A head fell to the ground, blood splattering the public trial platform.
The commoners stared at the severed head of Zhu Gui, initially silent, for they could scarcely believe that Chen Mo had truly ordered Zhu Gui to be beheaded. Once they confirmed it was real, they erupted into cheers.
Some were so overwhelmed with emotion that they kneeled on the ground, repeatedly bowing their heads and crying: "My son, you can finally rest in peace. Duke An has avenged you, Zhu Gui is dead."
"Mother..."
"Thank you, Duke An, you are my greatest benefactor."
"Justice."
Below the public trial platform, all the commoners kneeled down, bowing to Chen Mo.
From a distant high building, Yue Ruyan and Xiao Yunxi watched the scene, their expressions filled with shock, which gradually turned to a deep red. In their eyes as they gazed at Chen Mo, strands of admiration and adoration began to appear.
After Zhu Gui was beheaded, next was his son.
He had also committed no small number of evil deeds.
