Chapter 1808 is not tall, but the tone is not small(1/2)
Xue Huairen spoke out in person, which was obviously something no one expected. This also shows that he is really under great pressure from public opinion!
It also revealed a message that this matter had nothing to do with him, at least it had nothing to do with the Xue family.
But is this really the case?
People's inertia of thought does not think this way, which has also brought some stigma to the Xue family.
Two days later, the discussion about this matter became less intense. The focus was shifted by an incident, because today is the day of Xue Jianzhong's execution!
According to normal procedures, those who commit such major crimes should be paraded through the streets and beheaded at the Meridian Gate.
However, because of his special status, he was exempted from being paraded in the streets, and his beheading was changed to hanging, so that the whole body could be preserved.
In fact, it is common for family members to be implicated in such major crimes.
But because he was a member of the Xue family, and because Xue Huairen killed his relatives with great righteousness, he not only escaped unscathed, but also won a good reputation.
The execution was destined to attract attention.
The execution will still be carried out in public, but it will not be watched as closely as other criminals, and there are still great restrictions...
According to the pre-arranged agreement, the chief officer who oversees the execution is Guan Ning. Firstly, he was the one who discovered the case, and secondly, no one really wants to be the chief officer.
Everyone knew that the chief official who ordered the execution must have offended the Xue family, and he did so thoroughly, so the job fell on Guan Ning.
Only this stubborn guy didn't take it into consideration at all.
But everyone knows that Guan Ning was assassinated. According to the young master of the Lu family who went to visit him in person, it was difficult to even get out of bed. How could he be imprisoned?
Does that mean the execution will be postponed?
The citizens of the city were talking a lot, and perhaps this was the main reason for the Xue family's revenge.
The execution place is located at a street intersection in the center of Shangjing City, where a gallows has been built.
Numerous government officials were under martial law to block the onlookers.
"Whether the execution will be carried out or not, when will it be?"
"yes."
"But this formation is quite daunting. Look at the supervisor's desk. No one is here."
"Then who dares to come? Who dares to give this order?"
"You dare, Prince Guan, but I'm afraid Prince Guan won't be able to come."
"Why."
"If such a serious crime is not punished, where is the justice?"
"Originally, it was a sure thing, but something unexpected happened. Prince Guan was assassinated. It must have been premeditated."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Everyone was talking and making a lot of noise. At this moment, some officials drove the people watching to make way for a passage.
People stopped and looked, and saw a special chair being pushed over. Why is it special?
Because this chair has two wheels.
This is not the point. The point is that the person sitting on top is none other than Guan Ning.
"Is Prince Guan here?"
"Prince Guan is here!"
People stood on tiptoes and rushed forward.
The assassination incident has been spreading in the past two days, and all kinds of rumors have spread. Everyone wants to know what is going on with Guan Ning.
"It seems that Prince Guan has really been assassinated. Look at how pale his face is."
"I also seem to be in poor spirits and look weak."
"It's quite interesting. Even though Prince Guan is like this, he still has to be imprisoned."
Listening to the discussion in his ears, Guan Ning looked calm.
He is definitely coming.
The prison officer still did his part because he was really worried about others.
The Xue family has too much power. What if there is a sudden change?
This is all very possible.
So he came in person.
Of course, I still have to keep pretending.
Jin Yue pushed Guan Ning to the case where the prison officer was sitting.
He is the only one.
Apart from him, no one dares to come to this position.
"Let the surrounding area be quiet and I'll say a few words."
Guan Ning ordered Wei Ling next to him.
"quiet!"
"quiet!"
The surrounding officials shouted, and the scene gradually became quiet.
Guan Ning was afraid that the onlookers wouldn't hear, so he asked Jin Yue to push forward.
"I am Guan Ning, and I am also the prison officer who will carry out today's execution!"
His voice was not loud, and he deliberately pretended to feel forced.
You have been seriously injured, but you are still full of energy. Isn't this too fake?
"I believe you have all heard about my assassination?"
Guan Ning tried his best to let the sound pass through.
"It's true. I was assassinated, and even one of our police chiefs died because of it. He was very young, he was only seventeen years old, and he still has a long future!"
Guan Ning's voice was so emotional that those who heard it couldn't help but feel it.
"Even I myself have walked through hell, and my survival depends entirely on luck!"
His style changed.
"This means that some people don't want me to live. Maybe I ruined their good things, maybe I offended them..."
Although this statement is very common, it is easy for people to think of it.
"mean!"
"Shameless!"
In a separately designated area on the left side of the execution ground, several people couldn't help but curse in secret.
They are all members of the Xue family. Today is the day of Xue Jianzhong's execution, and they are here to see him off.
What he said was obviously that there was no three hundred taels of silver here. Of course Guan Ning knew that he did it on purpose.
No matter what force is behind it, you have taken the blame and cannot escape even if you want.
Maybe there won't be any substantial results, but public opinion can also drown you. This is the sharpest knife.
It is too difficult to bring down the Xue family, and it needs to be done from multiple angles.
The surroundings are quieter.
Guan Ning continued: "But I'm not afraid. The more you don't want me to live, the more I want to live well!"
"cough!"
"cough!"
He coughed violently several times.
An image of the victim's self-reliance is formed in everyone's senses.
It’s not easy for Prince Guan either!
People subconsciously felt sympathy and were filled with righteous indignation!
"The crimes committed by Xue Jianzhong are too numerous to describe!"
After Guan Ning coughed, he loudly said: "As long as I still have breath, I will let the criminals be killed and punished!"
"Bring the criminal to the execution ground!"
This metaphor was even more obvious. People's eyes subconsciously looked over there where the Xue family was, making them sit on pins and needles.
The resentment is too heavy.
Guan Ning absorbed it with great joy.
