The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 660 Execution Day

When Jiang Chuan came to the living room, Xiao Ran hurried forward to greet him.

"Thank you Mr. Mei." Xiao Ran looked at Jiang Chuan and said sincerely.

She had already visited her parents, and when she saw that everything was fine, she felt relieved and came over to thank her.

"It's a small effort, Miss Xiao, you don't need to be polite. Compared with Miss Xiao's life-saving grace, this is nothing." Jiang Chuan shook his head and smiled.

Tea was served, and the two of them sat down. Xiao Ran shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. The killer coerced and assassinated the young master, and he could not escape death afterwards. Therefore, you don’t have to be polite, young master, I just did what I should do."

Jiang Chuan was a little surprised, and took a deep look at the woman in red in front of him. He didn't expect her to be so frank and straightforward, which was a bit surprising.

"Although the girl is young, she has the demeanor of a general in her work. I admire you." Jiang Chuan said sincerely.

Xiao Ran smiled wryly: "What kind of demeanor is a general? It's just a homeless person living in the rivers and lakes. If I can choose, I also want to read and play every day, be free, and be a carefree person." My little daughter, why do you have to worry about whether you have three meals a day, and beware of those open and dark arrows that don't know where they are coming from.

It's just that since I was sensible, I have been living with my parents in the rivers and lakes, crossing states and government offices, and traveling all over the world. I am used to seeing the world's cruelty and sinister people. Now my only thought is to live a good life with my parents. "

Xiao Ran didn't know why, but in front of this young man in front of him, he actually had a strong desire to confide, and unconsciously expressed the sadness in his heart, as if he was a big brother who could be trusted very much.

You know, she has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years. Although she is young, she is used to seeing the viciousness in the world, but she has already stopped trusting others easily, and will remain vigilant when facing any outsiders.

Not to mention opening up to a man who only met once to tell the pain in his heart.

After she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, her face blushed, and she secretly blamed herself for being too casual.

Although Jiang Chuan was a little surprised in his heart, his face was still calm and he listened to her quietly.

Seeing her flustered and ashamed expression, she probably guessed what she was thinking at this time, and comforted her: "Girl, you don't have to blame yourself for a momentary slip of the tongue. Most people are alive, and they face all kinds of survival pressure every day when they open their eyes. It is inevitable that there will be all kinds of sorrow and pain in my heart. If these sorrows and sorrows have been smoldering in my heart and I don’t talk to others, after a long time, I will either be sad or hurt my body. It is a good thing that the girl is willing to speak out today, and it is also a trust in me. Blame yourself."

Xiao Ran was stunned, and then said with a grateful look on his face: "Thank you for your comfort, my lord."

Although Jiang Chuan was curious about the identity of their family, he didn't take the opportunity to ask.After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran said goodbye and left.

…………

The three days passed quickly, and the fact that the magistrate was arrested and about to be beheaded in the city quickly fermented, and the people in the city knew about it. On this day, many people came to watch the excitement.

The execution ground was set at Caishikou, a holy place where murderers and beheaders have been murdered and beheaded in the past dynasties. A high platform was set up in the middle, and the execution posts and guillotines were already set up on it.

The inner circle of the execution ground was surrounded by a group of government officials with knives on their waists, and the outer circle was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers with muskets on their backs, preventing the crowd of spectators.

After hearing the news, the people who came to see the excitement had already filled the surroundings of the execution ground, and the noise was abnormal.

Sitting on the monitoring platform opposite was a fourth-rank official in a purple robe, who was transferred from Jinan City by Jiang Chuan.

In this kind of matter, the black ice platform is not suitable for showing up. In order to perform a full set of plays, Jiang Chuan transferred a fourth-rank civil official from Jinan to supervise the execution.

According to the local official positions of Ming Dynasty at this time, the highest chief executive of each province was the chief envoy, who coordinated the province's government affairs.In addition, the yamen of the procuratorial envoy was set up to be in charge of judicial and criminal laws, and the chief official was the procuratorial envoy.

In addition, there is also the Commander’s Yamen. The chief officer is the Commander, who manages the local garrisons. For example, the guards in various places are managed by the Commander’s Yamen.

Of course, under Jiang Chuan's reform, although the Commander's Yamen has not been officially abolished, he has basically lost command of the local garrison, and all the local garrison has been handed over to the theater.

If the local yamen has a request to suppress bandits, it will contact the theater through the commanding yamen, and then the theater will send troops to cooperate with the local government to suppress the bandits.

Basically, the Commander's Yamen has been reduced to a liaison department between a local Yamen and the war zone.

But this time the prefect's yamen in Jining was corrupted in a corrupt manner. The magistrate was pretended to be for three years.

This shocking case made Qingzhou chief envoy and procuratorate envoys tremble with fear and break out in cold sweat.

The most important thing is that this case was still investigated by Heibingtai. Although Jiang Chuan's identity has not been revealed yet, everyone knows that such a big case must not be concealed.

All the first and second leaders of a magistrate's yamen have been taken down. If they are strictly investigated, they will not be able to escape their responsibility.

Not to mention anything else, one crime of negligence is enough to remove the black hat from their heads.

Thinking about the regent Prince Regent who murdered without count, they might lose their lives.

Therefore, when they received a contact letter from the Black Ice Station, requesting to send a supervisor to Jeju City, the chief envoy and the procuratorial envoy, both of whom wished to come here in person, so as to lessen their guilt.

But in the end, they still didn't dare to leave Jinan easily, for fear that Jiang Chuan would ask them about the crime of desertion without authorization, so they finally took a sentence and ordered the deputy procurator to come over and supervise the beheading.

At this time, a prisoner wearing a black hood and prison clothes was escorted to the guillotine by two soldiers, with a sign reading "Prisoner Wang Ke" stuck on his neck.

The prisoner, with his head bowed and disheveled, was tied to the execution stake.

Behind them are two executioners with protruding breasts, wearing red clothes, and holding ghostly swords with indifferent faces.

When the prisoner was escorted over, the surrounding people boiled up, many people cursed loudly, and some people started throwing rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, rotten fruits and the like on the prisoner.

Although the soldiers tried their best to stop them, when they got to the guillotine, the prisoner was already in a mess, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his hair was stained with a lot of stinky egg liquid.

The prisoner didn't say a word, just lowered his head, as if he didn't realize it.
