Chapter 163: Keeping People Under the Knife
Zhou Lijun had returned to Liang Xingfa's side intact, and naturally, Liang Xingfa, who was not a professional kidnapper, immediately released the county official's wife. But they were all sent to the street, and the goods did not dare to go back alone. It was really a snake bite for ten years and was afraid of the well rope. There was no way, Liang Xingfa and the others had to send her to the door of the yamen, and then leave quickly.
The county official's wife returned home safely and met the county magistrate, who was also safe. However, the couple who shared the same bed and dreamed did not happily hug their heads and cry like other couples who were reunited with broken mirrors, but looked at each other with contempt and then sulked separately.
Finally, it was the woman who was the easiest to speak, and she angrily accused her county official husband of not paying attention to his behavior and making enemies everywhere, so that she was kidnapped by others even on the street. In this way, there is no security in this world. The most important thing is that the county official's security is very weak, which leads to her almost not being able to come back when she goes out.
The county magistrate also complained a lot about his wife. Usually it's not good to stay at home and do some housework, but you have to go to the street. As a result, the money he worked so hard to embezzle was squandered by her. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that since the person has been kidnapped, he will definitely be insulted by others, and it is better to die outside. She also embarrassed the county official when she came back like this.
The two husbands and wives refused to give in to each other and quarreled all night. In the end, it was the county magistrate who lost the quarrel. Quarrels between in-laws are generally lost by the father-in-law. Finally, the county magistrate asked him in a hoarse voice who had kidnapped her.
The county magistrate's wife also said hoarsely, "I don't know either." But they look like big officials. It's quite safe to be kidnapped by these people. The county magistrate could only be speechless about this.
It is said that Wang Zhong felt more and more anxious in prison, he couldn't pee, he didn't feel anything in his stool, he couldn't see anything really, and he couldn't calm down when he thought about anything. Such an abnormal behavior is understandable, because the next day he will be beheaded. Now all he can do is reminisce about the past, but he can't yearn for the future. So, he spent the night in insomnia.
Tonight, Liang Xingfa chatted with Zhou Lijun and Zhou Zixiang in an inn. Zhou Lijun first said that her contact with Wang Zhong these days and what she has seen and heard can be sure that Wang Zhong has been wronged nine times out of ten. Because it is really impossible to imagine that such a well-intentioned person would do something to poison others. In addition, the county official is really arrogant enough, this kind of person will only disregard people's lives, and will not judge the case fairly.
Liang Xingfa also said to Zhou Zixiang: "After my test, I think your words are very credible, and the county official is clearly a downright corrupt official." Tomorrow we will meet this shameless corrupt official. He is also under my jurisdiction, and it is my responsibility to get rid of these black sheep. Zhou Zixiang shed tears of emotion after hearing this.
Early the next morning. Several of the executing jailers came to Wang Zhong. Knowing that he would not escape death, Wang Zhong closed his eyes and waited for the final fate. But what he was waiting for was not the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, but a burst of fragrant fragrance. I couldn't help but open my eyes and look at it, and I was dumbfounded, because there was a large pot of rich food in front of him. He couldn't believe that he could have such a rich breakfast before he died.
Just as he was in a fog of happiness, the jailers shouted loudly and pulled him back into reality. The words of the jailer are like this, anyone who is beheaded can eat the last full meal, and it is good that he can be a full ghost in the future, which is conducive to future reincarnation. The jailer's heavy drinking was to tell Wang Zhong to eat quickly, not to delay the time to be beheaded.
Wang Zhong finished the last meal of his life with tears in his eyes. The food was delicious, but he didn't have a taste at all after eating it, because he didn't know how to finish the meal. In fact, he couldn't think about it much, and he didn't even have time to wipe off a few grains of rice on his mouth, so he was tied up and escorted to the execution ground.
Coming to the execution ground earlier than Wang Zhong was Wang Zhong's only relative, his own father, Lao Wang. Although he had limited mobility, he still had a kind neighbor lead him to come here early. There are many ordinary people who watch the beheading, which can also play a warning role and popularize the law. I believe that everyone who has seen the beheading does not dare to have evil thoughts in their hearts.
Although there are many people, Lao Wang is still the most conspicuous person. Because he felt that Wang Zhong was dead today, he was dressed in linen and filial piety, and he was in tears, and he was also the saddest person in the audience.
The people present were not very numb, and they all gave Lao Wang great sympathy. After all, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and it really smells sad and the listener is crying. So, they persuaded him to look away, not to be too sad, or to take care of his body. Even some well-wishers saw that Lao Wang was so old and his eyes were disabled, so they took out some delicious things for him to eat.
And Wang Zhong felt that he had no face to see his father, so he just lowered his head and cried. He didn't know how much he wanted to say some parting words to his father, but he couldn't say the words when they came to his lips.
At this time, the county magistrate who had not slept well all night and the executioners all came to the scene. Although the county official had two dark circles under his eyes and a sore throat, he was still the most majestic person in the audience. Although he was scolded by his wife when he went out, like a defeated rooster, he was energetic as soon as he went out.
The majestic executioner also came to Wang Zhong's side. The audience let out a burst of exclamations, because the executioner was extremely powerful, a bearded man with a murderous face and violent muscles, and as soon as his eyes were glared, the common people did not dare to move, and they all exclaimed that he was really a man like a god. If you want to develop the courage of an executioner, I don't know how many people you have to kill. Perhaps it is precisely because the executioners kill too many people that their lives are very different from those of ordinary people.
When the old king heard the exclamations of the crowd, he thought that his precious son had fallen to the ground, so he couldn't help but cry and rushed forward to hug his son's corpse and cry bitterly.
Who knows, before Lao Wang walked into the execution ground, he was stopped by the nearby officials and did not allow him to walk around casually. The old king felt that he could always touch his son's corpse, and it wouldn't even be too unkind. Therefore, the angry old king scolded the officials who stopped him. As a result, he was thrown aside by the officials.
Seeing such a scene, Wang Zhong had to cry and tell his father to calm down, not to contradict those rude officials, just take good care of his body, and hope that he will see him again in the next life. Lao Wang listened to Wang Zhong's words, and sat down sadly and cried.
The panda-eyed county magistrate shouted in an extremely hoarse voice: "The hour has come, and the execution will be carried out." There was silence in the crowd, and the exciting moment finally arrived.
The mighty executioner squirted a mouthful of wine onto the cleaver and slowly raised it. Wang Zhong also closed his eyes, just begging for the knife to be faster. The executioner's knife was indeed very fast, but it did not hit Wang Zhong, because he was kicked away by a person at the moment when the knife fell, and this person was Liang Xingfa, who had world-shattering skills.
