Chapter 64: Execution of the Guilty
And above the clouds of Yuezhou City in the distance, a god was stepping on the clouds to come to the Martial Soul Heavenly Drum, and suddenly felt the thunder of the nine heavens, and his heart was also slightly shocked, he looked at Tianyu in surprise, but there was no further movement.
The four divine generals guarding the four corners of the Martial Spirit Heavenly Drum also looked at the sky and looked at the distant mortal dust, not knowing why there was thunder just now.
"Xingjun, why did the thunder sound just now?"
Wuqu Xingjun was dressed in a red brocade robe as if it was fused with his own divine light, and he retracted his gaze after looking at the four directions of Tianyu.
"It's just that there are occasional changes in the qi engine, which stirs up clouds and water, and it is the natural norm of heaven and earth, so you don't have to care."
Generally, this kind of clear thunder is only the power of one blow, and sure enough, as Wuqu Xingjun said, the thunder is just like this, and there is no movement after that.
Wuqu Xingjun walked to the Martial Soul Heavenly Drum, grabbed the Heavenly Drum and drumstick, and hit the drum surface, and with a blow, Huaguang erupted with the sound of the drum.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"
On the corner tower of the northwest city wall of Yuanjiang County, Yi Shuyuan looked at the side of Tianyu and could see that the martial soul heavenly drum was exposed again, and the god man was beating the drum in the sky.
Ah Fei saw Yi Shuyuan looking at the sky, and subconsciously looked in that direction, and in a trance, he seemed to faintly hear some movement again.
"Senior Yi, I don't know if it's my delusion, it seems that there is a drum?"
Yi Shuyuan looked back at Ah Fei.
"Maybe there are gods beating drums in the sky."
Ah Fei only regarded it as Yi Shuyuan's joke, lifted the wine jug and poured wine into his mouth, and mentioned the matter.
"When I came to the county seat today, I saw that an execution table was being built at the corner of the street, and it should be that the criminals in that case were all executed, and this case should be considered closed, right? In that case, did the seniors have the time to go to Yuezhou City to join in the fun? ”
Yi Shuyuan shook his wine jug and looked in one direction in the city, as if he could see the torture platform.
"It's over, the execution will be carried out the day after tomorrow, as for joining in the fun, let's see."
Although this case is not perfect, it can only be said that the imperial court has the considerations of the imperial court, and the emperor has the emperor's thoughts, and now this is already considered courageous, after all, Yuanjiang County is here to kill a Jia Yuntong and his minions and some warriors, but in Wuzhou, he was killed and dismissed, and almost the entire Wuzhou officialdom was wiped out, and there were more people who were jointly disposed of such as the Sky Whale Gang.
If it weren't for the Yuezhou Martial Arts Conference and the Shanhe Immortal Furnace Diagram that attracted a lot of attention, the Wuzhou Salt Case brought out by Yuanjiang County would definitely be even more sensational.
"The day after tomorrow? Then I'll go back after watching the execution, anyway, the martial arts conference will be on the first day of the new year, and there will be a few more days. ”
"You better eat quickly, go back to the inn early after eating to breathe, you have exhausted your internal strength today, don't lose the first game."
Yi Shuyuan teased this, and Ah Fei smiled.
Since Ah Fei's cultivation of the Pure Heart Technique was on the right track, his internal strength was endless, and the more he was depleted, the more refined he would be after each recovery, and the recovery speed would be faster, and one night would be enough to recover.
-----------------
On March 27, it was an important day for the people of Yuanjiang County to watch the excitement, because Jia Yuntong was about to be executed.
Of course, because of the martial arts conference, it is not only the locals of Yuanjiang County who watch the excitement together, in addition to some foreign merchants, there are also a lot of martial artists in the rivers and lakes, and Ah Fei is mixed in the crowd like some martial artists.
At the archway at the entrance of the central street of Yuanjiang County, the execution platform has been erected, and the surrounding area is full of guards, while Yuanjiang County's own officials are only maintaining order on the periphery to prevent the common people from getting too close.
This side of the street has long been surrounded by water, and some people have even brought stools from their own homes to get a superior viewing position, not to mention several teahouses and restaurants near the street entrance, the upstairs position has long been occupied.
If it weren't for the martial artists, they would sell the official mansion to save face in the case of the Yuezhou Conference, but I was afraid that some people would also stand on the roof.
It's just that He Xin's family still couldn't arrive at this moment after all, maybe the road is still too far for ordinary people.
On the execution platform, Jia Yuntong and a group of prisoners were tied up and knelt in a row, including some vicious servants under Jia Yuntong, as well as Sun Shiwan and the few Heavenly Whale Gang warriors who were arrested in Yuanjiang County.
These people arrested in Yuanjiang County were executed here, while most of the other prisoners who needed to be executed were executed on the same day in Wuzhou.
In addition to the executioner next to the criminals, there was a black big knife next to Jia Yuntong.
There were also several tables on the execution table, and there were three people sitting behind the table, one was the county magistrate Lin Xiu, the other was the Yuezhou general sentence, and the other was the inspection of the Imperial Supervision Department.
Jia Yuntong knelt over there, feeling the cold air of the knife beside him, his body couldn't stop swinging, and the few former servants next to him were also unbearable.
A few people in the rivers and lakes were either dead in their hearts, or kneeling there with expressionless faces, but they were quite peaceful, but in the face of the countless onlookers around them, some of them had some complexity in their eyes.
"Why don't you kill your head?" "yes, I've been standing for so long."
"You know, wait until noon!"
"Huh? I'm waiting for me to go back to dinner! ”
"Then you go back, hey, don't squeeze me!"
"Tea, tea~~~ a penny, selling tea, a penny a lamp...... Let Jean, hey let Jean, sell tea, hey let me pass ......"
Some people waited to see the heads killed, some people did business here, and the officials used burning sticks in front of them, and from time to time shouted to the people to pull back.
Yi Shuyuan and some people in the yamen are somewhat privileged, and they can watch from a relatively spacious position behind the execution table, and in addition to Wu Minggao and Chu Hang, there are also Yang Zhutou and the old sect leader who have been familiar with Yi Shuyuan because of the exchange of martial arts during this time.
The old head of the sect would have quipped.
"We haven't cut off our heads in Yuanjiang County for many years, but I didn't expect that this year's chopping will be a string, and Mr. Yi's county chronicles can't miss this paragraph."
"That's nature."
Yi Shuyuan responded, but his eyes looked to the other side, where a child was hugged by a slightly nervous woman, and the woman's eyes looked at Jia Yuntong in a daze, with some complexity in her eyes.
Looking at the crowd again, in addition to the people who were looking forward to it, there were also many people from the rivers and lakes who were also waiting, and Ah Fei was standing next to the pillar of a shop.
Alack......
A gust of imperceptible wind blew, Yi Shuyuan immediately looked sideways, and saw that a team of yin errands had already come to the side of the execution ground, some with swords, some with chains on their waists, and some with big black umbrellas.
"Mr. Yi!"
Led by Sun Heng, he arched his hand in the direction of Yi Shuyuan, and Yi Shuyuan naturally did not return the salute at the moment, nodding slightly in response.
Yin Si is ready to collect the soul.
The shadow of the sun corona not far away gradually pointed to noon, and the imperial court over there looked at Lin Xiudao.
"Lord Lin, please."
Lin Xiu nodded, and slowly stood up as the chief supervisor today, and because of his action, many onlookers around him also slowly quieted down.
"Shhhhh "Don't argue, don't argue!"
"Look, look!"
......
The otherwise noisy streets quickly became somewhat quiet.
Lin Xiu looked at the row of people kneeling on the execution table, took out an arrow from the table, and gave an order in a neutral voice as he threw the arrow.
"It's noon, execution—"
The arrow was thrown to the ground, and the executioner and the two officials walked to Jia Yuntong's side, whose entire body was almost paralyzed, and his breathing became very short.
The executioner pulled the knife apart, and the two officials dragged Jia Yuntong to the knife seat of the knife.
"Uh......hh
Jia Yuntong wanted to say something, but his mouth trembled violently, and he subconsciously looked at the woman and child over there, but he couldn't say a complete sentence, and the people around him seemed to feel his fear, and even most of the onlookers were now silent.
And in the direction that Jia Yuntong looked, the woman blindfolded the child's eyes.
The executioner on one side moved his shoulders, then grabbed the long handle of the knife with both hands, lifted all his strength, and pressed down suddenly.
"Croaking ......"
"Ho uh ......"
The sound of the knife cutting flesh and bones sounded, but Jia Yuntong did not scream for the first time, but inhaled silently, and the blood, internal organs and dirt instantly stained the knife base of the knife and part of the execution table.
Many people choose to blindfold their children, and many people close their eyes themselves.
But soon, Jia Yuntong felt the pain for a long time, and it became more and more intense.
"Uh-ho...... Kill, kill me, kill me...... Please, please, give me a good time, ho uh......"
The reason why the beheading is cruel is that after being beheaded, people do not die immediately, but have to endure extreme fear and pain for a period of time.
Jia Yuntong's lower body twitched there, his upper body stretched out his hand to crawl, and the screams of pain gradually weakened into wailing, and then gradually turned into silent twitching, until after a while, Jia Yuntong completely lost his breath and died.
The mother and son who had a special relationship with Jia Yuntong had already left, and it could only be said that they were lucky that they were not implicated and executed together, because the principle of the imperial court this time was to respect the punishment of the Yuanjiang County Order.
In Yi Shuyuan's eyes, the Yin Hook Soul Rope had already shot towards Jia Yuntong.
"Jia Yuntong, it's time to go to the underworld!"
In the sneering laughter of Yin Cha, the soul hook messenger pulled the chains, and the souls of Jia Yuntong's upper and lower bodies were hooked out, and they were reduced to a human form under the big black umbrella of Yin Cha, but the gap that was broken in two could still be seen, and the blood was very terrifying.
Jia Yuntong was still in a trance, and only woke up like a dream after a while, and then looked around in a panic.
"Yincha!"
Jia Yuntong's scream was full of fear, because what Yi Shuyuan had said had never become so clear and intuitive.
The yin on the side didn't pay attention to Jia Yuntong.
Then came the other prisoners, one by one, begging for mercy or crying bitterly or being numb.
The executioner sprayed the broadsword with wine, and as the knife fell again and again, a person's head rolled down on the execution table, and blood flew out a few feet away, and the onlookers had already retreated a long distance in the process.
It turns out that beheading is so terrible!
The last one was the gibbon Sun Shiwan, who had been restrained and silent before, and finally couldn't help it, and yelled at the prison platform.
"I don't accept - I don't accept - I'm not a member of the Sky Whale Gang, stuff me into the Sky Whale Gang, and arbitrarily arrange the crime of rebellion, this is the justice and strictness of the imperial court? As a martial artist, how can I not participate in the Yuezhou Martial Arts Conference, even if I want to die, I have to wait for the conference to end, I am not convinced-"
Ah Fei, who was at the back of the crowd, burst out with a roar at this moment.
"You and other martial arts scum are also trying to participate in this martial arts event, so as to be less ashamed of our warriors-"
"Jianghu scum!" "That's right, it's a little fucking to the martial arts conference-"
Although there are many warriors who are silent, there are also many warriors who respond.
Lin Xiu, who was on the platform, sneered.
"This official only knows that it is not a pity for you to die, and there is no need for this official to repeat which cases you have memorized, behead!"
The executioner did not hesitate, and at this moment the broadsword fell again.
"Poof......
When blood gushed out, Sun Shiwan, a good hand who once had a certain reputation in the rivers and lakes, rolled down.
When all the prisoners were beheaded, the crowd was quiet for a while, both from the execution table and the onlookers, and then it was unknown who shouted the first "yes", and soon the crowd became excited.
"Good!" "Well done—"
"Rid the people of harm!" "Well done!"
"Kidnappers should be damned!"
