Chapter 85 Beheading
Night falls.
Every household in the city stayed behind closed doors.
Even night markets like Ping An Street are all closed, without the bright lights of the past.
Following the county magistrate's order, the whole city was put under curfew!
The huge county town became extremely quiet.
The cold wind howled through every street in the county, making doors and windows rattle.
The sound was so hellish, making this ominous night seem even darker and lonely.
Then Zhixing returned to the other courtyard, ate and took a bath as usual.
The thin dog also fell in love with bathing. He lay in the basin, soaked in warm water from his neck down, his head hanging on the edge, his eyes half-squinted, with an expression of enjoyment.
One person and one dog, at this time, they are calm and peaceful, without disturbing each other.
For a long while, Xigou looked at Fang Zhixing, who was in a daze, and suddenly heard a message: "What are you thinking about?"
Fang Zhixing responded: "I'm thinking about that Luo Qianqian."
Hearing this, Xigou immediately became energetic and said with a smile: "I knew it! I knew you were thinking about women as soon as I saw your wildly imaginative face! Humph, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were thinking about women. Where are the rebels?"
Fang Zhixing squinted and said, "Why do I want to rebel against the bandits?"
Xigou said seriously: "Don't you think that Yulan and Gao Daxing are very strong and talented?"
Fang Zhixing chuckled, looked at it with disdain, and sneered: "A bunch of trash who don't know their own abilities, what's the point of shouting slogans and doing little tricks? Have they changed anything? Because they resisted the powerful families, the common people can Have you eaten enough?"
The thin dog clicked his tongue: "Look at what you said, wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. They have suffered injustice, why can't they resist?"
Fang Zhixing sneered and said: "Tch, in two lifetimes, you and I have seen so many people who want to resist oppression! So what's the result? Don't all of them go to work on time and repay their loans on time?"
He analyzed carefully: “Everything must be done in a method-based manner, and one must also know how to hide one’s strength and bide one’s time, and assess the situation.
Look at Yu Lan and Gao Daxing. They assassinated Luo Peiyun without knowing exactly how powerful he was, which aroused Luo Peiyun's vigilance and violent counterattack, ultimately harming others and himself.
This group of people succeeds more than fails, and anyone who messes with them will be unlucky. Do they have the guts and integrity? Hum, people can feed their bones to dogs to completely cut off their descendants! "
Xigou was speechless for a moment.
Also, Fang Zhixing is not the kind of passionate person, and he will not be swayed by a few loud slogans.
He is so realistic!
His name is Zhi Xing, the unity of knowledge and action!
Understanding the principles of things and practicing them are inseparable.
There is action in knowing, and there is knowledge in action!
No matter how lofty your ideals are, you need to remember that everything should be down-to-earth and based on reality. Aiming too high will only make you stumble.
This is the way a person should behave in life.
He will only choose the camp that can win!
He doesn't like those fancy things.
This is why he took the risk and still joined Luo Peiyun.
Now it seems he was right.
Thinking of this, Xigou quickly brought the topic back and said with a smile: "Why, you have fallen in love with that stinky bitch Luo Qianqian and want to chase her?"
Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Do you really think I'm you? I can only think with my lower body."
"cut!"
The thin dog sneered: "Who spent the night in Hanxiang Tower last night? Who couldn't control his lower body last night?"
Fang Zhixing snorted: "Luo Qianqian did not misjudge you. You are just a white-eyed wolf and you are not well-raised."
"Nonsence!"
The thin dog stood up and shook himself.
Crash, water droplets scattered in all directions.
It splashed into the bathtub and onto Fang Zhixing's face.
Fang Zhixing waved his hand and drew water with the back of his hand, causing a wave of water to hit the thin dog and drenching him.
"rough!"
When the thin dog saw that he couldn't play well, he Zhixing. The good dog didn't suffer the immediate loss, so he quickly stopped fighting and lay down again.
But he was not convinced and continued to sneer: "Luo Qianqian is beautiful, has a good figure, her skin is breakable, and she must be very moist when playing. You have always been very discerning, so it is understandable that you can fall in love with her. "
Fang Zhixing raised his arm and said to himself: "Luo Qianqian inserted a few silver needles into Guo Hongying and Yulan's arms to make their arms extremely flexible. Don't you think it's amazing?"
Xigou couldn't help but think of the twist-shaped arms in his mind, and his expression couldn't help but become serious. He smacked his tongue and said, "That's right. That bitch does have a skill, it's like a black technology."
Fang Zhixing took it seriously and sighed: "The heritage of a wealthy family may be far beyond our imagination."
Xigou nodded, rarely arguing, and agreed: "Yeah, after all, they are the rulers of this world. They can dominate the whole world, and naturally they have unimaginable power."
At this point, Xigou suddenly trembled and suggested, "How about you hook up with Luo Qianqian and catch her, then you hug her lap and let her take you flying."
Fang Zhixing said speechlessly: "You mean, like you, as long as you meet a beautiful girl, you will hook up with them and play in the harem?"
"Isn't this bad?"
Xigou shouted seriously: "The more harems, the better. Men, if you love someone when you see them, they are not shabby."
Fang Zhixing sneered: "You call it path dependence. No matter what happens to you, your first thought is to flirt with girls, cast a wide net, and pick up one girl after another, thinking that you can solve all problems by just relying on girls. "
Xigou said confidently: "Is there any problem with this? If you get Luo Qianqian and take the path of a son-in-law, you can have whatever you want, and then quickly gather supplies, continue to upgrade, and become bigger and stronger!"
Fang Zhixing glared and said, "Are you blind? Who is that Luo Qianqian? Can't you tell? The reason why I value Luo Qianqian so much is not because I want to chase her, but because I think she is too dangerous. It's best to Don’t mess with it.”
Xigou said scornfully: "You are just a coward without courage. You dare not chase the rich woman even if she is so close. You deserve to be hunted down by a group of rebels."
Fang Zhixing retorted: "You deserve to be a dog in this life, no, you deserve to be a white-eyed wolf."
After one person and one dog took a bath, they were tired and lay down to sleep.
A dreamless night.
On the second day, the whole city was still under martial law and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Ding Zhigang led the government officials to arrest people everywhere.
Guo Hongying, Yulan, Gao Daxing, Xu Dali!
Their relatives, friends, and people they often come into contact with were all thrown into jail and interrogated severely.
For a time, the prison was overcrowded.
Those who were arrested all cried out that they were wronged.
At the same time, the news that Yulan and others were about to be executed spread like wildfire and spread.
Ding Zhigang and Wen Yudong were busy, and the county government was also busy. Everyone was exhausted and it was extremely lively.
Only Fang Zhixing is very leisurely and doesn't have to worry about anything.
Archer battalions can train on their own.
According to Fang Zhixing's previous design and arrangement, ten people from Huang Dashun served as captains and each led the team training. Gao Daxing has actually been left out.
To put it bluntly, Gao Daxing is just a supervisor. With him or without him, it is actually the same. Without him, we can still have fun.
In a flash it was three days later.
Caishikou!
At three o'clock in the morning, Fang Zhixing led 300 archers to the outside of the market.
Looking at it, the wet market has a triangular outline.
There are pavilions and tile-roofed houses on the two streets on the left and right.
According to Luo Peiyun's request, Fang Zhixing quickly split the three hundred archers into two teams.
"There are two hundred people in the first team, Huang Dashun, you will be the captain. There are one hundred people in the second team, follow me."
Fang Zhixing quickly counted the soldiers, pointed to the right, and ordered: "Huang Dashun, lead the team to occupy the house on the right street, clear out all the residents and vendors in the house, and then choose the best shooting angle. Once someone robs the execution ground, , obey my orders."
Huang Dashun looked serious and took a deep breath: "I obey my orders!"
Fang Zhixing beckoned again: "The rest of you come with me. We will occupy the house on the left."
"yes!"
A group of archers obeyed the order, broke into every house, whether it was a residence or a shop, and drove out all the people inside without explanation.
Soon, each archer selected a position, squatting in front of the window, or hiding behind the high wall.
Fang Zhixing hugged the thin dog, turned over deftly, and jumped to the roof easily.
Then, he looked around and quickly found a relatively spacious eaves where he could hide.
At the same time, a guillotine was quickly built at the vegetable market. Except for the front, the back and the left and right sides were all covered by canvas.
At first glance, the canvas is just a prop used to decorate the venue.
But Fang Zhixing knew the inside story.
Wen Yudong led the infantry and lurked behind the canvas.
Time passes little by little...
People in the city came one after another after hearing the news and crowded both sides of the street.
They were all in high spirits and talking a lot.
They came to watch the beheading!
Beheading is undoubtedly the most visually impactful program in this world without the Internet.
People rushed to watch it, either out of curiosity or just to watch the excitement.
Noon is almost here.
Just then, a commotion broke out in the crowd.
I saw Ding Zhigang and a group of government officials escorting Guo Hongying, Yulan, and Xu Dali across the street, heading straight to the vegetable market and the execution ground.
"This group of rebels is extremely vicious and will kill everyone they see. I heard they also like to eat people!"
"Yes, yes, did you see that fat woman? She killed Zhang Yuanwai's entire family, leaving no chickens or dogs behind. It was so cruel!"
"The rebels deserve to die, they deserve to be killed!"
"Alas, that Magnolia seems to be a poor person."
"Poor ass, she is just a bitch. How many men have she hooked up with and how many families have she ruined?"
"They all deserve to be killed!"
…
The whole world is noisy.
Guo Hongying and the other three looked dull, neither yelling nor struggling in any way.
The three of them had been tortured to the point where they had only half their lives left, and they had been starved for three days. How could they still have any strength and spirit?
After a while, Guo Hongying and the other three were carried to the guillotine like dead dogs.
After waiting for a while, the county magistrate Luo Peiyun, wearing an official robe and a black gauze hat, walked slowly behind a table and sat down.
Luo Kezhao stood beside him, holding a knife in his hand and looking murderous.
Luo Qianqian also appeared, sitting on the seat next to Luo Peiyun, looking slightly lazy, playing with her pigtails.
"The time has come to read out the charges!"
Luo Peiyun said lightly.
Immediately, Luo Kezhao stepped out, opened a scroll, and read it word for word.
"The criminal Guo Hongying participated in the massacre of Zhang Yuanwai's family in Yunshui Town..."
"The sinner Yulan, for her own selfish purposes, colluded with the rebels..."
"The sinner Xu Dali was tempted by money and was willing to be used by the rebels..."
The charges were laid out one by one.
After reading, the people were filled with indignation and cursed Guo Hongying and the three people as extremely abominable and unpardonable crimes.
The next moment, Luo Peiyun stood up, took out a lottery ticket from the lottery tube, and threw it on the ground.
"cut!"
The word spread!
On the guillotine, three shirtless executioners each poured a bowl of wine, took a big gulp, and then sprayed it towards the sword.
Fuchichi~~
The broadsword was stained with wine, and the wine slipped down the blade and dripped on the ground.
Then, the three executioners raised their swords in unison and aimed at the backs of Guo Hongying's and three other people's necks.
This situation...
Fang Zhixing scanned the crowd and every corner around him.
Huang Dashun and others had already taken their arrows, nocked their bows, and stretched out their bowstrings. They all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Ding Zhigang, Wen Yudong and others all looked cold and solemn, and subconsciously clenched their weapons.
Phew~
Phew~
Phew~
The big sword fell down, and the heads rolled!
Blood spilled everywhere!
The world was first in deathly silence, and then erupted into a roaring tsunami.
Reflected by the blood, the crowd cheered.
Luo Peiyun raised his eyes and looked around, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Then he smiled contemptuously and said: "Rebels and bandits are nothing more than that."
Ding Zhigang and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After this bloodbath, Qinglin County will surely usher in a period of peace.
Something happened here.
Fang Zhixing curled his lips, feeling bored, withdrawing his troops and dispersed.
In the afternoon, all curfews under martial law were lifted.
Life in the city quickly returned to normal.
Soon it's evening!
"Well, I'm so nervous today."
Ding Zhigang walked up to Fang Zhixing, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and sighed: "I thought a bloody battle would inevitably break out today, but I never thought that with the thunder and the rain, nothing would happen."
Fang Zhixing smiled and said: "The chess pieces that the rebels arranged in the city were taken away by the adults. They must have retreated in the face of difficulties."
Ding Zhigang took it seriously and nodded: "My lord, make a decision and then act. A mere rebel can't change the world."
Then he took Fang Zhixing's arm and shouted: "Let's go, Hanxiang Tower is reopening today, big brother will take you to listen to a little song."
Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "A Magnolia appeared in Hanxiang Tower. Hasn't it been banned yet?"
"Hey, how can it be banned?"
Ding Zhigang shook his head repeatedly, "The big boss behind Hanxiang Tower is Lu Anfu. He thought he was unlucky and paid a fine. Your Excellency has always had a good relationship with Lu Anfu, so he didn't embarrass him too much."
Only then did he realize that he had done something right, and immediately smiled and said: "I have nothing to do today, just listen to the music."
The two of them walked out of the Yamen with their arms around their backs, and rode out on horseback.
The sun gradually sets, and the bright red afterglow pours on the street, giving the bluestones on the ground and the tiles on the roof an infinite and rough edge.
Da da da~
Two tall horses came to Ping An Street.
Fang Zhixing looked up and saw that Hanxiang Tower had red lanterns hung up again, and it was bustling with traffic and bustling.
A few people still remember that there used to be a girl named Yulan leaning on the window and looking at Hanxiang Tower...
