Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 397 397. Scared to Death
"Good catch!"

"These corrupt, mediocre and bad officials should all be arrested..."

"The Prison Division is doing a great job eliminating harm for the people!"

"Hey, have you heard that the prison department interrogated all night and released more than a thousand people without charges, sentenced hundreds of people to prison, sentenced hundreds to exile, and punished hundreds of people to confiscate to a lowly status... and sentenced them to death. There were as many as 800 torturers..."

"What, we have to behead more than 800 people. How much blood should be shed? The blood will flow like a river..."

"These people all deserve what they deserve. Support the Prison Director!"

"Not necessarily. I will tell you quietly that this incident is unusual. It is said that these people are related to the Shenleifang. His Majesty has issued an order that anyone involved in the Shenleifang would rather be killed by mistake. One hundred, and I will never let one go..."

"hiss……"

"So, maybe some of the more than 800 people were wronged?"

"There may be some, but not many. These people have been officials in the capital for many years and dominate..."

"Here's the news, there's the news, the prison secretary has just announced that he will be beheaded at the Caishikou Gathering tomorrow at noon!"

"What! Tomorrow, is it so urgent?"

"I cut off more than 800 heads at once..."

"You don't know that in the past two days, there has been a mountain of petitions to impeach Mr. Sikou, the prison chief, as well as petitions to plead for mercy..."

"There are also civil and military officials who are kneeling on the ground outside the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial City, begging His Majesty for mercy..."

"However, His Majesty is very tough on this matter. All the papers for impeachment of the Prison Secretary or the papers for pleading for mercy were burned. His Majesty did not summon any of the civil and military officials who knelt down to beg for mercy outside Chengtian Gate..."

"From this point of view, those 800 people are really dead! When the time comes, heads will be rolling in Caishikou and rivers of blood will flow..."

"Brother Li, how about we go to Caishikou together tomorrow to watch the execution?"

"You have to go alone, why are you holding me back?"

"Brother Li, I'm ashamed to say that, Brother Yu... is a little scared..."

"roll……"

……

Jiangcheng Bo's Mansion.

"Husband, I will behead you at the vegetable market tomorrow... I want to go and see it."

"No, that scene is so bloody. Children will have nightmares after watching it!"

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't want to go himself, and he didn't want his wife to join in the fun.

Of course, there is a deeper reason.

That was because Zhu Xiuyuan felt guilty.

It’s such a big deal!

He chopped off more than 800 heads at once!
Zhu Xiuyuan has been reading history every day recently, and he has a relatively good understanding of the history of this world.

Although there have been many cruel kings throughout the dynasties.

However, this was the first time that such a feat of cutting off [-] heads at once had occurred!
This will be a big event that will be recorded in history!
Logically speaking, as a witness to history, Zhu Xiuyuan should take a look.

"Hmm... But husband, I want to see you. Besides, I am very skilled and I am not afraid of ghosts. As long as they dare to come, I will beat them one by one on sight. I will beat them hard enough to reincarnate and regret being a ghost!"

Dong Shuzhen huddled in Zhu Xiuyuan's arms, waving her little fists, grinding away at him.

"Ha ha."

Zhu Xiuyuan grinned.

"Madam, you have been on the battlefield, why are you still interested in this kind of thing? You shouldn't!"

"I'm going, I'm going... My husband just promised me two days ago that I would take my concubine out for fun, and I also agreed. You are not allowed to say that you have forgotten or make excuses."

"Um...is there?"

"Ah...husband has indeed forgotten! No matter what, my husband said it himself, but I have remembered it in my heart!"

……

The two maids, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, were snickering from behind.

They like to watch the uncle and the young lady playing around the most. It seems to be very interesting this way.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly turned around, looked at Qiu Wen who was snickering, and said, "If you are still laughing, tomorrow you will go to Caishikou with my wife and I to watch the executioner chop off the head!"

But it turned out that Zhu Xiuyuan hadn't tortured Dong Shuzhen, so he was forced to agree to take her to see the execution scene tomorrow.

"Ah! No, no, uncle, slave, don't go..."

Qiu Wen was frightened and ran away screaming. "coward!"

Dong Shuzhen waited and laughed.

……

Day two.

noon.

Cai Shikou.

This is where executions take place.

Today, the place is as crowded as the Qinhuai River at night.

Zhu Xiuyuan and his party arrived earlier, so they got a better position.

where?

It was a restaurant near Caishikou.

In a box on the second floor, Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuzhen, Xia Wu, Yan Dashan, and several Jinwu guards were among them.

They looked down from the window and had a panoramic view of the entire execution ground.

"Wow, so many people!"

Dong Shuzhen held one of Zhu Xiuyuan's arms, stuck out her head, and scanned around the execution ground with her eyes wide open.

"Miss, look, those are the executioners, what a big ghost-headed sword!"

Xia Wu exclaimed, gesturing with her hands, as if she was chopping with a ghost-headed knife.

Zhu Xiuyuan remained silent.

Fortunately, he found such a relatively independent place.

Otherwise, he didn't know how many strange looks he would receive.

"It's [-]:[-] noon, execution!"

There was a faint voice coming from the execution ground.

At this time, the people in Beijing who came to watch the execution suddenly became excited and noisy.

"Husband...husband, it's about to begin!"

In the box, Dong Shuzhen hugged Zhu Xiuyuan's hand tightly and hid half of her head behind Zhu Xiuyuan. The eye that looked at the execution ground was wide open, as if she was afraid of missing something.

Zhu Xiuyuan saw Dong Shuzhen's actions, which was obviously a sign of fear.

He smiled and was about to make fun of him when suddenly, two screams came from his ears, the sound was so high that it almost pierced his eardrums.

Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly looked in the direction of the execution ground and saw that it had already begun. The first batch of heads had already landed...

He withdrew his gaze again and looked at the ladies on the side.

But he saw that Dong Shuzhen had shrunk behind him, holding his waist tightly with both hands, and her little hands were very strong.

On the contrary, Xia Wu did not dodge, but stared at the execution ground with her eyes wide open...

"Madam, I told you that you will be scared. Why don't you stop looking and let's go back!"

Zhu Xiuyuan advised.

"No, no, I can do it, I can do it..."

Dong Shuzhen hugged her husband tightly, slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of the execution ground.

At this time, the executioner on the execution ground was already beheading the second batch of prisoners.

"Ah! Beheaded, beheaded..."

Dong Shuzhen screamed again and hid behind Zhu Xiuyuan in panic...

……

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others finally gave up halfway.

To be precise, they only saw the fourth batch before they left for home.

It's like just watching the beginning.

Dong Shuzhen was indeed frightened. During the process of returning home, she did not want to stay away from Zhu Xiuyuan for a moment.

As long as she left for a while, she would cry out in fear and claim that a headless ghost came to fight with her...
