He did not implicate the other Zhou family members, but Emperor Yong Ping’s intention to cut the Gordian knot was clear.

The Emperor then passed the matter to the Ministry of Justice for verification. That evening, the Zhou family was released. Early the next morning, Governor Zhou and Mute were pushed to the downtown street of Changganli to be beheaded.

All capital crimes were executed in the market to serve as a deterrent to the people.

Even though the rebel army was currently attacking the city, there were still many people who came out to watch. Of course, it could not be compared to the crowds that usually executed criminals. However, in this critical period, it was still considered a rare number of people.

Three layers inside and outside, it was so tightly surrounded that not even water could leak out.

There were actually quite a number of people from the Zhou family who came to see Provincial Governor Zhou off. No one expected it to be so fast, not even Daliang. She was crying non-stop from the moment she saw Provincial Governor Zhou. Old Madam Zhou fainted from crying and Chancellor Zhou pointed at Provincial Governor Zhou and scolded him…ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Noᴠᴇlꜰire.nᴇt

In short, the execution was even more exciting than the actual killing.

It was that mute. He stretched out a finger and pointed at the sky and the ground. He cried until his snot and tears flowed down his face. It was needless to say how sad he was. He was shouting something in a hoarse voice, and his face was filled with regret. He kowtowed to the ground desperately, not because he wanted someone to save him, but because he hated himself.

He hated himself for trusting the mistress of the Xie family so easily. She swore to give him a way out and even gave him a thousand taels of silver.

He confessed everything that he could and couldn’t. He wished he could take off his underwear.

In the end, he was forced to confess and was killed along with Yuan Xiong.

What happened to the aristocratic family’s character and words?

People nowadays are so free and unrestrained, they don’t even care about their face?

Mute was in the business of killing and robbing. His hands were stained with countless lives. His way of doing things was filled with viciousness and evil. However, he only treated himself as a low-class person and not someone from an aristocratic family. Otherwise, he would also be benevolent, polite, wise, and trustworthy. Every spittle was a nail.

Therefore, when he was caught and had a narrow escape, he did not doubt Xiao Baoxin’s sincerity in negotiating.

Of course, he couldn’t make the other party promise him anything under those circumstances. What else could he do if he wrote a written pledge for him?

He could only rely on his many years of influence to really think that the aristocratic families were all trustworthy and kept their promises…Who would have thought that such a beautiful person, a fairy-like figure, noble and cold, was pregnant with a child?

Was she not afraid of being struck by lightning when she lied?

Ever since he found out that he had been sentenced to execution, Mute had never let go of his index finger. He regretted it so much. Why did he believe Madam Xie?!

He firmly believed that he had been poisoned!

“Ahhhh!” Mute wailed loudly, tears streaming down his face. He pointed to the sky, wishing he could use it as a catalyst to draw lightning down and strike Xiao Baoxin to death.

He didn’t keep his word and damaged his virtue!

However, he didn’t receive the lightning even before he died.

Cai Wei had witnessed the entire farce. The Zhou family members were crying their hearts out, while she was laughing so hard that her intestines were almost broken. Especially when she saw Mute’s posture of raising a finger to ask the heavens speechlessly before he died, tears of laughter flowed out.

Those who knew that Mute had made her madam suffer, those who didn’t know would think that Mute was repenting on his deathbed.

The commoners loved to watch the show the most. Every year, there would be a sea of people when they killed people. No one felt guilty or pitiful. Those were all heinous crimes.

Although Cai Wei was smiling, she didn’t feel any pity for Mute and Provincial Governor Zhou.

If it wasn’t for her wife’s proper command and the loyal guards, they might have been the ones who died that night. She wouldn’t have been able to watch the killing at the downtown area today.

Evil people would naturally be tortured by evil people. It was right for her madam to treat Mute like this. What kind of faith was there to speak of with this kind of person?

Faith was something that was spoken to people with faith. People like Mute, whose hands were stained with blood and who robbed people, deserved to end up like this.

Cai Wei spat on the ground and turned to leave without even looking back.

The Zhou family still had the face to cry. If it were her, she would dig a hole and bury her face in it!

After watching the show, Cai Wei returned to the Xie residence in high spirits. Now, all the shops on the street were closed and there was no one to shop. When he returned to the residence, he talked to Xiao Baoxin happily.

Cai Wei had a glib tongue and was also quick-witted. Whatever she said would be lively and interesting.

Especially when she imitated Mute and pointed a finger at the sky, crying and snatching the earth. Xiao Baoxin laughed until his stomach hurt, and the other three maids also laughed until they were swaying back and forth.

When Xie Wan and Wang Qiang walked into the house, they were shocked.

“What’s wrong? Have the rebels been repelled?”They thought that Xie Xian had sent a message from the Palace, otherwise, how could they be so happy?

Before she got close, she saw Xiao Baoxin’s little tongue.

Xiao Baoxin smiled and shook his head. Cai Wei was a good talker, so naturally, she didn’t need to trouble the matriarch to clear their doubts.

After hearing this, Xie Wan shook her head and smiled. She didn’t expect her to be this kind of Xiao Baoxin.

He was very crafty.

That Zhou family.” Wang Qiong shook her head and sighed for a long time.

In the past, in their circle of noble ladies, wasn’t Zhou Weiniang always a person in the limelight? He was handsome and talented, and his father was an extremely noble chancellor. At that age, she was not engaged yet. Everyone thought that their family had deliberately sent her to the palace.

From the past to the present, who would have thought that she would end up like this?

Starting from her, the entire Zhou family was destroyed.

Xie Wan glanced at Wang Qiong and knew that she was hurting her kind. The Wang family had fallen, and so had the Zhou family. In just a year, the two families had retreated from the center of power.

It was hard to say for a moment.

People said that the world had changed, but they seemed to be in a Timeline where everything was spinning rapidly. Their former neighbors were eliminated batch by batch.

Wang Qiang also realized that her lamentation was inappropriate and hurriedly smiled.””You don’t know how scared I was the night before. If it were me, I would have been paralyzed by fear.”

“I’m already paralyzed.” Xie Wan sat down beside Xiao Baoxin. She reached out and was about to touch Xiao Baoxin’s stomach when she suddenly stopped and asked,”Can I touch it?”

Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen it before when Wang Shier’s mother was pregnant. However, they were relatives living next door after all. They were not that close, so she was not that curious.

“Of course.” Xiao Baoxin nodded.”

‘Of course not! I can’t be touched by anyone!

The ‘zhen’ in her stomach was not satisfied.

As a result, when Xie Wan stretched out her hand,’Zhen’ directly kicked her to express her dissatisfaction.

In the end, Xie Wan was delighted and her voice went up an octave.”Hey, little nephew, are you responding to me?”

He put his hand on it again and gave it another kick.

Xie Wanquan thought that her little nephew liked her to play with her and repeatedly angered ‘zhen’ to the point where smoke seeped out of his seven orifices.

She had been dreaming for the past few days and had yet to wake up. It was probably true..
