Zuo Xingyan turned around and found that it was Jing Beihan pulling him.

"All the guilty slaves are going to visit the killing ceremony." Jing Beihan reminded her.

The killing ceremony is held every six months, which is already a tradition in Quanzhou.

"Then that kid ......" Zuo Xingyan looked uncomfortably in the direction where the young man ran away, but he couldn't find him anymore.

There was no way, she could only go forward with Jing Beihan with the flow of sin slaves.

The killing ritual is set at the very edge of the island.

Zuo Xingyan saw more than a dozen tall pillars erected from a distance, with the flags of Sun Feng's army tied to them, the sea breeze blowing, and more than a dozen flags "snapped", which was very majestic.

When he got closer, Zuo Xingyan saw that there was a person tied to each pillar.

Five from the left, Zuo Xingyan is familiar, it is the few pirates who have been tied back.

The rest were dressed in the same sackcloth with the word "slave" as theirs.

It seems that this killing ritual will not only kill the pirates, but also the criminal slaves on the island.

Among the slaves of sin, there are men, women, and children. They were tied to pillars, their heads drooping, as if they were soulless shells.

Sun Feng sat on the table beside him, wearing a cold and shining armor, his red cloak fluttering in the wind, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of majesty.

"Those sin slaves, did they commit something?" Zuo Xingyan asked.

Jing Beihan shook his head, he didn't know.

Zuo Xingyan looked at the other sinners around her suspiciously, but the other sinners ignored her, their eyes stared straight at those pillars, and there was even excitement in their eyes.

This kind of excitement has never been seen by Zuo Xingyan before.

As if in the dull life of slavery, this killing ritual has become a rare pleasure.

Zuo Xingyan's eyes darkened, and when she came to Quanzhou, she felt like she had returned to the end of the world, with the loss of humanity and the abundance of demons.

"It doesn't matter what you do, it's important to let the slave know that our life and death have always been in the hands of that person."

Suddenly, someone behind him spoke.

Zuo Xingyan looked back and saw that it was a lean man.

He exuded a smell of earthy smell all over his body, and at first glance he was mining in the Eastern District.

His face was dark, but his eyes were shining.

He looked at Sun Feng fixedly, and the "that person" in his mouth naturally referred to him.

Suddenly, Sun Feng seemed to sense it, and his eyes fell over like an eagle.

The lean man immediately buried his head in fear, even though they were crowded in the crowd and were still far away from Sun Feng.

"Could it be that he still pulls people out casually and kills them to show the public?" The aunt of the Jing family and the Jing family followed Zuo Xingyan and his wife to participate in the killing ceremony.

When I heard the man's words, my back trembled with fright.

The lean man cracked his mouth, revealing a mouthful of broken teeth, and laughed weirdly, "That person is the emperor of Quanzhou, doesn't the emperor kill whoever he wants?" ”

Zuo Xingyan raised his eyebrows, that's right, the emperor is so willful, he can kill whoever he wants.

Jing Beihan's eyes sank, "Sun Feng won't kill people for no reason." ”

Zuo Xingyan asked, "Why?" Do you know him well? ”

Jing Beihan didn't speak, just looked up at Sun Feng.

Suddenly, Zuo Xingyan saw the young man who had just run away, he was hiding behind a boulder, biting the back of his hand, and his expression was complicated.

Zuo Xingyan's eyesight is better than ordinary people, she followed the young man's gaze and found that there was a woman tied to the pillar he was staring at.

The woman's body was as thin as a handful of dry wood, and even the rope tied to her body seemed to be unable to be tightened.

Zuo Xingyan felt that the relationship between the young man and that woman was not ordinary.

"Let me pass."

Zuo Xingyan struggled to squeeze through the crowd and walked towards the young man.

Jing Beihan was afraid that she was in danger, so he hurried to follow.

"Why are you here again?"

The young man was startled and quickly wiped away the tears on his face with the back of his hand.

Zuo Xingyan found out that he was crying.

She pointed to the woman who was being tied: "She's your mother." ”

Not a question, but an affirmative.

The boy bit his lip and did not respond, and his tears fell one by one like pearls with broken threads.

"Why did they kill your mother? Could it be that the killing ceremony is really to catch some criminal slaves out and make an example of them? ”

"Cause...... Because I killed a man. ”

Zuo Xingyan had been frowning slightly, and only then did he relax slightly.

It seems that this Sun Feng is not like a demon, who tortures and kills these criminal slaves at will.

Zuo Xingyan just wanted to continue asking, but a rapid drum beat suddenly sounded on the stage.

When all the slaves heard the drums, they shut up immediately.

After the drums stopped, tens of thousands of sin slaves were able to be silent.

After a pause, Sun Feng got up and walked to the dozen or so pillars, and suddenly drew his whip and beat everyone on the pillars fiercely.

As soon as the whip went down, blood oozed from Mai instantly.

But the sin slaves still drooped their heads as if they were unconscious, and there was no response.

"The ceremony begins, ready to be executed!"

Sun Feng gave an order, and more than a dozen strong men came to the stage with machetes, and one of them picked up a bowl of wine and drank it, and then "poof" and sprayed it on the machete.

The blade shimmered in the sunlight, a dazzling cold light.

"One ......" the burliest strong man shouted, and all the strong men raised their machetes in unison.

Zuo Xingyan clearly felt that he was holding the young man's shoulder and trembling.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke.

Almost at the same time, everyone turned their heads in the direction from which the voice had come from.

"Even in the Great Liang Kingdom, the crimes of the sinners will be read out before the execution, dare to ask General Sun, what capital crimes have these people committed?"

Because it was too quiet, Zuo Xingyan's voice reached the ears of everyone present.

The sin slaves all showed incredible eyes, but soon, their eyes became silent again, and they looked at Zuo Xingyan like a dead man.

Dare to make a voice to interrupt during the killing ceremony, and ask such a question, what is it not to look for death?

"You're going to die!" The aunt of the Jing family was frightened, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, trying to stay away from Zuo Xingyan: "If you want to die, don't affect the entire Jing family!" ”

Jing Zhong and Jing Jingnian were also a little stunned in their hearts, that Sun Feng looked like a bad god, which angered him, maybe he would really lose his head.

But Zuo Xingyan was not afraid at all.

Although Jing Beihan didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, he still took her hand and was ready to protect her in case of danger.

Sun Feng narrowed his eyes.

His eyes were not really as good as Zuo Xingyan's, and it wasn't until his subordinates came to pass the word that he knew that it was Zuo Xingyan who was asking.

He turned his hand behind his back, rubbed his fingers twice, and commanded his men: "Bring her up." ”

Soon, two soldiers came to Zuo Xingyan, one left and one right, to drive her away.

Jing Beihan and Jing Yannian stepped forward to protect Zuo Xingyan.

"It's okay, I'll go with them."

Zuo Xingyan pulled away Jing Beihan and Jing Yannian, raised his arms, and let Sun Feng's men take her away.

The boy was a little worried about her, and he tugged at the corner of her clothes and refused to let go.

Zuo Xingyan turned around and smiled: "It's okay." ”

Zuo Xingyan was driven in front of Sun Feng, Sun Feng pursed his lips, squinted at Zuo Xingyan, and spoke in a deep voice for a long time: "You ask these criminal slaves, what crime have they committed?" ”
