Chapter 595: Go to the Dharma Field!
Chapter 595 Go to the Dharma Field!
Fifteen moons and sixteen rounds. This is the last full moon in the 40th year of Jiajing.
The silver basin-like moon sprinkled silver light on the land of Yanzhao, clearly reflecting the outline of the distant horizon. The sound of horses' hooves came from afar. Then, a horse's head appeared in the southeast direction, marching quickly along the official road, and soon, dozens of horses followed closely, and always maintained a distance of two or three zhang from the first horseman, and the horse's hooves rumbled, crushing the moonlight all over the ground, and rushing straight to the northwest.
This is Shen Mo and his guards, who left Beijing at the end of the Shen Dynasty yesterday and hurried to Xuanfu. Xuanfu is known as 'the first mansion in western Beijing', it is the first government city in the west of Beijing, more than 300 miles away from Beijing, it is the key of Beijing's master, and the key can be known.
Because of this, there is the most complete post station system along the way, with a post station every twenty miles. Without the support of this system, it would be a fool's dream to run nearly 400 miles overnight.
Fortunately, he obtained the token of Jinyiwei. And the most experienced guide at night - the first rider who led the way. The Jinyi Wei messenger, who had been going back and forth between Xuanda and Jingshi for many years, was extremely familiar with this post road, and took them to gallop like meteors in the moonlight, using one post station after another, maintaining an uninterrupted high-speed journey.

In the Xuanfu prison, Wang Si's body has been carried out, and the riots caused by the violent death of the prisoner have gradually subsided, after all, in this purgatory-like prison, death is commonplace, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
But this pair of Shen Lian father and son was extremely shocking. They knew very well that Wang Si was just an unlucky substitute for the dead, and it should be them who should die.
Shen Lian was still determined, recovered quickly, and sighed lightly: "I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me." ”
Shen Gon's face turned pale and said, "Why did they do this? ”
"Maybe I'm afraid of long nights and dreams." Shen Lian said softly: "Maybe I'm afraid of what my father will say, who knows......"
"If they didn't succeed this time, will they find a way to murder their father again?" Shen Gon said worriedly.
"Whatever, it's a death anyway, it's not the same sooner or later," Shen Lian smiled casually, but he didn't worry about it: "It's you, Gong'er, you have to protect yourself...... Even if you see your father beheaded, you can't be too sad, in short, be cautious in your words and deeds, and everything is to go out. ”
"Daddy......" Shen Gon said with a sad face: "I can't ......"
"What can't?" Shen Lian said sternly: "Remember." For a young person who still has a long way to go, survival is more important than anything else! ”
"Daddy......" Shen Gon said with tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "The child wants to be a person like you." ”
"Don't learn from your father, although your father doesn't regret it, he doesn't want his children to repeat the mistakes of the past." Shen Lian patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you can go out smoothly, tell your two brothers what your father said, as the family motto of our Shen family, you are not allowed to violate it." ”
"Children listen to their fathers!" Shen Gon knelt down on his knees and said solemnly.
"From now on, the children of my Shen family must study the heirloom by farming, but they are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination! Don't even come out as an official! Shen Lian said in a deep voice: "Only in this way can we prosper for a long time, worthy of our ancestors and ancestors, and worthy of the conscience of the people." ”
"Daddy, don't you always educate us to cultivate ourselves and rule the country and level the world?" Shen Gon was puzzled: "But according to what you just said, wouldn't you sweep the snow in front of your door and not ask other people's homes?" ”
"Alas......" Shen Lian sighed tiredly and said, "Maybe Daddy is selfish, but you have to listen to ......" The father and son just said and listened to it, not feeling the passage of time at all, and the sound of the rice spoon hitting the rice bucket sounded again. It was breakfast time.

The moon grew smaller and lighter, but the eastern sky began to turn white.
As the horses galloped, they saw an orange bright spot hanging in the air in the distance, and the knights couldn't help but cheer, because it was the dead wind lantern hanging at the inn.
Soon, you can see the lantern hanging high on the two-zhang flagpole with a big word 'post', and even the outline of the post station is becoming clearer and clearer.
The inn had been ordered to prepare replacement horses, as well as hot water and dry rations, so that they could change horses and hurry as soon as they arrived.
Since yesterday evening, they have not rested once, and they have been walking all night and are highly nervous, and the guards are all tired, but all of them are silent, and there are no emotional fluctuations. This made the guide who wanted to see their jokes secretly surprised, and said that Lord Shen's guards were not ordinary people.
But what surprised him even more was that Lord Shen, a pampered civil official, could still persevere...... Although looking at the stiff movements of him getting on and off the horse, he knew that Lord Shen's inner thighs had been worn out, and his waist was almost tired, but his expression was very calm, and he couldn't see any clues from his face alone.
"My lord, do you want to rest for a while?" The guide asked softly, a little moved.
Shen Mo hissed and asked, "How far have you come?" ”
"Two more stops to the arms." The guide said: "Walk another eighty miles from Huailai to arrive." ”
"What time is it?" Silently asked the post Chengdao.
"If you go back to your lordship, it will take three minutes." Yi Cheng looked at the sky.
"There are still three hours, you have to hurry up......" Shen said in a deep voice: "I'd rather have a break in advance than miss the time because of the rest!" "Three feet and whistle. The guards immediately climbed on their horses and prepared for their departure.
The guide looked at Shen Mo with concern and said, "Are you okay?" ”。
Shen Mo smiled and said, "If you can't do it, you have to do it, lead the way!" ”
"Yes!" As if inspired by his spirit, the guide became a little excited, turned over on his horse, clamped the horse's belly and said, "It's dawn, you have to speed up, keep up!" Before he finished speaking, he slipped out of the smoke.
Silence, they hurried after them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the city of Xuanfu, in the governor's mansion, Yang Shun didn't sleep all night...... I didn't sleep in the first half of the night, waiting for the news that Shen Lian's father and son were poisoned, but in the end, he poisoned others, but let his father and son escape, which disappointed Yang Shun, so he pondered how to do it again. After pondering for a long time, I was a little sleepy, but I didn't know that I waited for the eight hundred miles in Beijing to expedite and sent the reply letter from the Criminal Department.
After this commotion, he couldn't sleep, so Yang Shun simply got dressed and got up, and asked Lu Kai, who lived next door, to call over and figure out what to do.
Lu Kai was called out of the bed. Still sleepy-eyed, after listening to Yang Shun's story, he yawned and said: "Since the palindrome from the Criminal Department has arrived, let's do it according to the rules, so as to save yourself long-winded in the future." ”
"But what if he's noisy?" Yang Shun asked.
"Shut him up." Lu Kai replied nonchalantly.
"It's not difficult, but I've heard," Yang Shun frowned and said, "Then some of Shen Lian's disciples have come to Xuanfu one after another with the young men of Baoan Prefecture, if they openly ask for beheading, will there be chaos?" ”
Lu Kai sobered up at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Handsome." They came just in time! Diao Min is a minority after all, at best there are only two or three hundred people, even the garrison in the city, and your pro-military camp also has thousands of people, are you afraid that they will not succeed in robbing the Dharma field? He explained to Yang Shun: "Originally, the traces of this case were too heavy, and I hope that in the future, the wind direction will change, and someone will overturn the case for them, and then we will be in trouble." He sneered again and said: "Let his disciples rob the law field, that is a felony equivalent to complicity in rebellion, I don't think anyone dares to overturn the case for him again!" ”
Yang Shun suddenly praised and said: "A good move will be calculated!" Just do what you say! "That being said, there is no need to be careless, and if someone really robs it, it will be a big joke.
While there was still time, the two discussed, and finally decided that Lu Kai would come forward to supervise the beheading, and Yang Shun would sit in the rear and respond at any time.
After the discussion was completed, he first sent someone to the crossroads to clean the Dharma field. After breakfast, he ordered the 1,000 soldiers in the pro-barracks, half of whom went to the court to set up defenses, and half of them came to the prison gate with the executioners of the Xuanfu sword.
When the time came, the warden took two pieces of white wood more than two feet long and two inches wide and sent them to the warden, which were the prisoner's cards that were to be inserted behind the death row prisoners.
Lu Kai picked up his pen on one of them and wrote: 'People commit Shen Lian and make false rumors, form a cult, rebel together, and behead him!" On another piece, it was written, 'If a person commits Shen Gon, he will refine his son, and the sin should be sat down and beheaded!' ”
Poor Shen Lian's father and son, they thought that although Yang Shun Lukai retaliated, he would not harm his wife. Those who harm others will eventually have a weak heart. It is not enough to stop punishing him, he has to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and he will stop after all of them, because in the verdict sent to the Criminal Department for review, there is also the name of Shen Gon and Shen Bao.
If it hadn't been for the timely run, their family would have suffered, and now that Shen Gon has thrown himself into the net, Lu Kai will naturally not be polite to him.
When the prison pawn brought the two prisoner cards to the prison, Shen Lian was stunned, and Shen Gon was even more frightened and sifted to the ground. It wasn't until the jailer tied up the father and son, brushed the hair with glue, rolled goose pear horns, and inserted a red silk paper flower in each of them, that Shen Lian woke up and said loudly: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, what does it have to do with my son!" ”
Most of the jailers knew about Shen Lian, and looked at him with some sympathy, but it was no more, what to do! No matter how Shen Lian shouted, he dragged his father and son half up and half in front of the blue-faced sage god case, and each had a bowl of long rest rice and farewell wine.
Shen Lian was still scolding hoarsely, Shen Gon was still limp and couldn't eat or drink, so the jailers pressed them and forcibly poured wine, and then took out two ropes at both ends and a wooden stick in the middle. He put the stick in the mouth of the father and son, and tied the rope tightly around the back of his head, and immediately he was speechless.
forcibly pressed the two of them to resign, and thirty or forty jailers put Shen Lian in front and Shen Gon behind, pushed them out of the prison door, and sent them to the prison car. The five hundred pro-soldiers and the axemen took the people and went out of the governor's palace in a flock and circled the city. Hundreds of people watched and asked who the prisoner was in the car.
Someone looked up at the guilty card and read it out loud, and everyone knew that it was Mr. Shen, who scolded the handsome man, and his son, who couldn't help but look at each other, and the original mood of watching the excitement was all gone...... The people are not blind, they naturally know who is right and who is wrong, and they know who Mr. Shen Lian Shen is talking for!
When the news spread, more people poured out, surrounding the street on their shoulders and backs, and they didn't have any other ideas, they just wanted to send Mr. Shen, who spoke for the people.
The speed of the prisoner cart was very slow, and the executioners standing on both sides were a little uneasy, and used ghost knives to hold the necks of the two of them, if someone wanted to hijack the prisoner cart, they could give him two large heads in the blink of an eye.
An old man with a white beard, as if he was the head of the executioner, saw the scenes along the way, and couldn't help but sigh: "The master has been doing this for 30 years, and he has personally sent away thousands of prisoners, but he has never seen this kind of scene......
The young executioner on the side said: "Yes, there are many thieves who are very lively today." ”
"Blind your dog's eye!" The old man scolded: "Don't you see any difference between today and before? ”。
"It's a little different." Another executioner said: "There are a lot more people, but they are not as noisy as before." ”
"Not bad." The old man nodded and said, "Do you know why?" ”。
"Why?" Several executioners asked together.
"Because it's usually a fun." The old man said solemnly: "Everyone is here to see them off!" As he spoke, he whispered to the two executioners: "Be quick to do the work later, don't make Shen Ye uncomfortable." "The executioner is also knowledgeable in cutting off the head, you can go to a different place with a knife, but you don't even feel it, you can also cut off half of the side with a knife, and connect half of it, so that people can't survive and die...... It's not a matter of craftsmanship, it's a question of having money or not.
But when they saw Qian again, they didn't dare to risk being hated by the whole city to fight Shen Lian's idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fortunately, Xuanfu City is not large, and although the escort procession on the street is moving forward at a rapid pace, it still escorts the prisoner car to the execution ground that has been set up at the intersection of Shicao before noon. The jailers invited the father and son down from the car, turned Shen Lian from the south to the north, and Shen Gon from the north to the south, and sat down with their backs to each other, just waiting for the prison officer to arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon to start the operation.
All the people followed, and surrounded the Dharma field. In the crowd, there were countless pairs of eyes hiding their rage, staring at Shen Lian on the execution table.
The soldiers in charge of the Governor's Mansion were very nervous, and the spears and guns were all aimed at the people watching the execution, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, but it was strangely quiet, as if the moment before the storm.
At last the silence was broken, and there was a commotion at the eastern corner of the street, and countless pairs of eyes looked over, and the crowd surged.
Qianhu, who was in charge of security, was nervous and shouted, "The supervisor is here!" All blocked, come out the other way! The soldiers drove away the people who were occupying the road with the handles of their guns, and shouted: "Stand back! Back off! But the crowd continued to pour forward.
Qianhu Xin said: 'Fortunately, I am well prepared. Then he ordered a hundred soldiers, carrying a bench, standing behind the front-line soldiers, nodding their heads and whipping them with leather whips at the 'Diao Min' who were squeezing hard...... Finally, a passage was opened for Lu Kai and his guards. Let the supervisor squeeze into the court with some embarrassment.
Neatly dressed crookedly, Lu Kai sat behind the temporary prison beheading platform, and before he could even out his breath, he saw a thin man drill through the defense line of the Governor's Palace's personal soldiers, and while running towards him, he shouted loudly: "Wronged, Shen Gong is wronged!" Before he could finish speaking, he was thrown to the ground by the soldiers who followed closely, and he was still struggling there and shouting: "Don't kill Shen Gong, he is wronged!" ”
At this time, someone in the crowd also shouted: "Don't kill Shen Gong, he is wronged!" Immediately after more people shouted, the crowd was suddenly excited, and the tide rushed forward, and it was useless to whip it.
Qianhe, who was in charge of security, was anxious and ordered loudly: "Release!" ”
"Bang bang bang...... Bang bang ......" continued and dense roars, and in the midst of the fire, a cloud of white smoke drifted through, and people checked their bodies in panic to find that no one was injured.
"This time it's towards the sky!" Qianhu threatened the people with the greatest strength: "Whoever has a commotion next time, make sure your head blooms!" But the crowd was still in turmoil, which made the pro-soldiers who maintained order even more nervous, whipping and poking, constantly shouting loudly, and the firecrackers also aimed their guns at the people in the front row, ready to fire at any time.
At the same time, some young people with swords and bows and arrows on their backs had already taken the opportunity to touch the front row...... That was Shen Lian's apprentice in the New Security Sect, these young people who didn't know the height of the sky and the earth, were really ready to rob the Dharma Field!
The two sides were less than six feet apart, and a battle that was enough to destroy countless people was about to begin in the blink of an eye. But at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Kai, waiting for him to drop the fire sign for the execution.
Lu Kai was also waiting, because the time to kill people at three o'clock in the afternoon was predetermined, and it could not be early or late. While waiting, Lu Kai looked up at the sky, but saw that the sky was blue, the sun was hanging high, and the sun was already in the middle of the sky, and slowly walked westward.
"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, execution!" Lu Kai decided to cut through the mess quickly and dropped the fire stick!
The crowd suddenly rioted, and someone took the lead and began to rush in!
Seeing this scene, Lu Kai panicked, and said that this was a riot, so he shouted with all his might: "Quick, kill someone!" ”
The executioners raised their knives, and Shen Lian looked at his son, who was already much better, his eyes full of guilt.
Finally, he turned his gaze to the empty street in the distance, hoping for a miracle to happen......
partition
Sorry, it's been too busy today......
