Baihu County is extremely lively today, and the streets are crowded with people.
The reason is simple: Baihu County wants to behead people today.
As a poor county, Baihu County has insufficient staffing. It does not even have the most basic executioners. However, there is a retired executioner who is eighty-nine years old. Although he is still in good spirits and is willing to contribute again, Li Xing
After much consideration, I finally chose to be cautious.
Therefore, although the decree had been conveyed long ago and Li Xing did not mind asking for execution, the prisoners in the prison were allowed to live for a few more days just because they could not find the executioner.
In the end, Shan Changhe couldn't bear it anymore and transferred an elite executioner from the capital to help Li Xing complete his task.
When the news spread, the entire Baihu County was in a sensation, and even villagers from the neighboring county came to see the excitement.
This is no wonder for them. In today's era, it is difficult to fill our stomachs materially, and our spiritual life is even closer to nothing.
You can watch ants climbing a tree for an entire afternoon, and a big event like beheading is equivalent to a year-end party.
The streets were already crowded with people, and Shan Changhe had to mobilize soldiers to maintain order.
People climbed up the treetops, rode on the walls, stood on the roofs, and surrounded the execution ground to three levels inside and three outside.
Li Xing, wearing a newly washed official uniform, first killed a big rooster and burned the yellow paper to offer sacrifices to heaven.
He expressed to God that he obeyed God's will above and obeyed the people below. He was not killing people indiscriminately, but to uphold the righteousness of heaven and earth.
The prisoners knelt down on the execution ground, and the first one to behead was Pi Kefeng.
This is also a reward for Pi Ke Feng’s recent cooperation.
There are too many people beheaded today. The last person to have the operation beheaded, the greater the psychological pressure.
Before it was my turn to behead, I was scared to death first. This kind of thing has happened before.
Ma Qianli read out Pik Feng's crime, which he had to chew on for several days before sharpening his pen. The last word was concise and concise, and could be replaced by one word: kill.
Pi Ke Feng raised his head and laughed with all his strength:
"Come on, kill me, and I will be a good man again in eighteen years."
Yang Erlang held his child in his arms, huddled under a low wall with his wife, and looked here with wide eyes.
Thinking about it now makes me feel scared. If Li Xing hadn't caught Pik Feng in time, their family would have been destroyed by now.
There were several families like theirs, all crowded together, staring at Pik Feng, with eyes that wanted to kill him directly.
Pi Kefeng was originally arrogant, but when he felt these looks, his heart suddenly trembled: It turns out that so many people want me to die.
"cut."
Li Xing threw down a red lottery ticket, and the elite executioner specially transferred from the capital cut him off with a single blow, and his head rolled to the ground.
Yang Erlang and some others cried loudly at the same time. It seemed that Pi Kefeng was still alive and his child might be abducted. Only now could he kill the devil in his heart.
There were several other families nearby, silently wiping their tears at this moment.
Yang Erlang knew that they were all from the neighboring county and had also lost their children.
"Is there no news yet?" Yang Erlang asked.
"Alas..." The other party sighed and did not continue: "It's a pity that I didn't meet Magistrate Li earlier."
…
"Lord Qingtian, Lord Qingtian..."
Yang Erlang and his group crowded towards the high platform, but were stopped by the surrounding soldiers.
"What to do?" Feng Tianlei asked. There were many people and things going on today, so he had to be careful.
"Thanks to Mr. Qingtian, our family can be reunited." Yang Erlang said: "Several of our families collected clothes for the children's full moon and made a longevity shirt for you. I wish you great blessings and a long life."
Li Xing thought, I am a person who wants to cultivate immortality. If I am allowed to live a long life, wouldn't it mean that I am cursed to die early?
But seeing Yang Erlang and others so excited, Li Xing was unwilling to say more. He waved his hand and said, "Take it, you won't have to do it next time."
Yang Erlang and the others thanked him profusely and were finally persuaded to leave.
The next person to ask was Wang Fan. It was still the same process as before, but Ma Qianli's mouth was already a little dry.
"cut!"
As the red sign fell to the ground, Wang Fan's head also fell to the ground.
"Lord Qingtian"
There was another sound from the crowd, this time the sound was much more orderly than before.
I saw a group of strong men appearing in the crowd, all eight feet tall and with an inverted triangle figure. They only wore short shirts, exposing their strong shoulder muscles.
The group of strong men separated a road among the crowd, leading all the way to the execution ground.
"What are you doing?" Feng Tianlei shouted, wondering if this group of people were here to rob the execution ground.
"My lord, don't blame me."
A middle-aged man in a long gown walked out from behind the big man. He walked quickly to the front and waved. The four big men in front were carrying a plaque. The outside was covered with red silk, so it was difficult to see what was written on it.
"Everyone in the Zhou family would like to thank you for upholding justice and avenging us."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man clapped his hands, and the big man tore off the red silk on the plaque, revealing four words in front of everyone:
Blue sky and white moon.
The crowd burst into cheers, and Feng Tianlei couldn't help but gasp, because he saw that these four characters were obviously gold-plated.
The Zhou family is really rich.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou didn't come today?"
"My dad is behind. He wants to thank you in person."
At this time, a big man ran over quickly and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear.
Young Master Zhou was startled this time and couldn't help wiping his tears.
"Master Zhou, what happened?" Feng Tianlei asked.
"My dad is... so happy."
Wang Fan's matter has always been a stone weighing on Zhou Zheng's heart. It can be said that even if Wang Fan is not dead, Zhou Zheng will reach out even if he is lying in the coffin.
Today, I saw Wang Fan's head fall to the ground with my own eyes. Zhou Zheng's heart disease was completely gone. He could finally close his eyes and smile.
Zhou's family was in a panic and had to go back to handle his funeral.
Li Xing shook his head and continued to preside over the procedure.
The next person to ask is the Big-Eyed Six Sons.
Because of Shan Changhe's intervention, the parents of Liangcheng County next door did not dare to deal with the matter at all, and directly sent the culprit back to Li Xing for interrogation.
Li Xing submitted an official document to the Ministry of Punishment a few days ago, and the reply was approved in the past two days.
A concise and concise word: cut.
Following Li Xing's order, the heads of the six men with big eyes fell to the ground.
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, but a few people beat their chests, shook their heads and sighed - they were Big Eye Liuzi's creditors, and Big Eyen Liuzi had not paid back the money they owed them.
"Lord Qingtian!"
At this moment, a mother and son rushed over. Feng Tianlei was about to stop him when he suddenly recognized Zhang Weimin and said with a smile: "Are you okay now?"
"Thank you, Master Qingtian."
Zhang Liushi next to her said: "For the sake of the people, please kowtow to Master Qingtian."
Zhang Weimin knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Shan Changhe was right in his estimation. There were too many tricks hidden in Zhang Liu's case.
The Zhang family had certain assets. After Zhang Shang's death, this became a piece of fat that everyone wanted to take a bite of.
It was not surprising that Zhang Liu was wrongfully accused of murdering her husband.
If Shan Changhe had not ordered Zhao Yu to go with him, Zhang Liu would never have been released so early.
Mrs. Zhang Liu knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, these are some pairs of cloth shoes that I sewed overnight. I hope you won't dislike them."
Feng Tianlei chatted a few more words, and Li Xing urged: "What happened? Are you okay?"
"Sir, they said they have moved to Baihu County and want to open a pharmacy here."
