Half a quarter of an hour later.

In the square, there were less than ten people, still standing in place.

"Do it!"

With Li Mao shouted.

The guards, who had already been ready, immediately swung their swords.

Knock knock!

The sound of stones falling to the ground rang out in the square.

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out that the heads of those who participated in the reselling of military rations fell to the ground.

Even in the dim light, the distorted faces can still be seen clearly.

The pale moonlight hit those faces, sending chills down the hearts of those who saw it.

Everyone present, except for Li Mao, is afraid that they will have nightmares for several days.

In his previous life, when he first went to the battlefield, Li Mao was not much different from ordinary people, and he still had a stress reaction when he saw the corpse, and he couldn't eat for a few days.

After experiencing several killings with his own hands, Li Mao gradually got used to it.

And Tongguan, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no war.

Mo said that these soldiers had never seen such a bloody scene, and maybe even their grandfather had never seen it.

"Ah......h

Just when everyone was startled, a terrible shout suddenly resounded through the sky.

Everyone looked for the sound, and saw that on a person's head, the entire scalp had been shad off.

Under the blood flowing, although everyone could not see this person's face clearly, judging by the voice, this person must be in great pain now.

"Your Majesty, I ...... I didn't cut the right position! The guards behind the man tensed.

Li Mao waved her hand, signaling that she wouldn't mind.

After all, he is not a professional executioner, and he can understand mistakes if he makes mistakes.

The guard raised his knife again and began to aim repeatedly.

"Phew!"

I heard a loud shout, and the long knife fell straight down.

Just when everyone thought that the man's head was going to fall off, they only saw a skull flying out.

"Ah......h

Another terrible shout.

The man who resold the rations was not dead.

Li Mao frowned and looked over.

It turned out that the guards had only cut off the man's skull, but had not hurt his brain.

I don't know whether to say that this guard's knife technique is good or bad.

Li Mao shook his head and walked towards the place of execution, and at the same time motioned to the soldier to hear about it and stop cutting it again.

Because there were already many people present, they vomited out their dinner.

Now.

There was already a river of blood on the ground.

There was also a strong smell of blood in the air, and the evening breeze blew and could not blow away.

"Give it to me!"

Without waiting for the guard to answer, Li Mao took the long knife directly from his hand.

A silver-white knife flashed.

Everyone only heard a pop, and a human head flew out three feet away.

But there was not the slightest trace of blood on Li Mao's body.

It turned out that when he swung the knife down, his right foot also moved.

At the same time as the human head flew out, Li Mao directly kicked the remaining half of the person's body down.

"Do you see clearly?"

After finishing the action in one go, Li Mao turned his head and asked with a smile.

"See clearly!"

The guard didn't expect the emperor to be so amiable, pulled up a smile, and hurriedly replied.

"What's your name? When did you start joining my personal guards? Li Mao then asked.

"The villain's name is Wang Ergou, who joined the trapping camp on the day His Majesty raised troops to set things right, and was selected into the pro-guard team the night before yesterday."

Li Mao nodded.

Wang Ergou should have been the first group of people to be captured.

At that time, after the bloody battle between the trapped camp and the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army, the team suffered heavy casualties, and there was a shortage, so he was temporarily absorbed into the personal guard.

The night before yesterday, after the night attack on the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya, because Li Mao was going to personally lead the troops to the battle, five hundred people who performed very well in the battle were drawn from them.

After knowing the origin of this person, Li Mao was even more happy, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Ergou on the shoulder and said, "I remember your name, come on." ”

"Hmm!"

Wang Ergou was excited, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he could only prove that he really knew by nodding his head vigorously.

And the Tongguan defenders under the execution ground began to envy Wang Ergou.

"These two dogs are so lucky!"

"That's right! When the emperor personally intervened just now, I thought he was going to be unlucky! ”

"I also think so, this Wang Ergou can't cut off his head well, he can actually get His Majesty's attention, is there any heavenly reason?"

"Well, how come I don't have such good luck."

"You? You don't look in the mirror and see what you look like either! Wang Ergou looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, you are fucking in your forties, can the emperor take a fancy to you? ”

……

At this time.

The eight people who claimed to have been wronged before were all slumped to the ground.

Li Mao looked at their cowardly appearance, and it didn't look like they had been wronged.

So, he picked up his blood-stained knife and strode toward the eight men.

"Honestly, have you ever participated in the resale of military rations?"

The tip of the knife touched his chest, and the chill made the person being questioned shiver with fright.

"Your Majesty...... Next, I didn't ......"

Li Mao didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and directly stabbed him in the chest.

Then he took another step and found a second person for questioning.

"Tell me honestly, did you participate in the reselling of military rations?"

The man had been frightened by what had happened to his previous companion.

He didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, I didn't ......"

Li Mao also didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and directly ordered the guards: "Torture!" ”

The guards are all soldiers, how do they know what torture is?

But the emperor commanded, and they did not dare not move.

Several men glanced at each other, and at the same time took out their horsewhips and threw them at the man who claimed to have been wronged.

After a crackling crackle.

The man couldn't hold on any longer, and shouted, "It hurts me to death!" ”

"Give me a good time!"

"I participated in the reselling of military rations!"

Li Mao frowned and sneered: "I have let you confess honestly, but you still have to deceive!" ”

"The guards on the left and right, give me a thousand knives to cut this person, and Ling Chi will be executed."

It's a new way to play.

It's okay to ask the guards to cut people, but it's too embarrassing for them to let them do the punishment.

The guards glanced at each other, but they didn't move.

Because they didn't know where Ling Chi should cut the meat from.

Li Mao looked at their blank expressions, and knew that it was difficult for him to be strong.

"Forget it, Ling Chi is too troublesome, let's just burn it with fire!"

In the end, Li Mao decided to use a simpler, but enough deterrent method.

It's much simpler to burn it.

Several guards hurriedly ran to the next house.

After a while, they came out with tables, chairs, and benches.

"What about you? Is it to honestly confess and lead to death directly, or to be burned to death by fire after stubborn resistance? ”

Li Mao didn't think he was a tyrant, so he still gave the remaining six a chance to choose.

"I've got it!"

"Just kill me!"

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't lie to you, can you spare my life!"

"Dog Emperor, Hugh is arrogant, and I will be a good man again in eighteen years!"

"I won't let you go!"

"Don't kill me, I'm willing to go into battle and kill the enemy!"

"Humph! If you want to kill, kill it, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you! ”

"I want to confess, I want to atone for my sins, give me a chance!"
