Chapter 18: The Robbery of the Dharma

Luling Mansion, which is a place quite famous in the second Song and Ming dynasties. During the Song and Ming dynasties, the number of people in this place was very large, and it was called "a door and nine jinshi, father and son to explore the flowers, uncles and nephews to explore the flowers, two prime ministers across the river, five miles and three champions, nine sons and ten governors, ten miles and nine politics, one hundred steps and two books", but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, this place is no longer famous.

Especially the war in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this is also a battlefield, and after a few battles, it fell.

Now there are not many people in Luling Mansion.

And the crossroads of Luling Mansion are the places where prisoners are usually beheaded.

Today, it is surrounded by soldiers, and the people are not allowed to come closer.

A little outside, a large crowd of people came to see the excitement.

"I heard that no, there are going to be criminals here. ”

"What kind of prisoner are you going to behead this time?" someone asked curiously.

"I heard that it is General Li Xiucheng of the Taiping Army, and the concubine of the Young Heavenly King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. A well-informed person said.

"What is the concubine of the Young Heavenly King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, we don't know. However, General Li Xiucheng of the Taiping Army is a good person. "No sooner had one of the people spoken than someone covered his mouth.

"Li Er, you're crazy. I dare to say this. The Taiping Army is a chaotic party, a chaotic party!"

The person whose mouth was covered also reacted: "Yes, yes, the Taiping Army is a chaotic party." ”

If someone tells you about this, maybe the Qing court will kill you.

In the past few hundred years, hasn't the Qing court been like this, using extremely bloody methods of slaughter to rule this land that does not belong to them.

"I've heard that it's not just about beheading. It's Ling Chi!" said a gray-bearded man.

And now, it exploded directly.

Ling Chi!

This is a terrible punishment!

The last person to be punished by Ling Chi was Shi Dakai, the winged king who had considerable prestige among the people.

That's more than 3,000 dollars.

Cut it off one by one.

How much it hurts!

However, Wing King Shi Dakai is really a man, and he was brutally stabbed more than 3,000 times, and he didn't even frown.

Many people heard that General Li Xiucheng was going to be punished, and Ling Chi was also punished, and they had scolded the Qing court countless times in their hearts. Of course, they only scolded in their hearts, and they definitely didn't dare to put it into their mouths, otherwise they would be the next person to be killed.

"Alas!" Many people let out a long sigh, General Li Xiucheng is really a good man!

......

General Li Xiucheng, who is known as a good man by everyone, is not very old now, only in his thirties. Although he has a show character in his name, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is quite imposing.

Li Xiucheng smiled coldly, Ling Chi's punishment, did he want to scare himself?

And beside Li Xiucheng, it was Shang Yanyan, the queen of Xia, who was escorted and knelt in the place.

Shang Yanyan is quite tall, about one meter seven, and there are some mixed-race appearances, she looks extremely beautiful, her whole body is wheat-colored skin, full of elastic feeling, and her whole body is full of wild beauty.

If it was usual, a beauty like her fell into the hands of the Qing army, and she was afraid that she would be tortured to death by those people in the Qing army.

However, this time it was Zeng Guofan who gave the order, otherwise she would be moved, so that she could catch the big fish of the young king. So, she hadn't suffered much before. But her face was already quite ugly, Ling Chi! This is Ling Chi!

From ancient times to the present, it seems that no woman has ever been used Ling Chi.

She will be the first!

Li Xiucheng looked at Shang Yanyan's anxious appearance and wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't comfort her. After all, he is not afraid of Ling Chi as a big man, but it is too normal for a woman to be afraid.

"I don't know how the Young Heavenly King is doing now. Li Xiucheng sighed, he has always been loyal. Now that the Taiping Army has become like this, the Young Heavenly King must not die, otherwise the Taiping Army will collapse directly.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and at noon, it was time for the execution to begin.

......

Zeng Guoquan sat on the high place of the Dharma field.

He was the presiding officer of this execution.

Originally, with his status, he naturally did not use himself as this executioner.

However, he knew that this time it was a ploy to lure the snake out of the hole.

I don't know if the young king of the Taiping army will come.

A must come!

As long as you catch the young king, you can rest assured.

If you don't catch it, your heart will be uneasy.

However, for a long time, he never could wait for the young king he was waiting for.

What about the young kings?

The sun rises higher and higher.

Zeng Guoquan's heart is getting colder and colder.

It seems that the two big names of Li Xiucheng and Shang Yanyan can't attract the young king. There is no greater hand than these two.

Seeing that the sun had come to noon, but the Young Heavenly King had not yet appeared, Zeng Guoquan couldn't help but be irritable for a while: "Start the execution." ”

"Haole!" The executioner of the execution was the one who executed Shi Dakai back then. Ordinary executioners can only cut their necks in two, and there are not many executioners who can carry out the punishment of Ling Chi.

To carry out this punishment, you can't let people die too early, and if you want people to die slowly, you have to cut at least a thousand knives, which requires experience.

And Li plays Li's executioner, who is the master of this way: "However, my lord, the execution of this man first, or the execution of this woman." ”

"Let's execute the men first. Zeng Guoquan snorted coldly and said, Li Xiucheng is the second famous general in the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he has beaten the Hunan army to a very miserable point several times, and he has a personal grudge with Li Xiucheng: "Li Xiucheng, this is the fate of you who dare to resist our Manchu Qing." ”

Li Xiucheng laughed: "Zeng Guoquan, Zeng Guoquan, you are a dog full of people, and you should have a sense of superiority." But a dog is always a dog. When the person who can't be. ”

Zeng Guoquan was even more annoyed: "Li Xiucheng, I will make your death more painful." ”

"Come on, come on, Lao Tzu snorted in pain, Lao Tzu is not a man. Li Xiucheng shouted arrogantly.

"Begin, execute!"

The executioner named Li Play found a special knife for Ling Chi's punishment, this knife is obviously different from the knife used to cut off people's heads, this knife should be small, thin, and sharp. With a gloomy smile, he walked towards Li Xiucheng.

At this time.

"Wait!" a loud shout rang out suddenly.

It's too loud.

So that everyone's hearts and minds can't help but be attracted to the past.

I saw that at some point, not far away, there was a merchant carrying a shelf on his back, took off the hat on his head, and tore it on his face for a while, revealing a pale face and sharp eyes.

This is!

Young Heavenly King Hong Tian Guifu!

In Zeng Guoquan's mind, only ecstasy appeared, great, great, the young king of the Taiping Army finally appeared. Now that he's here, don't think about leaving this place alive.

And Li Xiucheng couldn't help but be stunned, he would rather die by himself than escape with the Young Heavenly King. was going to be punished by Ling Chi, but he didn't feel anything, anyway, the Young Heavenly King escaped.

But now, the Young Heavenly King has actually appeared, isn't he here to send him to death? He is in prison, and he still does not know the news that the Young Heavenly King is invincible and has defeated several thousand troops in one fell swoop.
