Liangzhou City, and the pretty girls in every family didn't dare to go out and would avoid him whenever possible.
After all, the miserable plight of the young lady from the Ye family half a month ago is still vivid in our minds.
But now, Xie Bin was really locked up and paraded through the streets.
This has never happened before!
The people of Liangzhou couldn't believe it for a moment, but they still followed the prison car instinctively.
But they didn't dare to throw rotten vegetable leaves at Xie Bin. After all, what if the Xie family retaliated against them afterwards?
Everyone followed subconsciously, whispering to each other in a very low voice.
"This newly appointed prefect really dares to do that?"
"Yes, I heard that the prefect attended the Xie family's full moon banquet on the night he first arrived. I thought this prefect was the same as the previous one."
"After all, I came from the capital, so it's different."
"Don't be too happy, I heard that the prefect accepted five hundred taels from the Xie family!" One of the common people held up five fingers. "But later they said they weren't satisfied with that amount, so they arrested the young master. They just wanted to take more!"
"Is this true? How do you know?"
"Yesterday, the eldest young master was arrested, and the Xie family's head flew into a rage at home, cursing the prefect's entire family, saying he took money but didn't do his job!"
"It's too early to say anything, let's wait and see."
If Xie Bin really loses his head today, it would be a great blessing for Liangzhou.
If not, that's fine too. It's the same as before anyway.
Ji Yunxi and his group's carriage happened to meet Xie Bin's parade troops.
Ji Mingyan pulled open the car curtain, half of his body got out, and looked at Xie Bin for a few seconds.
Then, when he saw the tall and thin young man following the prison van, Ji Mingyan's eyes lit up: "Isn't that Xue Zhu? I was wondering why Xue Zhu was nowhere to be seen this morning."
In order to find Xuezhu, he even threw a lot of paper balls on the ground, but he didn't lure Xuezhu out.
It turned out that Xuezhu was guarding the prison van!
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunxi raised her head and looked out from beside Ji Mingyan's head.
Sure enough, Xuezhu followed the prison van, holding the sword that each constable had like a broom.
When Xie Bin kept struggling, shaking the prison cart so much that the horses became a little restless, he frowned, took an embroidery needle and poked inside until Xie Bin calmed down and dared not move again. Only then did he put the needle away.
Wu Wei'an sat next to Ji Yunxi drinking tea and said, "Well, the constables in the government office are not very good. I plan to ask Xuezhu to help take care of them."
