The people who saw this scene instantly quieted down, waiting together for the moment they were looking forward to. The guards who were beheaded were also brought by Qian Jiujiu and others. The yamen runners in the yamen were still locked up!
The guards did not stop and chopped off Zheng Huarong's head in one go. When the head fell to the ground, everyone fell silent. After a moment, a strong cheer broke out: "Oh~"
This was to celebrate the fact that the man surnamed Zheng had finally been killed: "Thank you, Lord Qingtian, for suddenly coming down and giving us justice."
…
That's right, for the people here, Qian Jiujiu and others just appeared out of nowhere. Because no one knows when they came, they only know that they did such a great thing after they came.
Mu Yexiao looked at the group of people reveling below and was reluctant to disturb them. He looked at the people around him and said, "Since the execution is over, let's go back first. Lin Meng, you stay here and watch over the rest. Take them back after two hours and let the court order them to be punished."
Kill the most vicious one and let the people have a happy New Year. As for the others, we still follow the rules. But it is also a good thing to let them see the sins they have committed today.
Mu Yexiao took Qian Jiujiu and turned back to the government office to sort out the things to do in the next few days. It was time for them to go back.
Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve, so if they rush back now, they will still have time. Of course, before they leave, they will leave a few guards here to guard.
Just after the execution, a guard came to report: "Sir, Zheng Huarong's servant has been captured, and the rest of the Zheng family has fled Rongcheng. Do you want to bring them back?"
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other and said, "Of course we have to catch him. Let's make arrangements. We should catch him secretly and not cause any big noise."
She was not afraid that these people would escape, but she was worried that if the people found out about her arrest, they would make mistakes.
After understanding the situation here, the family rushed back to Xianyou Town. Finally, they arrived in the town on the night of New Year's Eve, and Fang Xiaoxi directly proposed to go home and celebrate the New Year with her parents.
"Master, we are already in town. I will ride home first and come to wish you a happy new year tomorrow. This year my elder brother, his wife and my second brother are not at home, and I am worried that my parents will not be used to it."
Especially since she is the most favored one in the family. Qian Jiujiu understood: "Okay, but I am worried about letting you go back alone so late. Nan Nan, you can send Xiaoxi home. If you want to spend New Year's Eve at Xiaoxi's house, you can stay there. If you want to come back, you can come back."
Nan Nan's mouth twitched and she was a little speechless. Why did she feel that her mother started to dislike her so quickly? "I know. I will try to stay for the New Year and not come back to disturb you and Dad. Is that okay?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes and said, "How can a boy like you be so worried? Aren't you worried that you're too tired from running twice?"
Nan Nan felt a little better. "That's not unacceptable. I'll leave now. By the way, Dad and Mom, are you going back to the villa or the county government office?"
Mu Yexiao spoke for Qian Jiujiu: "Let's go to the county government office first. If there's no one there, we can only go back to the villa."
Isn't it useless to say this? Nan Nan understood that there was no place for him in the family. He didn't even tell me where to spend the New Year: "Then I'm leaving."
Together with Fang Xiaoxi, they walked towards Fangjia Village. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other and also headed towards the county government office. When they arrived at the county government office, they found that it was very deserted.
Yes, everyone is on holiday. The yamen runners have all gone home to celebrate the New Year, and even the servants in the backyard have gone to the other courtyard today to prepare for the New Year.
The huge county government office was dark and there was no one inside. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other and said with a smile: "I suddenly have a suggestion. Let's go to the space to celebrate the New Year today."
If we go back to the villa now, it would be better to spend some time alone with the two of us instead of disturbing so many people. Mu Yexiao smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in."
There were all kinds of materials in the space, all of which were earned by the rabbit's labor. The rabbit was speechless when he saw two shameless people taking possession of its things.
Forget it, after all, he is the master! He came in to spend time alone, okay. The thing that occupied it was not allowed to appear, the rabbit was angry, but helpless, and quietly retreated.
Qian Jiujiu was in high spirits. It was so lively when they returned to Beijing for the New Year last year, but it was rare that they were alone this year. Qian Jiujiu assisted Mu Yexiao in making the reunion dinner, and the two of them had a great time in the space.
On the other side, Nan Nan and Fang Xiaoxi also arrived at the gate of Fangjia Village. Fang Xiaoxi turned around and glanced at Nan Nan: "Are you really going to spend the New Year at my house?"
Nan Nan looked at Fang Xiaoxi in confusion: "Why? Can't I? Or do you not welcome it? Didn't you say that your elder brother and second brother are not here? It would be bad to have me join in the fun."
Fang Xiaoxi was a little speechless. How could she understand it this way? The problem was that if they joined in the fun, they had to be family. He wasn't a member of their family, so what was the point of him going back with them to celebrate the New Year
At Fang Xiaoxi's home, Fang's father stood at the door and looked out, and said with some concern: "Mother, do you think Xiaoxi will come back tonight? Or will she stay at her master's house for the New Year?"
Fang's mother was lighting a fire in the kitchen. When she heard this, she frowned. "It's Chinese New Year, and I don't know if he will come back. There's no definite news. And I don't know how the eldest brother and his two friends are spending the New Year away."
There was no letter during the Chinese New Year. It turns out that the children have grown up and have to be separated. They are the ones who are not used to it.
It was a quiet and lonely house with only three people at home during the Chinese New Year. But soon, Father Fang became excited: "Xiao Xi is back."
Seeing Fang Xiaoxi and Nan Nan's horses coming over here, he stood up to greet them: "Xiaoxi, why are you and Nan Nan coming here at this time?"
Now that the matter has been resolved, there is nothing to hide. So he told the story again, and both Fang's father and mother were stunned.
The child had been gone for only three days and yet such a big thing happened: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, kid?"
Fang Xiaoxi said with a smile: "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. Anyway, the matter has been resolved now. By the way, Dad Nan Nan will spend the New Year at our house tonight, is that ok?"
Father Fang was stunned for a moment: "He won't go back to accompany your master and others? It's so cold, and they just came back. Why don't you invite your master and others back as well?"
When I was in Kyoto, I was grateful to Beibei for taking care of me! Nannan quickly said, "Don't bother. Someone at home will prepare everything."
He was too embarrassed to tell his parents that they wanted to be alone together, so he could only laugh it off and shamelessly stay to celebrate the New Year together.
Mr. and Mrs. Fang's home is always lively during the Chinese New Year every year, except this year, so they are very happy that Nan Nan can stay.
"What does Nannan like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Fang Xiaoxi couldn't bear to see her mother working so hard: "Mom, let me do it. I'm a good cook!"
When Fang's mother heard that, she really thought that was the case, so she went to the kitchen with Fang Xiaoxi and said, "Okay, then you come along. Dad, talk to Nan Nan."
Nan Nan followed Fang's father into the room and waited for the New Year's Eve dinner. There was nothing to say between the two of them. Fang Shaofeng couldn't stand it and took out a deck of cards.
"We'll probably have to wait a little longer for dinner, so let's play poker for a while. Nan Nan, you know how to play, right?"
It's not that he doesn't want to play other games, but his father doesn't know how to play other games. If I had known that Mahjong was invented by Qian Jiujiu first, Nan Nan would also be proficient in poker.
"If you can play, then play. When I went out to sea before, I often played with my parents on the boat."
Fang Shaofeng was a little curious: "What does the sea look like? Is it fun to go out to sea?"
The farthest place he had been to was Kyoto, and he had never seen the sea.
Nan Nan introduced with a smile: "People who like it will find it very interesting, but people who don't like it will probably be bored. After all, it's mostly water, the area is very large, the things in the sea are also very large, and there are sharks, dolphins and so on..."
The more he talked, the more excited he became. Nan Nan gestured the shape and length of a dolphin. Seeing Fang Shaofeng's curious expression, he didn't even want to play a card. He couldn't help laughing: "If you really want to know, go find paper and pen, and I'll draw it for you."
Put the cards away and play them next time. Father Fang didn't mind. He was also curious about the things in the sea and watched with Fang Shaofeng.
Fortunately, Nan Nan has good painting skills. After a few strokes, a shark appeared on the paper: "This is a shark. Doesn't it look very domineering? This shark is very big..."
After drawing the shark and then the dolphin, time passed slowly. Fang Shaofeng lit several candles, making the whole room as bright as day.
Fang Xiaoxi came in with dishes and couldn't help laughing: "This is a great offer. Third brother, you are so proud of yourself. You are willing to light so many candles."
Fang Shaofeng rolled his eyes when he heard this, "No, it's obviously because Nan Nan wanted to draw that I lit it so brightly."
Drawing? What kind of drawing is there on New Year's Day? Fang Xiaoxi also came over and saw that Nan Nan's drawings were all about the sea.
"What are you drawing? It's quite beautiful." Logically she shouldn't know, so just ask.
It was time to show off his erudition. Nan Nan began to talk nonstop: "This one with eight legs is called a squid. It's a delicious food! And when it's frightened, it will spray black ink. It's very interesting. And this one is called a starfish. It has many colors. When I have time, I will take you to the beach and take you to the sea. Then we can catch all kinds of things."
Fang's mother was busy in the kitchen alone. After a while, she came in with the dishes: "It's time to eat. Xiaoxi, you too, you just won't leave once you come in."
