Chapter 36 36. Noon has arrived!
The county magistrate gave Mo Hao full authority to handle the affairs of Partridge Village, and Mo Hao's idea was very simple and direct - to behead the captured thieves from Partridge Village and show them to the public.
Firstly, it was the fact that the people sitting in Partridge Village rebelled, and secondly, he came to be the executioner to improve his own energy and blood.
Given the opportunity, Mo Hao would never let go of any opportunity to increase his Qi and blood strength.
At the same time, his behavior was also intended to force the head of Partridge Village for the second time to see if he would show up.
The medicinal materials transported by Renxintang only forced out half of the troops of Partridge Village. It can be seen that the head of Partridge Village values him more and will never show up until his injuries are healed.
So what Mo Hao wants to target is the people's hearts in Partridge Village.
Mo Hao just wanted to see if your boss still wanted the people in Partridge Village.
Ordinary thieves can give up at will, but those armored horse bandits, can the boss give up?
Mo Hao gave a dilemma, asking the leader to think about whether to come to rob the execution site or continue to wait in the dark.
No matter which one the boss chooses, Mo Hao's side will not lose.
The news that the thieves in Partridge Village would be beheaded in public in three days began to spread, and it continued to spread.
Outside Hanyun County, a hidden corner.
In the darkness, a tall figure could be vaguely seen, and a pot of soup was boiling in front of him.
I just don’t know why, but there is a pungent smell of blood coming from the pot of soup.
"How's the information gathering going?"
It was difficult to see in the darkness, and only a few huddled figures could be vaguely seen, exuding an aura of great fear.
"The second boss was killed on the spot, and a dozen other brothers were arrested. The Yamen announced that they would behead the others in public three days later for treason."
The answering voice was so calm that there was almost no ups and downs of emotion, which was completely inconsistent with the figures huddled together, shaking and exuding fear.
"In three days, my medicine is almost ready."
"In exactly three days, go and pick up some brothers."
While speaking, the tall figure stretched out his palm, grabbed a handful of something and threw it directly into the pot.
The smell of blood in the darkness became even stronger.
"It's almost gone, it's almost gone. When the medicine is ready, there will be no more problems."
There was only one voice left in this place, muttering to himself.
…
A few days later, on the execution ground.
It is said to be an execution ground, but it is actually an open space near the city gate in the county.
Mo Hao leaned against the city wall, closed his eyes and calmly waited for the time to come.
There is also a specific time for beheading in the execution ground. It is usually done after autumn, and the time for beheading is fixed at noon.
The crime of treason will not be postponed until autumn, but the time period for beheading will not be specially changed.
Beside the execution ground, there were already more than a dozen corpses tied to the city gate and exposed to the sun.
Those were the horse bandits that Mo Hao and others had killed before. Their armor was stripped off, but their bodies were exposed to the sun for ten days under the order of the magistrate.
It doesn't matter if the corpse is exposed to the sun, but Mo Hao is worried about whether the hot weather will cause a plague if the corpse is not buried.
But considering that there are so many medical clinics and pharmacies in Hanyun County, and the obvious traces of manipulation on the body, this should be nothing to worry about.
There is not much time left before noon, and students from the three schools are also standing guard around with weapons in hand. There are a lot of people in the execution ground today.
This is an inevitable scene. In order to shock the people, beheading for such a serious crime as rebellion must be carried out in front of the people. At the same time, in some aspects, the public is also willing to watch this kind of beheading project.
In addition, some people believed that using steamed buns dipped in the blood of executed prisoners could cure illnesses, even more people gathered.
It was inevitable that after the news spread, the execution ground would become densely packed.
When there are more people, crowding and people who want to fish in troubled waters are unavoidable. Fortunately, the students from the three schools are able to cope with the civilians who have little force and are still qualified for this task.
Amidst the commotion, the time gradually came to the scheduled time, and a group of thieves were tied up and put on the execution ground. Even Mo Hao couldn't help but look at this scene a few more times.
After all, this is the first time that this kind of scene has appeared in front of me on a real level other than in TV series.
Even if he is the executioner.
It took a lot of effort for the magistrate to finish reading his speech. He read all about the crimes of horse bandits, but few people at the scene were interested in this.
I don’t know if it was the rule of giving prisoners a full meal before execution, which gave these prisoners some strength after being starved for several days. This strength was obviously not enough for them to break free from the rope and escape from the execution place.
Seeing that they could not escape, these thieves simply shouted at the top of their lungs "He will be a good man again after eighteen years", so as to save some face for themselves before dying.
But the method of execution that followed determined that they would not be spared any dignity.
"It's noon, execution!"
Following the magistrate's order, Mo Hao took out a stick, a solid stick made of iron as thick as a bowl.
There is no edge or any fancy decoration, it is just a completely solid and heavy stick.
It was also the execution tool chosen by Mo Hao.
Without any hesitation, Mo Hao smashed his stick down from top to bottom. As he swung the stick, it seemed as if a tiger roared, and the evil force was astonishing.
Ghost slaying!
If the iron rod and the head collide with each other, the former will definitely not fail.
The robber's head was immediately shattered, with red blood and white brains splattering everywhere. The headless body slowly fell forward, stirring up large amounts of dust.
silence.
The noise of the spectators and the slogans of the prisoners waiting to be executed to save themselves face were all shrouded in silence at this moment.
Beheading, these people may or may not have seen it before.
But directly smashing the person's head with an iron rod, this execution method has never been heard of, let alone seen.
This was the execution method that the magistrate and Mo Hao had discussed the night before yesterday. Since the charge of rebellion in Partridge Village had been confirmed, capital punishment was needed to deter him.
However, the magistrate himself did not expect that Mo Hao would use such a bloody method to shock him.
The magistrate, who had watched Mo Hao's brutal execution at close range, was not only filled with regret, but even turned blue.
If he hadn't been good at cultivating qi, he would have wanted to find a place to vomit it out right now.
Soon, all the executions of more than ten thieves were completed, and Mo Hao smashed their heads one by one with the iron rod in his hand, leaving not even the whole body for this group of people.
After dealing with the thieves, the only ones left were the horse bandits.
Their execution is another way.
Due to the county magistrate's request, Mo Hao spent a lot of time to come up with a way to scare others.
