Chapter 378: Beheading
There have always been many rules for the punishment beheading, but this time the punishment obviously did not follow those rules, and its purpose was just that the Shen family used the name of the government to express their position and apology to the Four Seas Alliance. And in order to show sincerity, this time even Shen Changfeng, the county guard of Langya County, who had not appeared in front of people for a long time, also came forward in person and sat in the position of the supervisor.
This is also the first time Mo Jun has seen Shen Changfeng, I have to say, this is a middle-aged man with a very temperament, his slender figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, broad face and heavy face, just sitting there, there is a sense of not being angry and arrogant, and on the other hand, Shen Yuqing, who is standing next to him, except for looking more majestic and powerful, can not find any place that can compare with his father.
In front of him, a woman in a very ill-fitting and wide prison uniform was tied behind her waist with her hands tied behind her waist, her head drooping and her long golden-brown hair hanging down, covering her face, so that people could not see what kind of expression this woman was at this time.
Under the torture platform, there are also specially set up seats, headed by Yuan Chu and the sect masters and elders of the various large and small sects of the Four Seas Alliance, all sitting on the seats, talking to each other and talking endlessly.
Shen Zhenrong originally wanted to send Mo Jun to the table, but the latter naturally refused without hesitation, he didn't want to make these unnecessary limelights at this time, so as not to cause some trouble, and the reason for refusing was naturally Fang Cai's set of rhetoric, he didn't want to see the beauty into such a bleak situation.
Shen Zhenrong sent someone to tell Shen Yuqing on the torture platform that someone from Xunmen had come, and when he heard Mo Jun's words, he couldn't help but sneer, and his disdain was even worse, but even so, he still did not leave, but continued to stay by Mo Jun's side in the name of accompanying him, and blatantly monitored him.
Mo Jun also laughed at this, he looked up at the sun, there was less than an hour left before the noon execution, and there were more and more people and people who came to watch the excitement around the torture platform. Among these onlookers, many people have seen the appearance of "flowers and thousands of trees" in the Great Autumn Party, and some people have just heard about it, and they have come to see the beauty, this time they saw the woman on the stage hanging like a lost dog, and they couldn't help but be disappointed, and they all rushed to verify the body, and it can't be said that the one with blonde hair is the assassin of the rain bell, right?
Shen Yuqing on the torture platform seemed to have expected this situation for a long time, he first bowed slightly to Shen Changfeng beside him, and then walked to the woman kneeling on the platform, cleared his throat, and loudly listed the crimes of the assassin of Yulinling, insulting the honor of Xiaoyao Hall, colluding with Qingfeng Pavilion to plot against the Four Seas Alliance and people from all walks of life in the Cliff Peak, attacking Yunxian Pavilion, attacking Xunmen, assassinating court officials, and so on......
Then, Shen Yuqing grabbed the woman's hair and pulled the other party up, revealing her face, and then showed it to everyone in the audience, and reprimanded bitterly: "This! is the person who Yulinling!"
The woman's face was pale, with a little dust on her face, but she could hardly hide her beauty, her blue eyes were hollow and indifferent to the people below, her exposed white skin was covered with blood, and she was almost lifeless, as if she had long given up her resistance and dignity to everything, and was still humiliated by others.
Mo Jun looked at the woman, and suddenly felt a hint of strangeness, and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes narrowed involuntarily.
"Tsk, that's a pity. A man dressed as a man in a long shirt and a sword beside him suddenly sighed, as soon as these words came out, he attracted countless eyes around him, and the man with the sword on his back hurriedly showed off his knowledge, "You don't know, if such a beauty from the Western Regions is placed on the market, it will at least be worth this amount!
The man with the sword spread out his five fingers and shook them in front of everyone, sighing.
Before everyone could say anything, a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously dressed with a mustache crossed his arms and snorted disdainfully: "What do you know, that was the price of Emperor Wu's period, if it is placed now, it will at least quadruple! I was in ...... last time" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and when he was about to show off, he suddenly realized that these words could not be put on the table, and immediately closed his mouth.
"Yo, Boss Jia, have you ever bought a slave?" someone immediately came to the spirit, looking envious.
"How can this be!" The man known as Boss Jia took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, he smiled, and hurriedly denied, "We are businessmen who abide by the rules, how can we do these dirty things that are expressly forbidden, this is all heard from a friend......!
Boss Jia gestured with his hands in a circle, and with a wicked smile, everything seemed to be silent.
Everyone understood, some people gave the same knowing smile, some people showed salivating fascination, some people angrily reprimanded Boss Najia, and many girls were reserved and devoid of demeanor, and scolded loudly...... There was a commotion in the crowd for a while.
Mo Jun's heart suddenly burst into flames, and the anger between his eyebrows and eyes was unobstructed, for this kind of thing, he had only heard of it, and he had not seen it in person, after all, since the collapse of Emperor Wu, his successor Wei Shengzhao had explicitly forbidden the sale of slaves in the Western Regions, and once it was discovered, he would be severely punished, and even sentenced to death. But this kind of profiteering behavior is difficult to cure after all, and even the feet of the Son of Heaven in Tai'an City have many places that are difficult to reach, let alone the entire Great Zhou.
And what Mo Jun hates is the word "slave".
A chill suddenly dissipated, and Shen Zhenrong, who was standing beside Mo Jun, couldn't help but shudder, and he saw the undisguised cold anger exuded from Mo Jun's body with a slight sideways look, which frightened him and immediately had a new understanding of the strength of this young man named "Tan Hu".
Shen Zhenrong observed his words and looks, thinking that Mo Jun's mistake of "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade" was committed, so he hurriedly waved his hand to signal the soldiers who were maintaining law and order on the side to come over, and ordered everyone watching the excitement to shut up.
Everyone was silent and didn't dare to say more.
Shen Zhenrong smiled flatteringly: "Brother Tan, don't be like those people in the market. ”
And Mo Jun was angry, and he had other thoughts in his heart, he turned to Shen Zhenrong and asked, "Brother Shen, why are there people from the Western Regions among the assassins of Yulinling?"
"This ......" Shen Zhenrong was speechless, he really didn't know this.
Mo Jun couldn't help frowning when he saw this: "You have tortured that woman, but you can't even figure it out?"
Shen Zhenrong smiled bitterly and said, "Tan, Brother Tan, how did this woman come here, and it has nothing to do with today's incident?"
Mo Jun sighed, and said helplessly: "Brother Shen, if you want to completely erase Yulinling from the rivers and lakes, you must at least find out their details first, right? Yulinling is secretive and difficult to find, but there is a clue here, since you hold it, why can't you grasp it well?"
Shen Zhenrong smiled, but he was speechless.
Mo Jun turned his attention away and refocused on the woman in the torture table, and at the same time became even more suspicious of the Shen family in his heart.
The sun is shining, and noon has arrived.
"Execution!"
At the sound of an order, the executioner on the torture table pressed the woman to the guillotine, and at the same time took out a black cloth to cover the woman's head.
As if she realized something, the woman's already dull eyes suddenly widened, and two lines of tears fell, and then she slowly closed her eyes.
Mo Jun frowned in the audience, he stared at the woman's face for a long time, a familiar feeling came to his face, and he hurriedly secretly released his breath and stepped forward to investigate.
The black cloth covered the woman's face, and she knelt on the guillotine, never resisting, as if she had accepted her fate calmly, but the tears that fell at that moment seemed to tell her unwillingness.
Mo Jun's eyes widened suddenly, and for a moment, he clearly felt the source of that sense of familiarity, which was a spell he had also been cast, a mysterious spell called the Transfiguration Technique that only people in the Yulin Bell could learn!
The tortured person was not Yu Linling's assassins! No wonder, no wonder they ended up covering the woman's face!
Mo Jun was immediately furious, but he understood that this kind of anger must not be noticed by others at this time.
The broadsword fell, blood splattered, and no one could stop what was happening on the torture table.
And as if it were a prophecy, this is indeed an extremely cruel thing.
Under the torture platform, Yuan Chu, who had long been accustomed to seeing bloody rain, took the lead in getting up and gestured to Shen Changfeng on the stage, as if announcing that the contradiction between Yunxian Pavilion and the Shen family had been resolved, and the previous suspicions had been released;
With Yuan Chu taking the lead, the Four Seas Alliance sects didn't want to say anything more, they were originally angry that Yuan Chu handed over the assassin to Shen Yuqing, but this time the Shen family beheaded the assassin on the street, and the sincerity was already enough, so they naturally would not complain about the Shen family anymore, but they had inexplicably suffered such a disaster and suffered heavy losses in Yunxian Pavilion, and this resentment would not be resolved so easily. Now that the culprit Qingfeng Pavilion has been eliminated, and the assassin of Yulin Ling has been killed, the next point of the spearhead is Yuan Chu, the deputy pavilion master of Yunxian Pavilion who is not well supervised, and this account will be calculated until the Great Autumn Meeting.
Everyone greeted Shen Changfeng, and then brushed their sleeves away.
Looking at the lively crowd, laughing, sighing, or speechless, it gradually dispersed.
"It's over. ”
Shen Zhenrong clapped his hands as if he was relieved, and then he looked at Mo Jun with a smile on his face, "Brother Tan, the sincerity of my Shen family this time can be described as obvious, and then I return to Xunmen, I hope that Brother Tan can truthfully tell Brother Xun and say a few good words for us! ”
"It's nature. ”
Mo Jun forcibly suppressed his anger, and he also smiled back on his face, but this smile was extremely cold, and under this smile, there was also an incomparably chilling killing intent.
"I will, will, tell you the truth!"
