son, don't mess around

The sun is shining and the weather is perfect!
The prison yard was surrounded by guards on high alert, and outside the prison door were heavy nets.

With the lesson learned from the risk of prisoner hijacking last time, the government took it very seriously this time and dispatched a large number of yamen runners to monitor and escort the prisoners along the way. Even the streets were cleared early.

At this moment, in front of the cell door.

Chen Xu was in a good mood.

He was leaning outside the cell door, dressed in a long blue robe, looking down at the escorted figure who had already fallen limply to the ground with a pale face.

He has waited for so long and finally got this opportunity!

He had finally waited until he could see with his own eyes the arrogant eldest son of the Chen family, who had never taken him seriously, ignored and humiliated him, ordered him around at will, and had never looked him in the eye, reduced to such a miserable state.

And he had waited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to personally trample on him, humiliate him and take revenge on him!
At this moment, Chen Xu's face was full of smiles, the kind of indescribable sneer! He looked very warm, but under the sunlight, he looked very cold.

"You wouldn't have thought that the eldest son of the Chen family in Heaven Hall would fall to this point, right?!"

Chen Junru's face was pale, and he was already filled with fear and despair. He looked at Chen Xu's sneer-filled face. He looked at the guy who had once dared not even breathe in front of him, and now dared to humiliate him like this.

"you……"

Chen Junru was extremely angry and regretted it immensely. He regretted not killing this ant whom he never took seriously, which led to his current state!
Facing Chen Xu's humiliation at this moment, the sneer in his eyes stung Chen Junru. He stared at Chen Xu and said angrily: "Traitor, you betrayed my father, you will not die well..."

If it weren't for Chen Xu's betrayal, how could his father have gone to jail?
How could I become like this?!
At this moment, Chen Junru's hatred for Chen Xu has exceeded his hatred for Lin Jiangnian!
Chen Xu sneered and said sarcastically, "You hired someone to kill someone, which is a heinous crime. In order to protect you, your uncle openly defied the government and the laws of the court. This is tantamount to treason!"

"As a member of the Chen family, how can I watch you two drag down the Chen family and ruin the foundation of my Chen family that has been built for decades?"

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being too stupid. You offended someone you shouldn't have offended and did something extremely stupid!"

Chen Junru stared at Chen Xu, wishing he could rush up and bite him hard twice.

Chen Xu's words were too sanctimonious and more like a villain's success!

Chen Xu took a few steps towards him, leaned over and said in a slightly lowered voice: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, cousin!"

"If you weren't so stupid, how could I be the heir to the Chen family?"

"You are doomed today, and no one can save you. But don't worry, I will definitely inherit the position of the head of the Chen family. Everything you couldn't get is mine now..."

"You can rest assured and die with your eyes wide open!"

"Hahaha……"

At the end, Chen Xu couldn't help laughing out loud.

carefree!

Cool!
I have never felt so refreshed in my life!
Especially when he saw Chen Junru's deathly pale and dull expression at this moment, Chen Xu's sense of revenge reached its peak!
"You, you deserve to die!"

Chen Junru, whose eyes were dull, suddenly came to his senses at some point. When he saw Chen Xu's arrogant and complacent smile, at this moment, Chen Junru, who was extremely angry, suddenly gained some strength.

Suddenly he stood up and rushed towards Chen Xu.

This pounce almost frightened Chen Xu to death!
But just as Chen Junru jumped up, two jailers pushed him back down from the left and right.

Chen Junru, who was pushed back, still had a fiery look in his eyes as he stared at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was so frightened that his face changed. He quickly stepped back a few steps and saw Chen Junru struggling to death. He sneered, "You still want to resist when you are about to die?!"

"Don't worry, I will be there the whole time you are beheaded today. I will watch your head drop to the ground with my own eyes!"

"Hahaha……"

After Chen Xu laughed twice, he turned around and left.

Chen Junru was so angry that he wanted to struggle, but he was already handcuffed and shackled by the jailer.

"It's almost time to get going!"

The jailer's cold words seemed to drain all of Chen Junru's strength in an instant. He stood there in a daze, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

"no no……"

He stammered and wanted to say something, but the jailer had already come closer and put a black hood on his head, then dragged him onto the prison cart.

Under the protection of jailers and runners, he was escorted to the execution ground!

Linjiang City, outside the west gate.

Crowds of people!

Countless people gathered to witness the grand spectacle of the second beheading of the eldest son of the Chen family!
On the city wall, in an unnoticed corner, Chen Xu stood there quietly, sneering as he watched the execution vehicle slowly stop beside the execution ground.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Junru, who had already collapsed all over, was dragged to the execution ground by the bailiffs.

Next to the execution ground, the executioner had been waiting for a long time, and the machete in his hand was already thirsty for energy!
When the black hood on Chen Junru's head was taken off, he had already turned pale and collapsed to the ground, without even the strength to struggle.

At this moment, the scene of the huge crowds of people around him almost scared him to death!

The people around were all extremely excited when they saw this scene!

Especially when they saw Chen Junru's miserable condition, they were extremely surprised, and many people even shouted that retribution had come!

God has eyes!
Many victims who had been persecuted and oppressed by Chen Junru were in tears at this moment, as their revenge had finally been achieved!
What a joy!
If the guards around the execution ground had not stopped him in time, the excited and angry crowd would have rushed up to the execution ground and torn Chen Junru to pieces alive!
At the execution ground, the supervising officer read out Chen Junru's crimes and the government's verdict in public. When the time came, he ordered the beheading!

The executioner raised his knife and cut it down quickly and neatly.

Everything is settled!
Chen Junru is dead!
This dandy young man who committed heinous crimes and aroused the anger of the people of Linjiang City died in a blaze of glory. It can be said that he died a worthy death!
For a long time after his death, he will be a figure that the people in the city talk about!
Chen Junru is dead, but the impact of this incident is far from over!

The strict investigation of the various families in Linjiang City by the Linwang Mansion is still continuing, and the families in the city are still in a panic!
The fate of the Zhu and Yan families, whose properties were confiscated, is already determined!

After the Lin Wang Mansion searched the two houses, the guards quickly found evidence that the Zhu and Yan families had secretly dealt with neighboring foreign countries and smuggled arms!
In this way, the evidence is conclusive!

The once huge Zhu Yan family collapsed overnight!

These noble families that seemed so powerful and prestigious in the past, and sometimes even had a greater influence than the Lin Wang Mansion, seemed so vulnerable when they really faced the wrath of the Lin Wang Mansion!
There is no way to parry!

The iron cavalry of the Linwang Mansion ruthlessly crushed these aristocratic families who were once inflated and arrogant!
The demise of the Zhu and Yan families made the remaining families feel even more insecure. Everyone realized that the Lin Wang Mansion was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!
But it is hard to say who is the chicken and who is the monkey!
No one wants to be that chicken!
Therefore, soon, some people from the noble families began to surrender to the Lin Wang Mansion! They secretly sent people to contact the Lin Wang Mansion, secretly sent visiting cards, and promised to send a large amount of rare and precious items to the Lin Wang Mansion.

Those noble families who had united together in the past and threatened to force the Lin Wang Mansion to surrender, are now scrambling to surrender to the Lin Wang Mansion instead of being the chicken that gets slaughtered!
All the families were in chaos, and the Chen family was in even greater disarray.

The death of Chen Junru was undoubtedly good news for many branch branches of the Chen family.

In addition, Chen Hongsheng was sentenced to exile, which meant that the position of the head of the Chen family was vacant. The main branch of the Chen family had no descendants, and the children of the side branches began to fight openly and secretly for the position of successor to the head of the family, fighting hard and bloody.

There was an undercurrent in Linjiang City, as if a shadow was hanging over the heads of all the noble families.

For the noble families, this period of time was a time of panic and anxiety. But for the ordinary people, they did not feel much change. The daily lives of the common people were not affected at all. In fact, after Chen Junru was beheaded, those former dandy children of noble families became extremely honest under his influence.

Without these playboys doing whatever they want in Linjiang City, the public security and order of the entire Linjiang City has reached the most stable and harmonious environment in history.

……

Early in the morning, it was just dawn.

A carriage drove out of the south gate of Linjiang City silently and headed south.

The sky was hazy, not yet fully light. In the distance, a ray of morning glow was slowly rising on the horizon.

After the carriage left the official road, it drove onto a forest path.

On the forest path, four figures in gray had been waiting for a long time.

The four of them looked ordinary, with no special features, and were unremarkable. But if you look closely, you can see that they have strong bodies, and their breathing is smooth and regular. They are all masters of internal martial arts, and have good internal strength!

The four men were carrying bags on their backs and had swords on their waists, which were wrapped in cloth strips and did not attract any attention at all.

The carriage slowly stopped.

"Master Chen, we're here!"

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and inside the carriage, Chen Hongsheng, who was also dressed in gray, opened his eyes.

"We can only take you so far. You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself!"

Chen Hongsheng looked calm as he slowly stood up and walked down from the carriage. His eyes fell on the four gray-clothed figures in front of him.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

He spoke in a deep voice.

"It's time for me to go back and report!"

The coachman got back in the carriage.

Chen Hongsheng's eyes were deep, and his tone was slightly deep: "Go back and thank your Highness for me!"

"Our prince said that he didn't help you, he just didn't want you to die so casually, that would be too boring!"

The coachman spoke calmly, and after giving his instructions, he left in the carriage.

The only ones left were Chen Hongsheng and the four gray-clothed figures.

These four people were the accompanying officials who escorted Chen Hongsheng all the way to exile in Southern Xinjiang! This time they hid their identities and escorted Chen Hongsheng to Southern Xinjiang.

Although Linjiang City is only a few hundred miles away from Southern Xinjiang, the mountain roads in Southern Xinjiang are rugged, swamps are everywhere, and poisonous insects can be seen everywhere, which can be considered extremely dangerous.

It was not easy for Chen Hongsheng to arrive in southern Xinjiang alive and safely.

The land of Southern Xinjiang was harsh, and those who had been exiled there had basically been a near-death experience over the years. Moreover, there were probably countless people who wanted to kill him along the way!

As the former head of the Chen family, Chen Hongsheng knew too many things, and there were many people who wanted to silence him!

"Chen Hongsheng, it's time to get going!"

A figure in gray spoke expressionlessly.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"

Chen Hongsheng spoke, retracted his gaze, and set off.

The path was rugged and the journey was not easy. Chen Hongsheng was not young anymore, and he lived a life of luxury, so walking was extremely challenging for him.

The sun gradually rose, and the weather became hotter and hotter. After more than half an hour, Chen Hongsheng was already sweating profusely, panting, and out of breath!
"Take a break."

A figure in grey glanced at him and decided to rest and replenish his energy.

Chen Hongsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly found a shady tree to sit down, breathing deeply and drinking water.

There was no such treatment for ordinary prisoners sentenced to exile. Ordinary prisoners not only had to wear heavy handcuffs and shackles, but also had to endure the sun and hunger along the way, and were whipped if they walked too slowly.

Most of the exiled prisoners died on the road!
But Chen Hongsheng was different. He was free to move around and did not suffer any abuse.

Apart from the long distance and the need to walk, he did not suffer any oppression.

Although Chen Hongsheng was puzzled, he thought about it again. Having fallen to this point, being able to survive was already the best outcome.

Although the conditions in southern Xinjiang were difficult, if he could reach there safely, he would still have some connections there. He could not make a comeback, but he would not have to worry about a miserable end.

Just at this moment, Chen Hongsheng suddenly heard footsteps approaching his ears.

He didn't look up, as he was out of breath after the long journey. Until a familiar voice sounded beside his ear: "Uncle."

Chen Hongsheng looked up suddenly, and a familiar young figure appeared in his sight.

"How will you be here?!"

Chen Hongsheng looked shocked.

A young man appeared in sight!

He walked closer slowly!
Chen Hongsheng stared at him, his expression moved, with a hint of uneasiness and solemnity flashing across his face.

Didn't expect Chen Xu to appear in this wilderness? !

At this moment, Chen Xu looked at his uncle who was sitting under the tree, looking disheveled and old, without the high spirits he used to have. His eyes were a little complicated.

He always had a certain degree of awe towards his uncle in his heart, even now.

Chen Xu put away the complicated expression in his eyes, regained his composure, and sighed softly: "I'll see you off, uncle!"

Chen Hongsheng stared at him, as if realizing something, and turned his head to look around. However, he saw silence all around, and the four gray-clad guards who had originally escorted him disappeared without a trace.

Chen Hongsheng's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he understood something. Staring at the familiar face of his nephew who used to look harmless, his face changed a lot, and countless complex emotions flashed across his face.

Finally, it returns to silence!

He took a deep breath, his expression gradually calmed down, and he returned to his usual indifferent look.

He stared at the nephew whom he once trusted very much, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Who asked you to kill me?!"
