Capítulo 1403: Chapter 1369: Execution of Dark Wolf
“But we don’t know whose these things originally belong to. What if soone falsely claims them?” The Assistant frowned, knowing such things were not impossible. However, if it happens, how should it be resolved?
“That’s true!” Yao Yue nodded, then pondered, “Maybe we can let the villagers submit a list of lost items themselves, wouldn’t that solve the problem?”
“There is a problem, a big problem!” The Assistant took a deep breath and said, “I know the Lord Mansion has many treasures, I can list them. If soone includes their neighbor’s possessions, or even items from antique stores in the city, how will we repay? Should we give those people the things that originally belong to the antique shop?”
“Hmm, there certainly is a problem!” Yao Yue nodded, looking at the Assistant doubtfully, “What do you propose to do then?”
“In my opinion, we simply shouldn’t return them. Let all these items belong to the Lord Mansion!” The Assistant looked seriously at Yao Yue and then said, “I can provide so compensation according to the wealth disparity among the households. This way, not only will they be grateful to the Lord Mansion, but it will also restore the mansion’s reputation to its forr glory. What do you think?”
“Let think about it!” Yao Yue was very conflicted inside. She wasn’t greedy for this enormous wealth. It was almost the entire wealth of Luoyang Prefecture. The Lord Mansion had always advocated hiding wealth among the people, but unexpectedly this ti, it was all taken by the Dark Wolf Gang. Such wealth would be astonishing anywhere in the world. Yao Yue very much wanted to return this wealth to the people but feared causing too much division. In the end, it might even weaken the Lord Mansion’s prestige.
Yao Yue was torn for a long ti before ultimately deciding to follow the Assistant’s suggestion. After all, this wealth could make Luoyang Prefecture develop rapidly, and it could also significantly increase the number in her team.
However, kind-hearted Yao Yue couldn’t bear to greedily occupy the wealth of Luoyang Prefecture’s hardworking commoners. Facing a dilemma, Yao Yue ultimately made a relatively rational decision. With this wealth, Luoyang Prefecture could imdiately beco strong and powerful in a short ti.
The carriage slowly headed towards Luoyang Prefecture. Upon arrival, many people had already gathered at the gate of Luoyang Prefecture. People were waiting outside, anticipating the Lord’s return. Soone in Luoyang Prefecture had spread the word that the Lord had gone to suppress bandits. Furthermore, they heard that the Dark Wolf had been captured and was on the way back, so the people voluntarily gathered at the gate, waiting to welco the Lord triumphantly.
“Here they co, here they co!”
“The Lord has returned!”
From a distance, seeing the convoy return, the hundreds of people gathered at the gate erupted in excitent. They cheered enthusiastically, each person unable to contain their excitent as they watched the convoy return.
When the convoy approached the gate, Yao Yue jumped down from the carriage and then said, “My fellow villagers, I have captured the Dark Wolf for you!”
Thud…
The Dark Wolf was thrown down from the truck, struggled up from the ground, and then sneered, “Yao Yue, you captured today. If you have the guts, kill . Otherwise, I’ll co back to seek revenge on you!”
“You have no chance!” Yao Yue sneered coldly, “You acted recklessly and committed many cris. So, you won’t have the opportunity to live!”
“Haha…” Dark Wolf laughed loudly, “Even if you kill , twenty years later, I’ll still be a hero, and I’ll co back to seek revenge on you!”
“My fellow villagers, this villain will be executed by Lingchi at noon tomorrow in the square. Tomorrow at noon, co witness!” Yao Yue raised her arm.
“Execute, execute!!” The crowd shouted.
Then, the crowd allowed the truck to enter the city. News that the Dark Wolf would be executed in the square tomorrow quickly spread through Luoyang Prefecture. Those who gnashed their teeth at Dark Wolf even set off firecrackers at their doorstep, celebrating his capture.
Yao Yue returned to the Lord Mansion and ordered to move all the treasures from dozens of trucks into the mansion’s warehouse. So of these items needed to be returned, but most were to be kept by the Lord Mansion as a fund for future developnt. A small portion of the returns was mainly to win the trust of Luoyang Prefecture’s people.
“Lord, all the valuables have been transferred!” The Assistant imdiately reported.
“Excellent!” Yao Yue nodded, “Take a portion and display it in the square, then let people co to claim it. Also, tell them that most valuables were transferred by the Dark Wolf Gang, so it’s impossible to retrieve them. Tell them the Lord Mansion will compensate them proportionally according to their household inco!”
“Yes!” The Assistant imdiately turned and left.
The next day, tens of thousands of people gathered on the square, almost the entire population of Luoyang Prefecture. They were all gathered in the square, waiting for the mont Dark Wolf would be executed. Each person’s face was filled with anger; their hatred for Dark Wolf had nearly penetrated their bones. They hated Dark Wolf yet were filled with gratitude towards the Lord.
“Execute Dark Wolf, execute Dark Wolf!”
The crowd let out waves of shouts, eager to witness the mont Dark Wolf would be executed imdiately. However, at this ti, Dark Wolf had not yet been brought into the square. A simple stage had already been set up in the square, which could also be described as a platform for Dark Wolf’s execution.
“They’re here, they’re here, Dark Wolf is here!” Sharp-eyed citizens quickly noticed several trucks slowly approaching the square. To prevent escaped mbers of the Dark Wolf Gang from ambushing the prison convoy, Luoyang Prefecture soldiers were stationed on the trucks, and over a thousand warriors were positioned in the square to maintain order. If any trampling incident occurred among the citizens, it would be troubleso.
Executing one Dark Wolf while losing so citizens would not be worthwhile.
Soon, the convoy slowly arrived at the center of the square, and Dark Wolf was taken down. He was then escorted onto the stage, and along the way, the citizens bombarded him with rotten eggs, stones, and all kinds of tattered shoes…
This frustrated the two soldiers escorting Dark Wolf to no end. Why were they so unlucky to be saddled with the task of escorting Dark Wolf? In fact, they knew all along that this was a laborious and unfortunate chore. Early that morning, many comrades refused to escort Dark Wolf, with so finding all kinds of excuses to avoid the task. Ultimately, this difficult task fell upon them.
All the way to the platform, Dark Wolf maintained a proud deanor, showing extre arrogance as he continuously shouted, “Luoyang Prefecture folks, just you wait! In twenty years, I’ll be a hero again, just wait for !”
Whoosh…
Another wave of rotten egg assault ensued, and Dark Wolf could barely keep his mouth shut. The two soldiers also suffered misfortune, enduring wave after wave of the egg assault.
Finally making it onto the platform, Dark Wolf was tied directly to the cross. Yao Yue, wearing long leather boots, walked up on stage. Then, with hands raised high, she shouted, “Folks, quiet!”
Imdiately, the scene fell silent, and everyone ceased their attacks. The whole place beca so quiet you could hear a pin drop, all eyes on Yao Yue on the platform. Yao Yue glanced over the crowd and then loudly declared, “Dark Wolf is guilty!”
“Dark Wolf is guilty!” echoed the assistant nearby.
“Dark Wolf is guilty!” Subsequently, the soldiers from all directions shouted fervently.
“Dark Wolf is guilty!” Finally, tens of thousands of citizens joined in the shout, a sound that shook all of Luoyang Prefecture, scaring the resting birds on the walls of Luoyang Prefecture City into scattering in all directions.
Yao Yue once again raised her arm, and the scene quieted down. Everyone couldn’t help but be awed by the montum just exhibited. Many wanted to roar a few more tis, but Yao Yue had asked for silence, so they had no choice but to calm down.
“Dark Wolf killed the elders of Luoyang Prefecture, dishonored the won of Luoyang Prefecture, and plundered the wealth of Luoyang Prefecture. Damn it, damn it!” Yao Yue shouted angrily.
“Damn it, damn it, damn it!” a frenzy of angry roars erupted from the square.
This scene terrified Dark Wolf. He never imagined the citizens of Luoyang Prefecture could possess such a crazy force. His complexion involuntarily turned pale. If tens of thousands were to co at him, wouldn’t they tear him apart? With that thought, Dark Wolf couldn’t help but shiver with fear.
As Yao Yue gestured, the crowd quieted down again. Suddenly, everyone started liking this feeling. Passion, boiling, madness, recklessness… All sorts of unrestrained words could describe this action. So, everyone was extrely excited.
“If Dark Wolf isn’t killed today, then I would let down those brothers of Luoyang Prefecture who have died; if Dark Wolf isn’t killed, I would let down those defiled girls!” Yao Yue’s eyes flashed with a glimr of anger.
“Kill, kill, kill!” everyone roared thrice.
“Exactly, he must be killed!” Yao Yue nodded and then declared, “Today, I officially announce, Dark Wolf is guilty, heinously guilty. The cri deserves lingchi. Therefore, starting today, execution will last for three consecutive days!”
“Roar, roar, roar…” the crowd roared wildly.
“Guards!” Yao Yue roared in anger.
“Present!” The assistant imdiately stepped forward and saluted Yao Yue.
“Prepare to execute!” Yao Yue commanded.
“Yes!” the assistant nodded imdiately, then turned around to instruct the execution. Two tall and burly soldiers stepped forward. One carried a tray, following behind, and the other carried a dical kit. The two approached Dark Wolf, with the man carrying the tray leading the way. Standing before Dark Wolf, he revealed a cruel smile and said, “Mr. Dark Wolf, in a mont, your screams will be wretched. Hold on, don’t scream like ghosts and wolves!”
