He had not returned until now. Fortunately, he would call her every two days. Otherwise, she would be worried about him again.
She looked at the sky and realized that it was the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
He had not contacted her for two days. Even if he did not return tonight, he would at least contact her through the directed audio spell.
She returned to her room first. She did not meditate because she was worried that Di Fuyi would call her. She did not want to be interrupted during meditation, which would not be good for her practice.
She did not expect that the directed audio spell to contact Di Fuyi would not light up even though she had waited for the whole night.
During this period of time, she tried to contact him through the directed audio spell, but it did not go through. Di Fuyi must have turned off the spell. Every time he turned it off, it was when he went to a dangerous place to do something. He needed to be absolutely focused and could not afford to be distracted.
Therefore, Gu Xijiu rarely took the initiative to contact him. She was afraid that she would disturb him.
In the letter that Di Fuyi left for her, he mentioned that the Tianmo Jade that was placed in Tianju Hall was not simple. It did not seem to be something that belonged to this world, and it did not seem to be something that Long Fan could make. There might be someone else behind it. Di Fuyi went out to investigate this matter.
Di Fuyi was secretly investigating this matter. Except for Gu Xijiu, no one else knew about it. To prevent the information from being leaked, Di Fuyi did not tell her about the progress of the investigation. He only told her not to worry and not to worry.
He seemed to be in a hurry. Every time he talked to her, he only said a few words. He did not even say a word of love. He only wanted to let both of them know that the other was safe.
Gu Xijiu waited for the whole night, but she did not receive a message from Di Fuyi. Instead, she received a message from Baili Ce. Baili Ce sounded anxious. "Xijiu, bad news! The emperor of the Feixing Kingdom has arrested your entire family for rebellion. They are now in prison. They will publicly execute you two days later! "
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
Her first reaction was that Rong Jialuo was crazy!
…
In fact, Gu Xijiu was not the only one who thought that Rong Jialuo was crazy. Even the people of the Feixing Kingdom thought that the emperor was crazy!
Although Gu Xietian's relationship with his wife was a little cold, he was indeed a brave general that was hard to come by. All these years, he had fought many battles for the Feixing Kingdom and made countless contributions. In the hearts of the people, he was almost comparable to Yue Fei from the Song Dynasty!
Although he was not a member of the Crown Prince's faction, he later protected Rong Jialuo because of his daughter. After Rong Jialuo ascended the throne, he was still loyal to the new emperor and fulfilled his duty as a minister.
However, in the past two years, he was probably dissatisfied with Rong Jialuo's warmongering. He used his health as an excuse to retire and return to the fields. He handed over his military power and became a Minister Counsellor who did not care about worldly affairs. However, in the eyes of the people, he was still a great hero.
Who would have thought that such a hero would actually commit the crime of rebellion. His family was exterminated, and he was even sentenced to the most inhumane death by a thousand cuts!
His whole family was sentenced to death!
Even his two married daughters and their in-laws were no exception …
The Gu Family was not small. Including the servants in the mansion, there were more than three hundred people, including children who were not yet three years old.
The Gu family was not a small family. Including the servants, there were more than 300 people, including children who were not even three years old.
First, a group of soldiers led the way, followed by a row of wooden prison wagons. These prison wagons were specially made to lock the prisoners inside, with only their heads peeking out.
Because there were too many people to be executed, seven or eight people were squeezed into the prison cart that was supposed to hold one person. They were all squeezed together like sardines in a can, and they were all wearing heavy shackles. Even the six or seven-year-old children were no exception …
Gu Xietian was in a carriage alone. The shackles on his body were also specially made. Not only were they unusually heavy, but there were steel nails in the holes that locked his wrists and ankles. The steel nails pierced deeply into his wrists and ankles, so he could not move at all in the carriage.
The gazes of countless commoners landed on him. They saw that this once majestic general was now in such dire straits that he looked like a beggar. His hair was white and draped messily over his shoulders. He must have been tortured in other ways. His once majestic face was now bruised and swollen, and his body was stained with blood …
In the Feixing Kingdom, only those who had committed the most heinous crimes would be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts. Those people were hated by the common people. Hence, when these people's prison carriages were moving slowly on the streets, the common people would throw stones, rotten eggs, and rotten vegetables at the prison carriages to show their disdain and anger.
This time, Gu Xietian had committed the crime of betraying the country. Logically speaking, this crime was also hated by the people. It was also the most common crime that people would throw rotten eggs at.
However, at this moment, when these carriages were moving slowly on the street, the people seemed to have lost their voices. They looked at the carriages in silence. When they saw the miserable state of the prisoners in the carriages, their eyes flashed with anger …
No one believed that Gu Xietian would betray the country. However, now that Celestial Master Zuo was in power, his violent and oppressive methods made the people not dare to talk or speak up. They could only clench their fists in their sleeves!
From time to time, a eunuch who was leading the way would shout, "Gu Xietian, who betrayed the country, deserves to die!"
His voice was sharp and long, and it echoed on the street.
Usually, rotten eggs and vegetables would fly at the same time when this voice was heard. However, this time, the eunuch had shouted many times. The people on both sides of the street were like wooden blocks, and no one came forward …
When they passed by a restaurant, there were a few people who were paid by the imperial court to pretend to be the people. They threw a few rotten eggs at Gu Xietian's face. However, they attracted angry glares from the people around them … This made the few people feel a little embarrassed.
The execution ground was set up in a huge square that could accommodate thousands of people.
In order to prevent people from robbing the execution ground, the square was temporarily sealed off. There were only four doors on all four sides. Although the people could enter through the doors, they would have to check their identity and be searched. They were not allowed to bring any weapons with them.
The four sides were surrounded by iron walls, and the doors were extremely thick. Once someone tried to rob the execution ground, once the doors were closed, the people who tried to rob the execution ground could only be captured inside. They could not run away even if they wanted to.
The prison wagons slowly entered the square, and the people followed them.
There was a huge platform in the square, and there were hundreds of iron pillars on the platform. More than three hundred prisoners were dragged out of the wagons one by one. Some were forced to kneel on the platform, and some were tied to the iron pillars, waiting to be executed …
Due to the large number of people, not only were there not enough executioners, but there were also not enough iron pillars. Therefore, they had to be divided into three groups for the execution.
When the first group of people were tied to the pillars, the other two groups had to kneel around and watch the execution …
Perhaps to teach Gu Xietian a lesson, he and his two daughters were arranged to be in the last group. They had to watch the rest of their relatives being executed first …
It was undoubtedly a great torture. Gu Xietian was forced to kneel there. His eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were filled with grief and despair.
The first group of people to be tied to the pillars were the relatives of the Gu family, including Gu Xietian's three grandsons. The oldest of the three children was only five years old, and the youngest was only three years old. Although they did not know what it meant to be executed, it was still very painful for them to be tied to the pillars. They kept crying … Their cries were so sad that it made everyone's heart skip a beat!
"Celestial Master Zuo has arrived! The wife of The Lord has arrived! "A long and loud voice came from afar.
…
