Chapter 40: The Blood-Splattered Execution Ground
The Di tribe is particularly lively today, and in the past, only the temple fair greets the statue of Shennong to have such a landscape. The temple fair is held once a year, and it also pays homage to the ancestors, which is solemn and solemn. And such a scene does not seem to be welcomed.
It's more like a send-off.
The execution ground is not like the Ming and Qing Dynasty vegetable markets, filled with a strong smell of blood; Nor did it stain the ground as red and yellowish as it did. On the contrary, because of the worship of the spirit of nature, everyone's death is taken seriously, and in order to make their death peaceful, such a place full of evil air is specially clean.
This is similar to ancient Egypt, where the judgment of the dead is a matter of the underworld, and Hades will use feathers to measure the sins of a person's life, and if the scales are tilted in favor of sin, then the person will be swallowed up by darkness. And the task of the Egyptian soldiers was to send them to Hades.
Although it is not isolated from the world, it is generally used in the Shang Dynasty five punishments, namely Mo (stabbing characters), slashing (cutting the nose), slashing (cutting off the foot), Gong (all understanding) and Dabi punishment (i.e., killing). Other penalties will be determined differently depending on the circumstances; But this is already the approximate punishment of all punishments, just tattooing, dismemberment, amputation, and beheading.
Hundreds of people were surrounded by a small torturer who would not have been executed in such a place, it had been decades since the last time it was used, when the murder of a murderer had been so inaccessible for weeks that no one wanted to walk through it for months.
"Tribesmen, I have a particularly unfortunate news to tell you here today!"
On the tall execution platform, there were twenty-two people kneeling, no more, no less. They all looked at the person who spoke, either with fear or anger, but without exception they did not have the opportunity to tear him apart, not only were their hands and feet bound, but even a rag was stuffed in their mouths.
This is a complete denial of a chance for them to seek justice.
Hundreds of people looked at the people on the top, although they had no impression of those ragged people, but the other two faces, they were all too familiar......
"Eighth aunt, what did these two members of their family do to be detained in this place?"
"Who knows? Yesterday, the little couple was quite happy, why were they arrested today? ”
"What about his son?"
Aunt Eight shook her head.
"That kid must be in trouble again!"
"What scourge can be crowned with the great sin of killing the head? He's ......."
Hundreds of people were noisy, Bi Ya frowned slightly, suddenly drew his sword, and nailed it to the wooden plank, and there was silence in an instant.
Mo Biya ignored the murderous gazes behind him, and said calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the existing clansmen have colluded with foreign clans behind their backs and plotted to defect. The ancestral law stipulates that those who defect will be beheaded, and the Yi tribe will be killed! This law is engraved on the heirloom Dading, and it cannot be changed even if it is reasonable! Now a total of 22 people from Gengwu, Yiyue and slaves are all taken into custody, which is justified! ”
Speaking seriously, Biya suddenly sank his face again, with a sad look: "I heard that the merchant is rich, and the Taijia is committed to taking refuge regardless of his parents and clan!" We mourn it, we hate it! Now the whole clan of Yizhi, when I see the Thai armor in the future, all my race, will not be forgiven! ”
"Thia traitors? How is this possible? ”
"How could it not be? That kid is used to relying on his own name, but now that his vision is bigger, the clan can't fit him, why won't he be a traitor? Hehe, I think he's a bone-breaker! ”
"Kuishan, what nonsense are you talking about? Is there a more hateful person in this tribe than you? Hit your daughter again last night, when we can't hear it? ”
"Hey! You're a dead wife, and you're very wide! Lao Tzu beat his daughter's turn to get you to teach a lesson? Xingfu, tell me yourself, did your father beat you last night? ”
"I didn't ...... There is no ......"
"Did you hear it, don't frame people!"
"Dead old thing, you just wait for the day to be chopped to death by God!"
“…… How old is Taijia, how can he think of the traitorous thing? It must be that the Marquis of Mao misjudged and falsely accused the good people! ”
There are different opinions, there are many people who are unhappy with the Thai armor on weekdays, but there are also many people who are friendly with the Thai family who doubt the verdict, and for a while, the entire execution ground has become extremely chaotic.
The five executioners were already waiting on the Xingxing platform, waiting for the order of the cliff; Biya is not in a hurry, this time he doesn't want to kill the Taijia family, he wants to force the Taijia to appear, whether he rebels or not, at least he can't mix in the clan in the future!
He could wait until the Thai arrived when he heard the news.
He has always done what he said!
"Fart! I've never been a traitor! ”
A crisp sound broke all the noise, and under the leadership of Poor Jian, Taijia arrived panting. Before he could say the second sentence, he saw his parents kneeling on the stage with a panicked face, and he was furious and shouted: "Biya, if you want to seek revenge on me, what are you doing looking for my parents?" ”
Biya's eyes were slightly dark, and there was no more expression, and he said sharply: "What is the face of the traitor here?" Someone, take him and me down quickly! ”
"Bi Ya Gongzi, there must be a misunderstanding during this period, and I hope that Gongzi will not be impatient!"
"That's it, let's listen to what Taijia has to say first!"
Mo Biya didn't have any intention of arguing, but said lightly: "The person who intercedes will be punished for colluding with the traitor!" ”
As soon as these words came out, no one pleaded anymore, even if some people were stuck in their throats, but after thinking about it again, they still didn't plan to continue to avenge their grievances. After all, compared to the cliffs, they are just small commoners......
There is no need to bury your life in order to grow up with yourself, or to watch people who seem to be related to each other but are actually not related to each other.
And before that, how many people wanted to get involved with Thai armor?
In the heyday, people regard the king as utilitarian; In times of decline, people regard you like a plague.
Taijia didn't know how much mental activity had happened at this moment, seeing that the cliff had not moved, but there were a lot of soldiers on both sides, about twenty, maybe thirty or forty, but definitely not less. It seems that Biya also understands the horror of Taijia, and he doesn't dare to let only eight or nine stragglers come to die.
"Father, don't ......"
Poor Jian obviously found out that his father was among them, and he was about to stop it, but his father grabbed him away. Although he didn't say a word, poor Jian saw a hint of pleading in his father's eyes......
"Forgive me."
Even he can't go against Biya's words, even if he feels that Taijia is wronged, he only has the power to exercise orders.
Most of these soldiers understood Taijia's grievances and moved quite slowly, but there were also many good people whose eyes instantly turned bloody. In order to gain the favor of the Mau Qiu Luo family, they must exercise any orders unconditionally! Even if the person in front of them is the rumored Thai armor, they will not back down!
A dozen or so blood-red-eyed guys surrounded him, and Taijia didn't panic at all, the previous fight with the giant crocodile made him understand what it meant to fight. The feeling of blood boiling is the most refreshing for him! And these guys...... Maybe you can make yourself feel refreshed again......
One person saw that the Thai armor was short, smiled hideously, and raised his hand to be a palm; Taijia's eyes were sharp, and the crocodile was more sensitive than him, so he struck with a heavy punch and hit the seemingly majestic palm hard. Immediately followed by a terrible scream, the soldier seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and shot out fiercely, rolling thirty or forty meters away without stopping, until he reached the water's edge, and was stopped by the cushion of the water.
"Surround him!"
As soon as the move was finished, someone reacted in an instant, ordered more than a dozen people to form a circle, and said with a cruel smile: "Divine power, right?" When the time comes, lock you up and see how powerful you are! ”
Even at this time, Taijia did not say in vain: "The big bully the small, the leprosy treasure; More bullying and less dogtail grass. A group of adults beating up a child, you are not ashamed at all! ”
"But no one treats you like a child!"
After that, three people rushed up, and the Thai armor did a backflip, but they didn't want to be laid down by the network behind them, and five or six people cooperated together, reaching out to pull the Thai armor's legs. Tygar snorted coldly, letting the two of them grab his legs; The two of them were overjoyed when they saw this, but before the smile could spread, two small fists hit their eyes hard.
"This kid...... How can you fight so well? ”
It's hard for Biya to imagine that in addition to brute strength, Taijia will actually fight with people! You must know that people who can't fight, no matter how strong they are, three or five people can be subdued. But the Thai armor did not flinch in the face of the siege of more than a dozen people, but fought comparably!
"There are ghosts and ghosts, this kid...... It's so different from ordinary people! Biya's eyes gradually became gloomy, "If you are a brute force, it is very convenient to clean up, but since you can fight...... It seems like I'm the only one who can do it myself! ”
Biya licked his lips, and his eyes were full of excitement to meet a strong man. He fought against a hundred men and has not tasted defeat so far. Now that this Thai armor is in his eyes, can he still let him escape?
He immediately shouted: "Taijia, stop quickly, or I will kill your father!" With that, he raised his sword and aimed it at Gengwu's throat, and Gengwu was terrified, but he couldn't move.
"You dare!"
However, the Thai armor still had no intention of stopping, but struggled even more. With his nimble skills, he instantly broke out of the encirclement, as fast as a cheetah, even if he lost his mind for a while, and when he reacted, the Thai armor had already run in front of him.
"Bold!"
Bi Ya drank violently, and wanted to raise his sword to face the battle, but he knew that the face of Taijia was like Shura, the green tendons were violent, and the facial features were distorted, even in the face of the Bi Ya sword in hand, there was still no flinching at all, like a soul-locking ghost, even if you cut off his hands, he would bite your throat with sharp teeth!
When had he ever seen a Thai armor like this?
"Don't ...... Stay back! ”
This is the first time that Biya has felt fear, he usually makes others afraid, why is he scared today?
My own hands are shaking, why...... Am I really scared? Am I afraid of death too? …… Do the hundreds of people I killed feel like this in the face of my sword......
The cliff, which has always been plain, finally showed a frightened appearance today.
"Come on! Kill me! Aren't you going to kill me? Aren't you going to kill my whole family? Come on! I'll let you kill! ”
The terrifying roar of the Thai armor was deafening and resounding in the sky! Even the onlookers could feel the heartfelt anger of the Taijia!
"Don't come here...... Don't, don't come here! ”
Biya has changed from the chic of the past, but it has become embarrassed at this moment! He waved his long sword frantically, as if trying to make the Taijia stop, but his body kept involuntarily retreating......
However, just as he swung his long sword, an inadvertent arc fell, and blood flew sideways, spraying on his face, like a never-ending hot spring, and every drop of blood was exuding its last heat......
The onlookers all showed frightened expressions......
