Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chapter 154 Capital Punishment

The horse slowly stopped beside Chu Qianyu. She threw Mo Yinan onto the horse first, then climbed onto the horse, took out the mask and put it on, then rode the horse quickly towards the city.

By noon, it was already bright. She then arrived at the city gate and took the lead in walking towards the Regent's Palace. When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Chu Qianyu dismounted and picked up Mo Yinan. Seeing this, the servant at the door quickly stepped forward.

Throwing Mo Yinan directly onto the servant, Chu Qianyu quickly mounted his horse and headed out of the city again.

There were several elders waiting for her in Fuguang Tower.

It took only half an hour to reach Fuguang Tower, and Chu Qianyu went straight to the back mountain.

When they arrived at Qinglan Pavilion, the three elders and several hall masters had already gotten up early and had just finished their breakfast and were practicing martial arts in the courtyard. They saw the clan leader walk in.

Several people stopped what they were doing and saluted towards the clan leader.

Chu Qianyu looked at them and said, "Thank you for your hard work last night. Now I have investigated clearly that the accidental deaths of my father and others were all planned by the Fourth Elder. I would like to trouble you to help bear witness. I will take the Fourth Elder back to Situ Mansion to announce his crime, and then the head of the Law Enforcement Hall will execute the punishment."

"Everything is up to the clan leader."

"Okay, in that case, let's go back to Situ Mansion first." Chu Qianyu said to Nan Xu who was standing beside him, "Go and bring out the fourth elder, and follow me back to the mansion."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

The group hurried along the way, and after arriving at Situ Mansion, Chu Qianyu ordered people to tie the four elders to the pillars in the square of Situ Mansion.

Notify everyone in Situ Mansion to gather.

In just a quarter of an hour, the square was already full of people.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Chu Qianyu walked to the center of the square and used his inner strength to speak loudly, "I have found out today that the Second Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Fifth Elder were involved in the murder of the former clan leader. The Fourth Elder was the mastermind. I am here to inform everyone of this."

"I believe everyone knows that internal fighting is prohibited within the clan. If someone's life is harmed, what punishment should be given? In particular, the Fourth Elder's behavior this time was extremely bad. He harmed his fellow brothers. So next, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall will announce how to punish the Fourth Elder. I hope everyone will take this as a warning."

Chu Qianyu's voice permeated the ears of everyone in the square.

No matter how horrified they were, no one was talking about it. They were all staring at the clan leader and the head of the law enforcement hall standing above them.

But when the people from the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder's lineage heard the news, some were happy while others were worried.

The head of the Law Enforcement Hall nodded to the clan leader, then stepped forward and said, "If someone is injured in a clan fight, the lesser punishment is a 100-lash punishment, and the more serious punishment is expulsion from the Situ clan. However, as the clan leader said, the behavior of the Fourth Elder was extremely bad, resulting in the death of four people from the previous clan leader's lineage. It is a great sin to destabilize the foundation of the Situ clan."

"After discussion among us, all members of the Fourth Elder's lineage will move out of the Situ Mansion from today. From now on, there will be no Fourth Elder's lineage in the Situ Mansion. As for the Fourth Elder, he will be executed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the place where the four elders' lineage was located was in an uproar and there was a lot of noise.

"Why should we be punished together with the Fourth Elder when he committed a crime? This is not fair!"

"Yes! It's not fair!"

"We didn't fight among ourselves, nor did we harm the previous clan leader, so why do you want to involve us?"

Without waiting for Chu Qianyu to speak, Nan Xu and Huai Ce walked directly towards the people who had just spoken, took out their swords, put them on their necks and said in a cold voice: "Say another word! Die!"

Suddenly it became quiet again.

Chu Qianyu then stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "I have long thought that you would be dissatisfied with this punishment. But I am soft-hearted to spare your lives now. Who among you dares to say that you are not aware of what the Fourth Elder did? If you still have resentment, stand up and tell me now!"

After saying this, he glanced coldly at the location of the fourth elder's lineage.

No one dared to speak up, especially the children and wives of the Fourth Elder, who lowered their heads and dared not say a word. Not to mention the disciples below.

Chu Qianyu looked at the people who had just spoken and asked, "Why are you silent?"

Several people unconsciously lowered their heads even lower.

"Humph!" Chu Qianyu snorted coldly and continued, "In that case, there is nothing for you to do here. Go and move your things immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the people who had spoken just now running faster than anyone else. They disappeared in a flash.

After they left, everything became completely quiet. Chu Qianyu said to the Third Elder and several Hall Masters, "You guys handle the rest. I have something important to do, so I'll leave first."

After he finished speaking, he left and walked towards his own courtyard. After arriving at the study, Chu Qianyu took out a booklet from behind the shelf and handed it to Huai Ce, saying, "Take some people with you and secretly arrest all the people in this booklet and lock them up in Xuanyue Gate. Then inform Leng Qingzhou that all the people have been sent there. Let him handle it."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Huai Ce agreed and walked out quickly.

After Huai Ce left, he immediately instructed Nan Xu: "In a few days, I will marry the Regent in my current capacity. In the future, when you come to the Regent's Mansion to pass on a message, you can come in the capacity of Xuan Yue Sect."

"My subordinates know."

Chu Qianyu also instructed some matters that needed to be paid attention to in the next few days. Then he went to the bedroom to change clothes, left the Situ Mansion, and headed towards the General's Mansion.

After all the hassles and delays, it was already noon when they returned. Shuang Ning was still resting in the guise of Chu Qianyu, using the excuse that the toxins from the previous visit to the palace had not been completely cleared, so she needed to rest well.

Fortunately, Yunying and Chu Jun were busy preparing for the wedding these two days and did not doubt her.

After Chu Qianyu returned to the dormitory, the two of them quickly changed their clothes and got ready. She then called someone in to wash up.

After everything was ready, she stood up and walked towards Chu Jun's Linfengju. Yunying had been staying here for the past few days. One reason was that she needed to take care of Chu Jun's body, and the other was that the estrangement between them was gradually eliminated, so their feelings were gradually recovering.

When Chu Qianyu arrived at the courtyard, the servants had just prepared lunch. Seeing her walk in, Yunying stood up and asked with concern: "Qianqian, how are you? Your father and I have been busy these two days. When I went to see you, someone in your courtyard said you were asleep, so we didn't disturb you."

Chu Qianyu stepped forward and bowed slightly to the two of them before she slowly spoke: "Father, Mother, I'm sorry to have made you worry about your daughter. After two days of rest, I feel like I'm almost back to normal."

"You're talking nonsense." Yunying said angrily. She didn't see clearly because she was far away. Now that she got closer, she found that her eyes were dark blue, her lips were pale, and her face was very haggard. She didn't look fine at all.

Chu Qianyu then realized that she had not slept the whole night and was busy non-stop. She even used powder to cover it up just now, but she didn't expect that her mother still saw it.

Suddenly, he felt guilty, lowered his head and spoke in a lower voice: "Mom, I'm fine. I just didn't get enough rest last night. Let's eat quickly so that I can go back and rest early after dinner."

After saying that, he raised his head, smiled, and took Yunying's arm and sat down together.

Yunying sighed, still looking a little worried as she said, "I really can't do anything about you. After dinner, I'll send someone to get a doctor to check on you. You're getting married soon and this won't do."
