TSBFL Chapter 124.3
Chapter 124.3: 行刑
[Execution]
It was only after they had left that all the young sons of the Zhao family opened their mouths and said in fear: “Grandma, what’s going on? Why are you preparing all this? Did something happen to Mother?”
“That’s right ah, Grandma, what happened? Why all of a sudden is it like this?”
“Grandma, say something ah! Don’t scare us anymore!”
The old madam listened to them, her eyes skimming over their anxious faces. After all these years of being treated and living like a prince, the children of the Zhao family had become weak, they could not withstand a single blow; collapse at the first blow, and were like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow (i easily frightened) when something went wrong.
Finally, the old lady’s eyes fixed on her youngest grandson, looking at his childish and ignorant face, she saw in a trance the scene of many years ago when that beautiful woman holding her young son smiled at the whole family and asked them if they needed help.
“Retribution!”.
###
Three days later, the government announced the crimes of Master Zhao and the others, declared their punishment, and announced to people the time of Master Zhao’s execution.
At once, the whole city was in an uproar, the discussion about Zhao’s family was endless, even Gu Lang, who hadn’t been back for a long time but had brought down two rich families in a row, was also , and along with them, even their several shops that opened were also concerned.
After Chen Xing knew of Zhao Lao Ye’s execution news, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then sighed gently, ‘he who is unrighteous is doomed to destruction’ these words were estimated to be the best portrayal of Zhao Lao Ye.
Due to the rumors outside, there is a high probability that he will be surrounded when he goes out, plus the temperature outside is hot and cold due to the change of weather in the past few days, so Gu Lang has been recuperating at home for the past few days.
At this time, Gu Lang is painting in front of the table, eyes downcast and recessed, looking extraordinarily serious. Chen Xing, who was carrying a bowl of ginseng tea, saw this scene. He stood at the doorway for a while before slowly walking over.
Chen Xing put the ginseng tea in a position farther away from Gu Lang’s painting and looked at him, wanting to say something but then hesitate.
Gu Lang seemed to sense something, so he raised his head, immediately met Chen Xing who did not have time to retract his line of sight. Looking at his hastily retracted line of sight, he gently smiled, even with a few indulgences in the tone, “What’s wrong? Do you have something that you want to say to me?”
Chen Xing raised his eyes to look at Gu Lang, and saw that he was staring at him with only a little bit of doubt in his eyes, and his whole body did not have a half a day of sadness, and after some thought, he still told Gu Lang the news that had just been delivered to him, “The time of the execution of Zhao Lao Ye will be four days from now.”
The moment he heard Chen Xing’s words, the emotion in Gu Lang’s eyes tightened for a few minutes, and even the smile on his face faded a bit as he faintly responded, “I know.”
Chen Xing was a little worried as he looked at him. Seeing him did not show a lot of excessive emotions, or his usual that kind of indifferent look, somewhat can not understand his thoughts, but he also can not guess whether Gu Lang was happy or not. He tangled for a while yet still said: “When the time comes, do you want to go and see it? If you want to go, I will accompany you.”
Gu Lang froze for a moment, obviously not thinking that Chen Xing would say it like this, then his eyes fell on the body of Chen Xing, looking at his worried look, a moment before he could understand what he was thinking about.
Suddenly, Gu Lang’s originally calm and unruffled heart ripples, like a cold winter suddenly got a big bowl of ginger soup, all of a sudden warm into his heart.
Chen Xing stood at the same place, looking at Gu Lang who became happy for some reason, and felt that he could not make sense of it. He just felt that just lw Gu Lang was not happy, how could he change his face so quickly?
Gu Lang did not say anything more, just looked at him and nodded lightly, then said: “Hn, when the time comes, please trouble you to accompany me on this trip.”
Chen Xing heard him say this, and knew that he should not keep those unbearable things in his heart, so he also became happy and excited, nodded heavily towards him, and responded: “Hn, okay.”
As Gu Lang watched Chen Xing’s foolish appearance, his facial expression became more and more happy.
The day of Zhao Lao Ye’s execution was a cloudy day, and it looked like it was going to rain.
###
Chen Xing accompanied Gu Lang to the execution ground, looking at the crowd of people rushing in all directions, suddenly remembered that when he first came here, he had also seen this kind of scene, but that time he only saw the prisoners kneeling, heard the people bustling in his ears, and smelled the faint scent of Gu Lang’s medicine.
Thinking about what happened last time, Chen Xing’s cheeks instantly reddened, and even his steps forward paused for a moment.
Gu Lang, who was walking beside Chen Xing, sensed that he had a slightly different look, and then stopped, turned his head towards him, and after seeing his suddenly gloomy and suddenly happy look on his face, he immediately misunderstood something, and asked him:
“If you are not feeling well, go and wait for me in the shop, and I will come and find you later when I have finished. After all, the scene of the execution is too bloody, and it is not suitable for you to stay there.”
