On the third day, that is, the afternoon of the day before the execution of those brocade guards, Hou Chang was a little apprehensive, and at the same time excited to see Yang Yinglong again, and quickly got to the point after seeing the ceremony: "Master, something really happened in the granary, and Chen Jin, who was a scribe there, had not been seen for more than a day.

"Huh?" As soon as he heard this, Yang Yinglong's expression also moved: "Is he not seen for no reason?" ”

"Exactly, since he went out early yesterday morning, he hasn't shown up, even his family doesn't know where he went, I thought he was delayed because of business in the granary, so he didn't go home, I don't want to see him back with a letter until today, so someone inquired about the news, and found that he was not in the granary, and he didn't go over yesterday......" Hou Chang hurriedly made some detailed explanations.

Yang Yinglong tapped his hand on the table and asked, "Is this Chen Jin still reliable?" ”

"Yes, he was originally born and raised in Banshu, and he obeyed the dispatch very early. After this incident, I also felt that he was honest and usable, so I distributed him to the granary. Obviously, Hou Chang did some research before coming to see Yang Yinglong, so he answered very fluently.

"What do you mean...... Did he encounter an accident and be attacked by those brocade guards? Is their target our granary? Yang Yinglong asked with a somewhat heavy face. Although he had some approval of Hou Chang's inference before, he was still quite annoyed when this was indeed the case, these brocade guards were really too bold to dare to make such a big move under their noses!

"Chen Jin should have fallen into the hands of those guys......" Hou Chang said, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "But where is their real goal, the little one is still debatable." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Yinglong was a little puzzled.

"The way of using soldiers pays attention to the combination of virtual and real, and everyone will say the strategy of attacking the east and the west. And at present, those brocade guards, that Yang Zhen is probably using this hand. Before, he left a post just to make us think that his target was you, master, but then he may have found something, so he attacked Chen Jin again, obviously wanting to tell us that his goal was changed to a granary.

His false and real approach can indeed confuse people's ears and eyes, but the small one thinks that this only exposes his true purpose. As the so-called virtual is real, and the real is virtual, since he released these two targets, his true intentions have been revealed, it should be those brocade guards! Hou Chang said very resolutely this time, and after speaking, he looked directly at his own toast, waiting for the latter to react.

Yang Yinglong frowned slightly, and couldn't help but agree with this judgment: "These two times are almost the same technique, and there is indeed a big problem. Although Chen Jin is a person from the granary, his position is not high, and he will not know too much about the situation in the warehouse, if they really want to attack there, how can they only take him? After thinking about it so carefully, he had a clearer view of the matter: "Yes, the granary can never be their target, then the only thing left is the prison or the law field!" ”

"What the master said, so we have to pay special attention to these two places next, especially when we kill those brocade guards at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, it will be even more critical." Hou Changshen nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time arched his hand: "Please also ask the master to make arrangements as soon as possible in case there is any chaos." ”

"Well, go and call Xuan Dazhong and them, I have to make new arrangements, this time I not only want to ensure the safety of this execution, but also to wipe out those guys, I want to see what kind of face this Yang Zhen will look like after being taken down by us!" Yang Yinglong said with a cruel smile.

Half an hour later, Xuan Dazhong and other generals in charge of the defense of Banzhou City rushed again, and after listening to Yang Yinglong's new order, several people immediately patted their chests and assured, saying that they would definitely see the law field and prison to death, and would not give Yang Zhen any chance to them, and as long as they dared to show up, they would definitely think of capturing them alive!

At this point, a net has been completely opened, just waiting for Yang Zhen and the others to jump in by themselves.

But this day was uneventful.

I don't know if Yang Zhen and the others had no intention of robbing the prison, or if they found out about their arrangement and strict guards, anyway, in the next half day and night, there was nothing unusual.

And at dawn the next day, after learning the news, Hou Chang didn't feel a little muttered. You must know that it is much easier to rob prison than to save people on the court tomorrow. Because there will be a large number of troops outside the execution ground, and there is a time limit, so it will be even more difficult to save people.

However, since the judgment has been made, Hou Chang naturally cannot change the hexagram temporarily, but he only deliberately met with Xuan Dazhong again, and carefully admonished a few words. After thinking about it again, he was still not so relieved, so he simply decided to go to the court to supervise the sentence in person, so that even if something unexpected happened, he could deal with it in time.

When the hour came, an army of a thousand men forced seven or eight prisoners out of the prison and went straight to the high platform at the crossroads. This journey soon attracted the attention of countless people, and everyone unconsciously followed behind the team, and there were thousands of people in a flash.

Since ancient times, it has always been the power of the government to convict people and kill people. And since Yang Yinglong raised the anti-flag, in order to make his position clear and boost the morale of the people and troops under his rule, he has also used this power.

Before, he had killed several Jinyi guards, but this time, it seemed that in order to fight with Yang Zhen and them, he insisted on making the battle bigger than before, and there were two thousand soldiers surrounding the execution ground alone, which is almost half of the troops in Banzhou City now.

And seeing this battle, the surrounding people were a little excited. Although they didn't know why they made such a fuss, the people still let out bursts of cheers when they saw the soldiers firmly encircling the court and dragging all the prisoners one by one onto the high wooden platform.

It's a pity that these prisoners failed to make a righteous and awe-inspiring statement about how they would be a good man eighteen years later. They were already tortured, and they were just pressed to the ground with a wilt, and they didn't even have the strength to raise their heads, and they had obviously accepted their fate. Perhaps, after suffering enough and being physically and mentally devastated, death is the best relief for them.

But unlike those people, Hou Chang and Xuan Dazhong seemed a little nervous. Among so many people watching, how many people are hidden in brocade clothes? When will they suddenly come to the rescue, and how should they take them down in the first place? This kind of question makes the strings in their hearts completely tense, just waiting for the moment of stimulation.

But the more this happens, the calmer it seems. It was noon, and except for the fact that there were more people waiting for execution, everything still seemed so peaceful, as if no one would come to rescue these prisoners.

"Steward Hou, do you think they really know how to do it?" While there was still some work, Xuan Dazhong turned to Hou Chang's side and asked in a whisper.

Hou Chang was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and then said with a frown: "Until the end, no one knows how things will develop, what we have to do is to try to be prepared." You have made everyone ready, and unless the head falls to the ground, there must be no relaxation! ”

"Yes." Xuan Dazhong replied in a low voice, and then went to the middle of those armies to make the final mobilization and arrangement.

Time passed little by little, and soon it came to three o'clock in the afternoon, that is, the time of the day when the yang energy was at its peak.

According to ancient sayings, a decapitated prisoner is often the most resentful, and can easily turn into a ghost to take revenge on his killer. Therefore, in order to prevent this prisoner from being reborn as a ghost, the time of execution was set at three o'clock in the afternoon, the time when the yang energy was the heaviest, and it was completely eliminated with the power of heaven and earth!

When the day moved to the center, someone shouted: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, ready for execution!" ”

This low shout made the people who were waiting for a little anxious excited, and it also made Hou Chang excited, he subconsciously swept his gaze forward, but he was still disappointed that he didn't find anything unusual.

Immediately, he remembered his duty, put his hand into the lottery holder on the table, picked up a bamboo stick and threw it to the ground, and shouted: "Torture!" ”

With this action and order, the crowd stirred again. On the wooden platform, several executioners had quickly kicked down the brocade guards, and then stepped on their bodies and raised the steel knives in their hands high.

After shouting in unison, the seven steel knives swung down in unison, and cut off the seven great heads in one fell swoop, and two of them rolled forward with a grunt, almost falling off the stage, which once again attracted a burst of exclamation from the people.

Seeing that this execution went so smoothly, Hou Chang not only did not feel relieved, but felt more uneasy: "How can this be? Isn't their goal to save people? So what exactly are they trying to do? ”

Also confused is Xuan Dazhong, everything is so calm, not to mention robbing the law field, there is not even a person who collides with the team, and now it is really a bit in vain to put up this battle.

"That's not right...... There must be some conspiracy in this...... Since their goal is not here, it can only be a granary. No, the garrison in the granary is not very tight, and our attention is here, which naturally gives them an opportunity! Thinking of this, Hou Chang hurriedly raised his head and ordered Xuan Dazhong to gather his troops and horses and immediately rush to the granary. But as soon as he raised his head, he swallowed it back again......
