Chapter 204: Cutting and Killing
At the hour when the hourglass of the city wall had just leaked, the gate was pushed "clang", and then three soldiers pushed the heavy winch "squeak" down the drawbridge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ding Qian hurriedly ran from the city wall to the drawbridge, and as soon as the drawbridge fell, the little old pimple led the horse and walked over, bowed to Ding Qianshen and said, "Lord Join the army, the sinner little old pimple is back." ”
Ding Qian stretched out his hand and patted the little old pimple on the shoulder and said, "It's good, I haven't seen the wrong person yet." I'll accompany you to the big cell. Saying that, he took the reins from the little old pimple's hand, and the little old pimple lowered his head and was silent all the way, and followed Ding Qian to the prison.
When he came to the door of the prison, Ding Qian shouted loudly: "The brothers in the prison listen to me as Ding joins the army. ”
There was a small hole in the gate, and the cell leader looked out inside, it was Ding Qian, and said, "Yo, why did the army come to the prison so early." ”
Ding Qian said: "The little old pimple is back, and I will send him back to the cell." ”
The cell boss didn't seem to believe his ears and said, "Lord Joiner, what did you say?" ”
Ding Qian's raised voice said: "Cell leader, what I'm talking about is that the little old pimple is back, I don't believe you look behind me." He dodged away as he spoke.
The cell boss put his face close to the small doorway and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Oh, I didn't see the hell in broad daylight, it's really a little old pimple back." As he spoke, he opened the door from the inside and said, "Then come in quickly." ”
Ding Qian stood outside the gate and said, "I won't go in, please send the little old pimple back to the cell." ”
The cell boss nodded and said, "Obey!" ”
The little old pimple bowed deeply to Ding Qian, and muttered reluctantly: "Lord of the army, then the sinner has entered." ”
Ding Qian jumped on his horse and ran towards the barracks.
The cell boss locked the door again, led the little old pimple to the cell, and said as he walked: "Tsk tsk, little old pimple, I'm fucking worried all night." ”
The little old pimple asked knowingly, "I don't know what the cell boss is worried about?" ”
The cell head raised his leg and gently kicked the little old pimple's buttocks and said, "What do you say I'm worried about, I'm worried that your kid will take the opportunity to throw a pole and run away!" ”
The little old pimple said, "Why should I run away!" ”
The cell boss stared at the little old pimple and said, "You kid tell me honestly, do you have this idea in your heart." ”
The little old pimple swelled and blushed and said, "Don't tell you from the cell boss, I did hesitate several times on the way home, wanting to beat the horse and run away." ”
The cell boss smiled and said, "Then why don't you kid run away, what are you doing here?" Waiting to die! ”
The little old pimple said: "But I think about it, what are people joining the army for, not to rescue those fleeing people, let's run to let the army adult, the prefect, and your cell boss follow the black pot to eat melons, then it's not human, no matter how we are also manly, talking counts, so I rushed back early this morning." ”
The cell boss reached out and patted the little old pimple on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you kid still has a conscience." ”
The little old pimple said proudly: "Of course, don't look at us as people who are going to die, but we still have a conscience." As he spoke, he took out two hard-boiled eggs from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the cell boss and said, "Lord cell boss, these are the two eggs that my father boiled when I came back, and I was not willing to eat them, and now I am honoring you." ”
The cell boss hurriedly pushed away the little old pimple's hand and said, "How can this be! I think you should take it into the cell and divide it with the six brothers and sisters, you don't know what eggs taste like for a long time, and you're about to go to Huangquan Road, so try it. ”
The little old pimple had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay then!" He shoved two more eggs into his arms.
Soon the cell boss led the little old pimple to the innermost cell, and the six death row inmates saw the little old pimple coming back, and without waiting for the cell boss to open the door, they pounced on the fence and said: "Little old pimple, why did you come back, you didn't take the opportunity to escape, it's really unexpected." ”
The little old pimple said wittily: "No, it's not that I don't want to run, it's mainly because I'm afraid that my buddies will go to the Hades Palace without me, and the road will not be lively." So I ran halfway through and ran back. ”
The cell boss opened the door of the cell with a "bang" and said, "Okay, let's go in and say something!" ”
As soon as the little old pimple entered the cell, everyone surrounded him in the middle.
This said: "Have you seen your wife?" ”
The little old pimple nodded and said, "I saw it, I saw it!" ”
The one said, "What does it feel like to go home!" ”
The little old pimple shook his head and said, "An indescribable feeling." As he spoke, he took out two eggs from his arms and said, "Dude, our family is poor, and we didn't bring anything back when we went back, only two boiled eggs, and a few brothers will try it!" ”
An older death row inmate took an egg and said, "Little old pimple!" It's hard for you to have a heart, the six of us share an egg, and you can eat the rest yourself! ”
The little old pimple shook his head and said, "Brothers, I already ate at home last night, so let's divide it up with your six eldest brothers!" "Actually, the little old pimple has never eaten eggs when he comes home.
The old death row inmate said, "Thank you, little brother." As he spoke, he took the two eggs and carefully peeled them, then pulled out a thread from his clothes, and carefully divided the two eggs into twelve pieces, and said, "Come brothers, take two pieces for one person and eat them, this may be the last egg we will eat in the world." ”
The death row inmates carefully took two eggs one by one, put them in their mouths and slowly tasted them, and unconsciously burst into tears one by one.
It took a long time for everyone to finish eating two small pieces of eggs.
A death row prisoner leaned in front of the little old pimple and whispered: "Brother, tell me, why don't you run away with such a good opportunity!" ”
The little old pimple said honestly: "Everyone, to be honest, I also wanted to take the opportunity to escape at the beginning, not to mention the horses, who can run far away in one night, who can catch us." But then we are still human beings, and our conscience will not let the dog eat it. The reason why I didn't run away was because the army gave me the dignity to be a human being. We are damned people, what if the adults who joined the army don't consult with us, and just pull us out and cut us! It's not for slaughter. ”
Everyone nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
The little old pimple licked his lips and said, "But the adults who joined the army are not like this, they bought us wine and meat, so that we can eat and drink a big meal." Seriously, I've never eaten meat so openly in my life! ”
The death row inmates nodded their heads and said, "Go on, keep talking!" ”
The little old pimple said: "Actually, yesterday I told the army that I wanted to go home to see the old lady, it was just a casual talk, but people joined the army but took it seriously, I really didn't expect to join the army at that time and happily agreed, and I didn't expect to join the army and give us a tael of silver, and also gave us his war horse to ride home to see the old lady." Alas, I didn't expect that we, the death row inmates in the prison, could go back home and talk to my mother for a night before they died......" Saying this, he shook his head and choked up anymore.
A death row prisoner stretched out his hand and patted the little old pimple on the shoulder and said, "Okay, little old pimple, you are luckier than us, you can go back to live at home for a night before you die, be content!" ”
The little old pimple said with a smile in his eyes: "Content, content, of course content!" ”
At this time, the old death row prisoner said: "Brothers, since the adults who joined the army treat us like this, we should also know what is good and find a way to repay the adults who joined the army." ”
The little old pimple said: "We are going to be beheaded at noon, what else can we repay the adults who joined the army." ”
The old death row prisoner pondered for a moment and said, "I have a solution!" ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly asked, "What way!" ”
The old death row prisoner said: "Come on, everyone will surround together, and listen carefully!" ”
Everyone gathered around, and the old death row prisoner talked so vernacular, and everyone nodded again and again: "Okay, this method is good, let's do it!" ”
After breakfast, and seeing that it was almost noon, the cell head came to the cell of the seven death row prisoners and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone quickly change the boatman's clothes, and after a while, someone will come to escort you to the execution ground." ”
The death row inmates said, "Good! As he spoke, they took off their prison uniforms and changed into the clothes of the boatman.
After seeing that everyone had changed their clothes, the cell boss turned to the guard behind him and said, "Come, serve wine and meat." The guard brought a pot of meat, and then brought seven bowls of wine, and the cell boss said, "Drink wine and eat meat, walk on the Huangquan Road, and the seven of you take care of each other." ”
The seven death row inmates said, "Good! He took a big bowl and took a sip, and then a storm swept away the bowl of meat.
At this time, Ding Qian walked in with twenty soldiers and said to the cell leader: "How is it, are you ready?" ”
The cell boss said: "The adults who joined the army are ready to ask for it, and you can go on the road." ”
Ding Qian said: "Okay, take a rope and tie them into a string." If you want to act, you have to act decently. He said to the death row prisoners: "I have kidnapped you, everyone has nothing to say!" ”
The death row inmates laughed and said, "Everything obeys the adults." ”
Soon the guards brought ropes, tied seven people in strings, and walked out of the prison.
As he walked, a soldier rang a big gong and shouted: "The fathers and villagers of Xiongzhou City hurry up and come out to see, the prefect is going to kill the boatman who can't be saved." ”
The people of Xiongzhou poured out of their homes together after hearing this, and followed the escort team to the Daqing River at the north gate.
The escorting soldier carried the seven men to the beach, and the soldier who struck the gong shouted: "Come and see, everyone, this is what happens to those who take advantage of the fire to rob people." ”
The people who watched the excitement scolded one after another: "They deserve it, these boatmen should have been killed a long time ago, and they saw that the fleeing people wanted to cross the river but asked for money from people to death." ”
The boatmen by the river also ran over to see the excitement, and when they heard this, they all lowered their heads.
Governor Zhang and Ding Qian were sitting behind a large table on the river embankment, when a servant stepped forward and said, "The two adults have arrived at noon!" ”
Governor Zhang stood up and said, "Okay, open the knife and ask for the cut!" As he spoke, he picked up a question token and threw it on the beach.
The executioner waved his ghost-headed knife and was about to cut it down, when he heard those pretending to be boatmen scolding: "Dog officer, the boat is ours, and we will collect the money!" ”
Governor Zhang said sharply when he heard this: "Okay, you damn Diao people, the duck's dead mouth is still hard to chop!" He threw down seven slashing tokens in one breath, and then heard seven "clicks", and seven big heads rolled on the beach.
The official ran over and said, "Lord Prefect, the execution is complete!" ”
Governor Zhang said loudly: "This is the fate of those who can't be saved when they see death, tell the officials to guard them strictly here, and no one is allowed to collect the bodies of these damned people." I'm here to see, and in the future, there will be that Diao people who dare to die and not save them, and take advantage of the fire to rob. ”
