The ancients believed that the three o'clock in the afternoon was the best time to perform the execution of the death row prisoner. At this time, the yang energy was the most powerful. The violent sunlight could turn the prisoner's soul into flying smoke, making it impossible for him to become a ghost to harm others. However, today is the spring rain and the sky is gloomy. There is no sunshine until noon. It is obviously not a good day for execution and beheading.

However, the will of the imperial envoy Xu Da was impossible to be affected by the weather. As soon as the noon arrived, Yu Dayou, who was tied up in a large open space outside the camp, was taken to the open space to prepare for beheading. All the soldiers and family members of the Yangzhou Guard were watched and executed. This was the order of the imperial envoy, and no one could violate it.

The spring rain was like silk, and the chill was chilly. Yu Dayou, who was mixed with blood, knelt down in the mud. He had just been hit by thirty military sticks last night, still straightening his waist straight, with a very shame on his face. The executioner who was responsible for the execution stood behind Yu Dayou, holding a ghost-headed knife with a cold light, naked, staring at his eyes, with a ferocious look.

If we follow the standards, a single umbrella should have 5,600 people, but Yangzhou umbrella is obviously seriously short of staff, because there are less than 4,000 soldiers present, almost 40% of them are missing.

The Yangzhou Guards present were not allowed to carry weapons. They lined up in line with the establishment. Most of them had numb expressions, and some showed sympathy. However, Yu Dayou's dozens of soldiers were under the control of the eyes, all of whom were as red as rabbits. Su Qing and Feng Laoliu, the leaders, clenched their fists even tightly.

Xu Jin sat on the prison stern with a serious expression, Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong stood solemnly on both sides, dozens of 500 battalions of soldiers with live ammunition were guarding the surroundings, with sharp eyes monitoring the surroundings. If anyone dared to make any abnormal movement, a row of guns would probably call him over.

There was an incense burner on the table, and a stick of incense was inserted into the incense burner. It was half burned. When the incense burned, it was time for the head to fall to the ground. Xu Jin sat behind the desk, quietly waiting for the arrival of noon at 3 o'clock.

Yu Dayou knelt in the mud and water, staring at Su Qing and Feng Laoliu in the onlooker team with wide eyes. The warning smell was very strong. The latter two dared not look at them, but their clenched fists gradually loosened.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the incense stick was about to burn to the end. Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian's faces were gloomy and terrible. Xu Jin picked up the arrow expressionlessly. At this moment, Su Qing and Feng Laoliu in the team finally moved.

"Qingsnake Lao Liu, stop me!" Yu Dayou shouted with his eyes, but Su Qingsnake and Feng Lao Liu did not stop. They walked into the field with a decisive expression, and knelt down in the mud, smashing mud and water splashing.

Xu Jin sighed lightly and shouted sternly: "Who is under the case? Why are you obstructing the execution?"

"I am the deputy family member Su Qing!"

"I am the chief Feng Laoliu!"

Su Qingshe and Feng Laoliu shouted: "Sir, the matter of stealing and selling firearms in the army is done by both of us, and it is not about Yu Baihu's business."

"Fuck it, I'm all done by me. What good guys do you do? Get back to me, immediately!" Yu Dayou shouted sternly, and tried to struggle to stand up, but was kicked down mercilessly by the executioner behind him.

"Boss Yu, we obviously did this. We can't watch you take the blame." Su Qingshe's eyes were red and her face was filled with tears.

Feng Laoliu became even more straightforward, knocking three times at the back of the case, and shouting loudly: "Mr. Imperial Commander, we did the stealing of firearms. Boss Yu had no idea about it beforehand. Afterwards, he beat us up and wanted to recover the sold firearms. Unfortunately, Ergouzi, who bought the firearms, could no longer find anyone. So it's not about Boss Yu's business at all. If you want to cut us down, you should cut us."

Xu Jin put the command arrow back into the signboard and said with interest: "There are many people who grab credit, but it is rare for them to grab the beheading. Feng Laoliu, Su Qing, right? Since you said that the firearm was sold by you, what evidence is there?"

Feng Laoliu hurriedly said: "Those firearms were stolen from the warehouse by Xiao and Su Qing, and they were also the price we negotiated with Ergouzi in person."

"How many firearms have you sold in total? How much silver do you get?"

"Twenty-three muskets, twelve landmines, three three-eyed guns, one bead gun, and an explosive bowl-mouth gun, which totals eight taels and five cents of silver and forty-eight cents."

Feng Laoliu said the specific numbers in one verbal, which coincided with the batch of firearms seized from Dongsha Island. He obviously did not lie. In comparison, the numbers Yu Dayou mentioned last night were much more general.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "The number and type of firearms sold are consistent, it seems that you really did it."

Su Qing and Feng Laoliuxi said: "That's right, it's just what we did. It's not about Boss Yu's business. Did the imperial envoy let him go?"

Xu Jin sneered: "Your words can only prove that you have participated in the stealing of firearms, but it cannot prove Yu Dayou's innocence. What's more, even if he really didn't participate, as Shangguan, he knew that he would not report it and shelter his subordinates. He should also be punished. Someone came to tie Su Qing and Feng Laoliu and executed them together."

Several 500 battalions of soldiers rushed forward immediately, tied Su Qing and Feng Laoliu, and took them to Yu Dayou to kneel down. Yu Dayou cursed with red eyes and said, "You two uncles, come here, you are here to get your life in vain!"

Feng Laoliu showed a uglier smile than crying and said, "Boss Yu, isn't this better? We brothers and three of us set out together to be companion on the road to the underworld."

Su Qing nodded and said, "Lao Liu is right. We three brothers will go on the road together. If we are not lonely, we may continue to be brothers in the next life."

Yu Dayou's face was covered with mud, his eyes were moist, and he suddenly roared to the sky: "Drinking, I want to drink!"

Qi Jingtong looked at Xu Jin with inquisitive eyes, and saw that the latter nodded slightly, so he ordered people to pour three bowls of wine to deliver. Yu Dayou and the other two drank all the wine, then looked at each other and laughed.

"Brother, is the knife sharp?" Yu Dayou turned his head and asked.

The executioner grinned and said, "My knife cuts iron like mud, and his ancestral craftsmanship will break the knife when it falls, so he will never drag it out."

Yu Dayou said with satisfaction: "That's good, I'm hard, so I ask, okay, then I'll give our brother a happy time later."

Seeing the executioner raise his butcher knife, the eyes of the dozens of soldiers in the onlooker team became redder and redder. They were all soldiers under Yu Dayou. I don’t know who took the lead first, but rushed out.

Scroll...

The 500 battalion soldiers raised their flintlock rifles and pointed them at this group of people. If Xu Jinju hadn't started to stop them in time, the flintlock rifles would have been activated at this moment and killed all dozens of people.

Plop...

All seventy or eighty soldiers fell to their knees in the mud. Some cried loudly and begged for mercy for Yu Dayou and the other two, while others scolded the upper-level officers for exploiting and exploiting them in a grief and anger, forcing them to desperate situations. Then they took the risk and stole and sold abandoned firearms in the army...

It was like a ignited explosive barrel. The long-term suppressed emotions of the soldiers burst out instantly. More and more people walked out and knelt down and cried loudly, and the scene was in chaos.

Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian obviously did not expect things to turn out like this, and immediately summoned all the five hundred battalions of soldiers, as if they were facing a great enemy to guard the surroundings of Xu Jin. However, the gap between the two hundred and thousands was really big.
