Chapter 112: A Death Row Prisoner Who Doesn't Take the Usual Path

The crowds on the cross street were surging, and the people of Dayan were full of hatred for the people who provoked the war, especially those who had lost their loved ones, and they were eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

If it weren't for the Mi people who started the war, many fathers and brothers would not have had to die.

The women who had lost their breadwinners either sold themselves into slavery or started small and obscure businesses to make ends meet. But in winter, charcoal fire is expensive, and the price of food has risen at the end of the year, and the idea of compensation issued by the imperial court is exhausted, and all of them live a life of eating the last meal without the next meal.

There are also the so-called "bandits" in the suburbs of Beijing, who have killed many innocent passers-by, and some outsiders who have left their hometowns to do small business in Beijing have died before they even set foot at the city gate.

In order to win this battle, the grain depots in various places have been emptied, every household is frugal on food and clothing, and I don't know how many people have died of starvation in some remote and impoverished places.

The people in the city have long known from various channels that there are people who are going to be beheaded today, and the rotten vegetable leaves and eggs that have been stored for a long time can finally come in handy.

There were also people who cried with joy and hugged each other and cried bitterly, only to find that they were hugging the same old man in front of them, and the two rough men looked at each other awkwardly, and silently looked away.

Yu Can had already gotten out of the carriage and followed closely by his brother and cousin, surrounded by the little servants and squeezed into the crowd. They set a location in the restaurant on Cross Street, and they could see the general situation of the execution site, but they didn't see it too realistically.

No matter how bold Yu Can is, she is still a little girl's family, Yu Shuo didn't dare to take her to watch the beheading up close, and she took a good look at the position early in the morning, so that she could see the excitement and not really see the bloody scene.

"Brother, what are you taking me to see?" Yu Can swept around the window, and it was full of people, noisy and shouting, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"You'll find out in a moment." Yu Shuo bought a pass and ordered a few drinks and dishes at random, most of which were sweet dishes that matched Yu Can's taste, and two were spicy dishes that Li Yue liked.

"Big nephew, you use Fan's beard like this, can he really cooperate?" Li Yu figured out what he was going to do early in the morning, and after staying in the Zhenguo Mansion for so long, it was not a problem to ask for some news casually.

"Fan Wanli is not a scheming person, he is the leader of the secret guard, low-key and forbearing, but he can't allow his reputation and self-esteem to be trampled on." Yu Shuo is very sure about this. "Aside from his identity, he's a tough guy."

Yu Shuo thought that Jing Yan had been investigating this person in depth a few days ago, as if he wanted to find out something old from his activity trajectory more than ten years ago, and he didn't know if he had gained anything in the end, but he only heard Jing Yan say casually, Fan Wanli is not like his father Fan Sihai.

For Fan Sihai, Yu Shuo has also heard of it. This man is fierce, insidious and cunning, good at scheming, and has always liked to cast a long line to catch big fish. He was once the leader of the Eagle Guard, a fearsome and ruthless character.

The Miguo Eagle Guard is similar to the Dayan Internal Guard, who investigates and collects intelligence in the open and secret visits, and is only loyal to the emperor like the Secret Guard. The secret guard is responsible for the emperor's security, like a sharp sword, and the eagle guard and the inner guard are equivalent to the emperor's eyes on the outside.

Yu Can kept holding his chin and looked out the window, more and more people gathered on the street, and the restaurant and tea shop opposite also stuck out many heads, most of them were ladies and girls from various provinces, and a few of them were quite familiar to see.

"Huh? Isn't that Chen Suyu? Yu Can's gaze fell on the window of the restaurant in front of him, and the familiar side face made people can't help but take a closer look, and he recognized Chen Suyu at this glance.

She was facing the elegant room on Yu Can's side, and there was a man sitting in front of him who couldn't see his face, and his clothes and figure were not real, but Yu Can didn't hesitate to identify that person as King Cheng.

When Yu Shuo and Li Yu heard her words, they all turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw the side face that made people want to tear apart.

"King Cheng?" Li Yu had never seen King Cheng before, his tone was a little uncertain, and his searching gaze swept towards Yu Shuo.

Yu Shuo has also only seen King Cheng twice, once when he just returned to Beijing and Jing Yan entered the palace with the saint, just met King Cheng who returned from the palace to visit the Queen Mother, and the second time was in the downtown area, King Cheng passed by on a horse, and deliberately stopped to say a few words to him.

If he didn't understand the ambitions of the Queen Mother and King Cheng, Yu Shuo would have felt that King Cheng was a merry and hearty middle-aged man, who looked pleasing to the eye and spoke super well.

"Well, looking at the body shape, he couldn't be better here." Yu Shuo suddenly laughed like a two-hundred-pound fool. "Haha, when the time comes, King Cheng will definitely have the heart to kill."

Yu Can was even more convinced that her brother's so-called excitement was related to the Chen family's mother and daughter, but she didn't ask any more, shrugged her nose, and sat aside and waited quietly.

After a while, there was a loud noise in the distance, and Yu Can's eyes followed, only to see the crowd being squeezed to both sides by the prisoner cart procession, many guards with knives appeared on the street, and archers were arranged on the roofs of several houses, ready to shoot people who approached the prisoner cart.

"It's coming, it's coming! Hey? What about Fan Wanli? Yu Can didn't look at the burly beard for a long time, only nine skinny men.

"The first one is Fan Wanli," Yu Shuo quickly explained when he saw his sister's eyes, "The food in the prison is not as delicious as at home." ”

Yu Can nodded, looking thoughtfully at a group of prisoners who were about to rush to the execution ground.

This scene also appeared in the picture, the difference is that it was her relatives who were escorted, thinking of this, she didn't have any intention of watching any excitement. Chen Suyu's mother and daughter are relieved to suffer, but the future is still as uncertain as duckweed.

The death row inmates were taken to the execution ground one by one, and the nine thin and sturdy executioners were already covered in black scarves, revealing only a pair of dark eyes, which made the people on the street involuntarily quiet.

The noisy streets and alleys became dead silent in a short moment, and the quieter they were, the more people dared not speak. But everyone's eyes were on the nine death row inmates, especially the bereaved civilians, and their eyes burst with hatred and anger, and they gritted their teeth and longed to tear them apart with their own hands.

"Why did Fan Wanli stand up?" Yu Can stretched his neck in surprise, only to see that several restaurants and tea shops around him also had several extra heads, and everyone looked in the same direction curiously.

Fan Wanli's thin body shook a few times, but he still stood up steadily.

The executioner raised his eyes to look at the warden, and when he saw that the other party nodded that it was okay, he did not stop it, but had some expectations.

Although he is a feared executioner, he is also curious, right, people who are dying often shout some shocking words, Rao is well-informed and can also be shocked.

And this time, when the executioner heard Fan Wanli's angry roar with an accent, he was not shocked, only confused.

β€œε§“ι™ˆηš„ζ‘ε·žεˆΊε²οΌŒζˆ‘Xδ½ 倧爷! Take care of your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, don't chew your tongue and make up gossip outside, Lao Tzu is not such a shameless person who abducts women! ”

The audience was silent, and the average death row prisoner went to the guillotine, either shouting that he would be a good man after eighteen years, or crying bitterly and regretting his mistakes, and Fan Wanli is obviously a death row prisoner who does not take the usual path.
