It's a strange city, and Shepheld doesn't know if it's because of her undisciplined family, or if it's like this, but it's a strange city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first is the question of atmosphere, every city will have its own atmosphere, and these atmospheres are absolutely determined by the role of the city and the way the officials manage it. In this kind of city, Shepheld feels a lifeless atmosphere, which is usually only found in cities that are prone to despair after the war or in the face of great natural disasters. And the city did not encounter those unfortunate things, not after the war, let alone any natural disasters, the expressions of the residents are very satisfied, there are few beggars, but there is a night market at night. It is still possible to feel the erosive atmosphere of such a city, and it is possible to be vibrant, but it should not have a chance to be lifeless.

In addition, a large part of the city is a barracks area, and with those hot-blooded soldiers present, it is unlikely that it will be lifeless if you think so. But the strange thing is here, Xue Fei feels wandering around these days, and what she feels is this lifeless atmosphere. It's an indescribable feeling, the city is full of life as far as the eye can see, but when you close the eye, you can feel the coldness.

Xue Fei told Linda about it, and Linda smiled and told her that it was her family's toss, and asked Xue Fei if she wanted to get out of this state. And after Xue Fei confirmed that she had nothing to do with the storyteller, her answer was: "Let's talk about it!" This procrastination should be at an advanced stage.

There are no people at all, everything is fake, so Xue Fei feels that it is fake. And the reason why Xue Fei only feels it now is because the illusion here began to show fangs, and Xue Fei subconsciously resisted. Her Celestial Eye has not disappeared, although it is not a Celestial Eye of the Magic-Breaking type, but it has some targeted effects.

The problem of the atmosphere is that it belongs to the off-stage situation and put it aside first, and Xue Fei has found other problems during this time. There are no corrupt officials here, and no one is bullying, not even the ruffians. It's not that it's bad, it's just that the so-called forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and under normal circumstances, every city should have a few ruffians and hooligans, and these are the enduring existence like those beggars. The development of modern society is not bad, but beggars and hooligans are still often seen, and only a few of them are helpless, but most of them are just because of this quick money. So it's a strange problem that the city doesn't have these bad guys.

Xue Fei asked someone to inquire a little, and then she was completely sure that she did not suspect that she was wrong. A year ago, there were still a few ruffians on the street, and the county magistrate was also corrupted once, and his subordinates also took money to fight the disaster. And then in the course of a year all these disappeared, and the ruffians began to work as coolies, and those who took money to do things suddenly became noble people, pursuing justice for nothing. This change was so abrupt that everyone was puzzled at the time, and now the rich businessmen can't believe it.

And then another strange place was the barracks. I didn't pay attention to it before, but now Xue Fei has found that it is not quite right, how big is this city! The top administrator is also the county commander, if the whole city is soldiers, it's okay, but the soldiers only account for a quarter, and there are more than a thousand people, which is not enough as a military stronghold! The steward said that there was a garrison outside the city, but he also said that there had been no large-scale military garrison in that place for a long time, and hundreds of veterans were taking care of it. The attitude of the resident scholars towards those soldiers is also very good, and this dynasty should not be a dynasty that emphasizes literature over military force.

The last problem is that the city has caught a lot of fugitives in the past year, and they are the kind of felons who have no problem with beheading and then trial. I don't know what went wrong, but everyone fled here during this time, and as soon as they came, they were discovered by the wise soldiers. The quality of the soldiers here is indeed similar to that of other places, after all, they are distributed from the army, but they are not so powerful that they are found one by one.

The above is the biggest anomaly discovered by Xue Fei and the three of them in the past four days, and there is another harvest.

On the third day after Xue Fei and the others arrived, another prisoner was executed in the city, and the executioner was Li Ling, the fifth person he hacked to death. Well! The first two days are the time spent collecting messages.

Because Xue Fei was interested, the steward specially came to inform Xue Fei on the day of the beheading and asked her if she wanted to go and see it.

When the sun is in the sky, Xue Fei becomes lazy in the sunlight and yawns insufficiently. The others weren't much better, they weren't very energetic, they just didn't yawn like Sheffield.

Time passed, and finally it was time for decapitation. The prisoner who was tortured this time was a serial rape and murderer who mutilated countless young girls, and the crime was extremely heinous. According to the content of the wanted warrant, it doesn't matter if it is life or death, if it is caught by someone from the government, then the local officials do not have to wait until after the autumn, they can be beheaded on a certain date.

The prisoner was not very excited, lazy, and indifferent. There was no cry of grievance, no remorse, not even a word. When the prefectural magistrate asked the prisoner what he wanted to say, as was customary, he simply raised his head and lay down again. His reaction made Xue Fei wonder if he had been drugged or suffered some major torture.

"Third Miss! This is a normal situation, and most prisoners react in such a way that they are well aware of their sin and give up struggling. Those who were still shouting before they died basically felt that they could still be saved, maybe there was a backstage, or someone might rob the prisoner. Of course, there are a few who are not afraid of life and death, but this is very difficult to encounter. ”

"Yes! Doesn't it mean that criminals like to cry out for injustice? I thought he would be preachy! "Shepherd is even more sleepy. It wasn't what he was expecting.

Then the handsome executioner Li Ling sharpened the ghost head knife and stood next to the criminal. Eh, handsome can't be seen, Li Ling is wearing a demon mask!

"Is this the custom of executioners?" Xue Fei pointed at Li Ling and asked. Those who are executed abroad will wear black hoods, and Xue Fei guesses if it is the same situation.

"It's not! Third Miss, Li Ling is a delicate person with an elegant personality, and he almost failed to be beheaded when he was executed for the first time. So after that, he wore a mask to boost his self-confidence. ”

"Ahh I know this, it's the king of Lanling! Xue Fei said cheerfully.

"Every mistake!"

"Xuefei, how do you know?!" Linda asked, confused. Xuefei is not Chinese, and she doesn't know much about the affairs of her own country, let alone the affairs of this country.

"I've seen him in the underworld! The elder is handsome, he is a temporary ghost, he could have taken a higher position, but he has no interest. ”

"Temporary ghost?"

"Work in the underworld for a while, wait until there is a suitable family, then go to reincarnation, and come back after death to continue working. The work was requested by him, and the king of Yama asked him to reincarnate into a good family, and he wanted to do something as a thanksgiving. In fact, this is not necessary at all, the reason why he was reincarnated as a good person is because he has that qualification. Every time he is reincarnated, he loses his memory, so even if he knows that he can't do bad things, it is impossible to maintain a good heart in the afterlife because of the environment. ”

"Oh!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the county ordered the execution of the card. Li Ling raised his knife and slashed, and his head fell to the ground, all in one go, without accidents, and his movements were quite perfect. However, Xue Fei did not pay attention to Li Ling's movements, Xue Fei paid attention to his knife, the ghost head knife is a knife dedicated to execution, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits and protecting the master from the curse of unjust souls. But what Xue Fei saw was not protection, the knife seemed to absorb the soul of the prisoner at the moment of slashing, and the sunlight made Xue Fei not see the existence of the ghost clearly, not very sure. Although she couldn't see the ghost, Xue Fei could see the changes in Li Ling, there was a blood-red aura on his body, which gave people a very unlucky feeling, and she also saw Li Ling's hand tremble, obviously having some bad effects.

"Let's go back!" Xue Fei blinked, putting the doubt aside. "That's right! Can you please call those guys? I'm looking for something with them. ”

"Okay! Three Misses! The steward's eyes rolled and he thought of who Xue Fei was talking about, "By the way, Third Miss, the Second Young Master will come back in the evening!" ”

"Oh! Got it. Xue Fei said she understood! In fact, she didn't understand what the steward was doing when she suddenly said this, but the steward looked like you understood, so she didn't ask stupidly. Fortunately, let Linda help understand the situation, and you can know the meaning of the steward when you go back.
