Chapter Twenty-Five: The Hero Goes to the Execution Ground
That afternoon, while the two of them were counting the time they had been in the cell, a jailer came in with a table of sumptuous wine and food, put it on the ground, and said with a smile: "Congratulations! Congratulations! The day of the two great joys has arrived!"
The two knew they were going to be executed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Iron Bow Mountain asked, "When?"
The jailer said: "Tomorrow, the best thousand knife noodles will be personally slashed by the 'Four Little Buddhas' in the north of the city." ”
A thousand knife noodles is a black word in prison, that is, Ling Chi, the punishment of a thousand cuts. The jailer thought that Tie Gongshan and Duan Hongyu would lose their souls like others when they heard this, but they didn't expect that these two people would just eat the good wine and meat like no one else.
The jailer was bored, and when the two of them had finished eating, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and left them behind. The two were ready to die, and when the result was at this time, they were relieved and fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, while the two were still in a dream, countless soldiers swarmed in, removed their handcuffs and leg shackles, and escorted them out of prison. It's a really good day, the sky is blue and cloudless. The two of them hadn't seen the sun for several days, and they were in a good mood. Outside, there were no less than a thousand sergeants in charge of escorting. The four executioners, the famous four little Buddhas, raised their eyebrows, and the sharp knives in their hands were bright and shiny, and it seemed that they had been grinding for a long time last night. The three masters of the capital, Xia Qianxun, Lin Fengting, and Du Zhong, are all here. These sergeants were different from the jailers in the prison, many of them were subordinates of Iron Bow Mountain, and no one knew that he had been wronged, and they were a little unbearable to see him fall to this step. Lin Fengting and Du Zhong also felt very sad.
Iron Bow Mountain looked up to the sky, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter.
Xia Qianxun shouted: "Bold Iron Bow Mountain, when death is on the verge of death, what are you crazy about?"
Tie Gongshan smiled: "How can I be unhappy to be able to catch up with such a good day when I die?"
Duan Hongyu also said: "Lord Tie, God saw that we died unjustly, so he gave us such good weather, just to prove our innocence to the world." ”
Tie Gongshan said: "Yes! Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil." Xia Qianxun, you will not escape death in the end, but you will definitely not be able to afford such good weather. ”
Xia Qianxun was so angry that his eyes widened, and he scolded: "The two death row prisoners who were stabbed with a thousand knives are not honest when they die, so they gag me with their mouths." ”
Immediately, numerous sergeants burst up, picked up clods of earth and bark from the ground, and stuffed them into their mouths.
Tiegong Mountain was framed by Xia Qianxun, and now the enemy is in front of him, how to be willing to give up, depending on how hard the soldiers work, they just scolded endlessly.
Xia Qianxun's face was blue and purple for a while, which was extremely unnatural.
The group of people and horses walked slowly to the West Market, the execution ground, and the way was crowded with people watching the excitement. They didn't know what they were doing at all, they only regarded them as spies of thieves, and they kept scolding, throwing clods of dirt and rotten eggs into the prisoner's cart, and even breaking through the sergeant's barrier to tear the flesh and skin of the two, and it seemed that they hated them to the extreme. Behind the prison cart, there were people carrying small baskets to follow closely, they wanted to buy the meat of the two people back to the medicine, only a few people who knew the truth kept shaking their heads, feeling sorry for the murder of the two.
Duan Hongyu and Tie Gongshan all bowed their heads and sighed when they saw the people's gritted teeth and hatred for them.
Tie Gongshan suddenly said: "Duan Gongzi, do you know that Inspector Yuan was killed by traitorous ministers back then, and after being tortured like this, he also walked the same path as us. ”
Duan Hongyu knew that Tiegongshan was talking about Yuan Chonghuan, the Liaodong Economic Strategy back then, and said: "Inspector Yuan has been loyal and righteous all his life, and he has no shame for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and he is more ashamed than Li Ling and Yue Fei, but he was killed by the traitorous ministers of the faint king. The two of us can follow the same path as Inspector Yuan, but it is not in vain to walk in the world. ”
Iron Bow Mountain said: "Well said. Although the two of us are not as good as the superintendent in terms of merit and character, we can't be underestimated by the traitor, you and I raise our heads and have a good taste of what these 3,600 knives are like. ”
Duan Hongyu said yes repeatedly, and then the two of them burst into a long laugh.
The surrounding people saw that the two of them were good men who regarded death as home, and they all applauded.
The escorting sergeant panicked, shouting loudly to the audience not to applaud, and urging the convoy to step up. Xia Qianxun was even more restless on the horse. Holding the two swords of the Yin Soul in his hands, a pair of wolf eyes kept searching around, lest something go wrong.
The convoy was moving forward when suddenly someone jumped into the middle of the road and blocked the way of the car.
Xia Qianxun grabbed the mount and took a look, only to see that it was the egret who stopped in front of Jiang Tie Bingxin, she was dressed in black, wearing filial piety on her head, although she was only one, but she was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if the people watching around were her people.
Duan Hongyu and Tie Gongshan saw that the prisoner car had stopped, and the crowd rushed forward, knowing that something was happening, but when they saw that it was Tie Bingxin who was blocking in front, they were all anxious.
Xia Qianxun said angrily: "Tie Bingxin, you have a foreign spy here, and the official can't find you all over the place, but you come to the door yourself, come and die quickly." ”
Tie Bingxin said: "Lord Xia, I came here this time to seek justice for my father and Duan Gongzi. My father has fought for the court all his life, he is covered with scars, and his enemies are all over the world, why should the court execute him?"
Xia Qianxun said: "Tiegong Mountain secretly broke through the king Li Zicheng, and recruited minions in the Jingshi, trying to sell the Jingshi to the thief. ”
Originally, there were many people who didn't know who was going to be executed, but now they know that it was the number one master of the Beijing Division, who swept the land of Yunpeng Iron Bow Mountain. Tiegongshan was born in a poor family, and since he was a child, although he later became a popular man before the emperor, he knew the suffering of the world. Over the years, he has been living a poor life, and he has given all the surplus money to the people in need. Tie Bingxin also often opened a porridge shop to give alms to beggars, and the father and daughter had a good reputation among the people of Beijing, and no one believed that Tie Gongshan, who had always been chivalrous and courageous, could be a spy of thieves, and the crowd was passionate for a while. Some scolded the court for being unscrupulous and traitors were rampant. Some avenged the father and daughter of Tiegong Mountain and strongly affirmed their innocence. Others are willing to be tortured on behalf of Tiegong Mountain, and there is chaos in all directions.
When Tiegongshan saw these people pleading for him, he was also moved to tears, and raised his hand to thank the masses.
Xia Qianxun was furious and said sharply: "Lord Lin, take down Tie Bingxin for me!"
Lin Fengting agreed, his feet stepped off the pedal, lightly touched the saddle bridge, and flew a shot to stab Tie Bingxin in the head.
Tie Bingxin "choked" the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Lord Lin, how can my father ever treat you badly, why do you have to work hard for the tiger?" The long sword swung upward, and a sword shadow rose into the sky, instantly submerging Lin Fengting's sword light.
Lin Fengting was actually full of sympathy for Tie Bingxin's father and daughter in his heart, and he was also very dissatisfied with Xia Qianxun's personality, but he was in the bandit's nest and had nothing to do. He lowered his voice and said to Tie Bingxin: "Bingxin, your father is seriously injured, and it is impossible for you to save him alone, so it is better to leave here quickly, and it is not too late to find an opportunity to take revenge in the future." ”
Tie Bingxin said: "Thank you, Lord Lin, it's just that my father was killed, how can I be alone? I am willing to go with my father." ”
Lin Fengting couldn't persuade Tie Bingxin, and he was also anxious.
