Finally, the day of execution came. Early in the morning, someone cleaned up and received it, and banged a gong in Yangzhou City and shouted for the execution of the Japanese invaders. So when the time came, the street was already crowded with people, all waiting to see the execution.

When Ruan Jingxin and Dongfang Xu arrived, General Xiao had already escorted people over and knelt on the ground for a long time.

"No one from the Yangzhou Mansion has come forward yet?" Dongfang Xu asked Jin Shijie.

Jin Shijie has been familiar with the whole Yangzhou during this time, so there is nothing he doesn't know. He knocked on Erlang's leg and sneered, and said, "The old boy in Yangzhou prefect makes himself look like he is terminally ill every day, saying that he has already written to the court to ask for sick leave, and now he will wait for the court to send someone down." The others said that they had no leader and didn't dare to make arbitrary claims!"

Dongfang Xu nodded, this prefect didn't find out any case records before, it should be a wallgrass. He served as the prefect of Yangzhou for three years, and almost no political achievements. Dongfang Xu reviewed the files of some of the cases he had tried, and only felt that it was a typical example of fifty boards each, and he knew that this person was a person who would rather not do it or make a mistake.

He must have known about the collusion between the Yamen of the Maritime Department and the Japanese Invaders, but he turned a blind eye to it, although he didn't take any benefits, but it was not a good thing.

"Since he doesn't want to do it himself, let him rest well!" Dongfang Xu increased the volume of the words 'good'.

Jin Shijie smiled secretly in his heart, the old boy in the prefect's mansion probably will never be an official again, but even if he doesn't do anything in the past three years, I'm afraid there will be a lot of benefits. It is said that the Qing prefect has been in the Qing Prefecture for three years, and there are 100,000 snowflakes of silver. What's more, this is such a rich Yangzhou?

Ruan Jingxin was thinking about this sick leave. Many of the systems of the Dayan Dynasty are still very humanistic, such as this sick leave. As long as the official is unwell, the hospital will issue an appraisal certificate, and he can be suspended from work for a minimum of one month and a maximum of one year of leave. Within three months, the official can be reinstated, and the position will be temporarily replaced by a deputy. For three months to one year, it needs to be reported to the ministry for further arrangement. If it is more than a year, you need to wait for a suitable vacancy. In other words, if you are unlucky, you may wait three or five years. After all, this 'suitable' standard is all about people.

"What are you thinking?" Dongfang Xu asked with concern when he saw Ruan Jingxin thoughtfully.

Ruan Jingxin shook her head, she couldn't say that she wanted to apply to see if she could have maternity leave. In this way, she can devote herself to bringing the child to a younger age. She looked at the sundial and changed the subject, "It's almost time, isn't it? ”

"Don't worry, it's all set up. Dongfang Xu glanced over, and listened to the wind and personally escorted a young man to the front of the widows. The boy resisted, shook his head, and wanted to run. But the wind was not affected at all, and dragged the man to the front and back, and kicked him in the crook of the leg. The boy fell to his knees with a 'poof', and before he could resist again, he had already been pointed at the acupuncture points.

"I don't know if this bait is easy to use or not. Ruan Jingxin muttered in a low voice.

"It depends on his father's status and strength on the Sang Country's side now!" Dongfang Xu's eyes seemed to sweep the audience inadvertently, but he was actually observing the situation in the crowd.

In fact, the two women who claim to be princesses should also come together, but there is no way to explain their identities to the public, and they are women, if they are pulled out alone, it is a little abrupt, but if all the women are pulled out, they will be criticized.

Seeing that it was almost noon, and the number of people was increasing, the officers and men who maintained order began to forcefully silence the crowd and retreat beyond the established range.

Xiao Renqing said to Cheng Ying, "Send some more people over to help, if there are too many people, the scene will get out of control." Tell others to be vigilant at all times and act immediately if anything is wrong. ”

Cheng Ying received the order and went to rearrange the manpower again. They are real soldiers, not officers and soldiers who have not been through a big scene in the county office. So as soon as I stood there, the momentum exuded, and the somewhat restless crowd slowly calmed down.

According to the procedure, before the execution, it is necessary to read what crime these people have committed. Xiao Renqing, as the executioner of this time, naturally remembered the crime of the widows. Not to mention how many evil things the Japanese have done, the people also know about it. But when they heard these things read out one by one, they couldn't help but explode.

"Kill them!"

I don't know who shouted this first, but soon someone chimed in, and then everyone shouted.

Some began to throw the kneeling wokos awaiting execution with weapons designed to bring them to relieve their hatred. At first, it was rotten eggs and rotten leaves, but then it somehow started and turned to stone.

Although there was some distance, there were still a lot of these things hitting the head on the body of the wolf. The would-be robbers were heavily handcuffed and shackled, so they didn't even have a chance to hide. Otherwise, stones can really hurt. Many people were beaten to the point of bleeding for a while.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, execution!" Xiao Renqing shouted as he threw out the fire order.

Rows of soldiers quickly came up behind the kneeling pirates. This execution was not a professional executioner, but a soldier brought by Xiao Renqing.

There is a reason why executioners are not needed, there are too many widows. If the executioner cuts one by one, it is estimated that it will take more than half an hour. Moreover, this is also done in order to stop it in time when something happens.

"Keep people under the knife!"

A man with a slightly awkward accent suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, and he shouted loudly, "Please listen to the next word." ”

Ruan Jingxin raised her eyebrows and looked at Dongfang Xu, "Sang Guoren." ”

Dongfang Xu smiled, "Is this to salute first and then soldier? Leave him alone, I want to see how many nails the Sang people have buried in Dayan." ”

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the man suddenly took out a scroll from his bosom and said to a soldier, "Please pass it to the lord above." ”

Seeing that he was interrupted, Xiao Renqing shouted again, "Execute immediately!"

The soldiers replied 'yes' and raised their knives.

Then came a scream, and after that scream, it was followed by the applause of the people.

This is the voice of many people. Some of the family members and friends who had been brutalized by the Japanese were shouting and wiping away tears. Great revenge is avenged! Great revenge is avenged! It is enough to comfort the spirits in heaven.

The Sang man looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes were split, and he couldn't care about the others anymore, took out a whistle from his arms and blew it violently.
