Chapter Fifty-Six: The Decapitation Period

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Mrs. Kong dressed in a plain robe, and greeted her with a smile.

"Ah Yu! Mrs. Kong shouted and stretched out her hands.

Yang Yu stretched out his hand, grabbed Mrs. Kong, leaned over slightly and said, "Mrs. Kong, how are you doing lately?" ”

Mrs. Kong smiled and said, "Okay, good." As he spoke, he took Yang Yu's arm and led her into the flower hall.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the maid came forward, brought the incense burned, and cooked the tea.

Mrs. Kong raised her hand slightly, and the maid hung her head and went out.

At this time, Mrs. Confucius raised his head and looked at Yang Yu again, Yang Yu was a little uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Ah Yu, what's wrong?" ”

"Yes! Mrs. Kong was a little stern, Yang Yu was stunned for a moment, and at this time, Mrs. Kong's eyebrows flashed with a trace of reluctance: "How dare you break into the chaos like that!" As he spoke, he couldn't stop looking at Yang Yu, and then said with some anxiety: "But you're hurt?" ”

Yang Yu lowered his head, a little moved, and slowly shook his head: "None, none." It is Ah Yu's fault to worry the elderly. ”

Mrs. Kong personally poured the tea soup for Yang Yu, and said softly: "Ah Yu, I know that it is not easy for you, but I have a sentence that you must remember." ”

Yang Yu's clear eyes flashed and said, "Ah Yu obeys the teachings. ”

Mrs. Kong smiled and nodded, "If you encounter difficulties one day, you can open your mouth to me." ”

Yang Yu raised his head in surprise, looked at Mrs. Kong, tears finally burst out of his eyes, lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

Mrs. Kong nodded with satisfaction, handed the teacup to Yang Yu and said, "Good boy, are you here for the matter of Nandu?" ”

Yang Yu raised her head, nodded slightly, the hot tea in her hand was filled with heat, she lowered her head and groaned, and said with a slight frown: "The major families will leave in a month, and they can't stay longer in Liaocheng." ”

Mrs. Kong nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Kong Ping had already expected this when he left. Mrs. Kong also took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Before Pinglang left, he left a message that if there is a change in Liaocheng, he wants us to go to Jinling, and he will take Ah Xiu to Jinling to find it." ”

"It's worthy of Kong Lao. Yang Yu had already thought of it, and his expression was not surprised. People like Kong Lao have a far-sighted vision, and this kind of thing must be properly arranged, so they dare to leave home.

Mrs. Kong looked at Yang Yu in slight surprise, and then smiled with relief: "You really thought of it." Saying that, Mrs. Kong put down the teacup and said, "A month later, we will go on the road together." The mountains and rivers are far away along the way, and I have to rely on you. ”

Yang Yu hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Don't dare, the elder is serious." ”

The two chatted for a while, the sun was setting, Yang Yu stepped out of the gate of the Confucian Mansion, and in the following days, Liaocheng was rarely quiet, and all families were preparing for the southern crossing.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Shangyuan Festival, the streets of Liaocheng were particularly lively because they had just escaped a catastrophe on Chinese New Year's Eve, and with the joy of the festival and the excitement of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, ordinary people and soldiers took to the streets one after another, and lanterns of different shapes were hung in front of the store pΓΉ. You don't have to wait until nightfall, it's already crowded and lively.

Contrary to this joyful song and dance, a prisoner car slowly drove up the street and stopped steadily in the wide square.

In the wooden fence on all sides, a young man in a white bedrobe sat in a car, the original white bedclothes were sticky with dirty blood, dust, and faint wounds that had not been treated in time, and pus and yellow pus flowed out. If you get closer, you can smell the unpleasant smell of the man. The whip marks that can be seen deep in the bones, turning over the white and red flesh, make people feel shocking at a glance, and the onlookers are far away and cover their noses one after another.

"Instrument! ”

A sharp female voice sounded from the crowd, and I saw a middle-aged woman staggering out of the crowd, lying in front of the wooden fence, crying incessantly.

The body of the person in the car trembled slightly, and when he saw the woman crying, he suddenly collapsed and retreated as far away from the woman as possible.

Lu Gong ran out of the crowd, grabbed the woman, looked at the young man who was obviously mentally broken, and said with tears in his eyes: "Qi'er, what's wrong with you!" What's wrong! ”

Yang Yu's eyes looked down from top to bottom, watching the changes in Lu Gong in just a few days. The body that was originally fat and thin looked thin and empty. The face that could still be called upright and elegant turned into deep tears and cloudy eyes. Dressed in cloth, he is very down.

At this time, Mrs. Lu was cloaked, crying and grabbing Lu Gongdao: "You have to think of a way!" Save him! ”

Lu Gong hid his face and wept: "What else can be done!" He sighed deeply and lowered his head in despair.

At this time, a man dressed as an official came forward and said to the crowd: "Lu Aqi killed Mo's Ajiang on the street on the first day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Yuankang, the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable, and he will be beheaded at noon today, and he will be executed immediately!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu cried even more sharply: "Oh my God! Ahh ”

A sister-in-law in the crowd was buying vegetables, and when she heard what the official said, she was also resentful, grabbed the vegetables in the vegetable basket, and smashed them at Luqi.

Bang, with a bang, it was smashing on his head.

But the official didn't seem to see it, and looked away.

When everyone saw it, they were even more bold, and they smashed the things in their hands at him.

Seeing this, Lu Gong actually got up and stepped forward to protect Lu Qi, and shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight!" You untouchables! Stop it! ”

The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, that Lu Qi likes to bully men and women the most on weekdays, and the bad things are done, at this time Lu Gong spoke evil again, everyone did not stop but picked some stones, tiles, and smashed the past, the original goal was to be executed Lu Qi, and now they turned to Lu Gong and Mrs. Lu, and after a while, the two were covered with blood and described as bleak.

The official messenger stepped forward at this time, and Lu Gong thought he was saved, but he heard him say something that made him even more devastated.

"It's noon, ready for execution." ”

As he spoke, a few officials stepped forward, opened the wooden fence, and pulled out the Lu Qi, which was already mentally abnormal.

Sitting on the Seven Star Tower not far away, the view is the widest, and you can take in the scene in the square. Yang Yu smiled, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and suddenly felt warm in his chest.

As soon as this person went upstairs, he saw Yang Yu and greeted him with a warm smile: "The girl also came to see the excitement?" ”

It is the city lord of Liaocheng, Mo Qin.

The city lord smiled, and sat down without waiting for Yang Yu's invitation: "Girl, can you invite me to a cup of tea?" ”

"It's an honor. Yang Yu smiled coquettishly, and her appearance was bright and dignified.

The city lord smiled, took a sip of tea, and moved his eyes to the square below, not knowing whether to talk to himself, or to Yang Yu: "The wicked are ambushed, it's really happy." ”

Yang Yu chuckled, and the laughter was as refreshing and crisp as a jade bell.

The lord of the city didn't know why, and asked, "What is the girl laughing at?" His brows furrowed slightly, and the teacup in his hand was also lowered.

Yang Yu smiled, his eyes shining like jewels and said, "The city lord can kill that guy a long time ago, why wait until today?" ”

The city lord stroked his beautiful hair and said meaningfully: "I can avenge my son, but I will not do anything to frame him and affect his family." But killing that guy alone is not enough to comfort my son's spirit in heaven. ”

"Hmm. Yang Yu nodded approvingly, like a sensible child.

"Got it?" The city lord couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and admired the girl's intelligence in his heart.

Yang Yu smiled, but it was impossible to see through, and she said slyly: "What the city lord said is extremely frank. ”

"Oh. The lord smiled and looked back at the square.

Just killed Lu Qi, the Lu family is still the Lu family, but he just dragged the execution time and dragged the entire Lu Mansion down. Looking at the square full of cries and scolding, the clothes of Duke Lu and Mrs. Lu are no different from the common people, like the personality of Duke Lu, but if the family can buy gorgeous clothes, they will never wear that kind of clothes to go out, Yang Yu can't help but raise his eyes to look at the city lord in front of him and secretly admire it in his heart.
