Chapter 464: Death Room

After Chen Zhi got into the car, he found that Wolf Tu was sitting in the back seat.

Wolf Tu nodded to Chen Zhi very respectfully, and then waved his hand and motioned for the driver to drive.

Wolf Tu's expression was very serious along the way, the face with the oblique scar was as blue and black as a stone carving, his lips were tightly closed, and he didn't say a word along the way.

In the dull atmosphere, the car drove all the way forward, and finally drove into the destination, and when it came to the gate of Xiqi King City, Wolf Tu said to Chen Zhi:

"Patriarch~~, go in! Subordinates can't accompany them here.

The chief asked me to give you a message, and you don't have to say anything when you go in, and you don't have to intercede for anyone, just stand quietly and watch. It's the Saiki samurai themselves......"

"Got it ......",

Chen Zhi nodded when he heard this, turned around and glanced at the wolf diagram again, and then looked around again, only to see that the courtyard was full of people in black, and everyone's faces were as serious as the wolf diagram.

"It seems that what is happening inside now is now known to everyone......," Chen Zhi thought silently in his heart, and then walked into the Xiqi King City.

Greeting him at the door was still the old lampboy, who covered his face, seemed to be a little nervous at this time, and clinged to the outside of the wall, as if he was afraid of someone attacking him.

After seeing Chen Zhi come in, the lantern boy took the lamp and walked all the way to the interior of the royal city with Chen Zhi.

This is a road that Chen Zhi has never walked before, this road is very narrow, the lights around it are dim, the road is twisting and turning, and I don't know how long I have walked, finally Chen Zhi finally asked:

"Where are we going?"

After hearing Chen Zhi's question, the old lantern boy did not stop, but continued to walk forward, and replied softly:

"Returning to the patriarch, kill the room!"

"Death room?" , Chen Zhi immediately asked rhetorically.

"Yes~~", the old lamp boy replied, his voice was a little hoarse and old,

"The Death Room is a retreat in the Xiqi King City, and no one is allowed to enter it on weekdays.

The chief has a special order, let the slave and maid send the patriarch there......"

"What about the others?" ,

Chen Zhi immediately asked the old lantern boy:

"I didn't see any other samurai along the way, not even a shadow of the guards, where did they go?"

"They ......"

The old lantern boy seemed to be very afraid of Chen Zhi's question, and his voice trembled a little involuntarily~~~, and his pace became extremely fast, as if he wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, and send Chen Zhi over quickly.

"Stop!",

Chen Zhi stopped him in a very soft voice, but his tone was unquestionable.

The old lantern boy was suddenly startled, immediately stopped, turned around and bowed to Chen Zhi.

At this time, I heard Chen Zhi's voice say coldly,

"I know what kind of place the killing room is, from ancient times to the present, it is a place to dispose of the blood relatives of the Ji royal family, because the blood of the beheaded person is noble, so no one is allowed to watch it!

I'll ask you again, where are all the people in the royal city~~~

Who will watch the punishment there? ”

"Hui, Hui Patriarch ......"

The old lantern boy replied tremblingly:

"The chief issued a stern order this morning, all the people in the city of Xiqi, including the House of Elders; Warrior; Guard; All the medical staff, including the lamp boy, all went to the killing room to watch the execution~~~

The specific reason for the slave is unknown, but I heard that there is a traitor in the Elders' House, and he wants to kill him in front of everyone! ”

"What? He wants to kill the royal family ...... in front of everyone",

After hearing the words of the old lantern boy, Chen Zhi immediately frowned tightly, and his heart was pounding.

In fact, since the first day he entered the organization, he had heard of the place of the Death Chamber.

Killed, dead is also ~~~, the killing room is a burrow that kills people......

But in ancient times, death was not so easy, and the form of death was a complex etiquette, not that you could die casually if you wanted to, but to die with your status.

The death of a slave is not dignified, he is beheaded by his master everywhere, and he is discarded ~~, and the nobles and the royal family are very particular about death, and they demand the noble glory of death, even if they are beheaded, they must die with dignity.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a department called Zongrenfu, which dealt with the people of the Aixinjueluo clan who had committed crimes.

For example, the emperor's son, the grandson of the prince, even if they make a big mistake, they cannot be beheaded by the Dali Temple or the local government at the entrance of the city, they must be sent to the Zongren Mansion for disposal, or imprisoned or whipped to give sin, and then buried in style, which is called mourning after death.

And this kind of criminal law was more important in ancient times and the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the death penalty of princes was not allowed to be seen by civilians.

For thousands of years, the surname Ji has been respected in the Xiqi King City, and all the people with the surname Ji are the descendants of the ancient royal family.

But people with the surname Ji may also make mistakes and even break the law.

The laws in the Xiqi Royal City are far stronger than the outside world, once many mistakes are touched, there is no room for turning back, and if you make mistakes, you will have to pay the price of your life, for this, everyone in the organization knows that even the members of the royal family cannot be pardoned.

But the royal family is a royal family after all, and when the members of the Ji clan die, they will retain a trace of the dignity of the royal family, that is, when they are executed, they will be sent to the death room.

Secretly executed without anyone's knowledge, and then buried with royal rites, is considered the last fig leaf of the royal family.

In Chen Zhi's memory, in the past 5,000 years, there have been very few royal families who have made mistakes in the Xiqi Royal City, but there have been several royal families surnamed Ji who have been executed, and they were all taken to the killing room unconsciously and dealt with secretly.

But this time, Bao Ping actually let everyone go to the secret killing room in the past to watch the execution, which is a great insult to the Ji royal family who is about to be executed, and it is easy to cause a sudden change, for this, Bao Ping has never said hello to Chen Zhi~~~, Chen Zhi, and he doesn't understand ~~~

Chen Zhi followed the old lantern boy all the way forward, walked for a long time, and finally came to an open gate, from where there was a translucent space ~~~, and inside was a large stone door that opened to the other.

Above the space is a thin glass cover that lets in a faint moonlight.

Underneath is a huge hall, very old, every tile is pitch black, and it is full of history.

After the old lantern boy walked to the big stone gate, he withdrew to the side, stopped walking forward, and bent down to signal Chen Zhi to open the door.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi could only walk up and gently push the pair of big stone gates.

"Bell 啷 ~~~",

With a heavy sound, the door slowly opened to both sides, and a magnificent scene appeared before his eyes..................
