Chapter 411: Lord Qingtian
In the midst of the wailing, tens of thousands of people were roped and escorted to the 'noon ping' on foot.
The so-called Wuping is a chaotic river beach five miles away from the city of Jinchang County, the range is very large, and it is barren. There are mass graves all around, and no one lives at all.
And this Wuping is also the place where the executed prisoners are executed before the autumn harvest in Jinchang County every year.
Wuping has a long history, and it was a headless ghost for hundreds of years before.
For nearly one or two hundred years, it has been all hanged ghosts.
In the past few hundred years, because it was popular in society to execute prisoners by beheading, the corpse was just dug a pit near here and buried, so it was thought to be a headless ghost.
Then the beheading was abolished, which was widely considered too bloody and cruel. Thus began to carry out a kind of hanging, which was quick and without much psychological fear.
There are also various legends circulating in this afternoon, all of which are stories of various spirits and ghosts.
Some people say that they often see headless ghosts roaming around at night. Some people also say that at night they will see an old hanged ghost with a sticking out tongue, hanging on a tree and dangling.
Wuping has become a forbidden place in Jinchang County, and ordinary timid people dare not come to Wuping. Even if there is an emergency, I try my best to bypass the noon.
And today, tens of thousands of people were escorted to Wuping, which had been desolate and terrible before, and today it is always lively. But everyone was desperate in their hearts, because the purpose of coming to Wuping was self-evident, which was to directly execute the people at the scene on the spot.
Everyone was forced to take off their shoes and walk barefoot, everyone was pulled off their belts and walked forward one by one. Because the pants are old, many people are tied with their hands behind their backs, and they have to rub their wrists against their pants to avoid falling off.
This is also a common method used to capture enemy soldiers. Barefoot, pull off the waistband to prevent you from running away.
A pair of grandparents and grandchildren were tied together, and the soles of their feet were cut by stones.
The old man cried and said, "I shouldn't have taken you with me." ”
"Grandpa, we shouldn't be making trouble."
"yes, it looks like the army is ready to execute us all. Tens of thousands of people, these are tens of thousands of people, who would have thought that they would be killed? ”
"You all say that the law does not blame the people, and those who deceive people are all deceitful."
"I don't blame anyone for lying to whom, it's just that everyone forgot. The law is for the common people, it is the law set by the government, and it is also implemented by the government. But if it makes a big fuss, then we are not ordinary people, it is directly treason, terrorist attacks, and we can also give a hat of rebellion. Even the government can't take care of this kind of thing, it's just the army. They all forgot that the law is only the relationship between the government and the people, but there is still a layer of army on top. ”
"Yes, grandpa, we died this time. If I can do it all over again, I promise not to make trouble with the government of Jinchang County. If I can survive this time, I won't be able to go to more than five people's activities in the future. Woo woo, who would have thought of this? When the army kills people, it doesn't matter if you are a common man or not, as long as someone says that you are a thug, they will really kill you as a horse thief. ”
“……”
The same scene happened all over the crowd, all with desperate expressions.
But there was an extremely strange scene in the crowd, when everyone was crying and shouting, only the old blind man in Majia Lane was leashed and walked in front of the team, laughing and talking to the people around him as he walked.
"I just said it, I told you not to make trouble, don't make trouble, you just won't listen to me."
"Haha, now it's okay, right? Whoever hearkeneth not to me will suffer this wrongful sin. ”
“……”
I don't know why, the old blind man is so happy, really happy. Happy from the bottom of my heart.
The soldiers around him were all dazed, what was there to be happy about? If it weren't for the fact that this old blind man was too old and afraid of losing his life, someone would have gone up and beaten him to death.
An old woman in her sixties rubbed tears on her shoulders and cried, "Old man Ma, don't laugh." It's all about to die. What are you laughing at, it affects my mood. ”
The old blind man giggled twice, but stopped talking. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "Death? You can't die. There's no smell of dead people here, and I still feel ...... Money is going to fall in the sky. ”
When they arrived at Wuping, with a military order, all the soldiers raised their guns like wolves and roared:
"Everyone face the river beach and get on your knees!"
"All kneel!"
'Bang Bang Bang'
Some people kept firing guns into the sky, and tens of thousands of people in Jinchang County knelt down in fright, and tens of thousands of people knelt there in an extremely huge scene.
If it weren't for the team led by General Wu who had experienced the real battlefield, these thousands of soldiers might not have been able to subdue tens of thousands of ordinary people.
"Everyone, close your eyes!"
“……”
'Kakaka'
The sound of a gun being loaded rang out.
Suddenly, there was a high cry from the crowd: "Woo woo. ”
"I was wrong, don't kill me."
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to die."
"What can I do, I still have a seventy-year-old mother at home who has no one to take care of, why am I going to die?"
"I was wrong, military masters, I was really wrong. I was kidnapped to make trouble, I'm not a thug, I don't want to die. ”
“……”
As soon as someone cried, they were infected by the atmosphere, and tens of thousands of people immediately cried.
"We're going to die!"
Everyone shed tears, and it was only at this moment that they felt what despair was. What exactly is "the law does not hold the people accountable". It's a big joke that the law doesn't hold the public accountable.
"Stand upright!"
"General Wu has arrived!"
"Stand upright!"
Suddenly, the soldiers' trumpets sounded, and all the soldiers stood straight.
'Woo woo' A steam cart approached faintly in the distance, followed by more than 500 foot soldiers with guns on their backs.
General Wu is here.
All the people kneeling on the ground seem to have seen the dawn of hope, is there finally going to appear the legendary - leaving people under the knife?
Is General Wu coming to stop the shooting of more than half of the population of Jinchang County? Is it to stop us ordinary people?
Everyone stopped crying and held their breath as the steam car drove up to them and the doors opened.
Then, with a bang, General Wu, who was wearing a pistol at his waist, stepped out of the car. He glanced at the audience with a frown.
The grandfather and grandson were pleasantly surprised. Sun Tzu whispered, "General Wu is going to save us." ”
"yes. After all, tens of thousands ......"
The words are not finished.
General Wu suddenly shouted: "What are you doing to eat?" Haven't finished shooting people yet? Where is the executive? ”
A general cautiously walked up to him: "General Wu, it's me." ”
General Wu hit him with a big-eared scraper: "What are you doing to eat?" Shooting some thugs, how long did it take to delay? If you track it down and you even shoot tens of thousands of thugs, you will be held responsible. Those who should live should live well, and those who should die should give Lao Tzu some profits. ”
“……”
Tens of thousands of people are numb.
Feelings are not rushed over to say, 'keep people under the knife', feelings...... It's here to urge these soldiers to hurry up.
MMP! You are not a bodhisattva. You're Hades!
"Woo woo"
The people began to weep again.
"Ready!"
The executive officer burst into applause, and all the soldiers shouted: "Here!" ”
'Kakaka'
The sound of the gun being loaded rang out again.
"Woooooooo 、”
"Don't kill me!"
"Damn ......"
The desperate voices of the people came and went, but at this time, a smile flashed in the eyes of General Wu, who was standing in the shade of the tree.
At this moment, there was another 'woo-woo' sound.
The soldiers all stopped and turned their heads. The common people also turned their heads in surprise.
But I saw another steam car driving over, followed by hundreds of officials trotting.
Before the car arrived, there was an arrow stuck in his chest, and Zhang Haiyang, who was pale, jumped out of the car "regardless of everyone's obstruction", and roared with exhaustion:
"Slowly, slowly. Wait! ”
Zhang Haiyang's secretary hurriedly shouted: "County Lord Zhang, you are seriously injured. ”
"County Lord Zhang, you don't care."
"County Lord Zhang, go back and heal your injuries and rescue them. These are damned people, you leave them alone. ”
Zhang Haiyang turned around and roared in a voice that everyone could hear: "Presumptuous." These are all my people, these are my brothers and sisters in Jinchang County, how can they be bandits? They just listened to the words of some people with ulterior motives, and they were deceived. They are just good people who have made a little mistake temporarily, they are all my people, I am the parent official of Jinchang County, I should give the lost lambs who have made mistakes a chance. ”
"Whoa, whoa"
Zhang Haiyang's voice fell, and he ran in the direction of General Wu with tears in the corners of his eyes despite his serious injuries.
This scene was seen by the common people, and they finally waited for this sentence of 'keeping people under the knife'. Fortunately, I didn't give up.
Immediately crying wow, wow.
"Lord Qingtian!"
"Lord Zhang is my Qingtian master!"
"We used to always misunderstand County Lord Zhang, who is a good official who really loves the people like a son."
"We were wrong, we shouldn't have made things difficult for County Lord Zhang before, he is the real parent official."
"Lord Zhang, I was wrong. Even if I will inevitably die this time, I will still be a citizen under your rule in the next life. ”
"Woo, Lord Zhang, you are a big man in the sky."
