On the left side of the Jizhou Mansion Jail, there is a tall watchtower made of bamboo and wood, as long as you stand on it and go down, this prison area covering an area of three or five acres will be all seen. At this time, there were a few people on top of this watchtower who were watching with great interest the changes that happened below, it was Liu Daorong, the eunuch of the prison army, Su Mudao, the local prefect, and Shi Qingyan, the deputy commander-in-chief.

And beside them, there was an emaciated prisoner who was tied up with five flowers, unable to move at all, but still struggling desperately, his face distorted, and his eyes constantly spewing fire. This person is the former general soldier of Jizhou, and now he is imprisoned by Lin Lie.

Seeing those loyal and courageous brothers under his command getting involved in the trap, and finally being shot on the spot by the archers who had already been ambushed in the depths of the prison, this piercing feeling made Lin Lie almost vomit blood, he couldn't wait to break free of the restraints and kill all the traitors in front of him on the spot. However, he couldn't even move his hands and feet when he was tightly bound by ropes, so he could only stare at them with eyes full of anger, and hissed: "Why...... Why do you want to harm them? Are you not afraid of a mutiny? ”

A burst of smug laughter suddenly sounded from the mouths of Liu Daorong and the others: "If we were afraid of mutiny, we wouldn't dare to convict you Lin Zongbing and put you in custody." Although you have won the hearts of the military, my Jizhou defenders are soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and they are naturally loyal to the government, do you still treat them as your own private soldiers? ”

"As for why we're doing this, it's not because of you!" Shi Qingyan turned his head and stared at him with jealousy: "You Lin Lie have only been here in Jizhou for a few years, and you have won the hearts of soldiers so much. What you rely on is not Wei Chengbo's backer? I think I, Shi Qingyan, have been guarding here for many years, and have made many military exploits for the birth and death of the imperial court, but the result can only be set in the position of this deputy commander-in-chief, and in the past seven years, there has been no progress.

"It's ridiculous that you've colluded with foreigners, and there are still people who keep talking to you, and there are still so many people who want to save you. You say, how can I still have peace of mind for you to stay here? But your identity is here, and we can't just kill you. There's no way, you have to let these loyal subordinates do something. Presumably, after tonight's battle of prisoners, no one in the world can question our good intentions to completely eradicate you! ”

It was only at this time that Lin Lie understood the other party's sinister intentions, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then said astringently: "If you want to kill me Lin Lie, you just have to do it, why do you have to kill these soldiers in the army?" They're innocent......"

"If they hadn't ignored the laws of the court and came to save you, we naturally couldn't do anything to them! But now it's their own death! Su Mudao smiled: "So, Mr. Lin, you can't complain about us, we are also doing business." Although he was laughing, his eyes were full of resentment, obviously remembering the past when he suffered a loss on Lin Lie.

By now, Lin Lie had nothing to say, and he quickly regained his composure: "Even if your treacherous plan can succeed for a while, I believe that the Heavenly Dao cycle of retribution is not happy, and one day you will pay the price." ”

"Really? Even if there is such a day, you Lin Zongbing will not be able to see it. Because tomorrow we will behead you in public. And as soon as you die, this time the matter will be completely closed, and if you want to redress your grievances, go to Lord Yama. Liu Daorong sneered, and carefully looked at the other party's face, trying to see the despair in his eyes.

However, at this time, Lin Lie had become extremely calm, his face was unwavering, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of joy and anger, but said, "You will definitely regret it!" ”

Somehow, when they met his cold gaze again, several people suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and they could only raise their hands and order: "Take the prisoner down to watch and detain, just wait for tomorrow noon, he will be cut and beheaded, and he will be punished!" ”

"Yes!" Several soldiers immediately agreed, and dragged Lin Lie down. Although these people also have some sympathy for Lin Lie, their position makes them choose to stand on the side of Liu Daorong and others.

When Lin Lie was taken away again, Lao Zhuang had already bent his body, came to several officials with a flattering smile, nodded and said: "A few adults, the little one did what you ordered, now you should believe that the little one is indeed loyal to the court, right?" As he spoke, his face was full of apprehension, and it turned out that the rather heroic military man looked so obscene and humble at this time.

The smile on Liu Daorong's face had long since disappeared, and he snorted lightly in his nose, and then said: "You did a really good job this time, and you can be regarded as able to pass the credit." But we have one more thing for you to do. You come with your ears. ”

Lao Zhuang hurriedly took a few steps closer, leaned down and leaned over to the other party's mouth. I only listened to Liu Gonggong's words: "After dawn later, you will quickly spread the news that the government is going to behead Lin Lie in the barracks, and let the more people know about it, the better." ”

"Ah...... Father-in-law, what are you ......" The other two also changed their expressions when they heard this order, and they became a little nervous. Lin Lie's reputation in the Jizhou Army is very great, and if there is any mistake in the law field, it will be difficult to clean up.

"Don't worry, as long as it's properly arranged, isn't it just killing someone, can something still happen? Our family just wants to let the soldiers and civilians in this city know what will happen to us in the end. Only in this way can you really establish your prestige in the army, General Shi. Liu Daorong explained slightly.

I'm afraid that the only one who really wants to stand up is you, Gonggong Liu, right? Su Mudao and Shi Qingyan knew it in their hearts, but now that the three of them were in the same boat, even if they were a little unhappy, they could only admit it, so they stopped making a sound. Only that Lao Zhuang is still full of entanglement, this thing is not easy to do. However, he has no other way to go now, so he can only act according to orders.

The sky soon brightened, and soon after the people in the city went out, they learned from different channels that the government was about to behead Lin Lie, the chief soldier of the city, who had colluded with the Jurchen tribe.

On this matter, everyone naturally has different opinions, some scold Lin Lie for betraying the court and die innocently, and some sympathize with what he is experiencing now. Of course, more of it is to express his suspicion about this matter, after all, what he is colluding with is only a small Jurchen tribe, which really does not match his identity as a general soldier with tens of thousands of troops.

But no matter what everyone says, there is no change in this matter. Especially when it was rumored that someone sneaked into the government prison last night and wanted to rescue Lin Lie after killing and injuring many people, many people felt that he was innocent of death.

It was just over the hour, and there were already a lot of people who came to see the excitement on the side of the high platform that was designated as the execution platform, and many of them even held steamed buns in their hands, just waiting for Lin Lie's head to hit the ground, and then dipped his blood and ate it to cure tuberculosis.

Just when the whole city of Jizhou was paying attention to this execution, several Mongolian people had quietly gathered together-

"From the current point of view, the Jizhou garrison must be empty, if they can take advantage of the fact that their general army is killed and the army's morale is unstable to let the Taishi send troops to attack, then it should not be too difficult to capture this important town of the Ming Kingdom."

"You're right, it's just that the Taishi and our Warat army should stay in the depths of the grassland now, even if we pass the news on, it will be too late by the time they send their troops and horses to arrive, right?"

"No, I just received news before, this winter, Taishi personally brought people to Duoyanwei, wanting to use sincerity to impress their patriarch to raise an army against Ming. You said that if the Taishi hadn't left, wouldn't he be able to seize this opportunity? ”

"And this kind of thing? That's really the immortal heaven bless us Warat. Maybe this time, we will be able to take the opportunity to invade the Central Plains and plunder a lot of property. ”

"We want more than just possessions. And as long as we can really capture Jizhou, Duoyan Sanwei will inevitably abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and then the two sides will cooperate to enter the Central Plains and regain the world. ”

"Without further ado, let's get the news out!" The spirit of several Mongolian people suddenly perked up, and they quickly made decisions and took action.

Before noon, there was civil strife in Jizhou City, and the news that the chief soldier Lin Lie had been killed spread out of the city and flew to the grassland in the north.

At the same time, Su Mudao, who was the supervisor and beheader, had also boarded the prison beheading platform on time, looking at Lin Lie, who was tied up by the five flowers and pressed down on the wooden platform, his face unconsciously showed a trace of happiness: "The surname Lin, when you were my enemy back then, you must not have imagined that there would be today!" Thinking to himself, he looked up with some urgency at the sun, which was almost in the middle of the sky, and at this time there was less than half an hour left before the three quarters of the afternoon of the execution.

As time went back little by little, Su Mudao's mood became more and more eager. Although it is impossible for anything to go wrong at the moment, as long as Lin Lie's head does not fall to the ground, it is difficult for him to feel at ease. Because he knew very well that he had become a complete mortal enemy with Lin Lie this time, as long as the other party did not die, he would inevitably take the most fierce revenge.

"Why is this time passing so slowly, why is it not yet three o'clock in the afternoon?" Looking at the sun overhead, Su Mudao's mood became more and more urgent. He even saw a lot of soldiers from the onlookers, but it was only because there were officers and soldiers at the scene that they did not dare to make any changes.

It's just that this made his mood more and more nervous. Until the subordinate next to him stepped forward and reminded: "My lord, the time has come!" He shook his body suddenly, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, there was no accident...... while thinking, his hand had taken out the bamboo stick from the stick, hooked it violently, and threw it hard to the ground in front of him, and shouted: "The hour has come, open the knife and torture!" ”
