Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

A few days later, the Meridian Gate

Liu Yanyan was dressed in a jade-green outfit, a hair crown on her head, and holding a folding fan. She was hidden in the crowd, watching Li Mei being escorted out by the yamen runners and pushed to the ground. She raised her head, her face covered in dust, and knelt down on the ground with difficulty.

Li Mei was wearing prison clothes, kneeling on the ground and slowly raising her head. Her hair was mixed with black blood and became strands. Her head was turning slowly, as if she was looking for someone, but she couldn't find him for a long time. A tear slipped from the corner of her eye and she knelt with difficulty.

Liu Yanyan felt very uncomfortable seeing her like this, but her reason overcame the impulse in her heart. She stood quietly in the crowd, not moving forward, and listened quietly to the discussions around her.

"Who is this woman? Why was she beheaded?"

"I don't know! We'll know soon!"

"He must have committed an unforgivable crime, otherwise why would he be beheaded?"

"That's right! But it's a pity, her face is quite pretty."

"How can you think it looks good when it has such a dirty face!"

"These facial features can still be seen if you look closely. Didn't you notice?"

"He's about to be beheaded. What am I going to watch? I don't dare watch. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares."

"You are so timid, what are you here to see! Go home quickly."

"I want to watch it. It's so hard to watch an execution now!"

"That's right! It's not a big deal to take a look."

Liu Yanyan felt bitter when she heard this. Yuzhu stood beside her and whispered, "Princess, why did you come to see this? This is so scary! Let's go back to the mansion, Princess! What if you scare us?"

Yuzhen also advised, "Princess, let's go back to the palace! If we don't go back, the prince will be worried."

Liu Wu kept his hand on the handle of the knife, not daring to relax at all, and was very nervous.

Liu Liu also held a knife in his hand and did not dare to relax at all.

Liu Yanyan raised her eyes, looked at the kneeling Li Mei, sighed softly, and whispered, "I promised her that I would burn the divorce certificate for her. I will not feel at ease if I don't come to see her off for the last time."

Yuzhu heard this and said, "Princess, you are still too soft-hearted. This was her own choice before."

Yuzhen also nodded and agreed, "That's right! She chose it herself, so she can't blame others."

Liu Yanyan looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly, "If she didn't see a glimmer of hope, she wouldn't be so extreme, just like before." Just like me back then, I was sad several times and wanted to die together.

The two were confused and puzzled. Yuzhu couldn't help but say, "How is that possible? Isn't being alive the most important thing?"

Yuzhen said, "That's right, Miss."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu with an innocent face and smiled faintly, thinking in her heart, "Yuzhu, Yuzhen is good like this." Live a simple life and be happy every day.

At this time, Mr. Gao, wearing a red official robe, walked up to the high platform, stood behind the desk, looked at Li Mei, and said coldly, "The criminal Li Mei set fire to Zhao Lin's family of three in Zhaojia Village and killed them. She had a vicious mind and cruel means. She deserves death. Now that the evidence is conclusive, Li Mei is sentenced to beheaded immediately."

Li Mei looked up at Mr. Gao with a blank look in her eyes, saying nothing for a long time.

The people below were so angry when they heard that, they threw rotten vegetable leaves and stinky eggs at Li Mei. Li Mei did not even try to dodge, she walked like a dead tree, without a trace of life in her eyes.

Mr. Gao shouted, "Stop, stop, it's noon, identify yourself."

At this time, the crowd stopped and dared not throw rotten vegetable leaves anymore.

The executioner stepped forward with a big knife in one hand and raised his other hand to force Li Mei to look up. He reported to Master Gao, "Master, this is Li Mei. It has been confirmed."

Li Mei raised her head, tears streaming down her cheeks. She looked at Mr. Gao with despair and said excitedly, "Why? Why me? They are the ones who should die! They are the ones who deserve to die! Go and kill them! Go!"

Mr. Gao looked at the excited Li Mei and said, "They deserve to die. I never said they didn't deserve to die, but this is not a reason for you to burn them to death. You can report to the authorities and the authorities will deal with them. If you burn them to death, you will have to pay the price for it. Sigh (?o﹏o?), tell me your last words!"

Li Mei shed tears and said in despair, "I have avenged myself and my child. I have no regrets in death. I just hope that Lord Liu can burn the divorce papers for me!" After saying that, she searched desperately among the crowd.

Liu Yanyan looked at Li Mei's desperate eyes and couldn't bear to see her leave in despair. She finally raised her hand and waved it, holding the jade-green folding fan high above her head.

The jade-green folding fan was very conspicuous in the crowd. When Li Mei saw it, her face was full of tear marks. She smiled and said with tears in her eyes, "Mr. Gao, I have no regrets, I have no regrets." After that, she looked deeply at the crowd below.

Liu Yanyan looked at her and nodded slowly, her eyes full of pity for her, and gently withdrew her hand holding the folding fan.

When Mr. Gao heard Li Mei's answer, he picked up the token on the table, dipped a wolf-hair brush in blood-red cinnabar, drew a cross on the token, and threw it at Li Mei's feet, "Behead her immediately."

Liu Yanyan looked at the executioner and brought a bowl of wine to Li Mei. Li Mei drank it in one gulp without hesitation and knelt there in a daze.

When the executioner raised the knife, Liu Yanyan subconsciously closed her eyes. The smell of blood swept over her, and she couldn't help but dry heave.

When Liu Yanyan opened her eyes again, what she saw was the fiery red camellia flowers falling from the branches, dyeing the ground red. Liu Yanyan frowned and dared not look any longer, and raised her hands to cover her face.

The people holding the blackened buns rushed forward, frightening Liu Yanyan so much that she didn't have time to feel sad. She took several steps back and was supported by Yuzhu. She watched them rush forward, fell to the ground, and put the buns stained with blood into her arms.

Liu Yanyan looked at it and subconsciously stepped back several steps. When she turned the corner and could no longer see what was happening here, she trembled and said, "Yuzhu, Yuzhu, what are they doing! They are using steamed buns to dip in blood. What are they doing?"

Yuzhu gently stroked the princess's hand and said soothingly, "Princess, Princess, you are seeing things wrong. There is nothing, nothing. You are seeing things wrong."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu seriously, "I didn't, I saw it, I saw it, really! Yuzhu, what are they doing, are they crazy?"

Yuzhu lowered her head and whispered, "Princess, please don't worry about it. They can't do anything about it."

Liu Yanyan calmed down, looked at Yuzhu and said, "Go ahead! I'm listening."

Yuzhu choked up and said, "Someone in their family is sick, and they don't have money to go to the clinic to get medicine, so they had no choice but to come and grab this blood-stained steamed bun to save their lives. After all, it's free, and if it really can save a life, then the family can be saved..."

Liu Yanyan's eyes drifted across the crowd in front of the Meridian Gate, and a trace of sadness rose in her heart. She turned and walked out, and said to Liu Liu beside her, "The crowd will disperse in a while, and go arrange for someone to collect Li Mei's body. Death is like the extinguishing of a light, let her go in one piece!"

Liu Liu bowed and said, "Yes, Princess. I will arrange it in a moment."

Only then did Liu Yanyan put her hand on Yuzhu's hand and staggered towards the alley, feeling an unbearable bitterness in her heart. She heard noisy voices behind her and did not have the courage to look back, leaving behind a green jade-like figure.
