Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

There was a sound of people gasping in shock in the yard.

"Is... is it this Tao Xin who killed his own father?"

"Oh my God, he actually killed his father?"

"What a shameless person! This kind of person is not worthy of being a human being. He deserves to be cut into pieces!"

……

The curses in his ears became more and more frequent, and Tao Xin finally woke up as if from a dream, glaring at Shen Nankui fiercely.

"Bitch, you cheated me?"

"Isn't this the truth? Tao Xin, you should be held accountable for your actions."

"Damn! You all deserve to die!"

Tao Xin struggled hard, but could not escape from Hei Niu's hands.

Shen Nankui ignored him and looked at Cai Ling beside him, "Hei Niu is not very old, but his skills are quite good."

Cai Ling shook his head, "He has an impatient temper and his training is still a little lacking."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "Mr. Cai just threw a stone and defeated Tao Xin. With the guidance of an expert like you, Hei Niu will surely become a great man in the future."

——"Make way!"

There was a shout from the door, and it was the waiter of the inn who came in, followed by two people, each holding a large wooden barrel in their arms.

The waiter walked up to Shen Nankui and said, "Madam, I have done everything you asked me to do."

Shen Nankui nodded and said, "Please share some with everyone."

When she left the inn, she specifically asked Hehua to instruct the kitchen to prepare porridge and cakes so that the starving people in the workshop could fill their stomachs.

Sure enough, as soon as the food was distributed, everyone started to eat voraciously.

When everyone saw this, they felt more sympathetic towards their plight, and when they looked at Tao Xin, the disgust in their eyes became even stronger.

Shen Nankui gave Cai Ling a look, and the latter understood and quietly asked Hei Niu to withdraw his hand.

Tao Xin was freed and was about to find a chance to escape, but he was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

"Where are you trying to run to, you beast?"

"Today we will enforce justice on the behalf of Heaven and teach you a lesson!"

Everyone was ready to fight. After the first person took action, the others followed suit, punching and kicking Tao Xin until he was beaten to the ground.

In the yard, Tao Xin kept wailing, but no one spoke to stop him.

It was Shen Nankui who saw that he was breathing out more than breathing in, so he advised: "My dear men, please stop for a moment. It is not a pity that Tao Xin died, but the government will punish him for the crimes he committed. Just vent your anger, but don't dirty your hands."

Everyone understood this truth and gradually stopped taking action.

Manager Wu looked at the dying man on the ground, suddenly walked over and spat in his face, "Bah, your retribution has come!"

"Dang——dang——"

Two gongs sounded, and then a group of yamen runners in black robes and armed with knives rushed in.

"The government is investigating a case, outsiders please stay out of the way!"

The leader was Zhang Tongzhi. He nodded slightly at Shen Nankui and looked at Tao Xin on the ground.

Tao Xin no longer looked like a human being. He was covered in scars, his face and nose were crooked, and several of his teeth were knocked out.

Zhang Tongzhi saw the evasive expressions of the crowd and understood what had happened. He did not pursue the matter and only said, "Take the suspect Tao Xin back to the county government office to await trial!"

The bailiffs questioned everyone at the scene one by one.

Zhang Tongzhi walked up to Shen Nankui and bowed to her. "Mrs. Gu is really amazing. She was able to find such a crucial clue in just one day. If this case is cleared, it will be Mrs. Gu who has made the greatest contribution."

Moreover, he will be promoted to a Beijing official soon. If he can add an achievement of solving a wrongful case, his resume will look better.

When Cai Ling heard this name, he walked aside without saying a word.

Zhang Tongzhi saw that he had a unique temperament and couldn't help asking, "Who is this?"

"Oh, a friend."

Shen Nankui thought that Cai Ling didn't want to deal with Zhang Tongzhi, so he avoided him, so he didn't explain too much.

An hour later, the people from the yamen finished recording the testimony and went back home.

Those who came with Shen Nankui from the inn saw the excitement today and got rid of their anger, so they didn't stay long and left the workshop one after another.

After everyone left, except for the craftsmen in the workshop, only Shen Nankui and his group were left.

Qian Xi was treated by the doctor and has now slowly regained consciousness. Everyone in the workshop has eaten and now has recovered. They are all looking at Shen Nankui curiously.

I just heard from Manager Wu that she is the big boss behind Chixia Yanzhi. Since it is Manager Wu's words, then it should not be wrong.

However, no one expected that the woman in front of them would be so young, beautiful and dignified.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Shen Nankui couldn't help but smile and slowly walked to the center of the yard.

"Everyone, you haven't seen me, so you naturally don't know me. Let me explain here. My surname is Shen, and I am your boss. You have all been harmed by Tao Xin these days and have suffered. In the name of the boss, I declare that everyone will be given a five-day holiday and compensated with one month's wages. After you have rested well, you can come back to work. At the same time, I promise that similar things will not happen in the workshop again today."

Manager Wu was the first to agree, "Okay, I'll listen to the boss!"

Everyone no longer hesitated and responded, "Thank you, Master!"

Before Tao Xin was arrested by the government, he had already admitted to the fact of patricide in front of everyone. There was both witnesses and evidence, so when he was tried, he did not resist and quickly confessed the crime.

Once the case was announced, the whole city was shocked.

It is totally unimaginable that in Yongzhou, a city with a clean government and harmonious people, there would be such a heartless person?

Tiansheng ruled the world with filial piety, but this man dared to go against the will of the world and murdered his biological father. The people of the whole city denounced Tao Xin, saying he was not worthy of being a human being. Scholars from all walks of life also wrote to the state government, demanding severe punishment for the murderer.

According to Tiansheng Law, Tao Xin should be sentenced to death by slicing for multiple crimes.

The original verdict was that the execution could only be carried out after the approval of the Ministry of Justice in the autumn. However, the people of Yongzhou were outraged and put pressure on the government office every day, so the governor had to order the execution to be carried out immediately.

The death penalty of lingchi has not occurred in Yongzhou for more than 20 years.

Although this punishment was originally terrifying and extremely bloody, on the day of Tao Xin's execution, many people still came to watch.

Tao Ru is also among them.

Shen Nankui stood beside her and sighed, "You haven't recovered yet, why did you make this trip?"

After the case was solved, Tao Ru was acquitted, but she knew that Tao Xin would be executed soon, so she insisted on waiting to watch the execution before returning to Yunxi Ancient Town.

Tao Ru stared at the figure on the execution ground, "I want to see him get his comeuppance with my own eyes."

Shen Nankui shook his head and said, "Then I'll go back to the inn and wait for you."

She was pregnant and it was not appropriate for her to see such a bloody scene.

Outside the execution ground, there were circles of people surrounding the place. He Hua and Zhong Shan protected Shen Nankui and they finally squeezed out of the crowd. As soon as they reached the long street, it suddenly started to rain.

In front of her, a spotless figure came into view. He walked closer and opened an umbrella above her head.

But for some reason, there seemed to be a hint of worry between Cai Ling's brows.

Shen Nankui asked with a smile: "Mr. Cai, didn't you say you wouldn't come to the execution ground?"

The sky was overcast today and it was going to rain. Zhongshan had his rain gear with him, so Cai Ling certainly wasn't here to bring them an umbrella.

Cai Ling looked at her for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I have something to talk to you about."
