The next day, a massive gathering was arranged in the bustling Qianwei Town square.
People from all walks of life, including high-ranking officials, nobles, and commoners, had come to witness the execution of the notorious Zhang Fei.
The execution pedestal, made of sturdy wood, stood tall in the center of the square. Zhang Fei was tied tightly to it, his head bowed in resignation, awaiting his fate.
The air was thick with anticipation, and even the birds perched atop nearby trees seemed to be holding their breath.
Among the crowd, the members of the powerful Lin, Ji, and Meng clans had secured their positions closest to the execution pedestal.
They were joined by representatives from other small clans and associations, eager to witness the punishment of the notorious traitor.
