The area around the execution ground was silent for a while, and when the executioner cut more than 100 knives, the onlookers of Dengzhou had stopped making noise, and they watched the execution ground silently. The vendors who set up stalls in the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info have been working in this busy place all the year round, and the scene of execution has been seen a lot, but they also put down their business at this time, and quietly came over to see what happened, and the whole scene was a solemn killing.

Suddenly, there was a burst of whispering in the crowd, and everyone listened carefully:

"Money breaks the ground, money breaks the ground, and the money breaks the ground......"

"Prestige, my lord...... Prestige and my lord ......"

"Money breaks the earth and the name of my lord, and the money breaks the name of my lord and the name of my lord ......"

The voices rang out sporadically and kept moving, like a cool breeze. The voice was miserable and hairy. It seems to be about to dissipate......

"Come on! Person! Liu Shuai shouted, and the soldiers who maintained order in the execution ground clenched their weapons one after another.

"Block the way for me, and don't let anyone go!"

The onlookers scattered in horror, and the whole city was full of crying fathers and mothers. However, there were only a few guards at the scene of the execution, and there were more officials in the state capital, who only struck the fleeing men in the ribs with the hilts of their knives and short sticks, or with their pestles.

The soldiers are heavier, they are Liu Shuai's people, and they have already caused some casualties, but to massacre them in the streets of the municipal government under their jurisdiction, it is this Liu Shuai, I am afraid that he also has some scruples. The situation seems to be under control.

In the blink of an eye, the people almost fled one after another, and they couldn't help but secretly say "lucky". He said in his heart: "The civil official of the Dengzhou Mansion - Xu is the governor of the state, or some kind of vassal officer, and his subordinates have rules to behave, which is obviously different from this surnamed Liu. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but squint at someone Liu, Liu Dashuai immediately looked back at him alertly, and Chengyuan's eyes ran away like a mouse meeting a cat.

Most of the people were scattered.

Liu Shuai had already walked behind the prisoner's seat, quietly watching the development of the situation in front of him, and an official beside the prisoner rubbed his hands again and again, giving the chief officer a look.

Seeing their reactions, Liu Shuai couldn't help but glance at the chief prisoner and sneered: "It's all the people you taught!" It's so bad! ”

His tone was not good, but the civil official who was beheaded did not dare to choke back, but only saluted and said: "The lower official is guilty." ”

Chengyuan was secretly surprised, how could this civil official be such a wretch? Reprimanded like a minion by a general? Isn't this a game change? I heard Liu Shuai snort again: "Discipline? I blame you like this, and your subordinates are errand boys? Or do you want to be a bodhisattva? Although this town can't kill you, it's just a thorn history! If I want to replace you and remove you, hum...... That is, to ventilate upwards, a matter of paper! ”

Cheng Yuan originally felt that this prison officer was a little inferior, but on the other hand, he also had some respect for him, after all, in the face of power, this person only played a soft policy, and his subordinates also had a bottom line. After thinking about it: This person is a state assassin, and his position is not small, and this trembling appearance is really strange.

Liu Shuai didn't pay attention to him anymore, he adjusted his armor and cloak and put on his helmet: "I'm back!" He waved his hand, then pointed to Chengyuan and added: "The ox cart will be withdrawn, and a sedan chair will be prepared for this person." ”

"Back? Where to go? Chengyuan asked subconsciously.

Liu Shuai glared at him fiercely, "Where did you come from, where did you go back!" ”

Chengyuan stuck out his tongue, it seems that although there is still no freedom of movement, there is no need to worry about his life for the time being.

At this time, a black-faced official beside the assassin Shi - Xu is a criminal name, actually pointed to the few people who were pressed down by the servants and nested on the ground: "Dare to ask Liu Shuai...... These people ...... How to dispose of it? ”

"Envoy, the bandits really have nothing to do with us!" The detained people told for mercy one after another, but most of what they said was not official, and Chengyuan didn't really hear it. A man who seemed to have good legs and feet had just had the courage to cover the women and children beside him, and was surrounded by several soldiers and beaten to the point that his head was bleeding. In Chengyuan's view, no matter what kind of era it is, there are many people who are righteous and honest.

"Take them all back! Strict interrogation! Liu Shuai ordered angrily.

"It's just...... It's just that the lower officials thought that these people were not necessarily the whispering bandits. ”

Good guy, Cheng Yuan said in his heart: This is really a strong general's command without weak soldiers, and it is worthy of being trained by this assassin Shi to be punished, and the bones are quite hard.

"What did you say!" Liu Shuai turned his head sharply

Cheng Yuan secretly said that this official's temperament was obviously a little stubborn, and of course the person surnamed Liu knew that the person who said those eight words had already run out. However, now that everyone is detained, and things are like this, Liu Shuai can't be allowed to salute them, and then say, "Comrades, everyone is a good crowd, I'm sorry to blame you, thank you for supporting our work." "And then let them all go, right?

Seeing that the official was still in a hurry, Shi Wei, the state assassin of the main supervisor, groaned, and spoke: "Needless to say, I don't think I want to wronged a good person, bring these "suspects" back, record a confession, and it's really not too late to let go if there is really no suspicion." ”

The name of the sentence hurriedly called it good.

Liu Dashuai glanced at the assassin history, he smiled at the steps of both sides without refutation, but his expression was worth playing. After that, everyone cleaned up their stalls and went home, and the assassin gathered a group of poor people, and continued to cut off the remaining knives of the bandit leader, a farce, which ended there......

Chengyuan experienced the enjoyment of sitting in a sedan chair. The ox cart will stumble and bum, but the official sedan chair will not, the sedan chair will sway up and down with the footsteps of the sedan chair driver, making people drowsy, which feels very wonderful, but I am afraid that the luxury car of my "previous life" does not have this kind of enjoyment.

Thinking about the situation he is facing now, he is still full of suspicions: the heavenly supervisor of the central government sees the vision in the night sky, and after identifying the direction, he informs the locality, and the local officials must of course attach some auspicious information. However, this auspicious rui often has doorways and rules, such as auspicious most of the things, feelings, and circumstances, like this involves the "stars descending to earth", which involves personnel, isn't it taboo?

He squinted his eyes and recalled the historical "auspiciousness" he knew, but still felt that there were too few similar examples. However, there are riots around Dengzhou, and the "Maitreya" that was cut off on the execution ground just now is probably not an exception.

"If you want to use me like this," Cheng Yuan closed his eyes and frowned, and continued to think, "Then the person behind this curtain is definitely a big man, first of all, this person must have absolute self-confidence, and have the courage to break the precedent and be the first in the world." Or maybe a big man was involved in some proverbs and rumors, and he was afraid of harming himself, so he simply supported this surnamed Liu to come up with this trick, so that the suspicion of the superior person about himself was eliminated. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Yuan had returned to his residence unconsciously, and as soon as he lifted the door curtain, he almost collided with a person. Looking up, it turned out to be Cao Zheng, the county lieutenant who held him hostage that day. He was dressed in a round-necked robe, pacing back and forth in the room, his left hand rubbing the welt of the sleeve of his robe, evidently anxious.

"The county lieutenant is in good health" Chengyuan arched his hand, he just answered a few words with Liu Shuai, and he was fluttering about his so-called "courage", and he did not pretend to be the following person when facing Cao Zhengshi. Cao Zheng didn't really care, he nodded at Chengyuan, and then turned around and asked the bearded janitor:

"Where's the marshal? I couldn't ask to see him at noon today, I thought he might come here to inquire about this kid's actions, but now the time is over, but I'm afraid that it will be about 17 o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Xu is dinner time has come, the festival marshal has eaten, maybe it will come, the hour is not early, or humiliation to ask the back to prepare some food for the stomach, let them serve Cao Gong...... Something to eat? ”

"No, I'm eating here, if the festival marshal happens to come in, it's too bad."

Before Cheng Yuan could sit down, the bearded man greeted him, and Cheng Yuan understood that he was going to be "invited" into that inner room and confined. He quickly glanced at Cao Zheng, who was standing at the gate, asking for help, but the other party turned his head to the other side. Cheng Yuan said in his heart: "Your head is like a wolf, twisting it hard enough, and you are not afraid of flashing big tendons." Since Cao Zheng decisively pretended not to see it, he had to retreat back to the back room. He remembered that when they first met a few days ago, Cao Zheng had deep doubts about the words Cheng and Yuan in his name, and he felt inexplicable when he thought about it at this time.

Cao Zheng said that he didn't eat, and the bearded man didn't prepare a meal for Chengyuan.

After about three minutes, the man surnamed Liu came. Cao Zheng didn't care about talking nonsense, grabbed it and made a hasty salute, and then took out something that looked like a note from his cuff and handed it over with both hands. Liu squinted a pair of thin eyes and glanced at the note, a white face was already slightly blue, and it was cloudy and sunny in an instant, green and white.

"What is this? When does it appear? ”

"Xiaguan has been following Liu Shuai's orders in the past few days, and asked his subordinates to pay close attention to the surrounding movements, and Xiaguan personally checked all kinds of rumors and demagoguery around Neixiang County, including notes, letterings on the beams and pillars of houses, and even some nursery rhymes."

When Liu Shuai came, he had already changed into a set of official clothes with a wide robe, and he slowly sat down with a placket and was speechless for a long time. Cheng Yuan opened the crack in the door, just to see what the words were, but after all, he didn't dare to make it easily.

Cao Zheng continued: "These proverbs are different, what are the "power to be the main mother", what are the "five rats screaming" and what "money is going to break the ground", the lower officials arrested some villagers, and followed these clues to grope down, and finally dug up the roots, which is the words on this note. ”

He paused, secretly glanced at Liu Shuai's reaction, and added: "The villagers have a lot of words, and these proverbs are only afraid that the person will be implicated." With that, he pointed to the location of the back room.

"You come out!"

Cheng Yuan was shocked by this order, he looked at Liu Shuai's look of surprise and irritability, and walked out slowly.

"What's your impression of this thing?"

Cheng Yuan looked down, and the following words were written on the note:

Qianyou Po Wuwei Lingwu Land (Note 1)

This is clearly the same as the eight characters I heard on the execution ground this afternoon.

Cheng Yuan looked at these eight words and thought hard, and there seemed to be a faint light in his heart, but these Xu Guangliang were blocked in front of him by a chaotic net, making him unable to take a step towards that light. At this time, he could only try more cautiously to uncover the noose-like mess. I didn't know that Cao Zheng and Master Liu looked at each other when they saw his dazzling appearance.

What is the relationship between the day of breaking the fifth day in the prophecy and the dry character of Qiankun? Who is coming to "Wei Ling Wu Land"?

Chengyuan suddenly glanced at Cao Zheng, and remembered his reaction when he heard his name, and suddenly his heart suddenly brightened.

"I'm X, so that's it!"

Cheng Yuan just shouted out this sentence, his heart was bright, and all the mysteries were strung together. The traverser's eyes rolled desperately, and he figured out the following questions:

First, what era is this; 2. What year is this? Third, who is the jackal-like Lord Liu beside him; There are even fourths:

How long will this surnamed Liu live......

Note: The gap between Middle Chinese and the official dialect after the Ming and Qing dynasties is very large, and I believe you have also found that in the first section, the author actually combines the two expressions of Middle Chinese close to Wenzhou dialect and Middle Chinese near Hakka. The two sentences "Qianyou breaks the five powers and Lingwu land" and the two sentences at the end of verse 2, "money breaks the earth and mourns my lord" at the end of verse 2 are obviously not similar in Middle Chinese pronunciation, but the author is not a linguistics scholar after all, and I ask for your forgiveness.
