C126 You Deserve to Die a Thousand Deaths

This time, when Lu Qingfeng returned to Navy Tide City, not only did he become the side king, he even brought back a huge amount of wealth for the Lu family. Because of this, the entire Lu family was immersed in extreme joy.

The Lu Family's family banquet this time lasted for an entire day. Every member of the Lu Family looked at Lu Qingfeng with eyes full of admiration and admiration.

During the family's banquet, because he had to take care of a lot of guests, Lu Qingfeng spoke even less with the people closest to him. Lu Qianhao was slightly better. As a father, he understood Lu Qingfeng very well.

Nangong Xin Yan was different, if it was any other mother, after seeing her son for so many years, she would want to pull him down and have something to say.

However, Nangong Xinyan understood that the current Lu Qingfeng was not only her son, but also the image of the Lu family.

When the banquet was finally over, Nangong Xin Yan hurriedly returned to her room. As the saying went: a child who knows must not be a mother. Lu Qingfeng will be here soon

Sure enough, after following Nangong Xinyan back to his yard, Lu Qingfeng immediately pushed open the door and entered the yard.

"Son, come over quickly and let mom take a good look at you. It's been so many years since you've been away from home, do you know how much mother has missed you?"

Nangong Xin Yan said as she told Lu Qingfeng to go over. Actually, she quickly ran over to Lu Qingfeng and grabbed his arms, carefully sizing up her son that she hadn't seen for many years.

"Son, you're thinner and darker than before. You're taller than before, and now you look like an adult."

Nangong Xin Yan's eyes were filled with tears, but her face was smiling. This was the tears of joy from a mother seeing her son, and the tears of joy from seeing her son finally grow up.

Mother, Qing Feng has grown up. The Lu family will no longer be relying on others, and tomorrow, the Li family and the Wang family will be under public trial. His son, Shoulder King, still has many matters to take care of. When Lu Qingfeng said this, his face was full of guilt.

"Alright, mother understands. As long as you get close enough to see my son, you'll be satisfied."

As a mother, Nangong Xin Yan's standards were not high. As long as she was alone with her son for a little while, her heart would be satisfied.

After bidding farewell to his mother, Lu Qingfeng returned to his own courtyard. He thought of that rusted sword, the rusted sword passed down in his family.

That sword was still in Han Chengzi's storage ring. It had been so long that he had almost forgotten about this sword. If it wasn't because he returned to his clan this time, he might not have remembered it.

Lu Qingfeng believed that since this was a family heirloom treasure, there must be something special about it. Even now, he still did not know how precious this rusted sword was.

When he thought of this, he could not help but take out the rusted sword and examine it. The sword was still mottled with rust, and there was nothing special about it. He casually waved it around but there was no reaction.

Lu Qingfeng had tried to remove the rust on the sword before, but no matter what he did, the rust still stuck firmly to the sword and did not show any signs of falling off. Looking at the sword, Lu Qingfeng could not understand it at all.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, his mind gradually became empty and he quickly entered a state of cultivation. Even if he only had one night, he didn't want to waste it.

A night's time passed in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes from his cultivation and tidied himself up cleanly. He then turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Today was the day of the judgement trial of the Li family. Everyone in the Lu family woke up early, and this was something that everyone in the family had been looking forward to for a long time. These past few years, the Lu family and Gongsun family had been completely suppressed by the Li family.

The mood of the people of the Lu family was easy to understand. After all these years, the enemy that was suppressing him was about to be righted. If it was anyone else, it would be difficult for them to calm down.

The Lu Family members were also in a similar situation. Normally, they would spend half an hour to eat sooner or later, but this time, in less than ten minutes, they hastily finished eating.

Some people didn't even bother to rinse their mouth. They were still chewing on their food as they ran out of the house, afraid that they wouldn't be able to get a good seat. As a result, they couldn't see their beheaded bodies up close.

In less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, all the members of the Lu family were gathered together. Lu Qingfeng's grandfather, Lu Wannian, personally led the team and majestically drove towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Today was a special day, and all the shops were closed. On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, from time to time, one could see the shops on both sides of the road. Some of them even had seals affixed to them.

On both sides of the main street, people's footsteps were hurried. Everyone's path was shockingly consistent as they walked towards the plaza in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, Lu Qingfeng arrived at the plaza and walked directly towards the City Lord's Mansion. In front of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a huge stage, with two ladders leading directly to the stage. Not far in front of the stage, there was a stage full of wooden cross racks.

The high platform in front of the Mayor's mansion was lined up in a row. Dozens of chairs were placed, and a table was placed in front of them.

When Lu Qingfeng arrived, Nan Rong Song was already waiting by the ladder. When he saw Lu Qingfeng, he hurriedly went up to him and respectfully greeted him: "Your Highness, please!" After saying that, he moved to the side.

Lu Qingfeng nodded and stepped onto the stairs. His feet were light and steady, followed by Nan Rong Song and more than a dozen officials of the City Lord's Mansion.

Lu Qingfeng sat in the middle of the stage, while the other officials of the City Lord's Mansion sat on either side. Lu Qianhao and the others were not allowed to come onto the stage for this kind of occasion, as it was an official assembly.

Lu Qingfeng looked down and saw that the entire square was packed with people, several million of them. On the opposite side of the high platform, there were many soldiers standing guard.

Looking at the auspicious hour, Lu Qingfeng nodded to Nan Rong Song. Nan Rong Song understood what he meant, stood up, and said to the sound transmission microphone in front of him, "The First Prince of the Southern Rong Empire, Nan Rong Yan, attempted to usurp the throne by murdering others, and is now on death's door. According to the rules of the Southern Rong Empire, you are part of the Nine Clans, Li Lirin, as Nan Rong's mother's uncle, you are in the same group as Nan Rong Yan.

Lu Qingfeng stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "This King declares that the entire Li Clan of the Southern Rong Empire will be exterminated, and Patriarch Li Lirin will be sentenced to death at a later time. All property will be returned to the Empire, and after the end of the Trial, the Divine Continent Auction House will be entrusted to auction it away. All citizens of Navy Tide City are allowed to participate in the bidding."

Lu Qingfeng sat back down after he finished speaking. Nan Rongsong continued, "The Wang family, in the midst of all the crimes committed by the Li family, played a part in helping the culprit and adding fuel to the fire, Patriarch Wang Hai and Patriarch Li Lirin colluded many times, harming innocent civilians and causing the deaths of many families in Navy Tide City.

Lu Qingfeng stood up and said, "The Patriarch of the Wang Clan, Wang Hai, and all the disciples of the direct branch have made a decision. The disciples of the other branches are assigned to the Imperial Mine, are to become slaves for life, and all their property is to be confiscated. Together with the property of the Li Clan, they are to entrust the Divine Continent Auction House with the auction.

Nan Rongsong respectfully replied, "This humble subject understands." Then he turned around and shouted: "Where is the executioner?"

In the Nan Rong Empire, whenever there was a mixed type of execution, like the one between Ling Chi and Zhan Jiuding, Ling Chi would be the first to be executed. Thus, after Nan Rong Song shouted his name, a golden executioner, specially drawn from the capital, stood up.

The executioner was different from the other executioners. He held a cow-eared knife in his hand, with an assistant following him.

"Lu Qingfeng, I refuse to accept this. Why is it that everyone else has already made their decision? Why is it that you're the 'Ling Chi' here? You're too vicious."

As soon as the executioner in charge of Lingchi took out his cow-eared knife, Li Lirin immediately cried out. Li Lirin knew the terror of Lingchi's death, and he wanted to fight for his dignity.

"Why? Because you are full of evil, because you are full of evil, because you are unforgivable, because you deserve to die a thousand times, is that enough? "

Lu Qingfeng coldly looked at Li Lirin. This tyrant who had dominated Navy Tide City for several decades, coldly spoke to him as he listened to Li Liren's fierce internal shouting.

"Execute the punishment!"

No longer paying any attention to Li Lirin, Lu Qingfeng directly gave the order to the executioner and walked off the stage with a flick of his sleeves. He wasn't willing to personally watch him kill such a person.

The vicious Li Lirin finally got what he deserved. Nearly a million people in the audience were cheering and cheering, and many people were even loudly shouting their thanks to Lu Qingfeng for eliminating evil for the people. The rest of the Li Lirin family members were beheaded.

Finally, Wang Huairen and his direct descendants were beheaded one by one. The remaining branch family members were escorted by the army to various mines under the empire as slaves.

After the end of the Great Trial, the entire Navy Tide City was filled with firecrackers. The crowd spontaneously organized themselves and started dancing merrily on the streets. On this day, the degree of joy from everyone in the city far surpassed any previous festivals.

From this day onwards, everyone would be able to live their own lives and no longer have to tremble in fear like before. A young girl dares to walk on the streets. She no longer has to worry about being captured by the young masters of the Li family.

On this day, everyone's face was covered in smiles, especially those elderly people. They were gratified and joyful, and the wrinkles on their faces loosened up a lot.

Everyone felt as if they had received a new lease of life. This was the day when the people of Navy Tide City truly gained liberation, and people spontaneously designated this day as their anniversary of liberation. From now on, every year, the entire city would walk on the streets and sing and dance, lighting firecrackers to celebrate.

The auction went on for an entire day and night before ending. The gold from the auctions were sent to the City Lord's Mansion, guarded by elite soldiers, ready to be sent to the capital on a certain day.

Soon enough, all the shops with banners on the street were opened and the business started again. Many smiling faces stood in front of the shops, these people used to live at the bottom of society and had their own shops, this was something they did not even dare to think about before.

On this day, all the kind people in Navy Tide City silently wished one person in their hearts. His name was Lu Qingfeng.
