Sentenced to Death by Lingchi 34: Chapter 34: Accumulation of Crimes and Punishments, to be Sentenced to Death by Lingchi “If we both die, can we really trust him to take care of Yue Xi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face of Mei Xiaofang was full of pain and indecision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhenglong remained silent, knowing that Su Xuefeng and Su Zhengtao would definitely come to deal with the killing of the house servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original intent was to unleash all his power to fight to the death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very likely that he would die, and Mei Xiaofang would not survive alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they both died, could Sikong Jing truly be trusted, would he really take care of their daughter for a lifetime?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s watch and see later,” Su Zhenglong finally sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom, boom…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at that moment, heavy footsteps came from outside the courtyard, followed by an old but fierce shout, “Surround it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the voice sounded, Su Yuexi’s courtyard was instantly surrounded by the elite experts of the Su Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the Family Head Su Xuefeng and Su Zhengtao stepped into the courtyard with large strides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions were extremely gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, they were followed by Su Yun, whose face was slap-marked red, but who wore a cold and hideous smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was her report that had prompted Su Xuefeng and the others to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they were determined to completely obliterate Su Zhenglong’s family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Su Yuexi who was still in the courtyard immediately left Sikong Jing’s embrace and looked towards the grandfather she both feared and hated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Su Yuexi still lowered her head and called out, “Grandfather.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuefeng completely ignored her and shouted towards the depths of the courtyard, “Su Zhenglong, come out to me right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Su Zhenglong, with Mei Xiaofang’s support, shakily walked out, his face pale as he said, “Father, forgive me for my frail health, which prevents me from giving proper greetings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuefeng snorted coldly and then said, “I have no need for greetings from an unfilial son like you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked icy, not treating Su Zhenglong as his son at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Su Xuefeng cut straight to the chase and said, “Zhengtao, you are the Hall Master of the Su Family Law Enforcement Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, in the presence of your older brother, announce the punishment decision for the criminal Sikong Jing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, Su Yuexi’s face changed, and she cried out, “Grandfather…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up, I have no granddaughter as ugly as you,” Su Xuefeng barked sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a vicious smile on his face, Su Zhengtao loudly stepped forward and declared, “Sikong Jing, as a son-in-law of the Su Family, murdered dozens of house servants in cold blood, he must be executed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Su Yuexi’s body trembled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to rush out and say something, but her hand was suddenly held, still by the large hand of Sikong Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Su Yuexi was filled with confusion and fear, Sikong Jing pulled her behind him and asked with a sneer, “Don’t you first want to ask why I had to kill those house servants?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question made Su Zhengtao laugh and reply, “The situation is very clear, it’s because you refused to pay them their wages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the servants demanded their wages, you brutally murdered them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Mei Xiaofang became so angry she wanted to rush out and argue with Su Zhengtao, but she was held back by Su Zhenglong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone intent on prosecution, doesn’t any pretext suffice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No amount of explanation would make a difference now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better to watch and see how Sikong Jing would respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing shrugged his shoulders and asked again, “Then why don’t you ask why we had no wages to give out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew that it was Su Zhenglong who had raised the Su Family from a second-rate family and had made them one of the Four Great Families of Yunye City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without any blood relation, it was only natural for Su Xuefeng to take in Su Zhenglong’s family, who were seriously injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Su Zhenglong was his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question instantly made Su Xuefeng uncomfortable as he coldly said, “A fine criminal you are, indeed eloquent in speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But do you really think your crime is limited to just this one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhengtao, continue,” Su Xuefeng ordered sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a fierce expression, Su Zhengtao announced further, “The criminals Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi caused a ruckus at Hengyu Pawnshop to repay their debts, injuring the Hengyu Manager among more than a dozen people, and even robbed them of a hundred Gold Crystal Coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sikong Jing shall be executed, and Su Yuexi, for tarnishing the Su Family’s reputation, shall receive a hundred strokes of the cane!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Zhengtao made his announcement, Mei Xiaofang’s expression changed yet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to help herself, she turned to Sikong Jing and asked, “The Gold Crystal Coins on you, were they stolen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too much had happened before, and she hadn’t realized how Sikong Jing could have had so many Gold Crystal Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never did she expect they were robbed from the Hengyu Pawnshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not true, Mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the pawnshop owner who broke the contract first,” Su Yuexi rushed to explain, making the situation clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Mei Xiaofang could speak, Su Zhengtao interrupted fiercely, “Making excuses, bring the Hengyu Manager up here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, the Hengyu Manager, who had been knocked out by Sikong Jing the day before, emerged with a cold sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After regaining consciousness, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he ran to the Su Family to argue his case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome was very smooth, Su Xuefeng believed his words without hesitation, and even said he would bring him as a witness, to severely punish his criminal son-in-law and his hideously ugly granddaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he appeared, the Hengyu Manager said, “When did I ever breach the contract?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s clearly because you didn’t have the money to redeem the Jade hairpin, so you robbed it right there and then, and also took a whole hundred Gold Crystal Coins from me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the Shopkeeper suddenly noticed that Su Yuexi was actually holding that Jade hairpin in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was slightly confused about how she managed to buy it back, but this suited his plans perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pointing directly, he said, “Old Master Su, look, what your hideously ugly granddaughter has in her hand is the very Jade hairpin that was originally pawned to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Mei Xiaofang also noticed the existence of the Jade hairpin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mouth agape, she couldn’t understand if what the Shopkeeper said was true or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Hengyu Manager sneered secretly; if Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi couldn’t have bought back the Jade hairpin, it would have been somewhat troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that they had the Jade hairpin in hand, framing them was, of course, much more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not how it is at all,” Su Yuexi said, both angry and anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Hengyu Manager was twisting the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Su Xuefeng roared in fury, “Utterly disgraceful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Su Zhengtao shouted again, “Sikong Jing has audaciously broken out of the city with his criminal status, causing serious negative impacts on the Su Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shall be executed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care for Su Yuexi’s defense; he hurled out another accusation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Murdering house servants, stealing hairpins and money, forcibly breaking out of the city, multiple crimes shall be punished together by death by dismemberment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Announcing this with another stern declaration, Su Zhengtao’s eyes filled with a crazed hatred, intent on destroying and tormenting Sikong Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His second son, Su Yang, still hadn’t recovered and it was uncertain if he ever would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, a direct challenge had failed to impute any crime, but there were plenty of ways to kill Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not true, it really isn’t like that,” Su Yuexi protested as she kept retreating, tears streaming down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She absolutely couldn’t let Sikong Jing suffer such a grave injustice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked sharply at Su Zhenglong, “Father, it’s not like they say it is at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhenglong glared at Su Xuefeng and others, his fists clenched tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he wanted to observe Sikong Jing, as he truly didn’t know if this criminal was trustworthy or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing his daughter in such pain, Su Zhenglong’s heart softened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a second thought, and taking a decisive step forward, Su Zhenglong bellowed, “It’s all false, Su Zhengtao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before you try to punish my daughter and son-in-law, ask whether I agree to it first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, his True Qi suddenly surged into the Human Realm, his gaze still firmly fixed on Su Xuefeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was ready to fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it meant father and son would be at each other’s throats, he was prepared to make that sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>",1503,"2026-06-06T08:51:41.865Z",1,"novelbin.me","f6396b31f30f2d95293f19e3f5ad422e190bcd2fd3a9f968a0deb78f2a6b7dc4","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-35","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-33",1881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fberserk-god-of-war-cover.jpg"]
