Chapter 447 Execution of Qian Musheng at the Execution Ground

This is why Xue Yuandao wanted to frame Qian Musheng. He should have killed this rascal earlier. He never expected that Qian Musheng would cause trouble and instruct his disciple to frame him and put him in prison.

Qian Musheng hasn't made any major enemies recently. If there is one, it's the one he made on Cuiwei Mountain. This grudge is quite big, and frankly, who can untie this knot of hatred? It's impossible to untie it.

Su Xiaoxiao had seen Sai Pohou at the execution ground a few days ago. She really didn't expect that the world was so small.

Su Xiaoxiao had heard enough and finally understood the cause and effect of the case. When she saw the time, she was dumbfounded. Tomorrow was the day of the funeral for the young lady of the Wang family. But who could overturn a case in a single day? Imagine arresting Xue Yuandao now and bluntly asking him, "Did you kill the young lady? Was it your master who ordered you to do it?"

Would Sai Pohou admit to this? Absolutely not.

Su Xiaoxiao felt utterly hopeless at the thought of coming tomorrow. If she could just get Qian Musheng's case overturned immediately, she would agree, but she really couldn't find anyone here who could make the decision for Qian Musheng. Where was the person? Why hadn't the Tenth Prince returned yet?

Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about anything else and ran away from Prince Gong's Mansion. She needed to hurry up and meet up with Xiao Zhuo and the others to tell them what had happened and that Qian Musheng was truly innocent.

When Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Qian residence, she saw Xiaozhuozi and Xiaodengzi preparing the carriage in the courtyard.

They said there was no time left, and they were about to go to the execution ground to see their young master one last time.

Both of them were crying their eyes out. Su Xiaoxiao also got into the carriage with them and said that she would tell them the whole story on the way.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhuozi flew into a rage and said, "I don't care about anything else in a moment. Even if my whole family is executed, I will save the young master."

Xiao Dengzi was crying along with him, but he knew he didn't have any special skills and was truly powerless to help anyone.

At this moment, he deeply regretted that he didn't know martial arts. Although Xiao Zhuozi knew martial arts, he couldn't possibly manage to storm the execution ground on his own.

Su Xiaoxiao was very anxious at this moment. She felt that if she knew martial arts, she might be able to help Qian Musheng.

But she genuinely didn't know martial arts, and she truly couldn't carry out a rescue operation from the execution ground. Mainly because a rescue from the execution ground would be a certain death sentence; did they really have no other options?
However, it seems that regardless of whether Qian Musheng admits to the case or not, he will still be executed as the murderer. Today is just a sacrifice for the young lady of the Prince's Mansion.

Su Xiaoxiao was very anxious. She and Xiaozhuo and others arrived at the execution ground, where a large crowd had already gathered. Some of the ordinary people who were there to watch the spectacle were now observing the scene.

At this moment, they were unaware of the reason for this man's execution. However, high-ranking officials were seated there, including the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, Prince Gong, and his mother, among others. They were there to see Qian Musheng's head fall to the ground and then immediately deliver it to her daughter's memorial tablet, thus comforting her daughter's unjustly murdered soul.

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Zhuozi squeezed together in the crowd, but they still hadn't seen Qian Musheng. They didn't know when Qian Musheng would be pushed out.

When the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review came out, he waved his hand, and the guards below dragged Qian Musheng out. At this time, Qian Musheng looked to be in very bad condition. He had obviously suffered a lot in prison, even though he used to have a good relationship with the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review.

He had once saved the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, but now he had offended both Prince Gong and his wife. Even if the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review believed Qian Musheng's words, he had to keep a low profile and dared not say a word more.

The Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review didn't need to read out any confession from Qian Musheng, because Qian Musheng had never confessed at all. No matter what he said now, he was guilty, and his crime was killing the princess's daughter.

Is this a minor offense?

The princess was watching the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review adjudicate a case from above. His hands were trembling so badly that he threw a slip of paper down from above and onto the ground.

"Behead immediately!"

The executioners on the other side had already prepared their knives, and were about to raise them to strike Qian Musheng.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao's heart was in her throat. She held the small table down with a small stool, preventing him from going over, fearing that he might actually do something as treasonous as storming the execution ground.

Qian Musheng closed his eyes, saying nothing, waiting for the executioner to bring down the blade. He was prepared to die whether he faced the danger or not; he knew no one could help him overturn the verdict unless the murderer confessed. Otherwise, no miracle would happen.

Qian Musheng was heartbroken. He could barely recall anything from that night. He remembered that he hadn't drunk too much, yet he was completely drunk. The next day, his head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to split open. He knew someone had drugged him.

But now he can't remember who drugged him. Most of the people sitting at his table that day were people he didn't know. They were just officials and wealthy people from high society pretending to be friendly and flattering each other. He really couldn't remember who was trying to harm him.

Logically speaking, he hadn't offended anyone these past few days, and there wasn't any enemy he saw on the table!

But he couldn't care less about that now. After all, what's a head loss is just a scar, and he'll be a hero again in eighteen years.

Qian Musheng was quite daring. He peeked into the crowd and actually spotted a small table and stools, and then he saw Su Xiaoxiao.

The moment Qian Musheng saw Su Xiaoxiao, his heart felt a sharp pain, as if something had bitten it.

The two men, Xiaozhuozi and Xiaodengzi, had been his servants for many years, so their concern was understandable. However, he also saw the worry on Su Xiaoxiao's face.

At this moment, Qian Musheng was both moved and gratified. To be honest, his heart was filled with thoughts of Su Xiaoxiao. However, he would be content to see Su Xiaoxiao one last time before he died.

Qian Musheng knew that he was truly doomed this time. Just as the executioner brought down his blade, he closed his eyes and waited for death with a peaceful expression.
