Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Su Qin didn't know that her father had been rescued, but when she saw Chang Shanqi posting the donation notice, she knew that things were going as she expected.

Then even if her family members were not acquitted, they would not be sentenced severely. She was completely relieved.

The next day, Mr. Zeng prepared to leave the city early to find Su Qin, but he encountered some obstacles on his way out of the city because he met a team escorting prisoners out of the city, which delayed him for some time.

This time, there are more prisoners escorted than last time. In order to prevent the situation like what happened to Zhao Kuo and others last time, the prisoners are escorted together by the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Imperial Guards.

The imperial guards were led by Jin Tong himself, with runners from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice standing in front and behind. Jin Tong's men surrounded all the prisoners, making the entire team look particularly long.

After the prisoners' group left the city, they followed the convoy of officials led by King Liang. Zeng always waited until they had all left the city before following behind.

When he arrived at the place where the victims gathered, they had all gathered together and he could not get close at all. He could only stand on the shaft of the cart and look ahead from a distance.

Suddenly, he patted his chest and got back into the carriage: "Oh, they're carrying out an execution. It's too cruel. How can a kind old man like me bear to watch this? I won't watch it anymore. I won't watch it anymore. I won't be able to sleep if I watch it."

When the driver heard it was an execution, he curiously stood on the shaft to watch. However, he had barely taken a second look when Zeng Lao, who had emerged from the carriage, pulled him aside again. Zeng Lao kept muttering to himself as he pushed him aside, "No, I have to find out if that girl is there. This little girl can't stand watching a beheading. She'll have nightmares from now on."

He stood on tiptoe and tried to look into the crowd, but unfortunately so many people had small heads and he couldn't see clearly.

In front of the crowd were officials headed by King Liang. In order to prevent accidents, officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple read out the charges against those people and then beheaded them directly.

Wu Bin saw his family hiding in the crowd, and then saw the man who was beheading him. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to die with me. Did you think your family would be alright if you died? No, they won't have a good end either."

The originally pale face of the person next to him suddenly turned hideous and terrifying, but before he could say anything, the executioner raised his knife and beheaded him.

Wu Bin watched him die, gave his family a comforting smile, and also went to his death bravely. Before, he thought that he was unlucky to encounter such a thing, but yesterday Zhao Liangchen told him that the robbery of the disaster relief silver was premeditated, and he realized that he was destined to die. Because of his straightforward character, he was not popular in the imperial guards and offended his superiors. It was this superior who recommended him for the escort mission this time.

It was originally just an ordinary mission, but now think about it, they had discussed it long ago and wanted to push those who disobeyed to death.

It doesn't matter if he dies. As long as the people who harmed him don't have a good ending, he will die with peace of mind.

After seeing his death, his family was heartbroken, but they did not prepare to collect his body and secretly left the place.

After all the prisoners had been executed, King Liang spoke from his horse: "Now that the prisoners have been brought to justice, the relief money has been found, and all the escort troops are in place, I will take you back to Chanzhou tomorrow. Make your preparations tonight and set out early tomorrow morning. Don't worry, the court will provide you with rice and food along the way. You won't be left hungry returning to Chanzhou..."

While he was speaking, for some unknown reason, the horse under him was suddenly frightened and jumped up with its front hooves. King Liang immediately grabbed the reins to control the horse, but he pulled the reins hard, which made the horse even more violent and it rushed out directly towards the crowd of victims.

The victims standing in the front saw the horses rushing towards them and shouted in fear. They wanted to retreat, but the people behind them didn't know what was happening. When they heard the screams, they thought something had happened and kept pushing forward. They had no room to retreat at all.

Seeing that King Liang's horse was about to rush into the crowd and trample someone, King Liang freed one hand, bent down, pulled out a dagger from his boot, and stabbed it directly into the horse's neck. Then he slashed it hard, and the horse's blood spurted out immediately. The warm blood sprayed all over King Liang's body and face.

Prince Liang subconsciously closed his eyes, but did not loosen his grip. Instead, he swung the dagger even harder. The horse felt pain, neighed, and shook its head frantically to break free. At the same time, its steps became disordered and it changed direction, just brushing the edge of the crowd and turning in another direction. After running for dozens of meters, the horse finally couldn't hold on any longer and its legs softened, and it fell to the ground with a bang. At the same time, Prince Liang was also thrown out with the horse. When he landed, he subconsciously protected his head, but his legs made a crisp cracking sound because they hit the ground heavily.

All this happened in an instant. By the time everyone reacted and his guards rushed over to check, King Liang had already fainted. This frightened the officials accompanying him, and they surrounded him screaming. However, his body and face were covered in blood, and no one knew where he was injured, so no one dared to touch him.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, no one knowing what to do. Prince Liang's guards were even more panicked. They wanted to pick him up but were afraid of hurting him a second time. In the end, Tong Zhongqian was more understanding. He stepped forward and wiped the blood off Prince Liang's face with a handkerchief. He checked his face again and found that Prince Liang showed no signs of vomiting blood. Then he said to the guards, "The prince should have no internal injuries, but it's hard to tell if his bones are okay. Gently carry the prince to the carriage and go to the palace to see the imperial physician as soon as possible."

The guards then carefully carried King Liang onto the carriage and quickly drove away.

King Liang left, but the victims still had to be comforted, and someone had to be responsible for collecting and burying the bodies of the prisoners, so Tong Zhongqian and the Dali Temple Minister had to stay.

Some victims saw that something had happened to Prince Liang, but they didn't know how serious it was. Someone worriedly shouted, "Master Tong, something has happened to the prince. Can we still leave tomorrow?"

Tong Zhongqian took a few steps forward and loudly reassured the victims, "Don't worry. Even if Prince Liang is injured and can't accompany you back, the court will send other officials to escort you and the relief money back. Don't worry, just go back and pack your things and wait."

The victims were reassured and left one after another.

Looking at the dispersed victims, Tong Zhongqian's eyes became a little deeper. He shook his head helplessly and asked someone to collect the bodies of the prisoners and bury them.

Zeng Lao stood on the shaft of the cart, waiting for the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to leave. Then he said to the driver angrily, "Let's go."

Su Qin did not go to watch the execution. It had nothing to do with her. She had been thinking about ways to make money these days. Originally, she had more than three thousand taels, and later she asked Zhao Liangchen to give one thousand taels to the Su family. Now she only had more than two thousand taels on hand. With these two thousand taels, she could only do some small business. However, she thought about all the small businesses she could think of and couldn't think of a suitable one, so she was worried and had no time to watch the fun.

Just when she was still worried, she heard a familiar cough coming from outside. She immediately got out of the tent and saw the angry Mr. Zeng climbing the hill and coughing as he walked towards her.
