Chapter 814 Beheading
Rong Wu gritted his teeth and was about to ask Xia Zihan to borrow it. Over there, the prison van came, and the people around him suddenly became uproar and cursed.
When the prison car came nearby, everyone was still holding rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, banana peels and other garbage in their hands, and threw it hard at the people in the prison car.
There were more than twenty people killed in total, all of them were the masterminds who had helped the tyrants with Zhang Wenzu for more than ten years. In addition to the Zhang family's in-laws, there were also two local families who had participated in the grain and seed trade.
These people are hated by the people the most.
Grain is the lifeblood of the people and their rations. However, people like Zhang Wenzu ignored the court regulations and resold the court's grain at high prices for money. Over the years, many people have been harmed because they can't afford it. They have no choice but to grow their own grain seeds, which leads to reduced production and even the family cannot have enough to eat.
The people's lives were miserable. The less they had enough to eat, the less they could afford to buy grain.
How many people starve to death in the northwest every year?
Also, in a major case handled by Zhang Wenzu, both the person who reported the case and the person who was accused were embezzled by him, leaving no penny left. Even his ancestral home was devoured by him in a frantic manner. In the end, , forcing the defendant’s family to wander on the streets, and The family who reported the crime was even more miserable. Dozens of members of the family, old and young, all jumped into the well and committed suicide. The bodies that fell halfway into the well were picked up one by one by the neighbors. At that time, the scene was huge, miserable, sad, and sad. , also shocked the entire people of Sun City.
Later, no one dared to go to the government office to complain.
When all these crimes, piles of evidence, and so many people were killed were announced, the people became angry, cursed, and filled with hatred. The people were most afraid of the officials. , but what I hate most are those corrupt officials who do not regard the people as human beings and specialize in bullying them.
As soon as the prison van appeared, the people went crazy and threw garbage on their bodies and heads. Within a few moments, the more than twenty prisoners in the prison van were in a state of wretchedness, and the stench was overwhelming. Even the prisoners who escorted them off the prison van were The officials were so smoked that they couldn't help but cover their noses.
After Zhang Wenzu was escorted to kneel in the center of the stage, he looked up in despair at the supervisor sitting in the row in front.
When his eyes touched the two familiar faces of Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan, his expression suddenly became excited, his eyes were split and filled with hatred.
Chu Jingqi looked disapproving, picked up the tea cup, gestured to Zhang Wenzu, and then took a few sips.
Zhang Wenzu was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The defeat of his Zhang family was all because of offending this man. If it hadn't been for him, how would his Zhang family have been defeated?
He shouldn't have offended him in the first place, and he should have apologized sincerely after Zhi'er offended him. Perhaps Chu Jingqi would be a righteous man and not care about him so much, and the Zhang family could escape this disaster.
But...
Alas, it was too late, the Zhang family was defeated, and not even a trace of blood was left to the Zhang family.
Zhang Wenzu looked at his son kneeling next to him, crying and regretful.
Zhang Zhi cried and said he didn't want to die, and asked his father to save him, but Zhang Wenzu couldn't save himself, so how could he save him.
He also wanted to save his son's life, but he couldn't.
At three quarters of noon, following Master Wang's order, the long and rough executioner raised his head and took a sip of strong wine, sprayed it on the blade of the broadsword, and then pulled out the name of the prisoner who was kneeling on the back of the first prisoner. With the number sign, he raised his sword high, and with a sharp shout, he slashed hard at the man's neck.
Princess Qinghui and Xia Zihan were both used to seeing bloody scenes of killing and stabbing people, so they didn't feel anything to be afraid of. Princess Mingzhu had also seen bloody scenes, but she was timid. When she saw the executioner raising his knife, she Biting her lip in fear, her heart trembling, she threw herself into Ao Tianchen's arms, not daring to look.
Rong Wu screamed in fear, his face turned pale, he covered his eyes with his hands and did not dare to look.
Because of her scream, the executioner almost cut her crookedly with his hand. However, because of that slap, he didn't use enough strength. With the first cut, he only cut off the neck bones, but the skin was still connected. The executioner secretly After cursing his luck, he slashed again, and his head fell to the ground. Blood sprayed all over the executioner. The executioner picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, sprayed it on the sword, and then walked towards the second prisoner...
When it was Zhang Zhi's turn, before the executioner took off the wooden sign from his back, Zhang Zhi fainted from fright, and there was a foul smell coming from his body.
The executioner looked at his pants and realized, this man was so frightened that he peed, how could he cut him?
Passing by Zhang Zhi, it was Zhang Wenzu's turn.
Zhang Wenzu was so frightened that he wanted to ask for mercy, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.
Who can he ask for mercy? This is the emperor's imperial edict. Who can disobey the emperor's edict for his sake?
Zhang Wenzu lowered his head and couldn't help crying, and kept saying that he regretted it.
I have been working as an executioner for more than ten years, and I have never seen any kind of prisoner. Some of them went crazy when they were about to be beheaded.
The moment Zhang Wenzu died, he turned his head and stared at his son who had fainted on the ground, feeling hatred in his heart.
The Zhang family was able to reach this point because his son was lawless and unscrupulously provoked Chu Jingqi and attracted Chu Jingqi's attention. Otherwise... this disaster would not have happened.
He hated his mother and his two brothers in his heart. Without their unlimited love for him, how could Zhang Zhi have grown to such a lawless level.
He hates his family.
And his two brothers also hated him extremely before they died.
"Old San, if it weren't for your ambition, we wouldn't have died."
This is what his two brothers said to him in the cell.
The Zhang family, the Si family, and several other families, with more than 20 people, took the executioner almost half an hour to kill them before he finally finished.
Rong Wu couldn't bear it anymore and fainted on the chair. She was helped away by her maid.
Princess Mingzhu kept her head buried in Ao Tianchen's arms, not daring to take a look. Ao Tianchen patted her back and whispered softly, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here with me." Join in the fun, okay. If you don’t dare to look, don’t look. We’ll leave in a moment.”
Although she didn't see it, Princess Mingzhu could still hear the popping sound when the head was chopped off. Her body would become stiff before she finished beheading a head. Ao Tianchen coaxed her for a long time before coaxing her back.
It wasn't until the head was chopped off, the body was taken away by the officials, and even the blood on the ground was cleaned up by the officials that Ao Tianchen picked her up and left with Chu Jingqi and the others.
"Why, sister-in-law is so scared that her legs are weak?" Princess Qinghui came over and asked with concern.
Princess Mingzhu sheepishly poked her little head out of Ao Tianchen's arms and said with a pale face, "Why aren't you afraid, Qinghui, I don't think your expression has changed at all."
