Soon Yuanbao came with the prefect: "Greetings to the prince and princess."
"Here is the evidence of Xiao Feiyu's murder, twelve people."
When he heard the number of twelve people, the prefect was shocked: "How could it be? None of these officials heard anyone come to report the case."
If someone came to report the case, he would definitely know about it.
"Because they were suppressed by his father and grandfather, the victim's family had to swallow their anger for the sake of the rest of the family." Su Yu briefly explained the whole story.
After hearing this, the prefect glared at them fiercely.
"What should we do about this matter, my lord?"
"Xiao Feiyu brutally killed others and will be executed immediately. He will be beheaded tomorrow."
"The madam of Zuihonglou was Xiao Feiyu's accomplice. She helped Xiao Feiyu dispose of the corpse and other things. She is sentenced to 20 years in prison, a heavy prison."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Patriarch Xiao and his men looked at Su Yu in surprise. Would he be executed tomorrow? Was the prince overreaching
Mr. Xiao Sanye thought so too.
He was waiting to do something about his son's behavior when he was sent back to the capital, but now he is going to be executed tomorrow, what can he do
"I don't accept it. Even if you are the prince, you have no right to directly convict my son. You should send my son back to the capital."
The prefect glanced at Mr. Xiao San and said, "You think too much. As long as the evidence is solid and the crime is serious enough to warrant beheading, Your Highness can execute the person first and report to the emperor later. This is a privilege granted to Your Highness by the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, when dealing with criminals, you can execute them first and then report to the Emperor."
The prefect's words surprised the Xiao family. They didn't expect that the emperor was so fond of Prince Yu.
Directly delegate power and act first and report later.
"This is impossible." Mr. Xiao San looked at Su Yu with red eyes. He didn't believe this was true.
"Last year, the prince executed several families and more than a dozen officials in Yuhe County, but they were not sent back to the capital." The prefect complained.
Do these people have any misunderstanding about the prince’s rights

The prince can do anything, but he is low-key and doesn't want to show off.
Third Master Xiao turned to look at the head of the Xiao family and found that he was frowning. His heart skipped a beat. Could it be true
"Brother?"
"This is indeed true." He thought at the time that the beheading was carried out directly here after the emperor gave the order.
I didn't expect that it was Jade King who proposed the beheading.
The current situation is that the third brother has no way to save Xiao Feiyu.
He could only wait for Xiao Feiyu to die in front of him.
"Brother, please save Feiyu. What happened before was my fault. I can apologize to you, but Feiyu is still young. He..."
"Is an apology useful? If you weren't backing him up, would he dare to do that?" The head of the Xiao family was very angry.
Twelve people, that's twelve lives.

"Can these twelve people survive if you apologize?"
Mr. Xiao stopped talking immediately. Isn't this nonsense? How can a dead person come back to life
"It seems that you know very well that this person is already dead and there is no chance of survival. What's the point of your apology?" Is it his apology that people want
Is his apology worth someone else’s child’s life
The people around listened to what Patriarch Xiao said and nodded in agreement: "Patriarch Xiao is right. Why should we accept your apology? Your apology can't bring my daughter back to life."
Before, they hated the head of the Xiao family very much, thinking that he was in cahoots with Mr. Xiao Sanye and his gang. Now they realized that he had also been deceived.
After looking at Mr. Xiao San and the old man of the Xiao family, he felt very good when he thought that Xiao Feiyu would be beheaded tomorrow.
When Xiao Feiyu heard that he was going to be beheaded, he was completely dumbfounded.
"No, I don't want to be beheaded. Grandpa, please save me." In Xiao Feiyu's eyes, the old man of the Xiao family is the most powerful.
No matter what he did, the old man could help him deal with it.
It is certainly the same now.
"Grandpa, please have someone help me die. I don't want to die."
The prefect's face darkened when he heard this: "What do you mean by asking someone to help you die? You don't want to die?"
"Your life is a life, but other people's lives are not lives? You did this, so why should you let others replace you?" The prefect had never seen such a ridiculous person.
However, the more ridiculous thing is yet to come. The old man actually thought that this was feasible. He looked at the head of the Xiao family and said, "I don't care what method you use, you must keep Feiyu alive."
"You have so many children, you..."
Patriarch Xiao looked at the old man with a gloomy expression, and suddenly burst out: "Enough."
The old man was startled: "Why are you so fierce?"
"My sons are all very outstanding children, as are the second and fourth brothers' families. Why should we push our sons out for such a loser?"
"Not to mention that the prince and the others will not agree. Even if the prince and the others agree, we will not agree. We will not let our son pay for Xiao Feiyu's life. He... doesn't deserve it." What qualifications does Xiao Feiyu have to receive such preferential treatment
Who is he
"It's because you are our father that we have been tolerant and accommodating to you all these years. But starting today, we won't do that anymore. We won't sacrifice ourselves or our children for you. From now on, whether the people in the third house live or die is their own business and has nothing to do with us." This was the coldest moment for the head of the Xiao family.
For a murderer, for a good-for-nothing.
The old man actually wanted them to push the child out as compensation for his life.
Is it glorious for him to be a murderer? And he wants his family to praise him
He took a deep breath and said, "Second brother, fourth brother, let's go. From today on, you are not allowed to interfere in any of their affairs. Anyone who dares to interfere will be expelled from the family."
Xiao Qing glanced at Mr. Xiao San with a half-smile, thinking that everything would be fine as long as the old man was around
How stupid.
How could they possibly let him succeed
This is the result of not educating children well.
Although their family has some strength, it is nothing compared to the imperial power.
He didn't dare to do anything.
"Your Highness, thank you for disturbing you today. We will go back first. We have no objection to how Your Highness handles the affairs of the third house." The head of the Xiao family looked at Su Yu seriously and said.
Su Yu glanced at the people beside him with a half-smile, and said playfully: "It seems that no one will care about you. Take the people away, publish the evidence of Xiao Feiyu's guilt and execute him on the same day."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The people brought by the prefect dragged Xiao Feiyu away. Mr. Xiao Sanye and the old man chased after them but were stopped.
The prefect looked at the two and said coldly, "If you want to be punished like him, just keep following him."
Mr. Xiao Sanye and the old man stopped and watched Xiao Feiyu being taken away.
He turned and looked at Su Yu.
It was this person who meddled in other people's affairs and killed his son.

And these bastards, why didn’t you just take their lives before
If they had died at that time, there would have been nothing that could have been done, right
