Chapter 197 Today All Your Heads Belong to Me! [Subscribe]
March
The spring is warming up, and everything is reviving!
After a few days of comfort, Wei Hong ushered in another busy day. The Ministry of Justice finally sorted out the responsibilities of the main culprits and accomplices of the remnants of the Sixth Prince's Party, and prepared to start beheading the prisoners in batches.
After the last battle for the throne, the new emperor ordered a large number of people to be beheaded!
However, many family members of officials have not been beheaded, and have been detained for trial. The prison of the Ministry of Justice is also overcrowded.
After a few months!
Almost all those who should be examined have been examined.
Now they are preparing to chop them all off!
At the Caishikou of Beida Street, Wei Hong, who had just arrived at noon, saw Deng Haisheng. He was dressed as an executioner and was sharpening his ghost-head broadsword. The execution ground was already full of people watching the excitement.
"Master Deng, I'm busy!" Wei Hong casually greeted him and handed over the meat buns he had just bought: "Eat first, let's go drink after we're done!"
"Okay!" Deng Haisheng agreed with a smile, and the two of them sat down and started eating and drinking, not caring about killing people immediately. This look of treating human life as worthless made the onlookers secretly smack their lips.
"Today we have to kill again!" Deng Haisheng sighed and muttered: "I heard that there are still two or three thousand people imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. The lowest among them are officials above the sixth rank and their families. Our ghost-headed swords must be blunted."
"What are you afraid of? You know I like killing people the most." Wei Hong smiled expectantly: "If you are tired, I will do it."
"That's right, hahaha!" Deng Haisheng smiled heartily.
But as he smiled, he became worried again.
After glancing around, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't be too crazy later. It's not so easy to behead people this time. It's too easy to offend people."
"Why?" Wei Hong frowned and asked, "We are just doing our job. We won't get into trouble, right?"
"Haha, who said it won't?" Deng Haisheng sneered, "All these prisoners were once officials and dignitaries. Who knows how many dead men they have raised? How many people have they been kind to? If you chop off the heads of their whole family, think about the consequences!"
Wei Hong fell silent.
Deng Haisheng is indeed a veteran in the world. He sees things clearly.
Think about it, hasn't he been kind to people for many years? If he is convicted and beheaded one day, what will Luan Xiaoqi and others do?
They may not have the ability to assassinate the emperor to avenge him!
But they don't dare to kill the court henchmen who beheaded him?
Putting himself in other people's shoes, the many high-ranking officials and dignitaries who were arrested by the Sixth Prince's Party were only defeated, and they were not completely uprooted. There must be many remnants behind them, eyeing them covetously.
This time, he took on a hot potato.
"If you are afraid, you might as well take a leave and go back to rest." Deng Haisheng kindly reminded: "Then I will say a few words to Shangguan Mei for you, and I believe no one will blame you."
"No need!"
Wei Hong rejected the proposal without hesitation.
Take a leave? What are you thinking? How can he bear to leave with so many heads?
He killed so many people some time ago that he saved more than one million vitality points. If he kills another batch, he will make a fortune.
You know, vitality has many uses!
The function of upgrading martial arts and repairing injuries alone makes him invincible. As long as the vitality is enough, he is almost immortal, so how could he miss any opportunity to earn vitality?
"Who cares who he offends? We will stop them if they come." Wei Hong sneered, "They are just a bunch of weaklings who dare not make trouble and only pick on weak persimmons. Why would I be afraid of them?"
"What a great ambition!" Deng Haisheng took a sip of the strong liquor used to wash the knife and muttered, "I am afraid of nothing. One person is full and the whole family is not hungry. Damn it!"
After some small talk!
A row of prison cars finally arrived!
The new emperor attached great importance to this beheading. Not only did he send a patrol battalion to escort, but he also allowed the people to watch at will, in order to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and deter the remnants of the Sixth Prince.
At noon!
The official in charge of supervising the execution read out the beheading clause as usual, and then took out a bamboo stick and threw it, and then began to behead after verifying the identity.
Several executioners on the left side of the execution ground were responsible for beheading!
There were also several executioners on the right side of the execution ground responsible for lingchi.
Deng Haisheng, whose family had been executioners for generations, was among them. A middle-aged man was tied to a wooden frame in front of him. He was covered in messy stolen goods and had long lost his former nobleness. At this moment, he was only humble and desperate.
"Kill me, kill me quickly! Please!"
"I'm sorry, sir. If I kill you so quickly, I won't be able to save my life!" Deng Haisheng pulled out a knife with a smile and said, "Every grievance has its perpetrator. I am also following orders. I hope you don't blame me!"
After that, he started to work directly!
There is a rule that the prisoner must be cut three thousand times before he can die. If the number of cuts is not enough, the executioner must make up for it himself, so how dare he neglect it?
Cut it one by one!
The prisoner, who was once a third-rank official, screamed miserably.
The high-pitched shouts, accompanied by Wei Hong's constantly waving ghost-headed sword and the flying heads, gave people an extremely terrifying feeling.
The crowd watching at Caishikou had already been frightened into silence!
Some people were so scared that their legs were trembling, some were so scared that their faces turned pale, and some fainted on the spot.
Wei Hong secretly paid attention and indeed saw someone in the crowd with hatred and resentment in his eyes. It seems that the new emperor deliberately made such a big scene, mainly to catch the remnants of the Sixth Prince's party.
I heard that the prison of the Ministry of Justice has been robbed many times during this period!
Several times, people tried to rush into the prison to rob the prison, but were all killed by the patrol camp.
"The new emperor is good at fishing tricks, but it's a pity that the prisoners today are bait. I'm afraid we will be affected." Wei Hong frowned, and he didn't sneer until he felt the cold touch of the ghost-headed sword in his hand.
Who cares about the turmoil!
He worked so hard to become stronger just to avoid being trampled to death like an ant. Now it's just a storm, what is he afraid of?
"Today, all your heads will belong to me. Jesus can't stop it. I said it!"
Wei Hong murmured coldly and raised the sword again!
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
Heads fell one after another, blood splattered on the ground, emitting a strong stench, and the evil spirit was almost unable to disperse.
Just then!
A group of female relatives were sent to the stage. Most of them were graceful and beautiful. Even if they were in a mess, they could not hide their stunning looks. As soon as they appeared, many people's eyes were wide open.
"This? What's going on?"
"Shouldn't the female relatives be sent to the Jiaofangsi when the house was confiscated? How could they bear to behead them?"
Everyone was talking in an uproar!
The people who were already eager to make a move became even more agitated at this moment.
