Chapter 411
Half a month later, Wei Yan sent a message from the palace to the Ling residence
The one who came to deliver the message was Wei Yan’s medicine boy, Tian Dong
Old Mrs Ling waited for so long, finally waited for Wei Yan’s news, her heart was overjoyed
Busy ordering people to reward Tian Dong, can not wait for Tian Dong to retire, opened the letter
After reading the letter, Ling old lady seems to be sad, tugging at her lips to say something, but tears welled up again
Ling Fifth Master asked anxiously, “Mother, what exactly is written on this letter?
Can we save my sister or not?”
Sun and the others also looked expectant
Li Clan has been cold-shouldered by Ling Fifth Master these days, and has long since lost her old demeanor, and at this time, she also made an eager appearance
Old Mrs Ling cried, “The Da Lisi has closed the case
His Holiness personally issued an imperial decree to behead the two brothers Lu Ping and Lu An
The time is just three days from now!”
Although the crowd had known that the Lu An brothers would not be able to escape death, their hearts still sank when they heard this terrible news
Ling Xiao sighed in relief, “Since grandmother said so, it seems that only auntie and Lu’s second uncle will be beheaded
Auntie and Cousin Qian should always be able to stay alive”
Old Mrs Ling wiped her tears with a handkerchief, “Wei Yan said in his letter that the Emperor, in a fit of rage, originally wanted to behead the entire family
Later, Wei Yan opened his mouth to plead for leniency, and the Empress followed to intercede, and the Emperor was extraordinarily gracious
Only two of them will be executed, the rest of the Lu family members can be exempted from the death penalty, living crimes are difficult to escape, all exiled to the cold place outside the customs
This life is not allowed to enter the customs half step ” said, and howled: “My poor daughter ah!
This life, I am never see you again”
Ling Fifth Master’s red eyes counseled, “Mother don’t be sad either
This outcome is already far better than expected
At least sister still has her life, and Ah Qian has also saved a life”Yes!
If Wei Yan hadn’t made an effort from this, the Lu family would have had their entire family beheaded
That’s over a hundred lives!”
Sun also spoke out in agreement
With Wei Yan’s strength alone, he had saved so many lives
There was nothing to complain about preparing even more dowry for Ling Jingshu
The people spoke to comfort Old Mrs Ling, and after crying for a while, Old Mrs Ling slowly calmed down
Ling Jingshu was a bit confused from the moment she heard Old Mrs Ling’s words
How could it be like this?
When she had sent the letter to Wei Yan earlier, she had already clearly hinted at her intentions
It was fine to let him do his act, there was no need to really plead for mercy for the Lu family
How could it turn out like this now?
Wei Yan actually really stepped in and saved the Lu family members
Tian Dong quietly walked over to Ling Jingshu’s sideMiss, this is the letter that Imperial Doctor Wei specially ordered me to hand over to you”
While whispering, Tian Dong quickly took out a letter from her sleeve and shoved it into Ling Jingshu’s hands
Ling Jingshu took the letter in Tian Dong’s hand, her brows slightly furrowed
After returning to the house, Ling Jingshu immediately opened the letterAh Shu, see the letter and be well”I made my decision without discussing this matter with you
The Emperor did have the intention of beheading the Lu family, and I opened my mouth to plead for mercy for the Lu family
Since you have seen this letter, you should also know everything
I hope you don’t blame me for taking matters into my own hands”In your previous life, you suffered a lot of torture and pain, Lu An was the main culprit, Lu Ping pushed from it, and the two of them had to die
I know that you hate Ling and can’t wait to see Ling beheaded along with them
However, after all, Ling and you have a layer of blood relations, your grandmother and open mouth personally begged me to save her life
If I don’t do anything, your grandmother will be angry with you
After all, you are the daughter of the Ling family, in the future, you will have to move with your mother’s family
Today, I helped save Ling’s Lu Qian and Lu’s family, which is a great favor to the Ling family
In the future, the Ling family will have to hold you in high regard, and no one will be slow to do so”For Ling, living in pain, suffering torture and misery is actually harder than dying”Lu Qian’s fault in his previous life was that he was obsessed with you, and although he had no intention of pushing you into the fire pit, in the end, he harmed you
Just leave him a life and let him live in endless regret and self-blame
That is the greatest punishment for him”Other than them, the other Lu family members are also not guilty of death
If more than a hundred lives are really lost like this, when you think about it in the future, you can’t help but feel a nagging guilt in your heart
Therefore, I beg the Emperor to spare them all together”These are all my unauthorized decisions after weighing them, I hope that you can appreciate my painstaking efforts and don’t get angry”
The inscription was diffused
Ling Jingshu read the letter over and over in silence
Undeniably, she did feel a little chagrined and unhappy when she saw this letter at first glance
After calming down and thinking carefully, she had to admit that Wei Yan’s words made sense
Ling Xiao is unlikely to sever his relationship with the Ling family, and she will have to deal with the Ling family in the future
Wei Yan’s rescue at this time, and the favor bestowed on the Ling family, was also for her consideration
Wouldn’t it be worse than death for Ling to live in agonizing pain day in and day out?
She loathed Lu Qian, but did not hate him to the point of wishing him dead
The rest of Lu’s family was even more innocently implicated
If all of them were really beheaded, could she really turn a blind eye to these more than a hundred lives?
These days, she was so overwhelmed by the joy of revenge that she didn’t care about this at all
Wei Yan, however, was much calmer than her, and also thought more thoroughly
Which woman in the world could not be moved by this thoughtfulness and tenderness of heart?
After Ling Jingshu figured it out, the last trace of chagrin in her heart also vanished
Three days later
The execution ground today, Lu Ping Lu An brothers were executed
The capital is the foot of the sky, all the major criminals from all over the world have to be escorted to the capital to the Ministry of Justice for trial
Every year, this beheading show must be seen on ten or eight times
The people of the capital, there is no lack of bold, every execution, outside the torture chamber are crowded with people
Today is no exception
The people who came to watch were stopped outside the fence
One by one tiptoe to look inside, there are those who have a broken mouth gossip together to say a long storyHave you heard, this Lu Pingyuan was originally an officer in the Ministry of War, I heard that the official position is not low
He was devoted to the King of Yan, and worked hard for the King of Yan
Now he has lost his family!”That’s lucky, only two of them, him and his elder brother, were executed
The rest of the Lu family survived”If the entire Lu family had been beheaded, I’m afraid this execution ground would not be enough today”
As they were gossiping, there was a sudden movement at the back
The crowd curiously probed and looked, but saw a line of men and women clustered around an elderly woman crowded forward
There were both men and women in the group, the men were dressed in expensive clothes, and the women were wearing hats, so it was clear at a glance that they were not ordinary people
What is even more remarkable is that these people all have sad faces, obviously the friends and relatives of the beheaded Lu brothers
