PNB Chapter 605 Beheading
Chapter 605 Beheading
When Shang Zhanchen finished reviewing the memorials and brought his son back, he found that the palace maids and eunuchs in the yard walked strangely.
Some of them dragged themselves on the ground as if their legs were not working properly, some were simply limping, and some could not even straighten their backs.
Although they were both grinning, their faces were filled with smiles and a hint of excitement, which confused the father and son.
Even Jiang Zuo and Jiang You were confused. Looking at the servants in the yard, their heads were full of question marks.
"..."
What's going on? They look like they are in a lot of pain, but why are they still smiling?
"Where is the Crown Princess?"
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess and the little princess are in the alchemy room." Shaoyao pointed in the direction of the alchemy room.
Shang Zhanchen took a look and ran straight over. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a little eunuch limping out happily.
When he saw the prince, he bowed hurriedly.
"Prince!"
"Yeah." Shang Zhanchen nodded.
I took another look at the change in his hand, and my mind was full of question marks.
Even Jiang Zuo and Jiang You looked confused.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Zuo pointed at his leg.
Everyone was fine when we left this morning, how come so many of them are limping or unable to straighten their backs in just this morning?
Before the young eunuch could say anything, a small figure rushed out from the alchemy room.
"Father, my mother taught me acupuncture, hehehe..."
As soon as Shang Rou rushed out, she threw herself towards her father. Shang Zhanchen immediately hugged his daughter in his arms and gave her a rare kiss.
"So you stabbed them all?" He pointed at the palace maids and eunuchs in the yard.
If I'm not mistaken, these should be the work of my daughter.
"Yeah." The little girl nodded heavily and happily kissed her father on the face.
"Father, Mother said I have made great progress."
My mother said she had made great progress this morning, and I was so happy.
"Really? Rou'er is so amazing." Shang Zhanchen kissed his daughter again.
Seeing so many lame people in the yard, it seems my daughter has practiced a lot.
"What's the matter with this silver?" Jiang You looked at the silver in the eunuch's hand.
Seeing him looking at Le all the time, it seemed like something was wrong.
"This is a reward given to me by the Crown Princess." The young eunuch pursed his lips happily.
Although his legs were not very useful at the moment, he was still very happy when he thought of the two taels of silver given to him by the Crown Princess.
Jiang Zuo was just about to ask more details when Shen Yiyi came out happily.
"Brother Chen, you are back."
"Yiyi, what's going on?" Shang Zhanchen pointed at the servants in the yard.
I haven't heard Yiyi mention it before, why are you starting to practice it now?
"Brother Chen, I plan to let Rouer start practicing from today." Shen Yiyi also pointed to the servants in the yard.
After Rouer has learned all of her medical skills, she will be protected even if she encounters any danger again.
"Yeah." Shang Zhanchen nodded and guessed what Yiyi was thinking.
"Brother, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Shang Rou slipped off her father's body, pulled her brother aside, and for fear of being heard by others, she put her little mouth close to Shang Jiao's ear.
"Royal brother, that thing is done." The little girl blinked excitedly at her royal brother.
I think he should be able to understand what I said.
"Really?" Shang Jiao's eyes lit up.
He looked at his sister happily. He was still thinking about how to make Concubine Yun eat the worm, but he didn't expect that his sister had already made him eat it.
"Well, I saw her drink it with my own eyes." The little girl was very excited.
That Concubine Yun is so easy to fool.
"Royal brother, then when will we..." Before the little girl could finish her words, Shang Jiao covered her mouth.
"Shh!" The little guy made a gesture to silence his sister.
He raised his chin towards his father again. Didn’t he see that his father was listening with his ears perked up?
The little girl also looked over here and immediately closed her mouth obediently.
"Then let's talk about it tonight."
This must not be known to my father and mother.
“…”Shang Zhanchen.
Who knows what these two bastards are planning again. Seeing Brother Chen eavesdropping with his ears perked up, Shen Yiyi curled the corners of her mouth in amusement and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Brother Chen, have you found the two people who kidnapped Rou'er?"
They said before that one of them has not been found yet. I don’t know whether that person has been found or not, and I don’t know how Brother Chen plans to deal with them.
"They've all been found. The two men and the old procuress will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate at noon today." Shang Zhanchen's face also turned cold.
He kidnapped her precious daughter and sold her to a brothel. It was good enough that his entire family was not wiped out.
"Well, they all deserve to die." Shen Yiyi's face also turned cold.
This is Brother Chen. If it were me, I would have killed anyone who dared to bully my daughter like this.
At this moment, at the Meridian Gate, Zhang Da, Zhang Er and the brothel's madam were kneeling on the ground, tied up.
The area was filled with onlookers, who were now pointing fingers at them.
"..."
The Emperor and the Crown Prince are so merciful. They kidnapped the little princess and sold her to a brothel, and they were lucky enough that they didn't kill her entire family.
Zhang Da, Zhang Er and the brothel's madam were shaking like sieves and their faces were pale with fear.
"..."
We have done this so many times over the years and everything has been pretty peaceful, but I didn't expect that this time the little princess would be kidnapped.
He was about to be beheaded. Looking at the big knife in the executioner's hand, he was terrified and regretful.
If I could live my life over again, I would never do such a thing, but it's too late to say anything now.
At noon, the executioner raised his knife and chopped down three bloody heads, which rolled far away. Everyone was so frightened that they dared not open their eyes to look.
Furthermore, during the following festival, a major search was conducted in all brothels in the capital, and all personnel were required to register.
This investigation was incredible, as they found out that hundreds of people were forced into prostitution. Following the clues, they found out more than twenty people like Zhang Da, Zhang Er and the brothel owner who forced women of good families into prostitution.
Because of what happened to the little princess before, this kind of thing was dealt with severely and all the people involved were pushed to the Meridian Gate and beheaded.
This had a great deterrent effect on the brothel industry, and the madams of those brothels no longer dared to force women of good character into prostitution.
Shang Rou was completely unaware of these things. She would get up early every day and follow her mother into the alchemy room to practice acupuncture, which made the palace maids and eunuchs very happy.
As long as you go in, you can get one or two taels of silver for free. If the wound is serious, you can get more. The most you can get is ten taels of silver, which makes others envious.
I just hope that the little princess can give me a more serious injection, so that I can get more money. At least with the Crown Princess around, I don't have to worry about getting hurt.
Moreover, if the injury is serious, not only will there be a holiday, but there will also be supplements to drink. This is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern. I dream of the little princess hurting herself.
Therefore, in the following days, there was hardly a good servant in the entire East Palace.
Some of them have crooked mouths and squinting eyes, while others have limped and hunched backs, but they all have smiles on their faces, and they really are in pain and happy at the same time.
