Chapter Seventy-Five: A Handful of Scenery Before Death [6.6k]

Qingshui County,

Caishikou,

It is the best time to ask for the cut in late autumn, and if it is put in the early years, the people waiting outside to see the excitement are already a piece of Wuyang.

However, the scene of dozens of people being beheaded together was enough to deter ordinary people, even the executioner holding the red cloth knife was faintly stunned in his heart, not to mention that there were hundreds of brocade guards staring coldly next to him.

As a result, there are few people in the vegetable market that has always been lively after autumn, and only occasionally a few pairs of thieves' eyes can be seen from the cracks in the doors of the shops on the adjacent street.

"Let's do it."

Luo Congee waved his hand indifferently and ordered.

In an instant, four or five heads fell to the ground,

Cutting off the head is a technical job, just a knife to cut off the head completely, is a threshold, not to mention to ensure that the person who asks the beheading walks happily, these two points together have eliminated many people who want to eat this bowl of rice.

Therefore, there are not many executioners in each county, but one or two of them are also ancestral crafts, and even if they call all the apprentices, there are only four or five people in total.

The lack of executioners led to a long period of beheading, especially for those who were tied to their hands and feet and fell to their knees waiting for death.

The sounds of repentance, wails, and prayers were accompanied by the snorting of knives into flesh, and cold sweat mixed with blood dripping.

"Ah......h

But the only thing they could pray for now was to meet a master who was nimble, because just now one of the apprentices was too nervous, and the knife was a little off, and the strength was not enough.

Therefore, the knife was unexpectedly stuck in the gap of the spine, and it was not cut once, but it could not die for a while, and the terrible wail made people chill to hear.

"Tick, tick, tick......"

I don't know how long it took, but it finally fell silent, and the wooden platform that had been temporarily erected for the execution was soaked with blood, except for the sound of blood dripping down.

"Hoo ......"

The old executioner rubbed his already sore arm and breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was a little gloomy, the amount of this day was almost as good as the people killed in the previous half of his life.

Maybe it won't be long before I have to retire, after all, the executioners of these years pay attention to cutting off no more than 100 heads, which is also a rule handed down by our ancestors.

And the apprentices who were temporarily brought over to make up the number thought that they could become the mainstay of this industry after today, after all, there are not so many ordinary apprentices to practice.

"Get on the horse!"

"Go to the next place!"

After all the students died, Luo Congee also finished eating the last sugar gourd, and waved his hand after throwing away the wooden skewer in his hand.

"No!"

Behind him, hundreds of horsemen responded with a bang, turned on their horses, and galloped out of the city, because there were still several cities nearby, and there were still many scattered students in them.

"Gone?"

Someone in the shop on the street asked in a whisper.

"Gone!"

"Then why are you still stunned!"

"Go grab it, it'll be gone later!"

"Bang ......"

The voice fell,

When the noon sun fell in, it was found that in such a narrow shop, there were actually thirty or forty people hidden, and the long street that looked empty turned out to be nearly a thousand people.

With pots and pans in their hands, they stared at the execution table, not on the executioners, but on the dozens of corpses that had fallen to the ground, their eyes full of greed, as if they had seen silver falling all over the ground.

It turned out that what they were afraid of before was only those Jinyi guards riding tall horses and holding Yanling knives, not the scene of dozens of people cutting off their heads together, after all, it was not themselves who were killed.

"Bang Bang ......"

"God forbid!"

"God forbid!"

"Now my doll's tuberculosis has been cured!"

An iron basin under the execution table fell steadily to the place where the most blood dripped under the table, and an old woman looked at the blood dripping down, her eyes were full of ignorance and happiness.

He kept muttering something, if it weren't for his old age and infirmity that he couldn't rob those young people, he might have climbed to the platform and put the basin on the headless corpse to receive blood.

"Don't rob it!"

"Don't rob it!"

"These heads are mine!"

"Fuck me away, I'll take it back to boil soup to cure my aunt's brain disease!"

A big man in a leather skirt held a pig-killing knife, and alone occupied one side and roared loudly, and the rest of the people had to find another place when they saw this.

Fortunately, there were enough corpses, and the people who came first did not return empty-handed, but as more and more people gathered, the scene became noisy and lively.

And then came the looting,

It's the same as grabbing Chinese cabbage in the vegetable market.

At the corner of the long street,

Luo Congee listened to the sound behind him and glanced back, when the Jinyi Guards and others were far away, countless figures had poured out of the empty long street.

"In the end, it's still a world where one person eats people."

"Foolish?"

"Perhaps......"

Luo Congee shook his head with a wry smile and whispered to himself.

I killed myself because, if I didn't kill them, I would be killed by them, and according to the power and temperament of those people I had offended, in the end, maybe not even a single bone or dregs would be left......

In this cannibalistic world,

Kindness is the cheapest thing,

……

Shangjing,

Locke House,

When Luo Congee rushed back, the sky had darkened again, and before he knew it, two days and two nights had passed, and the black python robe he was wearing when he went out was once again stained dark red by blood.

It's hard to kill people,

It's a lot of money to kill too much,

Fortunately, there is more than one python robe, and the service is a symbol of status, showing the grace of the heavenly family.

After bathing, he changed into clean clothes, and the nerves that suddenly soothed after bathing and changing clothes made the fatigue sweep in again, Luo Congee still did not rest, but his thoughts sank into his mind to investigate.

【Host】Luo porridge

[Qi luck value] 2089500

【Character Book】Cao Zhengchun, Ding Xiu, Dugu Seeking Defeat, Qinglong,

When he drew Qinglong last time, he had more than 980,000 luck points left, and he accumulated 300,000 points after bulldozing the temples in Shangjing City, and then destroyed the Xie family in Qinghe County.

The weight of the family gate valve is far greater than Luo Congee's imagination, and the forty or fifty officials who have been killed on Yongle Street have made their luck close to the two million mark again.

In the past two days, he has killed more than 1,000 students, although they have no fame and power, and they are not very valuable, but they have also broken through the threshold of luck.

I haven't been waiting for the lottery now.,The lottery has a guaranteed bottom but the luck component is still too big.,But if you're willing to spend double the luck value, you can choose the designated person.,It's been shelved because it's not enough.。

However, in terms of the current situation, there are Dugu's predecessors sitting in Shangjing City to protect their own safety, Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang is also beginning to take shape, and the Qinglong under his hand is enough as a high-end combat power, and he is also in urgent need of a talent to expand the intelligence network and stir up the world, in a sense, his value is far better than that of two third-grade masters.

And this person,

After the incident in Qingshui City, there is already a clear candidate.

Luo Congee's heart moved, and the luck value accumulated over the past few days poured into the character book like a river bursting its embankment, and this time it didn't keep turning.

Instead, it stayed directly on the back page of the booklet, and with the influx of luck value, the originally dim figure also brightened until it became vivid.

"It looks like the establishment of the Espionage Division,"

"It's time to put it on the agenda."

Luo Congee said and waited quietly.

"Lord Luo, there is a scholar outside the door who asks to see you!"

Not long after,

Then came the voice of the porter.

"Invite him in."

Luo Congee waved his hand, and his gaze fell outside.

"Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaosheng, I've seen Lord Luo!"

The scholar first saluted when he entered,

Then he reported to his home.

"Let's talk about it."

"What happened?"

Luo Congee looked at the white clothes in front of him,

The scholar holding a folding fan said with interest.

"Two days ago, Luo's celebration banquet was too lively, Xiaosheng was hundreds of miles away, whether it was going to a restaurant, or Goolan Washe, he often heard people talk, and his ears were almost calloused."

"The rumors of the rivers and lakes have always spread very quickly, but they are far from being so fast, to see this scene, I think that Lord Luo also saved a thousand gold to buy horse bones, and deliberately spread the idea, Xiaosheng is not talented, but he also thinks that he has some ability, so he specially came to visit."

Bai Xiaosheng arched his hand.

"Oh?"

"Since the rumors of the rivers and lakes have spread so quickly and widely, why are most of the people who come to my Jinyi Guard these days just outlaws licking blood on the tip of the knife, but there are very few really capable people?"

When Luo Congee heard this, he also understood the identity of the arrangement that the system had arranged for him, and he had a little consideration in his heart, but he didn't know that now that he didn't have the intelligence network, he still had some ability.

"It's simple."

"Because everyone feels that Lord Luo's high-profile behavior will inevitably attract the emperor's suspicion and suppression, especially after the establishment of the Dongchang Yamen spreads, even if someone had the idea of investing in the school brocade guard earlier, wanting to earn that amount of money and wanting to wear that clothes, they can only be discouraged."

Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

"But Xiaosheng doesn't think so, since Lord Luo can still hold a banquet after the establishment of the Dongchang Yamen, he is naturally prepared, or a means to deal with it."

"Although Xiaosheng doesn't know what the adults have done in the past two days, he has left Beijing abruptly at this critical juncture, and he must have a lot to do with it."

"The same day such a high-profile act, it is not difficult to find the names of those officials in the city, the strange thing is that they left Beijing together in the past two days, and no one can be found, if nothing else, the people who took it away are an explanation to the emperor and the people of the world after the adults are done!"

Bai Xiaosheng didn't hesitate to say.

"Not bad!"

Luo Congee quietly listened to these words and nodded with satisfaction, after all, there was no intelligence network in his previous life, and it was extremely rare to be able to deduce to the point of being inseparable just by relying on some superficial clues.

"Your Excellency praises it!"

"The world only knows the crisis of Jinyiwei, but they can't see through it, now is the time for the hidden dragon to take off!"

"It's not talented."

"But I'm also willing to help add a gust of wind to the adults."

Bai Xiaosheng put away the paper fan and arched his hand forward to show his intentions.

"Since it's been said so bluntly."

"Then the official asks you, if you separate all the saucers and eyeliner of the Beizhen Fusi Division together, set up a separate spy department, and entrust it to you, how far can you go?"

Luo Congee asked.

"The Espionage Division?"

Bai Xiaosheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect the person in front of him to be so decisive, you must know that the Jinyi Guard of the previous dynasty was able to run rampant in the world, and more than half of the credit was on this information, and now he is indeed willing to entrust it directly to himself.

After thinking about it, he also looked at the young man in the python robe in front of him, and saw that the appearance of red lips and white teeth was a few points better than himself, but the anger that was full of anger even if he had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time had never seen it, and he didn't know how many people he had killed to raise it, so it was no wonder that he had such courage.

"Hmm!"

Luo Congee said firmly.

"Xiaosheng is not talented, but he has also read a lot of books, saying that he knows astronomy above and geography below, and he is also well versed in espionage, looking at the world, he can also be regarded as a well-informed person, if he is in charge of the spy department."

"Whether it's a matter of the rivers and lakes, or a court affair......"

"Nothing is unknowable......

Bai Xiaosheng's thoughts were open, but his words still unconsciously revealed a bit of arrogance.

"Oh?"

Luo Congee was not angry, because he knew very well in his heart that although he was absolutely loyal, his original temperament had not changed, he was originally a scholar with a strange personality, talent, and frivolity.

"The court, the rivers and lakes, is there nothing unknowable?"

Luo Congee smiled undeniably when he heard this, this is not wrong, he did it in his previous life, the court, the rivers and lakes are still too small.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Bai Xiaosheng frowned.

"What this official wants is that wherever my brocade guard rides through, it is the land under his jurisdiction, and where the spy department passes, this official can see it!"

Luo Congee looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said softly, after all, he had never doubted Bai Xiaosheng's ability, but he was in the middle of the rivers and lakes, and his vision was still a little smaller.

"You know, this world is actually quite big."

"It's not a great place to leave a country."

Luo Congee got up and patted him on the shoulder and said, in his previous life, he relied on the intelligence network in the rivers and lakes and a weapon book to stir up the world, playing with the heroes, and now he gave him the entire spy department, why can't he know the world?

"On the contrary, Xiaosheng is a little short-sighted."

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned for a long time when he heard this, with a trace of bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he came, he had to admit that his vision was a little narrower, but he still retracted his mind very quickly.

How can a person who can use the blood of the world's heroes and heroes to dye that weapon book so unbearable?

"As Lord Luo said!"

"Where the Espionage Division has passed,"

"Your ears will hear, and your eyes will see!"

Bai Xiaosheng pondered for a long time and then looked at Luo Congee and said solemnly. is a person with a very high heart, and he will never give up if he promises to fall.

"Lord Luo!"

At this time, Ding Xiu also walked in, looking a little anxious, obviously having something important to say.

"Lord Luo, you have already raised eyebrows about the Shangjing Academy that you told the lower officials to investigate!"

Ding Xiu reported inside, but the corner of his eye still fell on the white-faced scholar, and there was a little suspicion in his eyes.

"Say, they're not outsiders."

"His name is Bai Xiaosheng, and he said a few days ago that Beizhen Fusi would divide a part, and he was the candidate personally selected by the official."

Luo Congee explained.

"In this way, then the subordinate will not shy away from it."

"Lord Luo, the team of spies who were in charge of probing Cai Mingqi's whereabouts earlier have already figured out where he went before returning to the academy, which is in Guozijian!"

"Guozijian?"

"If I'm not mistaken."

"The sacrificial wine of the Guozijian is also surnamed Xie?"

"Could it be that this is the fault of the Xie family?"

Luo Congee said suspiciously.

"Hui Yu, after the lower officials found out, they also sent someone to the yamen overnight to check, that Xie Wenyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Xie Wenwen, the priest of the country, and Xie Wenbo, the servant of the household department, are the brothers of the same mother, I am afraid that as the adults said, this matter is the responsibility of the remnants of the Xie family."

"I see!"

Luo Congee said clearly, the surname Xie is a big surname, there are many officials surnamed Xie in the court, and these people have almost never had any contact with each other, and they have never targeted themselves.

So I've never thought about it in this way, and now that I've pierced this layer of window paper, everything is clear.

"That Cai Mingqi's death is thought to be the hand of Xie Wenwen, but that person is already dead, and there is no evidence to say about his death, and there is no clue to investigate it further......"

"In addition, this person is from the gate, there is no shortage of silver, there is no corruption and bribery, as a sacrificial wine, he has been responsible for managing the Guozijian, and he rarely goes out of the gate, and rarely interacts with people, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch his handle......"

"And in the past two days, my lord, the news that those academy students were killed has been spread to the capital city, and the city is in an uproar."

"And the hundreds of students who marched on the streets of the country and the eunuch stopped together, and they didn't give the officials a reason to arrest people at all."

"Just a little earlier, there were a large number of radical students who had already taken food and bedding to live on Suzaku Street outside the imperial city, and they were not noisy, and many of them were the sons of nobles, and the Praetorian Guards had no way or courage to forcibly drive them away......"

"Xia Guan tried to lead people to forcibly expel him, but all of them were fucking like hob meat, and they ate Xia Guan to death and didn't dare to use a knife under the root of the imperial city......

Ding Xiu said with a bitter face.

"In this way, they are going to wait until tomorrow when they go to the court, and it will be fine for a day or two, but it will inevitably change after a long time, which is not good for adults......" Bai Xiaosheng listened for a while, and he understood what happened, and his brows tightened and pondered.

If you are outside the city, you can still find an excuse to kill people unscrupulously, but outside the imperial city just across the wall, if you still act like that, it is no different from directly pulling the flag to rebel.

What's more, the identities of those students in prison in Guozijian are different from those students who don't have half of their fame in the academy, they can be regarded as half an official and have some weight.

"Lord Luo, Xiaosheng has a way."

After thinking for a moment,

Bai Xiaosheng walked up to Luo Congee and said,

"Well, just say it."

Luo Congee's gaze fell on Bai Xiaosheng and said.

"They were originally used as gunmen, not to mention, as far as Xiaosheng knows, most of the students of those Guozijian are the sons of the nobles of the DPRK, and they can also hear some of the situation between the DPRK and China from their parents, and they are not pure stupid and pedantic people."

"Most of them are just bewitched by others, and they are just enthusiastic for a while, if Xiaosheng can mix in it, act in a big play, point out the stakes, and add a three-inch tongue in the mouth, incite, provoke, it may not be impossible for them to turn the gun!"

"Let the people behind the scenes suffer their own consequences!"

Bai Xiaosheng groaned.

"Can this be done?"

Luo Congee Fox said suspiciously.

"Lord Luo!"

"Don't forget that Xiaosheng is also a reader."

Bai Xiaosheng said that he had done the etiquette of a scholar, he was a scholar with a white face, and he still had an unruly temperament, if he took off this eye-catching white dress and changed into the standard clothes of the students of Guozijian, it would be no different from the students who walked with their nostrils in Luo Congee's eyes.

As for his ability to demagogue people and provoke from them, Luo Congee is convinced, not to mention just a few students, even those heroes who have traveled north and south of the country and are accustomed to seeing people's hearts and sinister hearts have also been recruited countless times.

"Hmm!"

"That's a good idea!"

Luo Congee thought for a while and nodded.

"However, this official still has an idea."

"My lord, please speak!"

"The person surnamed Xie can use them without hurting himself, it is nothing more than grasping a scale, in this case, why don't we help him completely break this scale and make the nature of things rise a little?"

"Lord Luo, what do you mean?"

Bai Xiaosheng was also stunned when he heard this.

"You got into it, found the right time, secretly arched the fire, caused their riot, and then, stormed the palace gate, beheaded the forbidden army, and other such rebellious things, think about it, after this incident, it's not too much to calm the eunuch of the other country, right?"

Luo Congee asked rhetorically.

Bai Xiaosheng may not be able to defeat a killing machine like Qinglong, but according to the cost of the character book, it is also the cultivation of the third grade, and it is not difficult to hide in the crowd and take advantage of the chaos to open the palace gate, or kill a few guards.

As for whether other people have done it, or whether they have woken up and stopped in time, these don't matter, after all, in the name of rebellion, they are very good at implicating and killing.

"This ......"

"If you do this, how will you deal with yourself in the future?"

Bai Xiaosheng's heart was shaken, and he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Didn't Your Majesty always want this official to be a lonely minister?"

"This official also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to offend the nobles of the court and the civil and military officials to death, and then completely become a lonely minister......

Luo Congee is not in a hurry.

"However, in this way, even if you act too unscrupulously in the name of rehabilitation, Your Majesty will inevitably re-evaluate the weight of Jinyiwei now......

"In this way, isn't it ...... over there in the East Factory?"

Bai Xiaosheng also opened his mouth when he heard this, and he didn't know how to continue.

"Oh?"

"East Factory?"

"It's also a good thing that the chain in Dongchang is completely tied to my Jinyiwei's neck, after all, Your Majesty can rest assured, and it will be convenient for my Jinyiwei to expand......"

Luo Congee smiled meaningfully.

"My lord, are you in the East ......?"

Bai Xiaosheng also guessed something from these three words.

"Since the adults have been preparing for a long time!"

"That little student, let's go down and prepare!"

Bai Xiaosheng took a deep breath and said.

"Why do you still call yourself a little student?"

"Xiaguan, you will definitely live up to the trust of your lords!"

Bai Xiaosheng said solemnly.

"Ding Xiu, where is it!"

After Bai Xiaosheng left,

Luo Congee turned around and continued to order.

"Xiaguan, here!"

Ding Xiu knelt down and answered.

"Go and let those Jinyi Wei officials on the roster yesterday call them to the school to wait, they have worked hard in the past two days, and they have dug and filled the pits, if they are too aggrieved to die, this official is really uneasy to ...... conscience."

"Tomorrow, I have to take them to do a great thing that tops the sky, and let them come to this world in vain to go through ......"

"Let them have a good life before they die!"

Luo Congee looked in the direction of the imperial city and waved his sleeves.

was blocked, and a few hundred words were deleted...... Absolute Son
