When Jiang Long's verdict reached Chang Qian's ears, Chang Qian was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

This is not to save face for the Chang family at all!

When Xia Lin heard it, his face was calm and silent.

That night, Chang Qian barely slept all night.

First, he was extremely angry, eager to smoke Jianglong's tendons and pick Jianglong's skin.

The second is that there are no guards around him, only a group of maids-in-law, who have no sense of security, and always feel that someone is secretly trying to harm him.

Xia Lin had already hidden in Wangsha County early.

Jiang Long fell out with Chang Qian, and he knew that he had no way to mediate in it.

You can't hide from it.

Peace of mind, and if there are any consequences in the future, he can also shirk it.

Whether it is the second prince Cheng Guifei or the Chang family, he can't blame him.

He didn't show up when something happened!

Although he knew the way, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he deliberately avoided it.

But this reason can still be used.

At noon the next day, the weather was clear, and the sun shone on the earth, driving away the slightest bit of cold, so that the temperature was not too low.

The north wind is not strong, and it blows on the face, and it is rare that it is not as uncomfortable as a knife cut.

Not far from the West City Gate, there is a wooden table, Jiang Long sits behind the table, and there are errand servants standing around, this is the place where death row prisoners are always executed in Lingtong County.

Five or six meters ahead, a mound of earth was piled high.

On the mound, there were five big men kneeling, who were the guards of the Chang family who beat the dead very hard.

The five people were tied up with wooden sticks stuck behind their backs.

The signature has a name written on it, and there is a big chop!

The five of them were all frightened in their eyes at the moment, and their faces were pale.

From time to time, he would glance in the direction of the city gate, expecting Chang Qian to appear.

Directly in front of the high platform, it was crowded with people watching the excitement.

When the sun rose high in the sky, Jiang Long reached out and picked up the order stick, his face was cold, and he threw the order sign to the ground, "The time is up, slash!" ”

"Yes!" A burly man with a ghost-headed knife in his hand strode onto the high platform.

This big man is the one who carried out the execution.

Killing people is not an easy thing to do.

Ordinary people don't dare to kill people at all.

The executioners are all bold and ruthless people, they are used to killing criminals, and they no longer have the slightest fear and psychological shadow.

Under normal circumstances, the yamen would have a certain number of executioners.

These people have a monthly rule, and if they kill a prisoner one day, they will get some more reward.

In Lingtong County, there are a total of three executioners.

It is the turn to kill people on stage.

Today's executioner was lucky, he could kill five people at a time.

The reward is based on the number of heads.

The executioner is tall and burly, and the ghost head knife in his hand is three feet long and half a foot wide, and the appearance is hideous and terrifying.

So the five prisoners just glanced at the executioner from the corner of their eyes, but they were too frightened to look at it again.

At this moment, the executioner strode closer, and the five men trembled with fright, their teeth chattering.

Under the strict management of Jiang Long, the homicide rate in Lingtong County is not high, so although the executioner is majestic and terrifying, it is not too bloody.

The executioners in some big cities killed so many people that just a glance at them could frighten children into not being able to sleep at night.

That's the real butcher, murderous.

In terms of the bloody qi on the body, the only ones who can be compared with it are those old sergeants who are stationed at the border gates and have been on the battlefield all year round.

The executioner reached out and pulled out the wooden stick tied to the attendant kneeling on the far left.

Toss aside.

Then he spat on the palm of his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, there will be no pain!" ”

That smile was in the sun, but it was chilling.

Then he raised the hideous ghost head knife with both hands and slashed it down in an instant.

Burst!

The blade was sharp, and it cut off the head of the attendant in an instant.

Before the entourage could react, his head rolled to the side.

At the neck, a column of blood erupted.

"Ahh

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, many of whom were coming for the first time, some of them were frightened.

There was a lot of commotion for a while.

More people raised their hands and pointed at the dead retinue, and there was a sigh of voice.

"Dead, dead."

"The head was cut off."

"The blood spurted far away."

"What's that, last time that prisoner was tall and fat, and the blood was only far away."

"Which of these five people has the blood that spurts far?"

"I guess the one on the far right."

The death of his companion and the discussion of the people under the high platform made the remaining four followers break down and beg for mercy loudly.

"Don't kill me!"

"Please don't kill me!"

"Save Lord Jing, be gracious!"

"I know I'm wrong!"

One by one, they kowtowed one after another, their heads were bruised, and their noses were runny.

Jiang Long didn't even look at these people.

Now that Zhilu is wrong, why is he so arrogant when he kills people?

The remaining four people were emotional, their bodies were moving dishonestly, there was no way, a few messengers stepped forward and pressed the four of them to the ground.

The executioner held a ghost-headed knife and chopped off the heads of the four people one after another.

The guards of the Chang family who were arrested were all escorted to watch the execution today.

The death of the five companions made them pale, and they no longer dared to have the slightest arrogance.

Especially the ten entourages who also participated in the killing of the people, their legs and stomachs were even weaker, for fear that Jiang Long would give an order in the next moment, and let the officials put them on the guillotine.

Some of the servants took broken straw mats, rolled up the bodies of five people at random, carried them to the depths of the grassland, dug a pit and buried them in a hurry.

After the execution, Jiang Long took the officials back to the city first.

Most of the onlookers stood and chatted for a while before turning back into the city.

Because of the strict management of Lingtong County and the homicide rate is not high, the people talk about this kind of thing about cutting off the heads of criminals, and this time it is enough for the people to talk for a while.

There are many people who pay attention, so the whole thing has been widely spread within a few days.

As a result, Chang Qian's image in the minds of the people of Lingtong County fell to the ground in an instant.

Jiang Long thought that after making a heavy hand and shocking Chang Qian and the Chang family's entourage, he should be able to calmly wait for the day when the river water will be diverted into the river.

But not long after he didn't want to return to the county office, he received a letter asking for help.

This letter was sent by the county magistrate of Lingtong County, Hewu County.

Opening the letter, Jiang Long roughly browsed it.

The content is very simple, recently a group of horse bandits and a few small groups of alien armies have often invaded the villages and towns in Hewu County.

The county magistrate of Hewu County sent someone to Wangshacheng for help, but he did not wait for a reply.

Jiang Long closed the letter and put it on the table.

It should be that it will cool down again soon, and the horse bandits and the alien army will come out to loot a few more grains to survive the winter while they can still move.

Now in Wangsha County, in terms of which county is the richest, it is undoubtedly Lingtong County.

But those horse bandits and small tribes of foreign races did not have the courage to come.

There are hundreds of thousands of people here alone.

Even a shovel can smash those bandits and small troops into raw pulp.

It can be said that the number of people is less than 5,000, and there is no way to help Lingtong County.

And if Jianglong gathers all the people into the city to hold on, then without more than 20,000 troops, it will not be able to capture Lingtong County at all.

The surrounding horse bandits and small tribes of different races, unless they want to die, they will not do such stupid things.

Hewu County is relatively wealthy in Wangsha County.

Because there is a small tributary of the Hunhe River that flows through Hewu County, although the amount of water is not large, it can also irrigate tens of thousands of acres of fertile land on both sides of the tributary.

Approaching the winter, the temperature drops down greatly, and the horse bandits and the small tribes of different races have to rob the grain first.

You have to be able to survive this winter.

Instead, gold and silver were placed in second place.

Jiang Long called the messenger to the front and asked him in detail.

The officer's face was full of anxiety, and it was obvious that the situation in Hewu County was not good now.

The matter was bigger, Jiang Long did not slack off, and ordered someone to immediately go and find He Bu.

When He didn't know what had happened, his eyes lit up, "Although those sergeants from the Minzhuang and Inspection Division have been trained by me for several months, they have not really been on the battlefield after all, so I just took this opportunity to use them for training." ”

Jiang Long thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said, "Then there is Mr. Lao He, personally lead the troops to relieve the siege of Hewu County." ”

"No problem!" Why not nod happily.

On that day, why not summon the sergeants of Minzhuang and the Inspection Division, and let them go home today to make it clear to their families that they will go to Hewu County tomorrow.

When they heard that they were going to go through war, some of these people were worried and some were excited.

It is dangerous to go to the battlefield, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

But at the same time, it is also a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions and make money.

If you cut off the heads of horse bandits and alien soldiers, you can ask the court for money.

The next day, why not set off with the team.

In addition to these people and sergeants, there was also an additional contingent of prisoners.

All the guards and retinues of the Chang family are among them.

These people still have some skills, otherwise they can't protect their masters, and the Chang family can't support them in vain.

When Chang Qian got the news, he was very angry.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

On the side of Hewu County, why not send people to deliver news from time to time, and everything is going well.

A detachment of thirty-five horse bandits has been eliminated.

After driving a few more alien squads away, you can turn back.

And here in Lingtong County, there are also important things to do.

That is, the river channel has finally been dug and can be brought in to the water of the Hunhe River.

Early in the morning, Jiang Long wrapped in thick cotton clothes and fur, came to the downstream of the Hunhe River early.

The matter was so important that Jiang Long did not dare to immediately order the digging of the embankment.

Instead, he discussed with Cheng Ze and Xiao Fan seriously for a long time, and he was 100% sure that he ordered the people to excavate.

The people carefully dug up the little dirt that was left downstream.

Then the river poured in.

Jiang Long and the others rode horses and followed the river.

Because this is a plain area, the terrain is not much different, so the river flows all the way upstream.

When the river stopped, I found that the river was only three feet high from the shore.

Jiang Long then ordered the excavation.

After an hour, all the dirt was finally dug up.

This is not easy to dig because when the upper layer of soil is dug up, the water flows in, and the bottom soil has to be dug up.

It's winter again, and you can't go into the water.

Therefore, it is dug with a special shovel, which is more laborious and time-consuming.

The river flows in from the upstream and then flows out from the downstream.

After the time of a pillar of incense has passed, there is still no abnormality.

Successfully diverted the water of the Hunhe River into the river.
