At the same time that the wolf cavalry camp poured out, the county jail in Qiangyang County was still in darkness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike other counties, this county jail is not located in the northwest corner of the county office, but is built under the county office. Therefore, there will never be a little bit of sunshine here, there will be no daylight, there is only endless darkness.

Fortunately, the security in Qiangyang is good, and very few people will patronize here.

In the innermost part of the cell, there was a cell with the number 'A' on it, and the gate was made of pure iron three fingers wide, so strong that only the most vicious felons were imprisoned.

The candle cage in front of the cell door was dull, and in the center of the cell sat a man with a Chinese face, his hair slightly loose, his face covered with bruises, and his hands and feet were covered with heavy chains.

He has been held here for almost 10 days.

During this period, he was interrogated and interrogated many times, but he always replied with the sentence 'I did not kill anyone'.

Finally, two days ago, the paperwork submitted to the county government was approved, and he was sentenced to beheading.

"Tut-tut, isn't this Gao Shun?"

The cell door opened, and a well-dressed young man walked in, with a surprised expression on his face, and said with a pretended regret: "Oh, how can you end up with such a field." ”

Gao Shun raised his head and glanced at the young man, and asked in a sullen voice, "Zhou Fu, what are you doing here?" ”

"Why, can't I come?"

The young man named Zhou Fu asked with a smile, walked up to Gao Shun, and said condescendingly: "I'll take a look at how majestic the big hero who beat me in the past was." Now it seems to be a little miserable, look at the way you are now, people are not like people and ghosts, not like ghosts......"

"Oh, by the way, I have good news for you, tomorrow you will be taken to the market to be beheaded, how is it, happy?" The smile on Zhou Fu's face became brighter and brighter, as if he was talking about something that made people feel very happy.

His eyes were fixed on Gao Shun's face, trying to see a series of pleasant expressions of fear, frustration, and disappointment on his face.

However, he was disappointed.

When Gao Shun heard the news, there was no sadness on his face, but he said very quietly: "Gao Shun does not hesitate to die, how can he be afraid of death?" ”

It's like this again, it's this tone again!

Zhou Fu's chest suddenly became a nameless fire, he stepped forward and pulled up Gao Shun's sleeve collar, and roared almost roaringly: "You know, what I hate most is your pretending calm face!" Also, you are obviously poor and poor, but you would rather die than bow to me! You are a pariah, where do you get your dignity and arrogance! ”

Speaking of the sore spot in his heart, coupled with various past deeds, the humiliation in Zhou Fu's heart became stronger.

Originally, the purpose of Zhou Fu coming here was to fall into the well and see Gao Shun's pitiful appearance of panic and helplessness. But who would have thought that he was about to die, and Gao Shun's stinky and hard temper still hadn't changed at all.

Zhou Fu spread Gao Shun's sleeve collar, poked Gao Shun's forehead with his hand, and asked in a cold tone: "Didn't you say 'heaven and earth are immortal, and the mighty spirit lasts forever'?" So at this moment, where is your so-called justice! ”

"If ......"

Zhou Fu's voice changed, he took a breath, and gradually calmed down his mood, before he said again: "If you had followed me at the beginning, maybe you wouldn't have become the prisoner you are today." ”

"Following you? Follow you rampant in the countryside, follow you to fish and flesh the people? With a tone of questioning, Gao Shun shook his head and said solemnly: "Gao Shun has always been able to stand, and he can't be a dog who kneels and wags his tail." ”

"Good, good!"

Zhou Fu applauded and said three good words in a row, narrowed his eyes, and said with a sneer: "I want to see if you still have such backbone at this time tomorrow." ”

Gao Shun couldn't hear the sarcasm in Zhou Fu's words, but he didn't bother to theorize anymore, so he simply closed his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Zhou Fu also lost interest when he saw an old monk like Gao Shun settle down.

When he walked out of the cell, Zhou Fu suddenly turned around again, put his hands on the fence, and smiled at Gao Shun: "I forgot to tell you one thing, you really didn't kill the person, the real murderer is actually in front of you, you are just a scapegoat I found...... But who believes? Ha ha...... Hahahaha......"

Zhou Fu was gone, leaving the string of rampant laughter still echoing in the cell.

After a moment, the laughter faded away, and the whole prison returned to a deathly silence.

Gao Shun sat in place in a daze, thinking for a long time, and thinking a lot.

If he caught Zhou Fu just now, would he be able to prove his innocence?

Bang dang~

The cell door was opened again, and the jailer stood outside, banging heavily on the gate with an iron lock, making a screeching metallic sound. Looking at Gao Shun in the prison through the gate, the jailer opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, like a ghost, "Come with me, it's time to hit the road." ”

Before you know it, the night has passed.

Gao Shun sighed in his heart, helpless, but he could only get up and drag his hands and legs and walk out.

The moment he walked out of the prison, the scorching sun above his head shot straight like thousands of silver needles.

Gao Shun was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. The darkness in his cell for so long forced him to stop and cover his eyes with his hands.

The jailer behind him was impatient, pushed Gao Shun violently, and scolded viciously: "Girl, go, you!" ”

The distance from the prison to the market is not far, and it is only a pillar of incense.

Today's market is more lively than ever. Around a square platform, there was a crowd of people, and almost everyone in the prefecture already knew that someone would be beheaded in public today.

Such a big thing as beheading is an extremely rare thing in a small place like theirs, and people who love to join in the fun will naturally not miss this good show. Even after reading it, it can be used as a talking point before and after tea in the future, and it is good to brag about it.

Gao Shun was taken to Xingtai under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of Dao.

There are also more than ten county soldiers around Xingtai, just in case. Behind them was a group of onlookers, they stretched their necks and competed to watch, as if looking at rare things, talking to each other, the distance was too far away, Gao Shun couldn't hear clearly.

Three zhang north of the platform, the local county commander Du Zan is waving his sleeve robe to fan himself, his body is slightly fat, with a round belly, so when he kneels down, his belly will be extraordinarily prominent, which is particularly funny.

Therefore, the local people also call him 'Belly County Order' behind their backs.

Zhou Fu naturally arrived at the scene today, he sat not far from Du Zhan's left side, and behind him stood his faithful servant, Wang Hu.

In the midst of the crowd was a woman who had been here since early in the morning, dressed in a patched cloth dress. She is Gao Shun's wife, Yu.

Yu Shi walked up to Xingtai, knelt in front of Gao Shun, and gently held the palm of her man's hand, as if comforting Gao Shun and himself: "If you are in charge, you will be fine." Yang'er has already gone to ask someone to rescue you, and I believe it will be there soon. ”

Gao Shun shook his head, he had been poor all his life, had few friends, and had no so-called dignitaries. Now except for his own wife, there is not even a send-off, and the world is warm and cold, but that's it.

"Madam, help me take care of Yang'er after I leave. If...... If you can't survive your life, find someone to marry. The tone was heavy, helpless and sad.

With tears in his eyes, Yu shook his head with a whimper.

At this time, someone reported the time to Du Zhan, Du Zan nodded, and then pulled out the word 'beheading' in the order cylinder before the case, still on the ground, and said loudly: "The time has come, the prisoner Gao Shun will be beheaded!" ”

"My lord, don't, don't!!"

Yu Shi began to shout like crazy, shouting until she was hoarse, but it didn't have half an effect, and the two officials went up and directly dragged her off the execution table roughly.

The executioner on the Xingtai took a big sip of the wine bowl and sprayed it on the blade, shining and cold in the sun.

Is this the end of my Gao Shun's life?

When the executioner's big knife above was raised, Gao Shun suddenly remembered someone, but then he smiled bitterly again, impossible.

As the blade reached its highest point and began to fall, a majestic roar no less than thunder suddenly came from afar.

Even from a distance, it shook the ears of these people.

Zhou Fu didn't let anyone else come to do bad things, and got up and yelled at the executioner: "Leave him alone, behead!" ”

The executioner couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Wang Hu, who was behind Zhou Fu, walked directly to Xingtai, kicked the executioner away, snatched the big knife in his hand, and slashed straight down.
