Just then, a noise came from the side.
I didn't care too much at first, after all, there were too many people coming today, and there were too many people talking. On the way, I saw many ordinary people clashing with the guards around the execution ground. But although I didn't go to see, the quarrels over there kept coming-
"I want to see you sir!"
"I've said that no one will see you, let's go!"
"Mr. Liu is wronged. I want to argue for him. I want to see you!"
"What wronged? What wronged? Is this what you, a villain, should you say?"
"you--"
I heard the quarrel sound familiar, and when I turned around, I saw that the guard guard at the gate was pushing away the young woman who had been arguing with him in front of him, and the young woman-
I looked closely and my eyes widened in surprise.
"rue?!"
Standing in front of the guard, she was wearing a blue gauze skirt, her black hair was tied into a delicate bun, and a beaded hairpin was inserted into the temples. It looked simple and unique, but her people seemed very frightened and angry, especially when the guard pushed away with his palm, she was even more furious and said, "I just want to see your lord!"
The guard looked her up and down and said coldly: "Miss, you, a woman, are you shy? You are also clamoring to see us. How could we be seen by a woman like you?"
Yunxiang's face suddenly turned red and she said angrily: "What's wrong with the female sex? Is your biological mother a female sex?"
The guard was robbed by her like this, and immediately said, "A woman, who is not good at taking care of her husband and children at home, why are you doing here? Are you going to argue for your injustice? Who are you? Have you ever asked your husband, are you allowed to come out like this?"
Yunxiang blushed even more and said, "Mr. Liu and I were friends. If something happened to him, can't he complain about him because I got married? Do you don't even have to worry about other people's life and death after marrying? What's the reason for this? Humph, it's bright and bright. You are like a slander like a red mouth and white teeth. Don't have any trouble with you. There are thousands of people watching coldly!"
When the guard said this, his face suddenly turned red and white, and he could no longer speak.
Not only that, the people around them were mostly applauding Yun Xiang after hearing their quarrels.
I stood there and watched the scene, and couldn't help but feel surprised.
Looking back at Jixiang Village in the past, Yunxiang looked shy and quiet, and was beaten by her husband so hard that she was injured and dared not resist. However, she didn't expect that now that she became the owner of Qingyun Embroidery House, her whole body had changed. Especially when she said a few words from her counterattack, she did not look cowardly in Jixiang Village.
However, when recalling what Boss Wang said on the ship, she had encountered the deceptions and struggles she had encountered in the ups and downs of the business world, she could understand why she is so strong now.
I couldn't help but walk over: "Yu Xiang..."
She was going to say something else, but suddenly she heard someone calling her, and was stunned. She turned her head and saw that it was me: "Light?!"
She grabbed my arm in surprise: "Qingying, why are you here?"
"I--"
Although I was very happy to see her, I couldn't laugh at this moment. I just looked back at the high platform. Yunxiang also turned her head and looked down immediately.
I asked again, "Are you here-to-please aggrieved him?"
"Um."
The guard was robbed by her before. At this time, everyone's attention was gone. They gave us a look in anger and said, "Just complain? What kind of complaints? He killed the dignified Princess Anguo, and he confessed his guilt. How can he complain?"
When Yunxiang heard this, her face froze. She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe it!"
“…”
"This must be an unjust case!"
“…”
"The third brother has been a kind person since he was a child. He will help anyone with difficulties. The reason he teaches the children in the village to be a human being is to teach people to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. How could a person like him kill someone? And he was still his newlywed wife?"
When the guard heard this, he immediately frowned: "What? What are you talking about?"
“…”
"Isn't Lord Liu an apprentice to the Great Confucian scholar in Shu? Why are you in the same village again?"
My face changed when I heard this. Before Yunxiang could react, she pulled her aside. At this time, Yunxiang seemed to remember something and turned to look at me: "The disciple of the great scholar in Shu?"
I murmured, "That's what happened after he left Jixiang Village."
"oh……"
Yunxiang nodded and hurriedly said to me: "Qingying, tell me what's going on? That day, you asked the embroiderer from our embroidery workshop to go to your mansion to perform a show, saying that he wanted to prepare a wedding gift for him, but the embroiderers came back and said that they didn't do anything. But it was his wedding, but why did it suddenly turn into a murder case?"
My brows frowned and said, "This matter is very complicated. There are too many princes, princes, princes, and local tyrants and powerful forces all intertwined here. I can't tell it clearly in a few words."
"But," I looked at her and said, "As long as I believe it, he will not kill people, and it must be him who killed people!"
Yunxiang nodded, but her expression became clear and confused.
For a people like her, perhaps doing a business and making some money is already a big storm in life. They will never understand the struggle between those who are in high and powerful, let alone the struggle. Although the struggle cannot be seen in the light of swords, the bloody and cruelty in it is far more fierce than any kind of struggle.
She raised her head and looked behind me, then gently pulled my sleeve: "That is yours-"
When I turned around, Pei Yuanxiu was still standing there. He also looked at us. At this moment, there was a crowding next to him, stumbled Han Ruoshi, who was already weak and slender, and fell on Pei Yuanxiu.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Pei Yuanxiu hurriedly reached out to support her.
I turned around and said lightly: "My husband. He is my husband."
And Yunxiang's brows were already twisted into a pimple: "That woman - who are those two?"
“…”
She suddenly widened her eyes: "It won't be-"
My face became even heavier and I just said, "No."
"No? Then why are they-"
"I won't mention this."
Yunxiang looked at my face. Perhaps after her experience over the years, she had a good ability to observe words and expressions. Seeing me like this, she did not ask any further questions. She just kept looking behind me, and her eyebrows became more and more frowned.
At this moment, a rumbling drum sounded around.
My spirit frightened, and I raised my head and saw Wu Yanqiu turning his head to the sundial under the platform.
One minute at noon!
This is the first drum!
My breathing suddenly became a little rapid, and Yunxiang also grabbed my arm. Listening to the dense drum beats around her, an anxious expression appeared on her face, and she murmured: "Light, it's so bloated!"
"Um."
"what to do?!"
"Don't hurry, this is just the first drum beat."
"Then, are you going to be beheaded three times when you play the drum three times?"
"yes."
This is the soul-urging drum. At noon, one person will be in the underworld!
Just as we were talking, on the other side of the execution ground, there was a clanging sound on a road. When we turned around, we saw a prison car slowly coming towards this side. The cage was locked by heavy iron chains. It was Liu Qinghan who was about to take the lead today!
I have never seen him since that night on the Red Boat. When I saw him today, he was even wearing the red wedding dress and had never changed it. It was just that unlike that night, his face was pale, almost like half a silver mask, as cold as ice, and several mud stains were stained on his cheeks. Although his hair was still tied behind his head, it was already a little messy, with several strands of hair scattered down his forehead and temples, blocking his face.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the prison car, put his hands on his knees on both sides, and clenched his fists slightly. His face, which was not too clean, was completely calm and indifferent, as if he was not sitting in the prison car, but in the hall.
Such calmness and indifference are not something that a prisoner can have!
As soon as he saw this, the people around him rushed up one after another, followed the guards on both sides of the prison van and hurried forward to separate them from the prison van, but the people still hugged forward and kept shouting.
"Mr. Liu!"
"Mr. Liu, we know you are wronged!"
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu!"
...
The people were shouting like thunder, but he seemed to be unable to hear it. He just sat quietly and shook slightly as the prison car drove. Finally, the prison car finally stopped in front of the punishment platform.
Several guards stepped forward, opened the door of the prison car, and picked him up from inside.
One of the guards said to him: "Mr. Liu, I offended him."
After saying that, he grabbed his hands and broke them behind him, and his hands were tied back and locked with iron chains.
When he was done all this, he still lowered his eyes, said nothing, and only clenched his fists slightly.
Yunxiang pinched my wrist with one hand and pointed the other hand at the other: "Qingying, look, third brother! It's third brother!"
“…”
I looked at him without saying a word.
In just a few days, it seems that it has passed too long. I don’t know how he lived like a year in prison, or he has been like this now, calm and indifferent, wealth, honor and disgrace are like passing clouds, but if I want to ask, I still have to ask him what he said—
Why? Why do you have to plead guilty?
I don’t believe you kill someone, I don’t believe it!
But, why do you plead guilty?!
At this time, the shouts of the people below had already sounded, and the people around us also began to shout.
I subconsciously looked back and stood not far from us. Han Zitong also looked at Liu Qinghan with concern, as if she felt unbearable. The weak and sick sister beside her frowned slightly, as if she was feeling unhappy because of the noisy sounds around her.
I saw her raise her head and say something to Pei Yuanxiu, but Pei Yuanxiu did not answer, but just looked at that side with a serious expression.
Liu Qinghan has been sent to the execution platform.
