Chapter 93: Persuasion Leads to Death!
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Shen Qingyan nodded slightly, then looked ahead, seemingly indifferent to death.
Lu Zhe mounted his horse, looked around, and sneered, "Lord Shen saved the country and the people, and is praised by the world. How come there isn't a single commoner who has come to see him off? It seems that Lord Shen's status in the hearts of the people is nothing more than that."
He brandished his whip, lashing the horse triumphantly, and shouted, "Let's set off back to the capital, giddy up!"
"My lord!" Officer Cheng called out from behind, tears finally breaking free. He looked at the dark sky, laughing through his tears.
Good heavens! Look! Honest and upright officials are being unjustly executed, while treacherous officials are in power and acting arrogantly. Is this the justice of heaven?
"Officer Cheng, what should we do? Are we just going to watch Lord Shen die like this?"
"Officer Cheng, say something! How about we break him out of prison? Lord Shen can't die. If we just watch him die, wouldn't we be cowards and incompetent?"
"Officer Cheng!"
……
Everyone was very anxious. The clerk came out with a solemn face and said, "Stop talking. If this gets out, it's a capital offense. If anything happens to any of you, how can Lord Shen be at ease?"
"There is still one plan we can implement. Officer Cheng, you need to act quickly and spread the news that Lord Shen is about to be unjustly executed and that the court is corrupt and incompetent. There is still almost a month before the execution in the autumn, so it may be in time."
With the advisor's words, everyone felt as if they had found a pillar of support and immediately began to spread the news.
Meanwhile, at the main gate of Xilan County, the road leading out of the county town was filled with kneeling people, including the elderly, children, women and children, and people with disabilities.
But they abandoned their usual fear of officials and power, mustered their courage, straightened their backs, and looked straight ahead. The crowd shouted in unison, "Our grievances are profound, our hearts are breaking; we demand justice, and the truth will prevail!"
Lu Zhe stopped and turned to look at Shen Qingyan. "Lord Shen, so you had arranged this play for me all along." Unfortunately, it was no use. Shen Qingyan had to die.
He steeled his resolve and drew his sword. "Ignorant commoners, leave immediately! Otherwise, anyone who obstructs me from taking away the imperial criminals will be executed!"
He threatened and scorned, startling the people, but they remained kneeling and refused to leave. One of them, a young man dressed as a scholar, stood up.
"The injustice is profound, our hearts are breaking. We demand justice and the truth will prevail! Lord Shen has been wronged because of the corrupt court and the injustice of Heaven. We will never let you take Lord Shen away!"
"Yes, we will never let you take Lord Shen away!" The people's morale soared, and they shouted incessantly. They picked up the weapons they had prepared on the ground, ready to die for their cause.
Shen Qingyan had his own plans he couldn't reveal, but seeing the people's unwavering support moved him deeply. He quickly stood up and said, "Everyone, I appreciate your kindness..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhe raised his arm and swung his sword, which plunged directly into the scholar's chest, and blood gushed out instantly.
Everyone was shocked by the scene. The women and children cried loudly in fear. Shen Qingyan opened his mouth slightly and clenched his fists. "Lu Zhe, how dare you kill civilians in the street without cause, especially since he is just a scholar!"
The scholar, clinging to his last breath, laughed wildly and arrogantly, "Lord Shen, there's no need to be sad. You have devoted yourself to the people and are a model for us scholars. I am willing to die for the righteous path of the world!"
He fell down laughing, kicking up dust, and remained motionless, leaving everyone feeling even more sorrowful.
"What advice does Lord Shen have?" Lu Zhe chuckled. "They're nothing but a bunch of ants, yet they dare to try and stop us. Do you see? Anyone who dares to take another step forward will suffer this fate."
Although the people were afraid, they still did not get up; they did not want Shen Qingyan to be taken away.
Shen Qingyan could not wait any longer, but he could not expose his scheme. So he could only look at the people and say, "I, Shen Qingyan, as the magistrate of Xilan County, order all the people to make way, make way immediately! Anyone who does not obey is disrespecting me as their official."
"Everyone's life was saved with great difficulty, how can you treat it so lightly? I, Shen, am but one person, not worth it!" Shen Qingyan shouted, his imposing presence evident. "Make way!"
The people began to waver and gradually dispersed to both sides, but their eyes remained fixed on Shen Qingyan.
As Shen Qingyan's carriage passed by, all the people, who had been holding back their emotions, knelt down again, crying and shouting, "Lord Shen, you are innocent!"
Niu Niu also started crying in the crowd, "Mother, why do good people not get good rewards? When I become a great general, I will definitely save Lord Shen."
Yes, why do good people not get good rewards?
Lady Wang didn't know how to explain, and the surrounding people could only weep, unable to utter a single word...
Modern-day, get rich in the backyard of the supermarket.
Gu Xixi and the others waited for another two hours, but Shu still didn't appear. It seemed he wouldn't be coming today. [Brother Tongzi, is Shu alright?]
It's quite worrying that none of them are showing up.
[The tree is currently implementing the policies you taught and is very busy. It also needs to modify details to adapt to local conditions, so it has no free time. If the host's trading partner dies, the system will notify the host and close the interdimensional portal.]
【Hmm.】Gu Xixi saw a boat-shaped object, about the size of a small tricycle, slowly approaching through the silvery-white mist. She tilted her head.
What's going on? Could this be the spaceship that Jade said she was going to give her?
That's an outrageously large size.
As the spaceship drew closer, Emerald appeared beneath it, pushing a sliding wooden box, about two cubic meters in size, as she moved closer.
The spaceship was placed on top of the wooden crate. Because the spaceship's wings obscured her figure, they only saw the spaceship and not her.
After pushing the things into the courtyard, Jade breathed a sigh of relief, sat down at the stone table, and drank a cup of milk tea before speaking.
"The data in that box under the spaceship contains all the information about the spaceship and the space battleship. Quickly bring me the menu so I can order. After you've ordered, I'll go get the ingredients you mentioned you needed last time while you're cooking."
Chen Yu immediately ran over obsequiously, "Please come in."
Jade had already thought it through, so she quickly checked off more than a dozen dishes before getting up to continue explaining, "The spaceship model on the box is a 1:1 replica of the spaceship you requested, a completely scaled-down model. It's absolutely no problem to use it to build one."
"I originally wanted to get you a physical spaceship, but it was too big, so I brought you this physical construction specimen instead. Keep it safe, I need to go get the other materials."
As Jade spoke, she climbed back onto the truck and began transporting supplies to the technological world, then unloaded the cargo and brought back the materials they had prepared.
The round trip took a full hour and a half to finish today's deliveries. Emerald jumped off the truck with a flourish, pointed to the last truck that had come back, and said, "Gu Xixi, I brought you ten more sets of holographic projection equipment. How are you going to thank me?"
