"Dang-" A loud bang spread for ten miles, and the aftermath echoed.

The sound of the gong on the execution ground suddenly sounded, shaking the whole audience and being solemn.

The crowd that was as noisy as the vegetable market just now suddenly fell silent, and even the whimper of the whistling north wind blowing through the bare branches could be clearly heard, and the entire execution ground of thousands of soldiers and civilians suddenly became strange and cold.

An Yi watched the deputy director of the Political Department of the Second Army read out the verdict loudly on the high platform, his heart was extremely anxious, and he frequently looked at the ruined temple thirty meters away, and his heart was burning for a while.

After listening to the loud verdict for a few minutes, Gu Laoer's heart became colder and colder, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

Lu Xiong walked around anxiously, and when he saw Yin Jinan leading the brothers on horseback, he hurriedly ran over and led more than 100 brothers from the southeast intersection guarded by Zhang Tianyi to the tent on the east side of the broken temple.

Yin Jinan waved his hand, ordered the brothers to dismount quietly, walked to An Yi's side and asked nervously, and learned that Zhang Tianyi had been in for eighteen minutes and there was still no news, and his face changed, and he was so anxious that he was as anxious as An Yi, and frequently rubbed his hands and led his neck to look at it from afar.

The first 10 death row inmates were escorted to the execution platform amid a dull sound of leather drums, and the major general judge of the Political Training Department of the headquarters read out the names of the death row prisoners aloud, and three military judges of the Second Army and a major general of the Political Training Department ascended to the high platform together, verified the identity of the criminals one by one, and immediately returned to the military judge who presided over the execution.

The young general's judge, who was standing in front of the left side of the high platform, had a cold light in his eyes, and ordered loudly with a wave of his hand:

"Slash-"

The gong sounded, a knife light flashed, and the ten heads broke away from their bodies in the earth-shattering exclamation, and "dong dong" smashed down on the high platform built of thick wooden boards, and a bundle of bloody arrows flew into the sky, splashing out of the high platform four or five meters, and sprinkled on the thick sand laid in advance in front of the stage.

The bright red hot blood was sucked dry by the dry sand in a blink of an eye, and even the refraction of a ray of light could not be revealed, and three of the heads "gurgled" rolled off the edge of the high platform and smashed into the ground one meter and a half below.

The nearby audience was taken aback, and they all took a few steps back, and then the deafening cheers rang out, and more than 4,000 soldiers and civilians cheered to the high platform, shouting loudly, and the people's lively heavenly surnames were fully displayed.

On the high platform, the ten executioners carefully selected from various units of the Second Army were smiling, looking proudly ahead, holding their swords, and they were extremely proud of the outstanding performance of not a single neck cut off from the position of this group of death row inmates.

"With death row inmates—"

The military judge's long chant rang out again, and the crowd erupted in a sea of cheers again.

"It's over...... Finished...... Ten more heads have been dropped, and the third batch has already been chopped ......"

Yin Jinan's face was pale, looking extremely sad, Gu Lao Er gritted his teeth tightly, glared angrily at the high platform forty meters away in front of him, and saw that the third batch of ten corpses were thrown off the front of the high platform again, his heart also fell rapidly, becoming heavier and heavier, more and more sad, an inexplicable emotion of rabbit death and fox sadness, soaked in silver in his chest. Lu Xiong, who was surnamed Gengzhi, couldn't stand this worrying wait, so he simply turned around and never looked at the high platform again.

Another ten minutes passed, and as I watched the fourth batch of death row inmates being escorted to the high platform, the cold and emotionless roar of the military judge sounded again, and the four prison officers began to identify them one by one, and the brothers were almost completely desperate.

Suddenly, Zhang Tianyi's adjutant came out of a large area of dense grass behind the temple that was more than two meters high, looked left and right, walked quickly towards An Yi with a nervous expression, and immediately whispered in An Yi's ear after saluting, and quickly rushed into the tent on the side after looking around, grabbed two fixed iron chains more than one meter long, and ran to the back of the temple along the same road.

An Yi, who was extremely excited, had already grabbed Gu Laoer's sleeve and quickly gave an order: "You immediately lead a dozen brothers to lead the horse around the back of the temple, don't care about the two sentry posts a hundred meters away behind and the martial law officers and soldiers in the distance, even if they see you, they will only think that their brothers are ordered to patrol."

The grass here is very high, and you can't see it clearly from a distance, so if you walk casually to the back of the first house at the west end behind the ruined temple, and let the brothers take a few steps forward without worrying about anything, and then walk back slowly, you just wait at the hole in the root of the wall, and as soon as the hemp bag containing the person rolls out, you immediately open the bag and inspect it, and after identifying the real body, you pick up the horse, and lead the brothers slowly eastward, through the dry reed field, Lu Xiong will lead the brothers to meet you in the grove at the end, do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Gu Lao Er swept away the air of despair and decadence, his spirit was greatly lifted, he strode over to lead his BMW, and after issuing a low order, he led ten brothers to lead the horse and slowly walked around the back of the temple overgrown with weeds.

An Yi witnessed the figure of Gu Lao Er and his entourage disappearing behind the temple, turned his head and glanced at the high platform a few times, and then pulled Lu Xiong to whisper a few words. Lu Xiong, who had been mentally prepared, nodded frequently, turned around and walked to the war horse after receiving the order, and in the earth-shattering exclamations and cheers aroused by the killing of the whole audience, he led the remaining more than 100 brothers to turn over and get on the horse, and walked towards the east woods with a big grin, walking farther and farther.

An Yi took the time to continue to admire the beheading with Yin Jinan, less than five minutes, Gu Lao Er appeared in the corner of the temple back wall in the distance, raised his left fist to this side and shook it twice, seeing An Yi nodding in response, he immediately hid in the grass, pulled the reins to hold the sack on the saddle, turned into the withered yellow reeds more than two meters high, and followed him to lead the horse through the undulating depression, sneaked more than two hundred meters in the large withered yellow reeds that were higher than the head, walked into the grove to the east, and continued to travel east without stopping after seeing Lu Xiong and the brothers who responded, As soon as he got out of the woods, he immediately turned over and galloped to the old Nanchang in the south.

An Yi and Yin Jinan, who stayed in place, patiently waited for Zhang Tianyi to return, and after a while, they saw Zhang Tianyi walking to the steps behind the high platform, and made a hidden gesture to the two.

At this time, the military judge's loud voice came again: "...... Shen Xiangfeng, a heinous thief of Jiangyang, a heinous habitual robbery and murderer, and a counter-revolutionary, has been found to be true and beheaded-"

A gong sounded, followed by cheers that soared into the sky, An Yi and Yin Jinan looked at each other, flew on their horses almost at the same time, turned their horses' heads and looked at the high platform.

On the high platform, the only dirty ** body has no head, a few wisps of blood arrows have lost their momentum, and they are shot forward in a bent manner, until there is no blood to spray, the body collapses forward, and the iron chain attached to the pipa bone is clearly visible, miserable and weird.

"OMG! How did they change people? How can it be so similar in such a short period of time? Yin Jinan's eyes widened and he cried out in shock.

An Yi looked up at the gray sky, shook his head and sighed frequently: "The captain of the gendarmerie of the Second Army is a capable person!" Lao Zhang's deep friendship, Lao Tzu didn't know what to repay...... Let's go! There's nothing to do with us here, but I hope that crazy Shen's unlucky guy can live well in the future. ”

Yin Jinan followed An Yi and walked side by side, walked a few steps and suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said: "Just now I listened to the sentence 'counter-revolutionary' in the judgment of the military judge, and I wondered for a long time, but now I suddenly remembered the party membership of the major general judge on the stage, I am relieved, it must be that the robbery case that caused a sensation on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders has reached the ears of all their party members. ”

An Yi nodded and sighed in a low voice: "I remember listening to my old Taoist say that from ancient times to the present, there is a custom of killing heads and sacrificing flags in the army, and every time there is a celebration, while amnestying the vast majority of criminals in the world, it will also kill a group of heinous people, and many warlord forces still inherit this habit."

Today's matter is very lucky, the gang of bigwigs in the headquarters were all dragged by the celebration, it is estimated that after the red party members of the Political Training Department received the report of the execution of death row prisoners by the Second Army, they could only recognize the name of Shen Maniac and did not have time to identify what Shen Maniac looked like, even if he had time to identify it, it would be useless, he was beaten insincerely, who still knew him? Even the old man of Liuyang, who had chased Shenmadman for a few days and nights, had never seen Shen's face, and few people in the world knew what Shen's madman looked like.

Alas, in the final analysis, this Shen madman's life should not be extinguished, I happened to meet the tiger head to know him, and we happened to meet Zhang Tianyi, who built the execution table, and finally saved his life by chance, otherwise even if I rushed into the city to ask for the principal's pardon, it would be too late to rush back, it seems that many things have their own providence! ”

"Big brother, what's wrong with you? We are revolutionary soldiers, that is, to break the feudal mentality that binds the heads of the people, and we should not believe in fate, why do I feel that you believe in fate more and more now? Yin Jinan said with a smile.

An Yi shook his head helplessly: "To be honest, I didn't believe it before, but after experiencing unexplained things again and again, I also believed it." No matter how great a person is, even a prophet, he can't change the trajectory of history, and the individual can't be smaller than the whole society and the whole world, so I can only do my best to do things the best, as for how good the best is, no one knows, it's all in the future, and a sneeze can change the direction of life in the future...... Okay, let's not talk about these annoying things, let's run faster, we will interrogate the remaining criminals in the county jail in the afternoon, and I will simply release them all according to my wishes, I feel sad when I think of the piece of head I just cut off, it is all a fresh human life, grandma's ...... Drive! ”

An hour later, An Yi and Yin Jinan returned to the county office, An Yi dismounted and immediately followed the beard that greeted him to the Intermediate Court, because An Yi was unwilling to participate in the afternoon trial, Yin Jinan could only rush to the west police station to discuss with Secretary Chao.

Hu Zi whispered as he walked: "I really didn't expect that your Nanchang party would actually do something like stealing people...... Now I can only put people in the small house in the middle of your bedroom, and it is very inconvenient for other places to be crowded with people. ”

"Haha, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, besides, this is still Gu Lao'er's repeated request, I can't help but give him face! Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you put it in my room. ”

An Yi and Hu Zi walked through the pavilion corridor, turned into the second small room in the east, and saw Xiao Langzhong was giving medicine to the naked [***] Shen madman, Gu Lao Er was assisting on the side, and a large clay basin with a charcoal fire was placed in the room, and the indoor temperature was much higher.

An Yi glanced at the Shen madman who was covered in bruises, and was taken aback: "My God...... Why did you hurt so badly? ”

Hu Zi shook his head and said helplessly: "It's much better now, I was also startled when I just got it back, the two gunshot wounds on his legs were maggots, and the two collarbones were passed through by iron chains, revealing the white bones of Sensen, and the sides were full of rotten flesh and pus and blood."

I really don't know how this guy has survived until now, in addition to being extremely weak, he is clearly conscious, the tiger head and I brought a steel file to break the iron chain on his collarbone, for more than 20 minutes, this guy has not snorted, take off the iron chain and often come to cut off his hair full of lice, shave off his lower body hair, and clean him with boiling salt water with Xiao Langzhong, he squeezed out a smile to us and then fell asleep in a daze, it is a man! ”

An Yi nodded and turned to Gu Lao Er: "Tiger head, one of Shen's crazy faces is swollen like this, you can still recognize it, your eyes are good!" ”

"What is this, Brother Shen's eyes are even more special, when he wakes up, you look at him and look at him, I'm afraid I can't forget it, and another, you see that there is a cinnabar mole in the middle of his forehead hairline, as long as the hair is swept back, it can be seen, it is very special, when I accompanied my teacher to Wudang seven years ago, he was still holding a Taoist priest's high bun, and his face was not so indifferent now, I remember that the teacher was joking with Songjian Daoist at that time, saying that if Brother Shen was released, it would probably provoke the female babies on the street, When his face is swollen, you'll know how good-looking he looks. ”

Gu Lao Er was in a good mood, and looked at the sleeping Shen madman and laughed vigorously.

An Yi turned to Xiao Langzhong with a smile, asked about Shen's condition, withdrew with his beard, turned to his room and whispered:

"Wait a while, you ask Chen Zhibiao to bring two thousand oceans, send them to the Fourth Division Battalion in Qingyunpu in the southwest of the city as soon as possible, and hand them over to Zhang Tianyi, the commander of the engineer battalion.

That gendarmerie captain is a capable man, and he can make the unique skill of changing the tanuki for the prince in such a hurry, admire! With this kind of person's reaction and intelligence, he is definitely a master if he leads troops to fight. You don't know, at that time, when I saw the heads falling one after another, the tiger head and I were so anxious that we were going crazy, I looked at the tiger head like a dead father, and I really didn't have a taste in my heart, thinking that even if I took out 50,000 oceans, I would be willing! ”

Beard smiled: "I can imagine it, haha!" Don't worry, I'll send someone to find Chen Zhibiao, it's just right for him to go, Zhang Tianyi knows him. ”

After the beard left, An Yi took off his hat and lay on the bed, closed his eyes and rested for a while, and immediately got up and walked to the lobby, there were many things waiting for him to do, and he was not allowed to sleep a little longer.

What An Yi didn't know was that because the two houses were simply separated by sandpaper pasted on wooden shelves, the conversation between him and Hu Zi was heard by the three people next door, including Shen Xiangfeng, who seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, but was actually very clear and alert.
