Su Mu brought his shackles with him as he circled the city. The soldiers beside him struck a gong. The sound of the gong was as deafening as fireworks. Behind him, there were many commoners in the capital making a lot of noise. Some of them believed that Su Shao was human and wanted to witness the Su Clan's rebellion; some of them were afraid that the Su Clan's rebellion would harm their own interests, but most of them simply lowered their necks to watch the show.

Su Mu changed into a set of white prison clothes. His hair was loose as he tied them with a tree branch. His face didn't have any color, and his sunken eyes made it seem as if his eyes were shockingly large.

The wound on Su Mu's leg had not healed for long. After walking so many steps today, he couldn't help but feel some pain. However, Su Mu didn't show any signs of fatigue. Only someone who was concerned could notice that Su Mu was limping when he walked.

Chang-Ma squeezed into the crowd and looked worriedly at Su Mu's legs. She could sell Su Mu for the rest of her life, and she could also remember her old relationship and worry about Su Mu's body. At the end of the day, Ma Chang was just an ordinary person. In front of her own safety, she was selfish, but when her life was free of worries, she wanted to be a good person.

Zhou Ye stood on the roof of a room on the street. He had a face that had never been used before, but it was still very ordinary. If you looked at it, you might think that he looked like the Zhang San you knew, or you might think that he resembled the Li Si you knew.

Lin Yi told Zhou Ye that Su Mu was about to hit the Heaven Shaking Drum, so Zhou Ye threw a punch towards Lin Yi's left eye. Lin Yi used his palm to stop Zhou Ye's attack.

Zhou Ye could not bear Su Mu's suffering, so why didn't Lin Yi stop him? Lin Yi didn't say anything. He just gave Zhou Ye the gold he had promised and thanked him for his help these past few days.

Zhou Ye had originally planned on finding a way to stop Su Mu, but now, when he saw Su Mu, he understood. The Su Clan being exterminated was the pain in Su Mu's heart. Su Mu wanted to take revenge, but in front of Yan Shen's power and influence, this was practically impossible. Even if Su Mu didn't want to rely on anyone, she still chose to work with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi might have other ways to help the Su Clan turn the situation around, but there wouldn't be any other way that was as justifiable as Su Mu ringing the Heaven Shaking Drum. It was undeniable.

Zhou Ye walked silently on the rooftop, using this method to accompany Su Mu around the city.

In the end, Su Mu walked in front of the Heaven Shaking Drum. The Heaven Tremor Drum was only half a mile away, but it seemed so far away.

On the high platform, Lin Yi and Yan Heshen had already sat down, and the Supreme Court's official stood to one side, bowing and scraping.

The nail plate had already been laid down, and the nail emitted a cold light under the sunlight. If one looked carefully, they would be able to see the remnant blood at the tip of the nail.

Su Mu was taken off his cloth shoes and white socks, revealing his feet. Su Mu's feet were white and tender. The skin and flesh on his wrists and ankles were very well-proportioned. His toes were like the tips of lotus roots.

It was a humiliation to be exposed to women. In the crowd, a middle-aged man was telling a dirty joke to the people around him. However, a stone that was flying towards him had knocked out one of his teeth, causing him to spew out a few drops of blood. The man couldn't help but cry out in pain, but his companion immediately covered his mouth.

With so many officials and nobles present, any casual curses would only enrage them and bring about a fatal disaster.

After making an example of them, no one in the crowd dared to gossip anymore.

Su Mu acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He clenched his fists and lifted his jade-like feet before stepping on the nails. His left foot rose first, and his right foot followed suit. Pain followed.

The nails were messily nailed, dense and sparse, but from the side, it was hard to tell what was wrong. Su Mu guessed that Lin Yi had done something to the nail. Thus, Su Mu tried his best to step on the place filled with nails.

Lin Yi didn't dare to do it too obviously. There were still places that Su Mu needed to step on the sparse nails.

Su Mu bit his lower lip. Blood flowed from the bottom of his feet and left obvious marks on the wooden board.

Lin Yi tightly gripped the armrest in his hand, the power bursting out from his veins could be seen. Wang Peijian, who was standing behind Lin Yi, could clearly hear the sound of splintering wood.

"Why should a girl suffer? Let her stop, Prince. It's better to give up early than to suffer till the end. " Yan Sen naturally heard that voice. With a taunting smile on his lips, he turned his head to look at Lin Yi.

"This is her choice. What does it have to do with This King? The Heaven Shaking Drum is something left behind by the ancestors. Where did This King get the right to strip her of her rights?" Lin Yi stared at Yan Heng like a wolf, and said word by word.

The fat on Yan Heng's body trembled in fear from Lin Yi. He snorted coldly and turned his head to look at Su Mu.

Su Mu stepped on the nails, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "Official of the Supreme Court, when it comes to love, there is no need to write too deep, but to be clear and just, you must be punished for your crimes. My father, Su Shao, has entered the Supreme Court for eighteen years without any grievances as his lifelong desire. Prince Lin Chen was sentenced to prison for conspiracy. His father admired the prince's personality. He spent his days trying to find clues for the prince to overturn the case, but he had never met him in private. The late prince had lost his life to poison, but his father was falsely accused of being the culprit. Without any explanation, the entire Su Clan had been beheaded. This commoner is Su Shao's daughter, Su Mu. He has committed a great sin and is unwilling to see his parents and brothers die in injustice.

Su Mu tilted his head back slightly. He didn't look at the spikes on the ground. Regardless of how secretive he was, he continued to walk with ease. The soles of his feet were still white, but the soles of his feet were covered with blood.

On the high platform, Lin Yi could always feel traces of blood lingering at the tip of his nose, making his hands and feet go cold.

Finally, Su Mu walked down from the nail board and stood barefooted on the cold stone platform.

It was impressive enough for such a delicate woman to walk on the nail board.

Su Mu stood there quietly and watched as the guards carried carts after carts of burning charcoal in front of Su Mu.

The blood that was wriggling about made sizzling sounds when it came in contact with the hot red charcoal. The cold stone platform slowly became scorching hot.

Determination appeared in Su Mu's eyes. He raised his chin and stared at Yan Hen, who was standing on the stage. He lifted his foot and stepped on the red-hot charcoal.

Even though Su Mu was prepared in his heart, he still trembled from the pain and revealed a painful expression.

Lin Yi couldn't help but stand up with a look of love in his eyes.

The stink of burning flesh made everyone raise their eyebrows.

Since the founding of the kingdom, there were eighteen people, sixteen men, and only eight people had stepped through the red carbon.

On and off the stage, silence reigned.

Su Mu tensed up all the muscles in his body and took a deep breath. With a grave look in his eyes, he continued to walk forward, "The crime of offending my father, was caused by Chief of the Cabinet, Yan Hen."

When these words fell, it was like cold water entering boiling oil. The crowd went into an uproar, and like a heavy hammer, it smashed onto everyone's chest.

Yan Sen's cheek trembled as he was about to shout out to stop Su Mu, but he was stopped by Lin Yi.
