It was raining, so Su Ziji was not wearing a raincoat, but held an umbrella. He walked not far from the high platform and stopped when he could see the stage clearly.
At this time, people were already pouring in, hundreds of people were surrounding them, and they were making noisy noises. It turned out that there were some people living near Panlong Lake, and there was a lot of commotion here. Although there was no notice posted saying that the local magistrate was to be killed, people nearby
Some people also gathered around, looking around and whispering.
At this time, the imperial envoy has not arrived yet. In front of the high platform, there is wine on the small table. On the left and right of the high platform are the imperial envoy's soldiers, holding their hands on the hilts of their swords, while the yamen servants all carry whips. As long as anyone approaches, they will whip.
Su Ziji was near these people, even if he didn't hide his figure deliberately, he would not attract the attention of the high platform.
"Killing doesn't happen at night."
“Even if it’s not yet noon, the sun must come out—if there’s no sun now, it’s Mao hour.”
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a loud voice singing: "The imperial envoy, Luo Pei, has arrived!"
The yamen officer drawled "Mighty——", and the hundreds of onlookers immediately fell silent. They saw Luo Pei without saying a word, sitting on the stage in the middle, and beside him were a group of prefecture and county officials, all with serious faces.<
/p>
"Bring people to commit crimes!" Luo Pei saw that the arrangements were in place and said without hesitation.
"It's strange." The wild Taoist suddenly said: "I have seen this imperial envoy several times before, and he always looked blessed. Even though he can avoid evil, this time..."
Su Ziji stared at the people on the high platform and saw that the lean official's face was ashen. He was not at all as calm and calm as when he saw him before, and he sighed in his heart.
"Looking comes from the heart, this saying is indeed true."
At this time, several government officials came over escorting a man in official uniform, but it was Huang Liangping. He seemed to have been tortured again and was carried out.
As soon as the yamen officer let go, he collapsed on the ground. It was obvious that his legs were pinched by the sticks. But at this time, although his face was pale and there was something in his mouth, he was not frightened. He just looked at it.
Luo Pei sneered.
"There is no big deal except death. At this point, I am a bachelor." Huang Liangping did not try to struggle, and his face was calm. This was all in the eyes of bystanders.
"Huang Liangping below has a dead look on his face, and so does the imperial envoy above." The wild Taoist has the ability to read faces, and he couldn't help but rub his chin and said.
Su Ziji sighed: "Huang Liangping killed people, wiped out his family, and was domineering. How could he have imagined this day? The current situation is already a standard of riding a tiger. Unless there is an imperial edict from the emperor, or a prison robbery by force, otherwise he will be dead, even if he is
Even the governor can't save us."
"And the imperial envoy is also dead. If it is true, it should be because the river dam collapsed and several counties were flooded. Once this happens, even the King of Shu may not be able to save it, and the furious King Qi will definitely put him to death."
"It's a lose-lose situation."
High platform
Luo Peitie stared at Huang Liangping coldly with a livid face. The officials around him had complicated expressions. Behind Liu Zhan stood Zheng Yingci. Zheng Yingci did not stare at Huang Liangping, but looked at the calm lake in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
What to think about.
"Sir, the time has come." At this time, someone stepped forward to remind, and whispered: "I didn't notice anyone coming to rob the prison."
Luo Pei was very disappointed. If someone robs the prison and proves Huang Liangping's guilt, there will be no consequences for killing him. Now he has arranged it for nothing.
Luo Pei turned to look at Liu Zhan, and Liu Zhan said: "It's just the right time."
"Okay!" Luo Pei sneered and raised his voice to issue an order: "Prefect Huang Liangping was corrupt, perverted the law, was greedy for money and killed people, and was even more insane. He blew up the river dam. The evidence is conclusive. Not killing him is not enough to anger the people. I will use the flag of my life to
The order is issued, and the execution will be executed immediately!"
After giving the order, the executioner knelt down after pressing Huang Liangping down. The contents of Huang Liangping's mouth were also taken out at this time. This is a custom for the condemned prisoner to leave his last words before leaving.
As a result, as soon as Huang Liangping could speak, he immediately stiffened his neck and shouted at the high platform: "Luo Pei, you are a cruel and cruel official with evil intentions, butcher! You have broken the rules of officialdom and scholars. I will wait under the underworld."
Looking at you——wuwuwu..."
Later, I was blocked again.
"No matter how calm you are, you will still be afraid of dying." Su Ziji's eyes were sharp and he could see that although he tried to be calm and maintain his pre-death demeanor, Huang Liangping's legs were actually shaking.
This is actually the truth. No matter who it is, if it is a battlefield or an execution, it is said that no one will not shake their legs, even if they regard death as home, this is the instinct of life.
"Behead!" Luo Pei listened coldly and threw a token out.
Poof!
As the executioner raised the knife and lowered it, Huang Liangping's eyes were wide open, and a bloody head fell directly on the edge of the lake.
A stream of blood rushed out from the cavity and plunged into the lake. It was swept up by the waves and sank.
"Restrain it!" After really killing Huang Liangping, Luo Pei felt that his heart was empty, and a chill hit his heart. He waved his hand to save his life.
He had already broken the rules, and given a hundred more courages, Luo Pei would not dare to insult the corpse of the fifth-rank official. At that moment, the corpse was collected, and the ferocious-faced head belonging to Huang Liangping was placed on a table alone.
In front of the offering table.
Contrary to what most people think, the sacrifices for high-level sacrifices are actually very simple, including blood, wine, soup, cakes, etc.
This scene is really not a good one. Some people on the high platform have turned away, unable to bear to look at it. After all, with their status, it is easy for them to die.
Qiu Chang looked at the lake and couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart: "The fifth-grade magistrate died like chickens, ducks, pigs and cows."
Especially when placed together with the tributes, the beheaded Huang Liangping gave people the impression that he was not a so-called guilty criminal who was beheaded, but an animal.
Even Su Ziji, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but feel a little sad for the cruel Luo Pei.
Such a method is really cruel.
Huang Liangping is ruthless, but this person may not be ruthless, each has his own merits.
Huang Liangping was unlucky, being targeted by him, and meeting such an imperial envoy who didn't act according to common sense.
Just when Su Ziji was thinking this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong in the sky above Panlong Lake. The hovering clouds seemed to be suppressing them, and it looked dark and gloomy.
However, this did not attract the attention of the people. They were stunned by the scene just now, and some of the timid ones were frightened and left quickly.
But more people stopped where they were, whispering excitedly.
Many people have never seen such a scene, especially the killing of officials, except on the stage.
Su Ziji shook his head slightly, lowered his eyes, and saw half a piece of rosewood floating in his field of vision with a faint green light. A line of green words appeared on the manuscript: "The seed of revenge has been obtained and turned into a seed. Is it from the heart of a dragon?"
Dharma absorption (this move is irreversible)?"
Seed of revenge?
Su Ziji was a little unsure about what this thing was, but he was already familiar with upgrading, so he immediately clicked yes.
"The dragon's mind absorbs the seeds of revenge, and the literary mind and the carved dragon gain supernatural powers - [kissing through the gap]"
"Panlong Heart Technique Level 5, (215/5000)"
"[Panlong Heart Technique] is upgraded to 5 levels, Destiny 1, Destiny 4→5(1)!"
Su Ziji felt slightly dizzy and realized that he had been directly upgraded to level 5, and there was also a new value of destiny. When he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly felt a suction force.
"Ah?" When Su Ziji opened his eyes the next moment, he found that he was not standing away from the lake, but above the lake.
The deep lake surface was waving slightly under his feet. Without waiting for Su Ziji to react, the suction force pulled again, and the whole person sank directly.
