Chapter 749: Just the Beginning
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Many people followed the instigators and began to curse at the three people on the execution platform.
“Execute him!” Xie Pinggang shouted directly.
The disciplinary officer from the criminal division was ready.
He raised the canes from both sides.
He was getting so many canes. Even if he was caned 70 or 80 times, he would probably die after being hit. Therefore, there was no need to tamper with the cane.
Moreover, the disciplinary officer of the criminal division had an exceptionally good technique.
Thump!
The first cane was hit.
The three people shut their mouths. They laid there. Instantly, their faces turned red and beads of sweat rolled down. They could not help but move around, but they were tightly bound and could not break free!
Thump, thump, thump…
The noise fell like a storm of hail.
The bigger it was, the quieter the scene became.
Death penalty was not usually carried out in this season… Now that they were suddenly going to beat someone to death, it was indeed a sensational event!
Of course, it was not just the scene that was frightening.
More importantly, among the people watching the execution, almost all of them were parents-in-law. It was inevitable that some of them had done something like drowning their granddaughters…
Although there were not many cases like this in the capital, there were still cases.
They were watching a criminal who did what they had done beaten to death. Even if the criminal died in the between, he would still be beaten until the punishment ended. How could they bear to watch that?
Some of the people in the crowd fainted from fright.
Some of them could not help but think of their grandchildren or daughters who had been mistreated at home and felt guilty.
In the past, they had killed criminals who committed heinous crimes. It was the first time that the criminal’s crime was drowning baby girls…
What kind of omen was this?
Was the government going to investigate?
After the beating, the atmosphere in the capital changed.
Some pregnant women could not help but heave a sigh of relief…
How many of the newly married women were ruthless and vicious? Most of them had no choice. After experiencing too much, they would have a heart of steel and walk down the same path as the previous generation.
Now that this had happened, many pregnant women felt at ease.
At least they did not have to worry that their own flesh would lose their lives the moment they were born…
Even if their days were a little tougher in the future, they could still endure it.
The Crown Prince, the supervisor of the criminal division, was there. Everyone knew that the Crown Prince had tacitly agreed to this case.
When the Crown Prince did something, people would always find fault with him.
However, this time, it was not as expected. The officials in the capital were surprisingly obedient and did not immediately go to the palace to complain about him.
On the Yan family’s side, Master Yan could not help but sigh. “I’m afraid that only the Crown Prince would dare to do such a thing. Even when the Emperor was the Crown Prince, he would not be so fearless.”
“Father, you must not find trouble with the Crown Prince this time. When Master Mo was here, she made it very clear that the ghoul that bullied mother was killed by the Bao family! It could be said that killing the Bao family was also revenge for Mother! We can’t repay kindness with enmity, right?!” Young Lady Yan was worried.
“I know.” Master Yan nodded, “I can target the Crown Prince for other matters, but for this matter, the Crown Prince is right. Although the current dynasty has a lot more people than the previous dynasty, the number of women is still not enough. In many places, men can’t get a wife, and the customs of the people are getting worse. With the Crown Prince doing this, it will more or less have a deterrent effect. At least in two to three years, the number of baby girls will increase.”
It was just the beginning.
He had not always complained blindly about the Crown Prince.
For instance, the previous incident with Witch Mo, it was true that the Crown Prince’s actions had been too attention-seeking.
Now, he was convinced of this matter and had nothing else to say..
