"If you ask me, that doctor surnamed Xu deserves it. He could have offended anyone else, but had to offend Mr. Fan, the co-magistrate."
"The higher-ups have issued a notice that the previous prefect, Lord Wang, will be executed. If nothing unexpected happens, Lord Fan will most likely be the next prefect of Guozhou."
"I think that guy named Xu will have a hard time in the future."
"Tsk! He deserves it. He must be really sick in the head. He actually went and lied to the patients. Is he worthy of being a doctor?"
"My superiors asked me to look after him. What bad luck!"
“…”
"Sister Si, did that doctor named Xu bully you?" Xu Xiaotang asked after entering the tent.
"Bullying? Not really. He just used some despicable methods to frame me. But don't worry, I'm fine. I've already fought back against him." Si Muqiao said.
After those two bricks hit him, Xu Yongnian would have to be sick for at least one more month on top of his original condition.
This is the price he pays for his misconduct.
"Sister Si, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell Lord Fan directly."
"I heard from Uncle Guo that Master Fan was reminded by the young master to protect you."
"If Master Fan can't do it, tell Master Rong. Master Rong cares about you."
"So that's it!" Si Muqiao suddenly realized.
That's what she meant. Nothing good comes unexpectedly.
She had no relationship with Lord Fan, so why was Lord Fan so polite to her before?
It turns out that it was because of the dog tyrant.
I really didn't expect that the dog tyrant is such a loyal person.
Suddenly, she felt inexplicably happy. What was going on?
Of course, this is not love.
After all, she had no expectations of Murong Qingli, and she stayed by his side just to complete the task.
That's all.
Humph!
"Xiaotang, I have always had a principle in life: it is better to rely on yourself than on others."
"Whether it's Lord Fan or Master Rong, they both helped me, and I am very grateful to them."
"But that's all. I won't seek help from others whenever I have something to do."
"I want to become more powerful. If I encounter a problem, it would be best if I have the ability to solve it."
"After all, others can help you temporarily, but can they help you for the rest of your life?"
"Of course, I'm not saying that you should reject everyone's help and go forward alone."
"Instead, you need to work harder on your own. It would be best if you could make a living on your own without having to rely on others."
"As human beings, we are destined to encounter many things in this world. We need to ask for help when necessary and give back when necessary. Just keep it in mind."
"But Sister Si, isn't Young Master Rong your husband? Since you are already married, it is only natural for him to help you." Xu Xiaotang asked in confusion.
"Xiaotang, you have to remember that there is no such thing as should or should not be done. The only person who will never betray you is yourself."
"Men may change their minds. If they do, why would they help you? It's good enough that they don't take your life while you're sick."
"But if you have the ability, it will be icing on the cake if others help you. Even if others don't help you, you can still live well."
"Even if you encounter someone who wants to bully you, you can just beat him up so hard that he can't take care of himself."
“Isn’t it great to think about it this way?”
"Yeah, Sister Si, I understand!" Xu Xiaotang nodded heavily.
Xu Xiaotang found the bowl of chicken soup that Si Muqiao drank very novel and also very sweet.
The next day.
When it was still half an hour before noon, the criminal Wang Desheng had been taken to Caishikou by the officials.
Murong Qingli and Feng Liuyu, wearing half a mask, supervised the execution together.
There were a lot of people watching, and they were all whispering about something.
Although Murong Qingli gave the order that Wang Desheng's family could be dealt with later, they were also forced to kneel on the execution ground at this moment.
Murong Qingli's meaning was very straightforward. He wanted Wang Desheng's family to watch Wang Desheng being executed.
Moreover, before the execution, Murong Qingli issued an order.
If someone could provide him with clues that interested him, perhaps he would let the person who provided the clue go.
Otherwise, after Wang Desheng is executed, it will be the next turn for others.
Wang Desheng's family members, including his personal servants, knelt there at first and didn't think anything was wrong.
But it can be done at noon.
After Murong Qingli really sentenced Wang Desheng to death by slicing, they watched helplessly as the executioner began to cut the flesh from Wang Desheng's body piece by piece.
In the end, everyone was so scared that they cried and trembled, and some even peed their pants or fainted on the spot.
"My Lord, regarding the previous fire in the granary, I have something to say..."
Finally, someone couldn't help but tremble and spoke.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"Actually, even though the granary caught fire, the grain was..."
As the man was speaking, he saw a murderous arrow flying from a distance.
The arrow went straight to the forehead of the person who spoke.
Just as the man was about to be shot to death by a long arrow that suddenly flew out, at the most critical moment, a small stone was thrown over and deflected the arrow.
Seeing this, those hiding in the crowd once again drew their bows and arrows and started committing crimes.
Some of his accomplices also wanted to rush forward with swords in hand.
"Protect my lord, someone is breaking into the prison!"
"Quick, catch the assassin!"
"Ah, run!"
Screams suddenly rang out at the scene.
However, Murong Qingli and Feng Liuyu, who were sitting in front of the execution platform, were not panicked at all.
Even, whether it was Feng Liuyu who was protecting Murong Qingli, or Murong Qingli himself, there was a hint of hidden light in their eyes.
Those people finally couldn't help but take action!
They were afraid that those people wouldn't come.
At this moment, on the surrounding rooftops and in the open windows, the officers hiding in the crowd all jumped out and began to encircle and suppress the assassin.
The captain of the dark guard, Feiying, fought against ten people alone and subdued the archer in minutes.
In order to prevent them from biting their tongues to commit suicide, they simply removed their jaws.
An assassination started suddenly and ended in minutes.
The twenty assassins were all subdued.
Among them, eight people died and twelve were captured alive.
"You... were sent by the Xue family, right?" Murong Qingli launched a powerful attack right as soon as he opened his mouth, without even asking any detailed questions.
Those people didn't reply at all.
Murong Qingli was not in a hurry either.
Let the person who spoke earlier continue what he had not finished saying.
"They were sent by the Xue family, sir. These people must have been sent by the Xue family."
"The Xue family colluded with our master secretly and transported all the grain in the granary. Then they planned to burn the granary the next day."
"The food that was originally intended to be distributed to the people was placed in the grain shop by the Xue family and sold at fifty times the price."
"If not for this, there wouldn't be so many people starving to death in Guozhou City."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar and curses from all the people present.
They were all furious.
Just now, they thought that the imperial envoy's methods were very cruel.
He actually executed the former prefect, Lord Wang, by slow slicing in front of everyone.
But at this moment, they all applauded.
He even wanted to carry out the execution himself.
This damn Wang Desheng, as an official appointed by the imperial court, does not care about the lives of the people and only cares about making money. He is extremely immoral.
Such people should be cut into pieces.
"Oh? In that case, someone, go and ask the Xue family to come over."
