Chapter 355
Like Xie Yi, these people were punished outside the ceremonial gate.
Outside the ceremonial gate is an open courtyard, and further outside is the gate of the yamen.
Because there were too many people gathered outside the yamen to watch the excitement, Minister Zhou was worried that something might happen if too many people were crowded together, so he had to open the yard and let the people in to watch the excitement.
So when Xie Yi was beaten with his bare buttocks, he was surrounded by this group of onlookers.
He was so angry that he fainted after receiving just twenty strokes of the cane.
However, the bailiff still beat Xie Yi with fifty boards before notifying the servants of the Xie Mansion to take Xie Yi away.
Now it's the turn of Bai Yuzhu and others.
Seeing that young women like Bai Yuzhu and Zhenzhu were also being beaten, the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Bai Yuzhu's face was ashen, and she kept signaling to Xu Maochun with her eyes, begging him to kill her.
Xu Maochun wanted to help her end it, but his whole body was numb and he had no strength at all. Now he could do nothing.
The bailiff first read out the crimes and sentences of several people, and then began the execution.
Soon, several people were pressed on the bench, their pants were pulled off, the board was lifted high, and then dropped heavily.
"what--"
Bai Yuzhu, Madam Liu and Zhenzhu let out shrill screams.
The sound reached the hall, and the eldest princess quickly covered Xie Ying's ears, then looked at Situ Yuan worriedly, fearing that the two children would be frightened.
Xie Ying opened her eyes wide, looking silly and cute as if she didn't understand anything.
But in her heart, she was secretly anticipating: [Next, it will be Chen Fang's turn, right? Once she's sentenced, she'll be cut off from all ties, and have to take back my grandmother's dowry and the Luo family's property. Could that thing the dead old woman wore on her head be my grandmother's relic?]
Because of Xie Ying's thoughts, Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao's eyes involuntarily fell on Old Madam Xie.
What Mrs. Xie wore today was a set of kingfisher feather headdress inlaid with rubies, sapphires, pearls and corals. The colors were very bright and the shape was exquisite and gorgeous.
Xie Xiu remembered that this was his mother's favorite jewelry. She usually didn't want to wear it and always kept it carefully.
But now, it was worn so openly on Mrs. Xie's head.
There were shrill screams coming from outside from time to time, but they still couldn't reduce the strong hatred that was boiling in Xie Xiu's heart.
But this is far from enough.
Yingying is right. Next, we must make our mother break off relations with Xie Yunyi, completely sever ties with these people, and take back our mother’s dowry and the Luo family’s embezzled property!
Xie Xiu winked at Luo Hongwang.
Luo Hongwang immediately said, "Sir, although Chen Fang admitted it, she was the one who made the decision on her own and hired someone to kill my cousin and his family.
But not only were my cousin's entire family murdered, but their belongings were also looted. Chen Fang, the vicious woman, did not reveal the whereabouts of the belongings. I suspect she deliberately hid them away!
After Caomin's cousin died, Xie Yun relied on his power to forcibly seize Caomin's cousin's shop, land and tea garden, claiming that they were for safekeeping for Xiu'er and You'er.
"I beg Your Excellency to intervene and order Chen Fang to reveal the whereabouts of the missing property, and to order Xie Yun to return my cousin's property. And to force my poor niece to renounce him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yun retorted excitedly: "Luo Hongwang, you and my father-in-law are not close, so the things my father-in-law left behind should naturally belong to Xiu'er and You'er.
Back then, I only kept it for them because the children were still young. I was not happy with your exorbitant asking price and your attempt to seize the property that my father-in-law had worked so hard to earn.
But you kept pestering me, forcing me to give you a share of the estate left by my father-in-law. I never thought you would be so greedy that you've been holding a grudge just because you weren't able to seize all of my father-in-law's estate.
Now, in order to seize those things, you even want Sheng Niang to break up with me! Sheng Niang is my original wife, we are a loving couple, why do you make the decision for her and make her break up with me? "
