Li Lianqiao lived in the garden of a rice merchant in Tanzhou, and Xu Yongzhi was a prisoner under his personal care, right next door to her.

When she is fine, she likes to go in to see Xu Yongzhi, stimulate him, watch his various reactions, and feel happy for his anger and chagrin.

More often than not, she is in the big bed in her room, sleeping, smoking mandalas, drinking, and playing with cats.

Manipulating someone else's life, the very fact is exciting enough.

The night before the execution, she called Yu Zhirang, Zhou Zhuocheng and Li Sigui to her bedroom for a meeting.

Li Forsythia had just taken a bath, and the room was amazingly fragrant, and when Li Sigui entered the house, his brows were furrowed, obviously not very comfortable.

"This old thing." Li Lianqiao felt disgusted in his heart.

She was wearing a lotus-colored shirt and thin gauze pants, sitting on the big bed, with clear lines below the waist, which made Zhou Zhuocheng and Yu Zhirang look very happy.

A pair of bare feet in vain were so bright for the three men to look at, and she paid attention to their every reaction.

But Li Sigui is the most worried person.

"Eldest princess, this Xu Zhixun's crime ......"

"I will let General Zhou announce his crime, you only need to be responsible for killing him."

"Eldest princess, the palindrome of the Three Law Divisions has not yet arrived."

"Heir, you are also my Li Tang's clan."

"Don't dare to be, eldest princess, although the lower official is a national surname, but the distant branch is a cousin of Gaozu."

"That's my own family, I'm the eldest princess, the emperor's sister, the surname Xu bullied the sister so badly, you help me with his life, the emperor's brother is not to blame." Li Forsythia was looking forward to it, and took his eyes to clip Li Sigui.

"Eldest princess, but this program ......"

"I went back and told the emperor's brother, you have to do two things, one is to arrange manpower to maintain order on the streets; The second is to arrange the prison and the executioner, and there will be no problems in these two links tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow, the eldest princess, do you want to say something to the people?"

"Say something? Isn't that too ordinary? I'm going to give them a big show! She sat up on her knees, her face full of excitement.

"The eldest princess expressly!" Yu Zhirang and Zhou Zhuocheng said.

"Tomorrow's arrangement is like this, you will be your supervisor and beheader, General Zhou is responsible for announcing Xu Zhixun's guilt, after the announcement, first beat the small one, let his grandmother feel distressed, and then kill the old one, let this little flesh hurt and hurt together."

"Wonderful!" Yu Zhirang said.

"Senior Brother Yu, you have to take care of the necromancy, Xu Zhixun still has a few friends of wizards and Taoist priests, and he may want to save him."

"I'll leave this to me!" Yu Zhi geared up.

"After the decapitation was announced, General Zhou wanted the executioner to use this sword." Li Lianqiao took out Xu Yongzhi's sword.

"Let my son's sword cut off Lao Tzu's head, the eldest princess is really an artist!" Zhou Zhuocheng's face was full of admiration.

"Where, it's over, I've just seen too much pain, so I'm very proficient in how to take revenge," Li Lianqiao said with a grin, "You spread a straw mat and white practice on the ground, don't let the dirt stand on the cavity, it won't look good." ”

"The princess's plan is ......"

"When the head of the person falls to the ground, I will come out, I will kiss his newly dead lips, I will pick up this head and take it away, let everyone know that although Xu Zhixun is responsible for me, this princess still really loves him."

Li Forsythia's face was flushed, and his face was full of anticipation.

"It's so enjoyable! Can't wait to see this show. Zhou and Yu were flattering.

Li Sigui's mind was a mess: "How can I be a minister in the same hall with such a group of crazy men and women, what kind of evil have I done!" ”

After a burst of laughter, Li Lianqiao's face suddenly changed.

"I'm tired, you all go down."

The three of them were busy and retired.

Li Forsythia lay flat on the big bed, heard them go away, turned over and lay on the bed, and cried softly.

"I bury my grief and unwillingness under my revenge, and only in the dead of night can I go to pull and pull and see if that affection is still there."

She suddenly remembered that there was another Xu Yongzhi next door.

She put on her dirty clothes, held the candle, walked lightly to the next door, put the candle down, and closed the door.

Xu Yongzhi was forbidden by her and lay naked on his side on the bed.

She put her fingers on Xu Yongzhi's back.

"Ah, let's touch this smooth skin again," Li Lianqiao hugged Xu Yongzhi's waist from behind, "After tomorrow, it won't be so slippery." ”

Forsythia blew out the light.

The fourth watch is coming to an end, and the severed head meal is here.

Some people eat and drink, some people disdain, and some people only drink, in fact, when it comes to this, how to behave is not of much significance.

It was a bowl of meat, a bowl of wine and a bowl of white rice, Xu Zhixun didn't move.

At dawn on the fifth watch, the soldiers who carried the people came, and Xu Zhixun hung up his handcuffs, wore shackles, and walked through the corridor of the prison.

In the big trumpets on both sides, there were businessmen who were arrested from Linquan Town, and because they had relatives and friends who were willing to ransom them, they were arrested by Zhou Zhuocheng's soldiers, and these people all knew Xu Zhixun.

"Brother Xu", "Shopkeeper Xu", "Mr. Xu", "Doctor Xu", there are all kinds of titles, some help him cry out for grievances, and some send blessings.

Xu Zhixun moved forward slowly, two jailers carried him forward, and outside the prison number, there was already a prisoner car waiting for him outside the door.

In fact, the Tanzhou prison and the fire palace are separated by a street, but the rule since ancient times is to visit the city first, and then return to the downtown court, which is the so-called "to set an example".

Killed the bad guys, comforted the good guys, scared the potential bad guys, and the world was peaceful from then on.

It is precisely because of this that every unjust killing of a bad person will shake the cornerstone of the ruler's palace.

The wooden cage squeaks across the bluestone pavement, and it has to be a person from another world, with different postures.

The bandits and bandits will speak boldly and laugh wildly; The man who commits adultery may sigh like chaff and sigh; Xu Zhixun just looked, he looked at this city, this country, and this world.

Most of the people in this city sympathized with him, some of them had used his family's medicine, some had seen his family's Langzhong, but no one dared to speak for him, they were afraid of the ironclad soldiers and archers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they saw the fate of Linquan Town—after the Linquan massacre, it was so extravagant to speak out.

The bravest are often the weak.

An old lady living in the slums, when she saw Dr. Xu's prisoner car coming, she knelt on the side of the road with her little grandson and burned a stick of incense in a small incense burner.

The child's mother died in childbirth, and it was Xu Zhixun who arrived in time to open the dead mother's belly and rescue the child.

The old lady still remembers the first words of this doctor when he rescued the child, not to boast, but to apologize:

"I'm sorry, I can't save the child's mother."

Zhou Zhuocheng saw the old lady kneeling and kowtowing, pointing with a whip, a Southern Tang soldier went over, kicked over the incense burner, and kicked the old lady to the ground, and the little grandson howled and cried.

This time, the people of Tanzhou are gone.

You've won a great victory.

Killing people is not enough.

If you want to spoil and bully people, what are you going to do?

Jiangdong people do things, but they are also too desperate.

Once this thought is entrenched in their minds, everyone instantly ignores the disparity in force.

If you see the other party as the representative of the imperial court and the embodiment of the royal law, you will be afraid.

But the other party, a foreigner who invades his hometown and bullies the old and weak, women and children, even if he has an iron can and an iron bowl on his head, will not gain your respect and fear.

The villagers poured into the team, and the escort team was in chaos.

Responsible for maintaining order is the third class of officials in Tanzhou Mansion, the bad people in Hongxiang, and they got a strange instruction from the grandfather this morning:

"Just fight, don't hit people."

Seeing that the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were tripped and pressed by the fellow villagers, Fei Yanggu perfectly led everyone to implement this policy:

"Fellows, don't fight! These are all military masters from Fuzhou, Hongzhou, and Jinling Mansion! ”

"Fellows, don't take off the military master's helmet, it will hurt people!"

"Fellow countrymen, you must believe in the court and the law!"

The fellows are also very cooperative:

Beat those who wore armor, stripped off their armor and started their hands.

All the local squad leaders in Tanzhou, who caught fast, ignored them, and the armor-piercing Southern Tang soldiers were all dragged into the crowd and beaten.

Several young people set up barricades in the streets with trucks and stalls, and when Xu Zhixun looked up, there were members of the Bow and Arrow Society, his brothers.

Zhou Zhuocheng brandished a horsewhip and smashed his head in the crowd, and someone grabbed his scabbard, and he couldn't see who it was.

Someone jumped into the prisoner cart and was about to smash the wooden cage, but after several blows, he was shot in the throat by a crossbow arrow and fell to the ground and died.

Zhou Zhuocheng picked up the firearm and fired a shot into the sky.

It was as if there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Everyone calmed down all at once.

Zhou Zhuocheng recaptured the sword, and the sword was unsheathed.

"Stop now, I won't pursue it, and we will all go home! Or burn down your street! ”

The people slowly retreated into their territory, and the young men who had piled up the barricades were shot down by a few archers.

Zhou Zhuocheng called a general and gave a few orders, and the officer nodded, dismounted and threw the torch on the old lady's house.

What Tanzhou is most afraid of is fire, its houses are all bricks, wood and bamboo, and they are too close.

Everyone hurriedly looked for water, hammers, brooms and shovels, and began to light fires and demolish houses, and the laughing Southern Tang soldiers urged the convoy to move on.

When they arrived at the fire palace, the open space in front of the palace was already full of people.

Li Sigui, the warp with a sad face, sat in the main tent, and there was a flat canopy with white cloth in the distance, which was tightly enclosed, and everyone couldn't see who was inside.

Fei Yanggu took a look, and the two warriors he saw yesterday were not human or ghost, and they escorted Mrs. Xu and Xu Yongzhi to the court.

Is this going to kill a person or a family?

Seeing that the time was about the same, Zhou Zhuocheng took a document and walked to the stage.

"Xu Zhixun is a local bully, this person pretends to be a good person, blinds the eyes of the world, controls people's minds, builds his own arms, he colludes with officials, his hands and eyes reach the sky, kills good people, and commits adultery. Fortunately, the eldest princess of Taining was ordered to come here, and Zhou Zhuocheng, the envoy of the Hongzhou Military Festival, that is, me, came to eliminate the harm for everyone......"

The people in the audience cheered loudly, and the slogans in their hands waved one after another:

"Down with the hungry dad Xu Zhixun" (sic)

"Thanks to the relatives sent by the imperial court" (sic)

"Eldest Princess Chitose"

The people of Tanzhou in the back row could hear it clearly, and most of these people spoke with the accents of Hongzhou, Fuzhou and Jianghuai, and they were clearly Southern Tang soldiers wearing civilian clothes.

"I declare that Xu Yongzhi, the son of Xu Zhixun, committed the crime of adultery, with forty rods, and was exiled to Jiangning Mansion."

"Xu Zhixun's wife, Xu Tian's family, is sold by the official of the teaching workshop."

"Xu Zhixun's crime is unforgivable, and he should have been executed by Ling Chi, but he has practiced medicine for many years and has also contributed to the local area, so he was sentenced to be executed."

Zhou Zhuocheng finished reading this completely illogical document and ordered: "Fight first." ”

A few tolerances took off Xu Yongzhi's shirt and pressed it on a stool.

Pity that white body!

The women in Tanzhou all turned their heads and couldn't bear to look at it.

With a muffled sound of "bang", Xu Yongzhi snorted lightly.

Fei Yanggu was a connoisseur, and he knew that the executioner had used all his strength.

This kind of torture rod is called the water and fire ruthless stick, which is filled with mercury, and when it is beaten, it is not easy to hurt, and this kind of muffled sound can often break people's bones.

"Hit hard!" Zhou Zhuocheng urged.

A tragic and flesh-and-blood scene, the audience played by Nan Tang Bing was very happy to watch.

Xu Yong didn't say a word next, he was a master of swordsmanship, but he didn't have the kung fu of horizontal practice, so he could only protect his backbone and internal organs by luck, but the flesh and blood on his back couldn't bear the fight at all, and he ate forty times.

After watching the beating, Zhou Zhuocheng turned his head to Li Sigui: "My lord, let's sign it." ”

"Next fart, I've got you covered." Li Sigui sat in the tent and pretended to be emotionally stable, muttering in his mouth.

"Eun Xiang, calm down," Master Qian reminded carefully.

Li Sigui walked up to the stage and looked at the crowd.

"Datang Liezu Fadu, if there are more than five people in the audience who jointly intercede, the execution can be suspended," Li Sigui said, "Is there any doubt about this death sentence?" ”

Zhou Zhuocheng grabbed Li Zhifu's collar: "Li Sigui, what are you doing." ”

Governor Li was also angry: "General Zhou, you and I are both officials of the imperial court, let go of your hands, I act in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the family laws of my ancestors, is there any problem?" ”

Zhou Zhuocheng looked at the audience, fortunately, the nearby places were arranged by himself.

"So, you all want Dr. Xu to die, don't you?" Li Sigui also let go, since he broke his face with Zhou Zhuocheng, he changed his title.

"I want him to die, I want him to die!" The nurseries were very cooperative.

In the distance, the people of Tanzhou shouted "I am against it", and they were dragged down and arrested by the spies with a stick on their heads.

Li Si returned to Fei Yanggu and took a copper basin, which was filled with water.

"Okay, Hongzhou Jun is going to kill Xu Zhixun today, Xu Xianggong, you must see clearly, this matter is not what I Li Sigui wants."

He washed his hands in the water, "I don't have the blood of a good man on my hands, and at this moment, I have no choice." ”

"Why don't you add drama to yourself!" Zhou Zhuocheng couldn't bear it anymore, pushed Li Sigui away with his hand, grabbed the table, and threw down a stick.

"Slash!"

The executioner was Li Sigui's man, so he didn't move at all.

Zhou Zhuocheng jumped up.

"Executioner, serve Xu Xianggong on the road!" Li Sigui shouted.

The executioner brought Xu Zhixun to the stage, holding the big knife and about to do it.

Zhou Zhuo followed Li Lianqiao's instructions and stopped him in a hand.

"Use this one."

When Xu Yongzhi looked fixedly, he found that Zhou Zhuocheng handed over his sword "Three Thousand Guan".

"What kind of wicked person did your grandmother cut off her father's head with her son's sword!" Xu Yongzhi didn't cry or scream when he was beaten, but at this moment, he suddenly let out a loud howl.

It's strange to say, seeing the tears of this noble son, the people in Tanzhou under the stage couldn't help but start crying.

Xu Zhixun knew that his time had come, and began to look at the people in the audience.

From a distance, I saw a Taoist aunt in a gray robe, who was tightly covering her little apprentice's mouth.

Xiaogui came with Xu Xiaoduo.

He turned his head to look at his son Xu Yongzhi again.

"Don't cry," he said with all his might, "I didn't say anything, so they need you to live." ”

Xu Yongzhi stopped crying, and at this time he also saw Xiaogui and his sister, and he suddenly felt that he must survive and escape.

Mrs. Xu was strangled by someone, and she could only watch all this happen from beginning to end.

The executioner picked up the sword and aimed it at Xu Zhixun's neck.

"Li Lianqiao, this is not like you, you are a drama spirit who can't wait to lie down at the funeral, don't you come out to make a show?" Xu Zhixun said.

"Slash!"

Zhou Zhuocheng was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he hurriedly gave an order.

The executioner unsheathed the sword, and suddenly Xu Zhixun shouted angrily, and the rope on his body broke in response.

The executioner was taken aback: "Master Xu! You treat ......"

Xu Zhixun took the sword in the executioner's hand, as if he was taking the knife from a child's hand, and he slowly walked towards his wife, who was tied up strongly.

"Aqian, let's go together."

Madame Xu was bound hands and feet and gagged, but everyone could see that she was nodding happily, her eyes sparkling.

Li Lianqiao, who was waiting in the white cloth tent, poked his head out when he heard the movement, and was surprised to see Xu Zhixun breaking free.

Maybe it was Xu Zhixun's momentum, or his spells, but neither of the two necromancers wanted to subdue him in the slightest.

Xu Zhixun aimed his sword at his wife's heart and pushed the sword in with the weight of his body.

Tian Xiaoqian died with a smile.

According to Lian Qiao's judgment, she is already a person who has died once, so this time, she will enter a real eternal sleep.

Xu Zhixun knelt down, hugged his wife's body tightly, and used his left hand to cast a fireball spell.

He gently stroked his wife's hair and cheeks with his left hand, and the fire burned on his wife's body, and then Xu Zhixun's own body.

Burning one's body with fire is the fiercest way for a wizard to die.

He lived as a doctor, but died as a real wizard.

People's eyes were on fire.

Even those soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were stunned by this human tragedy.

Xiao Dao Gu tightly covered the eyes of the little apprentice.

Xu Yongzhi's eyes widened, and he had to remember this moment.

Fei Yanggu hurriedly led someone to extinguish the fire on the deceased, Xu Zhixun and his wife were already two charred corpses beyond recognition.

Li Lianqiao turned around at this time and let out a heart-rending wail.

"Brother Xun was my lover, I love him, and I still love him."

At this time, everyone saw Li Lianqiao, she was wearing a filial piety robe and a white filial piety belt tied to her forehead, which was originally full of a big drama, but now everyone will remember the tragic Xu Zhixun, not the crying eldest princess.

Focusing her gaze, she found that she didn't know what was good in this scene, so she said the previous set of words again.

"He is talented and famous all over the world, but his reputation comes from deception, he gives you small favors, controls your lives, earns your money, and his sins are unforgivable."

"Yu Gong, I will kill him and fulfill the law and justice of the court."

"Privately, I mourn him for the love and mercy he has given me."

According to Li Lianqiao's design, at this time, Xu Zhixun's still handsome head should be picked up, and kissed deeply on the slightly open lips.

What she was holding now was a piece of coke.

She sat down on the ground and cried, the kind of sadness that a child would feel when she found that adults no longer played with her.

"Why are you so stupid! Xu Zhixun, Xu Zhixun, we are now clear. ”

At this time, a single-horse cart was driven into the court, and Li Lianqiao should have boarded the carriage with Xu Zhixun's head, leaving the stunned audience, but now, with a cross in her heart, she threw down the body and got into the car.

Yu Zhirang couldn't see the situation clearly, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Eldest princess, ...... over there"

"Get out!" Li Lianqiao urged the coachman to drive away.

"Look at y'all! Is this mother-in-law still a normal person! Xu Yongzhi yelled.

Zhou Zhuocheng hit Xu Yongzhi on the head with the hilt of his sword, knocking him unconscious. The soldiers stuffed him into another car, and the necromancers escorted him away.

Fei Yanggu took the bad people to inspect Xu Zhixun's body, and put the bodies of Xu Zhixun and his wife in a coffin.

"Gong Xu, don't be too shabby, I hope that one day I can be wronged."

"When the kingdom is about to die, there will be demons." Li Sigui sat on the tent and muttered.

"Enxiang, this official, are you still doing it?" Master Qian asked.

"No, let's go home!" Li Sigui said.

The soldiers began to drive away the onlookers.

Xiao Gui and Xiao Duo also turned around and wanted to go back to the inn, when a big hand was placed on Xiao Gui's shoulder.

"You two do a good deed! Running around what! Come with me! ”
