The streets were still filled with voices and curses.
The few prisoners had probably suffered a lot in the cell. Now, they could be beaten and scolded as they pleased, as if they were numb puppets.
However, they were only a kilometer away from the entrance of the market. If someone really came to rescue the prisoners, they should have come. Otherwise, they would have to go to the entrance of the market and shout for the executioners to hold back.
Unfortunately, even when the prison carts gradually disappeared, no one seemed to be rescuing the prisoners.
The young man in the teahouse who had previously made a solemn vow laughed dryly and said, “Maybe, there might be an ambush at the entrance of the market. Why don’t we go to the entrance of the market to take a look?”
“No, if there’s really an ambush, what if we suffer?”
Gu Dajiang also heard the conversation and nodded repeatedly. He said sternly to Gu Yundong, “You’re not allowed to go either.”
Gu Yundong did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I don’t plan to go. Let’s just wait for the news. They’ll be executed at noon. We can go back after lunch.”
Gu Dajiang was relieved. He was really afraid that his daughter would go and watch the beheading in order to warn herself. It was so bloody and not suitable for girls to see.
It was because of this that he had to follow her out.
Gu Yundong and his daughter were not the only ones. There were not many people on the second floor who left after watching the commotion. They seemed to be waiting for noon, causing the entire teahouse’s business to be exceptionally good.
The crowd downstairs had already dispersed. Some went to the entrance of the market, while others went home after watching the commotion and throwing the rotten vegetables.
Gu Yundong and Gu Dajiang drank tea and waited until noon. They also ordered a few dishes.
When it was time, someone quickly ran over and said, “Those bandits have been executed!!”
“That’s great, that’s great.” Cheers instantly erupted in the teahouse. Gu Yundong was shocked. She saw that many people’s faces revealed expressions of relief. Some people’s eyes even turned red and they clenched their fists tightly.
She instantly understood that everyone hated this kind of bandit who committed all kinds of evil.
Gu Yundong also smiled happily. After settling the bill with Gu Dajiang, she got up and went downstairs.
Xue Rong went to bring the carriage over. While Gu Yundong and Xue Rong were waiting downstairs, many people came down from the second floor.
The entrance of the teahouse suddenly became crowded. In addition, many people had returned from watching the commotion at the entrance of the market. There were suddenly many more people on the streets.
Gu Yundong and Gu Dajiang looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They should have left later. Now, they could only hope that Xue Rong would bring the carriage over as soon as possible.
Just as they were thinking about it, she saw Xue Rong walking over.
Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief. After helping Gu Dajiang into the carriage, she asked Xue Rong to leave quickly and go home.
Unexpectedly, just as Xue Rong pulled the reins and before the horse could take a step, a person suddenly staggered out and fell straight in front of the carriage.
Xue Rong was speechless. You can’t play like this. If you want to extort me, at least wait until my carriage starts to move.
There were so many people watching. They could all testify that you fell down yourself.
The person who fell to the ground was a woman with a bag in her hand. When she fell just now, everything in the bag fell out, and a few even rolled under the carriage.
She picked them up in a hurry, panic on her face. “I’m sorry. I—I didn’t mean it. I’ll pick them up now.”
Xue Rong was stunned. She’s not here to extort?
