On April 7, four days after the state banquet, the execution ground of Sansi Yamen outside the Wu'men of the Emperor's Imperial City in Xuanyuan Hill...
Wearing handcuffs and shackles, Fang Keyan, who had just been escorted out of the black prison car by several officers from the Tingwei Mansion, was stabbed by the sunlight outside. He couldn't help but close his eyes, raised his hands, and covered his eyes. On the forehead.
But at the same time as he closed his eyes, Fang Keyan heard a tsunami-like roar in his ears.
"kill him… "
"kill him… "
"Beat this lackey of the Tongtian Sect to death..."
"Kill this bastard!"
Amidst the roaring sound like a tsunami, Fang Keyan felt a pain in his forehead, and was instantly hit in the head by a rotten chicken egg. Among the broken chicken egg shells and chicken eggs The spoiled egg yolk and protein splashed all over Fang Keyan's face in an instant, leaving him with a foul and fishy stench, making him extremely embarrassed.
Fang Keyan turned around and saw that the person who was throwing him was a seven or eight-year-old child. The child was glaring at him without fear. When he saw Fang Keyan turning his head, he then picked up the second smelly stick on his hand. The chicken eggs were thrown towards Fang Keyan.
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard..."
"kill him!"
The people surrounding the execution place all looked at him with anger, contempt and hatred.
On the day of the Xuanyuan Hill Wangri Incident, Han Zhengfang's party and his accomplices were struggling to death in Xuanyuan Hill. In order to create chaos and escape from Xuanyuan Hill, members of the Tongtian Sect killed people and set fires everywhere. The people of Xuanyuan Hill were deeply affected. As a result, the people of Xuanyuan Qiu also hated the Tongtian Sect very much. Knowing that they would kill the "remnants" of Han Zhengfang's party here today, the people watching around were eager to eat their flesh and sleep on their skins. Where could they go? Will be polite to him.
At the same time, at the same time, Fang Keyan's body was also hit by more dirt. Broken shoe soles, rotten vegetable roots, and even hard **** were also wrapped in paper. Fang Keyan was hit by Yan's body.
If he hadn't been dragged away by a few policemen from Tingwei Mansion, and if Tingwei Mansion hadn't banned people from throwing stones on such occasions, for fear of being stoned to death, it would be difficult to understand the canon punishment, and it would be difficult to verify the person's identity after the stone was broken. After getting off the car and walking a few hundred steps to the execution ground, Fang Keyan was about to be beaten to death by the angry crowd surrounding him.
Seeing the execution ground, Fang Ke's face changed horribly and his whole body trembled. A few days ago, how could Shangshu Zuo Pu She, who had been a guest at the state banquet of Taixia Anyan Hall, imagine that his fate had already changed in just a few days? After turning around, he was about to meet the end of his life at the Meridian Gate execution ground.
In the past, as an official in the imperial city, he went to various states. Wherever he went, the governors and governors of each state cheered and supported him. Even the governor would give him two portions of thin noodles.
But now, he is a prisoner on the verge of death. He has been stripped of his official uniform and official hat, and is now wearing a prison uniform. Wherever he goes, he is criticized by thousands of people and hated by thousands of people. Even children as young as seven or eight years old want to put him in harm's way. Death place.
This is one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.
"I want to see Mr. Tingwei. I was wronged. I want to see Mr. Yu and His Highness the Crown Prince..." Fang Keyan, who was in a state of embarrassment, was still shouting and struggling, but his shouts were like a tsunami that caused the mountains around him to collapse. " The cries of "beat him to death" and "beat this bastard to death" were as inaudible as the fluttering of flies' wings.
"General Mu Shen single-handedly saved hundreds of millions of people in the demon camp on the edge of the Wei River. He even single-handedly killed the demon army with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He also fed the people in the war zone and made the war zone full. The soldiers can have sharp weapons to kill demons. A few of us work as humble servants and don't read much. We also know that General Mu Shen is a hero of Taixia. We have been drinking in the restaurant these days. Even the restaurant said " The storyteller of "The Legend of the Black Iron Hero" also said that General Mu Shen was the mainstay of the Taixia Chinese clan, he was upright, benevolent and majestic. Because of General Mu Shen, the demons never attacked the Weishui River. You, a dog official, have sharp teeth. You are so sharp-tongued that you actually want to frame General Mu Shen and defend the Demon Clan and the Tongtian Sect. Your conscience has been eaten by dogs. You are wronged. I bah..."
A forty-year-old Tingwei Mansion officer who was escorting Fang Keyan looked at Fang Keyan with contempt and said, seeing Fang Keyan struggling and shouting that he did not want to go to the execution ground, several officers looked at each other, that The policeman who spoke winked, and the two policemen behind Fang Keyan picked up the iron-clad bars in their hands and hit Fang Keyan's calf hard.
Several servants of the Tingwei Mansion were all veterans. This moment was heartbreaking. The bones of Fang Keyan's two lower legs were instantly broken. In the sudden and severe pain, Fang Keyan, who had always been pampered, Keyan howled miserably and fainted instantly. Several policemen dragged Fang Keyan directly to the execution ground.
When Fang Keyan woke up from his brief coma, he was already on the execution platform, unable to move his head and hands. A man wearing a vermilion official uniform was asking others to use water The rain fell on Fang Keyan's face, waking him up.
Seeing Fang Keyan wake up, the man took a wine bottle next to him, poured a glass of wine, bent down, and raised it to Fang Keyan's lips.
"Master Fang, after drinking this glass of wine, let's hit the road..."
Seeing this man's face, Fang Keyan's chaotic eyes suddenly brightened up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, making a final struggle, "Master Xiang, Master Xiang, look at the moment we met. For the sake of the court, let me meet Mr. Yu and His Highness the Crown Prince. I was wronged. You know I was wronged..."
"Civil officials are used to govern the world, and military generals are used in times of chaos. Don't you understand this truth, Mr. Fang?" The official wearing a vermilion official uniform sighed, "At this time, we are in high positions and have already Far more than the ordinary governor, who eats the king's salary and uses the country's salary. On the hill of Xuanyuan, he should work conscientiously, keep his own integrity and be loyal to the country. General Mu Shen is a gentleman. Mr. Fang is showing off his words in the Anyan Palace. He actually wants to It is stupid to deceive the other side, and to embarrass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which will also be very detrimental to the country. Do you know that it is a holy war now, and people like you and me, although we do not have the power to tie a chicken, but if On the battlefield, it is not as useful as an ordinary captain. Even if there are a million of you and me tied together, in the eyes of the people in the world, it is not as good as one finger of General Mu Shen. You and I can't go into battle to kill the enemy. That's all, but you actually attacked General Mu Shen. You are simply blinding yourself and seeking death. If you are wronged, wouldn't everyone in the world become fools, and people's hearts cannot be deceived... "
Fang Keyan burst into tears and looked like he was crazy, "I know I was wrong... I know I was wrong... I want to see His Royal Highness... I can bear the burden of apology..."
"If Su Qianling were here at this moment, I would probably be glad that his impeachment memorial was handed out a few years ago. At that time, General Mu Shen was still not well-known, and the demons had not invaded Taixia. If he had handed it out at this time , Master Fang is definitely not the only one who wants to beheaded today..." Wearing a vermilion official uniform, he said calmly, "It's time, Master Fang, stop saying useless words, you just love to talk too much. For the sake of our acquaintance, this glass of wine is also my last wish. Master Fang drinks this glass of wine and goes on his way. I will let the executioner be more agile and not let Master Fang do it at this time. I still suffered..."
Su Qianling was one of Zhou Tian's censors who impeached Zhang Tie in the early years. Later, the impeachment failed and he was demoted to Yinzhou and became an eighth-rank household minister, but at least he survived.
"I want to see His Highness the Crown Prince... I want to see General Mu Shen... I am the Shaofu Shangshu Zuo Pusha. Who dares to kill me... Xuanyuan Zhiqiu never kills ministers for their opinions. I want to see the Emperor Xuanyuan..." Fang Keyan Shenzhi They got confused and started shouting.
The official in the vermilion official uniform looked at Fang Keyan like this, his eyes gradually became cold, he poured the last glass of wine on the bluestone in front of Fang Keyan, and then turned back to the execution platform.
On the supervisory platform, there were two other officials sitting expressionlessly. When they saw the official wearing the vermilion official uniform return, one of them waved his hand. Next to him was a capable junior official. He walked up and finally verified Fang Keyan's identity.
The clerk walked back and nodded to the official.
"Don't be surprised, Mr. Xiang. This is a serious case handed down by His Highness the Crown Prince himself. There is no room for error. I don't dare to be sloppy. I can only follow the procedures..." The official said with an arched hand to Mr. Xiang.
"Master Hong is polite, it should be so, it should be so..." Master Xiang smiled, "Fang Keyan's family has also been thoroughly investigated. The men in his family have all been sent to Mozhou Black Mine, and the women in the family have been inspected. After she was no longer pregnant, she was also assigned to the Liangzhou Jiaofang Division. After today, the case will be closed... "
The official sitting on the other side glanced at the sundial standing on the execution ground, turned his head, "It should be almost done..."
The sun was shining high above the head, and the shadow on the sundial had already reached three quarters of noon. This was the time of day when Yang Qi was at its strongest. Executing prisoners at this time was the best way to eliminate sneaky evil spirits and leave no further trouble.
Master Xiang glanced at the sundial, then picked up a command arrow in front of him and threw it out.
"Cut..."
On the execution platform, the executioner took a sip of wine, and then sprayed half of it on the ghost-headed sword in his hand. Then the sword flashed, the neck was broken, and the head fell, and a stream of dirty blood was sprayed on the bluestone with wine stains...
"Okay..." The people of Xuanyuan Zhangqiu who were watching cheered loudly.
…
At the same time, Xuanyuan Hill Feizhou Airport...
Zhang Tie looked up at the rising sun and said to Prince Changying, "It's getting late. Brother Changying, please stay!"
Zhang Tie's family members had already boarded the Feizhou, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bid farewell to Zhang Tie on the platform outside the Feizhou. Due to the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the entire Feizhou Airport had been blocked, and there were Jinwu guards everywhere in the airport. The shadow of a master.
His Highness the Crown Prince not only came by himself, but also brought a royal airship specially built for His Highness by Taixia Shaofu as a gift to Zhang Tie. The royal airship was nearly a kilometer long and high. The sixth floor, parked in front of us, is extremely majestic. It is simply the best among flying boats. In the entire Taixia, there may not be more than twenty flying boats of the same level.
His Highness the Crown Prince's enthusiasm made Zhang Tie have to accept such a gift before leaving, and let his family board the flying boat sent by His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Well, I don't know how long it will take for my dear brother to see you again after we say goodbye. This time my dear brother returns to Youzhou. If his injury does not recover well, I hope you can inform me as soon as possible. I will definitely gather the strength of Taixia to find my dear brother. A secret method that can help your body recover!" Prince Changying said with emotion.
"Thank you, Brother Changying, for your concern. If my injury does not recover smoothly, I will definitely not refuse Brother Changying's kindness!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good. Then I wish my dear brother a happy journey!"
"This is a small gift from me to Brother Changying. We should reciprocate the courtesy. I hope Brother Changying won't refuse it!" Zhang Tie said, and with a move of his hand, an extra 'jade' box appeared, and then handed the 'jade' box to him. Prince Changying.
Prince Changying glanced at Zhang Tie, smiled, and then accepted Zhang Tie's things.
Zhang Tie and Prince Changying said goodbye one last time, then turned around and boarded the thousand-meter-long flying boat.
His Royal Highness has been on the airport, watching the flying boat rise slowly, and finally fly towards the north. After the flying boat flew away, out of curiosity, His Royal Highness opened the 'jade' box given to him by Zhang Tie. , only then did he see the ten extremely precious fruits of the flowers of the two realms placed in the jade box.
Just these ten two-term 'flower' fruits are more than the number stored in the imperial treasury of Xuanyuan Palace.
Looking at the ten two-term 'flower' fruits, Prince Changying couldn't help but raise his head and sigh. The complicated feelings in his heart were difficult for outsiders to understand...
…
On the flying boat, Zhang Tie looked at the Xuanyuan Hill that was gradually disappearing in the distance. His heart slowly calmed down and he let out a long breath.
This Xuanyuan Hill is a huge whirlpool. In this whirlpool are fame and wealth, wine, sex, wealth, grand ambitions, various dirty tricks, and all kinds of ambitions and desires. In such a whirlpool, In the environment, Zhang Tie really couldn't settle down. Thinking of the things he encountered in Xuanyuan Hill in just a few days, and then thinking about Meng Shidao's humble heart garden that he had maintained in Xuanyuan Hill for decades, Zhang Tie Tiedu had to admire Meng Shidao's cultivation of mind and nature.
In Xuanyuan Hill today, some people's heads fall to the ground, some people will be happy because they left, and some people will sigh because they left, but these are not important anymore. What is important is that they can return to Youzhou and Zhulong Territory. .
Compared with the prosperity of Xuanyuan Hill, that is the place where I will miss you.
No matter how grand and prosperous the place is, if there are no people he misses and cares about, such a place will be strange to Zhang Tie, no matter how long he stays.
And if you return to the Zhulong Territory, there is another advantage, that is, in the name of cultivation, you can go to the Black Iron Castle after seclusion to see what the fruit of the human race's salvation is. Now in Xuanyuan Hill, every moment There are people paying attention to every move of his. Even if he wants to enter the Black Iron Castle, there is no way unless he wants to expose the existence of the Black Iron Castle.
Take Yan Feiqing as an example, within the entire Qianji Mansion, as soon as she disappears, she will immediately feel that only in the knight's secret room specially built by the Iron Dragon Sect for her to retreat, can she completely Exploration isolated from the outside world.
"Dad, are we going home now?" There were slight footsteps behind him. Zhang Shini came over, took Zhang Tie's hand, raised her little face and asked childishly.
Zhang Tie picked up the precious daughter in one fell swoop, exhaled a long breath, and gently pinched the nose on the little daughter's face, "Yes, we are home, Xiao Ni. Are you happy?"
"Mom is happy, grandma is happy, and I am happy too..."
"How's it going? Do you still like this spaceship?"
"I like it. There are many toys in my room..."
The world of children is so simple, Zhang Tie burst out laughing...
