Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli came to the vicinity of the city early, and this place was surrounded by a group of soldiers, and many people who watched the execution came here, and there was less than half an hour before the execution. Little by little, the sun climbed to the middle of the head, and the hot wind made people's skin dry and chapped. A high platform has been erected in the middle of the city, which is used as a place for execution. Zhu Qingqiu was dressed in prison uniform, covered in blood, with a disheveled head, and a death card behind him, and was escorted by soldiers to the middle of the execution platform and knelt down. But her face was not covered by blood, which made all the onlookers sigh.

"It's a pity for such a good girl. ”

"yes, why can't you think about it. ”

"I actually want to assassinate the prince, what a good person the prince is, and he has taken great care of us for so many years. ”

"That's right, I guess I was bewitched by some kind of chaotic party. ”

In addition to the regret and sigh of Zhu Qingqiu among the people, many people also expressed their incomprehension about this, and many of them praised the corresponding disease.

There was still a moment left before the execution, and the supervisor was Yin Zhuangqiu, the governor of Tanglin Prefecture. Although this Tanglin Mansion is the fief of the Tanglin King, it still sets up the Mansion Yin, and it stands to reason that the Tanglin King shall not interfere in the daily affairs of the Mansion Yin, but the Tanglin King is extraordinary, and this Zhuangqiu is a flatterer, how can he not please Ying Wuji? That Zhuang Xian also dotted up and down, opened up multiple relationships, and spent countless financial resources and manpower to win this position, and he is now making a lot of money, and he has already made up for the deficit in the relationship back then. However, in time, he exploited and oppressed the people, but Tanglin Mansion still did not change its wealth and prosperity, and the people rarely complained. Somehow.

The fat and strong Zhuang Qiu hummed up the few steps, and after coming to the wooden case on the execution platform, he sat on the chair and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat, and there was no one else beside him, except for an accompanying general, who should not be there without illness, and the green fox did not appear, I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

"That Qingqi is not here, what a great opportunity!" Luo Baiyi was overjoyed. The two of them sat on the second floor of the teahouse next to the execution table, and the window was facing the execution table, so that they could take in the situation everywhere at a glance. Seeing this, Luo Baiyi was about to jump downstairs, but Rao Mengli held down his wrist, Rao Mengli approached Luo Baiyi, and said softly: "Brother Luo, don't be reckless, let's wait and see for a while, if the young man has not appeared at the time of the execution, it will be an opportunity for you and me." Luo Baiyi nodded and sat back.

After another moment, the general beside Zhuang Qiu looked up at the sun, then bent down and said to Zhuang Qiu, "My lord, the hour has come." ”

When Zhuang Qiu heard this, he straightened his clothes, opened his small eyes, and the beard on his lips trembled twice, and he went to reach the shocking wood. There was a "snap", and the sound of the wood shook and many people under the execution table turned from noisy to quiet. Zhuang Qiu stood up and said, "There is currently a female prisoner to be beheaded, whose name is Zhu Qingqiu. Colluding with the rivers and lakes to rebellious the party, pretending to be a show girl, bullying the king, infiltrating the palace, and plotting to assassinate the prince of Tanglin are extremely heinous crimes, and the crime is unforgivable! He was sentenced to death to set an example! At the order of the prince, this government beheaded this prisoner at noon today in August of the 12th year of Zhengguang. Now the hour has come, executioner!"

The sturdy executioner, who wore a black scarf and went into battle shirtless, with the ghost-headed knife on his shoulder, strode up to the execution platform.

The executioner came to Zhu Qingqiu's side, took off the death card behind her back, and threw it aside. Zhu Qingqiu slowly lowered his head, revealing his snow-white neck, the executioner brought a bowl of wine, took a sip, took a sip of it, took it in his mouth, sprayed it evenly on the knife body, and gently aimed the blade at Zhu Qingqiu's neck, raised and put it down, waiting for the Zhuangqiu to give an order.

Zhuang Qiu rolled up the sleeves of his robe, picked up a token in his right hand, threw it out casually, and shouted: "Chop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the executioner raised his great sword and was about to cut it down. The blade was cold, blowing hair and breaking hair, and it was about to cut off Zhu Qingqiu's head. At the last moment, a golden feather broke through the wind, and hit the broad sword, and the executioner retreated again and again like a thunderbolt, and fell to the ground, and the knife in his hand also fell aside.

"Bang" twice, two figures, one black and one white, came out of the window of the teahouse, and a few somersaults fell on the execution table, it was Na Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli!

At this moment, the guards around the execution platform swarmed up and surrounded the two. There were many soldiers rushing out of the surrounding roads and alleys, and they were so dense that the water around the small execution platform could not be drained.

Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli stepped forward to untie the rope that tied Zhu Qingqiu's wrist and helped her up, Zhu Qingqiu was still very weak, and vaguely saw the two of them, so he forced a sigh of relief and said, "You... Why are you here......" Rao Mengli said: "Sister Zhu, you have helped us so many times, how can we watch you give your life?" Luo Baiyi also said: "Sister Zhu, we will save you out!"

Zhuang Qiu's eyes widened in shock, and he retreated again and again, and almost fell down while sitting on the chair, and the generals beside him hurriedly supported him. "My lord!" "What kind of people, why don't you catch them quickly and run away, this mansion, this mansion wants your heads to fall to the ground!" Zhuang Qiu roared, pointing at Zhu Qingqiu's hand and trembling a little.

When the general got the order, he pulled out his sword and pointed at Zhu Qingqiu and the three of them, saying: "Dare to disrupt the party, you dare to come and rob the law field! None of you can escape today! Give it to me!" As soon as the general gave the order, the soldiers who surrounded him raised their guns in front and pressed forward step by step.

Luo Baiyi asked Rao Mengli to hold Zhu Qingqiu, and he took a step and said, "Xiaoli, protect Sister Zhu, leave these miscellaneous pieces to me!" Rao Mengli nodded, and Luo Baiyi stopped in front of the two of them.

Those soldiers rushed up, stabbed with guns, Luo Baiyi turned sideways, supported on the ground with one palm, with the palm as the axis, the body rotated, and kicked the spear away one by one with several kicks, those soldiers stabbed again, Luo Baiyi turned over, dodged the tip of the gun, clamped the gun with his arm, twisted his body, and shouted: "Break!" The guns were broken, and the soldiers lost their strength in their hands, so they grabbed the broken gun and fell backwards. Luo Baiyi pointed those spears around, and the soldiers in that circle were shot in the abdomen, spitting blood from their mouths, and fell to the ground in anger.

Another group of soldiers surrounded Rao Mengli, wanting to grab Zhu Qingqiu, Rao Mengli raised his left hand, and threw out a piece of gold feather from the sleeve of the black gauze robe, shooting the soldier in the throat, just repelling a group of people and rushing up a group of people, Rao Mengli had to desperately protect Zhu Qingqiu. "You guys go quickly, don't worry about me anymore......" Zhu Qingqiu said softly. Rao Mengli didn't answer, but frowned slightly, and the golden feather in his hand shone in the sun.

Luo Baiyi saw that the two of them were in trouble, so he turned over and blocked in front of them, his arms were outstretched, his ten fingers were slightly bent, gathered into claws, his claws converged in front of his chest, and his palms were raised upwards, and he suddenly turned down. The internal force suddenly rose, spread all over the body, poured into the claws, and for a time the afterimage was repeated, and the wind surged. The claw split the clouds, and tore the sky, the body was oblique, the right claw was struck, and then turned over and landed, the lunge was staggered, and the left claw was shot, and the sand was all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, the wind and clouds were rising, and the strength was churning, and the claw was like a cloud of smoke, but it demanded people's lives, and hit the soldiers in that circle.

Luo Baiyi repeatedly clawed, and the soldiers around him were like lightning strikes, their bodies flew out a foot away, and the armor on their bodies exploded, leaving three paw prints on their bodies, shouting and declining, fainting, dying, and there was a sudden mourning on the execution table.

Na Luo Baiyi lifted his robe and stood in the middle of the execution platform, at this time, the remaining soldiers looked at each other, cowered, their legs trembled, they could barely hold their guns, and they no longer dared to come forward to arrest Luo Baiyi.

The general's hand holding the sword also trembled a little, swallowing his saliva, and kept shouting: "Go on, you all go up!" But no matter how angry he scolded and insulted, punched and kicked, those soldiers did not dare to move forward.

Zhuang Qiu is a typical light and soft and afraid of hardness, he is full of fish and flesh on weekdays, when does someone dare to threaten him? Now that someone dares to rob the Dharma field in front of him, how can he not panic, he keeps shrinking back, but his mouth is reprimanding the general: "You group of waste! I raise you for nothing on weekdays, but when I want to use you, I am afraid to shrink, this mansion, this mansion must punish you heavily!"

Luo Baiyi chuckled when he heard this, and said to the general: "Since they don't dare to go up, then I'll play with you!" And Luo Baiyi just took half a step back, flew up again, kicked the general in the lower abdomen, kicked the general out, fell beside Zhuang Qiu, and fainted. The Zhuang Qiu was so shocked that he flipped over his chair and fell to the ground, his face full of flesh and flesh, but he couldn't hide his horror.

Luo Baiyi turned around and landed, patted the dust on his body, and looked back at Rao Mengli and Zhu Qingqiu.

"Without further ado, let's leave quickly!" Rao Mengli said, Luo Baiyi jumped next to the two of them, and was about to help Zhu Qingqiu leave the execution table together. The three of them took off into the air, and were about to jump out of the execution platform, when suddenly a person flew in the distance, wearing the bronze mask!

Qing Xuanqi pushed out his palms, knocked the three of them to the ground, and turned around with another somersault.

Zhu Qingqiu was already too injured, but now he was affected by the palm wind, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, Rao Mengli asked worriedly: "Sister Zhu, are you okay?" Zhu Qingqiu said: "You guys go quickly... Hugh wants to take care of me again... You're no match for the young man......"

Luo Baiyi turned over and got up, stared at the green fox who was standing with his hands in his hands, without saying a word, his hands gathered into claws again, and pounced on him violently, seeing that he was about to slap at the green fox with one claw, but the green fox did not dodge, the two arms were raised, the palms of Luo Baiyi were swept away from the two claws, and then jumped up in the air, kicked Luo Baiyi away, and hung upside down in the air with one kick, and the two palms were slapped out one after another, only three palms were slapped on Luo Baiyi's chest, which made him unstable under his feet, spit blood in his mouth, and leaned back.

Rao Mengli hurriedly put down Zhu Qingqiu gently, let her sit for a while, and hurried to support Luo Baiyi, Luo Baiyi was slapped several times, his chest ached, his brain was groggy but forced to wake up by the pain, Rao Mengli held him up, and shouted again and again: "Brother Luo!

Luo Baiyi just opened his mouth empty, unable to make a sound, and stared at the green man with angry eyes covering his chest. But Qing Xuanqi didn't put him in his eyes, and said disdainfully: "It turns out that the famous cloud leopard in the rivers and lakes is so vulnerable. Come on, arrest them. As soon as Qing Xianyi gave an order, those officers and soldiers took the three of them into custody, Zhu Qingqiu and Luo Baiyi had no strength to resist, and Rao Mengli's martial arts were not proficient, and he was defeated last night after only one palm with Qing Xuanyi, so he was naturally not his opponent, and there was really no need to die in vain. Pity these three people were chained by ropes and iron chains, and they were respectively imprisoned in the prison of the Tanglin Mansion.

Zhuang Qiu, who was originally going to crawl and escape, stood up when he saw this, patted the dust on his body, and saw Qing Xuanyi, the previous face full of horror disappeared, and he had already changed to a flattering expression, although he was the Yin of Dongling Mansion, and Qing Xuanqi had no title and no position, but after all, he was a person around the prince, and Zhuang Qiu of course had to stammer.

"Thank you, Lord Qingyiyi, thank you for helping Xia Guan to wipe out these chaotic parties and save the prisoners, Xia Guan is really grateful. "Although the same thing should be done without illness, but Yaoye Mansion Yin He Buping is a more important part of the plan, and he has both ability and thinking, and this Zhuangqiu is just a peripheral person, he has always wanted to meddle in some benefits, to put it bluntly, he is just a weak and incompetent, greedy for life and afraid of death, a flattering flattering villain, his vision is only limited to the interests he sees. Of course, Qing Xianqi will not take him seriously.

"Lord Zhuang. Qing Qian looked at Zhuang Qiu, who seemed to be humble, and said, "Do you know that you almost let the death row prisoner who assassinated the prince be robbed, do you know what crime you should be guilty of......?"

Qing Xuanyi snorted coldly and said, "Lord Zhuang, I have no title or position, but I am just a reckless person." Lord Zhuang is the governor of this Tanglin Mansion, and when he is a member of the four grades of the dynasty, why should he be so humble to me. ”

"It should be, it should be!" Zhuang Qiu was overjoyed when he saw that Qing Qiyi's tone had taken a turn for the better, and he put his hands together and kowtowed and said, "Lord Qing Qiqi is the most trusted person of the prince, and he is the right hand of the prince, and the lower officials are extremely respectful, so he should be humble, he should be humble!"

Qing Xuanqi said: "Get up, Lord Zhuang, let you take it and see what kind of system it has become? When Zhuang Qiu heard this, he stood up, and Qing Qiu said again, "The prince didn't intend to blame you at all, otherwise, do you think you still have the life to stand here and talk to me?"

Zhuang Qiu was so frightened that he touched the cold back of his neck, breathed a long sigh of relief, and asked cautiously, "I don't know what the prince commands?"

"These chaotic parties have not been wiped out, and the prince's plan must not be disrupted. Now our bait is locked up in your Tanglin Mansion prison, and if anyone is escaped, you know what will happen to you. Qing Xuanqi said very plainly, but Nazhuang Qiu was already frightened into a cold sweat, and nodded again and again: "The lower officials will definitely send heavy troops to guard it, and the prisoners will definitely not be allowed to take advantage of it." ”

"During the implementation of the plan, just in case, I will stay in the palace to help you guard it. I am not under your jurisdiction to transfer, and the government officials, including Lord Zhuang, must also mishear me, that is, the arrangement of the prince. "I'll go back to the palace to report to the prince first, and I'll go to the palace to find you later." ”

Zhuang Qiu bowed again and again and said, "That's natural, Xiaguan is waiting for Lord Qingxiyi." ”

As soon as the words fell, the green fox was gone. That Zhuang Qiu raised his head, saw the green and scolded, and scolded softly: "The villain has a will." ”

The green fox returned to the Tanglin palace in a blink of an eye, and the figure flashed to the inner hall, and Ying Wujian was kneeling behind the incense case and writing something, and when he saw the green fox returning, he asked: "Is the fish hooked?"

"Lord Wang, the fish has been hooked, but it is not the fish we expected. only caught Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli of the Ten Ghost Hall. "It may be that in order to keep it secret, the news was locked too tightly, and no one outside the city seems to know, so Dao Xueke has not moved, and has been staying at the Qiyun Inn outside the city." ”

"Then what's the matter, since that's the case, let's catch another fish, use this cloud leopard and nine shades of goldfinch as bait, and catch the big fish of the knife snowman. Ying Wujian put down the pen and sat upright and said.

Qing Xuanqi was worried again: "But if we set a trap and catch Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an, then if the news leaks out, then Yiye Jianmen and the Ten Ghost Hall will definitely be relieved and come to the palace to beg for people together, at that time, what should we do?"

Ying Wujian smiled slightly: "What you said is not unreasonable, in that case, why not take this opportunity to cooperate with You Jinwen to play a scene, let the two families kill each other, one can break the thought of the sword snowman, let him unlock the secret of the Jade Buddha for this king, and the two families will kill each other, it will definitely be a big loss of vitality, and then we can accept it together, which can be regarded as satisfying You Jinwen's wish." After that, he handed over the letter he had written earlier to Qing Xuanyi, "You quickly hand over this letter to You Jinwen and tell him to adapt to the situation." After sending people to spread the news outside the city, it was said that Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli wanted to rob the law field to rescue the death row prisoner Zhu Qingqiu, and they were about to ask and behead together in the near future, and at the same time, they would go to the Tanglin Mansion outside the city to mobilize a thousand soldiers and horses stationed outside the city to enter the city, and they must pass by the Qiyun Inn and let Dao Xueke know about it. ”

Qing Xuanyi clenched his fists and said: "The prince is like a god, he has already made arrangements, and the prince is wise!" After saying that, he took the order and left.

Qing Xuanqi sent the first letter to Yiye Jianmen, and quickly sent the handwritten dispatch of troops and tiger talismans to the military camp outside the city, and mobilized a thousand soldiers and horses to guard the Donglin Mansion. It turned out that the emperor for the sake of the protection of the state capitals, and to avoid the government to support the army and self-respect, in each government allocated not many officers and soldiers to protect the city, but outside the city to assign generals to lead troops to garrison, the generals were personally assigned by the emperor, one can protect the safety of the city, and the other can supervise the government office, the two sides can not transfer each other, any orders are arranged by the saint. Of course, how dare they keep the announcement of the Tanglin King.
