The ancients believed that three o'clock in the afternoon was the best time for the execution of the condemned prisoner, when the yang energy was at its highest, and the fierce sunlight could turn the prisoner's soul into flying smoke, so that he could not become a ghost and harm others. However, today is a spring rain, the sky is overcast, and there is no sunlight until noon, which is obviously not a good day for execution and beheading.

However, Xu Daqincha's will could not be swayed by the weather, as soon as noon arrived, Yu Dayou, who was tied up with five flowers, was escorted to the open space outside the camp to be beheaded, and all the soldiers and family members of Yangzhou Wei were present to watch the execution, this was the order of Lord Qincha, and no one could disobey it.

The spring rain was like silk, the cold was unexpectedly steep, and Yu Dayou, who was covered in blood, knelt down in the mud, and he still straightened his waist straight after he had just been beaten by thirty military sticks last night, and his face was not ashamed. The executioner in charge of the execution stood behind Yu Dayou, holding a ghost-headed knife with a cold light, naked, staring at his eyes, and his expression was hideous.

According to the standard, a guard should have 5,600 people, but Yangzhou Wei is obviously seriously short of personnel, because there are less than 4,000 registered soldiers present at the moment, almost 40% less.

The Yangzhou guards present were not allowed to carry weapons, and stood in line according to the formation, most of them had numb expressions, and some showed sympathy, but Yu Dayou belonged to the dozens of soldiers, and their eyes were red like rabbits, and Su Qing and Feng Laoliu, who were the leaders, clenched their fists even more.

Xu Jin sat on the platform with a serious expression, Xie Erjian Qi Jingtong stood solemnly on both sides, and dozens of five hundred battalion soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition were guarding all around, their eyes were sharply monitoring the surroundings, if anyone dared to make a move, it was estimated that a row of guns would beckon them over.

There was an incense burner on the table, and there was a stick of incense stuck in the incense burner, which was now half burned, and when the incense was burned out, it was the time when the head fell to the ground. Xu Jin was sitting behind the case, quietly waiting for the three o'clock in the afternoon.

Yu Dayou knelt in the muddy water, staring at Su Qing and Feng Laoliu in the onlookers with wide eyes, the smell of warning was very strong, and the eyes of the latter two did not dare to look at him, but the clenched fists gradually loosened.

The moment passed minute by minute, and the incense was also burned to the end, Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian's faces were gloomy and terrifying, Xu Jin picked up the arrow with an expressionless face, and at this moment, Su Qing and Feng Lao Liu in the team finally moved.

"Green Snake Sixth, stop for Lao Tzu!" Yu Dayou shouted with tears in his eyes, but Su Qingsnake and Feng Lao Liu did not stop, they walked quickly into the entrance with resolute expressions, and fell to their knees in the mud, smashing muddy water everywhere.

Xu Jin sighed lightly and shouted, "Who is under the case?" Why did you obstruct the execution? ”

"The subordinate is the deputy hundred households Su Qing!"

"The subordinate is the general Feng Lao Liu!"

Su Qingshe and Feng Laoliu said loudly: "Lord Qincha, the matter of stealing and selling firearms in the army was done by the two of us, and it is not about Yu Baihu's business. ”

"Fart, it's all Lao Tzu's doing, what kind of heroes do you guys have, fucking Lao Tzu go back, immediately!" Yu Dayou scolded sharply, and tried to struggle to stand up, but was kicked down mercilessly by the executioner behind him.

"Boss Yu, this is obviously done by the two of us, we can't watch you take the blame." Su Qingsnake's eyes were red and tears flowed down her face.

Feng Lao Liu was even more straightforward, knocked his head three times after the case, and said loudly: "Lord Qincha, the theft and sale of firearms was indeed done by the two of us, Yu Lao didn't know about it beforehand, and he beat us up afterwards, trying to recover the firearms sold, but unfortunately the second dog who bought the firearms couldn't find anyone." So it's none of Boss Yu's business, if you want to cut us, just cut us. ”

Xu Jin put the arrow back into the lottery holder and said with interest: "There are many people who grab credit, but this one who grabs the head is rare." Feng Lao Liu, Su Qing, right? Since you say that you stole the firearms, what evidence do you have? ”

Feng Lao Liu hurriedly said: "Those firearms are the ones that Xiao and Su Qing stole from the warehouse, and they are also the prices we personally negotiated with the second dog." ”

"How many firearms did you sell in total?" How much does it get? ”

"Twenty-three firecrackers, twelve mines, three three-eyed guns, one beaded gun, and a cracked bowl-mouth gun, a total of eight taels and five coins of silver and forty-eight wen."

Feng Laoliu said the specific number in one mouth, which coincided with the batch of firearms seized on Dongsha Island, obviously not lying, but in comparison, the number that Yu Dayou said last night was much more general.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "The number and type of firearms stolen and sold are all consistent, it seems that you really did it." ”

Su Qing and Feng Lao Liuxi said: "That's right, we did it, it's none of Boss Yu's business, did Lord Qincha let him go?" ”

Xu Jin sneered: "Your words can only prove that you participated in the theft and sale of firearms, but they can't prove Yu Dayou's innocence, not to mention, even if he really didn't participate, but as a Shangguan, he didn't report it, shielded his subordinates, and his crime should also be punished. ”

Several soldiers of the 500 battalion immediately rushed forward, tied up Su Qing and Feng Laoliu, and escorted them to their knees next to Yu Dayou. Yu Dayou scolded with red eyes: "Grass you two uncles, it's okay now, you have put your life in vain!" ”

Feng Lao Liu showed a smile that was more ugly than crying and said, "Boss Yu, isn't it better, the three of us brothers will go on the road together, and we will be good companions on Huangquan Road." ”

Su Qing nodded and said, "The sixth brother is right, the three of us brothers will go on the road together, we will not be lonely, maybe we can continue to be brothers in the next life." ”

Yu Dayou's face was covered with mud, his eyes were moist, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared: "Drink, Lao Tzu wants to drink!" ”

Qi Jingtong looked at Xu Jin inquiringly, and when he saw the latter nodding slightly, he ordered someone to pour three bowls of wine and send them over. Yu Dayou and the three of them drank the wine with a grunt, and then looked at each other and laughed.

"Brother, is the knife sharp?" Yu Dayou turned his head and asked.

The executioner grinned and said: "My knife is as sharp as clay, ancestral craftsmanship, the knife falls and the head is broken, and it will never drag mud and water." ”

Yu Dayou said with satisfaction: "That's good, Lao Tzu's bones are hard, so ask me, okay, then please let my brother give our brother a good time." ”

Seeing that the executioner raised the butcher's knife, the eyes of the dozens of soldiers in the onlookers became redder and redder, they were all soldiers under Yu Dayou, and I don't know who took the lead first, so Hula rushed out.

Click......

The soldiers of the 500 battalion raised flintlock pistols at the same time and aimed them at this group of people, if Xu Jinju hadn't stopped them in time, the flintlock pistol had been activated at this moment, killing all these dozens of people.

Plop Plop Plop ......

Seventy or eighty soldiers all knelt down in the mud, some of them cried loudly and begged for mercy for Yu Dayou and the others, while others bitterly and angrily denounced the oppression and exploitation of the high-ranking officers, and forced them into a corner, so they took the risk of stealing and selling discarded firearms in the army......

It was like a keg of explosives that had been lit, and the long-suppressed emotions of the soldiers exploded instantly, and more and more people came out and knelt on the ground and cried loudly, and the scene was chaotic.

Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian obviously didn't expect things to turn out like this, and immediately gathered all the five hundred battalion soldiers together, as if they were facing a great enemy, and guarded around Xu Jin, but compared to the two hundred people, the gap was really big.

Fortunately, these soldiers of Yangzhou Wei did not mean to rebel, but were just emotional and asked Qin Cha to administer justice for them.
