Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 681 Heroes
The drizzle was hazy.

Prince Chengqian looked at the crowd like mountains and seas, and suddenly became nervous, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, beating violently as if about to jump out of his chest.Throat tightness, thirst.

"Report, the death row prisoner's term of office is over, and the body is verified."

The jailer of the Jingzhao Mansion sang loudly. Beside him was a death row prisoner with disheveled hair and tied hair. Although his face was covered with dirt, he looked young. He was in his twenties. Wooden sign, awaiting execution.

There is no need for a level-by-level trial in the Jingzhao government's judgment, and the judgment can be executed after the judgment.

But this time, the punishment was severe, so the Jingzhao Mansion directly sentenced these people to beheaded, without waiting until after the fall, let alone being reviewed by Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment.

Sitting next to Cheng Qian, Qin Lang said softly, "If Your Highness is unwell, I can let the minister give the order."

Cheng Qian smiled wryly with a stiff expression, "It's okay." The voice came out, only to feel that the voice had changed due to being too nervous.He stretched out his hand and pulled out a bamboo stick from the wooden stick holder in front of him.

This is a stick that ends the life of a prisoner on death row. The stick is like a sword, and it has already turned dark red, as if it has been stained with the blood of many prisoners on death row.

Holding the stick in his hand, it seemed to become very heavy.

Cheng Qian gritted his teeth and threw the stick out.

"cut!"

He watched the signature draw an arc in the air, and yelled suddenly, which was very sharp.Before the sound fell, the sword fell to the ground.

The executioner who had been waiting for a long time immediately raised the ghost head sword, raised the sword with one hand, and picked up a bowl of wine with the other, took a sip and put it in his mouth, then turned his head and sprayed fiercely at the sword.

The big knife was covered with wine.

The executioner put down the wine bowl, changed to holding a knife with both hands, raised it high above his head, and swung it down at Ren Man who had been pressed on the wooden pier.

The heavy ghost-headed broadsword fell with the sound of wind and alcohol. The sharp blade easily cut through the flesh and blood, cut off the neck, cut it in two, and separated the corpse.

In front of the execution platform, countless onlookers exclaimed, and some people applauded.

Cheng Qian watched Ren Man rolling his unwilling head on the ground a few steps, and the headless cavity sprayed out bright red blood, he was a little dazed, and his mind was a little blank.

At this moment, he finally understood why his father insisted on coming and beheading him in person.

These people are sentenced to death by him, and he has to be responsible.

As the crown prince, and in the future as the emperor, one word can decide the life and death of hundreds of millions of people in the world, so every order must be cautious and careful.

A person cannot be recovered after death, and a severed head cannot be reattached.

The people below were still cheering, and some death row prisoners waiting for execution screamed in horror.

Even the full-term family members were crying loudly on the sidelines.

"Your Highness?" Qin Lang called softly.

"Oh, I'm fine."

Cheng Qian let out a long sigh, and looked away from the eyes of the unwilling leader.

On the execution platform, some officials immediately stepped forward, dragged the head and the corpse away, and washed down a basin of water, the blood was washed away, and a life was ended.

"You deserve what you deserve, Your Highness need not be uneasy."

Ren Man, as the leader of a gang of bandits, especially dared to openly use the organization of the official army, privately appointed the leader of the bandits under the imperial court as a military officer, robbed and killed many times, which was already enough to kill a hundred times.Although he was still very young, he could not escape death.

"Gu just suddenly felt that Ren Man was very young, and I heard that he was also very brave. If he could be given a chance, he might be able to reform himself."

"Your Highness is merciful and has the virtue of living well. However, the laws of the country cannot be trampled upon. He is no longer an ordinary criminal. He has committed dozens of serious crimes by himself. Otherwise, it is not enough to uphold the majesty of the laws of the country. This is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao. It’s not that the imperial court never gave these people a chance, but they don’t cherish it, and there’s nothing more to blame than death.”

An official handed over a certificate of execution, Qin Lang wrote his name on it, and the crown prince also took up a pen to sign.

More than 800 death row inmates awaiting beheading had already posted notices three days ago, listing their crimes one by one, so the execution of these people is not in dispute, even for many sufferers who have been harmed by them , is delightful.

Even the other Chang'an citizens clapped their hands and applauded when they saw this situation. The rapid development of Chang'an in recent years will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the public security situation.

Next, Cheng Qian sat on the execution platform, throwing signatures and signatures with no expression on his face.

One after another, death row prisoners were brought to the scaffold to be executed.

After killing those death row prisoners with the worst reputation, they will start to kill them in batches, ten people at a time, and execute them together.

Heads rolled and blood flew everywhere.

After a full hour, the execution was over.

The entire execution ground was filled with blood, and many people vomited.

Cheng Qian's face was also pale, watching one after another living people being executed in front of him, the scene was really shocking.

The execution is over.

A servant in the Eastern Palace immediately brought a copper plate filled with clear water and peach tree branches and leaves. It is said that this is a tradition. After seeing blood in the execution, wash your hands with peach leaf water, which can remove bad luck and prevent dead ghosts from coming through the blood.

Qin Lang didn't believe this, but he still washed his hands.

Looking up and looking into the distance, today the crown prince supervised the beheading, and the Luben Army naturally took on the role of guards. In addition, the Jinwu Guard also sent additional manpower to maintain law and order on the streets of the city gate, but the emperor still dispatched a lot of forbidden troops to come, A hundred officials were sent to watch the execution.

Behind the hundreds of officials, there are many disciples of honored relatives. Qin Lang knows very well that these are the rangers who are active in Chang'an. The emperor has personally taken action against these little tigers these days. The sons of the famous family either took away the three guards, or dismissed the honorary officials, or drove them out of the Guozijian, and all of them were sent to the frontier army in the west of Liaoxi and Longxi to guard. It can be regarded as a stern warning.

Before these people left Beijing, they were all asked to come with their father and brother to watch the torture today, which can be regarded as killing chickens for monkeys to watch.

And Liu Shuyi, the great hero of Lu Guogong in Chang'an, has been relatively high-profile in the past few years, and there are too many descendants of Xunqi, Wuling Haoshao, etc., and the club is too big. Although they mainly make friends and show off their glory, they have more people. It is inevitable that there will be many rascals and idlers attached to him, and they will even run amok under his banner.

This time Li Shimin pursued Liu Shuyi and his brothers, and finally convicted several major crimes. Later, thinking about his father Liu Wenjing's status as a hero in the founding of the country, and understanding that their father was wrongly killed in the early years, this time he was punished lightly. Originally, Liu Shuyi was the princess of the Supreme Emperor. , but now the marriage is cancelled.

The officials and titles were cut off, demoted to common people, and ordered to return to their hometown of martial arts to live in self-examination.

"The rain has stopped and the clouds have collected. Today is a good day."

Cheng Qian was a little absent-minded, and killed more than 800 people in one go, and he ordered the killings, which really shocked the 13-year-old prince.

"Escort His Highness the Crown Prince back to the East Palace!" Qin Lang said to Su Dingfang, the left guard, and Li Ke, the right guard.

These two are now the commanders-in-chief of the Donggong army, Su Dingfang has Qin Lang's support, and Li Keshi is Li Jing's younger brother.

"Teacher isn't going back to the East Palace?"

Qin Lang smiled at Cheng Qian, "I still have to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion in Guangde Square to deal with the aftermath."

Cheng Qian nodded, "Since these people have been punished, don't pursue them any further. Don't embarrass their families, let their families collect the corpses and go back for burial."

"The prince is kind, the minister will take care of the funeral."

Chengqian returned to the East Palace under the escort of Su Dingfang and Li Keshi, while Qin Lang went to the nearby Jingzhao Yamen in Guangdefang, where Qin Lang met Liu Shuyi and Liu Shuyi brothers.

"Let's say goodbye today, I don't know if we will see you again someday." Liu Shuyi looked lonely, who would have thought that after only a few years, there would be a big change in the end.Back then, his father was framed and murdered by Pei Jijin, and their brothers served their mother and sisters through the most difficult days for several years.With the change of Xuanwu Gate, the king of Qin became the prince and then the emperor, and the brothers finally turned around.

Liu Wenjing's case was overturned, and Liu Shuyi succeeded his father, Lord Lu Guogong, and married the eldest princess.

In the past few years, the two brothers have called the wind and rain in Chang'an, and they have been the heroes of Chang'an. They are very popular. The two brothers have no intention of official career, but through their relationship with Qin Lang, they are also making money day by day, and their family wealth is skyrocketing.

"You have only encountered the limelight, and you have been implicated by some criminals below. You have only been at ease in your hometown for a few years, and you will be fine once the limelight passes."

Liu Shuyi and his brothers were just deprived of their ranks and became commoners, but the wealth that the Liu family had earned in the past few years remained unchanged. With this money alone, they were able to live a decent life.

"You don't have to worry about the officials making things difficult after you return to your hometown. I will send a letter to the governor of Yongzhou."

"Thank you, Sanlang." Liu Shuyi stepped forward to hug Qin Lang. In the past few years, Liu Shuyi has become a hero of Chang'an, calling the wind and rain in the capital, not only because he inherited the title of Liu Wenjing.It's not because he favored the emperor's princess.

The key is his close relationship with Qin Lang. At first, Qin Lang helped him up as the governor. Although he left the governor later, Liu Jiulin, Wei Chang and others have been in the governor and helped him a lot.In addition, the relationship with Qin Lang has always been good, so it is natural to get along well in the capital.

"Studying at home and practicing martial arts is fine, so feel at ease. Our previous cooperation will continue." Qin Lang patted the man who was supposed to be his uncle.

"I knew that Saburo was righteous. Our two brothers left, and there will be a period later."

After completing some formalities at the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion sent several officials to send Liu Shuyi and his brothers back to their hometown of martial arts in Yongzhou.

Something happened to the two brothers, but Qin Lang still covered it up. He neither took the rich family wealth that the two brothers had accumulated in the past few years, nor let others rob it. He had already spoken out, and no one dared to touch the Liu family. brothers.

"Sanlang, these two brothers really don't live up to expectations. They have been fooling around for a few years, and to this point, why doesn't Sanlang insist on standing up for them?"

"After all, friends."

"But these two brothers have been together in Chang'an for a few years, and they have a lot of gangster spirit. Judging from their appearance, they seem to have resentment against the saint's punishment. Saburo should be careful not to be implicated by them." Zhang Chao persuaded.

Qin Lang just chuckled, "Brothers Liu Shuyi helped me a lot back then."
