Chapter 156 - 100 Autumn Execution, Old Friend
During the days when Xu Qing was not at the funeral shop, aside from visits from Prince Zhu, Wang Lingyuan from the Patrol Office also came by once, bringing along a few river fresh fish.
During the months of June to August in Linhe, fishermen busily prepare for their fishing endeavors at the port, and if it is in the months of September to November, the port becomes even livelier.
This period is the golden season for the rapid growth of fish, and their meat is even more delicious.
Xu Qing asked Xuan Yu, "Has Senior Brother Wang mentioned anything about the embroidery girl?"
Seven days ago, when Xu Qing sent the embroidery girl to Shuimen Bridge Villa, he had mentioned to Wang Lingyuan about the girl’s corpse being burned. Seeing Senior Brother Wang bringing fish now suggested some progress in the matter.
"Senior Brother Wang said that corpse destruction is a serious crime, and the villains who burned the embroidery girl’s corpse, aside from a few missing ones, were all executed..."
It was likely that the missing ones were those who got scared to death by the embroidery girl, while the rest were those who hadn’t had the chance to be frightened by the girl yet.
Xu Qing nodded at this, contemplating the criminals he had directly or indirectly sent to prison.
Whether it was the Liu Family members or Sai Yuxian’s unfaithful husband, they were all detained in iron bars, awaiting the autumn beheading when their heads would simultaneously fall to the ground...
"So, autumn truly is a great harvest season," Xu Qing remarked.
Xuan Yu agreed, saying, "Senior Brother Wang mentioned that autumn fish is the most delectable; I also hope autumn arrives soon."
