Luoyang Mansion, prison.

Du Gongcai was lying on the straw, burping, and found a small bamboo stick out of nowhere, picking his teeth leisurely, looking satisfied.

"Du Gongcai, are you satisfied with today's wine and food?"

There was a shout from outside the room, Du Gong was startled, and when he saw that it was a few brocade guards, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Satisfied, satisfied!" ”

A Jinyi guard snorted and said: "The Bazhen Chicken of the Drunken Spring Building, the Sacred Decree Bone Crispy Fish of Taibaiju, and the Bamboo Leaf Qing of the Ten Years of Chen's Chen's Liquor Workshop, Lord Qincha specially asked me to make a special trip to order it, which is naturally good." ”

As soon as Du Gongcai heard this, his demeanor became more and more respectful: "Lord Qincha is very gracious, and he takes such care of us and other guilty people, Du Mou is willing to die even if he dies." ”

The brocade guard in the lead smiled and smiled happily: "Since this is the case, then please ask Lord Du to go on the road!" ”

The smirk on Du Gongcai's face instantly condensed, and his mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg.

After a while, Du Gong reacted. It's not that he didn't expect this day to come, in addition to his huge greed for ink, he also has the crime of rebellion and assassination of Qincha, Zhao Hao, who has the right to cut first and then play, will not let him go.

Therefore, Du Gongcai quickly recovered his expression and laughed: "Very good, the old man has been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”

He laughed loudly, stood up from the straw, and walked straight to the fence gate, Jinyi Wei unlocked the door of the house, and Du Gongcai calmly walked out of the door and shouted: "Everyone, Du has taken a step first!" ”

Those officials were originally dining, resting, and chatting through the fence, but when they heard his loud shout, they immediately stood up one after another, lying on the fence gate of the number room, and looked at Du Gongcai.

Du Gongcai hugged his fists around and laughed: "If you have the heart, read a colleague, and burn some incense paper for Du today next year!" ”

There was a sigh in the prison.

Du Gongcai's head was cut off, and everyone already knew it. It's just greedy for ink, the focus is on the crime of rebellion, which can be decided immediately, not to mention that he is not from the imperial examination, he is not a scholar, and it is strange if he does not die.

Therefore, although everyone was a little sad, they did not react too much, but only expressed their grief either genuinely or falsely.

"Master Du, go all the way!"

"Master Du...... Woowoo woo ......"

"Master Du, go ...... well"

In the midst of a mournful voice, Zhang Yue, the Criminal Division, also stood up, walked to the gate of the fence, and called "Lord Du", Du Gongcai immediately stepped forward, and the two clasped their hands across the fence.

"Master Du, let's go!"

"Lord Xiantai, the old man will go first, cherish!"

Just when the two of them said goodbye regretfully, the Jinyi guard on the side finally got impatient, pushed Du Gongcai away, and said angrily: "What goes first, no one needs to send anyone, we all have to go on the road together today!" ”

"What?" Zhang Yue's eyes were round, staring at the brocade guard viciously.

The brocade guard didn't reply to him, but pushed Du Gongcai to walk out, and after a while, dozens of brocade guards poured in, and the leading brocade guard captain held a bunch of keys in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Take out the first four grades and above." ”

After speaking, he walked to the front and clicked, opened Zhang Yue's fence door lock, and then went forward to open the door of Yang Yu's room.

The two brocade guards pushed open the door and pulled Zhang Yue out, Zhang Yue woke up like a dream, and roared: "What do you want?" ”

The brocade guard said coldly: "I have eaten all the severed head wine, what are you asking?" Today, the commander will personally send you on your way! ”

Zhang Yue opened his mouth in horror, suddenly launched a frenzy, and slammed into the brocade guard: "Are you crazy, this official is Chongning's fourth-year first-class jinshi and the ninth, even today's officials dare not kill this official, he Zhao Hao dares to touch his official hair?" ”

The brocade guards turned sideways, Zhang Yue crashed into the air, fell a dog and ate, and then was picked up from the ground by two brocade guards holding their shoulders: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll send you to the prisoner car now!" ”

Zhang Yue was like a crazy demon in an instant, his eyes were red, his hair was scattered, and he was struggling desperately, while roaring hysterically: "Taizu swears a testament, you must not kill the doctor, I haven't killed the doctor in one hundred and fifty years, how dare you kill me if you are a distant relative of Zhao Hao's district?" How dare you kill me? ”

He struggled and shook frantically with all his strength, and the two brocade guards struggled to clasp his shoulders, only to hear a snort, the robe on his shoulders was torn by his violent struggle, and Zhang Yue leaned forward, almost throwing off control. The brocade guard on the left was furious, using his palm as a knife, and hit him the back of the head, Zhang Yue fainted, his body slowly collapsed, and the two brocade guards dragged him to the door like a dead dog.

At this time, the prisoners in the prison finally knew what had happened, and they all went crazy, screaming, shouting, crying, some raised shackles and smashed the fence desperately, and some hysterically hit their heads directly.

In an instant, the entire prison was filled with cries of terror and despair as if the end of the world was coming.

Du Gongcai, who had already walked to the door of the prison, heard the movement behind him, the corners of his mouth twitched, turned around, and strode forward, and Yang Yu, who was following closely behind, laughed a few times, seemingly very happy.

A few of them, who are both the first evil and the most serious scholars, have long been ready to die, and now they have seen so many people to accompany them, and these people have been talking about Taizu's oath and testament not to kill the scholars for several days, which makes them very disgusted, and at this moment there is an inexplicable happiness in their hearts, and even the matter of returning to the West soon has become not so painful.

Regardless of whether the prisoners were scolded, shouted, or struggled fiercely, it was to no avail after all, and the brocade guards opened the door of the room in turn, and then forcibly twisted them out one by one, and sent them to the prisoner car that was already waiting outside.

……

Lord Qincha wants to personally behead the evil officials before the people, and this news has already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luoyang City.

In the suburbs, an old man rolled up his trouser leg and was about to go to the field to plant wheat, the drought had just passed, and it had rained a few times, and the government borrowed wheat seeds from the people, just to plant the wheat.

"Old man! Old man! As soon as he got off the ground, he heard the anxious and excited cry of the old woman, and when he looked up, he saw the old woman running towards him in a panic.

"What? Our big yellow horse has a cub? The old man couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw her posture.

"What's next, it's still early. I heard that the people in the city said that the Qin mission was going to behead those evil officials outside the city, so everyone went to the city to see it, let's go together? ”

"What's the point of cutting off the head, I thought the rhubarb had a cub. …… What? Cutting down evil officials? Wait for me, I'll wash my feet and put on my shoes. ”

……

Lao Zhang in the west of the city picked up a load of baked cakes and shouted loudly: "Baked cakes, Lao Zhang baked cakes, freshly baked, hot baked cakes!" ”

A person on the opposite side ran in a panic and bumped into him, so that he almost turned over on his back with the burden of baked cakes.

Lao Zhang was furious, grabbed the placket of the man's clothes and was about to scold, but found that it was the neighbor Lao Li, and couldn't help grinning: "Lao Li, you are about the widow of the king and your family knows about it, right, have you been driven to run like this?" ”

The man named Lao Li shook off his hand angrily, and said angrily: "What are you kid yelling about? I'm going to see the Qin Prison beheading evil officials outside the city, I said Lao Zhang, you are selling fart baked cakes here, and the whole city has gone to the West Gate to behead the traitorous platform, who are you selling the baked cakes to, if you want to sell them, you have to go over there to sell them. I'll go first, I'll be too late to see the heads of others. ”

"What?! …… Wait, I'll go with you! ”

……

In Luoyang City, from the gate of the prison to the beheading platform outside the west gate, both sides were lined up with people, leaving only a passage in the middle, which was more than ten miles long.

Knock da~

Several brocade-clothed guards galloped towards them, shouting loudly as they ran.

"Lord Qincha has an order, in this period of famine, it is not allowed to throw corrupt officials with eggs, tofu, vegetables and other vegetables and grains, nor do you throw hard objects such as bricks, stones, and soil, so as not to accidentally injure the accompanying officials, otherwise they will all be questioned, please remember and remember!"

The shouting went all the way forward, followed by another one, and continued to run and shout, after a commotion in the crowd, sure enough, some people threw down the bricks and stones in their hands one after another, and some people pocketed the eggs and other things in their hands.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling could be heard in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw two rows of brightly armored white soldiers escorting a prisoner cart in the middle slowly along the aisle in the crowd. The leader was Du Gongcai's prisoner car, on both sides of the prisoner car stood two brocade guards, and directly behind stood an executioner holding a bright and dangling broadsword.

In an instant, the crowd suddenly became a sensation.

"Shoot him!"

"Kill him!"

"Thief, give back my son's life!"

……

Wave after wave of roars, shouts, and cries surged in unison, and the huge wave shook half of Luoyang City.

Someone was excited, holding bricks, stones, and even kitchen knives, and was about to rush to the prisoner cart and attack the prisoners in the car, but they were stubbornly blocked back by the white soldiers on both sides.

While escorting the prisoner cart, the white soldiers shouted loudly to stop the excited people.

On the prisoner car, the prisoners led by Zhang Yue had been struggling and yelling, but at this moment, when they saw such momentum, they all quieted down, and looked at the crowd of people who were almost out of control with excitement one by one, and they all lowered their heads and stopped shouting.

Even though it was guarded by white soldiers, the movement of the prisoner cart was still very slow, and from time to time excited people rushed out from the front, wanting to attack the prisoner cart. As a last resort, the Jinyi guard who opened the road in front had to keep shaking his horsewhip in the air all the way to drive the people away, shouting loudly, "Get out of the way, don't miss the hour", and the speed of the march became faster.

……

The suburbs of the west gate of Luoyang City.

A two-story earthen platform more than three or four meters high stands up, surrounded by brocade guards with solemn expressions; Directly in front of it hung two huge long couplets, one meter wide and four or five meters long. The left piece reads "Mourn for the people who died in natural and man-made disasters", and the right piece reads "Punish evil officials for heaven"; There is a big flag fluttering in the center of the earth platform, and three big characters are waving in the wind - cutting the traitor platform; There were three tables and chairs under the stage, and on the table in the middle was a pot of arrows, which was the seat of the warden.

The prisoner cart finally left the city gate and arrived near the beheading platform. The brocade guards invited more than 100 prisoners with shackles and anklets from the car, and divided them into two rows, one facing south and facing north, and the other facing north and south, and the two rows of people stood back to back, just waiting for the prison officer to come and start the knife.

All the people of the city followed, and surrounded the traitorous platform.

"Lord Chin has arrived!"

There was an immediate commotion in the direction of the city gate, and countless pairs of eyes looked over, and the crowd surged.

I saw Zhao Hao, Xiang Neng, Wu Song and Fang Baihua coming on horseback under the support of a brocade guard, everyone gave way one after another, Zhao Hao and others got off the horse, and under the escort of the brocade guard, they strode towards the rape platform, sat down on the chair in the middle, and Xiang Neng sat next to Zhao Hao.

The sun in the sky gradually approached the middle of the sky, and a brocade guard hurried up and said something in Zhao Hao's ear, Zhao Hao nodded, picked up an arrow and handed it to the brocade guard.

I saw that the brocade-clothed guard ran down the stage with an arrow in his hand, galloped forward on horseback, and shouted: "Chuan Qincha Lord ordered, the prisoner is in place, and the body is verified!" ”

Immediately, the brocade guards standing behind the prisoners responded in unison: "Back to Lord Qincha, one hundred and nine death row prisoners, all of them have been verified and are waiting for execution!" ”

At this moment, another brocade guard came on a flying horse, went straight to the stage, got off the horse and hurriedly stepped onto the stage, and galloped to Zhao Hao's side.

"Lord Qiyu, Taifu Yang Jian led dozens of officials from Beijing to pass the decree, but he was pretended to be a thief by the Qianlong Battalion, trapped in the mountain road fifty miles away, and he couldn't catch up before three o'clock in the afternoon......"

Zhao Hao nodded, with a faint smile in his eyes.

After a while, Xiang Neng looked at the sky and said in a low voice, "My lord, it's almost three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Zhao Hao got up, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw several horses galloping in the distance. The first rider beat his horse and flew up quickly, holding a roll of golden things in his hand, and shouted something to the brocade guards who were blocking along the way, causing those brocade guards to avoid them one after another.

Zhao Haoding looked at it, and couldn't help but change his face.

The person who came was none other than Jin Chongyue!

In the blink of an eye, Jin Chongyue whipped his horse like flying, and he had already reached three or four hundred steps away, and when he saw Zhao Hao from a distance, he did his best and roared: "The holy decree has arrived, and people are left under the knife......

Although Jin Chongyue's voice was not loud, many people on and off the stage could hear it clearly, including Zhang Yue, who was waiting to be killed.

In an instant, Zhang Yue, who was originally white, was instantly full of red light, and he was so excited that he almost bounced, and the two brocade guards with their backs almost didn't hold it down.

Hahaha~

Zhang Yue laughed frantically and triumphantly, the feeling of imminent escape from death made him uncontrollable, and all fear and despair were swept away.

At this moment, Zhao Hao's majestic roar came from the high platform.

"Gunshot!"

"Execution!"

"Slash!"
