Xishikou is located next to the grassland gate in the west of Changsha, and the soldiers of the wing hall will clean up the Xishikou early in the morning and set up a simple wooden platform. On all the streets leading to the entrance of the West Market, there are winged palace soldiers in yellow vests and blue piping uniforms on duty, and the streets are crowded with onlookers.

Shi Dakai yesterday released the news of the beheading of the demon governor and the political envoy at three o'clock in the afternoon today to the whole city, and heard that the governor and the political envoy were going to be beheaded.

When Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er rode their horses to the execution ground, Xiao Yungui felt a little regretful in his heart, he knew that the crowd was so turbulent, should everyone who watched the excitement charge a penny for admission?

The Xiwang couple had just arrived at the entrance of the West Market, and Shi Dakai had already brought someone to greet him, and after hurriedly greeting him, Xiao Yungui smiled and said: "Da Brother's work is to act vigorously and resolutely, and such a major event as killing the demon governor should be well publicized, so that the people of the city will know our determination to kill the dog and rebel." ”

Shi Dakai bowed slightly and said: "The junior brother is still afraid that there will be more people watching, and there will be chaos, so a large number of card knife players are present." ”

Xiao Yungui pulled Shi Da to walk towards the prison beheading case arranged on the wooden platform, and said: "This is still necessary, if it is really to see the killing of the demon governor, what are the casualties of the people in the stampede, then the gains outweigh the losses." ”

After arriving at the Mutai Prison Case, Xiao Yungui ordered someone to move two pestles, sat with Hong Yun'er and sat aside, and signaled Shi Dakai to still sit in the first place in the case. Shi Dakai was not hypocritical, so he sat down by himself, and when he saw that the hour was still early, he ordered Luo Bingzhang and Weng Tongjue to be taken out of the prison, put the two in the prisoner car, and parade through the main streets of the city for a while, and then take them to Xishikou for execution.

Because in front of everyone, Xiao Yungui restrained a lot, put on a majestic appearance, and sat upright, but after sitting for a while, he felt bored.

couldn't help but turn her head to look at Hong Yun'er, only to see that although her face was still a little pale, she seemed to be much calmer than just now, "Four-eyed sister, speaking of which, you have also been on the battlefield and killed people, will Weishenme be afraid?" ”

Seeing Xiao Yungui's serious appearance, he turned slightly sideways and whispered to himself, and tried to maintain that kind of style, Hong Yun'er couldn't help but want to laugh, and suddenly the heavy thing in her heart disappeared, "On the battlefield, it's for myself to live, different from this kind of killing, in fact, I'm not afraid, but a little unbearable, I can't bear to kill an old man who has no ability to resist." Also, in fact, before Luo Bingzhang did not encircle and suppress the Taiping Army in the early stage, he was still a good official, he inspected the treasury of the Ministry of Officials, meticulously, without touching at all, and his official reputation was still good. ”

Xiao Yungui sighed softly and said lightly: "Luo Bingzhang is indeed old, and his fifties are already the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. But four-eyed sister, have you thought about it, why is Luo Bingzhang not greedy for Chakuyin? He is in order to keep his official position, and it is this kind of talent who is the most terrifying. Now that he has burned down the official warehouse and refused to let us get a grain of grain, it shows that he is ruthless, and he must die. Saying that, Xiao Yungui pointed to the surging people in the audience and said: "If you look at the people below, you won't feel scared, it's not that we want him to die, but what the people want." ”

Hong Yun'er felt a little relieved in her heart, and smiled slightly between the flashes of her bright eyes: "Xiexie, you explain." ”

Xiao Yungui was attracted by her beautiful appearance, was slightly stunned, turned his head and said, "Put away your pity, you let me come to see, in fact, you should see it." ”

Hong Yun'er knew what he meant, fighting on the battlefield, she Hong Yun'er was used to it, but now she was going to kill someone who had already been taken prisoner, and Luo Bingzhang and Weng Tongjue were very old, she really couldn't be ruthless. So Hong Yun'er forced herself to watch the punishment, she wanted to make herself stronger. …,

Xiao Yungui said it easily, but he was also beating a drum in his heart, but in front of Hong Yun'er, he would not show the slightest weakness, this seemed to be the nature of men. But when the prisoner car holding Luo Bingzhang and Weng Tongjue arrived at the execution ground one after another, Xiao Yungui's fists couldn't help but clench tightly.

At this time, Luo Bingzhang and Weng Tongjue's hair was scattered, and their heads were full of mud marks. I saw that both of them were stuck on the splint of the prisoner car, and their feet could only stand on tiptoe so as not to suffocate their necks stuck in the shackles, and their eyes were full of despair, which was the despair of dying people, complete despair.

When several Taiping Army swordsmen escorted Luo Bingzhang and Weng Tongjue to the high platform, the people in the audience erupted in thunderous cheers and curses, "Kill these two dog officials!" "Kill the dog officer!"

No one had mercy on the two, maybe some of the big families in the crowd who came to watch would have mercy, but no one dared to show it. In the curses and cheers of the earth-shaking steps, Luo Bingzhang stood up tremblingly, took a deep look at the people, took a deep breath and said loudly: "Luo Mou thanks all the villagers and elders, in the years of being an official in Hunan, thank you Xianghu fathers and elders for taking care of you, but Luo Mou was derelict in guarding the land, causing you to fall into the hands of thieves, and Luo Mou is here to apologize." ”

Xiao Yungui couldn't imagine that this Luo Bingzhang could still say such tough words, and for a while, his anger rushed upward, and there was no pity in his heart, so he stood up with a bang, pointed at Luo Bingzhang and sneered and shouted: "Luo Bingzhang!" You open the dog's eyes and see clearly, kill you today, the people of the city are all applauding, put away your face, if you want to do it, just do it to your master, Emperor Xianfeng Dog! ”

Xiao Yungui's voice was loud, and as soon as the words fell, all the Taiping soldiers and the people in the audience shouted loudly.

Xiao Yungui walked up to Luo Bingzhang, looked at him coldly and whispered: "Not only do I want you to die, but my generals and the people of the city all want you to die, and even Xianfeng, who is far away in the capital, also wants you to die!" See for yourself! After that, Xiao Yungui unfolded Zhang Liangji's reply to Luo Bingzhang.

Luo Bingzhang couldn't help the old tears, slowly knelt down, bowed three times facing the north, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, the old minister knows the will, and he will be loyal to the Festival of Death and live up to the grace of God!" ”

Xiao Yungui put away the letter, glanced at Luo Bingzhang who was kneeling on the ground with disdain, and said: "You are a slave of the Manchurians in this life, and in the next life, there are many traitors like you who don't know your ancestors among our Han Chinese, so you can suffer such humiliation, you go down to the underworld first and prepare to welcome your master, and I will send your emperor down to reunite with you later!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Yungui turned his head back to his seat and sat down, let go of the three soul chasing cannons, Shi Dakaizhi ordered to cut the card sign, and shouted loudly: "The time has come, by the order of the Heavenly Father Emperor God, kill the Qing Demon Luo Bingzhang and Weng Tongjue!" ”

Luo Bingzhang hahadaxiao got up, and Weng Tongjue was so frightened that he fainted on the stage, only to see Luo Bingzhang pointing at Xiao Yungui and Shi Dakai with a hideous face and saying: "You killed me in this life, do you know that I won't kill you in the next life?!" ”

Xiao Yungui only felt a chill down his spine when he heard it, and it was right to think about it, in another time and space, Xiao Chaogui died in Changsha guarded by Luo Bingzhang, and Shi Dakai also died at the hands of Luo Bingzhang, is this what Buddhism calls revenge?

The cold light flashed, Luo Bingzhang's laughter stopped abruptly, a head rolled out of the distance, Xiao Yungui stood up, looked at Luo Bingzhang's still unclosed head, and said to himself coldly: "In this life, I killed you, and I also avenged our previous life!" Then he turned his head to Shi Dakai and said loudly: "Order the heads of the two Qing Demons to the whole city!" Seven days later, I will send someone to return it to Zhang Liangji! With that, he waved his scarlet cloak, turned around and walked away. …,

Hong Yun'er followed silently, she was also taken aback by Luo Bingzhang's curse words, she also knew that Xiao Shi and the others in history were counted as if they really died at the hands of Luo Bingzhang, could it be that his curse was fulfilled in the time and space where he was? If so, it's a mystery.

The night was deeper, and it was even deeper, but the Taiping army camp on Miao Peak was still a busy scene. Many red-turbaned Taiping troops are still digging trenches and building fortifications.

The big tent of the king of the west in the camp was brightly lit, the chopping wood in the brazier was burning vigorously, and ten steps outside the camp, a large number of the king of the west's personal guard swordsmen were waiting with knives, and no one was allowed to approach.

Xiao Yungui sat in the first place in the tent, next to Hong Yun'er, and on both sides were the generals under the King of the West, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Ji Wenyuan, Zhu Xineng, Zeng Shuiyuan, Li Yiwen, Lin Qirong, Tang Erniu, and at the end there were two and a half children, Chen Picheng and Tan Shaoguang. The generals came to gather tonight on the order of the king of the west, knowing that the king of the west must have something important to discuss, but they didn't understand why the king of the west wanted to call Chen Picheng and Tan Shaoguang's two children.

Xiao Yungui lit the dry tobacco pouch, took two puffs, looked at the generals below, and said slowly: "You brothers are all old brothers who have been killed all the way from Guangxi with this king, and you have been charging forward with this king, it is really hard brothers and gentlemen." ”

The generals didn't understand why Xiao Yungui suddenly said this, Lin Fengxiang got up and hugged his fists and said: "Why did His Royal Highness the King of the West say this, it is a blessing for me to be able to fight with the King of the West to clear the demon." The generals echoed their words.

Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "This king received news this evening, the army of the Heavenly King and the Eastern King has arrived in Liling, and it will come tomorrow." ”

The generals were very happy when they heard this, Xiao Yungui frowned slightly: "But the Qing Demon Xiangrong, He Chun, Jiang Zhongyuan, and Qin Ding are also following behind, and tomorrow in addition to receiving the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly King and the East King into the city, we may have to fight a tough battle with the Qing Demon!" ”

All the generals were not afraid, and they all stood up and asked for battle.

Xiao Yungui waved his hand to signal the generals to sit down, and then said: "This king wants to rely on Miao Fengfeng, Tianxin Pavilion in the south of the city, Aoshan Temple and other places to block the Qing demon, what do you think?" ”

Li Kaifang stood up and said: "The Qing Demon is coming, I must first seek to gain a firm foothold, and I will not attack my camp first, the junior brother thinks that we should take advantage of the new arrival of the Qing Demon and the unstable foothold to raid the Qing Demon, so that the Qing Demon does not dare to get too close." ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "What Kaifang said is very true, tomorrow let Feng Xiang and Kaifang lead 3,000 people with this king to meet the king of heaven and the king of the east, and raid the Qing demon, and the rest of the generals will step up their fortifications, Ji Wenyuan and Zhu Xineng will rush to build the Yuelu Mountain camp tomorrow, and the pontoon bridge has just been built, so we must pay attention to protecting it, but don't let the Qing demon burn." ”

The generals suddenly received the order, and after finishing the military, Xiao Yungui signaled the generals to retreat first, and only ordered Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to stay.
