was chatting, I saw He Laoer's face suddenly change, as if he saw a cat and a mouse, turned around and ran, and disappeared without a trace in an instant!

The people who were originally in a circle were stunned for a moment, and when they turned around, they saw a group of soldiers entering the city from Yongmen and appearing on Xiyin Street outside the East Market.

Everyone slowly got up and stared at the group of soldiers who were almost as shabby as them, but faintly exuded a murderous aura.

"What kind of soldier is this?"

Seeing that there was no soldier in front of the group of soldiers, everyone calmed down a little and whispered about the origin of this army.

It stands to reason that in addition to the northern and southern armies, other county and border armies should not appear in Chang'an City.

Even if a foreign army general returns to Beijing to report on his work, it is impossible to swagger and lead his troops into the city.

Looking at the team of soldiers suspiciously, He Guangsu found that the team of more than 100 soldiers did not walk in a queue, but were divided into two columns, left and right, lined on both sides, and left empty in the middle.

In a few moments, a series of prisoner carts appeared between the two columns of soldiers, and in each of them was a man with a disheveled head.

Everyone hurriedly went to the Dharma field on the side of the East Market Entrance and occupied a position with a good view.

- This posture, even fools can see that it is going to be executed outside the East City!

"I don't know who caused such a heinous disaster?"

Looking at the long list of prisoner carts, He Guangsu stretched out his index finger in amazement and counted the number of prisoner carts.

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen..."

When the wooden wheels of the last prisoner cart stopped rotating, He Guangsu looked in surprise as he circled around, a full thirty-one prisoner carts.

Under normal circumstances, those who execute prisoners outside the East City are generally court lieutenants; Even if the court guards detained the prisoners so far, they were generally divided into batches, about 10 people in each batch.

And the appearance of this team of soldiers who are obviously not Guanzhong's subordinates shows that the prisoners detained in these 31 prison cars belong to death row prisoners in the same case!

Nearly 100 soldiers were detained, and there was no internal history, and the guards and officials followed...

This case must not be small!

In a short time, the outside of the East Market was filled with onlookers, and even the shops in the East Market poured out many fat-headed and big-eared businessmen who came to watch.

He Guangsu was not short in the first place, and when he stood on tiptoe a little, he clearly saw a tall and thin officer appear, ordering the soldiers to pull the prisoner out of the prisoner cart, push him to the ground, and sit in a row on his knees.

Then the officer cleared his throat and stepped forward, revealing that slightly gloomy countenance.

After seeing that kind of face clearly, He Guangsu's complexion changed slightly, and he had already judged the origin of this team of soldiers.

- Isn't it the same army that arrested itself yesterday and escorted it to His Majesty?

That mysterious army of only a hundred people captured a group of 500 soldiers of the Northern Army!

The tall and thin officer, He Guangsu is even more unforgettable - this is a fierce man who can jump from a two-zhang high tree without making any sound!

He Bo, who was beside him, did not notice that He Guangsu was shocked on his face, but listened attentively to the officer's angry speech.

"These thirty-one thieves are the genus of the Anling Du clan!"

The officer's first words caused an uproar outside the East City!

"Anling Du's !!"

"But did Your Majesty make a move?"

In the midst of everyone's discussions, a wealthy businessman walked out of the crowd, bowed to the officer, and said softly: "Dare to ask the general, Anling Du, what happened to the offender?" ”

Hearing this, the officer's face was still full of coldness, and he didn't even look at the businessman, and his words were even more indifferent: "A certain district captain deserves the title of Your Excellency's general." ”

After that, the officer turned his back to the entrance of the East Market and bowed in the direction of Weiyang Palace as if the merchant who had spoken before did not exist.

When he raised his head, the officer's face was already filled with resentment: "Since the summer and September of the previous year, the Anling Du clan has been in tandem with Su Jia, a grain merchant in Guanzhong, to raise prices, and disturb the people's hearts!" ”

"When the ancestor of the Tian family in Chang'an heard about it, he did not participate in the Du family's scheme, and the Du family even sent the dead man who was secretly accumulated, killed the master of the Tian family, and abandoned the body in the canal!"

"Fortunately, the Son of Heaven is as wise as a torch, and he has already seen through the intentions of this evil businessman!"

"Then I ordered the three divisions to interrogate and find out the true cause of this case."

With that, the officer took out a roll of bamboo slips from his bosom and read it out with full vigour.

"Check, the main seedling of the Anling Du clan, the grain is strange, the disaster disturbs the people's hearts, and the crime is unforgivable!"

"Anling Du Zizhong, a private armorer, with ill intentions!"

"Uncle Anling Du, assassinating people's lives!"

···

As the officer spits out the name of each person, a soldier comes to a prisoner, takes out the household registration information, checks the identity one by one, and then reports to the officer.

"Anling Du's relatives are in the same season, secretly setting up obscenity and bewitching the people!"

As the thirty-first name came out of the officer's mouth, all the prisoners were identified as correct, and there was no substitute for them.

The officer took the bamboo slip back into his arms, bowed slightly in the direction of the crowd of onlookers, and bowed: "You can observe the face of the thief carefully, and if there is any error, you can testify to it." ”

"If you see the fugitives of the Anling Du clan, you can also cite them to Tingwei and the internal history."

The onlookers suddenly panicked, and bowed their hands again and again: "The general's words are serious, and his words are serious..."

Seeing this, the officer's slightly kind face returned to seriousness: "These thirty-one thieves are all traitors of the country and the scourge of the people!" ”

"By the order of the Holy Son of Heaven, today, at noon in the winter and December of the year, I will abandon the city in the east city!"

Indignantly announcing the order given by Emperor Liu Hong, the soldiers who had previously stepped forward to check the identity of the prisoner turned around and stood in front of the prisoner.

In a few moments, thirty-one more soldiers came from a distance, all carrying a large bronze axe on their shoulders, and came behind the prisoner.

"Execution!"

As the officer gave the order, the soldiers carrying the giant axe behind the prisoner kicked out one after another, kicking the prisoner to the ground; The sergeant in front of the prisoner stepped forward and stomped on the back of the prisoner who was prostrate on the ground.

Then, the axe-wielding soldiers raised their giant axes in their hands one after another, and swung them almost at the same time!

The streets outside the East Market were suddenly stained with blood; One by one, the 'people' who had been cut into two ends by the waist crawled in pain, dragging out blood marks several inches wide and several feet long on the ground.

Looking at the upper half of the thirty-one bodies with painful faces, but unable to make any sound, the officer's face was unmoved, and he only quietly looked at the sixty-two bodies in the open space in front of him.

When the prisoners stopped their 'action', the officer sniffed indifferently and said loudly: "Anling Du's grain is strange, which makes the price of grain in Chang'an skyrocket; After ten months, the Holy Son of Heaven did not think about tea and rice, and was deeply worried about the suffering of the people. ”

"Now that the Du clan is extinct, according to the order of the Holy Son of Heaven, the corn millions of stones in the Du clan are sold at a fair price in the east and west cities, so as to calm the people's panic!"

As soon as the last sentence came out, the officer waved his hand, and the soldiers who surrounded the 'law field' in a circle immediately lined up in a whole line, and returned the same way with the officer's footsteps, walking in the direction of Yongmen.

The onlookers watched the group of soldiers leave with a look of fascination, turned their heads, and looked at the sixty-two bodies on the ground, which no one cared about.

The merchant who asked out loud before withdrew from the crowd tremblingly, ignoring the shops that were still open in the East City, and ran out of the city in a panic.
