Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 74 Swinging the knife and slashing the county order
In the hall of the county government, because the top has not been able to pay the money, there are few people still working here for a long time, and the entire county government is up and down, and the rest are only so many people at the door of the county government.
Gu Xuan grabbed Xu Sanjin with one hand and threw him to the ground at once, making the latter grin in pain and wailing.
Seeing that the other party had a calm face, holding a sword with a flickering cold light in his hand and standing in front of him, Xu Sanjin hurriedly rushed over, fell to the ground all of a sudden, hugged Gu Xuan's thigh, and his entire facial features were pinched together, so frightened that snot and tears flowed down together, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang! Don't kill me! Please don't kill me! A thousand mistakes are all my fault! I beat myself, I beat myself!"
Xu Sanjin said that he suddenly gave himself a big mouth, and the force was so great that blood flowed out of his mouth.
He was also really afraid, the moment the man dressed as a military general and his wife recognized each other, Xu Sanjin realized that something was wrong, he was deliberately approached by others, and where would there be good fruit to eat, I was afraid that the matter of borrowing his head was not a lie, and he was naturally ruthless in order to survive at the moment.
"Please, lord, don't kill me! Please! I'm old and young, and they're still waiting for me to go back in my hometown, let me go! My children haven't seen me yet, please! I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong!"
Gu Xuan looked at the scene in front of him, frowned, and sighed helplessly.
Xu Sanjin thought that the other party had relented, and hurriedly grabbed Gu Xuan's hand and slapped him in the face vigorously: "Lord Wang, you are angry, you beat me, if you can't do it, you let him beat me, or, or let him, let his sister-in-law beat me! As long as you don't kill me, you can do anything! Prince, Lord! I really don't know!"
Gu Xuan shook off the other party's hand at once, and scolded with a resolute face: "Frankly speaking, I did have a soft heart for a moment, but since you have children and a wife, how can you come to occupy the widows of martyrs and do such a thing that is inferior to beasts?"
"Yes, I'm damned, I'm not human! I'm damned! I'm a brute!"
Xu Sanjin kowtowed vigorously towards Gu Xuan, hoping that the other party would be able to let him go outside the law.
"As long as you can do practical things for the people, it is understandable to collect some money, but how can you even withhold the money for repairing the city wall? As soon as you leave, how will the people live after that? Your three wives and four concubines have no one to take care of you, but how can you occupy the widows of martyrs?" Gu Xuan rebuked sharply, "You don't seek politics in your position, you only care about your own greed and bend the law, make a good Huangsha County smoky miasma, and forcibly occupy the people's women in disregard of human ethics and legal principles, you deserve to die!"
The people who followed behind all heard Gu Xuan's words, Chen Anmin and the others were directly frightened and stood in place, cowering and not daring to step forward, Jinglong, who was supported by the middle-aged woman, held the knife and stumbled in, with an angry face on his face.
"What position are you?" Gu Xuan suddenly turned his head, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked at Chen Anmin.
The latter was taken aback, his head was a few inches shorter, and he replied tremblingly: "Hui, back to the prince, Xia Guan was originally the chief bookkeeper of Huangsha County." β
Gu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and ordered: "Well, that's good, you can draft the charges of Xu Zhixian, write it, and read it to the people in the city, Uncle Jinglong, you will personally behead this bastard Zhixian." β
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
His forehead was still covered with blood, and the whole person was still a little groggy Jinglong knelt on his knees, his face was full of tears, and he kowtowed to Gu Xuan with great sincerity.
The woman behind her looked at the thin man on the ground who had forcibly occupied and raped her with a complicated face, and looked at the once unstoppable and free-spirited man who was frightened by these words, and was speechless, but there was not much happiness after the successful revenge in her chest, but she felt that everything had passed and she was relieved.
The woman suddenly bowed and said, "Brother, the princess, the woman is not feeling well, so she left first." β
"Sister-in-law!"
Jinglong was startled, hurriedly stood up, and wanted to send him off, but Gu Xuan's expression was tense at the woman's indifferent eyes, and he knew it in his heart, silently stopped Jinglong, smiled at the woman and said, "You can rest in peace, everything in the future will be with us!"
It wasn't until this moment that a smile appeared on the woman's face for the first time, she squinted at the two people in front of her, and then said softly to Jinglong: "Brother, the past, it's over, you don't have to be obsessed with the past, everyone has the right to pursue a better tomorrow, think that if your brother sees you now, he will only be sincerely happy for you and bless you, so please take their share to live well." β
Then he said solemnly to Gu Xuan: "Lord Wang, the woman believes that you are a good person, and it is also a good thing that he follows you, and the unsuccessful child of my family also asks you." β
Jinglong's eyebrows and eyes were full of doubts, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but his brain hit too hard just now, and the whole person was still dizzy, and he couldn't understand the matter, Gu Xuan also stopped in front, bent down and arched his hand, and said sincerely: "Please Mrs. put it down, I will definitely take care of them in the future, the previous thing is that the court is sorry for you, we are sorry for you, but please rest assured, I will definitely try my best to let the people of Huangsha County live a good life." β
The woman waved her hand and said with relief: "The prince is polite, where is there anything worthy of being sorry, it's just a personal choice, not to mention that the prince is also a woman today, isn't it?"
Gu Xuan could only smile helplessly, not knowing how to answer.
The woman's eyes were slightly red, and she didn't say anything more, just covered her mouth and turned to leave, Jinglong stood up and wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Gu Xuan.
Jinglong's face was full of puzzlement: "Lord Wang?"
Gu Xuan just shook his head incomprehensibly: "She's right, it's everyone's own choice, we have to respect her decision." β
"Go and pick up all the children, and then take the two children from Majia Village to the beheading platform, you should give them a long fight, and then there are a lot of things waiting for them to do." β
Jinglong could only clench his fists helplessly and said, "Yes, Lord Wang." β
At the entrance of the vegetable market, on the public execution platform of Huangsha County, Xu Sanjin, the former magistrate of the county, was tied with hemp rope with a decadent face and knelt firmly, and the people who gathered underground to watch the excitement were pointing and talking to each other without shying away.
At this point, it was useless to say anything, Xu Sanjin knelt on the ground, neither begging for mercy again, nor scolding without breaking the jar, just staring at the front with a dull gaze, trembling like chaff, but not speaking.
Gu Xuanduan sat on the main stage, looking at the crowd below with a smile, Chen Anmin, who was directly put up next to him, held the just-written indictment in his hand, looked at his best friend who was tied up by Wuhua in front of him, Xu Sanjin, and then looked at the bloodstained guillotine next to him, his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, he cried and mourned, and he couldn't move, and in the end, it was Ma Mingze next to him who helped him so that he wouldn't fall.
Gu Xuan glanced to the side, and the servant who had already surrendered to Gu Xuan hurriedly said loudly.
"Quiet!"
Unexpectedly, the crowd below was not afraid at all, there was some banter in their eyes, and those strangers spat directly on the stage with disdain, Gu Xuan saw it, and he didn't care, just shouted to the side.
"Read. β
"Huh?" Chen Anmin's whole person was taken aback, trembling, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
Gu Xuan stood up and snatched the paper from the other party's hand, looked at the poor man in front of him condescendingly, and said with an indifferent expression: "If you don't read it, are you the same party as him? If you don't read it, you will roll me on the stage and kneel, what do you think is the difference between killing one and killing two for this king?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I read, I read. β
Chen Anmin was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out, the fate of his predecessor Xu Sanjin, the magistrate of the county, was in front of him, could he still resist this prince? Reluctantly stopped the fear in his heart, took back the paper with a cower, straightened up and read it tremblingly.
"The former magistrate, Xu, Xu Sanjin, greed, greedγγγγγγ β
"Louder!"
"Ahh Xu Anmin hurriedly shouted loudly, just listening to the sound, it was not much different from the duck that was screaming.
"The former magistrate Xu Sanjin was corrupt and bent the law and robbed the people's daughtersγγγγγγ β
A pass of more than 200 words, counting Xu Sanjin's ten counts of the indictment was quickly read by him, Jinglong, who was tied with a turban to cover the wound on the stage, also pressed Xu Sanjin to walk in front of the guillotine, with a fishy smell of the guillotine, Xu Sanjin's whole person suddenly woke up, and suddenly trembled with fright, and a foul smell came out from his crotch, which turned out to be direct urine.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Jinglong didn't care about the other party's struggle, and directly forcibly pressed Xu Sanjin's head under the guillotine, although Ma Erhu next to him was afraid, but he still stepped forward to help hold down Xu Sanjin, just looking at his appearance, obviously he was also weak-hearted, he was still a farmer yesterday, and today he came to accompany the prisoner to behead, no matter how good his psychological quality is, he can change roles so quickly, in order to survive killing horse bandits and killing a county, the difference is still too big.
Gu Xuan didn't care about this, he stood up directly, and threw out a red token.
Jinglong's face was as pale as water, as soon as his hand was loosened, the guillotine fell, and a long-lasting scream sounded.
With a sound of 'bell', the guillotine was closed, the tail note gradually disappeared, and Xu Sanjin's body was detached, and he was already ambushed.
Chen Anmin was so frightened that he sat on the ground and was speechless for a long time.
