A group of people rushed to the entrance of the vegetable market in the west of the city, but saw that the three layers inside and the outer three floors were full of people who watched the excitement, thousands of people came to watch, there were all kinds of people from all walks of life in the crowd, there were people from all over the world, there were thieves and beggars, there were rich businessmen and giants, there were commoners, there were princes and grandsons, there were men and women, there were old and young, some were purely to see the excitement, and some were really sad in their hearts, and saw off the third prince of Zhu, some looked indifferent, some looked indignant, in short, the quality was complicated, and so on.

Li Xiangru and Elder Qi and others were separated from the execution platform dozens of zhang away, looking at it at a glance, but seeing the crowd of people, they could not see the scene of the execution platform at all, only listened to the sound of the people, and the officers and soldiers guarded the fortresses in all directions tightly, in case someone robbed the prisoners, just in case, Ao Bai also specially ambushed two hundred archers in the high place of the pavilion on the four sides, if anyone wanted to rob the law field, he ordered to shoot arrows on the spot.

At this time, Li Shiyuan and Wu Qingluan had been escorted to the execution platform, the prison officer Ao Bai sat in the middle of the stage, and Du Tianzhang, the secretary of the criminal department, was standing in front of the stage to read the holy decree of the Qing court.

The Han people present knew that the person on the stage was the third prince of Zhu, who was about to be executed, and some people couldn't help but shed tears, and some couldn't hold back and cried. I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Drive out the Manchurians, return my Han rivers and mountains!" This roar became the fuse, the crowd surged all of a sudden, and in an instant countless people shouted: "Let go of the third prince of Zhu", "return my Han people's rivers and mountains", "Worship this big villain", in fact, although the Qing Dynasty had Kangxi, the essence was that Ao Bai controlled the power of the court, he and his relatives occupied the land in the outer enclosure, forcibly occupied and robbed, bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil, and the Han people in the capital mentioned him all hated him to the bone, and scolded him bitterly. Now that someone has lit this fire, the grievances and anger suppressed in his heart were instantly detonated, and for a while the scolding was like a tide, the crowd was angry, and the crowd rushed to the execution table like a tide.

Ao Bai originally wanted to use the beheading of the third prince of Zhu to establish his authority and suppress and intimidate the people of the world, but it backfired and aroused the anger of the people, which he did not expect. Seeing thousands of people roaring and scolding rushing over, the Qing soldiers surrounding the platform couldn't hold back at all, and retreated step by step, even if he had experienced a hundred battles in his life and had seen countless chaotic scenes, he couldn't help but panic for a while in the face of this situation.

Wu Tianzhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a Han court official, and he is also quite disdainful of the practice of worshipping Pingsu, he was a person in the former Ming Dynasty, and he still has a heart of gratitude for the former Ming court, and he is also quite sympathetic to Li Shiyuan and his wife. But Ao Bai insisted on going his own way, even if Emperor Kangxi did not pay attention to him, you must know that Ao Bai is powerful, once he disobeys his will or sings against him, he will either be beheaded or sent into exile, and even if the minister Su Ke Saha offends him, he can't escape from killing his head and copying his family, he is a Han criminal department book, how dare he say more?

Wu Tianzhang saw that the crowd had gradually flocked to the side of the stage, and he wanted to make a bigger fuss in his heart, so that people could take advantage of the chaos to rob Li Shiyuan and his wife. Seeing that Ao Bai's face was angry, he asked: "Lord Shaobao, what should the people do if they make such a fuss?" Ao Bai calmed down and shouted: "Kill all the troublemakers for me!" Wu Tianzhang made a dilemma on his face: "Lord Shaobao, the so-called public anger is difficult to criminal, so many people present, who should be killed, is it possible to kill them all?" said and pointed to the crowd of black pressure in the audience.

Ao Bai stood up and shouted to the executioner on the stage: "The hour has come, behead these two traitors for me." At this time, Li Shiyuan inserted a beheading card in his neck, and was forced to kneel down by two Qing guards, Wu Qingluan was on his side, and set up a hanging rack, one end of the hanging frame was tied with sandbags, and the other end was knotted into a rope loop, which was put on her neck, as long as the executioner pulled the live buckle at the middle end of the rope, and the sandbag at one end fell, she would immediately be hung up by the rope and strangled.

As soon as Aobai's words fell, only a few screams were heard, and several cold lights flashed in mid-air, and the executioner on the stage was shot by several darts, his throat suddenly burst out of blood, and he fell to the sky on the stage. Immediately after that, more than a dozen masked people leapt from the crowd and shouted loudly, jumped up to the stage, holding bright swords in their hands, shining in the noon sun.

Ao Bai's thought flashed, and he immediately shouted: "Someone has robbed the Dharma field, stop me!" At this time, the guards and soldiers standing on both sides rushed up and fought fiercely with more than ten masked people. The dozen or so masked people were not weak in martial arts, a few of them stopped the guards and Qing soldiers to fight, and the rest rushed forward to rescue Li Shiyuan and Wu Qingluan. Li Shiyuan and Wu Qingluan were surprised when they saw someone come to the rescue, but they didn't know these black-clothed people, but they thought about it: "These people may be former ministers of the former Ming Dynasty, or they may be heroes loyal to the Ming family." Thinking that he has not been forgotten by the world, I can't help but feel seven or eight points of emotion and relief in my heart.

The Qing court guards saw that those masked people shot like the wind, killing and injuring more than ten people in a short time, and were approaching the felons step by step, seeing a tall and thin masked man running towards Li Shiyuan, a sturdy guard shouted, jumped forward, the knife in his hand quickly slashed at the back of the tall and thin masked man, the tall and thin masked man heard the sound of the golden blade behind his head, and did not even look back, the long sword in his hand was backhanded, and a move "Su Qin's back sword" blocked the knife in the guard's hand, and did not pause at his feet, swung his sword and stabbed over the two Qing soldiers, and strode towards Li Shiyuan. Where is the guard willing to give up, shouted again, jumped up, volleyed in the air, and slashed down the masked man with all his strength with the knife in his hand, the tall and thin masked man knew that this move was very powerful, and immediately turned around, his body was short, and raised his sword to meet him. The guard was in the air, and the knife in his hand slashed out three times in a series of lightning speeds, each of which wanted to kill the enemy, and the tall and thin masked man shouted in a low voice: "What a chain of three knives chasing the wind!" The long sword covered the left and right, only to hear the three sharp sounds of Dangdang, and the guard's killing was all dissolved by him.

The masked man defused the opponent's attack, and before the guard landed on the ground, the long sword slashed out horizontally, and slashed directly into the guard's lower abdomen. His move is a way to lose both sides and end up together, and it is really a last resort to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, of course he didn't want to be defeated and afraid of injury, the masked man immediately withdrew his sword, blocked it diagonally, and opened the guard's knife, and at the same time flew up his right leg, and kicked the guard in the waist, this kick was not heavy, and the guard was kicked out of the zhangyu, and fell heavily on the platform, unable to get up for a long time.
