The task of the royal confession, the secretary of the criminal department came to protect the secret room to confess, how can an outsider know? So Bu Zhenxin was surprised.

"If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do." She Gongzi continued to sneer and said, "Master Bu, you have received a task to secretly behead a criminal after three days, is it right?" ”

"You, you......" Bu Zhenxin shook violently, reaching out and grasping the hilt of the blood-devouring knife.

During the Qianlong Dynasty, the people's activities against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty were still continuing, so as a banner man, Comrade Bu Zhenxin was still a little vigilant. He didn't know who the Young Master She in front of him was, and he was worried that this guy was a demon and was not conducive to the court, so he made a killing move.

"Wait!" She Gongzi was also afraid of the blood-devouring knife, took two steps back, shook his hand and said, "Lord Bu, please listen to me, if the words are not speculative, it will not be too late to kill me." ”

"Say! However, if you are an accomplice of demons and induce me to betray the court, don't blame me for being ruthless. Bu Zhenxin forced his eyes to look at He Gongzi and said.

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" She Gongzi sighed and said, "The person who Lord Bu is about to behead is a half-human, half-snake body. Cloth Lord knows this, right? ”

Bu Zhenxin's eyes widened, and he shouted: "If you have something to say, don't try to take my words!" ”

She Gongzi nodded, took out four gold bars from his arms, gently placed them on the table, and then looked at Bu Zhenxin's face.

Seeing the gold, Bu Zhenxin's eyes lit up, but it was only for a moment, and then he returned to normal again, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"These forty taels of gold are a little thanks. If Lord Bu could grant a small request, I would give me another hundred taels of gold in three days' time. She Gongzi clenched his fists and said.

Bu Zhenxin's throat grunted, and it was the sound of swallowing saliva.

At this time, the Bu family belonged to the well-off class in the capital, and they were stained with the light of the flag people, and they were mixed into people. But the family background is not particularly wealthy, and this more than 100 taels of gold is enough for Bu Zhenxin to build a high-rise building and turn over in one fell swoop.

But Bu Zhenxin was not stupid, knowing that this money was hot and might not be so easy to take, so he asked, "What do you mean?" If you want to use this hundred taels of gold to persuade me to retract my mind, then you don't have to open your mouth! ”

The royal order, Bu Zhenxin did not dare to disobey, even if a mountain of gold was piled up here, it was useless.

If you disobey the order, you will immediately fall to the ground, or even behead the whole door. At that time, what is the use of more gold? Bu Zhenxin is not stupid, this joint has thought through thoroughly.

"Master Bu is too worried, you are also acting on orders, how can you disobey the orders from above?" She Gongzi smiled and said, "When I request, I hope that the adults will be a little bit off when they make the knife." ”

A little bit, what does it mean? Bu Zhenxin frowned and said nothing, his eyes wandering between She Gongzi's face and the gold bar.

"The adults were instructed to cut the back of the head, but it was different from the previous executions, not a horizontal slash, but a straight slash, right?" She Gongzi took two steps and said, "At the time of execution, as long as the adult deviates from the cervical line by half an inch, it will be regarded as a great help to me." ”

Bu Zhen was even more surprised in his confidence, this She Gongzi, who even knew the details of what he said, who was it?

After thinking about it, Bu Zhenxin was really reluctant to let go of those yellow gold bars, and asked in a low voice: "What is the saying of deviating by half an inch?" What are the consequences? Don't...... Can the prisoner survive? ”

She Gongzi's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said, "The melon seeds in the head are all split, how can there be any reason to survive?" However, human offenders can only get excess. Otherwise, he will be a fierce god and evil ghost for the rest of his life, wandering in the world. Moreover, his soul will definitely hate Lord Bu, and repay you for his wrongs, and ask for your life, even ...... Kill your whole family. ”

"Is that what you say?" Bu Zhenxin was taken aback, and his head began to sweat.

Now She Gongzi's words make it difficult for Bu Zhenxin to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

He knew about his father's beheading of Cheng Jia back then. Therefore, when it comes to the soul, Bu Zhenxin also believes it. And last time, his father killed the tanuki spirit, and he even saw the spirit of the tanuki spirit float out with his own eyes.

"My lord, what I have said is true. The knife deviates by half an inch, which is good for everyone. She Gongzi looked at Bu Zhenxin's face and said.

Bu Zhenxin thought for a while and said in a low voice: "What is the origin of this criminal?" ”

She Gongzi was silent for a moment, and said: "This person is my fellow villager, when he was a teenager, he was hit by the demon law, and his lower body turned into a snake tail. I remember that he has been miserable all his life, so I want to give excess. If he can't go beyond it after he dies, it will be a great scourge for the world. Therefore, please also ask Bu-sama to fulfill it. ”

Bu Zhenxin looked at the glittering gold, finally gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll do my best!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Bu, for your daughter!" She Gongzi's face was happy, he slammed it to the ground, and then turned away.

Bu Zhenxin accepted the gold, settled down, and waited for the day of execution.

Three days later, a linoleum carriage came to pick it up. Bu Zhenxin had already packed up, immediately took the blood-devouring knife, and jumped into the carriage.

In the hall of the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment, the lights are bright, and the day is not distinguished.

Bu Zhenxin was brought in, and when he looked up, he found that the small secret room in the underground hall was full of all kinds of people.

Among them, there are guards with swords, there are Shangshu of the Criminal Department to protect them, there are the eunuch Hao Gonggong who passed the decree last time, and there are monks and Taoists, as well as red-clothed lamas.

There is also a dignified official, dressed in a purple python robe, sitting on the Taishi chair.

Bu Zhenxin didn't know the man, and he didn't dare to look at it more, so he just knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Lai Bao raised his palm and said: "Bu Zhenxin, today is Prince Li's personal beheading, you have to show twelve points of spirit!" ”

"Slaves obey!" Hearing that Prince Shili was here, Bu Zhenxin was even more frightened and sweaty.

In the early days of Qianlong, Prince Li was extremely powerful, and it can be said that one person was under the hands of ten thousand people. Today, Prince Li personally supervised the beheading, and was accompanied by the little eunuch beside the Lord of Long Live Lord, which shows the importance of this prisoner.

Amid the rolling sound, a prisoner cart made of sandalwood was pushed out by a dozen strong soldiers and placed in the middle of the hall.

With the appearance of the prisoner cart, a fishy smell immediately filled the air in the hall.

Prince Li raised his sleeves and covered his nose slightly.

Bu Zhenxin just glanced at the prisoner car, and suddenly felt disgusted, and his back was cold.

I saw a head in the prisoner car. The head was not big, it was the face of a man, but this man had a triangular face, a pink complexion, and very cruel eyes.

And through the railing at the bottom of the prisoner car, you can see that the upper body of this person is a human, but the lower body is coiled together, in the shape of a giant python!

"Uh......h Hiss! The snake man was imprisoned in a cage, twisting his head and looking around, his mouth opening and closing, making a strange noise.
