Chapter 28 The Strange Sound Under the Corpse

Three days came in a blink of an eye.

Even after three days of careful preparation, Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather was still very uneasy. Although he did not witness the tragic deaths of the first two executioners, he still felt shuddering through the vivid descriptions of others.

"The third executioner who died tragically", he felt deeply frightened. Perhaps as he grew older, he was no longer the "brave" person who was not afraid of the sky or the earth.

The night before his execution, he lay awake, thinking over and over again about his plan - whether there were any loopholes, whether he had overlooked anything, whether he had fully understood the contents of the third volume...

He stayed like this until almost dawn, when he took a nap.

On the day of the execution, the county town was completely empty. Almost everyone came to the execution ground to watch the excitement. Because the death of the first two executioners was widely spread, the three bandits were even said to be miraculous, so people wanted to see them.

Look, what does the last of these three very "witchcraft" bandits look like? Also, who is it today that dares to chop off the head of this third gangster? Aren't you afraid of being like the first two executioners?

For the people in the county, this winter has been really unusual. The deaths of the two bandits and the two executioners have become a must-talk topic for the people in this area after dinner. And the third bandit soon also

It's time to surrender.

What surprised people was that the great-grandfather of Zhang Butcher, the executioner, was wearing very special clothes today - from head to toe, he was dressed in clothes as white as snow, even his shoes were white. From a distance, it looked like he was wearing

Wearing mourning clothes, many people - including his family - were confused about his clothes. Not to mention that it was unlucky, wouldn't this be the place where he would be a dutiful son and grandson for the bandit's third son, wearing hemp and mourning?

All around, there were crowds of people watching the excitement. They looked at Grandpa Butcher Zhang's white clothes and started talking about it.

Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather acted as if he had not heard all this, with no expression on his face.

The sun has risen high, but in the cold winter, it still does not shed much warmth, and there are gusts of cold wind blowing from time to time.

Although the clothes worn by the third bandit are a bit tattered, they are relatively thick and will not freeze. Because people say that these three bandits are powerful in sorcery and can kill the executioner who chopped off their heads after death. Therefore, all

The government officials were very polite to the third child, fearing that he would have the ability to take revenge after his death. Therefore, even when the county magistrate ordered him to be tortured, the executioner's government officials would whisper to the third child for forgiveness, saying that he had no choice but to do so.

To carry this bowl of rice is to do this job.

Therefore, during the execution process, the government officials showed mercy, and during the execution process, although they tried a variety of tortures, they were all done in a perfunctory manner through their clothes. In fact, the county magistrate also knew this very well.

But he is a veteran in officialdom, and he feels that it is better to turn a blind eye to everything and not be too aggressive, so that he can have both sides. If he does not use torture, he will not be able to explain to his superiors; if he does use torture, it seems to be embarrassment for his subordinates, and he will arrest all three.

When we arrived, there was no important information, so we had to use severe punishment to obtain it.

Therefore, the third child's physical condition is still very good. Although he is shackled and his hands are still tied behind his back, it is not difficult to walk. He is steady and calm. The several government servants who are escorting him

, and no one dared to push or push him. They all allowed the old man to walk at his own speed, and they only followed him at a certain distance.

This third bandit didn't have the slightest fear on his face, but a look of contempt and disdain.

When they came to the beheading platform, according to the normal procedure, the prisoner would be tied up and kneeling on the ground. However, the third child not only did not kneel, but also spat in the face of Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather and shouted loudly.

When he cursed, the onlookers couldn't help but burst into an uproar and said, "This bandit is really fierce and arrogant."

But Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather's reaction was unexpected - he wasn't angry at all, as if the bandit was scolding someone else and not him.

When the onlookers all turned their attention to the beheading platform, they discovered that the platform was covered with a thick layer of lime. No one knew why this platform was covered with lime. In the past, executions were carried out on this platform.

But they had never done this before. They didn't know that Zhang Butcher's great-grandfather had specially requested that the lime be laid.

The third bandit was still yelling and cursing loudly on the stage. This went on for about half an hour, and some of the people watching seemed a little impatient.

At this moment, not far from the beheading stage, among the crowd watching the excitement, someone suddenly started to argue about something, and the quarrel became more and more fierce. In the end, they got into a fight, and it seemed like a group fight. So most of the attention

, suddenly transferred from the beheading stage to this turbulent group fight.

At this moment, Zhang Butcher's great-grandfather, who had been silent all this time, kicked the bandit's third son in the leg as fast as lightning. The bandit's third son couldn't help but bend his legs and kneel on the ground. Almost at the same time,

, the knife in Grandpa Zhang Butcher's hand flashed with white light and struck between the second and third vertebrae of the bandit's third neck - based on the guidance in those three books and many years of experience,

Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather knew better than anyone that when the knife was cut from this position, with just a little force on the wrist, the head would be chopped off cleanly.

Sure enough, the head of the third bandit, like a hat blown off by the wind, fell from the neck to the ground with a snap, and the blood in the neck spurted out. The moment he chopped off the head of the third bandit, Zhang Butcher's head

Grandpa stepped back suddenly, and then nervously checked whether there was any blood on himself. This was also the reason why he was dressed in white - if there was any blood on him, it would be easy to spot.

Just after the body of the third bandit fell to the ground, a strange sound came out from under the belly of the corpse - the sound seemed as if someone was pressed under the belly of the third bandit, and the person who was suppressed

As if calling for help.

The noise was so loud that even two government officials not far away heard it. They wanted to walk over and prepare to open the body of the bandit Lao San to see what was buried under the body.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they took two steps forward, they were shouted down by Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather. They had never seen Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather so nervous. This experienced old executioner could always act calmly.

, calm in the face of danger, very calm. But at this moment, his face looked frightened.
