Chapter 110: Prisoner
"She killed the people I sent?" Cai Jiu asked.
In front of him stood another henchman, telling Cai Jiu everything that had happened at the city gate just now.
"Yes, after killing people, they left the city, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop them." The henchman said.
Cai Jiu snorted coldly: "Little Niangpi, she looks like a weak beauty, but she didn't expect it to be a poisonous snake...... Ask Xu An to lead someone to chase him over, if he can catch Zhao Shiyun alive, it is the best, if he can't catch him alive, he will kill him on the spot, and then bring the body back. ”
Cai Jiu secretly raised a group of Deadpools, and Xu An was the leader of them.
"Yes!"
……
Early the next morning, Zeng Hao and the others got up early and wiped their weapons.
Two days ago, Dai Zong had already come over and told them that Lin Chong would be sent to the Dharma field to be beheaded this morning.
Chao Gai and the others also managed to sneak into the city the day before yesterday, and after connecting with Zeng Hao, they disguised themselves as people of various professions, and waited around the Dharma field in advance, waiting for today's start.
Cluck.
There was a knock on the door outside the room.
"Who?" Zeng Hao asked vigilantly.
"I, Dai Zong." The person outside said in a low voice.
Zeng Hao opened the door, Dai Zong flashed in, and then immediately closed the door.
He can't be found out that he has come to find Zeng Hao's group of people, otherwise after the robbery of the law field, the government will follow the vine and touch the melon, and his life will not be guaranteed.
"I came here to tell you that I just got the news that Gao Yanei, Gao Yu's son, will also come to the law field today, and there will be many more officers and soldiers guarding the law field than before." Dai Zong said.
Hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent.
Judging from the previous strength of the law field that Dai Zong analyzed with them a few days ago, it was already very difficult for them to rescue Lin Chong.
Now there are many more officers and soldiers than usual, and it will only be more difficult to rescue Lin Chong.
"We're going to do it today, no matter what." Zeng Hao said in a firm tone, "If we allow Lin Jiaotou to be beheaded and we are indifferent, what will outsiders think of us Liangshan?" Which hero will dare to take refuge in our Liangshan in the future? ”
"That's right! We must rescue Sect Leader Lin today! The crowd agreed.
In ancient times, there was no special circumstance for prisoners to cut off their heads, and they were all executed at three o'clock in the afternoon, that is, at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, saying that the yang energy was the heaviest during this time period.
Before the execution, the prisoners were locked in prison vans and paraded through the streets.
After being sent to the dharma field, the officials of the prison will also put on the incense burner sacrifice and worship the shrine of the Lord of Yama.
Then the prisoner served wine and meat, gave the prisoner a meal of decapitation, and finally the prisoner read out the prisoner's crime and ordered the execution.
This set of processes will take at least a few hours, so not long after Dai Zong came to report to Zeng Hao, Lin Chong was locked in a prisoner car and began to parade through the streets, with at least hundreds of officers and soldiers surrounding him before and after, in case someone messed up.
Wearing shackles on his head and anklets on his feet, he stood in the prison cart with dull eyes and a desperate expression, staring at the sky with a walking corpse, oblivious to the pointing and pointing of the many onlookers around him.
Zeng Hao and others, who were mixed with the crowd on the street, were sad when they saw this scene.
I think that when he first met Lin Chong in Liangshan, although he was snubbed by Wang Lun, he could still see a momentum of "who else should I be".
Comparing the appearance of the prisoners now, how can it not be embarrassing.
"Is this the person we are going to rob today?" Li Kui asked Song Jiang, who was standing next to him.
Song Jiang made a shushing gesture, motioning for him to be quiet and not to be heard, and then nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go and rob people now!" Li Kui put his hand on the two plate axes he was carrying behind his back, ready to pull them out.
Song Jiang stopped him with a stern look: "Have you forgotten the plan we made before?" Go to the Dharma field to see the signal and then do it. Black Bull, if you dare to mess around and mistake the life of Sect Leader Lin, everyone will not be able to spare you! ”
Li Kui stopped his movements and muttered, "Isn't it just that I listen to the command." ”
After marching on the streets for more than an hour and trampling Lin Chong's dignity away, the prisoner car finally arrived at the court.
The Dharma field is located at the entrance of the vegetable market, because this place is wide and bright, it is a three-way entrance, and the surrounding area is full of all kinds of hawkers and pedestrians.
The reason why the Dharma Field is here is to proclaim the majesty of the law to more people.
The area around the court was surrounded by soldiers, all of whom were carefully selected from the Western Army barracks stationed in Jiangzhou.
In the middle of the dharma field, there are ten thick round wooden piers, which represent the ten halls of the underworld, and it is on this that the prisoners cut off their heads.
At the time of execution, the prisoner's head was placed on a wooden pier, and then the executioner dropped it with a knife.
Not far behind the circular wooden pier was the place where the supervisor was sitting, Zeng Hao and they would not have thought that Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, would personally come to the scene as the supervisor and cutter.
What I didn't expect was Lin Chong, the fat man sitting next to Cai Jiu, was the only godson of Gao Yu, the imperial lieutenant of the dynasty, Gao Yanei.
When Lin Chong came to Jiangzhou, he fell into the trap of Gao Yanei using his wife as bait, and then he was caught.
Otherwise, with his strength, he would not have been caught by the government so easily.
Lin Chong didn't expect Gao Yanei to come to the court, and even more so that Gao Yanei would bring his wife Zhang Ying to the court together!
Zhang Ying looked at her former majestic husband, who was now such a down-and-out prisoner, and tears kept sliding down her eyes like pearls with broken threads.
However, she couldn't speak, let alone get together with Lin Chong, because she had a cloth stuffed in her mouth, and her hands and feet were also tied with ropes, so she could only look at Lin Chong with teary eyes, and her mouth made a whining sound.
Lin Chong saw his favorite wife being treated like this, and his originally godless eyes were suddenly filled with anger: "Gao Yanei, you beast!" Let go of my wife, and if you have the ability, you will come to me! ”
"Your wife?" Gao Yanei squinted at Lin Chong with small eyes, and took Zhang Ying into his arms: "She has already become my concubine, and we have even finished the room, how can she be your wife?" You're right, Little Beauty. ”
In the last sentence, Gao Yanei asked Zhang Ying in his arms.
Zhang Ying didn't deny it, but the tears flowed more fiercely.
Because she didn't do it voluntarily, she was forced, Gao Yanai used her father's life to coerce her, and she had no choice.
During this period, Zhang Ying wanted to die many times, biting her tongue, cutting her veins, hanging herself, etc., but she was found and rescued by Gao Yanei, so Gao Yanei tied her like this today.
Hearing Gao Yanei's words, Lin Chong's heart was about to break, and he shouted like crazy: "Impossible! Ying'er won't betray me! ”
"Impossible?" Gao Yanei took away the white cloth stuffed in Zhang Ying's mouth, "You tell him yourself, is what I just said true or false?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Ying lowered her head and didn't speak, Gao Yanei threatened her in a low voice: "Be careful of your father's life." ”
