Chapter 317: Keep someone under the knife
Zu Liya has been hiding in the carriage these days. Even if Li Yunxing is not here, she is too embarrassed to go out.
A few days ago, Zulifei always thought about coming to find her sister, but she was provoked by Bai Jiezi. She began to hide in the carriage and read all day long. When she arrived in the capital, she thought her eyes had begun to blur from reading.
Oh, everything I see is ghosted, otherwise how could I see so many people.
Only then did Zulia get out of the carriage and hold her little sister's hand.
"Little sister, look, this is the prosperity of the capital of Wu Dynasty. There are really many people."
Zulifei rubbed her eyes vigorously. It turned out that she was not seeing double images, but that there were really so many people in front of her.
Not only were there many people, the roads in the capital of the Wu Dynasty were paved with stone slabs, there was no flying sand in the air, and there were many pavilions and pavilions on both sides of the streets, making it feel like entering a fairyland.
It turns out that this was the capital of the Wu Dynasty, and it was really prosperous.
Jiang Shan went back one day early and led the embroidered censor to greet him at the city gate. After receiving everyone, he came to the prince and whispered a few words. Li Yunxing was stunned and frowned.
"The two girls have been sent back to the house and brought me a fast horse."
Zulia was attentive and noticed this scene, and was stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness, what happened?"
She didn't know why they came back this time, but she noticed that Li Yunxing looked bad.
Li Yunxing smiled, it was not a big deal, it was just that Su Miaoxue had been sent to the execution ground, and it seemed that Liu Zhongqing had decided to take her life.
"Let Jiangshan accompany you. If you want to stroll on the street, let Jiangshan send someone to protect you. If you want to go back home, go back. I will take a step in advance."
Although Zuliya asked intentionally, she also knew that he must be doing this because of something urgent, so she nodded obediently.
Li Yunxing rode a fast horse to the execution ground. Fortunately, he was not too late. Su Miaoxue had just been taken to the execution ground. The executioners were Liu Zhongqing and Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian just came here to join in the fun. After all, he was the one who killed Su Zhaoyang in the first place. Now that he heard that the only daughter of the Su family was dying, he naturally wanted to come over and take a look.
However, Liu Zhongqing felt that Li Yuntian was acting very strangely. He seemed to be very concerned about Liu Yin's murder. He remembered that he had received a secret report before and that Li Yuntian and Yin'er encountered each other, and he took the initiative to give way.
However, Li Yuntian only pretended to be as gentle as jade on the surface and did not fight or grab. In fact, he was very dark in his heart and was extremely vindictive. It is very likely that he hated Yin'er because of this incident and took action.
He was anxious to kill Su Miaoxue, not because he identified her as the murderer, but because he wanted to use her to make the real murderer relax his vigilance and reveal his flaws.
He didn't care at all whether Su Miaoxue died or not, but since she had taken refuge with the prince, and the Su family was almost dead, there was no need to leave such a lone seedling behind, so he might as well go with her father and brother.
Su Miaoxue had suffered enough punishment in the past few days. She was already dying and could not even raise her eyes.
She could feel that she was being carried to the execution ground, and could also hear the whispers of the people around her. In most of their minds, she was still a saint from the Wu Dynasty, who should live in a high temple, and had a compassionate heart. Why?
She may kill people at will, but all kinds of evidence show that she is the murderer.
Amidst the many doubts and confusions, Su Miaoxue felt extremely calm. She didn't expect that she had a great revenge that she had not avenged, so she was going to die like this, so she was naturally unwilling to do so.
If the prince were here, Liu Zhongqing would definitely not dare to treat her like this, and she would not suffer such injustice.
But this time the prince went to the northwest camp, why didn't he come back?
If he came back and found out that he was dead, would he feel sad for her?
While he was thinking wildly, Liu Zhongqing had already read out his charges, threw down the wooden sign, and ordered the beheading.
At this moment, someone outside the crowd suddenly shouted: "Save someone under the knife."
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man approaching slowly on a fast horse.
"I have only been away for a few days, and when I came back I heard that someone wanted to kill the saint. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Hearing that he called himself the prince, the people around him panicked and knelt down.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
You know, His Royal Highness the Prince has done a lot of good things for the people before. Many people admire him in their hearts, but most people have never seen his appearance.
Su Miaoxue suddenly opened her eyes, and through the layers of people, she saw the figure that he had been thinking about all this time.
It was really the prince, he really came to save her.
She could still show a calm and indifferent look just now, as if she had no regard for life and death, but after seeing Li Yunxing, tears of grievance immediately burst into her eyes.
If the current situation didn't allow it, she would have really wanted to throw herself into Li Yunxing's arms, cry bitterly, and vent her grievances and the punishment she had suffered in the past few days.
Li Yunxing gave Su Miaoxue a comforting look. Now that he is back, this person must be saved.
Liu Zhongqing's face froze when he saw the two people's expressions of affection. It seemed that Su Miaoxue was really favored by Li Yunxing, so she was able to make him come back from the northwest camp.
It's just not good when he comes back. He has to do it at the critical moment of execution, under the eyes of many people. If he can't kill Su Miaoxue to avenge his son, won't he let all the people see his incompetence?
"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your Royal Highness went to the northwest camp to supervise the army. He didn't know that my son was killed a few days ago. The murderer was Su Miaoxue. Moreover, she personally admitted to killing my son. The evidence is conclusive. I am exercising the law of the Wu Dynasty.
Killing someone to pay for his life is a matter of course. The prince doesn't know the cause and effect, so he shouldn't stop him rashly."
Li Yunxing jumped off his horse and went directly to the high platform.
"Liu Yin is dead? What a pity. I am still waiting for him to return to the southeast camp and want to give him the position of captain."
Liu Zhongqing snorted in his heart, what he said sounded nice, but when Liu Yin returned to the capital, although it was in the name of receiving Liu Ruxu's letter, he must have contributed to it.
He might be very happy that Yin'er died, so why bother to say these words in a pretentious manner.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness, but that is no longer important. I must avenge my son today."
With that said, he ordered the executioner to continue the execution.
Li Yunxing raised his eyebrows, and the embroidered censor beside him immediately stepped forward and overturned the executioner's machete.
"Why is Mr. Liu so anxious? I think there are still doubts about this matter. Su Miaoxue is just a weak woman. How could she kill a tall and strong man like Liu Yin? If Mr. Liu insists on execution, is there any personal grudge in it?"
Li Yunxing, with his eloquent tongue, actually pointed the finger at Liu Zhongqing.
