Chao Gai lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, since although things have changed, the Li Tianyan brothers should be saved and saved, and after a hard trip, Master Deng will immediately go to Fenghu Mountain to inform Brother Shibao, and let him immediately take people down the mountain, blend into the city, and prepare to rob the Dharma field in three days."

"In addition, let Brother Shi Bao send people along the road to the north to find reinforcements from Yuncheng County, let them hurry over to respond, the enemy is outnumbered, it will be a bloody battle in three days, I want Shi Bao to tell his brothers, let them be mentally prepared, pay attention to confidentiality, so as not to leak the news, then we will fall short."

"Okay, the poor monk will go." Deng Yuanjue nodded, didn't dare to delay, carried a Zen stick, went out of the house, took the horses at the moment, turned over the horses, and went directly out of the city to Fenghu Mountain.

After Deng Yuanjue left, Chao Gai sighed, and said in his heart that it would definitely be a bloody battle in three days.

Three days passed in a flash, Shi Bao ordered one hundred and twenty sturdy minions on the mountain, each with a blade, and entered Jingzhou City in five batches, each looking for a place to settle down, just waiting for the day of execution. The night before, Chao Gai, Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao, Mi Sheng four people discussed what should be done tomorrow, Chao Gai, Shi Bao, Mi Sheng led a hundred brothers to ambush at the entrance of the vegetable market, just waiting to rescue Li Tianyan, Deng Yuanjue led twenty minions to seize the east gate, opened the way to retreat, the discussion was over, and they went back to rest.

Early the next morning, the messenger of the prefect's yamen arrived at the prison, and the messenger of the prefect's yamen was not allowed to enter the prison to directly bring out the prisoners, and the jailers in the prison brought out the condemned prisoners, and then handed over the prisoners to the yamen messengers at the gate of the prison.

The cell leader's surname is Ma San, and he learned the news on the first day, and early this morning, he saw the messenger from the yamen coming to get people, so he took two jailers to the prison, Li Tianyan's cell was in the innermost, and when he came to the door of the cell, someone opened the lock on the door, and Ma San walked in.

"Li Dalang, congratulations to you." Ma Sanyi went in and said a word of congratulations to you with a pleasant face, this is a sentence that the jailer said before the execution of the condemned prisoner, which means that you are congratulated on your liberation and do not have to suffer from prison.

Li Tianyan was unkempt, stood up when he heard the words, dusted off the soil on his body, and said, "Hmph, Tongxi."

"No, no, no, you like it, we don't like it, please Dalang." Ma San hurriedly shook his head, and then followed Li Tianyan to say.

The two jailers escorted Li Tianyan out of the cell, pushed and shoved him to the door of the prison, handed over the prisoner to the messenger at the yamen, and handcuffed the chains to Li Tianyan's body, and escorted him to the prefect's yamen.

Came to the entrance of the yamen, the prefect Fan Shiqi and the general judge Jiang Boyuan had been waiting for a long time, surrounded by the third class of the fast soap, Fan Shiqi sat on the lobby, the general judge stood next to him, Fan Shiqi slapped the hall and shouted: "Come on, bring the murderer Li Tianyan up."

In ancient times, there were many types of people who served in the yamen, each performing its own duties, and there were specific divisions between the inner class and the outer class: the inner class served in the yamen, such as the menzi and the attendants; There are also "three classes" such as strong class, soap class, and fast class, as well as poor food and work. They are all recruited from the private market and are compulsory in the nature of professional service. Some fathers and sons have been in service for generations; Some of them were temporarily mobilized, but they were still reinstated as citizens after the matter was completed. There are also differences in their status. In the Qing system, all the people who served in the yamen, except for Kuding, Dou Rank, and Minzhuang, were still listed in Qi Min, and their soap li, fast horses, fast steps, small horses, janitors, menzi, archers, servants, poor food, and patrol and capture camp service were all lowly servants.

The book returned to the main story, Fan Shiqi shouted, and there were four poor people outside who brought Li Tianyan to the court, Fan Shiqi didn't talk nonsense with him, and immediately picked up the pen on the bookcase, this pen also has regulations, it must be a new pen that has not been used, and there is cinnabar mixed with tea next to it, Fan Shiqi took the brush and dipped it in cinnabar ink, and said: "Prisoner Li Tianyan."

"It's your grandfather." Li Tianyan glared at Fan Shiqi in the hall fiercely and said.

"Hmph, you're still hard-mouthed when you're dying." After Li Tianyan answered, Fan Shiqi took a pen and drew a circle on the bamboo stick with Li Tianyan's name written on it.

Only when the prefect calls the name of the prisoner and the prisoner agrees, the cinnabar pen can fall, proving that the prisoner is here, and the prisoner to be executed is the one under the hall, so that he can retreat to the entrance of the vegetable market to ask for a knife, but sometimes the prisoner does not agree, and the official next to him will help to agree, which is a formal thing.

After Fan Shiqi's cinnabar pen fell, he shook his hand and threw the pen on the ground in the lobby. But as long as the cinnabar pen falls to the ground, everyone will go up to grab it, it is said that whoever has a child, then this pen is enlightened, and can be the champion when he grows up.

After it was done, someone came over and tied Li Tianyan five flowers, this is a special binding method for kidnapping prisoners, there is a flower on each of the two elbows, a flower on one side of the shoulder, and a flower on the back of the neck, this is five flowers, called the five flowers are tied, and the bamboo stick with Li Tianyan's name is inserted behind the back, and then he rushed to the entrance of the vegetable market.

Out of the yamen of the official mansion, Li Tianyan was escorted to the prisoner car, and at the front was a group of officers and soldiers, riding tall horses, holding spears in their hands, and then a group of infantry, holding knives and guns.

After that, there was the prisoner car escorted by the government officials, and then there were a large number of officers and soldiers, about more than 200 people, and the palanquin of the prefect Fan Shiqi was clustered in the middle, and on both sides were the general judge Xiao Zhuge Jiang Boyuan and the capital supervisor Golden Knife Marshal Ge Tianba.

The prefect Fan Shiqi sat on the prison platform, next to the general judge Jiang Boyuan and the commander of the golden knife Ge Tianba, surrounded by the people who watched the excitement, crowded and bustling.

"My lord, the time has come, but it's a pity that the execution has been carried out, in case there are too many dreams at night." Little Zhuge Jiang Boyuan looked at the sky, and then leaned over to the prefect Fan Shiqi and said.

Fan Shiqi nodded, then took the arrow on the table in his hand, stood up, looked around for a week, and said loudly: "The hour is coming, the execution."

The prefect gave an order, and the executioner, who had been prepared in a red suit for a long time next to him, took a big sip of the wine bowl, and then slammed the ghost head knife in his hand.

After doing this, the executioner stood behind Li Tianyan, raised the ghost head broadsword in his hand high, and the green tendons on his head burst out, and he was about to fall down and slash towards Li Tianyan's neck.

Li Tianyan closed his eyes, his heart was finished, I Li Tianyan has been bright and upright all my life, and I am going to explain here today, okay, my head has fallen off but there is a big scar in the bowl, eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again, thinking of this heart, I stretched my head out, ready to die.
