In the midst of wailing, tens of thousands of people were tied up with ropes and escorted on foot towards Wuping.
The so-called Wuping is a chaotic river beach five miles away from Jinchang County. It is very large and deserted. There are mass graves all around and no one lives there at all.
And this Wuping is also the place where Jinchang County executes death row prisoners before the autumn harvest every year.
Wuping has a long history. It was a headless ghost for hundreds of years.
In the past one or two hundred years, they have all been hanged ghosts.
In the past few hundred years, it was popular in society to execute prisoners by beheading, and the bodies were dug in a hole nearby and buried, so they became headless ghosts.
Beheading was later abolished, as society generally believed it was too bloody and cruel. So they began to carry out a quick and easy execution without much psychological fear.
There are also various legends circulating in Wuping, all of which are stories of various supernatural ghosts.
Some people say they often see headless ghosts wandering around at night. Some people also say that they will see old hanged ghosts hanging from trees at night with their tongues hanging out.
Wuping has become a forbidden area in Jinchang County, and ordinary people who are timid dare not come to Wuping. Even if there is an emergency, I will try my best to avoid Wuping.
Today, tens of thousands of people were escorted to Wuping. The terrifying Wuping, which had been desolate before, was now very lively. But everyone was in despair, because the purpose of coming to Wuping was self-evident, which was to directly execute the people on the spot.
Everyone was forced to take off their shoes and walk barefoot. Everyone had their belts removed and walked forward in a swing. Because their pants are old and worn out, many people have their hands tied behind their backs and have to rub their wrists to prevent them from falling off.
This is also a common method used to capture enemy troops. My feet are bare and my waistband is taken off to prevent you from running away.
A grandfather and grandson were tied together, and the soles of their feet were sore from the stones.
The old man cried and said, "I shouldn't have taken you with me."
"Grandpa, we shouldn't make trouble."
"Yes, it seems that the army is preparing to execute us all. Tens of thousands of people. These are tens of thousands of people. Kill them at will. Who would have thought?"
"You all say that the law does not punish the public, and you are all lying."
"I don't blame anyone for lying to whom, but everyone has forgotten. The law is for the common people. It is a law made by the government and implemented by the government. But if the commotion becomes too big, then we are no longer common people. It is directly treason and terrorist attacks. , and it can also be labeled as a rebel. Even the government can't care about this kind of thing, it is directly the army. They have forgotten that the relationship between the government and the people is only between the government and the people, but there is a layer of the army above it. "
"Yes, grandpa, we died unjustly this time. If I could do it again, I promise not to make trouble with the Jinchang County government. If I can escape death this time, I will not go to any event with more than five people in the future. . Wuwuwu, who would have thought of this? When the army kills people, it doesn’t matter whether you are a commoner or not. As long as someone says you are a gangster, they will really kill you as a bandit. "
“…”
The same scene happened everywhere in the crowd, everyone looked desperate.
But there was an extremely strange scene in the crowd. While everyone was crying and shouting, only the old blind man from Majia Lane was tied up and walked in front of the group, laughing and talking to the people around him as he walked.
"I just said it. I told you not to make trouble, but you just don't listen to me."
"Haha, are you okay now? If you don't listen to me, you will suffer this injustice."
“…”
I don’t know why, but the old blind man was extremely happy, really happy. Happy from the bottom of my heart.
The soldiers around him all looked confused. What was there to be happy about? If it weren't for the fact that the old blind man was too old and was afraid of losing his life, someone would have gone up and beat him to death.
An old woman in her sixties wiped her tears on her shoulder and cried, "Mr. Ma, please stop laughing. People are going to die soon. Why are you laughing? It affects my mood."
The old blind man laughed twice more, but stopped talking. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Death? You can't die. There is no smell of death here, and I feel like... money is going to rain down from the sky."
When they arrived at Wuping, following a military order, all the soldiers raised their guns like wolves and tigers, roaring:
"Everyone faces the river beach and kneels down!"
"Everyone kneel down!"
'Bang bang bang'
Someone kept firing guns into the air, and tens of thousands of people in Jinchang County were so frightened that they knelt down to the point of peeing. The scene was extremely huge with tens of thousands of people kneeling there.
If the team led by General Wu had not experienced real battlefields, these thousands of soldiers might not be able to subdue tens of thousands of ordinary people.
"Everyone, close your eyes!"
“…”
'Kakaka'
The sound of a gun being cocked sounded.
Suddenly, a high-pitched cry came from the crowd: "Woo hoo hoo."
"I was wrong, don't kill me."
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to die."
"What should I do? I still have a seventy-year-old mother at home with no one to take care of her. Why am I going to die now?"
"I was wrong, military gentlemen, I was really wrong. I was kidnapped to cause trouble. I am not a gangster. I don't want to die."
“…”
When someone cried, tens of thousands of people burst into tears because of the atmosphere.
"We're going to die!"
Everyone shed tears, and only at this moment did they feel what despair was. What exactly is "the law does not punish everyone"? It is simply a big joke that the law does not hold the public accountable.
"stand at attention!"
"General Wu is here!"
"stand at attention!"
Suddenly, the uniform chants of the soldiers sounded, and all the soldiers stood upright.
'Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooftsslights and that's it.'
General Wu is here.
All the people kneeling on the ground seem to have seen the dawn of hope. Will the legendary thing finally happen - save someone under the knife
Is General Wu coming to stop the execution of more than half of the population of Jinchang County? Are they here to stop the killing of ordinary people like us
Everyone stopped crying and watched with bated breath as the steam car approached quietly and the door opened.
Then, General Wu, dressed in military uniform and with a pistol on his waist, stepped out of the car. He frowned and glanced at the whole place.
The grandfather and grandson were extremely surprised. Sun Tzu whispered: "General Wu is going to save us."
"Yes. After all, tens of thousands..."
The words were not finished.
General Wu suddenly shouted: "What do you do for food? You haven't finished shooting all the people yet? Where is the executive officer?"
A general walked up cautiously: "General Wu, it's me."
General Wu slapped him with a slap in the face: "What the hell are you doing? It took you so long to kill some gangsters? If the superiors track them down, you can't even shoot tens of thousands of gangsters." , that needs to be held accountable. Those who deserve to live should live well, and those who deserve to die should be treated with ease."
“…”
Tens of thousands of people were numb.
Feelings are not here to say, "Save the enemy under the sword." Feelings... are here to urge these soldiers to hurry up.
MMP! You are not a Bodhisattva. You are the king of hell!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The people cried again.
"Prepare!"
The executive officer shouted loudly, and all the soldiers shouted: "Here we are!"
'Kakaka'
The sound of a gun being loaded sounded again.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Don't kill me!"
"dying… "
The desperate voices of the common people rose one after another, but at this moment, a smile flashed in the eyes of General Wu, who was standing under the shade of the tree.
At this time, another sound of 'woo woo woo' came.
The soldiers stopped and turned their heads. The common people also turned their heads in surprise.
But he saw another steam car approaching, followed by hundreds of government servants trotting behind.
Before the car even came close, Zhang Haiyang, who had an arrow stuck in his chest and looked pale, jumped out of the car "despite everyone's obstruction" and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute!"
Zhang Haiyang's secretary quickly shouted: "Princess Zhang, you are seriously injured."
"Princess Zhang, just leave it alone."
"Princess Zhang, please go back quickly to treat the injuries and rescue them. These are damned people, please leave them alone."
Zhang Haiyang turned around and roared angrily in a voice that everyone could hear: "Insolent. These are all my people, these are my brothers and sisters in Jinchang County. How can they be thugs? They just listened to it. The words of some people with ulterior motives, people who have been deceived. They are just good people who have made a few mistakes temporarily. They are all my people. I am the parent official of Jinchang County. I should give advice to the lost sheep who have made mistakes. An opportunity.”
"Wow wow wow"
Zhang Haiyang finished speaking, and ran towards General Wu with tears in his eyes regardless of his serious injury.
This scene was seen by the common people, and they finally waited for the sentence "the sword will save the person". Fortunately, I didn't give up.
I burst into tears immediately.
"Master Qingtian!"
"Princess Zhang is my Master Qingtian!"
"We always misunderstood Princess Zhang before. Princess Zhang is a good official who truly loves the people like a son."
"We were wrong. We should not have made things difficult for Princess Zhang before. He is the real parent official."
"Princess Zhang, I was wrong. Even if I die this time, I will still be a commoner under your rule in the next life."
"Oh, Princess Zhang, you are a great master."
