Speaking of which, an edict came suddenly, causing Li Liangguang, He Dafu, Liu Dapang, and the three of them to fall off their horses and hurriedly kneel down to answer.

Among them were messengers who sent edicts, standing proudly before them. After glancing around, he saw that there was already a sea of people kneeling down in front of him, all of them holding their breath with suspicion, and the people who read the edict recited the edict with great vigour.

"The edict said: After receiving the report, the 'Flying Tiger General' Li Liangguang was killed by the thief, and the battle was won in one fell swoop, and the battle captured Li Qiusheng, a key criminal of the imperial court, and his accomplice Dong Tingyi. In order to punish the former and the latter, appease the party, and bless our society, the court deliberated, and ordered the 'Flying Tiger General' Li Liangguang to be the chief envoy of the inspection and supervision, He Dafu, the grain officer, to be the deputy envoy of the prison and beheading, and Liu Dapang to be the assistant envoy, and to punish a cadre of criminals according to the criminal law of the country, and not to engage in favoritism and malpractice, so as to respect and serve the best. This edict is decreed! ”

After reading it, the envoy with the edict immediately looked around at everyone with cold eyes, and shouted again. "Those who listen to the edict, don't you take the edict quickly, do you still wait for the lord of the country to come and announce the edict yourself?"

The three of them were snorted by the edict messenger standing in front of them, and immediately bowed forward to receive the edict. "The ministers received the edict, thank the lord of the country, may my lord live long, long live, long live." After that, he put out a posture of receiving the edict and set it up there.

Just as the three of them were receiving the edict forward, the envoy with the edict immediately snorted lightly and took a step forward and whispered. "Lord He, it is rumored that the Liang Wangfu and Deputy Lei are saying that they must behead the important criminals of the imperial court and show them to the public, and they must not be left in the capital for trial." After that, he handed the edict in his hand to Li Liangguang's hand. Then he retreated to his previous position and stood still, and said in a flat voice. "Arise, all of you, for the edict is finished. Let's just be casual, why make such a fuss? There is no need for so much etiquette to be a courtier. ”

At this time, the kneeling crowd slowly stood up, exchanged their heads one after another, and said some ordinary kind words. The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly lively and boiling, and there was no longer the solemnity and sternness when he listened to the edict just now.

Li Liangguang walked forward and saluted the envoy with his fists, "I am really ashamed to bother Father-in-law Zhou, and I am really ashamed to pass on the edict thousands of miles away, and I still look at Father-in-law Zhou." After that, he immediately turned around and said to Liu Dapang on the side, "Lord Liu, Gonggong Zhou and the other three people have traveled thousands of miles to deliver the edict, which is already extremely tiring, please arrange the manpower and bring it down to be hospitable, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlords in Gulan Town." ”

Liu Dapang heard that Li Dashuai was so settled, and he was extremely happy in his heart. After all, in a place like Gulan Town, where the emperor is far away, isn't it a miracle to be able to personally serve the father-in-law Xuanzhao who came back to the capital? Maybe you can even be promoted because of this. He Liu Da Fat, how can he not be overjoyed now?

Therefore, when Li Dashuai finished speaking, he swayed his fat body and walked directly in front of Gonggong Zhou, and put on a posture to welcome the invitation. "The three of you have worked hard, please go to the official office with the villain to rest. So that the villain can do the friendship of the landlord and serve the three envoys as dogs and horses. ”

As soon as Liu Dapang said this, he saw the old faces of the three envoys such as Gonggong Zhou, and immediately snorted coldly. "Okay, then the miscellaneous family will go with you, and see what you have to entertain." After that, he resigned Li Dashuai and He Dafu, greeted two entourages, turned around and followed Cong Liu Dapang.

As soon as the three envoys left, He Dafu crossed to Li Liangguang and said. "Li Dashuai, you heard it too. This edict was issued at a really good time, which not only saved us the pain of escorting the imperial court all the way north, but also calmed the people. It seems that Liang Wangfu and Vice Minister Lei are thoughtful, so let's just follow the edict. It's hassle-free and risk-free. Do you have to go back and thank these two governments for their kindness? ”

He Dafu never expected that he didn't wait for his words to take shape. Li Liangguang snorted coldly and shouted loudly. "What do you know? Have you ever thought about it? If we don't get it right, we will have to be the scapegoats for this matter in the future! It's easy to cut people, but it's hard to save them. Do you understand? Angry, with a wave of his hand, he turned around and instructed General Liu, Captain Qin and other generals to take the lead and lead the troops back to the camp, settle down, and don't make any plans. He took the edict and walked straight into the big office of Gulan Town without a head. Seeing this scene, the guards on both sides didn't dare to ask more, but silently followed behind Li Dashuai.

After entering the big government of Gulan Town, Li Liangguang threw the edict in his hand on the desk, pulled out the master chair and sat down. The servants on the left and right, seeing that Li Dashuaijing was so angry, were shocked like a dumb puppeteer, just mechanically poured tea and water, stood and waited, and did not dare to make any more entanglements.

After Li Dashuai drank the tea, he actually held up his left hand and pressed it on the big yang points on both sides, kneading it constantly. Then he exhaled a long breath and crossed his hands in the center of his chest. A pair of eagle-sharp vulture eyes looked left and right, and his mind seemed to spin rapidly. I could only hear him slowly muttering to himself, "Li Qiusheng, it seems that Ben Shuai really has to do something to you, otherwise you kid will never have a bright future." After that, he seemed to have a hard calculation in his heart, and then beckoned someone to invite He Dafu and Liu Dapang in.

He Dafu was vomiting, and when he was insulted, he heard Li Dashuai's invitation, and he was shocked at the moment. The scene that was reprimanded by Li Dashuai before came into his eyes again. He walked in dejectedly, and in a blink of an eye, he entered the big office where Li Dashuai was sitting. He said to Li Liangguang with extreme trepidation. "I don't know what advice the big marshal has to ask the villain, and I also ask the big marshal to make it clear that the villain is good at pretentiousness."

Liu Dapang on the other side also said timidly, "Yes, Li Dashuai, if you have any advice, just say it." We're all on the same line, so what else is there to hide? ”

"Two adults, don't worry, don't worry. Let's discuss this edict first. What do you think about this? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Li Liangguang glanced at He and Liu indifferently from the seat, and then said lazily, as if he was very tired of the hot hand in front of him.

"Of course, this is in accordance with the edict in the Zhao book, does Li Dashuai still think that there are other good plans?" After listening to Li Dashuai's words, He Dafu couldn't wait to say his idea.

Liu Dapang's eyes on the side rolled, and he also followed He Dafu's topic, "The villain thinks that Lord He's entry into the law is the best, let's just do it according to the will of the imperial court." There is no trouble, and no one else will be able to grasp the handle of framing us in the future. ”

He and Liu sang and took care of each other like this, as if everything didn't need to be considered and planned. Now, as long as Li Dashuai says a word, they can immediately go to the prison and cut a prisoner to pieces. It's a hundred, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

After a while, Li Dashuai who saw him in the seat did not say anything. The two couldn't help but hesitate again, glanced at each other, and said timidly. "What about Li Dashuai's idea? That's what we should do. ”

"What's this?" After Li Liangguang paused, he suddenly said. "The edict of the imperial court is naturally correct, but the metaphor of 'Liang Wangfu and Deputy Prime Minister Lei' seems to be a bit of a snake. I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, but I don't know what is wrong for a while? ”

"Naturally, there is no need to think about this, I think that 'Liang Wangfu and Vice Minister Lei' have been carefully arranged. Otherwise, their two governments would not dare to blatantly ask Father-in-law Zhou to spread another word, let's just do things according to the rules. He Dafu obviously favored the words of the second mansion of 'Liang Lei' and said, as if he had taken a full reassuring pill in his heart, he was not afraid that you Li Dashuai would not act according to the rules.

Liu Dapang seems to be looking at why the rich man is the first to look at it, and he will follow the parrot to say whatever He Dafu says, and he never dares to take his own ideas to the bottom.

Li Dashuai glanced at the two of them with sneering eyes in the seat, and finally let out a long sigh. Then, suddenly, he stood up and said, "Well, you two have a point. Let's set a date three days later to cut this stalk at the entrance of the vegetable market in Gulan Town. Now the second thing to do is to go back immediately and issue a notice from the government, inform the whole town, and execute this prisoner in three days. With that, Li Dashuai waved his hand to the two and motioned for He and Liu to retreat.

He and Liu didn't dare to hinder the slightest, so they had to obey Cong. With a "bang" of his fists, he slowly retreated.

As soon as He and Liu left, Li Liangguang sent someone to call Captain Qin again. After a while, after a detailed explanation, Captain Qin nodded and hurriedly left.

As soon as the government notice was posted, the streets and alleys of Gulan Town, teahouses and restaurants, and Shangfu stalls, like a mountain torrent blown up by a waterfall, were everywhere rumored that the news of the prisoner at the entrance of the vegetable market three days later was rumored. The ancient town, which had been silent for a while, was in an uproar again, unprecedented. It seems that all the people in the ancient town are waiting to see the excitement of this execution of the prisoner three days later, and other things are not enough to worry about the scriptures.

Besides, after Li Qiusheng was rescued from the execution room of the cell by Captain Qin that night, he was transferred to a relatively clean and spacious secret cell. The personnel guarding the border were also replaced by the personal soldiers brought by Captain Qin, and the food, housing and medicine were also treated differently from the ordinary. This made Li Qiusheng very strange, he couldn't imagine that he had fallen into this predicament, and he actually had such a special treatment for himself in prison.

He really couldn't express regret in his heart, it was a taste of joy or sorrow.

Three days later, the food in Gulan Town was surrounded by a sea of ordinary people watching the excitement, and the waves were urgent; It seems that there is a big mountain rain about to come, and the wind is full of the city.

The scene of the first execution of the prisoner in Gulan Town was set up here, and the atmosphere on the field was extremely solemn and solemn. I saw a righteous veteran "Flying Tiger General" sitting on the main field, guarding Captain Qin and a group of personal soldiers. He Dafu, who was separated from the case, sat happily, the version of the prison order in his hand was trembling slightly, and a layer of fine and dense traces seemed to ooze from his forehead.

"The hour has come, bring someone to commit it! Verify the identity and execute! Liu Dapang finally opened his throat and yelled when it was almost noon when the sun was shining. The sound vibrated the audience and was deafening.

Then I heard "Click, click, click!" There was a few sounds of blades hitting bones, and blood spurted out, staining a large area red.
