Chapter 380 He is already a waste person and cannot serve His Majesty
Chen Ruoshui was thrown into a cage with more than a hundred people... no, more than a hundred beasts.
What they do is even worse than animals.
Everyone had been tortured, and Zhou Buyan believed in retaliation. He asked them one by one which villagers they had killed, and returned all the harm they suffered to them while sparing their lives.
Zhou Buyan has entered the world because of Chu Xingchen. Because of her, he has become flesh and blood, and even learned to think from others' perspective.
He couldn't imagine how the villagers could survive seeing their children being killed and seeing their wives, daughters and mothers being so humiliated.
Because he knew how painful it was, he didn't let these people die easily.
All those who participated in the humiliation of the female villagers were subjected to special torture, so that even if they became ghosts and were reincarnated, they would not be able to be full human beings in their next life.
There were more than a hundred beasts. Because they were too seriously injured, they could no longer do anything to Chen Ruoshui, but being locked up with them was a complete nightmare for Chen Ruoshui.
Especially Zhou Buyan sent someone to tell Chen Ruoshui in detail what these beasts had done.
Chen Ruoshui's hell mode has officially started.
Their verdicts came down quickly, and the more than a hundred Qi people, the leaders and those who committed the most evil, were all sentenced to death - Ling Chi.
As for the others and Chen Ruoshui, they were beheaded, and Qiu Houwen was beheaded to sacrifice the souls of the people of Yancun.
The Yancun case caused a big stir in Dachu. The Dachu newspaper reported this tragedy, which caused countless people to lament and abuse.
But many people came out to plead for Chen Ruoshui.
Various crises are inevitable around the charming heroine, and this is when the male protagonists come into play.
As soon as the verdict was handed down, many people jumped out to plead for Chen Ruoshui.
"Ruoshui was just being taken advantage of. She didn't know it at all. Your Majesty, her crime is not worthy of death."
The first is Prince Meng.
Prince Meng was caught riding a horse by Chu Xingchen to set an example. He has been detained at home recently, but because of Chen Ruoshui, he immediately jumped out to plead for mercy.
In addition to Prince Meng, Prince Fan and the miracle doctor from the Valley of Divine Doctors also joined in. Finally, the genius general who happened to return to Feng'an City also joined the plea.
He said he wanted to use his military exploits to pay for Chen Ruoshui's life.
No matter how sincere their words were, Chu Xingchen only found them ridiculous.
"I would like to see how many people intercede for her again."
Chu Xingchen used to watch TV and always saw the Queen of Autumn being beheaded, and it was almost the same in Dachu. Except for treason, treason and other criminals who were immediately executed, the general execution of death row prisoners was after the frost in autumn and before the winter solstice.
Chu Xingchen didn't think about changing this. It would be good to let them suffer more, because they deserved it.
Moreover, Chu Xingchen also wanted to see if he could catch the big fish behind Chen Ruoshui.
She didn't know yet that a coup had taken place in the Qi Palace.
The Emperor of Qi suddenly became critically ill due to poisoning. The eldest prince, who was originally the most competitive, forced his way into the palace and was escorted by the four princes. In the end, both sides were defeated miserably.
However, the third prince Qi Heng, who was the least competitive, suddenly rose to prominence and became the Emperor of Qi after the death of the old emperor.
While the people were still sleeping, the emperor of Qi was changed.
Qi Heng abolished the main concubine and made Luo Wan'er, the side concubine, the queen.
Qi Heng took Luo Wan'er back with him, but because it didn't count as a marriage, he was forced to marry the daughter of an important minister of Qi as his concubine. With the help of his father-in-law, he successfully reached the top.
But after becoming the emperor, he immediately turned against his father-in-law and killed his family to prevent his relatives from interfering in politics.
No one expected Qi Heng to be so ruthless, and strangely, no one objected to Luo Wan'er becoming the queen except at the beginning.
No one expected that Qi Heng would become the final winner, and Luo Waner would also become the queen of Qi, with no one objecting.
At the same time, Qi State gradually reduced the frequency of purchasing snowflake salt at high prices.
Some truths also surfaced with these changes.
The palace changed its owner overnight, and in the next two days, there was a general cleaning. In the chaos, even murders were not noticed, and it was not surprising at all.
In the backyard where the eunuchs lived, a young man in eunuch costumes threw a body into the dry well with an expressionless face. He wiped the blood on his face and hands with a handkerchief and slowly threw the handkerchief into the dry well.
Then the manhole cover was closed.
The manhole cover blocked the rotten odor coming from the dry well. The young eunuch lay on the manhole cover and looked at the moonlight above his head. "All ten people in the palace have been cleaned up. Now there is only one left."
He looked towards the Queen's Palace, "Luo Wan'er, you are the only one left."
He slowly got up and went back to the house, took out a dagger from under the bed, put it in his shoe and was about to walk to the Queen's Palace, when he met two eunuchs at the door.
The two eunuchs held the Dachu newspaper in their hands, "The Dachu newspaper has finally arrived. The people in Yancun are also miserable, but who told Dachu to be stingy? If he had sold the snowflake salt well and disclosed how to make it, this would not have happened.
What a tragedy.”
The little eunuch suddenly looked at the newspapers in their hands, "Can you lend me the Dachu newspaper?"
His voice was hoarse and tight, and the two eunuchs didn't care. They had already read it and handed it to him casually, "Remember to return it to us."
"Yes, definitely."
He promised, took the newspaper into the house and closed the door. He leaned behind the door and couldn't wait to read. When he saw the report in the Dachu newspaper, saying that other people had been caught and were about to be executed in Lingchi, he burst into tears.
"Brother, sister-in-law, have you seen it in the sky? His Majesty has avenged you."
He bit his hand to prevent himself from crying.
Chu Xingchen and the others never expected that Mao Dan, the only person whose body was not found in Yan Village, was already in the Qi Palace at this time.
When disaster struck, Mao Dan wrote a letter in blood, but he could do nothing to face those people.
His parents died young and he grew up with his brother. His sister-in-law was very kind to him and she was like a mother to him. However, his nephew was killed and his brother also died.
In order to protect his pregnant sister-in-law, he was also stabbed. He was already dead, but at the last moment, in order to protect him, his sister-in-law took the initiative to hold the culprit back.
His sister-in-law died, but he still breathed a sigh of relief. He crawled out from the pile of bones and followed the white-faced man who had only given orders but not done anything.
He wanted revenge and kept following the white-faced man.
He followed him to the State of Qi and saw him recruiting eunuchs for the palace of Qi State. Only then did he realize that he was an eunuch and that his enemy was in the deep palace.
In order to find out his master behind the scenes and avenge Yancun, he signed up with a false identity, became a eunuch, and followed him all the way to the Qi Palace.
He had never seen the newspaper until now.
It always takes some time for Da Chu to report to Qi. If he had seen the newspaper earlier, he might not have taken this step.
There is no turning back now.
His dream of becoming the number one scholar and becoming His Majesty's husband was no longer possible.
From the time of the disaster in Yancun, to the time he decided to enter the palace, it was no longer possible.
It's not like he didn't think of asking His Majesty for help at that time, but in the end, hatred led him to take this path.
"That's fine..."
Mao Dan thought in a daze, His Majesty has avenged everyone, he just needs to kill the mastermind behind it.
