The new book of the burning prairie star

"Wang Qi, do you know the consequences of killing your master?" Understanding his intention, Yang Biao pointed at him angrily.

In ancient times, the punishment for lord-killers was extremely cruel. The government would not only display their bodies to the public, but also use them to light lamps, because it would not only lead to social unrest and instability, but also undermine feudal order and ethics.

"The worst that can happen is death, but I will take you with me before I die." Wang Qi drew out his sword and stabbed at him with all his strength.

With a "clang", Gui Wenbin blocked his sword, and Lian Zimo kicked him to the ground.

"Oh, today I want to see if you have the ability to use me as your scapegoat." Yang Biao signaled Gui and Lian to let him go, let him get up, and watch how he would kill himself.

Wang Qi's skills were far inferior to those of the other two. Although he tried his best to resist, his strength was too weak. He could only fight alone and was trampled under the feet of Gui Wenbin after a short fight of less than a cup of tea.

"Break the tendons of his hands and feet, and hang him at the gate of Qianpu City for public display!" Yang Biao said this without hesitation and left. Since he wanted to kill himself, he would give him a proper lesson.

"Yes, master!" The two men obeyed the order and first took off his smelly socks and stuffed them into his mouth to prevent his screams from causing discomfort to others. Then they quickly cut off his hands and feet with swords, tied him up with ropes and hung him up at the city gate, leaving him defenseless.

"General, who is that man? Why is he hanging at the city gate covered in blood?" The common people passing by looked up and saw Wang Qi at the city gate, and asked the gatekeeper curiously.

"This man is a servant of the Northern Governor Yang. He actually wanted to kill our Lord Yang. Fortunately, our Lord was protected by experts, so he didn't kill him."

The soldiers guarding the city were only about 17 or 18 years old and had just joined the army. After saying this, he looked up at Wang Qi with disdain. This man who killed his master and was disloyal and unfilial was only hung at the city gate for public display by the Northern Governor because he was kind-hearted. If it were him, he would have cut him into pieces and thrown him to feed the dogs.

Although Yang Biao had only been in office in Qianpu Prefecture for a short period of four years, he suppressed bandits, reduced taxes and corvee labor, eased the burden on farmers, vigorously developed agriculture and water transport, and after being promoted, he eliminated all the bandits in the north.

He was a good official who truly allowed the common people to live and work in peace and have enough food to eat. Yet a family slave wanted to kill him and ruin everyone's good life.

“Puh… Puh… Puh…” Everyone was filled with anger when they heard this and started spitting at him. Unfortunately he was hanging too high and the saliva didn’t touch his body.

"Yang Biao, are you okay?" Qin Xiaoran saw him in the evening when he had just finished his official business. As soon as they met, she carefully checked his body for any injuries.

"I'm fine. Don't worry, Wenbin and the others are here!" Yang Biao grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on the bed.

"I miss you so much. Do you miss me?" Qin Xiaoran caressed his face affectionately. She felt like she could never get enough of looking at the face in front of her.

"Well, after more than half a year, you've finally gained some weight." Yang Biao put his hand over hers and looked at her carefully under the light.

"You can't let Wang Qi off easily." Qin Xiaoran was scared to death when she heard about this. This was a crime of insubordination that could not be punished.

She never expected that this person could be so cruel. Wang Qi's attentiveness to Feng Xuening in Yangjia Village for more than half a year was seen by her as she lived in the same house with him. She knew that he particularly liked that girl.

Qin Xiaoran didn't know the specific reason that made him choose to kill his master. This was simply too bold and treasonous.

"I'll have him hang at the city gate until he dies, to serve as a warning to others!" According to convention, the person who killed his master would be tortured to death by slicing. Yang Biao felt that being cut into pieces was too cruel, and the current method was more civilized.

"That's fine!" Qin Xiaoran nodded. Death from dehydration was also a painful punishment.

"Why don't you persuade my mother and Xiaohua to come to Qianpu Mansion to play?" It's already December and the New Year is almost here. It would be great if Xiao Zhang and the others could come over so that we can have a New Year reunion.

He was a local official. In order to prevent various localities from joining together to rebel, the imperial court promulgated laws to restrict their behavior. Except for reporting to the capital, they were not allowed to leave their jurisdiction at other times.

For example, he was not allowed to go to Jiangping Prefecture. If the censor impeached him, he would be in big trouble.

However, Ying Jian strongly protected him in the court, so he acted without any scruples. Anyway, it was just a willful act this time, and similar things would never happen again in the future.

"Do you think I didn't try to persuade you?" Qin Xiaoran felt wronged when she heard him say that and looked at him with annoyance.

In Yangjia Village, he communicated with Xiao Zhang almost every day, trying to get her to follow him back to Qianpu Mansion.

However, Xiao Zhang thought that Yang Lin was going to take part in the provincial examination and needed someone to take care of her, so she rejected her request to take her north without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, I just want my mother to enjoy her old age with me. I really don't mean to say anything bad about you." Seeing that her eyes were misty, Yang Biao hurriedly hugged her in his arms and apologized to her softly.

It was completely within his expectations that the socially anxious little Zhang was unwilling to come. There was no need to vent his anger on other people, especially Qin Xiaoran, who took care of her husband and children and managed his silk business.

"I don't blame you. I don't know why I just feel wronged." Qin Xiaoran hugged him tightly, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the warm embrace. Isn't this what she had been thinking about day and night?

On her way back, she heard people talking about it. She already knew that Yang Biao had married Wu Ruoyi. She felt very upset and thought that she could empathize with Xia Weiwei's feelings.

"Hongyan, Tingting is asleep?" Yang Biao ended his romance with Qin Xiaoran, and after the people fell asleep, he wanted to go see his only daughter. He really liked looking at little girls, who were so soft and cute. But when he rode there on horseback, he saw the child lying quietly on the bed and sleeping.

"Well, it's a long journey. Not to mention children, even adults can't stand it." In order not to wake up her daughter, Hong Yan pulled him to another room.

"Husband, do you think I look good in this dress?" Hong Yan put on the new clothes that she had specially bought on the street today, just because she thought he would come and she wanted to wear it for him to see.

"You are so beautiful!" Her perfect chest curve, charming S-shaped figure matched with a tight dress, and her eyes like clear autumn water made Yang Biao fall in love with her instantly.

"Sir, Jiang Sheng is back!" That day, Yang Biao was handling official business in the government office when Gui Wenbin came over to report.
