Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 9 Chang'an. .twelve o'clock
Well, it’s just like the big scene described in the sketch of the Spring Festival Gala of a certain year: “Huge crowds, noisy flags and drums”; [-]% of the countless crowds occupy most of the field of vision, and some even climbed onto the trees, or sat on the ground. on the edge of the house

Among the countless people's heads gurgling, there is a solitary willow with a tilted head and sparse leaves. On the mound behind the solitary willow, there is a quaint building. There are three big characters "Prison God Temple" written on it.

And a wooden high platform in front of the temple has been built, and several people who look like animals are cut backwards and kneel on it.Jiang Tian couldn't help being clever, he actually went to the execution platform to beheaded, such an exciting thing was about to happen in front of him;

However, Jiang Tian quickly forced himself to calm down; he was staying in Taiwan Prison instead of the Xingbu Prison to be sentenced after autumn, or the Heavenly Prison where executions can only be carried out by the prime minister or above.The vast majority of people locked inside would never be able to commit the death crime of beheading, and I am afraid that they are specially used to accompany the beheading.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tian's urge to urinate between his legs disappeared, and it became a little more interesting.As the saying goes, since you can't resist, then try to enjoy it.

You must know that under normal circumstances, even if you are not really forced to play, most people will be so scared that they will piss their ass, have incontinence, etc., and then it will be better to go back.It turns out that these days of calm, it should finally be here.

Then, Jiang Tian found that he had been specially lifted out, and he pushed hard and had to walk onto the execution platform.However, this is Chi Guoguo's malicious and targeted humiliation.At the same time, a green-robed official and a blue-robed official in charge of supervising the beheading looked at each other and frowned, but pressed down again and did not speak.

"Brother Ma, I can only do this one step..."

However, in another corner, the black-shirted jailer with a dead face had a helpless expression at the moment, and said to another bad guy with a look of hatred on his face.However, this bad guy who wore a Chang'an County badge on his waist said with gritted teeth:

"That's enough. Brothers Paoze from more than a dozen neighborhoods in the surrounding area have all been sent to Jinwu Academy and Wu Desi for interrogation and questioning just because of this fellow's slanderous method of yelling a few words in the street. They women, children, wives and children came to cry and beg and ask me, don't they know that is hateful...

Between the words, the first prisoner on death row on the stage was already struggling desperately and was held down by his arm, and amidst the sound of the tsunami coming down the stage, he swung his head down with a knife and spurted blood like an arrow, and threw his head away for a long distance. Only then did it stop at the edge of the high platform.

In an instant, among the remaining prisoners on death row, there was already a windward and stench coming towards them; and Jiang Tian, ​​who was pulled to the side and squatted alone, stood up suddenly at the moment when the crowd's voice fell, and exhausted his strength. With great strength, he suddenly shouted out the well-known "Generous Chapter" in later generations:

"Song Yan City generously, and be a prisoner of Chu calmly.

Lead the knife into a fast, live up to the young head.

Keep the heart and soul, and pay the ashes for the remnant body.

The green phosphorescence is immortal, illuminating Yantai every night. "

In an instant, all kinds of people watching were stunned for a moment in the inexplicable silence, and then they shouted loudly and joyously, as if a wave suddenly bottomed out, or as if they wanted to drop a large piece of ice in the boiling oil. stand up:

"Good poem..."

"Excellent..."

"Can you be a righteous man..."

Then, among the bewildered expressions of the Kuaishoumen and the officials who were in charge of execution on the high platform, and the surrounding figures, Jiang Tian continued to shout out another famous line "Inscription on the Wall in Prison":
"Wangmen stays only thinking of Zhang Jian, endures death and waits for Dugan;
I smiled to the sky from the horizontal knife, and kept my heart and gall in Kunlun. "

At this time, the roaring shouts around have become one, fearing that the world will not be chaotic and the crowd will be chaotic, and they come from all directions:

"What an impassioned man..."

"One More Song"

"Do one more article"

At this moment, Jiang Tian only felt a little happy. Jiang Tian, ​​who was inexplicably happy, also recited the third song "Lime Yin" loudly before the subordinates pressed him again.

"Thousands of hammers are struck out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns like nothing.

Don't be afraid of being smashed to pieces, but keep your innocence in the world. "

"The people in Wannian County are too outrageous to do things..."

Under the pergola, secretly complaining about Zhang Yin, the judge of Dali Temple, just drank a sip of tea out of boredom; then saw the surrounding scholars and common people, suddenly shouting and singing something excitedly.

"Stop, don't kill...can't kill any more..."

However, when he finally heard what they were yelling clearly, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea, knocked down the utensils on the case, stood up and shouted to Zuo Lian.

"And why is that...it's just a few that have already been decided..."

Sun Miao, the magistrate of the imperial hospital who was accompanying the prison guard with white beard and hair, couldn't help being surprised.

"Didn't you hear that this is Zhang Jian's and Dugan's again... If you really want to kill him, you and I are really the minions of the country, the party, and the treacherous..."

Zhang Yin, the judge of Dali Temple, shouted to him angrily, no matter how knowledgeable he was, he would not be ignorant of who these two were.

(Zhang Jian, a symbolic figure of the Danggu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, impeached the eunuch Hou Lan in the book "Ji Zou Zhong Chang Shi Hou Lan's Crime and Provocation" in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty. He was falsely accused of "forming a party" and was forced to flee. The people who lodged here are not afraid of getting involved and are willing to receive them.)
(Du Gen, courtesy name Bojian, is from Dingling, Yingchuan. He bluntly said that the Empress Dowager Deng during the Hexi period should return to the government of Emperor An; as a result, he was bagged and beaten to death by the upper hall. As a result, the executioner admired and kept his hand, so Du Gen pretended to be dead For three days, until maggots grew in the eyes, he was able to escape.)
At the same time, on the nearby restaurant, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe who had just noticed the news muttered to himself with an extremely strange and surprised expression:

"When Zhang Tai came out here, how could he make such a fuss on the spot? After all, it was an old criminal name that has been passed down for many years. How could he let the prisoner make his farewell words on the spot... and let the people sing it on the spot..."

Then, he couldn't help admiring again.

"How can a person with such talent and courage in poetry be sent to the execution ground so easily!"

"In addition, 'Leave innocence in the world'. Isn't this the way of the court to know people and kill Zhongliang in Jingbian, Shuowen, and Baixi operas? It looks like..."

There are also younger companions with similar appearance beside him, full of schadenfreude and said with a sneer

"Dali Temple is afraid that this time it will inexplicably bear a notoriety that flew out of thin air..."

As if to confirm his words, many people dressed as scholars in the street downstairs rushed over as if they had discovered something new, and pushed into the crowd to inquire and ask loudly, and then Those who became more and more curious and surprised took out posters and copied them around to spread the word.

"Li Siyuan, an extravagant bastard, dares to send someone up to harm me. I don't know, is it easy to follow someone who can write such a heroic poem?"

At this moment, Zhang Yin, the judge of Dali Temple, who is still sitting on pins and needles, also shouted madly to the left and right.

"Quickly appease the man and send him away, and the other criminals will immediately fight back; just say it's me, otherwise if it's too late, I'll become the biggest laughing stock and topic in the capital without having to live past tomorrow."

Then someone rushed over and whispered a few words before he turned angry and said:
"Sure enough, it's not easy. The owner of the anti-thief case in Shangyuan was brought over by six yamen that day; in addition, I personally participated in the overnight torture and trial of the case that was seized in the south of the city. . "

At the same time, in the monogram room of the prison, Guo Chongtao, who came a step late and was suddenly frantic, roared to the jailers and jailers gathered in the prison:
"Human, where did you get him... With such a serious matter, let alone losing his job, I'm afraid he will die without knowing how to die..."

"Mr. Xiantai, I don't understand this. Just one person commits the crime... Why do you need to work on your precious toe, why don't you ask for a copy first..."

However, Li Siyuan, who was sick at home as the supervisor, and the deputy supervisor on duty was already sweating profusely, still wanted to hold on to redeem and justify one or two.

Then there were a lot of running noises outside the door, and then a doorman with a panicked face ran in from the outside, shouting eagerly:
"It's not good, there are people from Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion who personally escorted the prison car back. We need an explanation."

"It was actually hit by the Lord, this Guo Lixing is really unreliable, and it doesn't matter..."

And outside the gate of the prison, the scar-faced old servant also explained to his subordinates with a serious face:
"In a moment of negligence, I almost let someone with ulterior motives harm my benefactor. You must keep an eye on me. If there is any situation in the future, you will report directly to the door..."

"My lord has made it very clear, no matter what the man committed, please, how the court handles it is the law of the country; but the family must not be held accountable for its kindness."
