Suddenly a madman sharpens his knife at night

Chapter 49 The Queen of Autumn Asks and Beheads
  "What's wrong with people? It would be boring if they died in prison!"

In the back house of the yamen, a middle-aged man wearing dark red official uniform was sitting on the master's chair, the main seat of the room. He was holding a white porcelain tea bowl in his hand, using the lid to stir the tea leaves in the cup, and said slowly.

"Don't worry, sir. The person has been given medicine to stop the bleeding. That person is also a warrior. He won't die for a while!"

"Well, that's good. I heard that Mr. Qingchen from the Senluo Society will arrive in Ji'an tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Tomorrow is a good day. Let's interrogate and kill all these condemned criminals tomorrow! Let's take advantage of the good fortune of Mr. Qingchen!"

"As ordered!"

The sky was gray, overcast and cold.

The autumn rain was still falling quietly, and the fine rain strands weaved a gray curtain over Anyang City.

Viewed from a high altitude, the houses in the city look like gray toads, lying in the wet and muddy yellow mud soup, receiving the baptism of the autumn rain.

In the prison of Anyang Mansion, the damp mahogany pillars, the color of irritating pig blood, are in sharp contrast with the green osmanthus leaves under the wall.

"Damn it, it's so cold today!"

A policeman came back from outside holding a butter umbrella, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Under the eaves of the main entrance, I closed my umbrella and swung the water, stamped my feet, and shook the yellow mud off my boots.

An old jailer on duty at the gate laughed and said: "One layer of autumn rain and one layer of cold. Just the heavy rain last night, it will be at least three layers of cold!"

"Isn't that right? Old Suntou, is Mr. Zhao here?"

"He's sitting in the squad room!"

"Got it!"

The messenger entered the class room and took out the official official documents from the Yamen directly from his arms.

"Master Zhao, there is an order from the Yamen to kill this batch of death row criminals in advance at noon tomorrow. This is an official document!"

"Ahead of time? The so-called cool breeze arrives, the white dew falls, the cicadas chirp, the eagle is a sacrificial bird, and it is used to kill. The day of the Queen of Autumn's questioning is five days later, so if you ask and behead in advance, doesn't this break the rules?"

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, I'm just an errand boy. I'll deliver the official documents to you. I don't understand the rest. I'll resign!"

The messenger respectfully delivered the official document to the desk, then wiped the soles of his feet with oil and fled.

Master Zhao frowned, looking at the official document that had been stamped with a large seal, and rubbed his eyebrows with his hands.

"Tomorrow is the day when Young Master Qingchen of the Senluo Society takes office. I'll ask him tomorrow in advance. Is this a meeting gift for him? Alas, it's such an eventful time!"

Mr. Zhao sighed. Since the seal had been stamped there, he had nothing to say, so he had to take out the ink pen and write the names of the condemned prisoners one by one.

Sign and stamp immediately!

Among them, the word Lu Hu is among them.

"Somebody come!"

"grown ups!"

"At this time, I will ask about the execution list and arrange it. The execution will be carried out at noon tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

On the second floor of a restaurant in the city, in a private room by the window, several big men were sitting or standing, looking out the window anxiously, waiting.

Drizzle drifted in from the window from time to time, and the autumn rain brought chilly air. There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and they were all in a hurry.

"Have you seen big brother?"

A strong man asked angrily.

"no!"

A man with a mustache shook his head: "Don't worry, wait!"

"Are you not in a hurry? Big Brother came to the city a few days ago and said he had something to do. There has been no news for several days. Now, he suddenly sent a message asking us to go down the mountain and meet him in the city. You guys think that Big Brother won't fall into the hands of the government and come to catch us? Yes!" said a bald man with a scar on his head.

"Fuck you, brother, you are such a martial artist. Even if your whereabouts are exposed, you can't be beaten, and you can't run away. Just put your heart in my stomach and wait patiently!"

The big man didn't respond after being scolded, but the expressions of several people present became obviously nervous, and they all looked out the window to see if there was any unusual movement outside.

"boom!"

The wooden door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a man wearing a straw hat with a very low brim appeared outside the door.

The sudden movement startled several people inside, and their hands immediately stretched out into their arms.

When he saw the person coming, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother!"

"Hmph! Old Five, you said I was arrested by the government and turned you into a criminal?" "Uh, brother, I didn't mean that!"

"You said it clearly, what else could it mean?"

"Brother, you know that the fifth man is a rough man and has no brains."

"Humph!"

The man with the mustache smoothed things over, and the visitor snorted. Several people immediately stood up and gave up their seats, and the man sat down.

"Brother, this time you sent a message asking us to enter the city. What is it that you can't tell us in the letter?"

"The big deal is coming!"

At night, the thunder that had been blowing intermittently all day suddenly turned into thunder!

"boom!"

Thunder baptizes the world!

Dungeon, third level.

"Damn, this is so fucking weird!"

Two jailers walked side by side, one of them carrying a wooden tray with a coarse porcelain bowl containing decapitated rice.

"Tomorrow is a good day for you. After you eat your meal, you can go on the road tomorrow. Even if you have grievances, don't come to our brothers in the future. They are all poor people. They only have a small amount of food. Every wrongdoer and debtor have their owner. Everyone should pay for it. If you are in debt, you should be reincarnated."

The two jailers distributed it over and over again, chanting it over and over again.

This is also the rule of being a jailer, but I didn't say it at first and no one cared about it. I didn't bother to say it anymore until I came across the haunted incident in the city a few days ago.

Now they quickly picked up the rules, and the deprived rice that they used to fool around and use to make money and water finally became worthy of the name.

The two distributed it along the way.

"Strange, why is there an extra bowl?"

"Brother, you were not here this morning. Early this morning, a death row prisoner came in and was placed in the innermost room!"

"Huo, this brother came at the right time. He is very lucky. Come in today and behead him tomorrow. It will be clean and tidy, and you won't have to suffer!"

"you do not say!"

The two of them walked deeper into the dungeon while chatting.

Halfway through, "Boom!"

Another thunder exploded overhead.

A dark wind came from nowhere and blew out the candle in the other person's hand.

The jailer who served the meal was so shocked that he almost dropped the meal plate!
  "Fuck! Why are you becoming more and more evil today!"

As the two of them spoke, they saw the dark dungeon in front of them. For some reason, they seemed to hear gusts of wind floating in the depths.

Moreover, there was also a faint humming and low sound.

The two immediately thought of something bad.

"Hey, isn't there something dirty again?"

"Old Li, tell me."

Duanmupan's jailer didn't get a response for a long time. When he turned around, there was no trace of Lao Li around him.

After the candle in his hand was extinguished, the man's horrific memory was awakened, and he ran away amidst the thunder.

After this person saw it, he cursed loudly and did not dare to go in alone. Anyway, whoever likes to give it away!
  Just when he turned around to run.

Suddenly a deep hoarse voice came from inside.

"Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts here, just bring the food!"

As this sound appeared, the sound of wind and low humming disappeared instantly, as if it was the jailer's illusion.

When the jailer heard the prisoners inside talking, he became more courageous.

Carrying the meal, he walked to Lu Hu's cell.

The jailer saw a burly black figure lying on the ground in the darkness, and a strong smell of blood came from inside.

The jailer felt like there was a black tiger lying inside!
  Suddenly, Black Tiger opened his eyes, making the jailer feel that the darkness was illuminated, and a fierce aura rushed out from those eyes.

The jailer felt that the black tiger was about to rush out and eat him in one bite.

Then he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, and the wooden plate fell from his hand. He shouted, turned around and ran away!

Lu Hu grinned helplessly. Is he so scary now?
