Chapter 509: The "Frustrated" Young Marquis in a World of Female Dominance
Just when Jiang Tianming's face turned pale, a burst of surprised cheers suddenly came:
"Found it, General, it's here!"
As the words fell, three soldiers came trotting over, each holding a pitch-black object in their hands.
It was exactly the appearance of Huo Tong that His Majesty had described to her.
"very good"
General Zhongyong showed a delighted expression and waved his hand, "The rest of you, please withdraw your troops. Half of you will stay here, and the other half will come with me to report to the emperor."
He looked at Jiang Tianming, who was lying limp on the ground, with disdain:
"Keep the man in good care of him, and wait for your majesty's disposal!"
Jiang Tianming was already stunned at this moment, his head buzzing, muttering: "How could this happen, how could this happen? This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening..."
Those things were obviously lost, so why did they suddenly appear in her house and were reported and searched out? Isn't this asking for her life?
Oh my God, are you kidding me!
The imperial edict came down quickly from the palace.
According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:
Today, there is a powerful general named Jiang Tianming, who has secretly possessed a sharp weapon and is plotting a crime. He should be executed according to the law, but considering his ancestors' military achievements and the fact that no casualties have been caused, he is being spared the death penalty and the pain of imprisonment. He is immediately dismissed from his post, his property confiscated, and expelled from the capital.
Admire this!
After the official read the imperial edict, everyone in the general's mansion was stunned. Some people simply sat down on the ground and began to cry out loud.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over.
Their fine clothes and their luxurious life were about to be said goodbye. Moreover, the whole family was accustomed to living in the capital.
Where will they go after leaving Beijing?
Oh my God, please open your eyes!
Wei Shimu felt even more dizzy: So that’s it, so that’s it!
He wondered why Lu Liluo was so kind, not only did he not continue to torture him, but he also sent him to the General's Mansion to be the legitimate ruler. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?
Wei Shimu smiled bitterly.
With Lu Liluo's current position of power, wouldn't it be as easy for him to kill himself as to crush an ant?
But she didn't want him to die.
He has to live in such anxiety and suffer every day.
Wei Shimu wanted to say that Lu Liluo's revenge was undoubtedly successful. Since getting married, he had been living a life worse than death.
Jiang Qiu Shui, this pervert, tortured him to death every day. The wounds were all in private places and he couldn't tell anyone about them.
And if he resisted even a little, Jiang Qiushui would punish him even more severely. Wei Shimu was really scared now, and he didn't know how a woman could be so crazy.
Jiang Qiu Shui's mood at this moment was not much better than Wei Shimu's.
She thought that she had been very careful in every aspect this time, and she didn't even seek death like she did in her previous life.
As for actions, she had just had the slightest thought of disturbing the court, but how come this dandy empress noticed it?
Can't?
The more Jiang Qiu Shui thought about it, the more creepy she felt, as if there was an omnipresent eye staring at her every move.
In the previous life, Jiang Tianming's Fire Commands did fall into her hands.
They had played a huge role when she helped Wei Shimu seize the throne. Before she could figure out how to get it in advance, Jiang Tianming was dismissed from his post and his property was confiscated.
But even if this queen was reborn, she died long ago in her previous life, so it is impossible for her to know what happened after she came here.
Lu Liluo: Do you believe me if I say it was an accident?
Jiang Qiushui was completely baffled, and her only resentment was directed at Wei Shimu. She got up from the ground, grabbed Wei Shimu's hair, and pulled him over, kicking and slapping him in the face.
"You're such a jinx again! I told you it would be unlucky to marry me. Look at what you've done to the Jiang family..."
Jiang Tianming and Luo Chengdong also sensed something was amiss with her beating and scolding. Indeed, ever since this son-in-law married into the family, bad things had been happening one after another.
Everything was fine before.
The two of them just watched coldly, without stopping. Wei Shimu covered his beaten face and said nothing. The torture he had endured had severely damaged him both physically and mentally.
He no longer cared about this minor skin injury.
But the official announcing the decree could not bear it any longer:
"Okay, don't say I didn't warn you."
"You'd better behave yourself and follow the officers on your way early. You might find a place to rest before dark... Otherwise~"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianming suddenly woke up.
"Okay, it's already late and you still have the heart to make trouble." He stopped Jiang Qiushui who was still trying to commit violence:
"It's all your mother's fault. Try your best to prepare. Otherwise, the days ahead, alas, might be difficult..."
Although they said they were making preparations, they were not actually allowed to take anything valuable with them. Even clothes made of slightly better material were not allowed to be taken away by the officials.
However, they turned a blind eye to insignificant pots, pans, and daily necessities.
When the Jiang family had almost finished packing, the officers shouted and pushed and shoved their way towards the nearest South City Gate.
Along the way, there were passers-by pointing and talking at the family.
The Jiang family members covered their faces with their sleeves and bowed their heads deeply. Especially Wei Shimu, after all, he was also a "dead man", right?
I still feel a little guilty.
When they reached the Meridian Gate, the crowd of onlookers suddenly dwindled. All they heard was three cannon shots: "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Passersby rushed forward: "Look, look, someone was beheaded today!"
"Oh, I know. Why rush? Isn't it just the family of the former Duke Jian?"
"Ah, what happened to Prince Jian?"
"Oh, you don't know yet, do you? A few days ago, when the emperor was giving birth, someone mixed the spices in the delivery room with drugs that could cause the emperor to have a difficult labor, and almost killed our little princess."
"Later, it was discovered that it was Prince Jian who did it, so today is the day she will be beheaded..."
As the people around him talked, Wei Shimu suddenly raised his head.
What are these people talking about?
Prince Jian, isn't that his former wife, Lu Lanxi? Jiang Qiushui was even more shocked. She had originally wanted to find an opportunity to contact this person.
After all, anyone who became an emperor in their previous life must have some hidden talents and luck, which might be used by me. How could he be beheaded right now?
Why did God cut off every path she had envisioned in advance?
The discussion among the people around was still intermittent:
"So that's how it is. Then this Prince Jian really deserves to die. They're all family, yet he actually attacked a man and his unborn child. He's truly heartless and deserves death!"
"That's right, our emperor is already very benevolent. Even though he committed such a serious crime, he only executed Prince Jian. None of the servants in the palace were affected. He only asked them to guard the imperial mausoleum for Prince Jian."
