Yang Chao stood up and spoke at this time: "Commanders, the rebels are still executed. The thief leader Li Qifeng had already been killed in front of the battle, and the thief leader Han Shangliang had fled. Gao Qifeng and Hu Shangyou were captured. These two are military generals, but they took the lead in rebellion, and their crimes are added to the first degree. Come on, bring it down! ”

Yang Chao gave an order, and the four tall and stout executioners beside the two of them immediately pressed the two and dragged them to the center of the execution ground, and tied them to the stone pillar of the archway in front of the City God Temple, just one for each person.

These four executioners are authentic Yangzhou executioners, who have relied on family skills for generations, and they have practiced how to kill people, so the evil spirit on their bodies is no worse than Yang Chao's elite soldiers.

The reason why such a professional executioner was prepared for Gao Qifeng and the others was because Yang Chao's soldiers really couldn't do this punishment, because Yang Chao asked Shi Kefa to sentence them to-

"Master Shi sentenced these two to death!"

Execution, also known as Ling Chi's execution, is commonly known as a thousand cuts.

At this time, when they heard that it was a punishment, the chief soldiers who watched the punishment trembled in their hearts one by one, although they had cut down more than a thousand people just now, but those were just soldiers, but now these two people, a eunuch of the prison army, and a general soldier, are all people all the way, and some rabbits and foxes can't help but be sad and sad, and they feel as if they are tied to the pillar.

"Lord Yang, Lord Shi spares his life. The minion is wrong, and the minion is called a ghost to lose his mind. You have a lot of them, spare the minions, spare the minions. ”

Gao Qifeng was already trembling just now, he was carried by the executioner, there were still wet marks on the road, and he had already urinated.

Hu Shangyou was still a little arrogant at this time.

"You eggless turtle son, don't let his mother cry!"

He loudly scolded Gao Qifeng in a thick Sichuan dialect.

"The crying Lao Tzu is upset, and he can't feel at ease on the road!"

An executioner had already spread out a wallet bag on the ground, which was densely packed with knives and very professional tools.

When Gao Qifeng saw this, he screamed in fright: "Master Shi." Grandpa Shi, Lord Yang, ancestor. Spare your life. ”

And the feces and urine kept flowing down.

As a eunuch, I must have spent time in Beijing. I must have seen the punishment and was deeply frightened.

"Grandpa Gao, don't worry. This Ling Chi is scary, but it doesn't hurt. The small knife is sharpened brightly, and the small one usually practices diligently, and the knife is not crooked. You can go on the road in peace, but don't come back to look for the little one. ”

The executioner said grinding. They had rules in their profession, and they were very polite to those who were executed, and patiently reassured them, for fear that the ghosts would come back to seek revenge on them.

"Also, this injustice has a debtor and a master, and it is better not to avenge your revenge. It is the law that kills you, not the people, and you cannot be retribution. ”

As the executioner spoke, he had already taken out the knife, and he wanted to take Gao Qifeng first.

"Good brother. You give our family a good time, give our family a good time! ”

Gao Qifeng finally stopped begging for life, but for a happy death.

But the executioner ignored it. Thousands of people untied Gao Qifeng's clothes, and a thin and curved Xueliang knife just put it on Gao Qifeng's chest, he suddenly snorted, and his head tilted and fainted.

Since the executioner showed off the knife, Hu Shangyou stopped shouting, and began to stare at the executioner with heavy breathing, and saw that the executioner went to execute Gao Qifeng first, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly Gao Qifeng fainted. Hu Shangyou's face twitched, and he secretly said in his heart that this is fine. I shouldn't feel the pain, this eunuch who has no eggs is lucky. Our old Hu can't be scared, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer more pain.

The executioner slapped Gao Qifeng hard, but he woke up no matter what, and he slowly felt Gao Qifeng's body cold, and he was scared to death.

The reason why Ling Chi's execution is called a thousand knives is that it must be cut enough for a thousand knives, and if a thousand knives died before, it means that the executioner is derelict in his duties.

Seeing this, the executioner couldn't help but sigh unlucky, and immediately ran over and knelt in front of Shi Kefa.

"Master Shi, that Gao Gonggong was scared to death, this is not to blame the villain, not to blame the villain."

Shi Kefa sighed, as if he felt that Ling Chi Gao Qifeng had made him breathe a sigh of relief, and raised his hand.

"The Governor knows. Go ahead with the execution. ”

Only then did the executioner get up and walk towards Hu Shangyou.

At this time, Hu Shangyou suddenly felt frightened, couldn't hold on any longer, and began to scold hysterically.

He didn't scold Shi Kefa, but scolded Yang Chao.

"Yang Chao, Lao Tzu knows that this is all your idea, and Lao Tzu will not let it go if he is a ghost. You are a communiqué personal vendetta, Lao Tzu is not convinced! ”

Yang Chao stood beside Shi Kefa, just saw Gao Qifeng scared to death, but he didn't care, and soon heard Hu Shangyou scolding himself, and shouted disconvinced.

Unexpectedly, they still didn't admit their guilt, and they dared to quibble, Yang Chao had the intention to let him understand the death, or let the general soldiers who watched the punishment see and listen to it, so they walked down.

"What are you dissatisfied with?"

Yang Chao asked loudly, and when he saw Yang Chao asking, the executioner temporarily stopped the execution and stood aside to watch.

Hu Shangyou still has any scruples at this time, and his eyes are about to split: "Yang Chao, you dog thief!" Lao Tzu didn't want to take Shi Inspector, Lao Tzu just went out of the city with Li Qifeng, what's wrong with this, you let people sneak attack us, and arrest Lao Tzu to be punished, you can't die well! ”

Yang Chao sneered: "Out of the city? Let's say it lightly! Why did you go out of town? Is there a military order? ”

Hu Shangyou snorted coldly: "What can't be said about this, what if Lao Tzu goes out of the city to vote for Tartars?" Good birds choose trees to perch, and Lao Tzu is not afraid to say it. Lao Tzu wants to see how long you can hold out when the Tartars attack the city. Lao Tzu is waiting for you on the Nai He Bridge to see if you are killed by the Tartars, or as Lao Tzu thought, surrender to the Tartars and become a big official! ”

Yang Chao snorted coldly: "I heard it." This dog thief himself said that he was going to go to the tartars, and my country has strict laws, and all rebellions will be punished. Master Shi is wise and martial, and there will be no mistake in his judgment! ”

Yang Chao said this to the other general soldiers.

Hu Shangyou snorted coldly: "Okay." Today, Lao Tzu has violated the law of the country, and he has committed it in the hands of your turtle son, and Lao Tzu has nothing to say. Lao Tzu depends on whether your turtle son can not surrender, and whether your subordinates can not surrender. If it's your men who are committing the crime today, let's see if you will let people scrape them alive. ”

Yang Chao sneered, he didn't look at Hu Shangyou anymore, and as soon as he gave the order to be executed, he turned his head to lecture the other general soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Yang Chao, have three chapters of the law with you today. Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed, anyone who escapes will be beheaded, and whoever plunders will be executed all the way. If any of you dare to take a step back, I will kill him. But if I take a step back, any of you can kill me. Me and my people will never retreat. But you don't have to worry about the Tartars, Benjue's elite soldiers are already on the way, more than ten days, as little as three or five days, you can come, as soon as the soldiers arrive, then Benjue will take you to kill the Tartars! ”

The three chapters of the covenant, coupled with the ten-day promise, made all the general soldiers hopeful, at this time they heard Hu Shangyou's howl, Ling Chi began, although they felt related, this group of officers looked at it with great curiosity at this time, and no one thought of leaving.

When they finished reading it, their psychology was mixed, there was fear, excitement, and a trace of excitement, and at this time, when they looked at the positions of Yang Chao and Shi Kefa, there was no one for a long time.

After that, the executioner hung Gao Qifeng, who was scared to death, and Hu Shangyou, who was left with a skeleton and a complete head, and told these general soldiers that it was ordered by Yang Chao, and that Hu Shangyou and Gao Qifeng should watch it carefully to see if Yang Chao would surrender.

At this time, many people saw the skeleton of Hu Shangyou fluttering in the wind, as well as the blood and water in one place, a gust of wind blew, and the bloody breath rushed to the nose, and at the same time made people feel a chill, and couldn't help but shiver.

As soon as these people went back, they found that Yang Chao's men were pushing trolleys one by one, with full heads of people on them, slowly walking across the city wall, and striking gongs as they walked.

"Inspector Shi has an order, and those who leave their posts without permission will be killed!"

"Inspector Shi has an order, those who escape from the battle will be killed!"

"Shi Inspector has an order, and the arsonists and looters will be killed!"

"Inspector Shi has an order, those who rebel and defect to the enemy will be killed!"

The general soldiers ignored Yang Chao's soldiers, but lowered their heads, pretending not to see them, and after they walked by, they glanced at their backs in a complicated way, and then gave a lecture to their subordinates, telling them to be more restrained!

scraped Hu Shangyou alive, scared Gao Qifeng to death, and beheaded Li Qifeng.

Fiercely braked the crooked wind in the city, and after a day he never heard of the soldiers looting the people.

Coupled with Shi Kefa's Anmin notice, the common people knew that Shi Daren had killed a few people, and they liked to watch the excitement one after another, and saw Gao Qifeng hanging on the archway of the City God Temple, especially Hu Shangyou, who was like a skeleton, and the people also felt cold from the bottom of their hearts, but they also felt a sense of security at the same time.

It's just that those really well-informed salt merchants and gentry know that it is Yang Chao who really wields the power of life and killing, and everything is just done by Yang Chao in the name of Shi Kefa, in order to deter the soldiers and ruffians in the city, but whether it is the upper-class people who know the truth or the ordinary people who don't know the truth, they are very satisfied at this time.

Even Shi Kefa himself regained his confidence and began to make frequent appearances, pacifying the people, inspecting the city defenses, encouraging soldiers, etc.

Everything seems to be developing in a good direction, but Yang Chao has never been careless, before the arrival of his own reinforcements, Yang Chao has always felt that he cannot completely control the situation, and the army that has been brutally suppressed is like a barrel of critical explosive gunpowder, a spark can be ignited.

But the reinforcements were still far away, and even after the captives began to besiege the city, not even the slightest news could be conveyed.

According to the time estimate, Wang Pu should be there, at least halfway through.

So intellectually, Yang Chao felt that the situation was still under control, but he was faintly uneasy in his heart. (To be continued)
