Chapter 1 Autumn Wind and Cold
The foggy sky, the squeezing dark clouds are lined up, the cold weather and the cold autumn wind are biting the earth, Zhuang Xun is carrying the wine jar, the other hand is wrapped in clothes, and his eyes look at the avenue.
The wide avenue was full of ordinary people, their eyes full of anger, making the cold environment seem scorching, and as the prisoner car arrived, the pedestrians on both sides gave them the most distinct attitude.
Rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves...... Forcefully threw at the relatives of these treasonous sinners, expressing their simple feelings.
The general Siqin Shengjing took his son Siqin Yingming, defected to the battle, the elite of the 300,000 dynasty surrendered without a fight, the enemy drove straight into the Lingguan, plundered the land of the West River, the people were displaced, and many victimized refugees were mixed in the people, this hatred made them want to tear apart this gang of traitors with their own hands, just throwing vegetable leaves and eggs has been the guards on both sides to maintain it.
The Yu Dynasty is rotten, corrupt from top to bottom, rotten, but no matter how bad the order is, it is better than no order, these refugees whose families are ruined and displaced know this very well, and now their hatred comes to the families of the generals who caused all this.
"Kill her, kill her......" is the focus of care is a woman, but also the source of everyone's hatred, Siqin Shengjing's eldest daughter Siqin Mi, the general's family absconded, leaving Si Qin Mi who married alone, and now the emperor has ordered that all the families of the generals who participated in the defection will be killed, and Si Qin Mi, who married and did not escape, became a victim of all trials.
And Zhuang Xun, today's target is her.
The prisoner cart was decompressed and arrived at the execution ground, and a group of people knelt down to fill these families that were still enviable not long ago, with old men in their seventies and eighties, and few weak young sons who were still waiting to be breastfed.
They also looked at Si Qinmi with hatred, as if they saw the traitor represented behind her, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, eager to eat her flesh raw.
If there was no Siqin Shengjing to take the lead, how could they be reduced to such a situation.
"Farewell to loved ones!" The order was issued, but no one at the execution site moved.
Zhuang Xun looked left and right, no one moved, everyone's eyes were full of accumulated anger, and they needed to wait for the completion of this verdict to vent.
"Farewell to loved ones." The warden gave the order again.
Helpless, Zhuang Xun walked out, carrying thousands of pairs of eyes and carrying a wine jug.
In the face of the anger of the people, she ran with small steps and came to a stained, haggard woman, whose face was full of wounds from stones, blood and green leaves, and rotten eggs constituted a terrifying composition, and it was no longer possible to see the dignified and sacred of the past.
"You are?" The woman looked up in confusion.
"Thank you for your wife's recommendation of kindness, and I'm here to give my wife a ride." Zhuang Xun knelt down and opened the flask.
"Maybe Mrs. Siqin can't remember, a year ago, you casually asked someone to help you find a job, and it was only then that you were able to get out of refugee status and survive." Zhuang Xun carefully poured out the sake.
"I don't remember that there are a lot of refugees who have been helped by concubines, but you still remember, it's not easy to repay them, but in fact, you shouldn't come." Si Qinmi knows what kind of situation she is, and now people are tired of dogs, even the maid who has followed her for many years is eager to step on her foot and make a clear relationship with herself, the young man in front of her braves the big disapproval to see him off, she doesn't dare to think about what will happen to him in the future.
"Out of my heart, Mrs. Siqin, drink the wine, and the pain of the execution will be lighter for a while." Zhuang Xun shook his head and picked up the poured wine, he didn't know that what he was doing now was to go to the haystack with a fire fold, but when he thought of it, he naturally did it, he was not a gentleman, nor a villain.
"A good one out of my heart, I have helped so many people, only you are out of my heart." Si Qinmi's smile was revealed, but how miserable she looked.
"Everyone is just afraid, and they are wise to protect themselves." Zhuang Xun handed the bowl to Siqin Mi's mouth, and Siqin Mi slowly tilted his head and drank the wine.
"The concubine's father is also a wise man to protect himself, and the country only has a wise person to protect himself, how can he stand up for the country, good wine, bitter wine." Siqin Mi sighed lightly, and there was a hint of brilliance in her eyes.
"These are all things that the Minister is worried about, and it is not my turn to be a little bookkeeper." Simply stating the facts, Zhuang Xun didn't think that the major affairs of this country could have anything to do with him.
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband...... The daughter of the concubine and the guilty minister, let the foot see the smile. After another drink, Siqin Mi felt a little refreshed.
"No, Mrs. Si Qin's bearing is indeed extraordinary, and it is no wonder that the general did not dare to inform Mrs. Si Qin to flee together." People are dying, and Zhuang Xun does not doubt that her words at this moment are somewhat true.
"The family is unfortunate, and the death of the concubine cannot be washed, and he is supported by the state, and he takes the anointment of the people, and defects to the battle, and he is ashamed of the country's society, and he only wants to die to relieve the people's anger." Siqin Mi lamented.
"Respect for Mrs. Grace." Zhuang Xun looked at her with admiration as he picked up the wine glass and handed it to her mouth.
"Good wine, good wine, you can still taste such good wine before you die, someone sees off the concubine, and it is not in vain in this life, in the next life, the concubine will repay the kindness." Siqin Mi raised her head and said solemnly after drinking.
"I don't know how to drink, I don't know how to drink, I just buy it casually, and I can't afford this kind of praise." Zhuang Xun waved his hand.
"Drinking needs to have the artistic conception of drinking, if the wine is really not good, but at this moment, bitter wine is the best, moisturizing the heart and lungs." Siqin Mi exclaimed.
Zhuang Xun listened to her more and more open tone, and was about to pour her another wine.
"No need to pour it, three cups are enough." Siqin Mi shook her head slightly.
"I'm really drunk, and it's hard for Hades to answer questions."
Seeing death as home, her spirit was felt solemnly, and after bowing her head, she lifted the wine jar, and the wine was sprinkled on the ground in front of her.
"And for Mrs. Siqin, please bless you with the ghosts and gods to reach the Six Paths smoothly." Zhuang Xun solemnly said that he was infected by Siqin Mi.
"The daughter of a concubine who is a criminal minister, I'm afraid that she is going to enter the animal path, and in the next life, I am willing to repay the grace of this farewell for the sake of the cattle and horses, and dare to ask the name of the foot." Siqin Mi thanked again.
"Then how can I repay Mrs. Siqin for your kindness in the first place, you and I have clear accounts, why do you need to know my name, besides, Mrs. is kind, she will be reincarnated as a human in the next life, and she will be a good family." Zhuang Xun comforted and said that he actually didn't believe in immortals, but in order to comfort people, he just said something like that, which can be regarded as following the customs.
"I hope so."
"The farewell is over, and the relatives are leaving." The voice of the warden was heard, indicating that a bloody killing was about to begin.
"Go back, leave Yindu, Youguo is a tiger and wolf, they can't be satisfied with the land of the West River." Seeing Zhuang Xun turn to leave, Si Qinmi reminded her that she closed her eyes and was killed.
"I'm really ready to leave." Zhuang Xun strode out of the execution ground without looking back.
Only the execution of the prison officer made Zhuang Xun's heart twitch slightly, and he left the execution ground even faster, modern people can't see this kind of bloody scene.
