The Dharma field is at the root of the north gate city wall.

Leaning against the city wall, a wooden platform shed was erected, and the county magistrate was sitting under the shed.

Not far from the stage, there is a stone pier.

A bloodied young prisoner knelt behind the stone pier, and a young woman beside him.

It was Zhu San, the main culprit in this case, and Chen, an accomplice.

He actually wanted to behead both of them at the same time.

There was already a circle around the surrounding area to watch the lively people, pointing at the two prisoners.

Many people are scolding the adultererous husband of the two, shameless and vicious.

There are also a few people with whom they know each other, and who know their character, and do not believe that they can do such a thing.

But the matter has come to this point, even if it is an unjust case, no one dares to speak out loud.

Under the shed, the county magistrate was a little impatient, so he asked left and right: "The time is coming?" ”

A small official raised his head and covered his eyes to look at the sun, bowed down and said, "Back to the county office, there is still more than a moment left." ”

At this time, it was early spring, and the cold was still left, but the county order suddenly felt a little hot and dry, and there was a touch of sweat on the corner of his forehead.

wiped the corners of his forehead with a silk handkerchief, and his heart was extremely impatient, so he said: "Don't wait, the execution will be carried out immediately!" ”

"County lord, the time has not yet come, and it is ominous to open the knife...... the little official was embarrassed, but he still persuaded hard.

The county magistrate slapped the table and interrupted him: "Ridiculous! This official enforces the law impartially and eliminates harm for the people, why is it ominous? Left and right are not bad at this moment, execution! ”

“…… Be. ”

The little official replied helplessly, walked to the front of the shed, and sang in a long voice: "Okay - execution——! ”

The executioner, who was armed with broadswords, took them up by the necks to the stone piers, lifted the wine jar he had prepared, poured a sip of spirit, and sprayed them on the broadsword with a pop.

The surrounding crowd began to agitate.

There was an old woman in front of the crowd, with white hair, trembling, her eyes cloudy and hollow, not crying or crying.

Mourning is greater than dying.

The county magistrate raised his head, straightened his chest, took out a decree from the holder, and raised his hand to throw it down.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd.

But it was not because of the discussion of the onlookers, but because many people broke out and scolded.

Because they were suddenly lifted away by a strong force, and almost fell to the ground.

A figure squeezed in from the crowd and rushed towards the center of the court.

A group of messengers surrounded and tried to stop him, but when he saw that the man only waved his arm, he swept away the messenger who was blocking in front of him.

All the way forward, with a wave of his arms, dozens of errands were overturned, and Hulala fell to the ground.

The man rushed to the center, probed with both hands, pushed the executioner away, pointed to the county order on the stage, and scolded: "You dumb official! is so stupid and confused, how to be an official and protect the people! ”

The county commander was startled by this person's divine power, brought down the chair, raised his finger tremblingly, and said, "Who are you, who are you?" ”

The man raised his head and shouted: "I am the general of Emperor Guan, and Zhou Cang is also!" ”

The surrounding people were in a hurry, and many people immediately knelt down and bowed, chanting words in their mouths, and they were extremely religious.

Emperor Guan is the county to worship the city god, the magic is extreme, there are countless believers within a radius of hundreds of miles, this god emperor will appear in front of people, how can they not be surprised.

As for whether it is true or not, no one doubts it, because in the eyes of the people, Emperor Guan Sheng's inspiration is full and his divine power is immeasurable, how can anyone dare to blaspheme?

"Hu, Hu...... Run off at the mouth! ”

The county commander was frightened in his heart, and scolded inwardly: "Who are you, dare to bewitch the people here!" ”

"Mo, Mo said that you are a human or a ghost, a god or a monster, then you are really a true god under the throne of Emperor Guan, what? There is a way in the world, and you are the true God, and you must obey the law of my great work. ”

"You need to know that my great law is strict, if you dare to cause harm to the world and disturb the laws of our dynasty, it will be difficult to spare you, under the great seal given by the emperor, you should be let your soul fly away, and you will not be reborn!"

The more the county commander said that he was more and more courageous, and he was able to puff up his chest.

The man stepped forward and sneered, "Hmph! You stupid, so fashionable and obsessed! ”

"Unconscious official, you are unclear, you are unkind to the official, you are tortured to extract confessions, you are tortured into tricks, and you are unjustly imprisoned, what face is barking in front of me and the law is strict?"

"Hugh...... Hugh is nonsense! ”

The only reliance on the county order is the official seal on his waist, but he has been an official for many years, although he has heard that the official seal is set by the emperor, protected by human luck, and all evils are easy to dispel, but he has never seen it, let alone used it himself.

In addition, if there is chaos today, the king's law is not obvious, the people are not happy, and the things of demons and ghosts are constantly heard of, who knows whether this official seal is still useful or not?

Seeing that this person has no fear at all, eighty percent is useless.

In addition to being frightened, he couldn't help but complain about the Shangguan who had told him these nonsense rumors.

"Nonsense?"

The man sneered: "The murderer is a scoundrel in the market, his name is called Gongbiao, and he has nothing to do with Zhu San, you are stupid, not only tortured Zhu San, but also implicated the victim's wife Chen, the two of them were tortured, and they were beaten into tricks, but you are complacent about it?" ”

When the man finished speaking, the people around him were in an uproar.

If there was no person who claimed to be the general under the throne of Emperor Guan, the people would only talk about it at most, but now that there are gods and spirits appearing in front of them, they are no longer afraid, and they are more likely to feel that they are doing the right thing for heaven.

The county commander's face was like earth, his legs trembled, and he wanted to turn around and run away, but his legs seemed to grow on the ground, and he couldn't move at all.

"No, no, it's impossible, Zhu San confessed everything early, and there is a bloody cloth as proof!"

"Hey, hey! Bloody clothes? ”

The man sneered, but turned his head to look at Zhu San, and scolded angrily: "Zhu San, how unfilial you are, don't you remember that there is a high hall in your family?" ”

Zhu Sanben, who was kneeling in front of the stone pier, was in despair, even if this person who claimed to be Zhou Cang suddenly appeared, he didn't react much, but he trembled when he heard the words at this time.

"Little ...... How dare Xiaosheng ......"

The man interrupted with a laugh: "Hey! Don't you dare? Why don't you dare, but why do you want to take your life lightly, and ask your old mother to send black hair to the sky, survive in the world, wash your face with tears all day long, and spend the rest of your life with grief and loneliness? ”

"Xiaosheng...... Little ......"

Zhu San's eyes were blank and he muttered at a loss.

The man continued: "You are just afraid of the pain of torture and want to avoid it with death, do you know where the bloody evidence of your liberation comes from?" ”

Zhu San was stunned and said, "Xiaosheng...... Ignorance. ”

"Naturally, you don't know that it was your old mother who was frightened when she saw you, and couldn't bear to suffer from that heavy punishment again, and mutilated her weak body, stained with blood."

The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the white-haired old woman with empty eyes in front of him.

"That old woman, this is the time to wash away the grievances for Ruzi and regain her life, and she still doesn't know the truth, when will she wait?"

At this moment, the old woman's eyes were no longer empty, and tears welled up like springs of tears.

She is a person who believes in gods and Buddhas, otherwise she would not have walked on her knees on the long street, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, to ask the city god to bless her beloved son.

The person who claimed to be Zhou Cang in front of her was thought by her to be the manifestation of the Lord of the City God, and he sent down God to save him.

Seeing that God was about to drink the order, he immediately cried out in a sad voice: "God is merciful, my son is not guilty!" ”

On the other hand, he took off his coat, but saw that the old woman's left arm was wrapped in a layer of cloth, and there was a blood stain on it.

Regardless of the pain, he tore off the cloth with his thin hands and claws, and the wound on his arm had not healed.

"Mother!"

Zhu San hissed and shouted.

At this time, he still didn't know where the bloody clothes came from?

He asked his mother to take out the bloody clothes before, because he knew that the old mother had chickens, ducks and poultry in the backyard of his home, and his original intention was that the old mother would know what he meant, and he would make a bloody clothes out of poultry blood.

But he didn't know that his mother pitied him for his crimes, and was afraid that the county magistrate would find out, so he cut his left arm with a kitchen knife and stained his clothes with blood.

The old woman also explained the reasons at this time, and Zhu San felt extremely remorseful in his heart.

The surrounding people were even more indignant, if it weren't for the fact that the great cadres still existed, some people would rush up to the shed at this time, tear down the county order and beat it.

The county order was already sifting chaff at this time, but he didn't dare to move, and said in a trembling voice: "How can this be...... How so? ”

The people were angry, and although it was trouble, he was not afraid, and this man who claimed to be a god was unpredictable, but he may not be able to harm him, nor could he harm him.

What he feared most was that if this matter was a foregone conclusion and there were many people present, the case would definitely spread, and his reputation would not be guaranteed.

Others don't know, but he knows that when the Dazai Huagong has arrived in Ludi, he is afraid that it is not far from here.

This public character is upright, the most jealous and hateful, and he goes out of Beijing to inspect in micro-service, just to observe the injustice of the world and the official voice of the world.

As soon as this matter is reported, there is a chance that it will reach his ears, and he will not end well at that time, let alone his official position, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed.

The man had already shouted: "You stupid official, now that you have been told the truth, you should quickly retry this case, release the innocent, arrest the real murderer, and return justice to the people, if not, a certain will definitely come again!" ”

After speaking, his body suddenly trembled, and he fell straight to the ground.

After a long silence, the bold messenger stepped forward to check, and he was like a dead man......
