Early in the morning the next day, after eating breakfast, Ling Jinghan took his parents to town using the excuse of making preparations for his little nephew's shower rituals. Zhang Qing was also afraid that his mom would be scared, so he asked Zhang Yang to take Wang Jinyu to go with them. The three little buns had to prepare gifts for their little brother, of course they'd also go. Before leaving, they still left like numerous kisses on the tiny bun, only wishing to tie him up around their waist and bring him with them. For Zhao&Han couple, only Han Fei went with them, with Yan Yi and Yan Si protecting them.
After the three carriages drove out of the gate, Ye Ruyun took several of her trusted soldiers to pull out Ling Chengcai and others, who were already dizzy with hunger in the warehouse. As for the other soldiers, as early as yesterday afternoon, Yan Shengrui had ordered to dispose of them all.
"What are you doing? Let us go... This is against the law..."
"Mom, I am scared. Ask second uncle to set us free'¦'
"I'm the son-in-law of Gui family. You can't do this to me...Get off me..."
The whole family was still yelling and threatening, totally had no idea that death was waiting for them. Ling Jingpeng handed over a paper with the crimes they had committed, Ye Ruhun took a look after receiving it and then passed it to one of her trusted soldiers.
"What are you doing? What do you want? Trying to kill the crown princess, I didn't do that'¦"
Without even looking at it, that soldier pulled Ling Jingxuan's hand and pressed it on it. Peeping at what was written on it, Ling Jingwei changed his face instantly. Until now, he still had no idea where those people came from. And why Ling Jingxuan knew someone everyone called him my prince. No, to be more exact, he vaguely knew, but he just wouldn't want to admit it. Beating and trying to kill the crown princess'¦trying to occupy all the crown princess' properties'¦Disturbing the crown princess from giving birth, any one of them was enough to get him skinned, but he just refused to believe that that man Ling Jingxuan mentioned was actually the prince!
"How dare you even offend Crown Princess Sheng? Are those holes above your nose? Take him out and cut off his head!"
Putting away the indictment, Ye Ruyun gave a cold snort. Who didn't know that Prince Sheng was the noblest prince of the kingdom! He even didn't need to get on his knees when seeing His Majesty! Never expected his crown princess got bullied to this extent! SO outrageous!
"What? Crown Princess Sheng?"
"No, we didn't know! Jingpeng, please help us. We know are wrong'¦Please let us see Jingxuan. We'll kowtow to him to apologize! I'm begging you'¦'
Ling Chengcai and others were surprised. And Lady Li who was the first to react threw herself by Ling Jingpeng's feet, trying to begging while holding his leg. If she had known that Ling Jingxuan is the crown princess, she would never have the balls to instigate his husband and sons to provoke him! She was wrong, she meant it'¦
"Jingpeng, I am your big uncle by blood, please help us'¦"
"Jingpeng, Jingpeng...I don't want to die...please spare us..."
Ling Chengcai and Ling Xiaoran crawled over crying, leaving Ling Jingwen alone collapsing on the ground. If it had been before, maybe Ling Jingpeng would really get his heart softened. But now'¦He kicked them away and then said coldly with one hand held behind, 'It's too late! When you broke in with the soldiers, have you ever thought we are your family? When you tried to kill my father and seize our properties, have you ever thought my father is your younger brother by blood? Today, if my big brother is not Crown Princess Sheng but only an ordinary businessman, wouldn't our whole family have already died in your hands today?'
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom The more Ling Jingpeng said, the madder. How dare they have the claim to say they are their family? Do they have family like that? Before, every time, his big brother showed mercy for the sake that they were families. But what had they repaid them? They only kept challenging their bottom lines. And now they only felt scared? Too late!
"Why waste time with them? Take them out and cut off their heads."
Grabbing his hand, Ye Ruyun ordered domineeringly.
"Yes!"
"No..."
Then her trusted soldiers all moved forward, while Ling Chengcai and others screamed even harder, and Ling Jingwei who was still on the ground had sudden shudder and his pants gradually got wetted. When he heard the title Crown Princess Sheng, he had known they were so dead. Is the dignity of the imperial family something they could afford to offend? What's more, Yan Shengrui was the master of the whole Cangzhou. If he wanted to kill someone, even His Majesty dare not have any objections. A small Gui family couldn't shake him a bit.
"Bang.."
Outside the gate, those villagers who had heard the new as early as last night already surrounded there, but no one dare get close. Seeing Ling Chengcai and his family were dragged out, everyone wide opened their eyes and quietly held their breath. Everyone looked confused, having no idea why Ling Jingxuan would cut off their heads out of his own house. Wasn't he afraid it might invite in some whammy?
"Jingpeng, this is..."
Ling Qicai who hurried over took a look at Ling Chengcai and others who got thrown onto the ground, wanted to say something to them but finally chose to walk to Ling Jingpeng and Ye Ruyun. Were they really trying to kill them all?
"Second uncle, help me, I don't wanna die, second uncle..."
"Second grandpa..."
Like seeing their last straw, Ling Chengcai and his family all tried to throw themselves at him, but got pressed back by the soldiers. So they could only beg him while crying hard. Ling Qicai looked at them embarrassedly. Though he was mad at what they had done, he still felt sorry for them, after all they his big brother's family.
"Jingpeng..."
"Second uncle, who they have offended is Prince Sheng. If you don't want the whole village to be buried with them, I advise you to keep your mouth shut. They must die!"
Before he could plead for them, Ling Jingpeng said with a stern face. If his big brother really got to the bottom of the whole thing, the whole village had to take the reasonability. Even if Yan Shengrui killed them all, no one dare say any word.
Knowing his implications, Ling Qicai wiped his cold sweat and turned to leave helplessly. What stand did he have to plead for them? They should already feel fortunate that Jingxuan didn't ask for their responsibility.
'Prepare for the execution!'
Ye Ruyun stood forward, his right hand held high.
"No..."
Ling Chengcai and others got so scared that their whole body went stiff, all wetted their pants already. Ye Ruyun's trusted soldiers then pulled out their sabers, which were giving off some cold light under the burning sun.
"Do it!"
"Ah..."
With Ye Ruyun's order, the sobers high up fell off and cut off their heads and blood instantly spilled all over the ground. The four of them who were still begging for mercy crying instantly got their heads separated with their heads. Every villager who saw this scene were trembling in fear/ Knowing it was one thing, but seeing it was another thing. So, all people were so scared that they got their hair stood on end already.
As everyone got scared stiff and couldn't even move their legs, Ling Jinghong, with a few servants, pushing a handcart over. Ye Ruyun who was about to let the soldiers to take care of those bodies gave him a strange look. Ling Jingpeng secretly pulled her and motioned to wait a minute, then moved forward to Ling Jinghong's side.
"I'm here to collect their bodies."
Ling Jinghong's expression was indifferent as always, as if the dead on the ground was not his parents and brother, but some stray cats or dogs on the roadside.
"Hmm."
Ling Jingpeng who meant to say something slowly made way for him, he knew that Ling Jinghong was different from them. If it hadn't been that his parents had been bullied too hard before, maybe their three brothers could be good friends with Ling Jinghong. Till now, he still remembered that Brother Jinghong was the only one who would speak for them. Pity that there was no way back.
"Thanks."
Ling Jinghong also didn't say much, after giving him a nod, he went to carry their bodies onto the handcart. This was the last thing he could do for them as their son. Before leaving, Ling Jinghong stopped his pace and looked at Ling Jingpeng, saying faintly, 'You did nothing wrong. They asked for it. I guess we will never see each other again. Bye!'
