Chapter 188 What is her purpose?
"Think carefully! If you admit it, you will bear all the blame and will surely die!"
Ma Yuan was panicked, his face full of fear, "Uncle, I, I..."
"Yuan, you made such a big mistake because of my inadequate discipline as your uncle. That's why you ended up like this! Don't worry, your uncle will take good care of your mother and will never let her be left alone in her old age!"
Hearing this, Ma Yuan looked at Yang You again with his eyes full of despair.
Is his uncle going to give up on him?
And he even used his mother as a threat...
Anger also rose on Zhang Zhiyi's face. How could he not see Yang You's purpose?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ma Yuan speak, his voice revealing a hint of despair.
"My uncle is right. I did all this." Ma Yuan lowered his eyelids, hiding the fear and other emotions in his eyes.
Zhang Zhiyi was clearly unwilling to accept the loss and reminded him again: "Ma Yuan, have you thought it through? This is a capital crime! If you really admit it, no one can save you!!"
Ma Yuan smiled bitterly. His face was now covered in bruises. How could he still look as arrogant as he was in the morning?
In fact, when he was in the military office, Yang You had hinted to Ma Yuan more than once that the wealth and glory he was enjoying now might have to be paid for one day in the future.
He must have thought of this day a long time ago, right?
Let him run rampant outside, and let him do all the dirty and life-threatening work. In the name of letting him experience the glory of being the best, but in fact, it is all for this day, right?
Ma Yuan recalled the days after he came to Beisha City, feeling deeply moved.
He truly enjoyed that kind of life. He had never imagined this day would come, let alone that it would come so soon!
"Sir, I admit it all!"
"I stole the woman, I beat the old man, and I killed him. I did it all! Sir, you can convict me, I admit it all!"
Ma Yuan's face was ashen, and he had lost all hope. After all, he had done those things, and he couldn't hide from them.
Now that he can save his uncle, it can be considered the last thing he does for his mother.
Ma Yuan's confession immediately shocked the crowd. "Ma Yuan actually confessed! Will he be sentenced?"
"Of course! With so many crimes, it must be punishable by death!"
"Your Majesty is truly mighty. With one move from Your Majesty, even those whom the Governor dared not touch were easily dealt with!"
"Without the oppression of those corrupt officials, the people of Beisha City will have a good life in the future!"
……
Su Su's face turned ugly when he heard these words. After all, the term "dog official" included him as well.
Shu He stepped forward, walked to the opposite side of Su Su, and said, "Master Su, since Ma Yuandu has pleaded guilty, why don't you let him be wronged and try the case and sentence him here. This will also give the people of Beisha City a legitimate explanation, right?"
Su Su glanced at Baili Moqing, and seeing that he didn't indicate anything else, she knew that the matter was completely under the control of this woman.
He immediately agreed, read out Ma Yuan's crimes in public, and finally decided to execute him in the street ten days later.
From Ma Yuan's arrest, to his confession, to his sentencing, the time was unprecedentedly fast! So fast that the people were somewhat caught off guard.
Is it such an easy sentence?
Is he going to be executed?
The speed was so fast that the people couldn't believe it!
It was not until ten days later, when they saw Ma Yuan, who had bullied them countless times, being beheaded in the street and blood splattered everywhere, that they completely believed this fact.
Shu He was also slightly surprised. She hadn't expected Ma Yuan to confess so readily. It seemed the witnesses she had prepared were useless for the time being. But it didn't matter; they would come in handy someday.
Ma Yuan was taken away in a prison van by the yamen runners brought by Su Su, and the cheers of the people also surged.
"The citizens of Beisha City are finally free from oppression! We can finally live a good life!"
"With the prince guarding Beisha City, we no longer have to worry about corrupt officials protecting each other and exploiting the people!"
"Live a thousand years, Lord God of War!"
The people cheered one after another, which made Baili Moqing feel a little guilty.
In fact, all of this only serves as a deterrent.
This credit really shouldn't be attributed to him.
He subconsciously looked at Shu He, only to see that the woman was looking at the people with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Her credit was taken away, but she doesn't care at all?
Su Su looked at this scene, feeling embarrassed and uneasy.
Is this the end of the matter?
Why does he always feel that this matter is not that simple?
He looked back at the woman who had been in the dominant position from the beginning.
King Dongli's attitude towards her is very intriguing.
He seemed to have no opinion on anything she did, and there was always a strange sense of obedience in his attitude.
What is her true identity? Why does the always arrogant and detached King Dongli treat her differently?
She seems to be very satisfied with the current outcome.
Could it be that Ma Yuan is really her ultimate goal?
Countless questions raced through his mind, but he couldn't find a clue. Suddenly, he felt pain all over his body, as if being pricked by needles. His face, in particular, felt a burning sensation.
Chen Shuai was holding Ma Yuan, who was covered in wounds, and was filled with regret.
He was here, originally waiting for the governor and the military officer to bring the woman who killed someone in the street back to the government prison.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the person he finally waited for was Ma Yuan, who had always been bullying him!
The four words "things in the world are unpredictable" are fully demonstrated today!
Behind him, a group of civilians were throwing small stones at the prison van. There was nothing else to throw. Under Ma Yuan's oppression, they couldn't even afford to eat, let alone vegetables.
Many of the yamen runners escorting the prison van were also accidentally injured, but everyone tacitly agreed not to say a word, let alone drive them away violently.
After all, over the years, under the leadership of such provincial governors and military officers, they have become more or less unclean.
They were also afraid that these people would be provoked and run to King Dongli's Biluoyuan to complain. Who knew if they would become the second "Ma Yuan" then?
The Biluo Courtyard was almost empty. There were still some people who hadn't left, staring at Shu He. When the gatekeeper Xiao Hei saw this, he "invited" those people to leave in a very unhappy manner.
Outside the door, someone asked Xiao Hei, "Brother, was that woman inside just now the female general who slaughtered the Northern Di army on the city wall a few nights ago?"
"Female general?"
Xiao Hei looked confused. Does our Apocalypse have any female generals?
During the Tianqi period, women were not allowed to hold official positions, so how could there be any female generals?
"Mrs. He is not a female general, but she is indeed the woman who killed and defeated the enemy on the city wall a few days ago, and drove back tens of thousands of Beidi troops!"
That day, he also went up to the city wall to meet the enemy, and was fortunate enough to witness Lady He's battle that was almost worthy of being called a legend!
"It's really her!" The man who asked was full of surprise. "I knew that such a magical woman must be someone close to the prince!"
If Shu He heard this, he would probably want to beat this guy up!
Why must such a magical woman like her be by Baili Moqing's side?
It's as if she is his appendage!
Fortunately, Shu He, who was in the yard, did not hear these words.
She looked at Su Su and Yang You, who was lying on the ground exhausted, and a strange smile appeared on her face.
