The sun was shining warmly, and the deep blue sea stubbornly pushed towards the shore with layers of waves from a distance, then turned light blue, became transparent, and there were some white waves that kept beating on the beach. , Leaving the existence of bubbles slowly receding.
Whenever a wave hits the beach, there will always be countless sea tide insects brought by the wave to the shore, the tide recedes, some are taken away by the sea again, and some quickly burrow into the sand.
The little crabs that acted the same way as them came to the beach by the force of the tide, drilled into the cracks in the reef, and dug pits to bury themselves, leaving small holes in the beach.
Seabirds spread their wings in the sky, and occasionally swooped down towards the sea, picked up a fish that was twisting its body hard, and swayed a string of pearl-like water droplets.
Life in the world multiplies in this noisy silence, reincarnation, millennia, or yesterday, the sea is still turbulent.
The fishermen who have been used to this way of life will hit some small fish and shrimps near the sea on weekdays, and then fry them in a dry pan without adding oil or salt.
It's just that today no one can be seen fishing in the sea in Wulei County. It's almost noon, and the people in the county are gathering in the direction of the field.
Said it is a field of practice, it is actually a wasteland, and there is no such thing as a stand, but the people don’t care about this, they just want to see the results of the people who have hurt them with their own eyes. Some people even take the tablets of their dead relatives from their homes. He hugged him and waited quietly, waiting for the most sunny moment of the day.
Zhang Zhong has led a group of officials here. There is a table in front of him. The person in charge of the execution is fiddling with things, while scenting incense and murmuring.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also came here, huddled with the crowd, and acted as spectators, even if this incident was planned by them, for today’s killing, the executioner was executed by a member of the No. 0 Team of the Strong Seed Protection Team. Thirty-one people came, no matter how hard the people who usually train, it is always worse if they have not personally experienced the blood.
When the thirty-one yamen were escorted up, the surrounding people uttered a shout of applause. No one would feel sad that the life in front of them was about to pass, because these people had let other people's lives pass.
The sound of applause will be mixed with the sound of crying, and the person holding the tablet is crying while saying something to the tablet.
When the thirty-one people were kneeled there, Zhang Yi finally appeared, surrounded by the seventy-one yamen who were released yesterday. These yamen who usually flamboyant and majestic do not look like that today. One by one is like a chicken that has wilted.
Following Zhang Yi was the county magistrate of Yushan County. He was the only one who came. Zhang Yi asked him to find him quickly, hoping to stop him for a period of time today. At that time, the two county magistrates can unite and impose on Zhang Zhong. Under pressure, I didn't expect that Yushan County magistrate Nian Wanjiu was already on the way to Wulei County, otherwise it would not be possible to arrive at this time.
Nian Wanjiu only brought ten yamen. He rushed over for other things, only to know that Zhang Zhong was going to kill people, and he agreed to oppose Zhang Yi and save them.
The two people rushed to here from Cong, and they were almost ready there. Zhang Yi looked at the servants around him, then looked at the more than 200 people holding crossbows over there, and suppressed the idea of rushing. To Zhang Zhong over there, he shouted: "Master Cishi wait a minute, I have something to say."
Zhang Yi's voice made the people around him tremble. They looked at the magistrate who also wanted to kill, and turned their eyes on Zhang Zhong over there.
"It's three quarters in the afternoon, the execution, if there is a blocker, kill!" Zhang Zhong ignored Zhang Yi at all and gave the order directly.
The purpose of this is very simple. The person who was put back yesterday will leave a shadow in his heart. Today, he will not be able to play any role. Zhang Yi has to come again, otherwise, who would dare to do things with him in the future? But it's no use coming, just let everyone know that you follow Zhang Yi, he has no ability to help you when it is critical.
The 200 guards of the palace around with crossbows in their hands shouted in unison: "Kill..."
Seeing those who were winding the crossbow with their swords out of the sheath, Zhang Yi couldn't help himself. He winked at Nian Wanjiu. Just as Nian Wanjiu was about to speak, one of the guards over there turned the crossbow.
If Nian Wanjiu had already reached his lips, he was stunned and swallowed again. Life matters. Who knows if someone will shoot it out.
There was a slight delay here, and the swords of 31 people in the field fell. 30 of them were quite good. Only one of them stretched when they tried hard, but the head didn’t get cut off. This person shivered. I was a little scared, but I can think of the little lady who said when she came, "The timid, go back to the inner courtyard to do miscellaneous work."
Thinking of this sentence, the man raised the knife and looked at the position where he had just cut it. No matter how much blood spurted out, it was chopped again. Amidst the plops, the man's head was finally chopped off.
Thirty-one people were killed. The people around were silent for a while, and then some people began to cry. They came to the field holding the tablet, knelt there to kowtow to the tablet, and then turned to Zhang Zhong’s direction after the kowtow. Knocking, with this group of people taking the lead, other people who didn't hold the tablet also knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Zhong.
No matter what Zhang Zhong said above, these people didn't get up. When Zhang Zhong was about to go down to persuade him, he turned his head and looked, Zhang Yi followed the year-long turn around and walked back, yelling immediately: " Stop, Zhang Yi, the magistrate of Wulei County, you just called the officer to say something. Why are you leaving this time? Is it possible to entertain the officer? Come on, take it for me."
This shout really worked. The people didn't kowtow anymore, and the crying people also stopped the sound, turned to look at Zhang Yi, and slowly stood up to know what Master Cishi wanted to do.
Zhang Yi was just getting angry. He didn't expect Zhang Zhong to be troublesome for him at this time, so he cursed in his heart, didn't Zhang Zhong know what he was going to say? People have been killed, so come to ask yourself
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi couldn't say it. Seeing someone had rushed over, he hurriedly shouted to Zhang Zhong: "My lord, I was scared just now, so I forgot about the matter for a while. , The next official remembered again, and asked the lord to forgive him."
Even if Zhang Yi had more dissatisfaction in his heart, he had to be subdued at this time. He found that he couldn't see through Zhang Zhong. After arriving here, how could he look like other officials when he took office? Usually, there are only three situations when you become an official in a new place. One is to get acquainted with other local officials and get along well.
The second is ambitious, first showing weakness, finding an opportunity and then turning over. It may be successful or unsuccessful. The other is to call the officials below for a training session, thinking that it will be all right. This will generally be brilliant. Come, walk dingy.
But Zhang Zhong didn’t have any of them. He came here as if he was official, he did things without concealment. When the first day arrived, he would kill and arrest people the next day. In just three days, 39 lives were gone. , But asked about the specific things in the mansion, arresting and killing people, releasing goods and lending money.
What is he going to do? Zhang Yi really can’t think of it, but he knows that this Zhang Zhong is definitely a killer who never blinks. He can’t provoke him. Even if he kills himself, he may be pursued by the court, but his life is gone. Has he been arrested? Is it useful to pursue it
Zhang Yi thought quickly, and it took only a few breaths to figure it out. When the people around saw Zhang Yi who had bullied the stone governor before, they gave in, cheering and shouting.
Zhang Zhong didn't stop him, and let Zhang Yi feel the anger of the people. He didn't dare to talk back when he was in Zhang Yi, and he couldn't afford it, let alone leave.
The people cursed for a while and finally subsided gradually, and then gave way to Zhang Yi to make room in front of Zhang Zhong, and waited for Zhang Zhong to clean up Zhang Yi.
The people finally found the backbone. The new officials did a lot of good deeds in just over three days. Those goods and loans that can be paid in the future are clear to the people. It does matter, otherwise, how can you wait for him to come, especially when lending money, the profit is only 10% for the whole year, which is almost the same as a free loan.
Zhang Yi first walked towards Zhang Zhong. He didn't dare to leave for a long time. He followed behind. He was also picked up by the curse just now. The two of them were in a very bad mood, but they had to smile on their faces. Look at the four Pansi who usually cooperates well with them, sitting there and winking.
Zhang Zhong set his feet on the air and sat there. Instead of staring at Zhang Yi, he looked at the front. Zhang Yi endured the suffocation in his heart and came to the front and bowed to salute: "Master Cishi, there is something to be done under the government. Say."
"Say..." Zhang Zhong raised his eyelids, and said a word in a long voice.
"Yes, the official came here to look for an adult, just to ask, after two days of heavy rain, if the water on the mountain washes down, what should I do here?" Zhang Yi casually found something and said.
Zhang Zhong found that the people calmed down after hearing what Zhang Yi said. He seemed to be waiting for him to say a way. After thinking about it, he asked, "How did you do it in the past?"
"In the past, under the leadership of Master Shi, I worked diligently to build water conservancy projects and bring the water from the mountains and the water gathered by the heavy rain into the sea. However, due to the lack of money and wealth of the government, I couldn't do everything, and the results were minimal."
Zhang Yi explained, shifting the responsibility to the former governor.
"Oh... I don't have money in the government? I don't know if there is money in the county? When the official came the day before, the road was too high for the county government. Zhang Yi, your house is well repaired." Zhang Zhong asked indifferently.
Zhang Yi's heart suddenly burst, and he secretly said that Zhang Zhong really mentioned this matter. Fortunately, there is already a saying, "I don't know, the money is not from the county office, but a gift from a friend of the next official."
"County magistrate Zhang Yi, do you still have friends like this? Call me someday to let the officer see." Zhang Zhong had just this plan to find the person behind, otherwise it would be useless to just clean up the magistrate.
"If you want to see the adults, the lower officials will naturally find people, don't you see each other tonight?" Zhang Yi also found the opportunity.
"Okay, then at night." Zhang Zhong agreed.
