Xu Lie did not waste any time or keep people in suspense; he immediately stood up and pressed his palm downwards. The previously murmuring crowd fell silent in unison. In the hearts of the people of Xia Cheng, Xu Lie held great prestige, nearly reaching the status of a living Buddha. This level of respect made the various factions in Jiangnan secretly marvel at how much the Prince had won the hearts of the people!
It seemed they had chosen the right ship! The Execution Ground, which had been bustling with noise just a moment ago, suddenly fell into silence as Xu Lie's voice boomed like thunder, echoing from afar: "Criminal Zhao Jue! You have nurtured pirates and attacked the coast, committing heinous crimes. With death at your doorstep, what else do you have to say?!"
Zhao Jue recalled the documents sent by the Prince during this time, confirming their accuracy. Gathering all his remaining strength, he forced himself to shout out loud to the people of Jiangnan and Xia Cheng: "Go find it! The Ten Million Taels of Gold I have earned from my years at sea! I have hidden it all at the end of the ocean! Do you want it?! If you want it, then go out to sea and find it!"
Zhao Jue's condition was truly poor; even though he exerted all his effort to shout with all his might, only those relatively close among the Jiangnan factions and common folk could hear him. Anticipating such a situation, Xu Lie had instructed A Gang in advance. A Gang immediately pretended to be shocked: "What!! You, Minister of Revenue Zhao Jue! Ten Million Taels of Gold hidden at the end of the ocean?! You want us to go out to sea and find it?!"
A Gang's voice was like a tiger roaring in the mountains, especially as this shout was infused with Internal Energy. Such an eruption reverberated across the quiet Execution Ground, igniting the crowd and stirring their greed deep within! It also caused viewers outside the Script World to lose control.
"Wow! I can’t believe it! This plot feels so familiar; is this Cang Hai Jue or One Piece?!"
"Unbelievable! Which screenwriter has such a wild imagination to come up with this kind of storyline?"
"I bet that look exchanged between Zhao Jue and Xu Lie is Xu Lie's intention; perhaps it's meant to encourage the people to actively go out to sea!"
"Tsk tsk, that's really cunning."
The barrage of comments was unprecedentedly dense; Xu Lie had no time to adjust its intensity as chaos erupted around him. Regardless of whether they were from Jiangnan or common folk, everyone was struck senseless by this news.
It was indeed mentioned in the letter from Shangjing that when they raided Zhao Jue's residence, not much wealth was seized.
Is what you’re saying true?! Ten million taels?! Gold?! My heavens, how much is that? That’s enough to build a palace made entirely of gold, isn’t it?!
Set sail, my son! Hurry to the shipyard and get our new ship built as quickly as possible! We must be the first to set out to sea! Ten million taels! Gold!
In an instant, the Execution Ground erupted into chaos, resembling a duck farm at night suddenly bombarded with firecrackers. The cacophony was so overwhelming that it made people's ears tingle and their eardrums throb.
Some had already turned to leave, preparing to gather their things and set out to sea immediately. Observing the execution? What nonsense!
Delaying their search for gold—can watching an execution make up for that? It cannot! Even if they watched ten or a hundred executions, it wouldn’t compare to even a single tael of gold, let alone ten million!
Seeing the crowd's agitation, Xu Lie simply waved his hand. A Gang kicked Zhao Jue down, and with a swift motion, he severed his head from his body.
The people from Jiangnan who had come to witness the execution treated Zhao Jue as if he were nonexistent, completely ignoring him.
