Chapter 563: A Place of Indifference to Human Nature
Lu Li left, no one could catch him, and Ruoshui was taken back to the palace, the place where Concubine Ruan tried everything to send her out.
Now back at the palace gate, if the water can still see the pool of dark red blood on the ground, it should have been left by the coachman, who is no longer there, and the blood is still in place, looking very hideous, but very sad.
There was already a small guard guarding the door running from afar, carrying a bucket in his hand, as if he had received an order from the foreman to clean up the place. Ruoshui could even feel as if he was muttering something, as if the puddle of blood was just a puddle of stains that had no real meaning to him.
This little guard looks like he is at most fourteen or fifteen years old, his body has not fully grown, and his head looks a little delicate compared to the body that is quickly pumped up, and he always looks like he is top-heavy, and he looks like an adolescent boy.
A boy of this age may be just a young boy in junior high school in modern times~ At most, he is just naughty and mischievous, and he has been regarded as a big mistake by teachers and parents. However, looking at this boy now, it seems that he has ignored life and death, and is numb like a walking corpse.
"Look what! Come on! ”
Ruoshui had just stopped, and after looking at the little guard, she was pushed and shoved a few times by the guards who escorted her, and she was forced to continue walking. Before leaving, he casually glanced at it, and he could see that the boy was covered with blood on his hands, looking at his companion and smiling innocently. It seems to be talking about something interesting, and it looks really shocking.
However, all this Ruoshui did not have time to sigh. I saw an even more terrifying scene.
Not far ahead, there seemed to be two people lying on the ground, and next to them, the executioner was whipping the two men.
And these two people, if the water knew each other, and not only knew each other, she seemed to have guessed the reason why these two people were punished here. It's because of her.
Because of these two people, one is her coachman and the other is Mama Lin.
The execution was carried out except for the dull sound of leather whips slapping the ground. Nothing else, the two men lying on the ground remained motionless, as if they were dead. The coachman had been badly injured when he fell from the cart, and a pool of blood could be seen from afar. And Mama Lin is very clean underneath. But there was no movement.
Looking at Mama Lin's silent appearance, Ruoshui's heart was in a hurry, so she didn't care how many swords were set up in front of her and behind her, so she ran straight over there. Those guards didn't seem to be resisting, thinking that she had already given up resisting, but at this time she suddenly ran up, which caught them off guard and let her out of control.
Ruoshui hurriedly ran to the execution site. Threw himself on the ground. She ran into the coachman first, and she reached out to reach for his snort. Lost his voice and cried out.
It's dead! He's dead! These people still refuse to let him go, and they even whip the corpse!
However, now Ruoshui has no time to sigh and feel guilty about the death of the coachman, because Mama Lin is still lying on the other side, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.
Ruoshui didn't even dare to probe Mama Lin's snort, she just hesitated for a moment, and was picked up all of a sudden.
"Where did the palace maid who didn't know how to lift up? Even the important criminals of the court dared to move! ”
When the executioner saw Ruoshui wearing the costume of a palace maid, they thought that she had just happened to see her by passing by, and did not notice that she had just run out of the crowd of guards with knives. However, this did not prevent them from arresting Ruoshui, after all, when the execution was carried out, it was not something that anyone could approach.
Ruoshui's worry now is not that she will be discovered, but that she could easily probe Mama Lin's snort and know whether she is alive or dead, but just because of a momentary hesitation, she completely missed it. She is now being pulled by others, no matter how she struggles, she can't continue to see her life and death, she is so anxious as if she is doing something, even if she knows that she is doing useless work, she still tries desperately.
"You little palace maid! Isn't it going to die? I think you're just in arrears! ”
The executioner was not a good-natured master in the first place, and at this moment he had just become addicted to whipping people, and Ruoshui was hitting the muzzle of the gun, so uncooperative attitude made him more and more dissatisfied.
He raised the whip in his hand and was about to speak like water, but was stopped by the sword-wielding guards.
"This is the Qin prisoner whom the emperor wants to see by name, and he cannot be punished in any way before he faces the saint."
There was a big difference between the guards with and without a knife, so when the executioner saw that the person who stopped him was much higher than himself, he hurriedly put down the whip and said flatteringly.
"Subordinates will never do anything, never do ......"
"Mama Lin, how is she? Is there something wrong? ”
At this moment, Ruoshui suddenly turned to look at the executioner and shouted hysterically.
The executioner was a little overwhelmed by Ruoshui's shouting, he now knows that Ruoshui's identity is also a criminal, but after all, he is a key criminal appointed by the emperor, and it is not the same as ordinary criminals. It is possible that he will be sentenced to a more serious crime, but it will not be enough to do it with a few whips, and it is very likely that it will involve three generations of the nine clans. But some, maybe they will overturn the case and at the same time get the emperor's appreciation and trust, and finally become famous.
The latter is not very likely, but when he recognized that Wakasui was the same woman who defeated the envoys of the Wa Kingdom in the Kitchen Challenge that day, he already decided that Wakasui would never be fine. Therefore, at this time, Ruoshui asked him so unceremoniously, and he didn't even dare to refute.
As a result, while the executioner was struggling with whether he wanted to answer or not, the guard with a knife next to him suddenly said.
"Ask what to ask! Whatever you want to ask, you can ask enough in front of the Holy One! Come on! ”
The guards with knives pushed Ruoshui forward several steps, stumbling and almost falling to the ground.
At this moment, the executioner finally saw something, and knew that the situation of Ruoshui was probably not optimistic this time, so he didn't bother to be perfunctory, and turned around and continued to greet the two people lying on the ground.
"Stop fighting! Stop it! ”
Ruoshui was so distressed that tears rolled in her eyes, but at this time, no one paid attention to her anymore.
However, the feeling of beating a dead person is not the same as beating a living person, especially when he knows that the prisoner is dead, this feeling of whipping the corpse, even if the executioner has been doing this for many years, is always a little uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
