In the clear blue sky, the clouds are as white as thin gauze, the bright sunshine dances between the pavilions, like microwaves on the sea surface, and the breeze blows by, making people feel relaxed and happy, with a vague feeling of early autumn.

At the Caishikou in the east of the city, the inner and outer floors were crowded with people who came to watch the execution, and everyone looked excited and indignant.

On the execution platform, all the men of the Wu family, as well as those who were close to them, were wearing prison uniforms, with their hands cut behind their backs, and were tied and kneeling on the ground, waiting for execution.

During the interrogation of the three departments, although the Wu family refused to admit to murdering the Ninth Princess, evidence of their evil intentions, bribery, and reselling of military supplies was still found in the secret room of the Wu family. Soon, those who were close to them were also arrested.

Among them, Tian Dutong was implicated because they were all members of the Prime Minister's party.

Emperor Huiwen was furious and ordered the entire Wu family to be executed. The men and women involved were beheaded in public display, the family members were exiled to a bitter and cold place, and all their property was confiscated.

At this time, someone in the crowd muttered: "It's so pitiful that you end up with your body and head missing." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the people around him.

"The Wu family was so audacious in plotting to murder the Ninth Princess that they deserved to die!"

"Who doesn't know that the Ninth Princess is not only approachable, but also persuades the emperor to reduce taxes every year? How dare they hurt the benevolent and pure Ninth Princess? Damn it!"

"Isn't it true? My neighbor Wang's husband and son died in the battle. If the Ninth Princess hadn't ordered the government to take special care of her, Grandma Wang's orphans and widowed mother would have died of starvation long ago. So anyone who harms the Ninth Princess should be killed!

"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them!"

For a time, high-pitched and angry shouts of killing occurred one after another, resounding through the sky.

Qingyun, who was dressed in simple light blue, stood quietly in the crowd with Zike and Mo Xuan. After learning the disguise technique from Bingying, it was really difficult for even people close to her to recognize her, let alone ordinary people.

Hearing the comments of the people around him, Qingyun's face was calm, but her heart was filled with emotion.

I finally understand why since she was four years old, her father has taken her to visit the people at the border every year. Everything is just for her to gain the respect of the people and the support of the soldiers. The father is doing everything possible to protect her.

That's why the prime minister and others didn't dare to act rashly, so Sima Chun tried his best to get close to her. After achieving his goal, he quietly killed her and put the blame on Sima Rui and the others. After all, once the world knows the truth, it will inevitably arouse public outrage and mutiny.

When the time comes, Sima Chun and the others will definitely be difficult to deal with.

Wu Kai, who was kneeling on the execution platform, suddenly raised his head, looking for something in the crowd with his narrow eyes. His face was haggard and thin, his whole person was depressed, and he no longer looked as majestic as before.

When he saw the clear and distant pupils of an ordinary-looking man, Wu Kai's eyes were filled with confusion at first, then burst out with bone-gnawing resentment, and finally dimmed, and he hung his head slumpedly. No one knew that he was there.

What to think.

Qingyun curled her lips, and a faint sneer passed across her lips.

At three quarters of noon, following the order of the executioner, the executioners raised their knives and dropped their swords. Dozens of heads rolled to the ground one after another, blood splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The crowd cheered loudly, and after a long time, everyone was satisfied and dispersed.

Looking at the black armor with his head missing, Qingyun turned around and strode towards Baihua Tower, feeling an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?" Bingying and Yan Nuo looked at Qingyun who opened the door and walked in with concerned expressions on their faces.

"It's nothing." Qingyun quickly put away the complicated emotions in her heart, walked to the table and sat down: "You must have heard about the Wu family, what do you think?"
