Chapter 208: Incident
Fang Xiaoxiao did not hide it.
"Next, it'll definitely be the execution ground!"
"The execution ground! Don't you know that going there now is just suicide?"
"I know, and then what?"
"you……"
I was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by her words.
Pei Yan never expected her to be so crazy.
Aren’t you afraid of death?
Logically speaking, she is now a wanted criminal with a nationwide warrant for her arrest. Going to the execution ground would be tantamount to walking into a trap.
But then he thought again, based on his understanding of Fang Xiaoxiao, she would never make a decision to die.
So……
This is the thought.
Pei Yan remained silent, simply gazing at the woman before him, awaiting her explanation.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoxiao not only didn't explain, but also got up and walked towards the back door.
This……
As the crown prince, Pei Yan was unwilling to let her take such a risk, so he quickly stepped in front of her and stopped her.
"You can't go! You're going to your death!"
"So what if I'm going to die? I don't belong to this world anyway."
"Besides, what is our relationship? Why are you blocking my way? Get out of my way and don't waste my time going to my death."
"..."
Fang Xiaoxiao's words left Pei Yan momentarily speechless.
Yes, what exactly is their relationship, and why did I stop her from going to her death?
In the beginning, the only reason the two got together was because she could cure poison.
Seeing Pei Yan standing there in a daze, Fang Xiaoxiao reached out and pushed him aside, opened the door, and headed towards the execution ground.
Pei Yan was left standing there, stunned and unable to come to his senses for a long time.
The execution ground.
The crowd was in an uproar, many of them filled with anger.
They knew that the people kneeling on the execution ground were all Li Dashan's wives, children, and elderly relatives, and they understood why they had been arrested.
But no one dared to step forward and stop this miscarriage of justice.
Because they are the people.
The people do not fight with the officials.
Just in time.
A beautiful woman, dressed in a pink dress, riding a tall horse, was rushing towards the execution ground.
The woman's eyes were resolute, as if she had the spirit to face death without fear, which made people admire her greatly.
“Look, isn’t she one of the most wanted criminals recently?”
"Yes, it really is her. She is a hundred times more beautiful in person than in the portrait."
"How could she be so foolish as to walk right into a trap!"
Some praised it, while others felt sorry for it.
In front of the execution table at the execution ground.
Upon seeing the attire, the prefect's lips twitched involuntarily.
He never expected that this woman would dare to appear at the execution ground.
It's just looking for death.
"Snapped!"
He slammed his hand down on the table, making a dull thud.
"Guards, stop them! How dare they storm the execution ground! They have no respect for the law!"
The officers and soldiers gripped their spears, intending to pierce the woman on horseback through.
Fang Xiaoxiao immediately braked, pulled on the reins, and gave a "whoosh" to signal the horse to stop.
Looking at the corrupt official at the desk, she dismounted slowly, a hint of sarcasm on her lips.
"Why are you so nervous? I'm just a humble woman, there's no need for you all to come."
"Prefect, it's been a long time! I wonder if you've been sleeping well lately, or if you've been having nightmares!"
"Tsk tsk, I see your face is pale and your eyes are heavy. It looks like you've done too many bad things and haven't been sleeping well."
She strolled over, ignoring the soldiers surrounding her.
In her view, these were nothing but noisy flies, nothing more than a nuisance.
Just as she expected, although the officers and soldiers surrounded her, not one of them dared to take a single step forward.
She moves and they retreat, just like practicing Tai Chi.
When Fang Xiaoxiao arrived at the execution ground, she saw the Li family members in front of her, bound hand and foot, kneeling on the ground, their faces haggard.
That indescribable sorrow welled up in my heart instantly.
"Pfft!"
Kneeling before the crowd, her voice was filled with pain.
"I'm so sorry for making you suffer!"
At this moment, her actions garnered sympathy from countless people.
It was unclear who started clapping.
These few applause were like raindrops falling on a calm lake, one by one...
The applause grew louder and louder.
The sound reverberated throughout the entire execution ground like a tidal wave.
Even some of the officers and soldiers joined in, applauding.
On the stage.
Upon seeing this, the prefect immediately struck the gavel.
"Boom!"
"Silence! Silence! Anyone who dares to disrupt the execution ground will be punished as an equal and executed without exception!"
He thought his remarks would easily subdue the crowd, but to his surprise, they were like a stone sinking into the sea, failing to make the slightest ripple.
Thunderous applause erupted until Fang Xiaoxiao stood up.
"Thank you for your encouragement, folks. There's no need for this. Please be quiet."
"Although I am not from Jiangnan Province, I am a citizen of the Dayu Dynasty, so we can be considered family."
"Today, I have come to this execution ground not for any other reason than to seek justice and to clear the name of the wronged members of the Li family who died unjustly!"
Her words were resounding, and her small body burst forth with boundless power at that moment.
Just like the bright and dazzling stars in the night sky, attracting countless onlookers and shouts.
not far away.
Pei Yan, who had followed them all the way, was mingling in the crowd, watching all of this.
I was worried that she might actually do something foolish.
But I never expected it to be like this.
Behind Pei Yan followed a group of people with extraordinary skills.
He was prepared to save people at any time, but he couldn't possibly kill the corrupt official in front of so many people.
But at the very least, it can guarantee that Fang Xiaoxiao can escape unscathed.
This is the thought.
Xiao Man, who had been silent but was extremely worried about Fang Niangzi, spoke up at this moment.
"Young master, when shall we begin to rescue my wife?"
Upon seeing her savior trapped, Xiaoman was extremely anxious, fearing that something might happen to her wife.
Pei Yan responded softly.
"Don't rush, let's take a look first."
Faced with the young master's response, Xiaoman could only remain silent.
……
Military camp at the north gate of Jiangnan Province.
He Jinnian arrived at full speed with his assassins.
Seeing the soldiers blocking his way, he simply took the token from his waist.
"He Jinnian, the Chief Justice of Dayu, has come to the military camp to see Shangguan Yunfei, the Left Commander of the Capital Garrison. You all must go and report this immediately!"
Upon seeing the token, a deputy commander immediately replied.
"This humble servant greets Lord He, the Chief Justice."
"Go and report this immediately, don't delay!"
"Yes!"
After watching the other person leave, He Jinnian dismounted.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
A man in armor, with a full beard, walked with a powerful and imposing gait, leading several subordinates, and quickly approached the two men.
Shangguan Yunfei laughed.
"I heard that He Tisi recently cracked a case of human trafficking by corrupt officials in Changle County. It's truly gratifying!"
"I have long wanted to visit the Chief Justice of Changle County, but I never expected to meet him in person today. It is truly my good fortune!"
Hearing Shangguan Yunfei's rough voice, fierce appearance, and imposing presence, He Jinnian quickly waved his hand and said modestly.
"General Shangguan is serious. Speaking out for the people and arresting corrupt officials is indeed my duty."
"Now, I have come here because I wish to ask General Shangguan for his assistance..."
