Chapter 774: Climbing the Wall at Night

Chapter 774: Climbing the Wall at Night

Scorching sun.

Many people gathered at the Wumen Vegetable Market.

Chang Weihao, Long Xiangfei and more than 300 others carried flags with the word "behead" and marched around the city to the Wumen Caishikou for public display.

For such a large-scale beheading case of traitors, even the executioners were transferred from several states.

As for the Jinzhou rebellion, the news spread to the people since the day the victory report came.

No matter they were from powerful families or common people, they gradually understood that the empress of Cang Yun Kingdom was indeed the heir to the throne in accordance with the will of heaven.

Not long after, good news came from the border, and the national strength of Cangyun Kingdom once again reached an unprecedented level!

Watching those rebels being pushed onto the gallows, the people talked a lot. They didn't care who would be the emperor, they only cared whether they had food to eat, clothes to wear, and whether the world was peaceful and prosperous.

The executioner was the newly appointed Dali Temple Minister Li Huili.

He was dressed in a dignified official uniform, standing under the scorching sun, reading out the charges against Chang Weihao and Long Xiangfei's clansmen to the huge but quiet crowd, and outlining the prisoners' cards with a red pen.

If it weren't for these people, he might not have been separated from Tao Wenjun back then.

If they had not separated, my teacher and his wife would not have died, Tao Wenjun would not have remarried, and their family of three would have been the happiest people in the world!

When Li Huili saw the red-penciled words that Chang Taibao had died of a sudden illness last night, a nameless anger rose in his heart.

This kind of person doesn't understand why the King of Yue would save traitors and villains, but he can't say anything!

The second floor of a restaurant in Caishikou.

Xiao Zhenzhen, Xiao Chen, and Zhou Yiqing have already drunk a cup of tea.

"That person is Li Huili?" Xiao Zhenzhen couldn't help but frown, "Why did he end up in the Ministry of Justice? He was also the new Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, and he pushed the former Chief Justice of the Dali Temple to a promotion."

Xiao Chen said: "It was promoted by the Right Prime Minister."

Looking at Li Huili, Li Huili's files flashed through his mind. This man is indeed talented and knowledgeable, but he has been in Jingzhao Yin for so many years, and has been stable for so many years. Why did he accept the promotion of the right prime minister? Moreover, the left prime minister must have known about this and supported it, so Yao'er also agreed to promote him to the Ministry of Justice. "First place in the palace examination." He is indeed worthy of the position of Dali Temple.

Xiao Zhenzhen chuckled. She had already seen Tao Wenjun in the crowd who had already squeezed to the front. She knew that Tao Wenjun must want to watch these people being executed with his own eyes.

Xiao Chen continued, "Tao Wenjun told me that day that she wanted to move out of the academy. Later, Jian Wu reported that Li Huili often climbed the wall of the house she rented in the middle of the night."

"Climb the wall?"

Xiao Zhenzhen frowned speechlessly, "Then Sister Tao, have you reported it to the police?" Isn't this just using the official position to bully Tao Wenjun?

"Brother Emperor, after I go to war, you have to help Sister Tao more."

Xiao Chen glanced at her and said, "There are quite a lot of people you're worried about."

"Of course, I'm still worried about Sister Aying. My Royal Brother, please don't bully Sister Aying when the time comes."

Xiao Chen was stunned and smiled unnaturally. How could he bully Xie Ying? When they walked past each other, it was just a polite greeting.

"Royal brother, you have to promise me." Xiao Zhenzhen knocked on the table and said seriously.

"Hmm." Xiao Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at the bright sun outside, while Li Huili also ordered people to confirm the identity of the criminal.

The people were talking in low voices, but when Li Huili announced that it was three quarters past noon and the execution was about to begin, the crowd's discussions suddenly died down.

Some timid people began to cover their eyes, not daring to look at the blood, yet not wanting to miss this shocking scene.

Xiao Zhenzhen also stood in front of the window, and Zhou Yiqing pulled her away, "Don't look."

"I'm not afraid."

"Have you ever seen a real murder? What should you do if you have a nightmare at night?"

"Don't you still have nightmares?"

Zhou Yiqing: “…”

He looked at Xiao Chen who was calmly drinking tea on the side, so did he hear it, or did he not react?

Xiao Zhenzhen also realized that although Zhou Yiqing always slept on the floor in her room, but——

It's still not in accordance with etiquette.

"how?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyes and looked at the two of them with an expression as if he didn't hear anything and didn't know anything.

Xiao Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled, then looked outside. At that instant, Zhou Yiqing raised his hand and covered her eyes.

Xiao Zhenzhen pulled his hand away and saw no head, a fallen body, or a body still kneeling, "Ah!!!"

She was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly and threw herself into Zhou Yiqing's arms, trembling with fear, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

"It's so scary." The blood was gushing into the sky, it was so horrifying.

Zhou Yiqing quickly said to Xiao Chen, "Your Highness Prince Chen, I will send Zhen'er back first."

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Zhou Yiqing always goes along with Zhen'er and protects Zhen'er. He feels at ease knowing that he is with Zhen'er.

Zhou Yiqing supported Xiao Zhenzhen and walked away.

Xiao Chen looked at the intimate actions of the two, his brows slightly frowned, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He couldn't help but think of the dream in which there was always a woman whose face he couldn't see clearly, always swaying in front of him like a fairy.

He was upset and wanted to drive the person away, but he couldn't catch up with the woman.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown and held his forehead. Has he not recited the Buddha's name for a long time and has been completely contaminated by the mundane world?

He saw that some people were leaving with their heads in their hands, while others were brave enough to step forward and help the soldiers collect the bodies. When most of the crowd had dispersed, he suddenly saw Xie Ying and Tao Wenjun supporting each other and walking to Chang Weihao's body.

Tao Wenjun was in her twenties after all, and had experienced too many life and death situations, while Xie Ying was only sixteen or seventeen years old. In such a bloody scene, he clearly saw the girl covering her mouth while bravely standing with Tao Wenjun.

Is she afraid or not?

Tao Wenjun spat at Chang Weihao, then left with Xie Ying.

Xiao Chen also stood up. Before leaving, he looked out of the window and saw Li Huili facing the sun, watching Tao Wenjun and Xie Ying leave.

"Your Majesty." Jian Wu asked when he saw Xiao Chen coming out of the private room, "Are we going back to the palace now?"

Xiao Chen said: "Go back to the academy."

"Yes."

But when going downstairs, Xiao Chen said, "Wait for me for a quarter of an hour."

"It's the prince."

After walking out of the restaurant, Xiao Chen went straight to where Li Huili was just now, but when he went there, he saw Li Huili going in the direction where Tao Wenjun and Xie Ying left.

He had no choice but to keep up.

Unexpectedly, after turning a corner, there were two roads and he didn't know which one to go.

So, thinking that Li Huili was most likely following Tao Wenjun to the academy, he chose one of the roads.

As I was walking, I heard someone crying - the baby was vomiting?

While thinking about it, he saw a familiar woman in blue clothes vomiting against the wall not far away.

Seeing Xie Ying, Xiao Chen took two steps back and pretended that he had never been there.

When he reached the intersection, two men, one fat and one thin, cursed their parents, "Damn it, today's luck is too bad. When I get the money, I will make up for it!"
