On September 17, the 11th year of Ming orthodoxy, he was in Jiazi. It is advisable to travel far away and break ground; Don't, bathe.

The autumn sun in the sky is not very strong, but the interest of the people inside and outside Hangzhou is quite high, not long after the time has passed, the area near the Wulin Gate is already full of people, countless people in and outside the city have gathered here, tiptoeing, stretching their necks towards the middle of the high platform and open space surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.

Although there were no death row inmates on the execution table at this time, people were already quite excited, constantly pointing and pointing, and many people were counting the details of the prisoners who had been executed here a few years earlier, as if this would make them appear more informed.

"I heard that there is still a young master of the Chang family who is going to eat that knife today, which is too surprising." An idler couldn't help but sigh in surprise.

"Who told him to be caught in the street? And at that time, he also assassinated a yamen duke who came to arrest him and died, even if the Chang family has a big face, the yamen still has to do business, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the people above. Someone who knew the inside story explained well.

"Chang family, that's a famous family that can make Hangzhou City tremble by stomping their feet, they don't want to protect their own son?"

"Who says it's not insured? I have a distant cousin who was on an errand in the yamen, and last year, the Chang family did not send much money there, but no one dared to accept it, and I heard that this time it was because even Beijing knew about it, so he was not saved. ”

"I see. If you dare to kill people in the street and kill the public, I'm afraid you don't need to eat this knife, and you will be killed alive in the Yamen prison. ”

Ever since someone brought the topic to the young master of the Chang family, there have been a number of people here who have begun to express their opinions on this, but they have thrown aside the other prisoners who are also going to be executed.

Although there are many extremely vicious criminals among these prisoners, it is obvious that this Young Master Chang is closer to everyone, which makes everyone's interest greater, and he is even more eloquent and emotional.

But just when these people sighed that the Hangzhou government is fair enough, a not-so-compatible statement also came out: "What I heard is not like that." It is said that the Chang family actually rescued their young master from prison shortly after the incident. ”

"How is this possible? If that were the case, how could he still be beheaded today? Someone immediately retorted with disbelief.

"Well, of course there's a way. It's just a replacement, find a substitute for the dead ghost, and take this knife for the young master of the Chang family, won't it be over? ”

"What do you mean...... Isn't it the young master of the Chang family himself who is going to be killed today? ”

"Of course not, and they have also taken care of the whole government, and no one will say anything."

"How can such a thing happen? So how do you know? After hearing this, everyone around was very surprised and couldn't help but turn around and ask. But as a result, the person who spread this statement was not found at all.

However, this conspiracy theory still made many people believe three or four points. Because there is a deep-rooted idea in everyone's understanding, those famous people are different from ordinary people like themselves, so when they kill someone, someone will definitely cover up their crimes.

The same statement slowly spread among these crowds of onlookers watching the autumn duel, causing many people to have doubts in their hearts, and they were also a little resentful, why could he avoid death by killing someone, and he could find someone to die on his behalf? However, they can only curse a few words in their mouths, and it is impossible for them to stand up and question them when they are executed.

But this was enough to make Xie Jingchang, who was mixed in the crowd and observed the reactions of the people, feel very satisfied.

This time, in order to make it happen, he made two preparations. In addition to Xu Mu, who had previously found the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, he also arranged for people to be on the side of the Dharma field. Once Xu Mu doesn't launch it, then the people here will expose this amazing truth in public, so that it will be difficult for Lu Zhen to get rid of the crime.

Thinking about the fate of Lu Jin's gloomy departure once the incident happened, Xie Jingchang's heart was excited, and the slightest smug smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

Just as this statement continued to spread, a gong sound came from the long street in front, first two soldiers carried the two silent street signs of evasion and silence, and then two carriages that were not too big came first, and on the left and right of the carriage and behind them, they were also escorted by dozens of soldiers armed with spears and steel knives.

Today's overseer has finally arrived!

With the arrival of the officials, the people's chatter suddenly became much quieter. None of the soldiers had to be driven away with sticks, they had consciously given way and let the carriage enter, and went straight to the execution table where the bench and related tools were placed.

After the carriage stopped, two officials came down one after another. One is the current prefect of Hangzhou, Hua Qianfeng; The other is Guo Quan, the deputy procurator of the Criminal Division, who has a somewhat gloomy face.

After arching their hands to each other, the two officials stepped on the wooden ladder and climbed the platform. Today is to be beheaded, so at this time, the two of them look a little solemn, after sitting down, their eyes turned, which made the surrounding people also feel cold.

After waiting for a while, the people were in an uproar again, but seven prisoner carts were slowly coming this way. In the wooden cage, there was a prisoner in a white prison uniform, with a long card on his back, and his whole body was wrapped in shackles.

Among these people, at this time, most of them are depressed, and it seems that they are on the verge of collapse. But there was also a person who was still there at this time trying to raise his head high, looking around, and shouting a little vaguely: "Lao Tzu has killed many people in his life, and women have slept a lot, and this death is not a loss." It's a big deal that eighteen years later, be a good man again! ”

Although this person's voice was not very loud, it also spread, causing the people nearby to hear these words clearly to cheer. For these onlookers who came to watch, in addition to the excitement when the knife was cut, this kind of unafraid rhetoric before death was also an excellent highlight, and they saw this effect.

And after vaguely hearing the movement over there, Hua Qianfeng couldn't help but turn a little darker: "This one kills the sky, it's really a thousand knife killers!" At this time, there is no regret! ”

Guo Quan, who was on the side, also snorted coldly: "When I go to the execution table, I really have a knife on my neck, and then see if he is so tough!" The government carried out the executions in public in order to use these heinous criminals to remind the people that they must abide by the law and not do anything that they regret a lot. ”

While the two were talking, the prisoner cart had been firmly parked in front of the execution platform, and then dozens of soldiers unsheathed their knives and guns, surrounded all the people inside, and then lifted them out of the inside one by one, and then steadily escorted them to the high wooden platform.

Seeing that the condemned prisoner had ascended to the high platform, the spirits of the surrounding people became more excited, and they all squeezed forward one by one, wanting to get closer to the wooden platform and see clearly what these people who were about to be beheaded looked like.

However, their movements were quickly stopped, and the hundreds of soldiers guarding the side had quickly moved, holding guns to block them, and while constantly scolding, some even took out leather whips and whipped them into the void, which brought the whole situation under control.

It's just that in this surge, there are still a few guys who are agile enough to squeeze from the rear to the front, one of them, his eyes first swept over the faces of the death row prisoners on the stage, but unfortunately these death row prisoners are all about the same at this time, the same clothes, the same long hair covering, so I can't recognize who is who at all. Then, after glancing at the two officials on the stage, he turned his head to look behind him.

Everywhere he looked, Xie Jingchang stood firmly with the help of several family servants, and when he saw him, he just shook his head slightly. Now is not the time to launch, because if you speak now, the other party still has room to turn around. Only when the government is allowed to verify the situation before the execution can the matter be done. What's more, although Xu Mu didn't make a move now, what if the other party also had the idea of fighting? So let's wait for now.

The officials who were to be beheaded and the condemned prisoners who were to be beheaded had all taken the stage, and even several executioners, who were tall and mighty, armed with half-human height ghost head knives, were already standing behind the seven prisoners, but the real show had not yet begun.

Now, everyone on and off the stage can only do one thing - wait!

Wait until three o'clock in the afternoon!

"What did you say?" After listening to Lu Jin's story, the teacup in Qian Manjiang's hand was almost knocked to the ground by him, although he still held the cup in the end, but half of the tea in it still spilled, and it all fell on his chest.

But Qian Shi didn't care about his somewhat embarrassed appearance at all, and said hurriedly: "Someone actually wants to make trouble in the court, and it is aimed at our government and you?" And how can you sit here so peacefully? ”

"Now that I know what they're going to do, why can't I sit here in peace?" Lu Zhen smiled and raised the cup to his mouth, took a sip slowly, and tasted it.

"You ......" Qian Manjiang wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he already understood, and his eyes widened: "You have already made the corresponding arrangements?" This...... How can it be? This time the matter is not simple, I feel scared when I hear it, even the prefect, if it is really involved, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the involvement. ”

"If it all happens without my knowledge, I really can't handle it. But now, it's a different story. Lu Zhen said, his eyes glanced outward, and fell on Xie Yao who appeared outside the door. At his glance, Xie Yao's body trembled, feeling that he was being targeted by some fierce beast......
