Chapter 13: Creeps, you're done
The execution of a man in public was not new, as the lord of the city often did it, and in the city of Lenca, he was the pinnacle of power.
This time, however, the executor was replaced, and Barbo, a stocky merchant with a few idle gold coins in his hand, had no background, and did not receive a title from the nobility.
But for the vast majority of people living at the bottom of the city of Lenca, he was noble, because Barbo could use gold coins to get the city guards to help him.
Gold coins are a good thing, and everyone loves them, even the nobles who are high up in the sky.
The news that Gbagbo was going to publicly execute a little girl spread, and soon many people who wanted to see the excitement were rushing to the place of execution.
At this time, a small grocery market in the West End was cleared out of a large open space, and a few thick logs were used to prop up the shelves.
Barbo, with a cold face, was directing his entourage to tie up the little girl, and he cursed incessantly, missing a large piece of his left ear, and blood flowed, and he had to cover it with a towel.
The little girl was none other than Shura, visibly beaten, bruised, and even a little unconscious, her right hand clenched tightly, as if grasping something.
There was a lot of talk among the people around them, and there was no sympathy in their eyes, only curiosity about the next execution.
"Can anyone tell me what the hell she has done?"
"Obviously, she wanted to rob Master Barbo's gold coins, but after being discovered, she didn't give up, and finally bit Lord Barbo's ear. ”
"Is that really the case, I don't think that little girl would have the courage to do such a thing. ”
"Who knows, what is in front of you now is the truth, haven't you noticed that those city guards have acquiesced? ”
"Tie me up. ”
Gbagbo ignored the comments of the people around him, he was in a bad mood, and he only paid a terrible price for being greedy for the coins in Shura's hands.
"Damn little thing. ”
He didn't expect that the other party would be able to break free from the control of his entourage, and he threw himself down like crazy and bit off one of his ears.
Shura was hoisted, and she was already dying, when one of the attendants suddenly brought a huge brazier, and now the people around knew what the punishment was.
"Light the fire for me, hurry!"
Gbagbo can't wait, he wants to let the other party die in pain, or his anger will not be appeased.
"Oh my God, the fire is already burning, and the little girl won't live. ”
"It's a good thing that she hasn't come to her senses yet, otherwise she would have been in more pain. ”
"It's so cruel that I don't dare look at it. ”
"What a poor little girl. ”
Gbagbo's face was hideous, and the more the others were scared, the more excited he became, the burning flame represented all his anger, and he wanted everyone around him to understand what would happen to him if he offended.
Shura, who had been hanging, finally came to her senses, the blazing flames were so close that she had no strength left to swing her legs, in a dying struggle, the expression on her face was completely distorted, and she couldn't make a sound with her mouth open.
At this moment, a young man with a flat face suddenly walked out of the crowd, and he went straight to the brazier and did an extremely simple thing.
Boom!
The huge brazier was kicked away by him, sparks splashed, and the people around him hurriedly dodged.
"Damn, what are you doing!" Barbo roared and rushed to the other man, slamming him straight into the punch.
"What are you doing, didn't you see it!"
The size difference between the two sides was huge, but Mauss caught Barbo with a backhand and kicked him in the belly.
"Ah, shoot him for me. ”
There was a sharp pain in his abdomen, and Barbo trembled all over, and he bent over, his eyes filled with tears.
At this time, several of the retinue he brought with him immediately rushed towards Mus when they heard this, their skills were much better than Barbo's, and they all had a certain amount of force.
The people around them didn't dare to get too close, and they already knew what was going to happen next.
"He's going to be beaten to death. ”
"Is this boy trying to save the little girl? ”
"Forget it, if he escapes now, maybe there's still a chance. ”
Mauss stood firm, the sound of people chattering in his ears, and he did not panic in the slightest in the face of the menacing retinue, as what had happened at his residence last night had confirmed a little.
His own mental power is capable of causing damage to these scum, and he has already used this as a means of attack.
"All, give, me, stop!"
Airplanes!
Suddenly, there was a shout of rage.
The people around him were speechless for an instant, and they all covered their heads and made painful expressions, this voice was so terrible that it went straight to their hearts.
After a brief period of faintness and deafness, fear was written on everyone's faces.
The situation of the retinue was much worse, they had been hit head-on by the shock, and they had not been able to recover until now, barely allowing themselves to stand still.
"Something seems to be wrong over there. ”
"Go check it out. ”
A few city guards not far away walked over slowly, and they all showed a look of ridicule on their faces when they saw the embarrassed Gbagbo.
"My friend, you don't look good, what's wrong, do you want me to help. ”
The city guard who spoke had a look of cruelty, in fact, he had already seen it, but he didn't take Maus to heart.
"You can't seem to do anything with all this garbage. ”
Glancing at the trembling attendants, the city guard walked up to Barbo and taunted.
"Ahem, it looks like the guy needs your help, there's something wrong with this little ghost. Although extremely reluctant, Barbo also saw that something was wrong, and if he didn't find the city guards, he would probably be going to look foreign today.
"Of course no problem, you are my friend, your business is my business, so how are you going to express your gratitude. ”
"Five gold coins. ”
With a satisfied smile on his face and an approving look in his eyes, the guard patted Barbo on the shoulder and walked straight for Maus.
"Get out of the way of your shit, and don't delay me in keeping the law and order. ”
Seeing that the city guards were involved in this matter, the people who watched the excitement did not dare to come out, and even some people were already planning to leave, they didn't want to cause trouble.
"It's a pity that you've me off, tell me about it, little ghost, how are you going to die?"
The city guard asked with a condescending look on his face, for in his opinion, depriving Mus of his life was only a trivial matter.
"Little soldier, I have to tell you, it's going to kill you. Mauss stared at the other and warned indifferently.
"Interesting, it's the best joke I've ever heard, but it's just a joke, go to hell and tell the devil your jokes. ”
Clanging.
The smile on the city guard's face gradually froze, and a sad look appeared in his eyes, and the next moment, he drew his great sword and stabbed it directly at Mus.
"It's over. ”
"It's a pity, it's not worth your life to save people. ”
The people who watched the excitement looked around, and they didn't want to see the scene of blood splashing.
