Chapter 48 Killing the Cold in the Whole Baihu County
Chapter 48
After the Zhang Liu family got out of trouble, they immediately sold their property and transferred their family's medicinal materials business to Baihu County.
Feng Tianlei was a little surprised. He had been a head catcher for so many years and people from Baihu County had always moved out. This was the first time he saw someone moving here.
"are you done?"
Li Xing became a little impatient with waiting and couldn't help but urge him.
"Master Qi, you can continue." Feng Tianlei said.
Li Xing yawned: "Go on."
Zheng Dalong was next, and when Ma Qianli read out his verdict, the crowd burst into cheers.
At this time, Ma Qianli's throat was almost smoking.
There are too many people to be killed today.
Every time a head landed, the crowd burst into cheers.
But later on, the cheers became smaller and smaller, and people unconsciously felt a chill.
Heads fell to the ground one after another, blood dyed the ground red, and the smell of blood filled the air, attracting black crows to circle over the execution ground, making bursts of horrifying cries.
Shan Changhe only felt waves of numbness on his scalp. He dug his ears with his fingers and couldn't help but sigh: "The smell of blood is so strong."
Zhao Yu stood behind him and couldn't help but echoed: "Killing so many people in one go, Magistrate Li's murderous intent is stronger than it looks."
Shan Changhe snorted slightly and looked over. Li Xing was still sitting under the pergola, holding his chin in his hand, his face full of sleepiness.
One after another, the heads fell to the ground, which chilled the hearts of many people. Even a veteran like Zhao Yu felt his heart sink.
However, Li Xing acted as if nothing was wrong. So many heads fell to the ground, and it seemed to him that they were no different from wheat ears in autumn.
"How much information have been found about Li Xing?" Shan Changhe asked.
"Lord Qi, it was just delivered this morning." Zhao Yu recalled: "The Li family is a farmer who has been farming for generations. They originally had thousands of acres of fertile land. However, because local officials and businessmen colluded and robbed half of the Li family's land, Li's father was angry.
He had to be bedridden, and from then on, Li's father planted the idea of letting Li Xing become an official. Li Xing was sent to a private school when he was young. He was somewhat intelligent, but had no great merits. Li's father sold his property and donated a county magistrate to him.
, he himself became seriously ill and died.
Originally he was an official without a position, but because no one in Baihu County dared to take up the post, the Ministry of Personnel decided to fill his vacancy, which is a coincidence."
"It sounds like he is indeed a county magistrate who bought an official position." Shan Changhe said: "Where is Ma Qianli who took office with him? Have you found out?"
"Ma Qianli, forty-two years old, is a scholar who has failed many times. He used to write letters and test calligraphy for a living. After meeting Li Xing, he became his master."
"It turns out that I'm a novice. No wonder I don't know anything about officialdom." Shan Changhe said: "This is a bit strange."
A county magistrate who had never been a county magistrate and a master who had never been a master had just arrived in Baihu County and actually made some achievements.
At the very least, these fallen heads are not fake.
Shan Changhe looked into the distance. Li Xing was still yawning under the pergola. He shook his head and sighed:
"Magistrate Li is so cold-hearted, I'm afraid he will kill many people in the future."
Heads fell to the ground one after another, and the wind smelled of blood. The cool breeze blew by, and everyone couldn't help but shiver, as if a roaring ghost passed by them.
Today Li Xing's killing chilled the hearts of the entire Baihu County.
This place has always been a gathering place for three religions and nine streams, a place where fish and dragons are mixed together. There are many people hiding here incognito.
When encountering such a big event as beheading, they will naturally come to join in the fun.
But seeing this scene today, my heart was trembling.
Otherwise, we should withdraw.
The new county magistrate is a magistrate who loves beheading.
Today it's Pi Kefeng and Zheng Dalong. Maybe another day the sword will fall on his neck.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Following a long shout, a motorcade came from a distance.
Ade was sitting in the car, and before he even opened the curtain, he smelled the smell of blood.
"What does it smell like? What's happening outside?"
"For your information, my father-in-law, Magistrate Li is beheading me today."
"Okay, okay."
Eunuch Ade couldn't help but praise: "This is His Majesty's will. Magistrate Li is an obedient and loyal minister. Come on, come on, help me up, I want to see with my own eyes..."
The carriage curtain opened a crack, and Eunuch Ade's head poked out. At this moment, the executioner from the capital chopped off his head with a big knife in his hand.
A human head fell to the ground, and blood spurted three feet at the same time.
"Wow."
Eunuch Ade felt a chill on his neck, as if a knife had struck him, and then his eyes widened, and he fainted.
"Eunuch De, Eunuch De..."
The entourage was in a panic and shouted: "Oh no, Mr. De has fainted from fright."
…
When Eunuch Ade woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in a simple room.
"Father-in-law, are you okay?"
Shan Changhe came over and said.
The Yulong Guard and the inner court are friendly cooperative units. Eunuch Ade breathed a sigh of relief, held his chest and said: "The big stall, you scared me..."
"Haha, it's good that my father-in-law is fine."
Li Xing came over and said.
"Wow!"
Eunuch Ade's eyes darkened and he fainted again.
The room was packed with people, who looked at each other in confusion at this scene, then turned their heads and looked at Li Xing at the same time.
Li Xing scratched his head, wondering what I would do. Am I so scary?
When Eunuch Ade woke up again, he managed to calm down.
"Li Xing, listen to the order."
"Father, he is right outside the door. Do you want me to call him over?" Shan Changhe said.
Eunuch Ade paused and finally said: "That's all, let's announce the decree here."
After receiving the emperor's decree, Eunuch Ade asked someone to hand over the Evil-killing Sword to Li Xing.
Shan Changhe was stunned for a moment, thinking that with this sword, if he made a mistake, Li Xinglian could kill him.
Of course, this is only theoretical.
Then, Eunuch Ade took out another bag, patted it and said: "I returned to the palace this time and told your Majesty what happened in Baihu County. Your Majesty heard that County Magistrate Li didn't even have a change of clothes, and he had to pay for it after killing someone."
Wearing a bloody official uniform to interrogate a case, I almost cried. So I asked the craftsmen of the Clothing Bureau to rush to make this official uniform overnight."
Ma Qianli had a solemn look on his face and caught it with both hands.
"I will hand it over to my master personally."
"Um."
Eunuch Ade waved his hand feebly and said: "Let me slow down for a while."
Ma Qianli was holding clothes in both hands, and Feng Tianlei was holding a sword behind him.
Several detectives followed behind them, with the same serious expressions.
This is a great honor. The clothes given by His Majesty himself are enough to be recorded in the family tree and passed down from generation to generation.
Even those who passed it on felt light on their faces.
When they entered Li Xing's room, they saw him standing in front of the desk, frowning, confusion written on his face.
Ma Qianli was about to speak when he suddenly found a brand new official uniform lying on the desk.
"Master Li, this is..."
"This was sent by Xu Huang, saying that it was through the palace's clothing bureau." Li Xing's face remained confused: "He said he is my friend?"
