Chapter 60: Ordered to be executed, please allow the execution (for Brother Meng
On the eighth day of May, near noon, in front of the South Martial Arts Hall of Dushikou Fort.
One hundred bandits who had been kidnapped were all kneeling on the west side. Behind them were two hundred mighty armored sergeants. Two sergeants were guarding one bandit.
To the south is the Kaiping Guard, where the officers and generals of Dushi Fort, such as the commander Jin Xinpeng and others, are here. There is a chair behind him, but at this time he did not sit down, but congratulated Biao with a look on his face.
Standing majestically.
After Zhang Cheng rode his horse and gave a lecture, he walked around the arena again before he came to the door of the martial arts hall, got off his horse, walked to the Grand Master's chair at the front, and said to Chen Zhong: "Give me the order to escort those gangsters whose crimes have not been revealed to the east."
Watch the punishment in person!"
After saying that, he sat on the chair. After receiving the order, Chen Zhong turned around and shouted a few times. The four hundred armored knights then turned over and dismounted, with uniform movements.
After they dismounted, one hundred knights led the horses back to the martial arts hall, and the remaining three hundred people stood in the south, west, and north directions to maintain order among all parties.
Seeing Zhang Cheng sitting down, Jin Xinpeng breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to Zhang Cheng. He said softly: "General, that boy Jin Jincheng is very good at managing the army. I hope he can help the general."
Zhang Cheng turned around and said, "Master Jin, please be patient. I will not treat him badly."
After saying that, he stopped talking. At this time, as Chen Zhong conveyed Zhang Cheng's military order, another dark crowd came from the east, and Zhang Guangda walked at the front with one eye staring at him.
Behind him, Tong Shoushan, Zhou Ping, Wang Tieren, Cui Shijie and others each led a hundred armored sergeants, escorting more than 500 people and came over in a dense crowd.
These are bandits from various hills. They have not committed many crimes. Zhang Cheng asked them to come and watch the execution to scare their minds so that they can be used by me. Fifty of them were tied into a string with hemp rope, making ten rows in total, and they all knelt down.
over there.
He Biao, wearing a bright red official robe, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "General, we have captured hundreds of thieves, and we plan to execute them by beheading. Now that the time has come, I have been ordered to supervise the beheadings. Please allow the execution."
"
"Take it and kill it immediately!"
Zhang Cheng shouted loudly and threw a golden arrow to He Biao.
After receiving the order, the governor He Biao strode towards the west, followed by twenty sergeants who also had cold expressions on their faces.
Following He Biao's orders, ten of the bandits who were being held in custody on the west side were immediately pushed to the middle. One of the two sergeants pushed them to the ground, while the other forcefully pulled the long hair on the bandits' heads.
Ten more armored sergeants stepped forward, holding swords in their arms, and stood beside each bandit. They waved the swords in their hands to compare the distance, and then held them back in their arms.
At this time, ten more sergeants came forward. Each of them came to the bandit with a bowl of wine in their hands. They took a sip first and held it in their mouths, then suddenly sprayed it towards the necks of the ten bandits.
.
Then they took another sip of strong wine, and the sergeant next to them raised the sword in their arms into the air, and then sprayed the strong wine in their mouths on the sword.
After everything was completed, the team officer leading the team ran to the executioner He Biao and loudly announced: "Everything is ready, please order the execution!"
"Execution!"
He Biao shouted loudly.
"cut!"
The execution team officer ran back and shouted again.
Under the reflection of the sun, I saw large knives flying, streams of bright red blood splashing, heads rolling to the ground, and screams of surprise coming from all directions.
…………
Not to mention the military households in the north who came out of curiosity to watch the excitement, even the fierce bandits on the west side who were kneeling and waiting to be killed were crying for their fathers and mothers and howling in sorrow.
They have no backbone to speak of. They usually bully men and dominate women. If it really comes to a critical moment, they will just run away first. Today, they are about to fall to the ground. When they die, they collapse instantly and cry.
into one piece.
When He Biao saw Xi Bian was slightly flustered, he turned around and glared angrily, waved his hand and said, "Shut up!"
The twenty sergeants behind him rushed away with big sticks in their hands. They smashed them and the wailing gangsters suddenly seemed quiet. Although there were some who were still crying quietly, they did not dare to wail loudly anymore.
cry.
Following the orders, ten more bandits were escorted to the center. The same procedure was repeated, and at the same order, ten more heads rolled to the ground.
The military households watching the excitement outside Nanguan covered their mouths and exclaimed, and some of the timid ones began to retreat.
People are like this. Before they see something, they are very curious and may not even believe it. But when they actually see it, they often cannot accept it.
Today, I heard that the new sub-defense general was going to behead the captured bandits outside the South Pass, so they all went to the south of the castle to watch the beheadings out of curiosity.
But when they really saw the bloody scene, they all jumped with fear. They looked at the heads rolling on the ground, and then looked at Zhang Cheng, who was sitting steadily opposite with a cold expression.
Everyone was as silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound. Even those military households who were extremely frightened just squeezed back quietly without using too much force.
"Oh, I said... Huahua, aren't you usually quite upright... Why did you squeeze back..."
"Who backed away... you idiot... you idiot..."
…………
"This...killing so many people at once...isn't it...?"
The voice of Cao Jinwang, the manager of the Kaiping Wei Experience Department, was trembling.
"Well, Mr. Zhang is not simple. With his courage, Liu Zhi is convinced."
Zhenfusi Zhenfu Liu Zhi's tone was calmer. After all, that's what he did. However, today he had to behead hundreds of people in one scene, but it was also the first time in his life that he had seen it.
"Master Jin, if you beheaded more than a hundred people at once, is it too much?"
There was no trace of blood on the face of Xue Liangqing, the commander of the Kaiping Guards. He was usually aloof, but he had not seen such a bloody scene for many years. He only felt that his chest was extremely depressed, as if there was a stale breath blocking it, and it was very uncomfortable.
"Hmph, these bandits have been causing trouble on our North Road for many years. I have long wanted to cut them off, but I just wish I didn't have the ability to do so. Today, General Zhang helps me achieve my wish. It is really a blessing for our soldiers and people on the North Road!"
The conductor Jin Xinpeng's words made Xue Liangqing feel dizzy. He felt dizzy in front of his eyes. What was going on?
Jin Tongzhi had always been worried about Zhang Cheng coming to the North Road, so why did he suddenly change his attitude? The more he thought about this, the more irritable he felt inside. He grabbed the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, and his face became even more irritated.
Sometimes it turns white, sometimes it turns red.
Jin Xinpeng glanced sideways at Xue Liangqing and saw that his huge fat face was covered with beads of sweat and his whole body seemed to be shaking. He cursed in his heart: What a loser. Such a short-sighted person dares to think about overthrowing him.
