"quiet!"
The supervising official looked at the agitated people and slammed the gavel in front of the crowd: "Everyone, be quiet."
But the people watching did not listen.
Instead, a leader stood in the crowd and shouted, "Sir, the Marquis of Zhenbei was wronged. Please show mercy."
"Please have mercy, sir!"
The people followed suit and shouted.
Yang Tiejiang, kneeling on the stage in prison uniform, looked at the people pleading for him with a look of relief in his unshaven eyes.
He shouted loudly: "Thank you everyone, thank you for believing in me, Yang Tiejiang, who was wrongly accused."
The executioner looked at Yang Tiejiang, who was still calm and thanking everyone, then turned his head to glance at the eunuch beside him, and looked at the guards hiding in the dark with a hidden look.
"Eunuch, this matter...do you think you should report it to His Majesty?"
The eunuch said in a pinched voice: "No need, His Majesty said that the execution will be carried out immediately at noon."
The executioner looked up at the sun which was almost at its zenith.
Looking at the excited people and Yang Tiejiang who was not afraid of beheading at all, the executioner sighed in his heart and said nothing more.
soon.
"My Lord, it's a quarter past noon."
Upon hearing this, the executioner pulled out the token from the table and threw it on the ground: "It is noon, the execution will begin."
The executioner came forward with a big knife.
He sprayed a mouthful of wine onto the sword, raised his hand, and chopped it down with a sharp movement...
Just then.
"Clang!"
An arrow shot out from the sky, knocking the executioner's sword away. Then, countless black figures flew out from the crowd and headed towards the Zhenbei Marquis on the stage...
No one reacted.
The executioner was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and shouted, "Quick, someone is robbing the execution ground..."
And it was at this moment.
The guards hiding in the dark suddenly rushed out in full force, surrounding the execution ground from all directions.
This scene left the people stunned.
Those black figures and the guards instantly engaged in a fight, and the scene was in chaos.
Yang Tiejiang was caught up in it, and the leading black-clad men shouted at him, "Lord, we are here to rescue you!"
Yang Tiejiang was confused: "Who are you?"
The leader of the black-clad men shouted, "My Lord, don't be afraid. All of our subordinates have arrived in the capital. You are the legitimate heir of the royal family. Now a tyrant is in power, allowing his evil concubine to murder loyal officials. We are willing to die for you. Please don't endure it any longer. We are rebelling against Emperor Wenyuan..."
"Yes, we rebelled against Emperor Wenyuan and made the Marquis the emperor."
"Don't be afraid, my lord. Our army is just outside the city..."
The man in black was fighting against the guards while speaking loudly in his voice.
When the executioner and others heard this, their faces changed.
"Oh no, the Marquis of Zhenbei is going to rebel..."
But the next moment.
Yang Tiejiang shattered the rope that bound him, grabbed the neck of the man in black who was closest to him, and angrily asked with a dark face, "Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about? Am I going to rebel? What am I rebelling against? I'm rebelling against your mother XXX..."
The man in black obviously didn't expect Yang Tiejiang to do this, and he was stunned for a moment.
The executioner and others were stunned.
At this moment, Yang Tiejiang casually pulled off the black man's veil. His face darkened when he saw him, and he shouted in a thick voice, "Barbarians? You are actually barbarians?"
Following the sound of a barbarian.
The crowd that had just stopped suddenly came to their senses.
Yang Tiejiang's voice rose again in anger: "You barbaric dogs, you actually lurked in the capital? And you dare to accuse me of innocence?"
"I'm going to kill you today!"
"Protect the people."
After Yang Tiejiang shouted loudly, he snatched the knife from the man in black like a tiger and started to fight back.
One knife per one.
Like cutting leeks.
When the leading black-clad man saw this, he immediately shouted, "My Lord, we are your people..."
"Bullshit."
Yang Tiejiang cursed angrily: "Who are you to me? My clean reputation has been tarnished by you bastards. Today you dare to come to my door. I will kill you and bury you with me." Yang Tiejiang swung the sword with great force.
The man in black was forced to retreat for a moment.
"My Lord, if you don't trust us, you should trust Duke Yang of Qi, right? We were sent by Duke Yang of Qi..."
Yang Tiejiang's face turned pale and he shouted, "How dare you drag my daughter into this? I'll give you face."
"What are you standing there for? Arrest them! These are barbarians."
Yang Tiejiang killed while shouting angrily at the guards.
The next scene is that Yang Tiejiang, who should have been beheaded, actually fought his way through the men in black, and after the guards reacted, they also started to fight back in a well-trained manner.
The men in black were all killed.
This didn't go according to their plan at all.
The biggest surprise was Yang Tiejiang!!
No one expected that under such circumstances, Yang Tiejiang would not go with them at the first moment, but would kill them instead!
When the leading man in black saw the situation, he had no choice but to issue an evacuation order.
"Still want to leave!"
Yang Tiejiang acted as fast as lightning and directly captured the leading man in black who wanted to escape. In order to prevent him from committing suicide, he even tore off a dirty piece of cloth from his body and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Yang Tiejiang threw the controlled men in black in front of the supervising officer and said in a gruff voice, "Sir, I've checked everything. These are barbarians. There are totems on their arms. Remember to hand them over to the emperor when the time comes."
"By the way, do we still want to continue chopping off heads?"
Looking at the men in black who were tied up like dumplings on the ground.
The executioner glanced at Yang Tiejiang and swallowed subconsciously. It was said that the Marquis of Zhenbei was brave and good at fighting, with great strength, which was why he was able to win every battle on the battlefield and was relied upon by the late emperor.
Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, the executioner knew that Yang Tiejiang was indeed as the rumors said. If he really wanted to escape, he could have.
But he was paraded through the streets and taken to the guillotine.
If such a god of war truly had the intention of rebellion, how could he have fallen into such a state...
But before the executioner could answer, the sound of drums came one after another, as if they could penetrate the clouds.
“It’s the Dengwen drum!”
The sound of the Dengwen drum is different.
Moreover, the Dengwen Drum had been sounded twice in the past few months, the first time by Yang Zhao and the second time by Princess Yuchang, so everyone recognized it when they heard the drum sound.
"Listen, seven, eight, nine, nine..."
“Boom…”
"Ten, ten beats of the Dengwen drum..."
“Knock, knock…”
Everyone who had been paying attention to the number of drum beats was stunned when they heard the drums were still beating after the tenth beat.
What on earth happened?
The Dengwen drum was struck so many times...
