In the Sheriff's Mansion, the lanterns hanging all over the place are no longer enough to reflect the atmosphere at this time.
Dozens of torches "crackled" with sparks, illuminating the corpses and bloodstains on the ground like Shura Hell.
Ximen Hai and some guards knelt on the ground, not daring to express their anger.
In front of them, there was a bright Yanyue knife, emitting a frightening cold light.
Ximen Hao was sitting at the door of his bedroom, with two monsters as big as wolf dogs lying at his feet.
The walls and furniture inside the bedroom were covered with arrows.
Ji Wubing's face was a little pale, and there were a few holes in his clothes.
Everyone remained silent, as if waiting for something.
Soon, Akko came over dragging a skinny old man by his hand.
The old man was covered in injuries, but not dead. He breathed a sigh of relief and was dragged over by A Ke like a dog.
Ximen Hai heard the movement, turned his head and glanced, and his expression suddenly changed.
In fact, he had already guessed who sent the assassin, but what surprised him was that the military advisor was actually found out.
"Plop!"
Akko threw the general division on the ground next to a pile of corpses.
"Master, this old dog wants to escape."
Ximen Hao flicked his finger, and a third-grade healing pill shot towards Akko.
"Save him and let Master Hao interrogate him."
Akko grabbed the elixir and stuffed it into the military counselor's mouth.
All she was left with were external injuries and no internal injuries. After taking a third-grade healing pill, she soon regained consciousness.
When he saw the corpses on the ground and Ximen Hao across from him, his face turned pale with fear and his body began to tremble.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Master is from the King of Huainan!"
When Ximen Hai saw that his master had been captured alive, he was frightened and hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
"Ximen Hai!"
The master suddenly looked at Ximen Hai fiercely, this old cunning guy is so cunning!
"Okay, stop acting."
Ximen Hao looked at Ximen Hai sarcastically. Ake had already told him about the previous conversation between the two.
Ximen Hai’s face changed drastically and he kowtowed:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is aware of this! I am loyal to the Qing Kingdom! No! I am loyal to Your Majesty! I am loyal to you!"
"Ahem! Since the Lord Governor is willing to show his loyalty, then you will be responsible for the execution of this master and the people of King Huainan of Xingsha County."
Ji Wubing casually sent Ximen Hai into hell in an instant.
"ah?!"
Ximen Hai looked at Ji Wubing with a pale face, panic in his eyes.
In this way, I have to risk my life to keep the country of Qing!
Ximen Hao glanced at Ji Wubing and said to himself: A sick dog bites really hard, its mouth is fatal!
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Ximen Hai! You wallflower, let's see how you fail! Hahaha..."
The master knew that he would definitely die today, so he stopped being afraid and became crazy instead.
Ximen Hai's face turned blue and white at turns when his master said it, and at the same time he hated Ji Wuyi to the core of his bones.
Ximen Hao looked at the crazy master and simply didn't bother to question him, so he just stuck a puppet talisman on his body.
"Tell me, how many people in Xingsha County are from King Huainan?"
"Eight people." Master said like a puppet.
"this……"
Ximen Hai was stunned for a moment, this scene was so weird.
Ximen Hao raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Master Sheriff, he said, remember, I will see these people appear at the execution ground tomorrow morning."
He was no longer polite to Ximen Hai. After Ake reported the conversation between Ximen Hai and his master, he saw clearly this wallflower.
Such a cunning old man can only force him until there is no way out!
Ximen Hai knew there was no way out now, so he had no choice but to take action.
So, the master announced eight names, and Ximen Hai's expression changed every time he named them.
Because, these eight officials are all officials from important departments in Xingsha County!
It seems that King Huainan put a lot of effort into paving the way for Brahma Hegemon. Fortunately, the army of Great Qin restrained Brahma Hegemon, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
Ximen Hao and Ji Wubing looked at each other and smiled.
After capturing Ximen Hai and then relying on the defenders of Xingsha County to deal with Brahma Tyrant, all plans went very smoothly.
After Ximen Hai had no way out, he summoned people overnight to capture these eight officials, along with their fellow tribesmen!
Suddenly, the originally quiet Xingsha City suddenly became lively. That night, the entire city's residents were awakened by bursts of screams and cries.
As for Ximen Hao, he and Ji Wubing spent the whole night muttering in the room, and no one knew what the hell they were discussing.
Early the next morning, Ximen Hai personally supervised the execution and escorted the nine officials together with the master and more than a hundred of their tribesmen to the execution ground in Xingsha City!
Ximen Hao also arrived at the execution ground, and at the same time there were 500 Ritian cavalry used to suppress the execution!
…
At the west gate of Xingsha City is a huge square. I don’t know how many people have been killed in this square over the years. Whenever the sun shines, the bluestone ground will turn red.
Today's execution ground is full of criminals in prison uniforms, including men and women, old and young, whose mouths are sealed to prevent them from shouting.
On the execution platform at the execution ground, Ximen Hai was wearing an official uniform and an official hat, sitting in the middle. Although his face was majestic, there was cold sweat on his forehead.
Behind him were most of the officials from Xingsha County, including some city lords who were able to come.
They were all trembling with fear, but at the same time they were very happy. They were happy that they hesitated and did not make a choice.
Because many people here have been attracted by Master, but the accusation of rebellion makes them afraid to make a decision for a while.
Fortunately, he didn't make a decision, otherwise he and his clan would be the ones kneeling here.
Ximen Hao was riding a magic lin, holding a three-meter-meter sword in hand, standing on the execution platform, like a god of war.
The entire execution ground was surrounded by five hundred cavalry wearing grimace masks. Each of them held a weapon and rode steadily on a war horse wrapped in iron armor.
Although there was no sound at all, the entire execution place was filled with evil spirits.
There was a huge crowd of people outside. They stretched their necks and looked curiously at the prisoners on the execution ground, making comments.
"Let's get started~"
Ximen Hao glanced at Ximen Hai and said calmly.
Ximen Hai was startled and wiped away a cold sweat.
Then he stood up slowly and said loudly:
"Listen, people of Xingsha City! These people have colluded with the traitor Ximen Wentian! Today, their homes were confiscated and their clans were exterminated. This is to serve as a warning to others! Come on!"
"Hoola!"
Two hundred swordsmen and axemen rushed out from the crowd. Since there were not enough executioners, these were all drawn from the defenders.
I saw two hundred axemen holding broadswords standing scattered behind the prisoners, each with solemn expressions. The broadswords in their hands were illuminated by the sun like two hundred mirrors.
Ximen Hai took a deep breath and picked up the command arrow on the table, his wrist trembling slightly.
"Qiang!"
Two hundred broadswords were raised high, carrying the aura of death.
