Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 168 Su Yue's End

After Su Yue's conspiracy was exposed, she fled like a stray dog, trying to find a glimmer of hope. However, the entire capital already knew of her crimes, and she had nowhere to hide.

"Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu, I will not let you get away with this!" Su Yue said through gritted teeth, but her eyes were filled with despair.

Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu showed no panic upon learning of Su Yue's escape. They knew that Su Yue was cornered and would eventually be caught by the law.

"Send the order to seal off all exits from the capital and bring Su Yue to justice!" Xiao Ling issued the order.

At the same time, Su Jinxiu also used her connections and wisdom to lay a trap. She knew that Su Yue was a cunning opponent and could not be given any chance to breathe.

Thanks to Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu's meticulous planning, Su Yue's whereabouts were quickly discovered. She attempted to disguise herself and sneak out of the capital, but was spotted by the soldiers guarding the city.

"Su Yue, you have nowhere to escape!" The soldiers surrounded her.

Seeing this, Su Yue knew she could not escape, and her face turned extremely gloomy.

"Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!" Su Yue suddenly pulled out a packet of poison from her bosom, preparing to commit suicide by poisoning herself.

At this critical moment, a figure struck like lightning, knocking the poison from Su Yue's hand.

"You think you can die so easily? Not so easy!" The person who came was Xiao Ling.

Su Yue looked at Xiao Ling in horror; she hadn't expected him to arrive so quickly.

"Xiao Ling, what are you going to do with me?" Su Yue asked, feigning composure.

Xiao Ling sneered: "The crimes you have committed are unforgivable, and you must naturally accept the punishment of the law!"

Knowing she had no way out, Su Yue suddenly burst into wild laughter: "Haha, Xiao Ling, you think you've won? Let me tell you, I still have a backup plan!"

Xiao Ling frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"What other schemes do you have up your sleeve?" Su Jinxiu also arrived at the scene, and she looked at Su Yue warily.

Su Yue smiled smugly: "Do you think I'm so easy to catch? I've already arranged for people to be there. If anything happens to me, your Marquis's mansion won't have any peace either!"

Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu exchanged a glance; they hadn't expected Su Yue to have such a trick up her sleeve.

"Do you think you can threaten us like this?" Xiao Ling said coldly. "We will find every single one of your people!"

Su Yue's expression changed; she hadn't expected Xiao Ling to be so decisive.

"Take her away!" Xiao Ling ordered, and the soldiers took Su Yue away.

Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu immediately summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures.

“We cannot disbelieve Su Yue’s words. We must find the people she has arranged as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the Marquis’s residence,” Xiao Ling said.

Su Jinxiu nodded: "What my husband says is absolutely right. We can start with Su Yue's confidants and follow the clues to find the source."

After some investigation, they finally identified the last group of spies Su Yue had planted in the Marquis's residence. Seeing that Su Yue had been defeated, these spies all chose to surrender.

"Keep them under strict guard and await their fate!" Xiao Ling said.

Having resolved the issue of the traitor, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu began to investigate Su Yue's crimes. They presented the evidence against Su Yue to the Emperor, requesting that he severely punish her.

After reviewing the evidence, the Emperor was furious: "Su Yue, as an official of the court, dared to act so recklessly; she deserves to die!"

Ultimately, Su Yue was sentenced to death and her family property was confiscated.

On the day of the execution, the capital was deserted as everyone wanted to witness the end of this treacherous official.

"Su Yue, you've finally met your match!"

"This is the consequence of committing numerous evil deeds!"

Amidst the jeers and curses of the crowd, Su Yue was led to the execution ground. Her face was ashen, and she knew she could not escape her fate.

As the executioner's blade fell, Su Yue's sinful life came to an end.

Su Yue's death marked a major victory for Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu in their political maneuvering. The Marquis's prestige also reached unprecedented heights.

"This is just the beginning. We will make the Marquis's Mansion even more glorious!" Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu looked forward to the future with great confidence.
