If you set off tomorrow morning, the journey of more than 200 miles would be hasty even on horseback.

Duan Chu nodded and said Lord Tie wait a minute, I will pack up two things and go to the mansion immediately.

Tie Si Prison told Duan Chu to hurry up as much as possible, and then turned around and went back to his life first.

Next to the main room of Duan Chu's house, there was an ear room, which had been locked, this time he opened the door, and quickly walked out after entering, and then said to Zhuzi that he was honestly at home, and he was about to set off.

"Take me with you." Beads said.

"I'm going to execute, not to play, what are you going to do, besides, the head is cut off and bloody, you little girl, you will have nightmares when you see it, wait for me to come back at home."

Zhuzi pulled Duan Chu's arm and said that he would go together.

Duan Chu shook off her little hand, didn't talk nonsense with her, turned his head and left.

"Are you going to take me with you! If you don't, you'll regret it! The beads shouted a warning behind his back.

Duan Chu looked back and saw that Zhu Zi was holding the sheepskin bag containing his wine.

"If you don't say that I have forgotten, I can forget everything, I can't forget the wine, give me the wine bag quickly."

After Duan Chu finished speaking, he walked towards the beads.

The beads showed another pair of scissors, Duan Chu was startled, and quickly stopped, saying What are you going to do.

"Do you want to take me with you?"

"Don't bring it!" Duan Chu was very decisive.

With a few clicks, the wine bags that had accompanied Duan Chu for more than four years turned into sheepskin belts in the blink of an eye, and the burning knives that broke free fell to the ground, and the taste of bad wine was very pungent.

Duan Chuxin was distressed by wine, and even more distressed by the sheepskin bag, and he was almost unable to speak at that time: "You, you ......"

The beads showed fire folds again, which were not ordinary fire folds, but special nocturnal weapons, which were taken out and burned with a blow.

"Do you bring it or not? If you don't bring it, I'll burn this place to ashes as soon as you leave! ”

Seeing that the beads were playing for real, Duan Chu was also afraid that she would set it on fire, so he had to agree to her.

This time I went to Zhongwu County, you can't bring the ghost head knife, you can't do without wine, Duan Chu entered the ear room again, and found a red lacquer wine gourd of about one foot, which was intended to be used to hold wine.

After locking the door of the house and taking the beads to the mansion at night, Duan Chu looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I think I'm a bear-hearted leopard gall at the beginning of the year, I never thought I was afraid of anything except being poor, but I didn't expect to be bluffed by your little girl, and I made a sin, why did I save you that day!"

Zhu Zi snorted and said, "Death row prisoners are very weird, I'm going to check for you, so that you don't have to miss!" ”

Duan Chu glanced at the beads disdainfully, and said, "How can I need you to guide me about cutting off my head!" ”

At this time, I just arrived in front of the wine shop, the wine shop was already closed after dark, Duan Chu patted the door panel and called the door, went in to beat the wine, the cheapest burning knife, and filled the wine gourd for sixty yuan.

Getting closer and closer to the mansion, Zhu Zi looked at himself empty-handed, lest this past would attract attention.

She snatched the wine gourd from Duan Chu's hand and took out a piece of cloth from her pocket.

Wrapping the wine gourd in a cloth, she hugged it tightly in her arms and lowered her head again.

In this way, she is like a little girl, less noticeable.

The beads are very thoughtful.

When she arrived at the gate of the mansion, the two people from Tiesi Prison and Zhongwu County, who were waiting there, looked like a servant, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

They all set their eyes on Duan Chu.

"Master Qian, this is the head of the Hongyang class in Pengzhou Mansion."

"Master Duan, this is the master of the Zhongwu County Torture Room, get to know me."

After Tie Si Prison finished the introduction, Duan Chu and Qian Zhushu said politely, and they were about to set off.

may be afraid that Duan Chu will not be able to ride a horse, and Zhongwu County has a carriage this time.

Before leaving, Tie Si Prison told Duan Chu to go all out and not lose Lord Wen's face.

Bidding farewell to Tie Si Prison, Duan Chu pulled the beads, and together with Master Qian, they all got into the carriage.

The coachman snapped, the two horses snorted and the carriage started.

Master Qian is nearly fifty years old, his face is kind and always smiling, and when the carriage is checked out of Pengzhou City, he begins to chat with Duan Chu.

"Master Duan, I heard Tie Si Prison say that you are the most relied on talent of Lord Wen......"

"Don't say that, Master Wen, how can Lord Wen rely on an executioner."

"Master Duan, in fact, what I mean is just to remind you not to take it lightly because of your high art, there are some things you may not know yet, that death row prisoner is even more difficult than you imagined."

Qian Zhushu went on to give a detailed account of the situation.

This death row prisoner is a fisherman in Zhongwu County, because of a trivial matter, he bit the throats of two fishmongers on the street, and when the official arrived, his mouth was still full of blood.

The method of killing in public was cruel, and he was soon imprisoned.

Zhongwu County fixed the human and physical evidence, prepared documents and submitted them to it, and after layers of approval, it was determined that the fisherman was picking provocations and killing people, and when the approval came down, he was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn.

There were seven or eight death row inmates in Zhongwu County this year, and the other few were beheaded first after the autumn, and this death row inmate was ranked last.

After the beginning of winter, the executioner of Zhongwu County chopped off the head of the death row prisoner with a knife at the corner of the street.

When his head hit the ground, the executioner was dumbfounded.

Because it was his new wife's head that rolled to the ground.

As an unlucky executioner, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law, and the executioner cried on his knees.

Before he stopped crying, the head of the death row prisoner over there suddenly grew again.

"The person who could have beheaded me to death has not yet been born." Death row inmates were triumphant.

The other executioner thought it was an illusion, took the ghost-headed knife, and slashed it down again.

The head that landed this time became the head of the executioner's old lady, and her gray hair was pale and she couldn't look at it.

And the headless corpse of the death row prisoner over there immediately grew a head, and he was still proud.

The county magistrate who supervised the beheading felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent people to check on the two houses, and it turned out that the wife of the first executioner had indeed been killed with a knife, and her head was missing.

In the house of the second executioner, the situation was more or less the same.

The county commander hurriedly dispersed the onlookers, found the county to discuss, and reported the matter to Huai'an Mansion overnight.

Huai'an Mansion sent several executioners, and the results were exactly the same.

Whoever goes down with a knife and the head that falls off is the head of the person closest to him.

After they missed in a row, no executioner dared to take the job, not even if they were killed.

Beads couldn't help but hear this.

"You people in Huai'an Mansion are too pedantic, can't you change the way of killing? It's okay to hang it, even if it's boiled and burned, and the corpse can be dismembered! ”

The oil lamp in the carriage swayed, the light and shadow were dim, and the beads suddenly raised their heads, and their faces were dark and frightened.

Duan Chu hurriedly pressed the head of the bead.

"I'm sorry Master Qian, this is my cousin, I like to talk nonsense if I neglect discipline, don't pay attention to her."

The money master didn't care, but said:

"What Cousin Ling said is right, originally we all meant the same thing, so we sent a document to report to the Criminal Department, wanting to change the way of execution."

Saying this, Qian Zhushu sighed.

"Who knew that the reply from the Criminal Department didn't wait, but waited for a thousand households of Jinyiwei, saying that according to the law, the prisoner should be beheaded, then he must be beheaded, and no other execution methods can be changed."

Duan Chu knew that this Jinyi Wei Qianhu would definitely not be on his own.

He was supposed to have been sent by the emperor.

At this time, the bead could no longer sit still, and she slapped the carriage hard.

"Stop, I'm getting off!"

Who is not afraid of losing her head, after all, she is now Duan Chu's closest person.

If Duan Chu did it, her head would fall off.
