Chapter 8: Such a good-looking man
There is still an hour to come.
After lunch, I wanted to rest and recuperate my wounds, but Chu Feng kept clamoring to take me to see how Liu Cheng died, and I couldn't resist him, so I had to follow him to the court.
When I came there, the area around the court was already surrounded by a crowd, and because of the wounds on my body, I couldn't squeeze it, so I had to stand under a banyan tree not far from the execution ground and look inside.
I didn't know that Chu Feng was unhappy: "It's so boring to stand here, master, I'll go inside to see it." ”
If it weren't for the fact that I saw officers and soldiers standing everywhere, and the people were afraid of the knives in their hands, I guess this guy would have been beaten.
Standing on a thick tree root at your feet, you can just see the scene of the entire execution ground.
At that time, the day was getting westerly, and it was only a cup of tea before the time came, and the prisoners had been escorted to the execution ground to wait, and the two prison officers sat on the table at the back, looking up at the hour from time to time.
Wearing shackles and torture racks, Liu Cheng knelt on the execution table, her gray hair was scattered everywhere, and when she raised her head slightly, a pair of cloudy eyes on her wrinkled face were dead and silent.
If it weren't for the fact that I had seen this person in the palace with Chu Yu before, I couldn't believe that the old person in front of me was Liu Cheng.
"This willow orange, I was fortunate to see it in Jiangzhou City before, at that time he was in good spirits, and everywhere he went, a bunch of people were crowded, who would have thought that he would end up like this!"
"He deserves it, because he embezzled the money, and how many people had to starve to death in the locust plague!"
"That is, as an official of the imperial court, I don't know how to serve the people, and I deserve this fate!"
In the crowd, people pointed at him and talked about it, and there were even more radicals, holding vegetable leaves, eggs, and stones and throwing them up, and most of the guards and supervisors next to him turned a blind eye and didn't care at all.
If Liu Qianlan saw her father's scene, I don't know how she would feel.
Leaning against the trunk of the tree behind me, I watched all this with cold eyes, the breeze swept by, and a few cyan leaves swayed and fell, just resting on my head, and when I raised my eyes, a dark red figure happened to fall on the corner of my eye.
On the leafy treetops, a young man in a crimson robe sat lazily on it, brushing the branches and leaves with one hand, and quietly watching everything in the execution ground.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, leaving a faint soft light on his jade-like handsome face, and his eyebrows were slightly tilted, and his gaze was just opposite to me under the tree......
A young man, his face is like a crown of jade, his sword eyebrows are like peaks, and his eyes are like stars.
Seeing me, he was slightly stunned, his thin lips were hooked, and a pair of bright phoenix eyes were shining, as if the beauty of the world had merged into his eyes in an instant.
Such a good-looking person actually likes to watch killing?
I can't help but think of such a ridiculous idea in my head.
It wasn't until there was a cry from the execution ground, 'The hour is coming, execution,' that I suddenly came back to my senses, and when I turned my eyes, the executioner had raised his sword......
The knife fell in his hand, and in an instant, a living person had no breath, blood spurted out from the broken mouth, surging, and many timid women covered their eyes in a panic.
I was used to seeing such bloody scenes, and I stared at them quietly, unmoved.
After the execution, a soldier stepped forward to pick up Liu Cheng's head and shouted at the crowd: "Your Majesty has a decree, the criminal Liu Cheng, in disregard of the law of the country, will be beheaded and hung at the city gate for three days, to warn future generations!" ”
