Chapter 146: Execution

Since the last battle with the Wakos, I haven't encountered any enemies for the rest of the journey.

"At the current speed, how long will it take to reach Quanzhou?"

Hu Zongxian summoned the guards outside the cabin and asked.

"Report to the Governor, and you can arrive in Quanzhou tomorrow."

Seeing Hu Zongxian's question, the guard hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Well, the official knows, you go down."

After Hu Zongxian got the answer he wanted, he asked the guards to go back.

After the guards left, Hu Zongxian sat back in his place boredly.

In recent days, whenever he felt bored, Hu Zongxian went to the deck and used a telescope to look at the scenery along the way.

"I don't know what's going on over there at the Governor's Palace?"

Hu Zongxian was quite worried about the situation in the Governor's Palace, and then picked up the teapot on the side and poured himself a cup of tea.

……

Since the last raid on the Wen family, everyone in the Wen family, including their slaves, has been sent to prison on trumped-up charges.

After the Wen family lost power, the share of illegal salt sales that it once occupied was also divided up by other illegal salt dealers! Not only that, but those people also pooled a sum of money together and bribed the prison governor to arrange for his guards to "take care" of the once majestic head of the Wen family.

I have to say that the power of silver is very powerful! Wen Pingyi was soon tortured, and his entire will was completely consumed.

only heard a 'squeak', Wen Pingyi's cell was pushed open by the jailers, and when Wen Pingyi saw this, he thought that this group of jailers had come to find his stubble again, so he hurriedly curled up in the corner, not daring to move.

"Master Wen, don't be nervous! We're here to bring you food. ”

The jailer said, and also carried the food box in his hand.

"What are you doing...... I...... I have no more money to give you now. ”

Hearing the jailer's words, Wen Pingyi still looked cowering as before, plucked up his courage, and replied.

"Master Wen, you don't need to spend money on this meal! Every prisoner who comes in, if he is lucky enough and commits a serious enough crime, will be able to get such a meal. The jailer took out the food from the box one by one and placed it on the table.

"I mean, this ...... This is ......" Hearing the jailer's words, Wen Pingyi's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, and then pointed to the food on the table, unable to speak for a long time.

"Master Wen, you guessed right, this meal is a severed head meal, after eating this meal, you can go on the road with peace of mind!"

"Don't blame our brothers, we are just collecting cashiers, if we don't collect this silver, we won't be able to live! You took good care of us before, we have to remember this kindness, don't we? Wait to see Lord Yama, please say a few kind words for us. ”

"In the future, when the New Year is celebrated, those of us who are alive will also give you some paper money to burn, so that you will not end up with a lonely ghost."

After the jailer finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Wen Pingyi alone, staring at the table of food in a daze.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect my Wen to end up in such a situation."

Wen Pingyi smiled, smiling sadly.

After a long time, I saw Wen Pingyi solemnly pick up the bowl and begin to savor the last meal of his life.

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang's Governor's Palace.

At this moment, Zheng Michang was sitting at the top of the meeting hall, listening to the report of the visitor.

"Your Excellency, everything is arranged! Are you going to do it yourself or do you want to ......?"

"Do you need to ask? For such important matters, the official must personally supervise and behead! ”

Zheng Michang glanced at the visitor and said coldly.

"Yes, the lower official will arrange it."

After the visitor finished speaking, he walked away quickly.

Looking at the back of the departing person, Zheng Michang immediately got up from the seat, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said to himself silently: "Wen Pingyi, Wen Pingyi, don't think about eating alone in the next life, let the official come to see you off for the last time!" ”

Zheng Michang said and drank the tea in the cup.

……

After Wen Pingyi enjoyed the last meal of his life, he and his family were put into a special prison car for transporting death row prisoners, and escorted all the way to the vegetable market for execution.

"What kind of business are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and go to the vegetable market to see the beheading! ”

"Who are you chopping?"

"Nonsense, of course it's those smugglers of the Wen family, I heard that the political envoy will personally supervise the beheading!"

"Hmph, this Wen family is really innocent, if I were a political envoy, I would definitely have to kill him alive, so it's hard enough to look at it like that!"

"What are you doing? Let's go! ”

"Wait, I'll pack my things first......"

Soon, the news that everyone in the Wen family was going to be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market spread throughout the city of Hangzhou.

Those who have free will rush to the vegetable market early in the morning in the hope of finding an excellent position to watch the punishment, and those who are not free are begging those who are on the scene to repeat it to themselves after reading it! And many street vendors have also put down their work and went to the vegetable market.

Before the time came, the scene of the execution was already crowded with people!

The person standing in the back didn't really see it, so he squeezed to the front, and the person in front also wanted to watch the beheading up close, so he also squeezed to the front.

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Seeing that the crowd was becoming more and more restless, the official in charge of maintaining order yelled loudly.

But to no avail, the crowd kept crowding in! Later, the official who was responsible for maintaining order at the scene brought a few people out of the crowd and beat them up before the crowd stopped.

"Ouch, who is so short-sighted and stepped on my foot!"

"Eh, where's my money? Get out of the way, my money has been stolen! ”

"Ouch, who kicked me in the back!"

The crowd no longer squeezed forward, but became noisy, and the smell of sweat, fish, medicinal herbs, and all kinds of smells were intertwined, which made people sick.

"Quiet, the envoy has arrived!"

After this voice, the crowd gradually quieted down, and then turned their attention to the prisoners who were escorted up, and Zheng Michang, who was wearing an official uniform and sitting precariously.

At this time, Wen Pingyi and his family were all changed into the clothes of death row prisoners, and on their backs, there was also a wooden board with their names and crimes written on it!

On the wooden board, there is also a chopping word, and a red circle is drawn on the chopping word, and a big red cross is drawn on the red circle.

Time passed like this, and just when the people at the scene were already waiting a little impatiently, Zheng Michang looked at the sun in the sky, and then took out a wooden stick from the small wooden tube on the table, threw it on the ground, and said loudly: "Three o'clock in the afternoon has arrived, cut!" ”

At this time, Wen Pingyi was pressed to the ground by the executioner, reluctantly turned his gaze to Zheng Michang, and said, "Hmph, Lord Bu Political Envoy!" Wen is waiting for you below! ”

Then I saw the executioner spray a mouthful of liquor on the knife, and then raised the knife high, and then the knife fell in his hand, and blood splashed everywhere!

Wen Pingyi and his family, a total of thirty-six people up and down, all of them are beheaded!

"Good, good!"

Seeing the head rolling to the ground, the crowd at the scene suddenly erupted into an extremely enthusiastic voice.

"Hmph, it's really unlucky, this Wen Pingyi is dying, and he still wants to curse the official!"

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he spat on the ground and left the scene.
