Chapter 96: Execution
As if unable to withstand the blow, he staggered back a few steps, then closed his eyes and fell straight back.
There was a noisy exclamation all of a sudden, "Master! ”
Meng Ruyue didn't seem to see the movement here at all, her red and swollen eyes stared at the burnt wreckage, her gaze was dead, everything around her couldn't shake her in the slightest, until the dawn broke and the drizzle fell, and the raging flames gradually died down in the heavier and heavier rain, leaving only a pile of charred black.
At first, there were maids who came to persuade Meng Ruyue to go back, but when she saw that her eyes were dull and she didn't seem to be able to hear the exhortations of the people around her at all, the people slowly walked away, leaving only Mu Lingkong and the two maids to accompany her.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and at a glance it is almost a rain curtain that covers the sky, although a maid sent a paper umbrella, but in the pouring rain, Mu Lingkong was still drenched, and Xiangyun and Xiangqiao were not much better, but they still persuaded Mu Lingkong to go back first, and they accompanied Meng Ruyue.
Mu Lingkong shook his head, "I'll accompany her!" ”
I don't know how long Meng Ruyue sat in place, but when Mu Lingkong felt a little dizzy, Meng Ruyue leaned to the side softly.
Mu Lingkong rubbed his head and instructed the little maid on the side, "Go find a doctor to treat your young lady, and I'll go back to the courtyard first!" Send someone to inform me if anything! ”
Xiangqiao nodded again and again, Mu Lingkong turned around and walked towards his yard, but he didn't take a few steps, he saw Dongxue and Qingli holding umbrellas not far away, seeing her coming, hurriedly holding an umbrella over, Dongxue shook off the hot cloak in her arms, wrapped her tightly, and couldn't help whispering, "Miss has been susceptible to cold since she fell into the water, why do you have to accompany the second miss, the slaves and maids don't dare to come over when they see you like this, it's really sad to watch from the side!" ”
Mu Lingkong hooked his lips and smiled reluctantly, "I really don't feel at ease when I see Ruyue like this, Dongxue, you hold me a little, I'm dizzy now!" ”
Dong Xue hurriedly supported Mu Lingkong's half-crooked body, Qingli carefully held the umbrella in the back, and almost half-hugged Mu Lingkong back to Qingshui Courtyard, and Mu Lingkong had a high fever that night.
After a fire, the three masters in the prime minister's mansion all fell, and even the aftermath of the eldest lady could not be handled in time, and the people talked about it.
Two days later, all the men, women, and children in General Weiyuan's Mansion were escorted to the execution ground and beheaded all over the house.
At that time, Mu Lingkong was still lying on the bed and groggy, and his whole body was weak, when he heard a frightened female voice from the courtyard, "Sister Dongxue, let's help spread the word, my young lady is gone, I and Xiangyun searched all over the house, but we didn't see anyone!" ”
Dongxue's somewhat embarrassed voice sounded immediately, "But, my young lady is still sick, and she has been asleep for so many days......"
The unfinished words were interrupted by the sound of pushing the door, and when she looked back, she saw Mu Lingkong wearing a coat, leaning against the door with a pale face, and said softly, "I probably know where your young lady is......"
*
The entrance of the vegetable market, which used to be bustling, was separated by heavy soldiers at this moment, leaving only a seven-eight-foot open space in the field, setting up a high platform, and the stage was full of men, women and children, all of whom had haggard faces and desperate eyes.
And the first one was an old man in the age of a famous sixtieth year, with gray hair disheveled, pale face, and a slightly sickly appearance, but his waist knelt straight in front of him, with a strong iron arrogance.
The latter few people are the heirs of the big house and the second house of General Weiyuan's mansion, and Rong Tao and Meng Ruyun are among them.
Rong Tao's usually obese body seemed to have lost a lot of weight in just a few days of prison, and he looked at the front with a dull expression. And Meng Ruyun's hair was scattered, her clothes were dirty, her hands were tied behind her and she knelt on the ground, but her lower abdomen was prominent, and it was not difficult to see that she was pregnant.
Under the execution table, the crowd of onlookers was full of discussions.
"This is the general's mansion family, tsk, now that the Xiluo Kingdom has forcibly occupied our Mocheng, he still dares to collaborate with the enemy, this kind of person should not only be beheaded all over the house, but should be punished by the nine clans!"
"Maybe Mocheng's defeat is related to their collaboration with the enemy, doesn't it mean that General Weiyuan is Sheng Guogong's old subordinate?"
"It's really fake, and there is this relationship!"
"Otherwise, how can you explain that Sheng Guogong has not failed in his life, but he has lost this time!"
The discussion of the crowd became more and more outrageous, and in the end, it even involved Sheng Guogong.
Meng Ruyue stood in the crowd with her hair scattered and her steps vague, she couldn't hear the discussions in her ears, she just stared at the stage, from a long distance, covering her mouth and tears like rain.
The official supervising the execution on the other side of the high platform squinted at the cloud-shrouded canopy, leaned over and took out a warrant from the box in front of the table, and shouted, "The time has come, execution!" ”
Meng Ruyue let out a dying cry like a little beast, pushing away the crowd in front of her and about to rush to the center of the field, she couldn't scream anymore, the syllables she uttered were meaningless, but anyone could hear the sadness and helplessness in it.
The person who was being pushed in front cursed and turned around, "What are you pushing, you are in a hurry to die!" ”
When he saw Meng Ruyue's face full of tears, he was stunned, and stared at her malice for a long time.
The executioner on the stage was already in place. At this very moment, no one dared to deliver food to General Weiyuan's family, so when they signed it, they raised their blades almost instantly, and in the gloomy skylight, the blades were also glowing with bloodthirsty cold light.
In Meng Ruyue's final sight, her grandfather's gray-haired head rolled off the stage.
After watching the excitement, the crowd gradually began to disperse. Meng Ruyue stood in place, staring at the head on the ground, and slowly walked over.
The short man who was pushed by her just now rubbed his chin and followed behind her, looking up and down for a while, "I said, little lady, you shouldn't be a relative of this collaborator, if so, I will send you to the government!" ”
Meng Ruyue's eyes were straight, and he didn't hear what he said, so he reached out to pull Meng Ruyue, but he was shocked to see her pick up the head on the ground, carefully cleaning the dirt on her hair and face.
The man was frightened by her stupid appearance, and he didn't move for a long time, but he was unwilling to lose the fat in his mouth, so he reached out to pull her again, "Go, I'm going to send you to see the official!" ”
It's just that before his hand touched Meng Ruyue, he was hit hard by a small pebble that shot out, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand to look.
A blue-gray carriage was parked on the side of the street, and a pale woman in white was supported by the side of the carriage, and his gaze was like a sharp blade, and he unconsciously took a few steps back, and finally ran away.
