Chapter 260: Disaster On The Execution Ground
Translator: Vesper
When Nangong Che returned to his room, he was so furious that he smashed everything inside.
“What is wrong with all of you? Sending people to the Great General’s Residence mindlessly, do you think the situation isn’t bad enough?” Nangong Che’s gaze was like a viper looking those people in front of him.
They somewhat shuddered under his gaze, “Your Highness, this...this...”
“Zhu Wei will be executed three days later. All of you better act rationally. If you create any more trouble, don’t blame me for being vicious and merciless. And, explain to Senior Minister Zhu properly.” Nangong Che felt that it was a terrible decision to bring Zhu Wei along with him.
Zhu Wei was usually not bad of a person but he couldn’t control himself when he saw women.
He could tolerate if he only played with women. When worse comes to worst, he could step in if anything goes wrong, but that fool actually went after the wife of Xiao Empire’s Great General.
He couldn’t deny that woman was indeed beautiful, especially her qualities. He was even attracted to her, let alone Zhu Wei. But what sort of eyes did he have when looking at her? Ning Meng Yao didn’t seem like an ordinary lady from the way she dressed. Since he dared to provoke her, it was clear he simply didn’t want to live anymore.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
A hint of disgust and anger flashed at the bottom of Nangong Che’s eyes. All his plans were foiled. He simply overestimated himself.
“Tian Chang, what do you say Nangong Che will do?” Xiao Qi Feng looked at Qiao Tian Chang and his wife who have not left and asked.
Because of this, they had exposed Nangong Che to the public. This was a very good outcome, and he was very pleased with this outcome.
Qiao Tian Chang sneered, “Now that things have already arrived at this stage, what else can he do other than to accept it?”
“That is so.” Xiao Qi Feng was preoccupied. If Nangong Che dared to have any means, he was afraid the matter could not be concluded. This was not what he wanted, but it shouldn’t matter to them.
“Since it’s like this, prepare for the execution three days later and have someone to investigate the officials they have met in the capital. Kill them after you have clarified.” He didn’t believe that nobody knew of this matter. Rather, it must’ve been suppressed.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Even though Nangong Che didn’t take any action, it didn’t mean that Senior Minister Zhu wouldn’t. After all, he adored his only son a lot.
Three days later, at the execution ground, Qiao Tian Chang sat on the supervisory stage. He looked at the cram and disordered crowd as they read Zhu Wei’s offense.
“Kill him.” He didn’t know who started to shout but more and more voices were heard after the first.
They even went to the extent of throwing rotten eggs and vegetables towards the middle of the execution ground, and the soldiers at the side were implicated.
Beheading this bast*rd who had no care for human lives was simply a satisfaction to everyone. They wouldn’t care about anything else.
Qiao Tian Chang looked at the crowd and the corners of his mouth hooked upward, “Noon is here, execute him.”
When the executioner raised his blade high up to execute Zhu Wei, an arrow flew straight towards the middle of the execution ground.
Qiao Tian Chang smiled grimly and took the bow and arrows by the side and shot two arrows. The two arrows flew, one split the incoming arrow into two and the other went straight towards the direction where the arrows came from.
“Everyone, get down.” Qiao Tian Chang shouted to the commoners who were at the execution ground. Once they heard, they hurriedly got down and didn’t move. At the same time, hundreds of elite troops appeared. Lei An and Lin Zi You were among them, together with Qing Xuan and the others.
The person who shot the arrows from on top of the city gate tower was pierced by an arrow through his shoulder, and blood was flowing profusely.
“Kill all the assassin without mercy.” Qiao Tian Chang watched the person in black leap from the city gate tower and he ordered them quickly.
Lei An and the others were excited to the utmost and hurriedly matched each other to protect the people present. Everyone pulled their opponents to somewhere distant and empty. At the same time, Xiao Qi Tian brought forth his secret soldiers to guide the people away from the fighting.
After all the execution ground was cleared, Xiao Qi Tian and the others surrounded them in the middle, “Kill them.”
“Yes.”
Both sides were engaged in a fight. Without the citizens around, Qiao Tian Chang and the others naturally went all out.
When Nangong Che received the news, he went pale from anger. Did Senior Minister Zhu think that he was doing well here? What a family full of fools.
