Chapter 260: Fire Mine (7)
The sky of the fire domain was overcast, and a wooden platform with a height of a foot was erected in an open space on the western outskirts of the capital, and a gloomy cold wind blew the flags on the wooden platform, and the hula sounded. The crowd of onlookers was blocked by soldiers in helmets and armor, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Oh, this Tian-sama's family is so beautiful, how can it be said that it will be extinguished?"
"Hey, you don't know yet," an old man with a long white beard lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Lord Tian's younger brother offended the Heavenly King and Earth Horse Master this time, and it is said that he cheated the Horse Master out of hundreds of thousands of taels of gold."
"Hundreds of thousands of taels of gold!" The people around the old man all gathered around, and when they heard the old man tell him the amount of gold, their eyes widened, and they looked at each other, their eyes shining and revealing an incredible gaze.
"That's a lot of numbers!"
"Hmph!" the old man stroked his white beard and said proudly: "Thinking about it, this Lord Tian is really bold, he actually detained the prince and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it can be said that he is the lord of power, and he covers the sky with one hand," the old man spread his hands and smiled disdainfully: "How about this? ”
"That makes sense. ”
Despite the noisy life and the old man's voice was not high, the words he said still reached the ears of the soldiers standing guard, and the sergeants still maintained their seriousness and majesty, and they turned a deaf ear to what the old man said, and the cold wind blew their faces as hard as iron. When a gong rang in the distance, the scene suddenly fell silent, and people held their breath and turned their eyes to an official road leading to the capital.
The sound of the gong approached, and a row of carriages with wooden cages rumbled. The first wooden cage was held by Tian Daren, who was famous for a time and is now a death row prisoner. Tian Daren had a thin face, his hair was in a messy bun, he was wearing a gray coarse cloth gown, and a big prisoner was written on his chest and back. Lord Tian's old eyes were gloomy, and his gray face had lost its former glory. He was originally small in stature, but now he cowered in a wooden cage like a rooster about to be slaughtered.
"Look at the way he looks, it's not even as good as a rooster. ”
"Hmph! The rooster can still crow twice, he can't even crow, rebellious thief, you also have today. ”
Several officials in the crowd who were ruined by Lord Tian and whose wives were separated looked at him with raised eyebrows and said angrily.
Immediately after Lord Tian was his henchmen, all of whom were thrown into the prisoner carts, and when a row of prisoner carts approached, the crowd crowded forward like a sea, almost knocking down the soldiers standing guard. Someone took advantage of the chaos to throw rotten eggs at the prisoner car, and the smell of rotten vegetable leaves spread in the prison car of those old men, and they didn't seem to smell it, and they didn't react at all. A rotten egg hit Tian Daren's forehead through the crack in the prisoner car, leaving a muddy and smelly liquid on his face. Lord Tian hung his head and didn't pay attention to it, looking depressed.
"Kill you dog! How many innocent people have you killed?"
"Tian San, you son of a bitch, you killed my daughter, you deserve it!"
There were shouts and scolding in the crowd, shaking out the unsightly things of those old men one by one, which aroused the excitement of the crowd, and vegetables and eggs were smashed like raindrops on the dozens of officials who were imprisoned in the prison car.
Behind the cart were the families of many adults, young and old, men and women, thousands of men, women, tied with ropes, flanked by soldiers escorting them. Those people knew that they were running to death, and their faces were solemn, and even the children and their daughters only quietly wept.
Mo Cong and the black-robed man with the tomahawk stood on another high platform, and they could clearly see the entire process of execution. Mo Cong didn't feel pity for the officials in the prisoner car, but when he saw the crowd behind him, including the elderly, women and children, he was faintly unhappy in his heart, glanced at the black-robed man with a tomahawk beside him, and said, "This is too cruel, isn't it even the old man and the child?"
The black-robed man looked coldly at the prisoner who was slowly marching, and said expressionlessly: "This is the emperor's will, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no one behind." ”
"Okay!" Mo Cong shook his head helplessly, after a period of getting along, Mo Cong finally had a general understanding of the black-robed people, those people, like dogs loyal to their masters, loyal to their emperor, they are like a machine, they will never look back until they complete the emperor's orders, and they don't know what panacea they have eaten, they are all amazingly powerful. Even at this moment, Mo Cong had already felt that the attack power of the tomahawk around him was much higher than his own. Mo Cong knew that he couldn't save the lives of those who were implicated by his own strength at the moment, so he had to endure it silently.
The prisoner cart has arrived at the execution ground, and the prisoners in the prisoner cart have been tied up and escorted to the wooden platform. Those officials and gentlemen who were majestic on weekdays all knelt in a row, and some of them were trembling and had already peed their pants. Tian San's face was pale, a foul smell emanated from the inside of his crotch, and a large piece of wet skin was also in front of him.
"The hour has come, and the prisoners have been identified and executed!"
The supervisor on the wooden platform commanded loudly, and the two executioners on either side of the two executioners, holding bright and dangling broadswords, shook their burly figures, and walked to the officials at each end of the road with fierce looks. The executioners' faces were painted with paint, and their expressions could not be seen clearly, but there was a sign of death in their sparkling eyes.
The executioner raised his broadsword alof, "Poof!", and the head of an adult was cut off, his body remained upright, and after a while, blood spurted from his neck, shooting into the sky like a fountain, spreading into red and bright blood beads and falling.
There was also a snort on the right, and it took less than half an hour for a human head to roll down, dozens of officials fell to the ground, and Tian San's head rolled off the wooden platform and was eaten by a group of wild dogs. The crowd erupted in cheers and cheers.
"After the execution, please judge the sentence!"
After the two executioners cut off the heads, they were like generals who had retreated from the battlefield, holding their heads high and shouting loudly. The warden on the stage raised his arm at them and nodded slightly.
Mo Cong stood on the high platform and was curious, and asked the tomahawk beside him, "What about those people? When will thousands of people be cut down?"
A rare smile appeared on Tomahawk's face, he looked at Mo Cong, and said, "Master Horse, the emperor said, it's a pity, Princess Mingzhu watched a good show in the palace, and today will open your eyes." ”
"What?" Mo Cong suddenly understood, there was a wooden fence behind the high platform, and those who were implicated were driven into the wooden fence, thinking that they were going to swallow them with monsters, and the amazing scene depicted by Chu Ci flashed in his mind, and Mo Cong felt sick for a while, and his mood was not very good.
"Master Horse, you don't have to panic, you can only use tea to deal with those people, which is faster than killing those who are officials!"
"The kung fu of tea?" Mo Cong was even more stunned, he had never seen the black-robed man with those monsters, and he didn't know where those beasts came from.
Mo Cong was summing up, and the battle axe beside him said: "Master Horse, please look!"
Mo Cong didn't have any preparation in his heart, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and looked into the improvised fence of the wooden planks. The people inside the planks did not know that disaster had fallen from the sky, and at this time there were no soldiers to guard them, and some people sat down to rest, and several women were still nursing their babies in their arms. Just when they were defenseless, a half-human, half-ant monster suddenly emerged from the ground. The beast had legs like a man, but it had the head and body of an ant, six arms, and two giant pincers. And this time, the antbeast was wearing this steel armor, and its body was shining with a faint blue light, which looked even more terrifying.
There was a great confusion in the crowd, and the howls and cries were incessant. But the beast did not hurry, but provoked and pounced on a woman who was nursing her child, and her long pointed mouth was plunged into the woman's chest, and a huge pincer caught the child in her arms, whose body was not more than three months old. In a matter of moments, his mother was a skin.
Just as the people were in shock, hundreds of the same antbeasts suddenly emerged from the ground. People dodged everywhere, but to no avail, and sure enough, as the black-robed man said, before the time of tea, men and women, old and young, had already turned into dry skins. The beasts were fed and drunk, and then they went back into the ground and disappeared.
"It turns out that these guys can actually make holes" Mo Cong was stunned for a long time, even if he wanted to save those people just now, he didn't have that chance.
"Master Horse, the mission of his subordinates has been completed, as for the prince's accession to the throne, please ask Master Horse to deal with it, farewell!"
The black-robed man respectfully arched his hand towards Mo Cong, and immediately a cloud of black mist rose and disappeared in an instant.
