Chapter 20 Heads Rolling

Everyone in the palace knew that Bai Muqiu was the little emperor and his predecessors, so the party of King Pu naturally knew that, so the emperor had to make some statements during this sentence, and no one would take the initiative to take on the job. King Pu had also considered this matter. Since someone stood up, let him come, regardless of whether he was a eunuch or not. So Bai Muqiu came to the table and became the executioner who massacred loyal ministers' families.

On the day of execution, Bai Muqiu walked out of the palace gate and came to the Ministry of Justice to check the number of people himself, but when he entered, his heart suddenly thrust. All the people in it were detained were old, young, women and children. Half of the adult males were killed because of resistance. At this moment, he was alive, like a walking corpse, looking at everything murmly, as if he had accepted his fate.

This time, King Pu Zhao Wu did a bit ruthlessly. He usually committed the crime of officials, women and children being incarnated into the government and being resold to others as slaves and maids. However, this time, he was different. Taking advantage of Liang Bitong's charge of traitoring the country, his family of 36 were taken to Shikou to behead him.

After the inventory was completed, Bai Muqiu looked at the time almost the same, asked the prison chief to prepare a bowl of dead head rice for everyone, and then sighed and went out. The prison chief was not as cold-blooded as before. This time, the execution was the most common time when women and children were beheaded. After all, everyone's hearts were full of flesh.

No one moved the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing this, Bai Muqiu signaled to put the person on shackles and escort them to the execution ground.

Liang Bing has been an official for decades and has a particularly prominent reputation. Even if these women and children walk outside with disheveled faces, their heads are raised and their chests are raised. The people on both sides of the street are watching them pass by one by one. Obviously, they can vaguely see that Liang Xiang is definitely not like that, and how innocent are these women and children?

There were even elderly people who covered their faces and cried bitterly.

Bai Muqiu was riding on the horse, feeling particularly uncomfortable. He had thought that many people would be implicated and died, but when the numbers in his thoughts turned into bloody reality, the difference was like a stone in his heart, which made people feel uncomfortable.

The officers led the way in front, separated the bustling crowds and allowed the women and children to arrive at the execution ground smoothly. Bai Muqiu sat on the temporary prison inspection platform and looked at the time. There was still some time. Before he came, he had told Hai Dafu that he would take Liang Yuanchui to come and save people, but he could not let him come to save people, just to make him angry.

A crazy mad dog is what Bai Muqiu wants. Only when such a person who loses his mind can he be safe to use, and will not notice the loopholes in it, and thus suspect the emperor and himself.

But will it be a bit of a conscience to even squeeze out the last little surplus value of the Liang family?

Thinking of this, Bai Muqiu stood up and walked to the middle of the execution platform, bowed to an old man in the middle and said, "Madam Liang, my father-in-law Bai Ning in the lower palace has you covered. Our family knows that the wife is also a person who is very wise and should know that Your Majesty has lost power. The initiator is His Highness King Pu. Although our family is a supervisor, we also want to keep people under the knife, but we have the will but we are not strong enough."

Mrs. Liang knelt on the ground with her body under her ties, raised her head slightly, and looked at the eunuch who was only fifteen or sixteen years old in front of her. Her arrogant integrity also relaxed. "My father-in-law entered the palace so young, and she must be a pitiful person. Old man is not the kind of irrational person. Young father-in-law is kind, and old man means that the whole family is grateful for it. You are just a servant, so naturally you won't make things difficult for you."

After saying that, Bai Muqiu suddenly whispered: "I'd like to tell my wife that Yuan Chui has been rescued now. Today, he has asked him to see you off in secret. Of course, the Sa family dare not let him come to rob the court. After all, King Pu has set up an ambush here. He is the only incense of your Liang family. Please comfort Liang Xiang in the dark of the springs."

"I thank you for your father-in-law." Mrs. Liang nodded and thanked.

"Grandma, I'm afraid!"

A child looked at Xueliangliang's ghost-headed knife timidly and leaned towards Mrs. Liang hard.

"Can'er, don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt."

Mrs. Liang tried to say in a gentle tone, "You Daddy will take revenge from our family, so don't be afraid. When we get down there, we can see our grandpa again."

When Bai Muqiu heard these words, his face turned pale and his fingers were pinching "crack" sounds. There is no way, this is the court. Today, either you die or I die. Once a person falls, the family members behind him will suffer. Those who have been like this throughout the ages are like crucian carp trees crossing the river, and those who die on the execution ground are even more like cows.

In order to make a life for yourself, there must be sacrifices.

It’s just that the sacrifice is not only the lives of others, but also Bai Muqiu’s own conscience.

At the same time, in the hidden corner of the crowd, two people wearing hats looked at the punishment platform from afar. One of them was covered in tears and gritted his teeth. If the other had not been grabbed by the arm, he would have rushed up to the robbery of the law to save people.

"Yuan Chui, don't be impulsive."

Hai Dafu's face hidden under the hat was unable to show his expression, and he only heard him say, "How many people did you go up and save? The ambushed was set up by King Pu here, and if you go up, you will only add an extra headless corpse."

"I can't rest assured that my wife and children die under the knife, and I can only stop by and watch. I feel uneasy. Even if I die at this moment, it's more comfortable than standing here! Let's let go and make me happy." Liang Yuanchui cried in a low voice.

"Don't let go!" Hai Dafu did not let go, but grabbed it tighter, lowered his voice and said, "It's not a waste of time for our family to save you? If you die together, who will avenge their blood-sea revenge? Who will avenge your father's revenge? Your Liang family is the only living person now. If you die, you will be truly defeated."

Liang Yuan drooped his teeth and his eyes were glaring blood red. He heard the little eunuch on the torch on the ground and his subordinates shouted: "It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the execution is carried out!"

I saw the executioner wrapped in red clothes coming to a young woman with a ghost-headed knife. The woman was stuffed and cried. She stared at the cold knife in fear and slashed from the top. An instant head fell into the basket, and a stream of blood sprayed out a red arrow.

Liang Yuanchui was trembling all over, staring at the falling headless corpse, and said, "That's my sister."

Then another woman was cut off her head, her eyes stayed in fear, staring at the crowd through the gaps in the basket.

Liang Yuan gritted his teeth and cried, "That's my wife."

.............

The 36 members of the Liang family were cut off one by one. Every time they killed someone, Liang Yuanchui would tell Hai Dafu who they were and what their relationship was with him. The further he went, his expression became more and more numb, and then he became ashamed, with no emotion in his eyes, as if he was pulled away from all the emotions that people should have in an instant.

At this time, the butcher knife came to the neck of the last man, and the old woman Liang shouted: "Yuan Chui, my son, the Liang family is in trouble today, because the disaster of King Pu is caused by the chaos of the court. Your father is not good at eliminating the thief and is not unjust to die, but what are the women and children of the Liang family? Yuan Chui, remember to avenge us and others."

The words came to an abrupt end and the blade fell.

Liang Yuanchui pinched the flesh on his thighs hard and said ruthlessly: "If you can't eat the flesh and blood of that guy Zhao Wu in this life, Yuanchui will die with his eyes open. Father-in-law! Let's go."

On the 14th day of the lunar calendar, the gates of ghosts were closed, but a group of creatures were taken away.

People rumored that the emperor was incompetent and incompetent, and King Pu was tyrannical and cruel to loyal people. For a while, the city was full of storms and people were in panic.
