Lord Mo sighed. It seemed that his brother-in-law still didn't realize that he was wrong. He shook his head, not knowing what to say. But now it seemed that it was useless to say anything. Things had turned out like this.
After the explanation, Mrs. Mo realized that their family was completely finished, and both of her children burst into tears. Mrs. Mo's eyes were also red, but what could she do? It seemed that she could not blame anyone except her brother.
What's the point of blaming my brother now? Even killing him won't help. The whole family can only wait in despair. Nothing they do now can change their situation. Mrs. Mo looked at her husband and wanted to say sorry, but she felt she had no words to say, so she could only remain silent.
Qian Jiujiu didn't care about what happened to the family after they were put in jail. Instead, he asked people to investigate what Mr. Zheng had done. When the results were presented to them, Qian Jiujiu's eyes widened in shock.
"This man has done so many evil things. He deserves to be tortured to death. He relied on his status to rob so many people. My God. I can't even count the crimes he has committed."
Qian Jiujiu's exclamation immediately attracted the attention of Mu Yexiao, Lin Meng and others, and they all looked over: "What's wrong?"
As they spoke, they picked up the information in Qian Jiujiu's hand and looked at it. Their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. "We knew that this person was completely bad. Of course, how good can a bastard be when he can ruin a family just because of a blueprint?"
Mu Yexiao's face was gloomy: "Make this man an example and sentence him to death immediately."
In fact, if possible, it would be best to do a slow slicing. But if it is a slow slicing, it cannot be done in front of everyone, I am afraid it will not be enough to vent my anger. And in the whole Rongcheng, I am afraid that only by killing Zheng Huarong in front of everyone can the anger of the people be appeased.
It is because the Great Zhou is too powerful, and the people are too afraid of the imperial court, so they have been suppressing their anger. Fortunately, they were discovered. Otherwise, if things here continue, it will arouse public anger sooner or later.
"No need to wait for news from above, just execute him during the Lantern Festival."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Mu Yexiao, and after thinking about it, it seemed like this was okay, but it was a bit too long: "Isn't that too long? How about tomorrow, you send someone to spread the news and kill him so that the people can have a happy New Year."
Moreover, they would be going back to Xianyou Town in three days, so they couldn't stay here forever. But if they didn't deal with such a vicious person, they would not be able to sleep or eat well even after they returned.
Something happened in the government these days, and many people outside have heard about it, but they are not clear about the specific situation. It was only when the government posted the notice that the people in the entire city were instantly shocked.
Everyone rushed to tell each other: "Did you see the notice issued by the government today? Zheng Huarong will be executed at noon tomorrow."
"I saw it too, but I don't know if it's true or false? That's the bully of Rong City. Is he really going to be executed?"
"Whether it is true or not, it is not that difficult. We will know when we go to the execution ground tomorrow. If it is true, then everyone will be happy."
"That's right, let's go check it out together tomorrow. I'll go see if there are any other people who don't know about it. We've made an appointment to go check it out together tomorrow."
"That's true. I'll go too. If what this announcement says is true, it would be a great pleasure to go and see it. It would be a shame if you didn't see it."
…
The whole Rongcheng was in an uproar because of this incident. Countless people began to inquire about what happened in the government office. So what Mr. Zheng did was exposed in an instant. It was known that this time he failed to rob someone's things and got himself involved. Everyone felt relieved that they had hit a wall.
The common people felt relieved, but the rich, especially those in the Chamber of Commerce, began to feel frightened. They were more or less responsible for the evil deeds done by Master Zheng, but at least they made money from it.
Now I don’t know if I can clear myself of the blame. If I can’t, all those with the surname Zheng will be executed, and their fate will not be much better.
Regardless of whether it was getting dark or not, he headed towards the Zheng family. The Zheng family was a big family in Rongcheng, and they would get news at the slightest sign of trouble, but this time they didn't get any news, and only got the news that their son would be executed tomorrow.
"Master Zheng, what happened to Master Zheng? What happened? Why did something go wrong out of nowhere?"
The Zheng family members were just as confused as them: "I don't know, please send them away."
At this time, Mr. Zheng didn't want to pay any attention to the people outside, so he took them to the government office to check the situation. However, when he arrived at the government office, he didn't find out anything and was driven out.
Mr. Zheng was not stupid. When he saw that there was no familiar person in the yamen, he immediately realized that something big had happened.
He turned around and went out, went home to pack up his things and took some people to escape from here. The revelers did not think of the Zheng family, at least not now.
Qian Jiujiu soon found out what was happening outside. He couldn't help but shake his head: "See, this guy is the typical example of someone who kills himself. Killing him will cause a carnival for the whole city!"
The next day came in a blink of an eye. The people of Rongcheng had breakfast early and went to the gate of the county government office to wait.
Lin Meng was startled at first, then he quickly went to find Mu Yexiao: "Sir, sir, something bad has happened. The government office is surrounded."
Mu Yexiao was confused: "What do you mean by being surrounded? Find someone to go out and find out what's going on."
Come to think of it, it shouldn't be like this. When Lord Mo was in charge, the people didn't dare to come and surround the government office. So Lin Meng decided to go out and ask in person, and find someone to ask directly.
"Big brother, what are you doing gathered at the gate of the government office?"
The man looked at Lin Meng and said, "Brother, I saw you just came out of the government office. You must be someone from the government office. There is no point for us to be here. We just want to wait and see if the man surnamed Zheng will really be beheaded today."
Lin Meng glanced around and said, "Are you all here waiting for this? But the beheading will be at noon. Aren't you tired of gathering here now?"
The man shook his head: "Not tired, watching him get beheaded is such a satisfying thing, how can I be tired!"
"Exactly. We wish time would go by faster! Hahaha. As long as we can kill that person today, that'll be fine."
Listening to these people talking at once, he finally understood. He turned around and went in to report to Mu Yexiao: "Sir, they are all here to wait for Zheng to be beheaded."
So that's how it is, but since the notice has been issued, just wait and see. More and more people came, but they were very disciplined, and they cordoned off both sides of the road from the government office to the execution ground.
Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows: "If that's the case, then escort him to the execution ground now."
Lin Meng was stunned: "It will take a long time until noon."
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "That's easy. Let's parade him through the streets before the execution. Let the people use rotten eggs and vegetable leaves to hit him. Oh, and bring the Mo family along to parade through the streets as well. Let them see what they have done over the years."
This was good, so Lin Meng led people to the prison to arrest people. After being brought out, they were directly put in shackles and stuffed into the prison van.
"Walk."
Zheng Huarong looked terrified: "What are you going to do? Where are you taking us?"
Those yamen runners who were found to have aided and abetted the tyrant had their hands tied with ropes and were running behind the prison van.
The prison cell of the yamen was opened, and Lin Meng and his men walked in front. The moment they pushed the prison van out, the people outside started to move.
"Look, it's really that bastard named Zheng. He's really been arrested."
Lin Meng looked at the people in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Now escort them to the execution ground for execution. If you want to throw anything along the way, try to throw it as accurately as possible."
This was a direct warning, and the smart people among the people reacted immediately. They quickly squeezed through and came back with a basket of vegetable leaves: "Get out of the way, I'm going to smash this shameless dog to death."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at Zheng Huarong. Zheng Huarong was hit in the face with a lot of vegetable leaves, especially the rotten ones, and he almost vomited.
"Look, he's going to vomit, he's in pain, who has eggs?"
"I have it, I have it. Let me see how I kill him with a rotten egg."
As he was speaking, another egg was thrown over, and coincidentally hit Mrs. Mo in the face in the prison van behind. The unpleasant smell instantly hit her nose, and Mrs. Mo vomited immediately.
The actions of these two people seemed to have turned on the switch for the people to throw things. Countless people grabbed rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, and even Mo Yurong was hit in the face by two pieces of dog shit, looking extremely embarrassed.
Along with the sound of them being hit, there were cheers from the people. They had never expected that since when, they had become the objects of hatred by so many people.
The worst was Zheng Huarong. Everyone wanted to throw something at him and kill him. The guards who escorted him to the prison car were quite good at martial arts and dodged several times. Otherwise, they would have been affected.
It took two hours to walk, and it was almost noon when they finally arrived at the execution ground with the prisoner van. Looking at Zheng Huarong at this time, he almost looked down on him, and he exuded a dirty smell all over his body.
They even had no idea how to force the person onto the stage. Fortunately, there was a smart person who brought a basin of water from somewhere and rinsed Zheng Huarong before forcing him onto the stage.
Mu Yexiao personally supervised the execution and was already sitting on the high platform, looking at Zheng Huarong below. Zheng Huarong was so scared that he peed himself. He was really going to die.
The whole person was pressed down and lying on the execution ground. The guards who were going to behead him were standing beside him, holding their swords high.
