Chapter 40: Beheading in the street at noon tomorrow
Shen Changqing’s ruthlessness.
Everyone was shocked, and Hong Cheng and others easily controlled the Zhao family.
Put on the iron chains.
One by one, they all rushed to the Yamen.
Shen Changqing just stood aside and did not interfere anymore.
Those who were taken away ranged from decrepit old men to babies who were waiting to be fed.
But from beginning to end.
His expression was unmoved.
Because colluding with evil spirits is absolutely not allowed to be forgiven.
"If you want to blame, blame it on the Zhao family!" Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, then looked at Hong Cheng aside: "After everyone in the Zhao family is imprisoned, they will be beheaded at noon tomorrow.
In addition, we sent someone to search the Zhao family's house and put everything into the Yamen warehouse."
"As you command!"
——
Hundreds of members of the Zhao family were all forced to go to the Yamen, which naturally attracted many people to watch.
"Good catch!"
"If the Zhao family dares to collude with evil spirits, they should have confiscated their family and exterminated them long ago!"
"Fortunately, I thought Zhao Fang was a good official before, but now it seems, bah!"
"Thousands of people in Guyue Village died with their eyes open, and the Zhao family should be buried with them."
"Haha, the court opened its eyes——"
Regarding the fate of the Zhao family, everyone onlookers applauded and applauded.
As early as when the news of the Zhao family's collusion with evil spirits spread, the Zhao family's reputation was already ruined.
Now my home is confiscated.
In their eyes, it was just what they deserved.
Collaborate with evil spirits.
In the eyes of everyone, it is intolerable.
"Alas, the Zhao family is finished!"
Cui Cheng, who was dressed in a powerful attire and carrying a long sword, couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the many Zhao family members being pressed towards the Yamen.
In fact, he had just arrived in Lin'an City when he got the news about Zhao Li.
But all the time.
Cui Chengdu had no idea of standing up for the Zhao family.
Although he and Zhao Li have a good friendship, friendship is friendship, and the current matter can no longer be solved simply by friendship.
Once he takes action and his deeds are revealed, he may be implicated in the Guiyuan Sword Sect behind him.
For a friend.
It is obviously impossible to sacrifice one's own sect.
Regarding this.
Zhao Li had been kept in the dark, thinking that Cui Cheng had not arrived in time after his summons was sent out, but he did not know that at the moment the Zhao family was blocked, the other party had already arrived in Lin'an City.
"Senior brother, the Zhao family is a little pitiful!"
Next to Cui Cheng, Zhao Yue frowned slightly. Perhaps because everyone was named Zhao, she also felt some compassion for the Zhao family.
Especially when I saw that among the arrested people there were babies in their arms, I felt even more dissatisfied.
Hear the words.
Cui Cheng turned his head and looked at his junior sister's delicate face with a solemn expression: "Junior sister, you can say this in my ear, but you must not say it in front of outsiders.
Otherwise, it will bring trouble to my Guiyuan Sword Sect!"
"Senior Brother——" Seeing Cui Cheng's solemn expression, Zhao Yue's face suddenly showed dissatisfaction.
See this.
Cui Cheng sighed and explained patiently: "You have to understand that those who have always colluded with evil spirits have killed many fellow human beings, and even worse, caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people.
Since that time, Great Qin has set up laws, and anyone who colludes with evil spirits will be implicated in the nine tribes.
The purpose is to scare other people so that they will not take measures to collude with evil spirits.
Although the people of the Zhao family are innocent, the people of Guyue Village are even more innocent. If the Zhao family is spared and everyone follows suit in the future and colludes with evil spirits to harm the people, then who will feel innocent for those people who died tragically.
If you are like this, if someone is to investigate you, at least it will be a violation of the laws of the Qin Dynasty, and at worst, you may be accused of colluding with evil spirits.
At that time, even the Guiyuan Sword Sect will definitely not be able to protect you."
A few words.
Zhao Yue's face turned pale.
"I, I just said a few words casually, why, why are you colluding with evil spirits!"
"Some things don't necessarily mean you didn't do them if you didn't do them. In the eyes of a thoughtful person, one sentence can lay many charges on you, especially since I have many enemies from the Guiyuan Sword Sect.
If they really get caught, they will definitely make a big fuss.
So you can think about some things in your mind, but you can never say them out easily. Even if you say them out, you have to consider the severity of the situation."
Cui Cheng warned seriously. After speaking, he also felt a little tired.
For a junior sister like me who has never been out, she really caused herself a lot of trouble along the way.
If it weren't for his good strength and the Guiyuan Sword Sect's reputation in Guangyuan Mansion.
maybe.
Something happened to them a long time ago.
While the two were talking, everyone in the Zhao family had been forced into the Yamen.
Many people followed the Zhao family and stopped at the Yamen Gate.
They are waiting.
Wait for a result.
It didn't take long.
The chief clerk, Shi Qingsheng, walked out of the yamen, looked at all the people, and said loudly: "Tomorrow at noon, the Zhao family will be beheaded on the street in the east of the city!"
Finished.
He had already walked back into the Yamen, leaving only two Yamen servants guarding the door.
Beheaded in the street!
These four words caused an uproar among many people.
If they were just speculating on the way to the Yamen, then what Shi Qingsheng said now would have completely sentenced the Zhao family to death.
"Behead!"
Cui Cheng took a deep look, then pulled Zhao Yue away.
There is no need to look any further.
Beheading in the street has sealed the fate of the Zhao family.
He didn't take action at first, and he won't take action now. The Zhao family is destined to perish.
The news that the Zhao family was in jail and that they would be beheaded tomorrow was spread throughout the city.
Everybody knows.
Tomorrow at noon, the Zhao family will behead people in the east of the city.
this topic.
It has become a talking point for most people.
"Implicated the nine tribes and beheaded them in the street. The laws of the Qin Dynasty are as ruthless as ever!" In an inn, a person sighed with emotion and immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The people at the same table shook their heads and laughed when they heard this.
"Colluding with evil spirits deserves what they deserve. If it weren't for the constraints of Daqin's laws, I don't know how many people would seek refuge in the Eternal Life Alliance. No matter how many people are killed, the more people are killed, the fewer people will dare to seek refuge with evil spirits."
"Forget it, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us. Let's have a drink and go to the scene tomorrow to watch the beheading."
"Okay, drink and drink!"
The two of them exchanged cups and drank happily.
——
at the same time.
Hong Cheng also led a few people and turned everything inside and outside of Zhao's house upside down, and finally transported all the things back to the Yamen.
In the inner hall.
Shi Qingsheng was holding a brochure in his hand and was reporting something.
Shen Changqing sat at the top, holding a teacup and slowly paying attention to every word the other party said.
"Your Excellency, this time we found 2,000 taels of gold, 7,000 taels of silver, and some antique calligraphy and paintings in the Zhao family's residence. The preliminary estimate is that the value is about 20,000 taels—"
