Xu Lie did not waste any time teasing the crowd; he immediately stood up and pressed his palm downwards. The previously noisy townsfolk fell silent in unison.
In the hearts of the people of Xia City, Xu Lie's prestige was extremely high, nearly reaching the level of a revered figure. This reputation caused the officials from Jiangnan to marvel secretly at how much the Second Prince had won the people's hearts! It seemed that this ship had indeed set sail in the right direction!
In an instant, the bustling Execution Ground became eerily quiet. Xu Lie's voice boomed like thunder, carrying far and wide: "Criminal Zhao Jue! You have harbored pirates and attacked the coasts, committing heinous crimes. As you stand on the brink of death, what else do you have to say?!"
Zhao Jue recalled how, during this time, the Second Prince had sent people to deliver messages confirming everything. Gathering all his remaining strength, he forced himself to shout with vigor at the officials from Jiangnan and the townsfolk of Xia City: "Search for it! I have amassed millions of taels of gold over more than a decade at sea! I’ve hidden it all at the end of the ocean! Do you want it?! If you want it, go find it at sea!"
Zhao Jue's condition was truly poor; even if he exerted all his energy to shout with all his might, only those relatively close among the Jiangnan officials and townsfolk 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! Have hoarded millions of taels of gold over more than a decade?! Hidden at the end of the ocean?! If you want it, go find it?!"
A Gang's voice roared like a tiger in the mountains, especially as this shout was infused with Internal Energy. Such an eruption echoed across the silent Execution Ground, igniting a frenzy among the crowd and stirring their greed!
The spectators outside the Script World could hardly contain themselves.
"Wow! I can't believe this! This plot feels familiar—are we watching Cang Hai Jue or One Piece?!"
"This is outrageous; which screenwriter has such a wild imagination to come up with this storyline?"
"Just based on the eye contact between Zhao Jue and Xu Lie, I can guarantee this is Xu Lie's idea—perhaps to incite the townsfolk to actively venture out to sea!"
"Tsk tsk, that's cunning—truly cunning."
The barrage of comments was unprecedentedly dense; Xu Lie didn't even bother adjusting its intensity because chaos erupted around him. Regardless of whether they were Jiangnan officials or common townsfolk, everyone was left reeling from this explosive news.
A letter from Shangjing indeed stated that when they raided Zhao Jue's residence, they found very little in terms of valuables!
Are you saying this is 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 and urge the shipyard to finish our new ship as quickly as possible! We must be the first to set out to sea! Ten million taels! Gold!
From utter stillness to frenzied activity, in an instant, the entire Execution Ground erupted like a stage performance, resembling a duck farm at midnight suddenly bombarded with firecrackers.
The cacophony was so overwhelming it made ears tingle and eardrums throb. Some people had already turned to leave, preparing to gather their things and set sail immediately.
Watch 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 grow restless, Xu Lie simply waved his hand. A Gang received the order and kicked Zhao Jue down, swiftly separating head from body.
Those who had come from Jiangnan to witness the execution, along with the common folk, ignored him entirely, as if he never existed at all.
