It had just rained in the morning, and the air was still filled with thin water.

This should be a very ordinary morning after rain.

If it is like every day, every household will open the door in the rain and fog, men will make a living, women will clean the courtyard, children will go to school, and elderly will sit in front of the street.

But today, people in the long street are alienated.

But the crowded voices that came from somewhere suddenly came, and the sound shook the water after the rain, and the wind dissipated and disappeared without a trace.

Without water, the morning sun is extremely hot.

It shines on the alienated long street, leaving the shadow of the house. It shines outside the Meridian Gate, responding to the noisy shouts.

It seems that everyone in the capital is here.

There are three layers inside and three layers outside, which are not airtight. No matter whether it is a peddler or a scholar who is studying, no matter whether it is a noble child or a poor boy.

After two bangs and bangs, a prison car drove slowly. In the prison car, a person with disheveled hair curled up in a corner of the prison car in fear.

The official in front of the prison car read aloud the crimes of the death row prisoner.

"Zhang Xin, a former Hanlin scholar, was deeply loved by Jun En as one of the undergraduate exams. However, he ignored the sages and did not place the country first. He privately deprived his fellow villagers of his own, and dismissed the Northern scholars for his own selfish desires, even if no one was on the list!"

"The emperor is kind and kind, so he allowed him to read the book again, but he was still crazy. In order to conceal his selfishness, he bewitched his colleagues and colluded with his colleagues, and he was so mean to present him with His Majesty. He also said that the northern scholars were taboo in their words and had no knowledge of literature and theory."

"There is a heart that can be punished, but the crime should be killed! He will be executed by the criminal Zhang Xin in half according to the sages!"

The voices of the officials and runners resounded throughout the long street, and the crowd looked at Zhang Xin more and more disgusted.

Suddenly, a scholar rioted among the crowd, ate half a bun in his hand, and threw it into the prison cart.

"Dog official!"

Then, the crowd burst into anger, and the things in their hands kept smashing into the prison car, just like rain.

Zhang Xin curled up in the prison car, his hands tightly guarding his head, and his mouth made sobs and screams.

"Dog official!"

Another roar was heard. Wherever the prison car passed, countless pickled objects fell on the second floor of the winery on the street, just pouring Zhang Xin on his body.

In the smell of smell, Zhang Xin looked up and happened to see the scholars on the second floor cursing at him.

"I am also a scholar!"

"There is a scum like you who are not virtuous or unqualified in the world!"

"Bah! I'm ashamed to be with you!"

"They, why do they scold me?"

Zhang Xin in the prison car looked at the faces of the scholars and forgot his situation for a moment.

The people beat him and scold him, but he doesn't care. What are the people? They love to see the unlucky officials the most.

The scholars in the north beat him and scold him, and he knew it was a matter of course.

But why do these Jiangnan scholars above the building also curse him?

He couldn't even figure it out until his death was about to come.

～～～

"It's so heavy!"

In the private room of another teahouse, looking at Zhang Xin in the prison car, Han Kezhong, the top winner of the new North List, shook his head and said, "It's too heavy to cut in half!"

"Brother Han is a bad guy!" Jiang Hongye, who was inseparable from him, smiled, "It is said that at the beginning, the Supreme Emperor gave Lingchi, which was the emperor's benevolence, so he changed it to be cut in half!"

"It's so heavy!" Han Kezhong sighed, "It's enough to be three-foot white silk, and the punishment of being cut in half is too cruel and contrary to Tianhe!"

Liu Nianen, who had been smiling, said, "No, no, no, no, no, no," and said, "This scholar Zhang has been charged with protecting the southerners, and no matter north or south, he cannot tolerate him."

"The northerners wish they could eat their meat alive." (dan)

"The Southerners want to crush his bones and throw them into ashes!"

Jiang Hongye was very puzzled, "Why do the scholars in the south hate him?"

"The laughing stock of the eternal ones!" Liu Nianen whispered.

~~~

At this time, Zhang Xin, who was as though he was as dead as dust, was pulled to the punishment platform on the long street.

He lay on the long wooden pier, his hands and feet were tightly clasped by iron chains.

"Sir Zhang, the villain will send you on your way!" The third son of Lizi, Shouzhuang, first saluted respectfully, then served a bowl of wine, "You can use a sip!"

There was no expression in Zhang Xin's eyes, only numbness, nodding like a walking corpse.

Zhuang Laosan delivered the wine to Zhang Xin's mouth, and the latter took a sip.

Then, Zhuang Laosan changed another bowl of wine and drank it in big gulp.

Puff, the wine turned into fog from his mouth, and it was sprayed onto a guillotine that was wide for one person.

"Do you have something to say?" Zhuang Laosan asked again.

Zhang Xin finally had a look on his face. Looking at the person who was waiting for him to be beheaded, he suddenly smiled miserably.

"Forty years, my dream of family and country has been ruined but I have become empty."

"A high-ranking official and noble are ultimately shadows, so it is better to laugh and hide in the mountains and forests!"

Then, he closed his eyes in despair.

"Send Mr. Zhang to the road!"

Zhuang Laosan whistled up to the sky, his arms suddenly rose, and his guillotine was aimed at Zhang Xin's thigh.

"ah!"

Crack, the guillotine sounded.

"Ah!" The crowd was shocked.

"God!" Zhang Xin screamed hysterically.

His body was cut into two pieces, and his internal organs were not exposed from his waist and abdomen as he imagined. Instead, in the blood like a waterfall, his upper body was still intact.

The body on the wooden pier has turned into two pieces, the upper body twisting wildly, and the lower body trembles slightly.

This is really worse than death.

The executioner did not kill him with one knife. He killed half of his body, so he wanted to suffer to death by himself.

Then, an executioner unbuttoned the iron chain on Zhang Xin's hand.

The half of the body began to twist and roll on the torture platform, and a beast-like roar was heard in his mouth.

The crowd watching the fun took a few steps back and exclaimed.

"Ah! Ah! It hurts! It hurts!" Zhang Xin shouted, scratching his hands on the ground, slowly moving forward, leaving blood marks under his body.

The white bones are clearly visible in the red blood.

Zhuang Laosan cut him off with one knife and broke him from his hip.

"The way of heaven... is unfair..."

Zhang Xin crawled and shouted, dipped his fingers in his blood, and wrote words trembling on the ground, "Miss! Miss! Miss!"

~~~~

On the upper floor of the restaurant opposite the Zhengtai, in the hidden private room.

Ling Han stood up and glared at the people around him. He shouted, "Cut him halfway, why do you want this?" As he said that, he looked at Bao Zhao, "You are the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is it your instructor?"

Before the other party could speak, the old man shouted, "The emperor's intention is to give him some pleasure, but you......What's the difference between this behavior and Zhang Xin's selfishness?"

Bao Zhao smiled helplessly, "Old lord, the lower official can't bear to do this. The so-called death is the greatest, why did the lower official let him suffer these tortures until he dies!" As he said that, he sighed, "It's because the palace has an order, and Zhang Xin is not allowed to die happily!"

Ling Han was stunned for a while and understood.

The will in the palace must not be the will of the emperor, but must be the will of the Supreme Emperor.

If the Supreme Emperor hated anyone, he would definitely not let that person die quickly.

"Come here!" Ling Han thought for a while and said loudly, "Go to pass on my words, and give Zhang Xin a happy time!"

"Sir, look!" Before he finished speaking, someone around him exclaimed.

I saw a Jinyiwei suddenly appear on the punishment platform, bent down and pressed Zhang Xin, who was struggling and howling, and aimed the short knife in his hand at his heart.

Just a moment, it was so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Then, there was no more Zhang Xin's screams in the world and returned to peace.

"The Emperor is here too!" Ling Han whispered when he saw this.

Then, his eyes searched around and saw several figures on the city tower.

~~

The shadows of the long street dissipated, and under the scorching sun, several fly buzzed and flew on the dark red blood.

Two pieces of corpses were exposed to the sun in the dry pool of blood.

"Master, please slow down!"

Under an umbrella, Liu Sanwu was supported by his subordinates and moved slowly.

The tragic moment in front of him made him close his eyes, and then he said hoarsely, "I've restrained!"

"Why!"

The loyal old servant agreed and commanded several powerful servants to cover Zhang Xin's body with white cloth, and then carried it into the coffin.

In the coffin, Zhang Xin was covered with white cloth, and he couldn't tell that his body had been broken into two pieces.

"I will not make a mistake after promising you!" Liu Sanwu looked at the student in the coffin for the last time and whispered, "I have someone to send you home!"
