Volume 2 A Light Walks in the Night Chapter 156 Everyone Has a Life (Medium)
After stabilizing his mind, Feng San laughed miserably, and said in a difficult voice:
Although Feng is humble, he has always had a clear conscience and thinks he is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth...... But after arriving at Zhao's Zhuangzi, Feng did become a brute and did things that were not as good as pigs and dogs......
"I killed people at the dam, and I still killed them with the same bitterness as me, I'm sorry for them, and I'm even more sorry for their families...... If possible, ask Zhao Gongzi to help me and place my head in front of those people's graves!
"Zhao Gongzi, although you have a noble status, you are not a rich and unkind person, the Zhao family is also a good family, it was Feng who was wrong before, very wrong...... It's too late to say anything now, and Feng doesn't dare to ask for your forgiveness, but this 'sorry' Feng must say it!
"Zhao Gongzi, I have already instructed my family, son, Zhao family's kindness to take us in, Zhao Gongzi's care for us, they will repay it with their lives and remember it forever!"
After saying that, Feng San's head slammed down.
At this moment, this man who was deeply resentful because of the tragic experience in the first half of his life, and did not hesitate to kill for his family, no longer has anger on his body at this moment, only deep remorse, self-reflection and gratitude.
At the last moment of his life, he did not become a Shura and returned to the identity of a human being.
Feng Niu'er and others also bowed down and kowtowed one after another, thanking them while confessing their sins.
Zhao Ning helped them up.
He looked into the eyes of Feng San and the others and said, "Tomorrow, after you are beheaded, I will give your heads to the villagers of Hekou Village." ”
In this way, our souls will be at peace. Feng San let go of the burden in his heart.
At the end, Zhao Ning set his eyes on Feng Niu'er, a skinny young man who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and was constantly sobbing at the moment, and asked, "Are you willing to atone for your sins?"
Feng Niu'er was stunned, and looked at Feng San and the others for some reason, the latter suddenly reacted, slapped Feng Niu'er on the head, made him kneel down quickly, and hurriedly answered for him: "Yes, of course he is willing!"
The surprise is palpable.
Zhao Ning nodded slightly, and said to Feng Niu'er: "Although you participated in the murder case, according to the investigation of the officials of Dali Temple, after you slashed a villager that day, you were so frightened that you didn't know what to do, and you were knocked to the ground, and there was no more murder."
"The villager you slashed was only injured in the shoulder, and now he is still alive, so you are not actually guilty of murder. Thinking that you are still young, I will give you a chance to send a frontier, and when you arrive at Yanmen Pass in Daizhou, you can be a military servant. ”
Feng Niu'er was still ignorant, raised her head and revealed a pair of ignorant eyes, not knowing what this meant, but Feng San was already overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, thanking Zhao Ning for him, "Thank you Zhao Gongzi for your great kindness!"
As he spoke, he dragged Feng Niu'er to his knees and slapped him on the head again, "What are you still doing in a daze, you can survive, why don't you thank Zhao Gongzi?"
Feng Niu'er habitually obeyed Feng San's instructions, followed and kowtowed a few times, suddenly reacted, and suddenly burst into tears, grabbed Feng San's arm and cried: "I...... I'm not afraid of death!
"We are killing together, you are all dead, I will die with you, I will not be a coward, I will not be a deserter!"
Feng San was anxious and angry, this time the slap did not fall on Feng San'er's head, but slapped him in the face, "Bastard! What nonsense?!"
The force of this slap was not small, Feng San'er was stunned, completely at a loss, and blood was already flowing down from his nostrils. Feng San's heart softened, his face was unbearable, and he wanted to reach out to help him wipe away the bloodstains, but his hand stopped halfway through.
He softened his expression, grabbed Feng Niu'er's shoulder, and said softly: "Don't mention the matter of the dam again, it's not pride, it's our shame."
"Think about it, if we all die, who will help us take care of our families? We die, and there are no more young people in our families, and you are alive for us, and you have to help us take care of everyone, do you understand?
"When you get to the border, don't be afraid of hardship, you will do whatever the military master tells you to do, and strive to kill thieves as soon as possible and make meritorious contributions. In this way, you can be a husband who stands up to the sky and the earth, and can help us take care of our family, do you know?"
Feng Niu'er was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out crying, the sound was very loud, as if she was about to tear off the beams, and her voice was terrible, as if it could penetrate the golden stone.
......
Next.
The entrance of the vegetable market was overcrowded, there were many criminals on the execution platform, there were more onlookers, and the attics of the nearby streets, whether they could stand or not, were now crowded with people.
There were no children, but there were no children, even beggars.
This was an ordinary day, but the current grand occasion is more lively than the Shangyuan Festival, and the murder was originally a human tragedy, but now everyone has the opportunity to applaud.
When Zhao Ning came, there was no way to squeeze in front of the crowd, and the nearby pavilions were already overcrowded, and the faces of the windows were dense like window flowers.
Just when Zhao Ning was thinking about whether to jump on the roof, in the window on the second floor of a restaurant on the street, a young woman with a Korean style saw him and immediately cried out in surprise, "Zhao Gongzi!"
She looked excited, her pretty face flushed, as if she had seen a fairy, so her voice was so loud that it drowned out the chatter of the people nearby.
Hearing the words "Zhao Gongzi", everyone was attracted to the attention and cast their eyes on Zhao Ning's side, and the already noisy crowd suddenly became even more noisy.
"Zhao Gongzi, is that the Zhao family's son?"
"The people of the Zhao clan are all heroes! I just don't know which young man this young man is?"
"It's Zhao's Gongzi Ning, I've seen him!"
"That night, he took the soldiers who patrolled the city governor's mansion to personally capture Gongzi Ning, who was in Beihu Xizuo?"
"Is it the Zhao son-in-law Ning who took the lead in avenging a civilian woman last year, challenged the Liu family, and finally made the Liu family guilty of crimes?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's him, it's this person!"
"Since ancient times, heroes have been born as young people, and Zhao's son, Ning, is really extraordinary! Look at him, he was born in the wind, graceful, handsome and chic, and upright!"
"Exactly, Zhao Gongzi is mighty!"
"Zhao Gongzi is mighty!"
"Zhao Gongzi is mighty!"
“......”
After figuring out Zhao Ning's identity, most of the people around him became as excited as the Korean-style woman, looking at Zhao Ning's eyes full of admiration, and some young people with strong blood and strength even raised their arms and shouted at Zhao Ning.
It was just a moment, on both sides of the street, including the people looking at the execution table in front of the street, many of them were facing Zhao Ning, shouting together about the mightiness of the Zhao clan and the majesty of Zhao Gongzi.
The scene was quite hot for a while.
Especially some ignorant girls, looking at Zhao Ning's eyes as if they were starry, some jumped to their feet and shouted, saying all praise, hoping that Zhao Ning would notice her, and some held their hands on their chests, looking obsessed.
In normal times, they would only show this confused expression when they saw the scholars who wrote poems, but now Zhao Ning just stood on the street, didn't do anything and didn't say anything, which made them equally crazy.

Standing on Zhao Ning's body
Wei Wuxian on the side had never seen this kind of posture, let alone enjoyed such treatment, and he was a little stunned for a while, especially when he saw that many young women were throwing peach blossom eyes at Zhao Ning, he was even more envious and jealous.
"I know that our prestige has been rising in the past few days, especially the Zhao family, but I never thought that these people would already look up to us so much. ”
Wei Wuxian sighed, stabbed Zhao Ning's arm, squeezed his eyebrows, and said, "Are you very proud of being sought after and flattered by so many beautiful girls?"
Zhao Ning glanced at him, and his voice was cold: "Be sober." It is not me that these ignorant girls are obsessed with, but the vanity of their hearts.
"Even if you get a dog, as long as it is famous enough to be sought after by their companions, they will be like this. ”
Being so ruthlessly pointed out by Zhao Ning, Wei Wuxian looked gloomy, "Look at you, how can you still have the slightest bit of arrogance that a young man should have, and live out of an old man who has no desires and no desires!"
The two did not continue the conversation, because the owners of nearby shops and pavilions had already greeted them.
These people all smiled kindly, and rushed to invite Zhao Ning and the others into their attic, saying that they had made room for the window, and ensured that they were in the best position and could see the execution table at a glance.
Some owners also said that the good wine and good food of the small shop have been prepared, if Zhao Ning does not dislike it, just eat and drink casually, they will definitely not charge half a copper.
Looking at their appearance, it seems that Zhao Ning can enter the door of his shop, that is their great glory, and it is worth them to brag about for a while.
Zhao Ning was not polite, chose a restaurant with the best location, and entered the door with Wei Wuxian and the others. The owner of the restaurant blossomed, and when he looked at the other peers, he straightened his waist and raised his chin, and his spirit was extraordinary.
The people in the restaurant automatically made way for Zhao Ning, and the smiling faces and the words of praise in their mouths never disappeared. The window with the best view was really let out, and there was already wine and food on the table, just waiting for Zhao Ning to sit down.
Compared with the energetic people who watched the excitement, the Ponzi, Zheng, and Lu sinners who were tied up on the execution table were pressed by a large piece, just like frosted eggplants, one by one.
Despair made them all look like ashes.
Among them, the Pang clan is undoubtedly the most numerous, accounting for most of them.
Seeing that the hour was coming, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who presided over the execution, stepped onto the stage of issuing the order.
Pang Qingde, the head of the Pang family, Zheng Zexian, the head of the Lu family, and others, seeing their former colleagues, were like seeing a savior, twisting their bodies and shouting that they were wronged, and they also shouted that they wanted Xu Xiang to administer justice for him.
Then he found that the criminal department who used to have a good relationship with him and would drink and talk happily every once in a while now didn't look at them at all, as if he didn't know them at all.
They also turned a deaf ear to their shouts one after another.
This made Pang Qingde, Zheng Zexian and others feel desperate and afraid, and when they heard that some officials announced that noon had arrived, they could no longer control their emotions.
Some spitted and scolded the Shangshu of the Criminal Department for being ruthless and unjust, some accused Xu Minglang of being inferior to pigs and dogs, and many clansmen from the three families cried that they were wrong and begged to be kept under the knife.
On weekdays, they hold authority in their hands, high in power, majestic as gods, awe-inspiring and inviolable, as if Mount Tai will not move before the collapse, but now death is imminent, no different from beggars.
Even the face is even more unbearable.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is like an old monk in the prison, ignoring all this, and indifferently dropping the order arrow, "Execution!"
