Chapter 590: Robbery of the Law Field (2)
Tuoba Jun's execution of the Zong Aiyu Party this time was too large, and the entire Pingcheng was shaken, with ten rooms and nine empty alleys in the city, and the streets from the heavenly prison to the execution ground were crowded with civilians on both sides.
A prisoner was held in a prisoner's car, escorted down the long street by mighty generals.
During his reign, Zong Ai created countless unjust, false and wrongful cases, which made people angry, and the people hated him even more for his remnants, and the people on the street smashed countless rotten eggs, stones, and rotten vegetable leaves into the prisoner car.
People cursed with extremely vicious words, screaming that the demons who had done all these bad deeds were broken into pieces, but even so, it did not relieve their hatred.
Zhao Junsheng was wearing a woodcutter costume and a hat to cover the face of the senior squad leader among the people, listening to their angry and vicious curses, he was quite worried in his heart, Mulan is such a person who cherishes her reputation and has strong self-esteem, if she hears these curses, she is afraid that she will not be able to stand it, how much blow and damage will this cause to her?
As the prisoners were escorted by the soldiers to the direction of the execution ground, the people on both sides of the street also flocked to the direction of the execution ground, and the entire street was filled with crowds, densely packed, and there was no end in sight.
Guo Yi immediately squeezed to Zhao Junsheng's side and whispered: "Lord Wang, our spies found that a prisoner car was being escorted to the direction of the execution ground from another street, and the one who was locked in the prisoner car was Madame, and the accompanying escort troops had two teeth, and the strength of the spies was insufficient, so they could not rob the prisoner car from the escort of the two teeth!" ”
Zhao Junsheng's expression moved, "Are you sure it's Mulan?" ”
"The name of the lady was written on the mark, and the figure was the same as that of the lady, but the prisoner was disheveled and could not see his face clearly."
In fact, it is best to carry out operations on the way to the execution ground of the prisoners, as long as you choose a place that is easy to attack and retreat, the probability of success is much greater than the direct robbery of the law field, it is precisely because Mulan was transferred to the place of detention, not escorted out of the prison with the prisoner, so there is no way to judge which street the government will take Mulan to the execution ground, and it will not work to attack on the way.
If there was an ambush on every street leading to the execution ground, there was a shortage of manpower, so Zhao Junsheng had to choose to do it directly at the execution ground, which was also a helpless move.
Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and whispered to Guo Yi: "Tell the spies, don't act rashly, wait for the government to escort the prisoner car to the execution ground, and then watch my instructions!" ”
Now the streets are crowded with people, and it is not easy to convey orders, and even if the orders are conveyed, it is difficult for the guards to squeeze through the crowd and rush over in time to carry out the action, and it is not as convenient as doing it directly at the execution ground.
"Understood!" Guo Yi agreed, turned around and squeezed away from the crowd.
There were so many prisoners to be executed that it took an hour and a half to take all the prisoners from the prison to the execution ground, and by the time all the prisoners were escorted to the execution ground, it was less than a quarter before noon, and the prison officer had already arrived.
The execution ground was blocked by the soldiers with a horse rejection, and the soldiers stood behind the horse with a spear to prevent the people from rushing into the execution ground, and the people outside the execution ground had already remembered the entire vegetable market, the weather was hot, coupled with the madness of the people, the atmosphere was extremely excited, everyone was sweating, but no one left.
Zhao Junsheng squeezed to the front of the rejection of the horse, after the rejection of the horse stood a soldier with a spear in his hand, only three feet apart, he turned his head to look again, the people in the front row on the left and right sides were almost all members of his personal guards, although they were dressed in different colors of people to serve, but they all hung different colors of sweat towels around their necks, sweat towels are a sign to distinguish between friend and foe, there is no particularly bright and bright cloth in these years, sweat towels are not earthy yellow, sauce or gray, and do not look abrupt.
"The time has come, start the knife and ask for it!"
With an order from the prison officer, a warrant was thrown on the execution table.
The executioners drank wine, took off the sticks inserted behind the prisoners and threw them on the ground, squirted a mouthful of wine on the ghost head knife, and cut it off with a wave of the knife, only to see more than a dozen heads rolling down to the ground together, some heads rolled around a few times and still staring wide-eyed, the corpses spurted a large amount of blood, and the ground was still twitching, and many of the people in the first few rows who were closer were frightened and screamed and retreated.
Hundreds of prisoners were beheaded in one go, and the execution table and the above-ground camp were already stained red with blood, and the corpses were also discarded under the execution table, and it was impossible to distinguish who the head was and whose body it was.
When the prisoners who were escorted to the execution table one after another saw the corpses and heads in front of them, they were already paralyzed with fright, and they had to be supported before the execution could be completed.
When the last batch of prisoners were escorted to the execution table, Zhao Junsheng's heart was pinched, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and he finally saw Mulan, as Guo Yi said, Hua Mulan was disheveled, with a wooden sign on her back, on which her name was written.
Like the previous prisoners who had already been beheaded, this last group of prisoners was paralyzed with fright, and all the prisoners needed two soldiers to kneel on the ground.
Although Zhao Junsheng was nervous and anxious, he did not lose his reason and judgment, Mulan is a person who has been in and out of thousands of troops and horses, and she has already walked countless times on the edge of life and death, will she be so frightened in this situation?
This doesn't seem to be the Mulan he knows, she is a high-minded and arrogant person, a heroine who is a woman or a shaved eyebrow.
Li Qingzhao wrote in the poem: Life is a hero, death is also a ghost; So far, he thinks of Xiang Yu and refuses to cross Jiangdong. Although Li Qingzhao is a woman, she has such courage, awe-inspiring and righteous qi is full of heaven and earth, but as a daughter, her body is weak and weak, and she cannot use practical actions to realize this kind of courage.
But Mulan is different, she is not a weak female streamer with a weak body, for her, she would rather die standing than live on her knees.
"Ready for execution—" The warden said in a long voice, this was the last prisoner, and the people, the soldiers around him, and even the executioners began to get nervous.
Zhao Junsheng felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, the soldiers and generals around him who were responsible for maintaining order were not so nervous just now, so nervous now?
All the prisoners were pulled by the soldiers who assisted in the execution, their long hair was stretched out, Mulan showed her long white neck, and the executioners' ghost-headed knives were raised.
Zhao Junsheng's eyes flashed when he looked at Mulan, and a dagger in his hand was ready to shoot out at this time, but when he saw Mulan's white neck, he couldn't hold back and didn't make a move.
There is something strange about this, the Mulan on the stage is fake!
Zhao Junsheng, as Mulan's husband, is naturally very familiar with her body, and there is a birthmark the size of a copper coin on the left side of Mulan's neck, but Mulan on the stage does not, which can only show that Mulan on the stage is fake, which is a trap.
Zhao Junsheng quietly raised his hand and made a gesture, and in less than three seconds, a melodious and loud bell rang from the nearby pagoda.
As soon as the bell rang, it was a retreat, and all the guards who were mixed in with the people quietly retreated.
It is impossible to drag on the execution table forever, the prison officer hesitated, this is a trap he knows, but the last batch of prisoners will be executed soon, but there is still no one to rescue Mulan.
"Chop—" The warden had to drop the order.
"Puff ······" The executioners cut off the devil's heads, and the last group of prisoners were all executed.
There were many cries among the people, some of them weeping with joy, others with bitter tears.
Palace.
An old eunuch walked quickly and reported to Tuoba Jun, who was playing with the concubines: "Your Majesty, everything is normal on the execution ground, and no one has robbed the law field until the last batch of prisoners and Mulan's stand-in are killed!" ”
The joy and joy on Tuoba Jun's face disappeared, and he waved his hand to drive away the scantily clad concubines, and his face sank.
"You say, is my deployment seen through by Zhao Junsheng?" Tuoba Jun asked.
The old eunuch said: "Your Majesty, the figure of that stand-in is the same as Mulan, but her appearance is different, but she is covered with a cloak of hair, covering her face, no one can recognize it, and the old slave thinks that it is unlikely to be recognized!" ”
"Then why didn't Zhao Junsheng do it?" Tuoba Jun asked loudly.
The old eunuch bowed his body, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, we still can't be sure whether Zhao Junsheng really arrived in Pingcheng, even the suspicious business trip two days ago is gone, maybe Zhao Junsheng didn't come at all." In addition, the old slave has never understood why His Majesty is sure that Zhao Junsheng will come to the rescue in person for the sake of a woman regardless of the danger of his life, if it is His Majesty, will His Majesty not? ”
Tuoba Jun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and denied the thoughts in his heart, he got up and said to the old eunuch: "Do you think I am really a prodigal prince who only knows how to spend time drinking and robbing people's daughters?" Do you think I'm really unlearned? I admit that I will never risk my life for a woman, but people are different, I have already found someone to check this Zhao Junsheng, from all the information found out, Zhao Junsheng will definitely be desperate for Mulan, although there is no evidence that he must have come to Pingcheng, but I believe that my feelings will not go wrong, I will be so jealous of him, it is because he is different from others, and if this difference is not destroyed, it is likely that we will be counterattacked! ”
The old eunuch didn't have to respond to the emperor's words, but just asked, "Your Majesty, what will you do next?" ”
"There must be something wrong that caused Zhao Junsheng not to do anything, since this is the case, I will behead the real Mulan, I don't believe that he didn't show up! The decree went on, and five days later, at noon, Mulan was executed at Chengguang Gate, and at that time, there were soldiers and horses all over the city wall and around the execution ground, and I wanted to see if he would come! ”
