The next day, near noon, the sky, which had just been sunny, suddenly became overcast.

A few days ago, the streets and alleys of the county town were already plastered with proclamations on the execution of Wei Dangtou and Wei Shihao, so thousands of people had already gathered in the South Gate Square.

Due to the large number of people, the air is dry and windless, so the square appears to be a bit stuffy.

In the South Gate Square, there is a guillotine, which is used for the execution of prisoners by "Ling Chi".

"Ling Chi", commonly known as "a thousand cuts", is the most cruel punishment in the death penalty. It is mainly set up for people who have committed "great rebellion" and "rebellion" such as rebellion, rebellion, and "verbal rebellion". In other words, "Ling Chi" was mainly used to execute political prisoners who endangered the interests of the feudal ruling class.

The method of execution is to cut the prisoner into pieces and make him die in extreme pain, so that those heroes who claim that "their heads have fallen off but have a big scar" want to die quickly but can't, which has a certain deterrent effect, and the means are extremely cruel.

When "Ling Chi" was executed, the executioner first cut a piece of meat on the major muscle in front of the prisoner and threw it to the sky, which was called "sacrificing meat to the sky".

The second knife is called "blindfold". The executioner cut the flesh off the prisoner's head and pulled it down to cover his eyes, so as to prevent the prisoner from facing the executioner's eyes, and to prevent the prisoner from radiating an unusually cold and frightened gaze when he was in extreme pain, which would make the executioner panic and affect the execution.

After receiving a heavy amount of money from Deng Weili, in order to please the latter, Ensheng Tusi temporarily changed the execution of Wei and his son with Ling Chi, and at the same time flaunted how much he hated political prisoners and how loyal he was to the imperial court.

Ling Chi's methods were extremely cruel, so the successive Tusi did not use this method to execute prisoners.

When it was learned that the Weisler father and son would be punished with "Ling Chi", the South Gate Square was boiling, and some timid women left one after another, but the place was still overcrowded.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a gong opening the way in the distance, and a team of people and horses escorted two prisoner carts slowly towards the South Gate Square.

In the procession, the soldiers with spears in front of them came to the square, and immediately took their places, some of them lined up in front of the torture platform, forcing the crowd to take ten steps back, and the other part of the people stood every other zhang, surrounding the square in case of accidents.

After the fat-headed and big-eared Ensheng and several dignitaries in the yamen came to the stage and sat down, they ordered the prisoners to be escorted to the stage.

After taking the stage, Wei Shihao held his head high and did not kneel.

"Bold rebel, why don't you kneel?" Ensheng was furious and scolded.

"Me! Dog officer, you are indiscriminate, careless of human life, and you are not worthy of being the toast of our Zhuang family at all. Wei Shihao's hands were tied behind his back, and he glared at Ensheng with fire-breathing eyes.

"Bold...... Come on, shut his mouth for me. ”

Several dignitaries next to Ensheng were shocked, and almost all the prisoners who were dying were so frightened that their legs were weak, but this son was not afraid of death, which was something they couldn't imagine.

After the five or six soldiers received the order, they immediately stepped forward to gag Wei Shihao's mouth, and at the same time forcibly pressed him to the stage, making them all sweat profusely.

After Eun Sheng and a few people beside him muttered a little, one of the dignitaries said, "Let's start!" ”

At this time, an official messenger walked to the center of the stage with a proclamation in his hand and read the "crimes" of the two to the people in the audience.

Before the words landed, Ensheng grabbed a fire order from the signing cylinder placed on the desk in front of him.

"It's noon, execution!"

After the sound of the execution, Eunsheng threw the fire sign into the air, and when the fire sign order landed, the executioner immediately moved.

The fire sign order ran in a parabolic line in the air, and everyone's eyes were focused on the fire sign order, and they were suddenly silent.

"Stop......" A sharp woman's voice pierced the still void, and at the same time, a graceful figure with a touch of pale red rose from the crowd, and after two somersaults, flew towards the stage.

This is a young woman with extraordinary skills, who grabbed the fire sign in the air and landed steadily on the execution table.

"Bold...... Who is the demon who dares to rob the law field? Come on, take it down for me, and kill me! Ensheng was shocked, and in a fit of rage, he took the case.

Other officials were also frightened by the sudden attack.

After the soldiers standing in front of the torture platform to maintain order reacted, they wanted to turn around and rush onto the stage, but they were already held by the neck with short knives by many men who rushed out of the crowd, and they couldn't move.

The people at the scene were immediately in chaos and scattered in all directions.

"Who dares to move, try?" The woman also drew her long sword and pointed at Eun Sheng.

Everyone saw that this woman was not someone else, but the niece of the state official, Mo Qinglian, and the officers and soldiers were all frightened, which was too bold.

The soldiers who pressed Wei Shihao and Wei Dart's head were frightened, and they all retreated in front of Ensheng and drew their swords to protect him.

There was a mess during the execution, and it was unlucky, and the executioner also retreated.

"Wait...... Hugh hurts! Ensheng fixed his eyes and saw that Xie Yingjun, the son of Xie Zongbing, was also in this operation, which was extraordinary, and immediately ordered his subordinates not to hurt anyone, and then said angrily: "Niece Qinglian, you are rebelling, and you are committing a capital crime, don't you know?" ”

"I'm sorry Master Toast, before this case is cleared, it is not appropriate to put the suspect to death! Today, Qinglian also committed an accident for a reason, and it has to be a last resort, and I hope Master Tusi will forgive me! Mo Qinglian said.

Wei Shihao saw that Mo Qinglian risked turning her head in order to save herself, and dared to bring someone to rob the Dharma field, and he was indescribably grateful in his heart, but his mouth was still blocked, so he stood up and wanted her to untie herself.

Mo Qinglian ignored him, but focused on Ensheng's dynamics.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around...... Take it all for me. Eun Sheng shot the case again.

Robbing the law field is a capital crime, and even the state official may not be able to save her life, so his heart is crossed, and he orders his subordinates to take down all the people who participated in this law robbery.

In fact, the sinister and cunning Ensheng not only arranged hundreds of soldiers to maintain order on the spot, but also ambushed nearly a thousand elite soldiers around the square.

Suddenly, the soldiers met each other on the South Gate Square, but the strength of the two sides was very different, and Ensheng's men had the advantage of crushing the other party.

Mo Qinglian and Xie Yingjun's trip was just to save people, not to completely tear their faces.

Before the operation, they told their subordinates that they would never hurt anyone, lest the situation become too big, so their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Mo Qinglian's swordsmanship was outstanding, but she also lost her crosshairs with every sword, and after five rounds, she was seen through by the soldiers besieging her.

Wei Shihao couldn't play with both hands, and only used his legs to help, kicking five or six officers and soldiers to the stage one after another, but it still did not achieve the effect of relieving her pressure.

She swept with her legs and rushed straight with her pink fists, knocking over several officers and soldiers, and was finally subdued.

Wei Shihao was no exception, and was pressed to the ground again.

In less than half a pillar of incense, everyone was captured alive.

In this scuffle, the disheartened Wei Darttou always knelt motionless, because he felt that rashly robbing the Dharma Field would fail after all, and it was pointless to do it himself.

After the robbers were taken down, the onlookers returned and gathered in front of the guillotine.

"Hmph, a few little hairy children who haven't dried up their milk are so bold that they dare to come to rob the Dharma field, they also underestimate my victory, right? When my execution is over, I'll clean you up. Ensheng said angrily.

"Me! Indiscriminately, it is a disregard for human life and an insult to the king's life. Master Toast, if you have to kill us, let's kill us together! Mo Qinglian said with her head held high.

"And me!" Xie Yingjun was also escorted to the stage and shouted while standing beside Mo Qinglian.

"Uh-huh......" Wei Shihao kept shaking his head at them, meaning that the defeat was decided, telling them not to be willful anymore, so as to be buried with him, they couldn't make it, but it was a pity that his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak.

"You two shut up, it's not your turn to talk here." Ensheng scolded the two of them, and then ordered: "Cut!" ”

The executioner, who had been terrified in his heart, didn't know what to do for a while. Before, he was asked to execute Ling Chi, but now Ensheng shouted "cut" again, whether this is the former or the latter.

"Master Toast, what about this direct beheading? Or is it a late execution? The executioner asked.

"What a fart? Forget it, it's cheaper for the two of them. Ensheng said.

"Yes!" The two executioners answered, then walked up to the two prisoners and prepared to raise their broadswords.
